His Regret, My Light

Layla’s POV

My biggest fear in life is being deceived by the people I love, I can't tolerate being lied to, cheated on, or made a fool. And I think that's the case right now.

I have a huge feeling my husband Alpha Dante the Alpha of the Jade pack is cheating on me, I know it's hard to believe because of how much he loves me and how he never misses an opportunity to let me know.

That's why I hired a private investigator to monitor the whereabouts of my husband, I wanted to be sure I wasn't throwing accusations around because of my fear of being abandoned.

“Here is all I have found my lady,” Detective Mel handed me a brown envelope containing all the information she had gathered over the month.

I took the envelope from her and tore it open immediately, my heart beating in my chest as I anticipated what lay behind them. Took a look at the pictures, confusion etched on my face.

“Wait!” I paused and looked at Mel, “is this all?” I asked, one could tell I was disappointed, the pictures she took were pictures of Alpha Dante attending various meetings, ones he had told me prior.

“Your husband isn't cheating on you from what I gather, I haven't seen him with any other lady except his secretary whom you are familiar with” she reported.

I sat there looking confused, I knew I was supposed to be happy about this but I had a feeling that it wasn't true, maybe he was being careful or Mel wasn't doing her job well. But that would be odd because Mel has been my private investigator for years.

“Ok, keep looking,” I said to her. “For the main time you are dismissed” I command and she bowed before leaving.

“What are you doing Layla?” a pang of guilt hit me immediately after she left the room, I knew what I was doing was wrong but I couldn't help it.

Alpha Dante and I had been together for twelve years, I was a rogue wolf who ran away from home, he found me and took me in even when everyone objected. No one likes rogues, according to the elders of the pack, they are an abomination and a curse.

Alpha Dante didn't believe all of that, he clothed and sheltered me, he was patient with me even though I couldn't speak for six months due to shock, and even after I was able to I refused to tell him where I am from.

He had just lost his father when he found me and was under pressure to pick a Luna as the new Alpha of the pack, and that's when he made me a proposal, he asked me to get married to him as that's the only way I could belong to the pack.

Everyone was against it but he was the leader of the pack, and no one dared to question his authority, Alpha Dante loved me fiercely, but he didn't do a lot for me over the years including donating his bone marrow to save me seven years ago.

So why on earth would I think he is cheating on me?

“My lady!” a voice at the door brought me back to reality, I looked up to see Anabel my right-hand maid standing at the door.

“How may I help you?” I asked, clearly not in the mood for Luna's duties.

“Alpha Dante is back and he is looking for you” she replied almost immediately.

“Oh yes, I will be down in a minute,” I said as I stood up and quickly adjusted my dress in the mirror. A few minutes later I was heading downstairs.

“My beautiful queen, the most beautiful lady in the world” Alpha Dante praised as I walked down the stairs, I was pretty much used to his praise.

“Yes my king” I replied as I ran into his arm, “what took you so long?” I asked but was quickly distracted by the unfamiliar scent on him.

“Work, meeting with the elders, I am sorry my love I know I kept you waiting” he gave me a peck on the forehead. “That's why I brought you this,” he said as he handed a fancy box to me.

“More gifts? Oh Dante you don't have to” I said as I took the box from him, and examined it, it looked very familiar, like I had seen it before.

And then it hit me, I saw him holding this box in the picture Mel showed me, I could have said it was the same box as the one with me only that the picture was taken two weeks ago.
