◇The Hybrid◆

chapter 27

Layla's POV.

"he's playing me?" i say with disgust.

dany lowers his head and nods.

"who else knows about this?"

he sighs. "everyone"

"AND NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPOTANT TO TELL ME!?" my voice booms.

dany cringes at the sound and looks everywhere in the room where i'm not.

"i'm sorry. but derek doesn't know we know. the only one he told is Aaron, but Aaron thought it was wrong so he told me and the other guys and of course Aaron told Rebecca and Caron told Amber" 

"and that's supposed to make it better? that he only told Aaron?"

"no. what i'm saying is we can have a little fun"

"what do you mean?"

"derek doesn't know we know about his plan.. so we can be one step ahead. don't let him know we know and we need to make a plan of our own" dany says. i could tell teh evil plan was already forming behind his light up eyes. 

this is going to be good. that bitch derek will get a taste of the dish he handed out, but didn't intend to take a lick himself. i chuckle lowly. between the plans dany has and the plans that are forming in my head..

derek will be the one that breaks, not me.

Derek's POV.

hopping in my big black truck, i drive to mine and layla's school. 

speeding down the empty roads, my tires sqealing when i jerk the steering wheel on the turns and curbs. 

when i finally reach the school parking lot i yank the keys out of the ignition and slam the door. jogging to the front door i see may people that i know. most of them greet me, but when i see some of my pack members like Mason, Ryan, Chance, Dyan, Jared, Carson, amber.. they all give me dirty looks. 

what the hell is their problem?

especially amber. she gives me a death glare. 

wtf!

i walk past all of them, on a mission to find layla.

i go to her class and step in the doorway, examining all the faces in the room.. none of them her's.

what?

i go to her locker to wait for her. 

when i get there i am prepared to get smacked with her scent.. but nothing happens.

usually when i step twenty feet away from where she once was my nose gets overwhelmed and almost starts to bleed.. but nothing happens.

why isn't she at school? 

did she stay home?

no.

she hasn't missed a day of school for years.. why would she start now?

then it hits me.. 

i run through the halls, knocking some scrawney freshies to the floor accidentaly.

i get in my truck and start it up. 

speeding all the way to the pack house.

i don't give a shit what christopher says.

i have to see her right now.

and i didn't see dany with the other pack guys. and Aaron graduated last year so he wouldn't be at school anyways.

i swear if Aaron told dany i'm going to kill him.

Dany can't keep his mouth shut for the life of him.

layla better not be with him.

or so help me..

i pull up to the house to see dany's car still in his parking place.

damn it!

i rush to the porch when i hear two voices.

layla and dany.

i push the door open and rush into the living room, not even bothering to listen to what they've been saying. 

"derek?" a bright smile takes over her face.

"layla" i say smiling.

i run up to her and wrap my arms around her. she hugs me back, but like she usually does.

.. it's probably because i've been gone for a few days i choose to believe.

Layla's POV.

"so you understand what to do?" dany asks me.

"of course" i snort. "it's not like it'll be hard"

"you never know with him"

"i know, he already loves me. he's volnurable and i'm going to use it to my advantage. love is a weakness. and it's his greatest weakness" 

dany smirks. "if you say so"

"i do"

we hear a truck door slam and the front door swings open.

"derek?" i ask, plastering a fake smile on my face.

"layla" he smiles.

pft. piece of cake.

he runs up to me and embraces me, wrapping his arms around me tightly.

i hug him back, trying not to let my anger get the best of me.

i need to put on a good show.

"i missed you" he says into my neck, slowly kissing it.

"why were you gone?" i ask,

"you father didn't want me to see you"

"why?"

"because he thought you needed time alone. you know, to cope with everything"

i push away from him. "i'm perfectly fine" i say fakely, trying not to grit my teeth.

"good.. now, what were you guys talking about?" he asks.

"oh nothing" i wave him off.

"why weren't you at school?" 

"i wasn't feeling well" i lie.. partially. right now i want to puke just from smelling the faint scent of my dad's cologne on derek. i want to puke, then lash out and let all my anger out on derek. ripping him open with the razor sharp claws i slashed my father's face with.

but i need to get those thoughts out of my head.

if i want derek to believe i am in love with him, i need to act like it. i can't think about stuff like that anymore.

"i missed you too" i change the subject and pull him in for another hug.

dany comes into my eyes sight and smirks. i smirk back and he nods giving me a thumbs up. 

the plan is now in action.
