My Alpha Wants Two Lunas? I'M Done (Laila and Holt) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 The Wolf Healer’s Refusal

Laila’s POV:

“What bill? These bills are all fake!”

Freya suddenly rushed over and tore the bills to shreds, then tossed them into the air with a triumphant smile. “Now that the bills are gone, there’s no need to write an IOU, right?”

I smiled. “No worries. I have copies. I’ll have a servant bring another set over later.”

“You!” Freya was furious, but she was only 15 and hadn’t awakened her wolf yet. There was nothing she could do to me.

All she could do was stomp her feet and shout, “Laila, no wonder the Alpha prefers Maris! Maris would never pull dirty tricks like you. You deserve to be cast aside!”

“Are you done throwing your tantrum, Freya? You have no right to lecture me.” I let out a cold laugh. “Weren’t you the one who said you’d return everything I ever gave you? Then bring it all back before you start running your mouth.”

Freya froze, then lifted her chin stubbornly. “Why should I? Those were gifts. Who ever heard of taking back something you gave away?”

“And who ever heard of accepting someone’s gifts only to turn around and insult th replied icily.

Freya was momentarily speechless, but then she snapped, “Just you wait! I’ll have the Alpha break the mate bond and throw you out!”

“Be my guest!”

I shot back coldly, then turned to Elara, whose face had gone dark with anger. “I’ll have another copy of those bills sent to you later, Mrs. Enclaw.”

With that, I walked away.

I hadn’t gone far when I heard the servants‘ panicked cries from the courtyard.

“Mrs. Enclaw has fainted! Someone fetch Dr. Sagewood!”

Rowan?

She wouldn’t be coming.

A cold smile crossed my lips as I kept walking without missing a step.

Holt’s POV:

Money. I needed money…

I’d spent the whole day going around to friends trying to borrow some, but all I managed to scrape together was 1,000 dollars. That still left me 49,000 short.

When I returned to the den, my brother’s mate, Daphne, rushed over to intercept me. “Holt, this is bad! Dr. Sagewood is refusing to treat your mother!”

I thought it was going to be something serious, but it was just this. I waved my hand dismissively. “There are plenty of good wolf healers near the capital. If Rowan won’t come, just find someone else.”

“It’s not that simple, Holt.”

Daphne’s voice was urgent. “You don’t know this, but your mother’s condition flared up shortly after you left for war last year. Laila brought in many renowned wolf healers, but none of them could help. It wasn’t until Dr. Sagewood came and prescribed her special remedies that your mother’s life was saved and she began to recover. No one else can save her!”

“Then why won’t Dr. Sagewood come now?” I demanded, suddenly alarmed.

“Dr. Sagewood said, ‘The way Mrs. Enclaw has treated Luna Laila is utterly heartless. Treating someone with such poor character would cost me years of my life. I have no intention of dying early.”

“It has to be Laila!” Freya came charging in, shouting. “She must have told Dr. Sagewood not to treat Mom! She’s trying to kill her! Yesterday, after Dr. Sagewood finished treating Mom, I saw her talking with Laila in the hallway!”

Oh, great.

Hearing this, rage surged through me. “She’s trying to use Mom’s life to force me to give up on marrying Maris!”

“Holt, you have to teach Laila a lesson!” Freya yelled. “She’s absolutely vicious!”
