The next morning I didn't dare leave Xavier's side. I was concerned that he was still out for murder. So it was better if I stayed close to him.With my mate this thought was justified. He didn't always have his temper under control. I played it safe by staying close to him.Stacy and Ryan deserved their punishment, of course, but let Jason take care of that. He was the alpha and knew what to do. We shouldn't get involved any further. Stacy may have attacked me, but I handled it well. I had not been harmed. So Xavier didn't have to take vigilante justice and could keep his feet still. As difficult as that was probably for him, he should still pull himself together. Jason came home late in the morning and I was curious to see what the verdict was for the two of them. I had already asked my mum and Ana about it, but they didn't know much themselves. So we had waited for Jason's homecoming to finally know the details. We were all gathered in the living room when you heard the front
A week had passed since we came home. It was a stressful time as Melody and I were in the process of planning a massive wedding. There was so much to do.I was sitting in my tailor shop trying to design a wedding dress. It was definitely a lot of work, but I wanted to do it myself.I also liked to sew and it was more personal when I did it myself.I was on the third draft and so far I've been happy with the possible choices. I made progress and the results were impressive.My work was interrupted by the door opening. "Marriage!" I looked in the direction the voice was coming from and a grinning Melody walked into the tailor shop.I nodded and replied, "Yes, wedding. I'm still designing a dress."She closed the door behind her and came towards me. "How far are you?" With a smile, I replied, "I'm definitely making progress."Melody sat down on the desk and I handed her the two finished drawings. She took it and smiled the same when she looked at it.I commented, "Well, I like them a lot
It took me a moment to be able to react. mateShe had found her mate.Not only that, no, apparently he was supposed to be a psychopath.How would she know? The...The brainwave hit me. The alpha, Elias, his reputation wasn't exactly the best. But hope was not lost. Maybe he was good after all and the rumors were pure rubbish.How did you say it so beautifully? Hope dies last. I would stick with that until we knew more. I cleared my throat and walked towards Melody. She gave a picture of pure desperation. It was a sight not to behold once the other party had found their own mate. I felt sorry for her and I could empathize very well. "Melody, what exactly happened? Did Elias react or did you talk?"She looked at me confused and asked: "Elias? Huh? Goddess, he's not." Now she grimaced and she said, "His beta is my mate."Oh yeah. Good, that made sense too. Elias hadn't come alone. I had to start with damage control, so I started: "The rumors don't have to be true, Melody. It's possib
I thought it was way too cute that there was certainly jealousy behind it. Once he knew Blake was Melody's mate, that would pass."Xavier, I'm on a mission and I need to find out more on behalf of someone else. Jarek is kind enough to do me this favor. As he's right next to him and he's a beta himself, it's perfect."Jarek continued to be involved in the chat and replied, "Sure thing. For our Luna, the pack knows no bounds. Also, Blake is a nice guy. I like talking to him."Men were not usually trusted. But Jarek was talking to the beta and had talked to us about the Mindlink. That was called multitasking at a high level.Xavier asked: "For whom exactly is this supposed to make sense?"In itself it was actually better if the two knew. So we had protectors if Melody needed any. And I was sure that Jarek would try even harder then."Blake is Melody's mate and she asked me to find out more about him."It was quiet for a short time, so no one expected it, not even a little bit. But I was
Blake was well on his way down the stairs, and very quickly. Before I got around to following him, Xavier grabbed my wrist. I looked at him questioningly and I didn't like the look on his face.I knew what was coming now. He didn't want me around since the outside world could be so cruel.I could understand it up to that point, since something might have happened to Melody. But I wanted to help and not stand around stupidly. If I stayed at home there was nothing I could do to help.Before Xavier could say anything, I forestalled him: "No, don't say it. I'll go with you." I said it firmly, but that didn't impress him for a second. I had expected that, but there had been the foolish hope that he would let me go."Layla, I mean well. I don't have a quiet moment when you're around because I'm worried."I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow. "You worry if I have you as a minder? It's not like I'm traveling alone."He looked at me pleadingly and I hated myself for having such an effect on
Xavier and Jarek had been arguing forever about Elias' motives. They didn't get the right result. Hopefully they'll get the answers when they're interrogated.I just got into the hospital wing and was going to see Melody. According to the doctor, everything was fine with her. Still, they wanted to keep Melody there for one night for observation.Her family had sent her back home, so I was on my way to see her. I was really looking forward to it when I could finally take her in my arms.The last few hours had been very nerve-wracking.Of course, Hendrik and Linus followed me. Xavier wouldn't have let me go to the hospital wing otherwise. The situation had calmed down, but my beloved mate preferred to play it safe. As you just knew him.The ground floor had looked pretty battered. Proof that someone was stupid enough to attack our pack.We arrived at Melody's door and Hendrik knocked. It was annoying, at least I could do it myself, but I kept quiet. He was just doing his job and I shoul
The nervousness had long since caught up with me as I was waiting for Xavier in the bedroom. While I was also curious about Blake's decision, my current concern was something else.The Sarafine bombshell meant Xavier was certainly thinking about children himself. So I wanted to talk to him about it again and properly this time. It had been a rather short conversation last time.I felt it was unfair to just start on the pill. So I wanted to talk to him before I did. Then there were a lot fewer points of contention if we had talked about it beforehand.Besides, we were grown up and getting married soon. You should talk about things like that.It had been really nice with Sarafine. We chatted about all sorts of things, but eventually she got too tired. Pregnancy also demands a lot from a body.So we came to the current situation, in which I was pacing up and down the room. I thought about a suitable text, which was difficult.Lilia piped up, "You're only doing it because you think it won
