Love me. Layla. Seriously? He wants me to just wake up one day and fall in love with him like it’s a chore I need to get done. I have a hard time regaining my breath even after I enter the bedroom and sit beside my sleeping Baby. Daphne tries to ask me what’s wrong to make me so red in the face, but I don’t answer. I have to make sense of it myself first. When Daphne gets tired of my silence, she sits on the couch in the comer and silently watches me. Where did Alpha Alexander go? “I wonder. He stayed with you when you were unconscious and took care of Ayla all this time. He couldn’t go anywhere to look for Cleodore so I am sure he is doing that now because he knows you are here to take care of Ayla now.” She says, smiling at Ayla who is still snoring. How did I heal, Daphne?” I ask, wanting to know which witch potion is so powerful. Honestly-She trails off. “I am not sure, Layla.” What do you mean?” I frown. You were dying, Layla.

watching me stare at Ayla. I pick up my head and shake it: ” Surprisingly, I feel like I woke up from a refreshing nap. I don’t feel hungry or tired or anything like that. That’s strange. “She pouts. It is. I will ask Alpha Alexander about it. “I decide, ignoring how his name makes my heart flutter. Love me, Layla. His deep voice is still echoing in my ears dangerously. I shake my head and silence falls in the room. The day keeps passing. Daphne sets his eyes on us while I keep my eyes on my Baby who is sleeping soundly. After some time, Ayla stirs and opens her eyes. I am there to pick her up and hug her when she looks at me. Her small smile tightens my chest with different overwhelming emotions. Mommy.” She yawns sleepily and snuggles into my neck. Chapter 39 Daphne rises from the couch and approaches us. I shoot her a teary-eyed look as she sits down beside me and pats Ayla’s head. Did you sleep well, Sunshine?” Daphne asks her in a baby voice. Yesh, Aunt Daphne. “Ayla nods groggily. That’s great.” She smiles at her. “Are you hungry, Baby?” I wonder. “Food, Mommy. They didn’t give me food. “She whispers quietly. My body goes still as I look at the open eyes staring at my neck but it feels like she is not seeing me.

She nods, silently letting me know that she will mindlink Levi to make sure Alpha Alexander is here. “I need Daddy. Pwease, Mommy.” Her eyes become glassy as she shakes me up. I was not expecting this extreme reaction to Alpha Alexander’s absence. Daddy is downstairs, Sunshine. Do you want him to come up?” Daphne pats the back of her head. I shoot her a questioning look, wanting to know if that’s true. She nods subtly, making me sigh. So, he didn’t leave the house. Thank Goddess. “Yesh. I need Daddy. “Ayla nods quickly.
