Layla's POV
"Layla!!!" I could here Karen the head omega banging my door, at first I thought it was a dream until I heard her shrill voice a second time. I jumped only to hit my head on the floor. My seat toppled over sending me straight to the floor. I had been studying for my finals, I must have slept on my desk. I had my final paper today and my birthday the following day. "I'm coming." I yelled pulling my maid uniform over my pajamas and tying my hair in a messy burn. I opened the door and rushed to the pantry thanking my lucky stars she had left. I picked all the ingredients before rushing to the kitchen. I am usually the one in charge of the baking. I once found a recipe book among my belongings and tried a recipe for chocolate cupcakes and that's how I ended up here. I'm not complaining since it got me off toilet duty. I worked as fast as I could, after everything was ready I set them on trays asked Karen to inspect them then went flying into my room for a quick shower before rushing to school. The paper was fairly easy. I collected mine thirty minutes ahead of time then walked slowly back to the pack house. I should have been feeling low, because the library at school was my only escape when everything became overwhelming, and that was now gone but all I could think about was meeting my wolf. At least I'd finally have a friend. I shared a birthday with Lucy a very entitled bitch(sorry, language, but I don't take it back) who thought everyone owed her since the alpha prince had a thing for her. I had never met the alpha prince, and I was very okay with that but tomorrow I'll have to, since I'll be serving at Lucy's party. When I got to the pack house I went straight to my room to change into my maids uniform. Since I was a couple minutes early I decided to rest for a while, and before I knew it I was in slumber land. In my dream I was on a tree sketching. Sketching was a hobby I picked up a while back, usually when I was not busy, I would climb up a tree to avoid being beaten by the other wolves and I'd sketch the people I'd see below. When I was younger I would get a beating from almost everyone except the prince since I never crossed paths with him but I heard he was a spoilt brat. Back to my dream, I was facing a stream and there was a wolf laying there. I covered my scent the entire time. Only alphas were able to do that but I was lucky I could. I guess the moon goddess pitied me and decided to give me a way to hide from my oppressors. The wolf was midnight black with deep blue eyes. As I was almost finishing my sketch, the wolf transformed into the most handsome man I've ever laid eyes on. He was also stark naked and I could clearly see his chest flexing as he stretched. My eyes travelled lower and they soon landed on his member and I let out a silent moan as my panties got damp. As if he could smell my arousal, his eyes shifted to my location as he stopped stretching and I saw his member twitch before I woke up. To my surprise my panties were actually wet when I woke up and I was still horny. I laid back down and pictured him in my head as I led my hand inside my panties to stroke my jewel. I stroked my clit in a circular manner as I pictured him walking towards me, and then I gently inserted a finger inside my hole picturing his dick slamming into me as I rode my fingers till I came letting out a quiet sigh. I stood up, went into the bathroom to clean myself up then checked the time to find I only had ten minutes left. I walked to the pantry got what I need and started baking. I finished and joined the group that was heading to the forest. It was a custom for werewolves in our pack to go into the forest for their first shift. Since my eighteenth birthday was tomorrow and I would have my shift at midnight I went into the forest. It was only me and Lucy undergoing the shift but her entire family was there and her friends. Since I had no one I went far away from them. I had brought a huge bag of chips to keep me company. I found a log and sat on it. It felt like forever but soon I was counting the last five minutes to midnight. As the clock hit the twelve o'clock mark I could feel my bones realigning themselves. Painful is an understatement, it was excruciating. I curled on the ground in a fetal position whimpering. I could hear Lucy's scream from afar. I was trying not to scream in order to avoid attracting attention to myself since I was vulnerable and had no one to protect me. After what felt like forever, I turned into a gigantic silver wolf with one gold eye and one red eye. I have never heard of a silver wolf before and one the size of an alpha too. Red eye meant alpha blood but I did not know what gold meant. Since I was afraid to run on my own in the dark, I turned back to my human form and put on my spare clothing since the one I had reaped and headed back to the pack house.Kayden's POV I woke up at midnight with a jolt, my wolf was really running around in my head causing me a massive headache. "Andy what's up, I'm trying to sleep if you haven't noticed." I half yelled at my wolf. "MATE." He said and just like that I was no longer sleepy, I jumped off my bed put on my shirt getting ready to go to the forest. I knew Lucy and a certain omega would be shifting today. I was so excited thinking Lucy was my mate. As I twisted the door knob I smelt the sweetest scent ever. It smelt like roses and honey. I raced down the steps like a mad man only to come to a screeching halt at the door. In front of me was a gorgeous woman, she had her back turned to me but I didn't need to see her face to know she was gorgeous. She smelled heavenly. As if she suddenly felt my presence, she turned abruptly. The only thing running through my mind was that she was not Lucy. Angered by the fact that I was wrong, I rejected her and ran back upstairs heading to my room. I cl
Layla's POV I got to the pack house and as I was closing the front door,I felt a presence behind me. I turned only to be met by a delicious coffee aroma belonging to a handsome young man. He seemed to be battling within himself concerning something whilst all I could think of was his beautiful brown eyes. My wolf didn't say anything but I could tell he was my mate. "I, Alpha prince Kayden Gordon reject you," he then paused waiting for me to give him my name. The sentence wiped the stupid smile on face off and all I could do was give him my name,"Layla ruiz as my mate and Luna." With a trembling voice and teary eyes I accepted the rejection trying not to fall. It was like my body was getting torn. The pain was excruciating but I held myself together trying my best not to show weakness."I Layla Ruiz accept your rejection as my mate." I then ran to my room my entire body trembling. I lay on my bed crying. My mate was my last hope and I just lost him. I cried for hours untill I no
