Trapped between two lifes

Chapter 1

Two weeks had passed since the encounter I had with my old pack and things had calmed down a bit around here.

However, Ethen had started becoming his old self again. His face was filled with anger, even when he kept saying he was fine, his worrisome face was telling something else. He was worried about what was going to follow. Sometimes he woke up in the middle of the night. To reassure him, I hug and tel him that I'm not going anywhere.

Thankfully, the rest of the pack were dealing with this difficult situation calmly and we were trying to find a solution as a team.

My thoughts were interrupted by the loud noise of the door shutting.

I run downstairs to see what had happened. That's when I saw Vincent, red from his rage.

'I liked the part, where your pack told you they would leave you alone! They have moved in our neighborhood, not even five minutes from our house.'

'Stop shouting like that! You know that I'm pregnant and that it's not good for my condition.' said Kate, who was in her seventh month of pregnancy.

Vincent looked at her, filled with nothing but love, hugged her and told her:

'You're right love. I need to protect you and our little wolf.'and kissed her on the forehead, stroking her inflated belly.

'Nevertheless, we have to behave kindly to them and not give them any chance to start a fight, we are either way neighbors now.'

Tell that to Ethen, Kate. If he hears that he will go crazy. Actually, he would not be wrong to do so because I'm pretty sure the neighborhood is not the reason they chose to move in here.' I said and I heard Ethen's voice answering me:

'I'm glad that you're including me in your discussions. ' and gave me an ironic look.

We all looked at him anxiously as to how he was going to react to the news.

'Don't worry guys, I'm not going to kill them all as a welcome. We have to remain cautious though and if they dare making any move, I won't hesitate attacking them.'

His words did not really reassure me and I think that the rest shares my thoughts.

Emma entered the living room and enthusiastically asked us:

'Who's that hot guy heading towards our house??'

'That nerd? Instead of being happy that you won the lotto with me, you're being very ungrateful. I can end this dude in matters of seconds.' said Ronan teasingly.

I ignored their bickering and I immediately headed towards the window. It was Jordan. My formal best friend and first crush. Months before I would've done anything for him, but know I'm disgusted by just looking at him.

I turned around to see Ethen's reaction, but he was already outside. I run after him because I was prepared for the worst.

'I just came to talk to Layla. I don't have any hostile intentions.' Jordan said, while holding his hands over his head.

'The fact that you came to live practically next to us doesn't really show peaceful intentions towards our pack either, since we all know your backstory with Layla.' Vincent told him, having my back.

Ethen was standing still, but his eyes could kill a man.

'Jordan, if you have something to tell me, you can share it with my new pack. I have nothing to hide from them.' I said.

Hearing these words coming out of my mouth made his face turn to stone.

'Fine then, but you should keep my words in your mind very carefully.' Jordan countered and looked at Ethen this time, provocatively.

'We know that we made a big mistake leaving you at theses hard times for you Layla, but we want to make it up for you. You are part of our family and that is not going to change. We are tied to each other and you can't throw that away for a meaningless crush. Elian is pissed at you very badly and I can't promise that he'll be as kind as I am now, when he confronts you. Come back to us before things get worse!'

He didn't get to clearly finish his sentence, as Ethen rushed to him. Thank God, Vincent was near him and could stop him, but not before he let out a deafening growl.

'You betrayed me, when I needed you the most. You had promised me that you would always be there for me, but you couldn't keep the promise. You better leave from here because you will never convince me to come back.' I told him.

'Think about what I told you, Layla. This is the last warning I'm giving you.' said Jordan and left.

Things are starting to get very ugly...
