His Regret, My Light

Layla’s POV

I was restless after he left, I couldn't sleep because I badly wanted to know where he went to, I fell asleep after a short while only to wake up in the morning to see him lying in bed and staring at me.

“You look beautiful when you sleep” he complimented, as much as I wasn't having it I put up a smile, pretending like I wasn't about to explode last night.

“What time did you get in? I asked the obvious question.

“Late at night, I am so sorry for ruining our plans, I promise to make it up to you,” he said as he squeezed my hands gently. “For now get dressed, I have another surprise for you.

Alpha Dante always spoils me with gifts but I think it's becoming too much this day, last month he got me an island that was worth a fortune, and that's when I started suspecting he was cheating on me.

“You are far too kind my lord, just give me some time to change” I replied and he stood up and left.

I reached out for my phone immediately after he left and dialed Mel’s number, she picked up the first ring. “Any news?” I asked not wanting to beat around the bush.

“No my lady, he went to the office accompanied by his beta Jake, after that he rode straight home” she replied, I let out a heavy sigh of relief before saying.

“Ok keep doing your job, and remember this is between me and you” With that I cut the call and dialed another number.

Mel has been my trusted informant for years but she was first working for Alpha Dante which means she might be covering up for him, that's why I hired someone else to look into the case, I couldn't trust her not with this.

“What do you have for me?” I asked the moment the person picked up.

“He was seen at the Blue Wave Hotel alongside his beta” Okay that's close to what Mel said. “Hours later, he came out with some lady, tall, brunette, light-skinned, they held hands as he escorts her to her car”

“His beta was there?” I asked looking shocked, Jake and I aren't exactly friends but we get along quite well, he always reminded me how much Alpha Dante loves me whenever I was beginning to have doubt. Hearing he was present only fueled my anger.

“Yes ma, I did a further investigation on the lady“

“And?”

“She is Princess Kira from the Bloom Moon pack, daughter of Alpha Gideon, from my research, they've been together for quite some while. That's all for now ma”

Princess Kira! I chuckle bitterly, of all people?

“Keep me updated, no one should know about this” I informed before hanging up.

Kira was Alpha Dante’s bestrode before I came along, everyone was so sure they were going to get married as that was the perfect alignment for both packs. But Alpha Dante broke his promise to her father by choosing me.

It caused a commotion, one that included Alpha Dante almost stepping down as the alpha of the jade pack, why do all those things for me only to go back to her? Something isn't adding up but I won't wait to find out before taking action.

I won't make the same mistake my mother made by staying with a man who brought her nothing but pain and suffering all because of love.

It's time for plan B and with a hint of determination I sent a text, a text I should have sent long ago but I was still trying to convince myself that my husband wasn't cheating.

After that I got prepared and was ready for the surprise, I just hope he will be ready for mine soon enough.
