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 check on her. I got on her bed and propped my head on my hand and just watched my little angel sleep. "Are you planning to watch me all morning." I laughed so hard my ribs hurt. I was certain she was asleep. "I wouldn't mind watching you all day." I said pulling her closer to me. There was sparks forming all over my body. I kissed her forehead and rushed to the bathroom before I could be tempted to go any farther. I took a cold shower to calm my raging hormones. I came out with a towel wrapped low around my waist. I put on a plain white T-shirt and black jeans before going to take Layla for her pack tour. I knew it would take time but I was great full that we were at least civil. "Are you positive you showered?" I asked a little incredulous. "Yes, I'm sure." she said with a smile. I walked close to her and wrapped my hand around her. I really wanted to lean in for a kiss but I also didn't want to overstep. My goal today will be to get her comfortable around me. I hated that she flinched everytime I lifted my hands. " Well that answers one question." she said but I couldn't even get my brain to function enough to understand the sentence. I led my hand around her waist to her tummy when she turned around in my embrace. it was soon joined by my right hand as they headed to her perky breasts. I was impossibly close to her. I knew she could feel my dick between her ass chicks. My restrain was long forgotten. She was driving me crazy. I picked her up and placed her on top of our dressing table. "I want to kiss you." I said expecting her to say no but instead she moved forward and connected our lips. I wasted no time, I kissed her with an intensity I never thought possible. Her hands on her thigh started moving towards me. She traced a path from my neck down to my torso. Her thumb grazed my dick over the fabric and she stilled. I moved back breaking the kiss. I looked straight into her eyes and then looked at my member. She followed my line of sight before quickly looking at my face again. I let out a light chuckle which caused her to blush even more. " What?" she asked still trying to look away. I took her hand and placed it on my member before circling her fingers around it, well as far around as the fabric allowed. She took in a sharp breath that caused my dick to jerk in her hands. Her eyes shot up to mine at lightning speed. "I'm yours, all yours." I said never breaking eye contact. "Can I? uhhm" she started but seemed reluctant to continue. "You can do whatever you want to you don't need to ask." She traced my length with her finger as if measuring it's size and at this point I was breathy messy. She looked at me then placed my hand on top of hers and asked me to guide her. I started moving her hands on me and it was amazing. After a while I stopped before I could come. I knew that she was doing this because of the mate bond by I couldn't bring myself to care. She could strip me naked right now and wouldn't mind.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'
Ryan's POV I was on my computer the entire time working on recovering the packs money. I was able to, but immediately after I was done I received an email. ( Wow! I'm impressed. I expected you to take longer than that, anyway, I did it to get you to the city. Meet me at Riton's clothing line.) I was a bit sceptical but I still went. The moment I stepped into the shop I scented roses and honey from two sides of the room. ' Mate? ' Black said, more like he was asking rather than stating. I turned and faced Layla and I could see the confusion in her eyes. She kept a straight face and I was impressed by how well she did it. Ronald on the other hand seemed like he didn't notice anything. " What are we doing here again?" Ronald asked seemingly bored. " Let's buy some clothes first. I'm here to meet someone." I said trying to get a glimpse of whoever or whatever the scent belonged to. " Honey, you are gorgeous, let's find something to much your beauty." suddenly a guy came forw
Rome's POV " Let's go home." I said to Ryan as Layla and Leon kept dragging bags of clothes from the dressing room to us. " We have a hotel." Ryan said more as a suggestion than a denial. " Your beta can have it. Leon has a house here, it is big enough for all us." He went stiff for a minute, I guess he was mind linking his beta. I expected to have a hard time convincing them but it was easy. The mate bond did most of the convincing but either way I was greatful they didn't refuse. I never knew the feared Alpha had an obedient side, and it made me proud to know it was only my mates and I. As I was still admiring him Layla and Leon slumped beside me breathing heavily. I had never seen Layla fight but I knew Leon was an amazing fighter, so to see them this exhausted was shocking. Knowing the intensity of the mate bond I knew Ryan wouldn't let Layla be his body guard if she couldn't protect herself. " She could take an entire army with an arm behind her back." Ryan whispered in my
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
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
