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
Surprisingly, I slept well that night. It was probably because it smelled like Xavier in here. A divine smell and no wonder it smelled like him in here. It was his room and especially his bed I had slept in. He hadn't come home that night, but I hadn't expected that. When it came to the feral werewolves, he sure had a lot to do. Still, I missed him. That damn mate tape was driving me insane. It wasn't long before I completely spun off the bike.Lilia added her two cents: "No, you only turn completely on the wheel when the heat graces us. That will be fun." I growled at her and replied, "No, this isn't going to be fun." "Yes, you're practically going to jump it, and entirely voluntarily. It'll definitely be fun. You'd be doing us a favor by completing the mate band." How could you be like that? My wolf could be really mean. Happy when I wasn't acting rationally anymore. Lilia continued, "If you guys don't complete it beforehand and work things out, then it's only going to be weird.
I had absolutely no desire to talk to Anastasia and Mai. This couldn't end well. Lilia was keen, but no thanks.Mai looked at our mum and said, "Come on, I'll take you to your room. You should relax a bit from the trip." Our mum looked at her seriously and replied, "Mai, I'm a grown woman. I can decide for myself whether I need rest or not."What were my sisters up to? That couldn't mean anything good.Anastasia had come to me and grabbed my hand. She said, "I'm dying for the garden and a walk is just the thing." She pulled me with her and Mai said, "Mum, we mean well. We're not ordering you to..." I missed their conversation as Anastasia had already pulled me out of the dining room and the door behind too much for us.It was obvious the two venomous snakes had something planned.Lilia said, "Listen to what Anastasia has to say. We can always go back to the manor. But for now, we're going to face it. " My wolf was far too curious. But why was I complaining? I was the same. I answered
Lilia growled, "Kill that bitch!" The anger was unmistakable in her voice and I felt the same way. Lilia didn't get an answer because I was in a frenzy.Mai took a step towards Xavier with a big smile on her face. I'd call it a hideous smile, after all, she dedicated it to my mate.Her look, that was the look she always had on when she wanted to wrap a man around her finger. The woman would not breathe much longer. Did she dare to look at my mate like that? Mai said: "Xavier, you shouldn't waste your time with a pathetic woman like Layla. She's not worth it."Lilia wanted to fight her way through, but I wanted to sort that out. I wanted to end this miserable life.Anger overwhelmed me and I saw red. I walked quickly towards the two of them and was out for murder. I let out a menacing growl that had never crossed my lips before. I had never felt this extreme anger either. Jealousy was also part of it and I was no longer in my right mind.Luckily for Xavier, he took a step back and look
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
