Chapter 25
Layla’s p.o.v
I was back home. My parents weren’t even here. Mia said that after I left, they booked tickets and went to Paris. The best parents in the world, right?
“You can’t be depressed all day, Layla. Go out and have some fun” Mia says walking into the room.
“Nope. I just want to lay down in my bed” she sighs and walks out.
I’m back to where I started. Alone.
“Layla, can you come and help me please?” Hailey walks into the room with the twins in her hands.
“Hailey, be careful” I say jumping up and taking Jaden from her.
“You can look after Jaden for me, okay?” She smiles and walks out of the room. I look at Jaden, and smile.
It would be so nice to have a family of my own. I wouldn’t be bored always, I’d be happy.
“You like your auntie right?” I coo at him, sitting on my bed.
I know that both the twins are a supernatural, because they look 2 months or older.
I lay him down next to me, and pull the covers over him slightly. He was curled up against me, and asleep.
What would happen if I was pregnant? If I could have a child? I wouldn’t really mind.
You have all the shipping to do for them. From cute clothes to cute furniture.
A family. A wanted that. With Asher. But I was so stupid to think that he would want me. The minute that bitch came, it’s like everything changed.
“Tiger- oh. He’s asleep. This guy hardly sleeps. I’ll take him from you and put him next to Aiden. Then I’ll come back” he says, picking Jaden up slowly and then walking out of the room.
We’re under attack! Someone screams in the emergency mindlink. Grandma made it for us, and you only use it, if it’s really important, and if it concerns the whole pack. This mindlink, you can never block.
We’re under attack? But who would attack us? I’m no longer with Asher?
“Layla!” I hear Mia shout, before running into the room.
“What are you waiting for? Come on. You need to be safe with Hailey.” She says, pulling me out of the room, and into the Hailey’s room,where she was, with the kids.
“Go down the safe route” Mia says, moving the huge mirror, to see a small door.
“I’ll take one” I pick up Aiden, and open the small door, as Mia waits for us.
“Layla? Who do you think it is?” Hailey asks, as she steps inside the small hallway, with Jaden in her arms. I pull the door, closing it, as I hear Mia put the mirror back in place.
“I don’t know. Rouges I guess” I say walking with her down, to the safe house.
There’s two safe houses in this pack. One for the whole pack, which is huge. And an average one, for the royal family.
I open the door, and infront of me stands, 15 rouges.
“Hello, again” the girl who kidnapped me says.
“Stay away from us” I say standing in front of Hailey.
“We just want Hailey” I scoff
“Hun, you won’t get Hailey” I say, giving Aiden to Hailey to hold.
“Oh, we will. 15 against 1? What are the possibilities” she shakes her head
“I didn’t catch your name before?” I raise my eyebrow, crossing my arms
“Ella” she smirks looking at Hailey.
“Ella. You do know that people will be waiting for you outside, by the time you get out of this place.” I say and she shakes her head, the rouges circling us.
“I won’t let them touch you Hailey. Don’t worry” I say but she shakes her head.
“It’s impossible” she mumbles and I roll my eyes.
I close them and think of my wolf. I open my eyes to see I’m stood on all four paws. My wolf is a dark brown colour, going into black, and is about 5 ft 6 inches tall.
“Bad mistake” Ella scoffs, before all the rouges turn into their wolves.
They run towards me, but I don’t let that phase me. I bite, scratch, kick, rip until they’re are only 5 left.
But no Hailey. The kids are crying in the corner, as the rouges walk towards them slowly. I run in front of them and growl.
The safe house door is opened, and Vincent runs in, with other wolves. The rouges are instantly killed.
Vincent picks up the twins and looks around, for Hailey.
I shift back, already wearing a dress, and look at Vincent.
“I’m so sorry, Vincent. I couldn’t do anything. I tri-” he shakes his head at me.
“It’s okay. I’ll bring her back. She won’t leave. Let’s get you checked out by a doctor. You’re bruised up” he says looking me up and down. I look at my self, to see my leg bleeding, my arm bleeding.
10 rouges against 1? I think I did amazing.
He walks out, looking around. He’s lost without her. And it’s all my fault. I could have done something more. I shouldn’t have left her.
“Vincent, I’m sorry” I whisper walking to the castle with him.
“It’s okay tiger. I don’t blame you. You tried your best” he whispers, looking into the forest.
“I’ll put the kids to sleep, and can you look after them, for me, please?” He looks at me and I nod
“I’ll put them to sleep. You go look for her. But don’t be alone” he nods, handing me the kids, and running into the forest, shifting into his wolf.
My hands hurt, by the time I reach the castle. Emily runs to me, and takes them away from me, as I fall to the floor. My legs are numb.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get you back together” Emily smiles at me, getting down on her knees, after handing the kids to Mia.
“I’m not broken” I say, giggling and she rolls her eyes.
“You know what I meant” she says, placing her hand on my stomach. I close my eyes, as I feel fire starting inside me. Not literally. I open my eyes,to see myself, perfect. No scratch.
“Thank you” I whisper, standing up with her.
“No problem. I’m going to go and find out who they were” she turns around but I stop her.
“Grandma, they were the people who kidnapped me. I knew that girl. Her names Ella” she nods walking away
“I’m going to go and put the twins to sleep” I say, picking them up from Mia.
“Okay. And make sure you sleep as well Layla. You have really had eyebags” she smirks and I roll my eyes, walking upstairs.
