The Spurned Heir

Chapter 45



The creaky sound of the door made my eyes flutter open. It was dark in the night making me wonder who the hell walked into my room which had become a new prison, a dungeon for myself.

A room with nothing but the cold bare floor and a single window, there is no bed this time around making it worse.

Since we came into the new house, no one had cared to check me out, it has been a full day and there was no one bringing my food, all around me was nothing but silence.

The only sound that my ear could hear was that of the chains each time I move my body, all I wished for was my powers to become stable, I don't get why it fluctuates, it comes out of my control and disappears like it was never there. Noah had been strange just like me, he got great powers which no mere werewolf had. The power of the dragon and wolf combinations, he was full of power that I was a bit afraid to approach him at that time of the war. I was afraid he won't hear my voice since he was in a rage.

Just as I got In front of him with tears, I lost my mind and couldn't understand what happened next, my lips were quivering but nothing came out instead it was the beast in me talking to him.

It was one of the strange things that had kept happening to me since I clocked 16. I'm not surprised, I guess there are a lot of secrets around my birth which I'm unaware of and I don't have the strength to pester myself about it.

I was able to stop Noah from killing my family and pack members but no one thanked me for that. I was still hated and spurned as it had always been, they took Noah away and I haven't seen him all this while, I was sad I yelled at him, I knows he must be pained right now.

Where had they taken him to? I won't stop hissing as my wrist and ankles ached at the shackle around them, the clanking sound of the chains at slight movement made me angrier, I felt like a slave, I wonder when I would feel love from my father, from the Royal members, from my pack members.

My life sucks so bad.

I had tried sleeping but couldn't, the cold floor made me chill, I could only sit and rest my head on the wall, Daciana was sober and won't stop howling in anger.

"Can't you use those power again?" She kept asking for the umpteenth time, her tone showing nothing but exasperation.

I was even too hungry to reply to her. It pains me more that I can't use the powers at will, I am a useless Hybrid.

Right when I was about dozing off, the door made a creaky sound that made my eyes flutter open only to see three human figures walking in. Their faces were covered with the darkness around the room but I could notice one being dragged by them.

They pushed the person to the ground and walked away immediately.

"Hey who are you?" I asked, feeling a bit frightened.

There was no reply so I scurried to the window and pushed it open allowing the bright moon to illuminate the room.

I turned back to see who the strange person was and my jaw dropped, seeing it was Noah my mate.

He was standing already but I can see wounds all over his body and it was bleeding, but then there was a sweet smile on his face that brightened the whole place like the sun.

"Noah", I called out with a gasp feeling my heart beat so fast.

"Layla my love", he muttered and licking his lips making it look brighter and inviting to kiss...

I was about to say something when he lost his balance and fell, with speed, I held his back making him fall on me instead.

I landed heavily on my butt, while he grunt in pain,

"Layla, I'm sorry", he muttered with his eyes glistening,

"Sorry for what?", I asked and he smiled,

"For you hitting the floor, I can't believe i am so heavy, i feel so weak from their beating, I could have fought back but I dare not, Layla my heartbeat would be angry if i touched any of them", he chuckled softly making me blush. "You mean my father beat you up?", i asked witha deep frown.

"But Layla...Why did they cage you here?... Why those chains?", he asked, squinting at the cuff around my wrist, i could see how he became.

"Noah, do you love me this much??...you took all this painful torture without fighting back just for me?", i asked and he let out a weak smile.

"I love you more than you can ever imagine, I don't mind dying for you, I'm sorry for making you ever cry", he replied carressing my right cheek.

"Then, why did you kill my sister, even when you aren't the one who did the act, but you knew she would die, you sent her to the grave by luring her to your pack knowing full well that your dad would kill her, why?", I sulked, feeling pained at the thought of Hazel being dead.

********

Noah's POV,

"I never planned her death, I never wanted to kill her, my father tricked me into believing he won't hurt her, I lied that she was my mate and that wad what made my father take her life since he never wanted me to have a mate" I explained and she sighed looking away.

I took my time to explain everything to her without excluding anything, especially why my father initiated the war.

"So do you mean Scarlett did that to your father?...then why??", she asked and i shrugged,

"Do you know who King Liam is?" I asked,

"Yes, he is the Dragon King, what connection do you have with him because you just used his powers back then on the war ground", She asked.

"I don't know, i just can't tell", I shrugged then held her palm softly.

"Layla, your father is in danger, we are all in danger, the whole pack is not safe", I mumbled,

"I know, Scarlett right?", she asked and i nodded.

"I'm not as powerful as she is, my powers aren't stable, we should find a way to kill her or this pack would be extinct soon, she is a demon!", Layla cried and i rested her head on my chest feeling her pains.

"We can fight her together, that is the only way to save your family, i have none now, I have no family, this is where i live and i won't want to see anyone killed", I sighed.

"Please kill Scarlett for me, Dad is charmed by her and everyone trusts her, even when i had told her who she is, not a single person believed me, I don't know her plans but it is sure evil!!", She grumbled, sniffing back her tears...

