When I enter the living room, I find Theo pacing the area just like Daphne said. He turns to me right after I come inside before he appears in front of me and gathers me into his arms.
“I thought you were fucking gonna die, Layla.” He swears under his breath, squashing me between his muscular arms. It’s rare for him to swear, so I can tell how scared he must be.
“I am alright, Theo.” I rub his waist from over the shirt, trying to calm him down.
“Thank fucking Goddess.” He swears again, surprising me.
I let him hold me close to him as he made sure that I was perfectly fine. We split apart after some time, and he cupped my cheek to tilt my head back and make me look at him.
“You barely survived, Layla. Barely. Do you get me?” He whispers, leaning in.
“I am fine, Theo. Really. Please don’t worry.” I smile awkwardly.
“Promise me you won’t do something like this again.” He steps closer, ending the little distance between our bodies.
I inhale his masculine scent and softly nod my head. “I promise.”
Theo’s lips meet mine right after the words fly out of my mouth. My eyes widen as he drops his hands over my waist, tugs me closer, and deepens the kiss hungrily. I moan, my lips parting for his tongue.
He kisses me long and hard, unlike what I am used to with him. I receive his yearning and fears through his lips and softly kiss him back to calm him down. He pulls back when I am out of breath.
Heat trickles down my back, making me shudder and gasp for breath. I glance over my shoulder to find the handsome man standing in the corner, watching us with his cold eyes.
Damn. I lick my wet lips while looking into those dangerous silver orbs. Theo cups my cheek and makes me face him before his lips meet mine again. This time, he kisses me harder and longer as if he wants to devour me, and I don’t do anything except let him do it.
LAYLA
Theo pulls away and strokes my cheek softly. I opened my eyes that I had closed in the heat of the moment. My breaths are ragged, and my back burns due to the intense eyes fixed on it.
“Did you meet Ayla?” I whisper.
“I did, and she seems to be holding a lot in. We need to make her open up to us and heal whatever trauma she has suffered.” He says, confirming my doubts.
“It will take time but my Baby will be fine, Theo.” It sounds like I am telling this to myself and not him.
“We will make her forget everything.” He attempts to smile reassuringly but fails miserably.
We share the same worry. It’s hard to ignore the doubts that this kidnapping might have scarred Ayla’s mind.
I sigh and step back from Theo. The scorching heat on my back is intensifying. Alpha Alexander is holding back for whatever reason, but I still don’t want to push his limits more than I have already done.
Theo looks at him from over my shoulder. I turn around to face him and find his eyes on me, cold and unrelenting. A full-body shudder rolls over me, making me take a deep breath.
“Can I stay for a while?” Theo asks Alpha Alexander.
“You should get back to your pack and work on gathering intel about your brother. “His eyes flash bright silver as he tells him.
“You didn’t catch him there?” I wonder.
Alpha Alexander shakes his head. “Cleodore was not there when we attacked. They saw us coming sooner than I anticipated. That’s how they escaped with Ayla.”
“There must be someone who told him,” Theo says.
“There has to be a spy.” Alpha Alexander nods.
“A spy? In this pack?” I gasp in surprise.
“I will find him or her soon. Don’t worry.” He whispers, directing his sharp gaze at me.
“It’s not safe for Ayla and Layla to stay in your pack for the time being, Alpha Alexander. You should let them come with me.” Theo sighs.
I nibble on my lower lip, tasting Theo’s taste in my mouth. My breath hitches as Alpha Alexander’s gaze darkens, noticing my move.
“They are not leaving my sight.” He declares, his tone leaving no room for further arguments or requests.
Theo still tries. “You should think about them, Alpha Alexander, not about what you want.”
“I am thinking about them. That’s why I will keep them in front of my eyes now. I won’t let them be away from me.” His voice takes a dangerous edge as he says, looking right into my eyes.
I swallow as my heart flutters in my chest. This is so wrong.
“You should ask them if they even want to stay, Alpha Alexander. “Theo snaps.
“Theo.” I sigh. “We should stay here instead of bringing our problems to the Lotus Pack.”
“But, Layla..”
I turn around to face him, and he closes his mouth instantly. “Please, Theo. This is what I want.”
He looks conflicted, but as always, he respects my wishes and nods at me. I release a soft breath and grab his hand.
“Thanks, Theo, for always being there for Ayla and me. “I whisper softly.
“I want to be here, Layla. There is nowhere else I want to be.” He smiles sadly.
“You shouldn’t waste more time. The sooner we find Cleodore, the sooner we can eradicate the threat to Layla and Ayla.” Alpha Alexander grumbles from behind.
“You are right. I should be on my way.” Theo nods and looks at me. “I will come soon, Layla. So, please take care of Ayla.”
I smile. He kisses my forehead before saying goodbye and taking his leave. I watch his back until he is out of the sitting area.
Sighing, I turn around and find Alpha Alexander still in the same spot. Ignoring the heated look in his eyes, I stroll towards him so I can go back to his room.
My heart races faster with each step closer to him. When I am one step away, he clamps his hand around my wrist loosely and softly pushes me into the wall beside him.
My breath whooshes out of my lungs. I expected him to angrily slam me somewhere after what he witnessed, but the gentleness of his touch made my insides quiver.
He steps closer to my body and places his hands on the wall, caging me between his arms. I throw my head back and stare into his silver eyes.
“Do you like it when he kisses you, Layla?” He whispers over my lips that they still taste like Theo.
“……” I lick my lips, trying to search for the right answer.
“Do you love him?” He leans in, resting his forehead over mine softly.
“Not yet. But I want to. “I blurt, startling myself.
