Chapter 53
Chapter 53 LAYLA We drive for a few hours with a lot of other cars in tow before finally coming to a stop at the roadside in the middle of nowhere. A forest surrounds both sides of the deserted road in the darkness of the night, making everything appear scarier than it is. “You will stay here. ” Alpha Alexander repeats his command. I nod quickly and look out of the windshield. “I don’t see anything around us though. Where are we?” •We have to stop a little away so we don’t end up alerting them ahead of time. “He informs me and opens the door. I grab his arm before he can get out and leave me alone here. Alpha Alexander pauses, looking my way curiously. My heart s i p s a beat as I stare at his face.” Don’t let her get hurt. He nods slowly and pats the back of my hand.” She will be fine.” And I search his stoic face, admiring his stance in such a difficult time.” Please don’t get hurt, Alpha Alexander. His eyes lose their stern look, and a certain vulnerability swims in the silver orbs that appear to be like two bright moons to me. Surprisingly, he leans in and plasters his lips over mine. I gasp, accepting his firm but a soft kiss on my lips. His minty breath and touch linger even when he pulls away. Our eyes meet and he nods. “I will be back.” I reluctantly let him go. He opens the compartment and grabs a gun from inside. My eyes widen in surprise. Can you shoot?” He asks. Dad- – -taught me during training but I am out of practice because it was a long time ago. “I murmur, eyeing the gun and
then him. He hands me the gun, making sure to wrap my fingers around the metal object firmly. You can use it if you need to.” He tells me. Η But- Alpha Alexander climbs out of the car, closing the door behind him, and making me close my mouth. Several warriors emerge out of the black cars parked behind us in a line. I watch in the rearview mirror as Alpha Alexander tells them something and then they all dash to the left, inside the deep forest that seems to be housing scary secrets. I look down at the gun in my hand and check the security to make sure it’s on before sighing. Two of the warriors stay behind, and stand guard for the car I am sitting in as Alpha Alexander follows his men to get our daughter back. Sweat coats my back, giving rise to a cold but tickling sensation. I keep my eyes in the direction where all of them went, hoping for their quick return so I can see my daughter and her Daddy again. It’s strange how Alpha Alexander has comforted me in the past few days, unlike his cruel personality. He held me when I 1/3 Chapter 53 cried, caressed me when I wanted someone’s arms around me, and told me hopeful words when I was losing my mind. At first, I wanted to blame everything on him because it was his enemy who s n at c h e d our daughter, but when I found out the reason behind the animosity between him and the man responsible for my baby’s disappearance, I realized I should never tell Alpha Alexander any cruel words. He is doing something good when he can just look the other way and pretend nothing wrong is going on in this world. This act of his has earned him some of my respect despite the differences between US. He also earned my trust when I saw him running from one place to another day and night in an attempt to quickly locate Ayla.
His exterior looked composed and cool, not a thing out of place from his usual demeanor but the way he never slept, ate, or once stopped to relax during the last days, told another story. His inside was stirring just like mine and he was incapable of showing it. A little ice from my heart melted when I looked into his eyes and found my emotions perfectly mirrored. He never once told me that he was breaking apart like me, but I could sense it deep in my bones. It was something even Theo was not able to do for me. And I decided when we get our daughter back, I will tell Alpha Alexander he is the best Daddy Ayla can ever have and she is lucky to have him. I sigh, wrapping my arms around myself. So much time has passed since he left with his warriors and not a single one of them is back. I glance at the warriors standing behind the car and release another shallow breath. They don’t seem to have any information, or they would have certainly attempted to tell me at least. My eyes scan the area to my left, watching the trees become smaller in the distance. I nibble on my lower lip as my heart. beats at a strange rhythm. It’s almost like I can sense Ayla’s presence around me as if I can tell that we are in the right place. Lights flash on my face from ahead. I follow the bright light and find a car coming in our direction at a fast speed. My eyes narrow from the corner, trying to reduce the burning the brightness brings me. In a single moment, the car dashes past me and I turn my head to look inside. Everything slows down momentarily when my eyes fall on the man sitting inside the car, cradling a squirming child in his lap. Ayla!” I scream, opening the door and jumping out of the car hastily. The warriors get alert, trying to stop the car after seeing the same thing as me. One of them throws himself in front of it but the car doesn’t slow down and runs him over brutally, leaving a flying limp body in the air before it hits the ground. The other warrior brings out a gun from his waistband and shoots at the tires, but the one driving the car moves in a zigzag motion to save the hit. F c k .” He yells, slamming the gun to the side of his thigh before he runs in the direction of his partner.
I watch, with wide eyes and a wild heart beating inside my chest as the car carrying my struggling Baby zooms further away from us. It’s like someone is killing me again. And this time, I won’t let them. I jump into action as if driven on autopilot. My feet carry me towards the driver’s seat. I climb in and start the engine before taking a sharp U-turn and pressing my foot on the accelerator. The baffled warrior tries to block my path but when I show no signs of stopping, he jumps out of the way. I barely manage to avoid running over the injured warrior’s legs and move past him. My heart picks up a new rhythm as adrenaline flows in my veins, making me hyperaware of everything around me. The road appears empty in front of me. The other car was too fast. I press my foot harder on the accelerator, driving at a 15:07 Sat, 18 May M Chapter 53 dangerous speed while praying to the Goddess in my heart. “Please. I whisper, scanning the area cautiously. Please let me find her. “Tears threaten to blur my vision but I don’t allow them this time. As if my prayers finally get an answer, I spot the black car after moving across a curve on the road. My car speeds up. approaching the other vehicle quickly. I can tell the driver caught me in the rearview when he picks his speed, matching my approaching pace. I grit my jaw, pressing on the accelerator harshly. The car shoots forward at a wild speed and slams into the back of their car. My heart s k i p s a beat as I hastily press on the brakes and my car comes to a screeching halt. I watch as the vehicle in front of me swirls in a dangerous circle. My breathing grows ragged. The other driver slams on the brakes. The tires make a sharp noise before the car topples over to the side. “AYLA!” A scream erupts from my mouth.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
