The next morning I woke up to wonderful sparks. The man who was known as the cruel alpha and we were cuddling up in bed. A scenario that was hard to imagine.Xavier had one arm wrapped tightly around me and I felt completely safe with that. Well, his presence alone would be enough for that. But it also made me feel safe. That was a nice feeling and I would love to wake up like this every morning. Only that was an impossibility with his job.Yesterday evening it got later and I didn't see Xavier anymore. Something must have come up, which is why I was already asleep when he got home. At least he had snuggled up to me, which made me very happy. It was a small token of love and indicated that everything was fine between us. The rest may be a mess, but things went well between us. Not everything was clarified and the alliance was not complete, but in the last few days that was no wonder.It reminded me of my mum being in the hospital wing. Luckily she was better yesterday. That certainly
My dad let out a low growl and thanks to his words I was primed for his next move. So I managed to catch his hand. With his strength I probably wouldn't have been able to do that for very long, but I had my bodyguards for that.Augustin got hold of my father and tore him from me. Ben pulled me back so there was some distance between my dad and me. He let out another growl and this time I returned it.Since I was in a safe zone, Ben walked over to Augustin and they both held my father. He tried to fight back and get free, but he had no chance. Another growl from him impressed no one.In order not to cause trouble for Augustin and Ben, I kept my distance. I would do them the favor and it would also be more sensible. Besides, my father didn't run away from me, later I could vent my anger. For the perfect punishment, one should give oneself time to think and not act in affect.Now it was me who looked at him with contempt. I crossed my arms and asked, "What did you say?" Well, now I had t
My mum's disappearance raised a lot of questions. Especially since it made no sense. Why, just why?Xavier immediately went off with a couple of men to look for my mum. I was ordered to stay indoors. I hadn't expected anything else given the current situation. I would have loved to have gone along or started the search myself, but I would refrain from doing that. My mum had only recently done this and it hadn't caused her any more than serious injuries. So I would wait around the house and probably go insane soon.I stayed in my mum's hospital room, pacing the room. I was far too restless, I couldn't sit still. It's been like this since Xavier left.Caleb and Samuel were with me and couldn't leave my side. Xavier exaggerated excessively. After all, my father ended up in prison. He couldn't hurt me anymore.With the man, a big question was what exactly would happen to him. No idea. But that didn't matter right now, now it was about my mum.I tried to reach her on Mindlink, but that did
Not much had happened yesterday. Xavier stayed with me and his closeness was good for me. It was exactly what I needed. I fell asleep peacefully cuddled up to him, only this man could do that. After such a chaotic day, it was a miracle I fell asleep at all. In the morning Xavier had to go to fulfill his alpha duties. I had no problem with that, because I had some things to clarify. Xavier couldn't help me there, I had to do it myself.I was currently waiting for my mum to finally answer my call. I sat on the bed and nervously tugged at my shirt, which made absolutely no sense. But I needed something to do as I was nervous. There were a few unexplained things and that would make anyone nervous.Finally she answered and said: "Hello Layla. I'm so sorry that I didn't say goodbye properly. That was not right of me. I hope Xavier has explained everything to you and even more that you can forgive me for that. " She had cycled down that without taking a breath.That put a smile on my face a
The next week passed very quickly. There was a lot to clarify and plan for. All that happened had stirred up a lot and my father was a big problem. It wasn't easy to decide what exactly should happen to him. It's a miracle he was still alive. Xavier was upset because my father wanted to kill me and you couldn't blame him. An alpha and someone wanted to kill their mate, that was the ultimate nightmare.I had not visited my father in the dungeon. Also for what? The man would only make me angry and I could do without that.But today was the day and I would see him again. The last few days he had already had to bathe in his sorrow. I didn't know the details, but I knew that he had suffered. Just because of the silver in his blood.Today would be my father's last. At least that's how Xavier and Jason had sorted it all out. I stayed out of it for the most part. I only noticed something every now and then.You could have done something like this in a public ceremony, but I decided against it
My father's death was difficult for me to understand. It was the same as with my sisters. My consolation in this was my brother, because he felt the same way as I did. I wasn't the only one who had an inner emotional chaos.In the meantime, a few days had passed and things were slowly calming down again, but only slowly.My mum was the worst of all of us. She loses two daughters and her mate. But she said it was a relief with my father. That she was relieved of a great burden. And that basically said everything about the relationship between my father and her. And that was what gave me food for thought. Mates spoke of unconditional love as they completed their bond. But considering my parents. You could never call it unconditional love.My mum, who knew me very well, had practically heard that thought and assured me that it had been that way between her and dad from the start. And she saw in Xavier's eyes how much he loved me. Like is probably the wrong word, we went more in the dire
With Melody at my side, I went down the stairs to the first floor. She wanted to accompany me to the dining room. I was nervous and a lot. In the meantime it was probably clear that Xavier and I did not reject each other. Still, I almost died of nervousness.Melody said softly, "The man is hopelessly addicted to you. So get him." I looked over at her and she gave me a smile. She took my hand and squeezed it lightly. I took a deep breath and answered quietly, "But he's still him. He's just him. You know what I mean." She nodded understandingly and replied: "Yes, your mate. Your mate, whom you adore and he adores you as well. Away with the nervousness and on with the joy." I sighed and we arrived at the bottom of the stairs. We weren't far from the dining room. "But also the cruellest alpha and what other titles the man has." "No, Layla, just no. You're not panicking or getting scared right now. Think less and live in the moment." I took another deep breath and tried to calm down. We
The kiss went on for a while, but eventually we managed to pull ourselves apart. It's a small miracle that we made it at all, given the rush of sparks.It had taken us far too long to find each other. Even when we had promised each other, something had come up again. At times it was maddening.We continued on our way, holding hands. The garden was perfect for a stroll. Xavier couldn't have had a better idea.My nervousness was gone and I could enjoy it.Xavier broke our silence by saying, "We could start a get-to-know-you session." I thought about it for a moment, but the idea was a good one. Today he had a run with good ideas. I nodded and replied, "I'd love to."I looked up at him and Xavier asked me the first question: "How was your first transformation?" I sighed at the thought.The first transformation was always very painful, which was no wonder. After all, it was the first time your bones broke until you were in your wolf form. The whole thing was made more painful as it took a
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
