Chapter 43
Her tears struck me deep, it was like a sword that broke my stony heart, it was like a soothing ointment which made all the anger in me evaporate and I felt my heart grow heavy, all my bones became weak as I slowly descended to the ground. My body was shifting back to its normal state.
"Noah, you want to kill my father, my whole family??", she asked and I could only squint my eyes as confusion filled me to the brim.
This wasn't the voice I heard in my heart and I wasn't called Noah she didn't call me Noah back then, she called me King Liam instead, and I felt like it was my name, each time she called it, I gets affected. "What are you thinking?!!!"
"Noah, you killed Hazel and you are here to wipe the rest of my family!!!" Layla screamed at me with those tears falling, her tone exuding nothing but sadness and anger.
I wagged my head as I felt so hurt seeing her that way.
"Layla!!" I called out.
"Where is Hazel!!!" She shouted at me instead,
"I...I didn't kill her!" I shrilled in frustration,
"Then where is she?? I want to see my sister right away, she trusted you that was why she followed you home, you pulled such a stunt with her trust just to kill her??", She snorted with those angry expressions that shred my heart. She is my mate and this moment she is mad at me seemed to be my worst day on earth.
"My father killed her and not me. I swear, I never knew my father has the plan of killing her, I never knew it was his plan, we planned a different thing but he did it his way, I got no choice and I couldn't stop him!"
"Layla, I'm so sorry", I sniffed looking into her eyes still filled with rage and pain.
"You can't just tell how pained I am too"
"Noah, I don't think I can believe you because right now, you also came to fight my pack with your father and almost killed my whole family members!!!!"
"Noah, Why are you this cruel to me?!"
"What have I done wrong to you??", She cried with more tears rolling down her cheeks, her voice cracked and I could feel the exact pain she feels.
"Capture him!!" I heard the command of Dolph but didn't move, my eyes were fixed on Layla who raised her gaze to me as she heard the command from her father.
"I'm not going to resist, I'm not going to fight back, I deserve being captured for being the reason why your sister was killed and also coming to the war against your pack. I was stupid, hope you will forgive me with this?" I mumbled as the warriors walked closer to me with caution afraid I might attack.
"Layla, will you forgive me?...I'm sorry for hurting you, you are the last person I want to see your tears, all i want is your sweet smiles, it soothes my heart but your tears break it", I muttered and she opened her mouth to say something but her voice hitched, she could only gasp and yelp.
A strong chain circled me and I was interlocked, the warriors dragged me away while my other men ran off, they knew it was unsafe to stay by.
I was their hope of survival and seeing me captured simply means they are hopeless, my gaze won't leave Layla as she sobbed bitterly, i regretted all the action I took for my father but the truth was that i couldn't do things my way, he seemed to be controlling my mind somehow.
The men pushed me into a cart and drove away, i couldn't fight back, it would mean hurting Layla, and i can't bear her tears anymore...
Layla's POV,
******
I wiped the tears in my eyes and heaved a deep sigh, i looked around and saw the huge damage that had been caused, the charred body and those slain with swords and claws, many also had their hearts ripped off...
It was like a land of dead bodies, many had died both from my pack and Noah's pack, i watched as they took Noah away, I guess they are taking him to the pack...
"Dad, please don't harm him he...", my voice was cut short with a thundering slap from Dad which struck my cheek so hard that i stumbled over the ground with a scream of pain...
"What is your connection with the Red moon pack??" He asked with a deep growl
I sat up immediately, staring at him in suprise was he supposed to hit me or thank me that i saved their pitiful ass from Noah's wrath?
"Dad, I just saved your life!!", I raised my brow and I could see his face soften. Others also stared down to the ground brooding over their actions, they should all kneel and thank me!... I tamed the Dragon wolf, Noah, from wiping them out... "Layla, how did you make him calm down, how did your voice salve his anger and tamed him that much, he couldn't fight or hurt anyone again?", The head warrior mumbled with an acrched brow making me let out a gloat.
"You all what to know how I saved your assespecially?", I smirked feeling quite happy that my father and the pack members were all calm talking to me.
"You saved who??...it was all a plan!!!", we all heard another voice which i recognised to be that of Scarlett, my heart went cold at her voice,I swear she is the last person i would want to meet here...
"Scarlett...where have you been?", Dolph my father asked abruptly and she sighed then moved her gaze to me.
"She is an evil demon who planned all this with the Red moon pack, they had succeeded burning down the Royal Packhouse which she did herself before coming here, she arranged some warriors from the Red moon pack to attack you all suddenly but i was fighting with them all this while ", she spit out these lies with an innocent face that made me scoff.
"What is she talking about Layla?", Dad grunt,
"I was also confused about her gibberish, she should explain more because it sounds awkward to me", i sneered.
