My Alpha Wants Two Lunas? I'M Done (Laila and Holt) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 The Conlays Have No Hope Left

Holt’s POV:

The moment the bond severed, my heart felt hollow, as if I had lost the most precious treasure in the world.

For a split second, I felt regret. But Laila’s cold, indifferent expression made me quickly push that feeling aside.

I even wondered whether she had ever truly loved me, or if she had only married me because her mother had chosen me.

Besides, how was an Omega like her going to survive after leaving me? Had she really thought this through?

But it didn’t matter. None of it mattered anymore.

Right now, what I needed to do was secure half of her assets and seize control of the Silvermoon Pack’s territory…

Laila’s POV:

“Laila, your assets…”

Before I could respond to Nita, Holt spoke slowly, “I’ll come collect them personally. Don’t worry. I’m only holding onto them temporarily. I swear.”

Swear?

“Ha.”

I let out a cold laugh. “Can I even trust your word anymore? But whatever. Spending a little money to see your true colors isn’t a loss.”

Besides, I had already taken care of my assets. Even if Holt came for them himself, he wouldn’t get much.

Holt stared at me for a moment, then let out a heavy sigh. “I said 50% means 50%. I do feel a bit guilty for wasting a year of your life, but everything was your own…”

Tobias was so furious his beard was quivering. The next second, he shifted into his wolf form, baring his fangs as he lunged at Elara. But before he could reach her, he collapsed back into human form. He was too old. He could no longer fight in his wolf form.

Tears streamed down his weathered face.

He looked at me. “Laila … Laila … what’s going to become of you…

“It’s our fault. All we ever knew was business. We couldn’t protect you…”

I walked over and took his hand, shaking my head gently. “That’s not true, Mr. Songler. You came all this way for me. That’s more than enough. I’m grateful.”

“No… Laila, that’s not it.” Tobias’s face was ashen with despair. “These black–hearted monsters are only bullying you because your father, your brothers, and your mother’s family are all gone. And us… if our family had even one general, they wouldn’t dare to treat you like this!”

“Hmph!”
