Tailoring was a dream and I loved it. My future new personal sanctuary.I would have stayed and started sewing or designing, but I had my phone back. Which meant I wanted to call my folks at home first.After all, I had just choked off my mum and hadn't even called my brother or Finns yet.So the tailoring had to wait for me. family came first.I dismissed Melody for the day and she could understand me.Who couldn't understand that either?I was in my room now, my cell phone in my hand. Who should I call first? Finn's or my brother?Well, my mum must have let my brother know long ago. Probably Finn's as well, but I preferred to play it safe. I would call him first.My mum had called a couple of times, but she'd be fine if I dealt with the other two first.I looked up Finns in my contacts and dialed his number. The hooting began and the wait felt like an eternity.Finally he answered and sounded enthusiastic: "Layla! You're still alive! Hallelujah!" He had made me laugh with that and h
One week. A whole agonizing week had passed since I last saw Xavier. Withdrawal from mate. Painful was the best way to do it. Lilia spun anyway. After all, since the day before yesterday it had become very quiet. She had isolated herself. Which was fine with me. Finally, at least she wasn't stressing me anymore. I stressed myself enough already.I spent most of my days with Melody. Not to forget Frank at the food. Otherwise I was mainly in my tailor shop. That was a very good pastime. I loved it and it was a dream come true for me.I mainly tailored for me and Melody. For who else? Sure, there was also Sarafine, but I hadn't seen them for a while. Next time I would definitely ask her. Thanks to my cell phone, I was in regular contact with the Finns, my mum and my brother. That brightened my days. I just felt this constant emptiness without Xavier. I would soon go crazy if this continued. I was just in the tailor's shop sewing a dress. Melody sat on the chair in front of the desk an
Xavier missed me? Did he really say that? I must have misheard.I stupidly asked, "What?" It came out very quietly. I could hardly believe his words. Xavier pulled me to him and this closeness bothered me. Its smell was divine."I said I missed you and very much."He didn't sound like he was lying. I tried to read the expression on his face to see if it was the truth. However, that was difficult to see. The man didn't like to show anything. Except for anger, of course, which you recognized immediately.Lilia said, "Layla, he's really serious. That's not a lie. Why would Xavier even lie? What would that get him?" Good questions. Still, I had my doubts and replied, "I just find it strange that he's suddenly friendly and nice."I heard Lilia sigh, but got no answer. Either she agreed with me or she understood me. It was probably both.I couldn't think of a fair answer for Xavier. I had missed him just as much. I just didn't feel the need to tell him that. Why should I?"Come on, don't be
Yesterday evening with Xavier had been really nice. I never thought I would ever say that. This evening fell into the romantic category. It would be clear that my mate could be a romantic if he wanted to.I hardly got any sleep that night. There was too much to think about. My head just wouldn't shut up. Why did it have to be so complicated? Couldn't it have been like this from the start? That Xavier was nice to me. But no, it had to be a mess in every way.Still, I was naturally drawn to him, thanks to the bond I couldn't do anything about it. When I was fully dressed and ready for the day in the morning, Melody still wasn't here. Usually she picked me up. I couldn't stand it in this room and I was dying to see Xavier. Lilia said, "Not just you, Layla. Not just you. Last night was really nice." I sighed and replied, "Yes, I know. Still, we must not give in so easily." "I agree with you. Nevertheless, we should also accommodate him." Another sigh from me, but I couldn't get around t
"Finns, you really are here." It had to be said again because this overwhelming joy was in me. He nodded and grinned back: "You were right, by the way. It's not a house, more like a castle or something." We both laughed and followed the alpha into the dining room.Xavier and I sat in our usual places and Finns with Marie across from me. So everyone had found their place, but basically I was just focused on our visit.Xavier asked the two of them: "I hope the trip wasn't too unpleasant?" Marie didn't dare to say anything, you could see that she was intimidated. Finn's was certainly the same, but you didn't notice it quite so much.It was Finns who answered: "No, everything went well. Marie wanted to get out of our nest anyway."I could understand that only too well. It felt good to be able to see something different. Although it was questionable how great it was when you came home to Xavier of all people.Curiosity burning inside me, I asked, "So? What did I miss?" We had just gotten o
A worrying bang was heard.A wall had probably had to endure Xavier's anger. It was surprising that it didn't hurt him.I got up and said, "Stay here, I'll check on him." Finns asked in horror, "Are you insane Layla? Stay here the Alpha is obviously beside himself with anger." I shook my head, waved it off and replied, "No, I'd better go after him."Marie nodded and looked at Finns. "Layla is his mate. He won't hurt her no matter how angry the Alpha is." I could tell from her voice that she was serious. I wasn't so sure about that. However, I was worried, which is why I wanted to check on him.Lilia said: "In addition, mates work wonders and improve any bad mood. At the latest with the sparks it should work." I didn't necessarily have to answer that. It would just be another one of those unnecessary discussions between us.I nodded to them both and they both looked a bit disturbed.Understandable, who would like to experience the most powerful alpha in this state.I walked to the door
I shot up screaming in the middle of the night. A cruel nightmare had visited me. The night before we were talking about the worst experience of my life and it played back to me in the form of a nightmare.It was pure torture, the fear chased me through my whole body and I was paralyzed. This feeling would probably never let me go and pursued me. One experience and it continued to torture you. Then I heard footsteps in my room, I immediately went on alert, someone was in my room. First trauma from the nightmare and now someone was here. I immediately grabbed the bedside lamp and violently ripped the plug out of the socket. I needed a gun and it was just within my reach. I never gave up without a fight.The adrenaline rushed through my veins and I prepared to attack. Running would also be an option, but I'd try a fight first. The footsteps were far too close.Stretching out the bedside lamp in front of me, I scanned the darkness and recognized the unwanted visitor.xavierHe chuckled
The next morning I woke up and the first thing I looked at was the other side of the bed, but Xavier was no longer with me. To be sure, I saw the round in the room, but he wasn't here.I was a bit disappointed, but I shouldn't have expected anything else. The man was busy as the alpha of a large pack. The question then arose as to whether I had just imagined it all. A crazy dream that after my nightmare it had turned into a beautiful one. That was definitely a possibility.I grabbed the pillow next to me and smelled it. No, that had been real. It smelled like Xavier. He had definitely slept in my bed. With a smile I got up and walked over to the bathroom. Xavier really stood by me. Strange but true.Another reason for my smile was Finns and Marie. This surprise was the best Xavier could have given me. Didn't the man actually have a heart?~~~So I spent the next few days with Finns and Marie. I showed them my tailor shop and we spent a lot in the garden. I wasn't allowed to leave the
