“Darius, is it true? Was Layla your mate?”
“Yes, Alpha,”
“Why didn’t you ever say anything to me?”
“With all due respect Alpha, it was none of your business,”
“Fair enough,” I replied. Darius looked at a disfigured Layla, and all you could see was the hurt and pain in his eyes. Even after everything she did, and even with the way she looked right now, he still cared for her.
“You stupid b***h,” Milan said to her. “You had a loving mate all this time, but you threw him away like he was nothing, and you f****d up so many lives. Just like Terrine, all of this could have been avoided had you just given in to the mate bond, but no, you shunned the bond, and now, you’re going to die because of it,”
“Alpha before you kill her, there’s something I would like to say to her,” Darius requested. I nodded my head and Rylee and I stepped back. He kneeled down next to her and touched her cheek. Even though she was covered in blood, missing a leg, and had lacerations all over her body, the way he looked at her was obvious. He thought she was beautiful. “I forgive you, Layla,” he said and stood up. “Damn,” Milan said under her breath.
“Layla Martinez, I, Darius Hoffman, accept your rejection,” with that said, Darius left the dungeon, but as he passed me, I could see the tears in his eyes. I shook my head feeling bad for him. “Alpha, do not worry, I won’t speak to anyone about what I saw down here,” he said as he walked away. We waited a minute until we heard the door close.
“You lost out Layla,” Rylee said to her. “You could have had a loving mate, and could have been happy, but you chose to be greedy instead, and your actions have not only hurt the one person out there who loved you whole-heartedly but those that supported you your entire life. You don’t deserve happiness or love, especially for someone who has no soul,” Rylee went up to her and just shook her head. “It never should have come to this Layla. I hope both you and your wolf can be reborn and live a better life,” with a quick flick of her wrist, Rylee snapped Layla’s neck.
One enemy down, two more to go.

P.O.V.***
After killing Layla, I felt relieved and yet, I felt like a dark cloud was looming over me. I never wanted to ever have to kill anyone, but after everything she did to Wyatt, me, and even Darius, I couldn’t find it in my heart to give her mercy. I hated what I did to her, making her suffer that way, but Kaleigh told me that it’s what she and her wolf deserved. Kaleigh was just as shocked as I was when Athena submitted and basically gave up Layla. I don’t think I’d ever seen a wolf turn on its human counterpart before. After all that was said and done, Olivia changed me back and teleported home. Wyatt and Milan went to go find Darius and to explain to him why I was there, or at least, why Rylee was there, and make sure he didn’t tell anyone. I went straight upstairs to get cleaned up from all of the blood that was on me.
Kendrick got ahold of Svetlana, and she provided him with the same poison that she gave to Terrine that killed his mom. Dylan ended up being the one to administer it. Because Terrine was already injured and completely comatose from the blood loss that was caused by the whipping, the poison hit her pretty quickly, but she still suffered for several hours before finally dying. Although Dylan wanted her to suffer more, her being a low-level Omega and already injured, her body was just too weak to fight it off the way Lizzy had.
I honestly still couldn’t believe everything those two had done. I was even more shocked when Kendrick and Wyatt told me that Terrine had sold her son’s life to Svetlana before she had even conceived him. I couldn’t even fathom doing that to my pup, but she did it so easily. Wyatt called Alpha Richard at Golden Moon and told him that one of his men was the father to Terrine’s pup, and he agreed to search for him and bring him to our territory. Luckily, Svetlana didn’t actually plan to take Killian. Once she realized that he had no ranked blood, she had no use for him.
We were all sitting in Wyatt’s office with complete headaches after the day we had, and we were hoping that this day would end with that, but one could only hope. Ronan burst into Wyatt’s office and he did not have a happy look on his face, “Dad? What’s wrong?”
“Wyatt, I told the Elder’s what Layla had admitted, and they went back to Halfmoon immediately after I told them. They were already keeping an eye on them. They found the bunker,”
“Why do I sense a but coming?” Kendrick said.
“There were no humans on sight,”
“What?!” we all exclaimed.
“Dad how is that possible!?”
“I don’t know son,” something wasn’t right. There was no way that they could get rid of that many humans without being caught. They did something.
“We need to go over there,” I say to no one in particular.
“What?” they all respond.
“We need to go over there,” I repeated myself.
“Rylee, you can’t go out in the open,”
“Wyatt, they did something to those humans! We need to find out what they did! Victor deserves answers! All those victims deserve answers!” I shout at him.
“I get that, but you can’t go out in the open,”
“But I’m Megan right now!”
“I know you want to go because you want to use your powers, but you heard Olivia! You can’t use your powers otherwise the vampire can find you,” I grunted and frustration and crossed my arms. Then it suddenly hit me. “Wait, I’m not the only wolf with powers!” I exclaimed.
“s**t, she’s right,” Kendrick said. “Lorenzo is a Primordial too,” I watched as Wyatt lifted his brow and c****d his head to the side.
“Well damn, I guess I need to ask him for his help,” Wyatt said. I was about to say something, but he cut me off, “The only problem is that I have no reason to go to Halfmoon, let alone take a complete stranger there,” “Son, I think Richard can take care of that one. With everything going on with Halfmoon, he’s told me that several Alphas are wanting to pull out their pacts with Ash,”
“The only way to do that would be to have an Alpha’s meeting,” Wyatt responded.
“Wyatt, we’re also coming up on the one year mark since we were last there,” Kendrick said.
“s**t,” Wyatt looked straight at me and I frowned.
“You forgot, didn’t you?” I asked him and he made a guilty face. “Oh my god, you did!” I exclaimed.
“Forgot what?” Kendrick asked and I looked straight at him. “Oh crap!” he shouted.
“Uhhh…care to share,” Jason said, and I just looked at him as well. “What?”
“I hate all of you,” I said and crossed my arms.
“What did we do!?” Milan and Melody asked.
“You guys,” Wyatt said to them. “Rylee’s birthday is tomorrow,” I saw the shock and guilt on everyone’s face.
“Are we allowed to celebrate it? I mean, it’s Rylee’s birthday and not Megan’s,” Melody said.