"I've never fought with a demon I don't know how strong she is, but I'll take the risk tomorrow, I don't mind dying if she would also die with me", I fumed and she raised her gaze to me,

"What?", I questioned and she knocked my forehead playfully,

"If you dare to die, I'll slap the hell out of you...are you dying for me to live?, when living without you is like death itself", she rolled her eyes, making me laugh.

"But i need to make sure no one harms you again, Scarlett has to die", i pressed on.

"She has to die and not you, if she's stronger than you, surrender and come back here, let's suffer together, it feels better that way", she smiled and my heart twitched.

I could swear she got the most beautiful smiles...

"Okay, I think I should break those chains now", I beamed and she arched her brow.

"Can you...", she couldn't finish her questions before i struck the chain with a single blow causing it to shatter and break off her wrist...

"Wow!!...Noah!", she displayed those white set of teeth in happiness making me forget the excruciating pain I got for some moment.

I was badly injured from the torture of Alpha Dolph and his men, i knew i was still in pain but couldn't bear seeing her bounded so i used my inner energy to break the chain causing my inner injuries to deepen. "Noah, thank you so much", she squealed in glee and I forced out a smile trying to hide my pain.

But then, I couldn't hold any longer, thick blood spurt out from my mouth and i fell but she caught me again,

"Noah!!!", she screamed seeing my eyes closed.

"Noah don't ever die!!!", she yelled at me and i felt her tears wet my face.

I smiled and opened my eyes,

"Why would I die?...you told me not to so I am not dying, beautiful girl", I let out a smug making her giggle, "You shouldn't have used your internal..."

"Shhhh", I hushed placing my index finger over her soft lips.

"Don't mention, you can't be in a chain while I'm free, let's sleep so I can heal faster so I can fight Scarlett...", I said and she frowned.

"Would you be strong enough to fight her?... I'm serious...never you die for me!... I won't forgive you if you die and leave me all alone!", she whined and i couldn't hold the huge smiles all over my face.

I've never felt so much love from someone, her eyes were glinting in pure passion and love, her tone was exuding care and compassion, she cared for me and never wants me to suffer even if it's to save her.

Dad was wrong, he was fucking wrong in his idea about mates, i think they are the best thing to happen to any werewolf, some are unfortunate to have bad or wrong ones, but Layla is the best, she is the best mate anyone could have, I am so lucky to have her as mine.

"Have a good rest, if you aren't strong enough, just keep calm and stay beside me", she beamed and her face so angelic.

I lay on her laps while she rested her head on the wall.

Her lips were parted a bit making her look so sexy, I got the chance to admire her so closely, her boobs were sumptuous with her flat belly That matched her body, i am not good at describing but i can swear she is a paragon of beauty, so perfect!

Liam's POV,

"You can leave the room now", i said to my servant just immediately after the handed the invitation letter to me.

He had told me it was from Alpha Dolph and i was really surprised, because I have no business with the werewolf since I'm more magical and powerful than all of them.

I rule the Dragon Clan who were fewer than the werewolves, but were stronger and more powerful. The last time I got to do anything with a werewolf was because she captured my heart.

That moment Evelyn of the Moon heart pack came here with Scarlett, those moments can't leave my head and that was all i could savour since she had vanished from the surface of the earth.

It was clear she must be dead, but I can't just bring myself to believing that, I had visited the demon clan to confirm the rumour I heard but got no useful information.

Scarlett her friend couldn't also tell me where she is, instead, she preferred using it to come close to me, I hated her so deep for that and banned her from crossing the boundary...

Each time I recall that last night when we had sex, it makes me go giddy, how would i had known that night would be our last time together, she was nowhere to be found and i waited for years to see her, yet she never returned. I stared at the letter and for some seconds, i wonder what could be in it. Could it be related to Evelyn?

I had to tear the cover off immediately and bring out the letter itself.

My brow arched at what I read, i was confused.

"A werewolf named Noah from the Red moon pack used the power to the Dragon to unleash terror on the war ground??"

How could that be possible?,

There had never been any Hybrid like me before?... I had only trained Evelyn and gave her my powers, no one else.

I need to meet him!

Just then, someone knocked the door,

"Who is there at this time of the night?", I gruffed,

"Donald...I've got a piece of information to pass to you, I can't wait till tomorrow to say it!", he replied and I opened the door with my eyes,

He rushed in and bowed.

"I overheard a discussion from some group of the maiden, their voice was low so i curiously listened attentively and was shocked at what i heard", he said leaving me more curious. "So what is it?", I asked abruptly.

"Evelyn was pregnant for you", he spilled out and the letter fell off my grip as my heart skipped a beat.

I found it hard to believe, it made me transfixed in shock, the thought of having an heir with the same hybrid left me gasping.

I never had a child, it was said that I could never have one since i had great powers which no womb could carry the hybrid which I form, so what am I just hearing? "Donald!...are you here to play new pranks on me or pull my legs?", I asked with a raised brow.

"I dare not, i couldn't believe till I heard one of them say she knew where your child is", he blurted and my mouth sent agape with my eyes widened in great shock.