I walk to my room, and close the door behind me.
I place the twins on the bed and lay down next to them. They’re both asleep.
I close my eyes, laying down next to them.
Vincent will get your mommy back for you. I promise.
■■■■■
I wake up to a baby crying. I open my eyes to see Asher, holding Jaden in his arms, trying to make him quiet.
“I’m sorry for waking you up. I don’t know how to make him quiet” he mumbles, handing me him.
Instantly Jaden become quiet, and smiles at me.
“You’re perfect” Asher whispers under his breath.
“Sorry?” I question
“I mean, you’ll be a great mom” he says and I sigh
“If I have kids” I mumble and he looks at me, sitting on the bed
“Do you want kids?” I nod looking at Jaden. Aiden is still asleep.
“How many?” He asks
“Two. Or four. I don’t know” I whisper and Asher smiles.
“I want three kids. We can compromise” he says and I look up at him, confused
“You’re not with me Asher. And I’ll never come back to you. You’re not in my league. I deserve someone better” he nods slowly.
I say this to make myself happy. Asher is way out of my league.
“You will come back to you, because I won’t stop chasing. And yes you are out of my league, but we’re perfect for each other. And I don’t think you can get a better person than me” I roll my eyes, a slight smile on my face.
“Why are you here?” I ask
“For you.” These words will kill me once.
“I love you sweetheart. Always will” he wraps his hand around mine
“Ash-”
“I want to have kids as well. With you though and only you. Maybe we can have two boys and one girl so I can spoil her and then the boys can look after their sister. The boys should be older, so they can scare off guys, when they ask how many brothers she’s got. Right sweetheart?” I shake my head
“No. She can date anyone she wants too. But at the age of 16” I say laying Jaden down next to Aiden. It’s dark outside.
“What about 25?” Asher asks laying back, his head in my lap, and looking up at me.
“25? Nope. I said it Asher. She’ll be 16 when she can date.” He groans
“Fine. 16. And she’s going to wear the best clothes, have the best car, go to the best school as well” he smirks at me, looking up
“So she’ll be spoilt?” I raise my eyebrow at him and he nods quickly.
“Yep. She’ll be spoilt. Because she’ll be my princess” I roll my eyes, a smile on my face.
“What if we don’t have a daughter?” I ask and he shrugs
“So? We’ll keep trying?” I scoff
“And my vagina spilt open hundred times from giving birth? I don’t think so. I mean even the doctor will tell me to stop. And what am I going to say to them? Oh no, Asher wants a girl, so he wants to rip my vagina apart” he shakes his head, continuously
“No. I don’t want to hurt you. Okay, we’ll have three goes. Only three? And whatever we get, we’ll be happy. Right?” I nod
“And three times, my vaginas will having a baby coming out of it, and 6 months of hormones. Are you ready for that?” I smirk and he chuckles
“I think of it, 6 months of your favourite things. 6 months of you resting. 6 months of you shopping. And I’ll hold your hand, and you can squeeze it as much as you want, in labour. I won’t say anything” he smiles at me.
“And th-” the door opens, and I look up to see the girl walk in. She looks at me and then Asher.
What am I doing? Was I really talking to Asher about having kids...
I was angry at him.
He quickly sits up and looks at the girl.
“Charlie. Baby, I thought you were asleep” he’s cheating on her? If you can call it cheating.
“I came to find you” she mumbles and he nods, walking closer to her.
“I was thinking we can go on a date?”
Doesn’t he have a fucking heart?
“A date?” She exclaims looking up at him.
“Yeah. We’ll be staying here for a couple of days anyway, so I could spoil you in these days” she nods, excited, and leans up kissing him.
I look away. I hate him. I hate him so fucking much.
The door closes and they aren’t there.
A date? Fuck him.
Aiden starts crying and I pick him up, rocking him side to side, slowly.
“Shush,you’ll wake Jaden up” I whisper to him. I walk out of the room, with him my arms. I walk downstairs and hear something break in the kitchen.
“Fuck” Vincent.
Aiden is quiet and asleep.
I walk inside the kitchen, to see a plate broken, and Vincent sat on the floor, leaning on the cupboard, drinking vodka.
“Vincent?” He looks at me. His eyes are bloodshot red.
“She’s gone. Fucking gone. And it’s all your fault. All your fault. You didn’t have to act like a boss and kill 10 people. You could have been with her. But no! You had to show off. They took her. And I don’t know where!” He shouts throwing bottle on the floor, and it breaks into a hundred pieces.
It’s his vampire. Vincent wouldn’t really blame me. I explained to him that I couldn’t do anything.
“What the fuck are you looking at! Leave me alone! Bella’s gone. And it’s all your fucking fault!” He shouts.
Mia, Tyler, Emily and Alec run into the room, towards Vincent.
I step back. Maybe it is my fault.
I walk out of the room, and upstairs back to my room. I place Aiden on the bed, next to Jaden. Surprisingly he didn’t wake up when Vincent was shouting.
“It’s all her fault!” I hear him shout, from downstairs.
Is it my fault? No right? I tried my best.
I look at the kids, and then back at the door. Someone needs to find her. And I’ll do it.
I can’t break up Vincent’s family. She has kids, she’s a human.
I place a kiss on both of their foreheads.
“I’ll find your mom for you. I promise.” I whisper.
