Apparently Xavier was so deep in thought that he hadn't even noticed me. He looked at his glass unhappily, lost in thought. It was a sad sight, my heart felt heavy.I addressed him in a serious tone, "Alpha." Immediately his eyes darted to me and he looked very surprised. You couldn't blame him for never expecting to see me again today. Basically neither did I, but when I saw the light I couldn't help it. I was just drawn to him.Xavier didn't answer and looked at me questioningly. So I asked one, "Since when do I have to go up to my room by myself after dinner in this house?"Sitting with him would be too much for today. But escort to my room was more than fine so he would know all hope was not lost. And I wanted to tell him that I didn't think he was a monster.At first Xavier just looked at me, but eventually he got up and came to me. His facial expression was difficult to read. I have no idea what was going on in his head.I turned and headed towards the stairs. Certainly he would
The next morning came and I got up in a good mood, if a bit nervous. Who knows how things went with Xavier. But Finns and Marie were still here. Today was her last day, but I would enjoy it.I left my room with a bang and almost ran into Finns, who was standing in front of my room door with his hand raised. Apparently he was about to knock. We both laughed at that and I shook my head. "Finns, that's what I call timing. What's up?" Actually, I had thought that we would see each other at breakfast. But yes, here stood my best friend. He sighed and replied: "Marie has been homesick, actually for two days, but she could stand it. But that's why I'd like to leave earlier today." In response, I nodded understandingly and it was meant that way.It was a pity, but I could understand them both. He added: "The reason I'm talking to you beforehand is that Marie would certainly say no. She would stay here that day, but I know what a struggle she has." I gave him a smile and replied: "Don't worry
After the Finns and Marie had left, I went to my room. I had to get myself together first.After a shower I was halfway normal and afterwards my beloved tailoring lifted my spirits.I was just hanging my latest creation on the clothes rail when someone knocked. I had to smile because it must have been Melody. I shouted, "You can come in, Melody!" Kind of her to want to join me.The door opened and I looked over. A little horrified, I said, "Alpha." It doesn't matter who, but I didn't expect him. I had to get used to the fact that the man knocked on the door.Xavier looked serious and replied: "Luna." But no sooner had he said that than a slight smile played on his lips. I didn't quite understand his answer. Did he seriously call me Luna?The others had already done so. But then he addressed it to me. That was a completely different house number. Then he did it so confidently. Nothing was settled between us, but he still called me Luna. That was a daring move of his.I couldn't think o
Lilia brought me back to reality with her question. We were barely in wolf form and we were cuddling. In human form and it was... yes... just how it was between us.So I took a step back and looked at the floor. What had I done? I immediately softened and made it easy for him. Looking down was not brave behavior, so I looked the way we had come.Running home would be the most sensible solution. I took two steps in that direction and turned to Xavier. He must have understood my hint.Xavier caught up with me and I started running. He walked next to me with no problem. We should get home quickly and put some distance between us again.The worrying thing about this situation was that I had started it. It was me who had started this cuddling.Lilia laughed and said: "Do what you want, but you can't avoid the mate band. Every day the bond gets deeper and you should know that. Every day it gets harder to refuse him." I growled at her in response. I knew all of that myself. She continued, "W
xavierThe run with Layla went very well. Only the after that had been bad. As soon as we were in human form, she acted strangely. Layla had been dismissive and barely looked at me.A step forward followed by another step backwards. The whole thing was frustrating.Xander answered, "So? Whose fault is it?" "I realize that. That question was unnecessary." He growled, which I gladly returned.I knew it was my fault. But I couldn't change the past, no matter how much I wanted to. At least Layla had stopped trying to reject me. Not that I would let it go, but it still hurts and it hurts a lot.I was now sitting behind my desk in the office. Actually, I would have enough work, but I wasn't concentrating. I was concerned about Layla. All day she was on my mind.Xander asked, "How about we strike up a conversation? You can't work in that state anyway." As if I hadn't had this idea myself long ago.Did he think I was completely underexposed?Annoyed, I replied: "I would have planned that aft
laylaI lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I wasn't capable of anything else. Melody chatted with me for a moment, but then she had to go. So I could get lost in my thoughts. There was enough to think about.Lilia was right. Xavier and I should have a real chat. As Lilia said, everyone should throw in their two cents and explain themselves.Only a knock on my door brought life back to me. I sat up and sighed. Theoretically, I could ignore that. There is a high probability that it was Melody and I would prefer to be alone right now. I thought Xavier was unlikely, after all we actually did something today. So why should he be here? Sarafine would also be a possibility, but Melody would be more likely.A second knock, and this time it was much louder. No, that wasn't Melody, the knocking didn't suit her. I would bet on a male knock. My heartbeat accelerated and I dared to get out of bed.That practically had to be Xavier and that made me very nervous. When I got to the door, I put
I would have loved to have complied with Lilia's request, but I couldn't. It certainly wouldn't be appropriate behavior. Lilia would freak out completely, at least I almost did.I closed my eyes and tried to calm down. I didn't want to face her with the pitch-black eyes. Especially if Mai was here, then so was Anastasia. It couldn't be otherwise. The two venomous snakes were practically glued to each other.My mum pulled away from me and I dared to open my eyes. They were darker than usual, but at least not pitch black.Lilia said angrily, "Those two beasts! They want an alpha! What's our mate?! An alpha! They must be making eyes at him, but he's ours! Just us! Nobody else! Nobody touches him!" I had trouble keeping calm myself. Didn't make it any easier with Lilia embroidering like that.I turned to Mai and yes, Anastasia was standing next to her. I was right, both were here. I put on a smile and the two poisonous snakes had one on their face for a long time. I could tell by looking
I entered his room and walked to the middle of the room. I looked around and it was a very large room. In itself the classic bedroom. Large bed, rather very large, no wonder with the giant. A bedside table on each side of the bed. A desk with some papers on it, with a chair in front of it. A chest of drawers and as a bonus I would say the large TV on one wall.It was all in shades of gray and was harmonious. Everything fitted together and it was really a nice room.There were two more doors in the room, so I would guess wardrobe and bathroom. In fact, it was very neat. It is questionable whether he kept it tidy and clean himself or whether it was a cleaning lady. I rather suspected the second.I said, "Really a nice room." I ventured a look over at him and Xavier was watching me. At least his eyes were already on me. So my eyes immediately found his. He smiled and replied, "Thank you." A stunning smile and my heart warmed.I had to shake my head and looked around again. Am I really st
