Layla’s POV
My trust issue started when my dad left my mother for another woman the moment he realized she wouldn't be able to conceive, I was their only child and he wanted more.
“As the most powerful lycan king of the shadowfell pack I need an heir to succeed me” he would say all the time to my mother. She would plead with him to give her time as if she had a plant growing children at the back of her house.
Eventually, he got fed up and kicked her out, refusing for me to go with her, two days later my mother was found dead, the doctor said it was wolfbane poisoning, and that same day my dad married another wife. I suspected foul play but I couldn't say or do anything as I was just a kid.
And It seems like the same thing is about to happen to me, he is fed of me and will soon kick me out but I am smarter than that, I am my mother’s daughter but I am not my mother. I would never let a man treat me the way he treated her.
“Do you like the peach or blue better” Annabel asked pulling up two same dresses with different colors. I looked at the boring outfit in front of me.
There is no way I am wearing that, not when I am about to meet my husband's mistress, yes I overheard them talking about the party and how she couldn't wait to be announced as the influencer for my brand, the audacity!
I knew I had to make a statement, to let her know I wasn't some walk-over housewife, I was the Luna of the jade pack. “I want the red silky dress”
“What?” Annabel sounded surprised by my choice of outfit maybe because she was used to me wearing boring outfits. I wonder if she knew too, I mean I wouldn't be surprised, Mel my most trusted aid knew and lied to me dead in the face.
“Annabel don't waste my time, I want the red silk dress, and also not my regular basic jewelry” I ordered and she complied immediately.
Alpha Dante wants a hot girlfriend so I will give him one, let's see if he can handle the heat.
After a clean face beat, I stood in front of the mirror in my red dress, the dress was a bit revealing, my curves were in full view, my heels were higher than I could ever imagine and my lips were painted with red lipstick.
It going to be a long time and I have to be ready for whatever it is to come. I picked up my phone and placed a call. “How well is my plan going?” I said to the other person at the end of the phone.
“Just as expected ma’am” The replied was plain but I understood.
“Fine, keep me updated,” I said as I hung up the call.
The car is ready for you my lady, Annabel said and I followed her downstairs, Alpha Dante said we would meet at the party because he was caught up with something, I knew that was all a lie but I played along.
Soon enough we arrived at the location of the party, I was a bit late which I did on purpose, I needed to make a statement entrance.
“Okay Layla, this is it” I release a heavy sigh before stepping down from the car, accompanied by several body guards I step into the venue.
The moment I walked in everyone stopped and stared, I could see the surprise in their eyes, just then my eyes landed on Alpha Dante standing next to Kira.
I walked towards him, and he eyes didn't leave my body for a second, he was shocked to his bones and I loved it. Kira stood there uncomfortably staring at me too.
This man should better be prepared because I am just starting.