Ryan's POV Since I entered Alpha Kayden's land my wolf has been on edge. It feels weird calling it Alpha Kayden's land but I'll get used to it, hopefully. "Black pull yourself together, I'm having trouble controlling my aura because of you. What the hell is going on?" I asked my wolf. " I don't know yet, but it's a good and bad feeling. I am in physical pain and yet I'm happy and angry. I am taking the pain so that you can look calm and give our warriors a bit of confidence. They are wound up tight and if they find you a bit weird they will misinterpret it." " And think that something bad is going on and I'm trying to shield them from it. " I finished the sentence for him. " Exactly, so until I find out what, can you be a sweetheart and control yourself. " He said and I could see him flinching as if the pain came in waves. " Let me feel it Black. " I braced myself and he needed no convincing. I couldn't help moving forward, causing my driver to look at me with concern
Ryan's POV When she entered my office her chocolatey scent filled the room. Now that I think of it, it was mixed with roses and a bit of honey but the chocolate was more prominent. There was a bit of Kayden's coffee aroma lingering on her skin. She still wasn't looking at me. I cleared my throat in a vain attempt to get her to look at me. I decided to go along with her decision even though it took every fibre in my body to stay put. Black was also silent. He hadn't said a word since she entered. "Your name please?" I said in my alpha voice. " Layla Kiera Ruiz. " she said with the most beautiful voice I ever heard. That's when Black decided to talk. I was angry with her for having another man's scent but also drawn to her. " Kiera?" he was jumping up and down like a mad man." Mate is legendary. " he said swelling with pride I had taken too long to ask or say anything else and she started fidgeting. Her nervousness was palpable. I didn't like our mate being nervous around us
Ryan's POV I was a tad disappointed when Layla said I couldn't mark her or carry her mark. That was the only thing that was on my mind since I met her. She said she wasn't ready yet I was understanding though or at least I tried to be, because of what I knew about her I knew she didn't trust people easily. I tried to focus on the positive side of things, at least I found her and I'm not going to be a lone wolf like I assumed for too long. Apparently she is connected to every wolf in existence. I don't know how that works but I can feel that she's telling the truth. After everything was settled, we went back into the house and straight to our rooms to get some rest since it was almost dinner time and we've been traveling for the greater part of the day. Thirty minutes after, I took a shower and headed to the dining room for dinner. We mostly talked about our experiences and our likes and dislikes. The morning after, I woke up earlier than she did. I went to her room to chec
Layla's POVI was getting so close to breaking the promise I made to myself. He was right in front of me, his face contorted in pleasure with no trace of the scary intensity I was met with yesterday. I enjoyed the effect I had on him a lot more than I cared to admit. I was ready to give myself to him completely. He was starting to break my defenses and I doubt he even knew it. He gave himself to me no questions asked. I was still engrossed in his beauty, the way his mouth was slightly open, his eyes closed, the way his muscles flexed as he guided my hand along his length only for him to become completely still. After a couple of minutes he placed his head on my shoulder. I let him as he tried to catch his breath. His breath was slowly steadying when we heard o knock on the doorRyan's beta was at his door. I guess it's my door now. It will take some getting used to but I'm okay with it. He was asking about the Luna ceremony and we decided to push it for a month to give me enough time
Layla's POV I took a bite and about two spoon fulls of stew and headed to my room. I knew he was watching me as I made my way to the staircase. I was too focused on him to notice the omega Infront of me. " Was the food not to your liking Luna?" " No. It was really good I just wasn't that hungry." I said to her with a smile. ' I was just hungry for a different kind of meal. ' I told Ryan through our mate link and in the next second I heard his seat scraping the tile as he was getting ready to stand up. ' Don't forget to straighten your shirt. I don't want others eyeing what is mine. ' I said turning to him with a knowing look. He straightened his shirt over his zipper before standing. I know I didn't want to be marked right now but that didn't mean I didn't want to have sex. I spent the better part of our training today convincing myself that seducing my mate wasn't a crime. He is my mate after all, one day I'll bare his mark and his kids, meaning I will eventually have
Ryan's POV It's fashion week in New York and the clothes are to die for. Layla was looking out the window as we drove past shops and boutiques. The look in her eyes made me more confident in my decision to bring her along. She looked like a kid in a candy store. She had to dress like my bodyguard for security purposes. We were not yet ready to announce our relationship, so it worked. The first thing we did after getting to our hotel suit was to asses her fighting skill, since she would have to fight for real like a bodyguard. I taught her everything in my book and she was a fast learner. In two days flat she was qualified to be in the royal army no questions asked. I made sure she could fight with her eyes closed before I could start investigating the breach to our system. Her last test was to fight my bodyguards and she even did it with a blindfold on and she won. I was bursting with pride. She also fought me. We fought for five straight hours with no loosing or winning. I wasn'