"Stop that pretense, you stopped Noah from killing your father all because you had other plans, tell us how you left your room where you were kept!", she asked with a deadly glare.
"I'll give you a reply when you tell us all what you went to do at the Rogue territory! ", I interjected making her flinch.

"What the shit are you talking about?", she snorted.
"Where is Oliver?", I asked her and it seemed the question notified them all that the heir to their throne is missing.
"Where is my son?", my father asked looking around.
"Did the Red moon pack kill him too?", the Beta asked rhetorically.
"Blame all that on her, Layla knows all of this... it's part of the demon strategy to wipe us all away, they had succeeded in weakening our defense using the Red Moon pack... Alpha, you should save us before they wipe us all away, the best thing to do is killing her", Scarlett huffed.
"If there's anyone we should kill, it's you, you are the demon here, stop all these pretences!", I scoffed and glanced at every other alive people, they all had their gaze on me, my father's eyes were distant and far from any emotions, i can't tell what he was thinking at that moment.
"Did i hear you all say the Royal Pack house was burnt down??", Dolph asked me abruptly with the deepest and scarieat voice ever heard, I nodded and his eyes brightened in fury.
"Who did it!!!!", he roared shaking the ground with those voices which rips the heart off, everyone cowered in fear while i stood wondering what made him this way, he can afford to make a new one, at least he should be happy we lost only a few that were in there.
"Layla did it Alpha, it's clear...how can she escape at the same time the whole place was razed down, I'm afraid there's a lot we don't know about her!", Scarlett spoke out with a mean and serious tone, Dad turned his gaze to her then me, there was some kind of fear in those eyes of his which i can't understand.
"Layla!", he muttered my name and shook his head.
"Guards, bring her to the pack house, i am not sure i am hearing the truth, I should go there and see for myself!!", he gruffed and sped off...
"Scarlett what..", my voice was cut short with a smack over my head before they bundled me away.
Scarlett sent a smirk to me and I fumed, i don't just know why dad is trapped by her words, was she using magic on him???
How can I destroy my home?... I just saved them but he won't consider that anymore...
******************
Dolph's POV,
Hot tears formed in my heart as I ran like wind, my lips quivered, great fear gripped my heart and made it tensed, it just became so heavy, all i prayed for was to find out it was all lies, it should be a prank which the Luna decides to play on me, i would surely accept it with a good laugh...
I was sure I never allowed the enemies to get close to the Royal pack house, I fought them fiercely to be sure none of them goes further into my pack and destroys anything. I was happy to succeed, I was glad I won.
Noah was stopped by Layla from attacking us but one thing no one knew was that i was invincible, the powers from my great secret chambers in the Royal pack house would keep bringing life into my body, I am sure to challenge Noah and fight to the last, I might die but I might be able to stop him from destroying further.
Layla saved me from that stress but when Scarlett came with the most devastating news.

Is the Royal Pack house ablaze?
I increased my speed as my heartbeat accelerated.
I got near and met the warriors who had caged Noah and tokk him away, they wete returning and that shattered me as the truth hover around my face tauntingly...
I shook my head and ignored them even when they called my attention, finally, I got to the spot where my mansion stood only to see it all razed down to the ground, every part of it was gone.
My world crashed, i felt like life was leaving me I need no soothsayer to know it was my end.
The powers I got was gone already, I could feel it in my body, the power of the greatest vampire whose soul i preserved in my secret chamber was leaving me for real...
Who did this???
Is it Layla??
Does it mean she has found out my secret and has burnt the whole building to weaken me so as to destroy my whole pack??
Just then, they all walked in, my Luna, my Beta, my Gamma and their mates, my warriors and then Layla who had her hands shackled.
I threw a glance at them and stared back at the destroyed house. Tears forcing themselves out as i getting weak as the powers oozed out, it broke my heart that Layla did this to me!!
They had always made me know she was a demon even when I had believed, i still got a glimmer of affection on her but less did I know sje wants me dead.
"You saw what she did??", Scarlett growled with her eyes on me, i looked up and she peered into my eyes.
I sighed and made a short laugh, i had to hide the truth of losing my powers, maybe that would save me from being destroyed immediately.
"We would build a new one, but then...Layla, for burning up this house, I swear you won't live to see tomorrow!!", I howlee with a deadly glare.
"I am not the one who did this but I am curious at why you are this way, it's just a building..." She frowned.
"Stop those pretences, you demon!!!", i yelled gritting my teeth, I cant believe she was acting like she didn't know what she did.
"We would reside in another building, i just don't get why anyone would burn down this building, it looks so useless to me!", the Beta shrugged and I swallowed the lump in my throat. If only he knew what it has made me become, if only he knew it has made me a mere Wolf.
