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
The fresh air did me good and I could breathe properly again. I sat down on the top step to the garden and looked straight ahead. It was a beautiful sight, even in the dark. There were a few lanterns set up to light the way. It wasn't completely dark out here.I wiped the tears from my cheeks, which was useless as more tears made their way down again. I sniffed once, but the disappointment and sadness were too great. My howling wasn't going to end anytime soon.My father had planned this for a long time with my sale, rather my giving away. Three months earlier and talking to Xavier to make him do it at all. How could I have thought for one second that it had been different?My father thought Xavier was the cruelest man on the planet, and yet it was with great urgency that he sold me to him.How could you do that to your own daughter?A sob escaped me, it hurt me badly. It hurt when your father hated you like that.When you think of Xavier. He had thought that I would come voluntarily.
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
