Layla

"Babe, im sorry... I won't ever lie to you like that again." I said as I wrapped my arms around Zenos waist, the next morning after I found him.

He refused to talk to me, ignoring my presence completely. I tried about everything I could think of for him to forgive me, but he just acted indifferently to everything I tried to do.

Zenos pushed my arms away coldly, with his thin and fragile fingers. I didn't want him to be even more mad, so I let him walk away.

I grabbed my hair in frustration, watching his back as he left the kitchen. I smacked my head in the cabinet, trying to figure out what to do.

"Just get Chloe to erase his memories." The most annoying voice, that I prefer to stringle out of her neck, invaded my ears.

I turned my head in disgust, but not showing it on my facial expressions. "I'm not exposing my mate to danger." I stated coldly, walking towards the entrance opposite of her. "Im your cousin! Why do you treat me like this, we're family, hes just a half breed!" My eyes darted at Layla who looked at me in frustration.

I felt my eyes turning black from pure rage. I would have been able to control it, if my emotions werent so f.cked up because of Zenos.

In a drop of a penny, I had my hand squeezing her thin neck, tightly. "I may share blood with a sl.t like you, but that doesnt mean we are family. If you go anywhere near my mate, saying this st.t, or using magic near him, I'll slice you into pieces and throw you to the dogs!" I screamed in her face, as she turned pale, fear and pain contorted her face, as tears slid down her cheeks and onto my hands.

I dropped her, her hand left marks from holding onto my arm so desperately. She held her now bruising neck, in her small hands, as she cough on the ground.

Zenos was there to meet me in shock, as I walked out of the entrance. I stood in my spot, as he stared up at me in disbelief.

I didnt feel guilt, not one once for doing what I did to Layla. I felt horrible that my innocent mate had to see such a violent scene, as his mate chocked his own cousin, not something I'm most proud of.

He pushed past me, running to Laylas side. "Are you okay?! I'll get ice for you!" Zenos said as he ran into the freezer room, returning with a small chunk of ice.

He wrapped it into a paper towel, as he wrapped it around her neck. I watched at the entrance, as he ever so gently picked her up in his thin arms.

She was just talking about inflicting magic on you, how she degraded him, and he still helped a b.tch like her.

I'm in deep horse sh.it. If I thought his cold shoulder act towards me was bad, he just watched me strangle my cousin! Goddess Selene, may you bless me, so my mate doesnt turn me into a crisp!
