"You can't do that!" I looked at my father full of hatred and I could hear him clearly in my voice. Anger graced me as well, and no one could miss it.He sat in a chair behind his desk and laughed mockingly. He enjoyed having the upper hand and doing me this torment. This man was the pure sadist."You do what I tell you. It's decided and you have no choice. Basically, it's none of your business." I had been standing in the middle of the room and took two steps to be right in front of his desk. That way I could glare at him better, which is why it was more articulate. "It's my business." My voice was still calm, but now I got louder: "It's my life, I can do what I want with it! You have no right to sell me!" With this act he outdid himself. He may be cruel and an incredibly bad father, but that was the height.A hideous smile graced his lips and he said, "You don't even know exactly who the buyer is." Whoever bought another person was scum. You didn't need any details to know it wa
Jason grabbed my father and very abruptly, which is why he let go of my wrist. The next moment my brother slammed him against the nearest wall and put his hand on his throat.He hissed, "You certainly won't send your own daughter to that beast. You're a pathetic alpha if you can't resolve this matter normally." Since he had found a good argument and I turned to the two. Jason's knee-jerk reaction had revived me, so the shock took a back seat. That's when I heard Lilia, my inner wolf, in my head: "Layla, kill that man. If he sends us to Alpha Blackmoon, we can never find our mate or be with him." I had jumped in shock because I had been too much in reality. I had completely forgotten my wolf. Lilia snapped at me, "Layla! Our mate! Action needs to be taken!" oh mateI hadn't thought that far, because all the new information was too much. But she was right, we could never have the perfect man by our side. With that, we were deprived of the possibility of eternal happiness with our s
I arrived at my destination and this was my best friend's home. Since I had often fled to him after a heated argument, whether with my father or one of my two sisters, I had stored my clothes here.They were hidden in a bush big enough for me to hide behind. Because of this, I was able to transform into my human form and have a privacy shield in front of me. I quickly found the trousers and shirt because they were still in the same place where I had left them. I quickly put on my jeans and then the shirt. I hadn't thought of socks, which is why I went barefoot, but I couldn't care less. I had a gigantic other problem. As I walked toward the house, I contacted my best friend through the Mindlink the whole pack was connected to."Finns? I hope you're home." I should have asked that beforehand. In desperation I had completely forgotten about it. I got the answer immediately: "Yes, of course." Apparently I'd managed to keep my voice steady because he didn't sound concerned.I don't kno
I had a very long conversation with Finns. First I told him every detail and then we went through everything possible.In the end we didn't come to a solution that would be helpful.So I had practically ordered him that we should enjoy the evening. If it was my last, I wanted it to be a good one. Nevertheless, this dark cloud had hung over us.I just got home and immediately rushed up the stairs, although I couldn't hear anyone. But if my father was here, I wanted to hide. My previous behavior certainly had an aftermath.I quickly entered my room and closed the door behind me. Only then did I turn on the light and with a sigh. At least I had made it here unscathed.I rolled over and really just wanted to go to bed and deal with this nightmare again tomorrow, but something caught my eye.There was something on my desk that didn't belong there.I walked towards it and it could never have escaped one's notice. It was a bright red piece of paper, presumably so that I would notice it.When
The next morning the rush called packing began. My mum had stayed with me, which was fine with me. If we never saw each other again, these were our final hours.I could barely open an eye, but no human or werewolf could sleep in my position.My head was far too confused, inside I was completely restless. That wasn't particularly surprising, after all, Lilia had also isolated herself. When your own wolf was so absent, you were missing a part.Ten thousand thoughts shot through my head, which is why I didn't have a really clear one. So I tried to concentrate on my current task.Packing was tedious and boring in itself, but a distraction nonetheless.My mum helped me and cleared her throat to get my attention. I looked at her questioningly and she said, "Then we'll find you something nice to wear."She was already rummaging through my closet for a suitable outfit and I just watched her. Basically, I didn't care what I wore.Maybe I got traded if the Alpha thought I was ugly. The idea was
The journey had gone on forever, the driver hadn't spoken to me. The radio wasn't even on. It was crazy.Whoever the man was, he had never introduced himself. He had a cool aura and I never looked at him. Just stare out the side window for hours. That was a really great job. My boredom knew no bounds.When we finally arrived I was so relieved. The driver remained silent and got out. Wonderful, the man was very friendly. An incredibly joyful soul. You had to meet such a nice person first.I got out the same way, grumbling. I was in pain all over and the ride had been torture.I stretched my legs and looked around. What the hell? This wasn't a house, more like an estate or a castle. Well, a powerful alpha had more money than anything else when he had a giant pack.At least I wouldn't starve here. A small consolation in the whole thing, you should try to see everything positively.Two employees approached me. A woman about my age. She had blond hair and brown eyes and looked very friendl
After that, the connection to Lilia was severed, but she too was restless. I couldn't have missed that.Mate? You weren't serious? Where? Or rather who? That was the purest nightmare. I had been sold and this is where I was supposed to meet my mate. My situation got worse instead of better.Hopefully Lilia was wrong and our mate wasn't around. It would be torture if I saw it every day but belonged to another man.Melody stayed with me in my room and helped me unpack. She said that was her job and she was very friendly. We got along pretty well, got to know each other and had a lot of laughs.Finally the question came: "I don't want to offend you, Layla. But why did you agree to this?"She mentioned earlier that Alpha Blackmoon didn't want a mate. This was apparently common knowledge. The man made no secret of it.I didn't even feel uncomfortable with the question, so I answered truthfully, "My father is an alpha from a smaller pack and there are some imbalances between them. Before my
It was a huge house, but I still remembered the way. To get to my room I just had to go into the left wing and the second door on the left. At least that's what I noticed.I hurried down the aisle, quickly wiping away another annoying tear running down my cheek.My mate and that had been our first meeting. Alpha Blackmoon didn't want me, even though I'd dreamed of my mate since I was a little girl. Now I got the cold-blooded man who didn't want me.Was that a bad joke?I didn't really start crying until I was in my room and the door slammed shut behind me.I sat on the floor and let the tears flow. My heart contracted, that was probably lovesickness and it was strong.It would be a cruel pain to be rejected by your mate. He would reject me and that made it a thousand times worse. A wonder he hadn't done it immediately.If I was lucky, I could go home afterwards. With bad luck I was killed or imprisoned. Don't expect too much from a beast.A sob escaped my lips and I clutched my heart.
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
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
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
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
