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
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
