My Alpha Wants Two Lunas? I'M Done (Laila and Holt) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Banished!

Holt’s POV:

My mother’s episode came on fast, and in the end, I had no choice but to summon a wolf healer from the royal palace to stabilize her condition.

The wolf healer said to me, “Alpha, I’ve treated Mrs. Enclaw before, but my skills are limited. You really need to bring in Dr. Sagewood. Her Snowpetal Pills are the only thing that can truly save your mother’s life. The only reason I can manage her symptoms now is because she’s been taking those pills for a year and still has some of that foundation in her system. But if her episodes become more frequent, there won’t be anything I can do.”

With that, the wolf healer took his leave.

I was furious.

Before summoning him, I had personally gone to request Rowan’s help, but she wouldn’t even see me.

I knew Laila was using this to pressure me into giving up on marrying Maris. It was a despicable move, using my mother’s life as leverage–absolutely vile.

I stormed straight to her courtyard and kicked the door open.

Laila hadn’t gone to bed yet. She was writing at her desk by lamplight. When she saw. frowned and ordered, “Pearl, leave us.”

Once the servant was gone, I fixed my gaze on Laila. “Have Dr. Sagewood here by tomorrow, or else…”

Laila lifted her eyes to meet mine. “Or else what?”

I gritted my teeth. “Or else I’ll have you banished from the Ironclaw Pack! You hear me? Banished! No pack will ever accept you again!”

Laila stared at me steadily. “You want to banish me?”

I looked down at her coldly. “Yes!”

Under the lamplight, Laila’s skin was pale as snow, her beauty breathtaking. Then, suddenly, she smiled. “Fine. Don’t wait until tomorrow. Do it now. Banish me. But first, break the mate bond!”

There wasn’t a trace of panic on her face. If anything, she looked eager.

I couldn’t help but frown. “Drop the act, Laila. The only reason you’re keeping Dr. Sagewood from treating my mom is to blackmail me into not marrying Maris. It’s pathetic.

“If I’d known sooner what a cold–hearted, vicious woman you really are, I never would have made you my Luna. I regret it. I must have been blind.”

“Then break the mate bond, Holt.”

Laila rose to her feet, her stunning face full of mockery. “You think I don’t know the truth? You don’t want to break the bond with me, not because you feel any sense of responsibility toward me, but because the moment you abandon me, your fated mate, those soldiers will lose all respect for you!

“My father and my brothers were once the generals who led them.

“The only reason they follow your command is because you married me!”

I drew a deep breath, staring at her in disbelief.
