My Alpha Wants Two Lunas? I'M Done (Laila and Holt) novel Chapter 318

Samuel personally escorted Laila home. Along the way, the distance between them remained neither too close nor too far.

Viola found it rather strange. Back at the Thunder Pack earlier, the two of them had worked together flawlessly. They had even looked fairly intimate. But now, for some reason, the atmosphere between them felt awkward.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly grabbed Stick, who had been chattering nonstop beside Laila. “Come here. I need to tell you something.”

Stick blinked. “Then just say it. It’s not like Laila can’t hear…”

Viola’s face darkened instantly. What an idiot.

Too lazy to explain, she grabbed his ear and dragged him away.

“I told you to come over here, so come over here. Why are you talking so much?”

“Ouch, easy…”

Stick did not resist at all and simply let himself be dragged away by the ear.

Samuel glanced at them briefly before immediately walking over to Laila’s side.

Laila looked at him as well, but neither of them spoke.

Her mind was still occupied with Lillian’s situation. She could not help wondering whether all love stories inevitably ended badly.

Before getting married, Lillian had once told her that she had found a wonderful mate, someone who truly loved her and treated her well.

But how long had it even been since the wedding? And already things had ended up like this.

Combined with Holt’s betrayal in her own past, it left Laila feeling that love itself was nothing more than an illusion.

Perhaps it was merely a fleeting surge of hormones, beautiful and brief like fireworks.

Silence settled between them once more.

Finally, Samuel took the initiative to break it. “On Morgana’s birthday, something urgent suddenly came up, so I wasn’t home. That’s why I missed it.”

“Oh.”

Laila nodded lightly. She had already guessed as much. Otherwise, he would never have been absent.

Still, the scent of mating had lingered in his bedroom that day.

Her brows furrowed slightly as she reminded him, “Someone went into your bedroom that day. A man and a woman.”

Samuel paused for a moment before understanding dawned on him. “I’ll have someone investigate it.”

Laila gave a quiet nod. “Mm.”

After that, silence fell between them again.

Samuel studied Laila’s profile quietly. Her expression remained distant and cold, clearly showing she had little desire to talk right now.

Perhaps Lillian’s suffering had stirred up painful memories from her own past.

After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly reached out and took hold of her hand. He said softly, “Don’t worry, I’m absolutely loyal when it comes to marriage.”

Laila froze for a brief second before realizing what he meant.

Something in her heart stirred faintly, but her expression remained calm and detached. “Samuel, we’re different from them. You don’t need to make promises about loyalty.

“We’re together because each of us gets something we need. I won’t place unreasonable expectations on you.”

More importantly, she would keep her own heart under control.

To love someone too deeply meant losing yourself. She never wanted to become that kind of

person.

But Samuel’s expression immediately turned serious. “No, Laila. You can expect more from

He nearly confessed that he had liked her for many years already. But he was afraid. Afraid that if he said it out loud, he might scare her away.

In the end, he merely pressed his lips together before saying solemnly, “You can trust me. I would never betray you.”

Samuel spoke with absolute sincerity. But Laila could tell he was hiding something.

She did not press him for answers. She simply nodded. “Alright.”

She neither said she believed him nor said she didn’t.

Once they arrived at the entrance of the den, the group parted ways.

As reluctant as he was to leave, it was already late at night. Entering her home as a guest now would only damage Laila’s reputation.

Before departing, Samuel glanced toward the house to the left of Laila’s den. To this day, he still could not uncover any information about the person who had purchased that property.

In the entire Rydar Kingdom, the number of people capable of hiding themselves so completely was exceedingly small. Could it be…?

Samuel’s eyes tightened slightly. No. It couldn’t be him. And it absolutely must not be him.