laylaMelody and I were completely immersed in our madness. We tore the previous preparations off the pin board and stored them neatly in a pile. Later we could dispose of them in the same way or do something else with them. In the meantime we had found the tailor shop and I devoted myself to the last details of my dress. It was almost done and I loved it. I outdid myself with that, because it really was my dream dress.Melody kept me company and we continued to discuss the wedding on the side. However, this planning was much simpler. If it was a small celebration, there was a lot less to think about. Not to forget that it was more romantic and personal.I was really looking forward to the wedding and couldn't wait. I was very nervous at the big party. So many things could have gone wrong or I might have done something embarrassing. I could believe that.With the new plan, everything went much more smoothly.I got up from my seat and said, "Let's try and stuff myself in this behemoth
My morning awakening was to a four year old whining, "Dad." I was still half asleep, but already had to laugh a little.I opened my eyes and looked to the other side of the bed. Our little daughter sat on Xavier's chest and lifted one of his eyelids.Of course, that was a good way to wake up your dad on a wonderful Sunday morning.With a smile I said: "Good morning Antonia." She grinned cheekily at me and replied, "Morning mom."Then she turned back to Xavier, who grumbled. She lifted his other eyelid and said, "Wake up daddy."The little thing was way too cute.She had left our door open, so Adele came right in. I sat up, because of course sleep was out of the question.Adele exclaimed enthusiastically: "Good morning!" She came towards us and I greeted her in the same way.Xavier was now just as awake and said sleepily: "Good morning, girls, what a nice awakening." Antonia had to giggle and he had managed to open his eyes by now.Adele climbed onto our bed and sat next to me. I strok
I rushed towards Jason and when I got to him I practically threw myself into his arms. He hugged me tightly and Xavier cleared his throat as a result. That was understandable for me, because it was very likely that he wanted to remind me of the pregnancy, which is why he found firm hugs questionable. For Jason, on the other hand, there shouldn't be a logical explanation.I skillfully ignored my mate and said, "Hi Jason. You have no idea how happy I am that you guys are here." A wide grin automatically found my lips and I felt pure euphoria inside me. He kissed my head and replied, "Me too. Finally I see your new home."Exactly, he didn't know that. Then my brother now knew that I had it good and where exactly I lived. It might be better for his soul if he saw it for himself.Incidentally, I heard Xavier greet Ana and then I heard another clearing of my throat. With a sigh, I let go of my brother and in the mindlink I said to my mate, "Calm down. It's all good."What was he thinking? N
After a while we were snuggled up in bed. We were spooning and Xavier had put a hand on my stomach. It may not be much yet, but it was incredibly nice that he was so happy. It made me feel good about myself and brought me joy.Xavier said: "We should invite your family, then you can tell them personally." I had to smile because that was a very good idea. I wanted to see their faces when they found out. Although a phone call would be fine too. Unfortunately we lived very far away from each other."Yes, that would be great. However, I'd settle for a phone call. Who knows when they'll even have time."He sighed and said: "You can at least ask when they could come over. I'm pretty sure that at least Finnick and Marie could come."He had a good argument there. It was much more difficult with Jason. As an Alpha, he had enough to do. However, he had never visited before. One day he should be able to set it up. After all, even Xavier had made it.I took Xavier's hand from my stomach and kisse
The rest of the wedding party had been beautiful. We had a lot of fun and there wasn't a minute of boredom. How could it even have existed when we were surrounded by our best friends?The wedding dance with Xavier had gone perfectly. The others had also participated afterwards and we had used the garden as a dance floor. It was a bit of a challenge in heels, but I can proudly say I managed it.The wedding cake was exactly what I wanted. In the short time they had managed this very well.The night had been very alcoholic, which is why I had a little trouble remembering in the morning. But luckily the memories came back. It would be a shame if you couldn't remember your own wedding. That would have been the real tragedy.At least the werewolves didn't get headaches with a hangover. We could spare ourselves the pain. Not being human definitely had its perks.I was still in bed with Xavier and we enjoyed the time together. Cuddling with him was always lovely. When he had his arms tightly
Everything had gone according to plan so far, no matter what would come next or go wrong, it wouldn't be dramatic. The most important thing had been the chapel, at least in my opinion.With Xavier at my side, I left the chapel and as soon as we were a few steps from the building, he pulled me to him. I looked up at him in shock and the next moment he kissed me. This time it was a real kiss and not a short one like the one after our wedding.It was the kind of kiss that made you feel love, and it was incredibly beautiful. We didn't drag it out forever because we had guests and the celebration was still to come.As we broke the kiss we looked each other in the eye and Xavier said: "You look really stunning my Luna." With a smile I replied: "My alpha, I have to return the compliment." I heard Melody clapping his hands and saying, "To the newlyweds, we have dinner and a party ahead of us." That's why I had to laugh and looked at her, nobody could miss the wide grin. Sarafine next to her
With the dress it had been a struggle to get me in the car. That had been difficult, but we managed it. With the pile of tulle, it was a real miracle. But the girls and I did our best.According to Melody, the men were at our destination. Apparently they had been able to prepare everything, I was very excited about that. Who knows how much they were able to implement as it was very spontaneous.Melody and I had created the plan for the small wedding, but organizing everything so quickly was a big challenge. I was surprised at what our men had achieved.I stayed quiet for the ride and looked out the side window. Melody and Sarafine talked all the time, but I wasn't really listening. It was probably about the wedding.I was nervous now, but I was just as happy. It was a great experience in life, you were just excited. Don't forget that you only get married once if it's done right.Since Xavier and I were mates, it would probably end well if we both survived. If one died then logically n
