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
Xavier held the garden gate open for me and I thanked him for it. I was very surprised by this spontaneous idea of his. After all, he was always trying to practically lock me up, which was understandable with the feral werewolves. But being locked up wasn't exactly exciting. Although, if you think about the last few weeks, there wasn't much boredom.As Xavier closed the gate behind him, I asked, "What about the feral werewolves? I'm surprised you suggested a run." I turned to him and Xavier smiled at me. "Don't worry. The situation has calmed down and we have placed guards in the forest to be on the safe side. Help is never far away."If he was sure, then I would be too. I trusted him and couldn't wait for us to start walking.I nodded and chose a tree to use as a privacy screen. The nice thing about forests, there were enough trees. Once I had chosen one, I went towards it.Lilia said, "Prude, Layla. Just plain prude." "Yeah, shut up." She could say whatever she wanted, but I would
As we broke the kiss, I rested my forehead against his. I had successfully calmed down Xavier and it was nice that I of all people had that effect on him. Otherwise, no one could calm him down that quickly, or calm him down at all. You felt like something special.A few questions were still unanswered and right now it would be a good time to talk about them.Depending on the pack, it was different what kind of tasks a Luna had. It depended on the size of a pack. Or how many enemies and allies a pack had. Or how protective the Alpha was. There were several factors.I stayed on his lap but straightened up. In this position I could look at him better and we made eye contact.His eyes were no longer black with anger and his posture was more relaxed than before. Yes, he had found his way back to earth."Have you already thought about what kind of tasks I will have as Luna? It's different in every pack. Yours is even bigger than all the others, so it's definitely going to be different."How
The next morning I woke up in Xavier's arms, just the way it should be. It was the same position when we fell asleep. Neither of us had moved a millimeter. Our cuddling was also much too wonderful, nobody could break away from each other.I wasn't sure if Xavier was awake, so I had better keep quiet. I wouldn't want to wake him up. He worked so much that sleep couldn't hurt him.But I heard a yawn, which made me smile. So Xavier was awake after all. I said softly, "Good morning." "Good morning." His voice was rough and slightly sleepy, which was rarely male. He squeezed his arms lightly once and I asked, "How did you sleep?" "Very good with you in my arms." My heart leaped and I couldn't help but smile. "And how did you sleep?" "Also very good." Xavier kissed the top of my head which turned my smile into a grin. No one else could give me the feeling he gave me.Xavier said: "I wish I could wake up with you in my arms every single day for the rest of my life." Why did he have to be so
At first I froze at Lilia's words. No, not now. Not right now. Xavier and I wanted to complete the alliance and I wanted to do that without the heat. The heat was not what I had imagined at all.This warmth was uncomfortable, so I pulled back the covers. Nobody could stand that.Moment.xavier I strained my ears, but all I could hear was my heartbeat. So he wasn't here. To be on the safe side, I felt the other side of the bed. To my relief, Xavier really wasn't here. He would smell it immediately and I wanted to avoid that. It would drive him insane and I would struggle with myself soon enough.Step one was getting out of bed. I walked over to the window and threw it open. The fresh air should do me good. It wasn't particularly cold outside, but at least a little cooler than in the room.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. This mild cooling would not help me for long. Something else was needed. I would definitely leave the window open so that the smell of my heat would disappear.
I bathed in cold water for the rest of the night. This kept me a little cooler, but the heat was rising. It was bearable at the moment.I had tied my hair up in a mess, that didn't make it any better. Beads of sweat ran down my face from time to time. Something else was pleasant.I bathed in ice-cold water, but my skin didn't turn blue at all. I didn't have to say more about my current condition. That should explain everything.In the morning there was finally a knock on the bathroom door and I heard Melody's voice: "Layla, please open the door!" With her very much. In addition, she must have had the bucket of ice with her, it couldn't hurt. I got out of the tub and missed the cold water. I would quickly unlock the door and go right back inside.I walked over to the door still in my underwear. I was able to show up in front of Melody in the elevator. But I couldn't bear any more clothing in the rising heat. Melody was a woman too, they should bear the sight.I turned the twist lock a
The thought of Xavier being home made my heart pound. Now it was exactly the scenario I was dreading. As far as I'm concerned, he would have liked to have stayed away longer. I would have had absolutely no problem with that.I couldn't react and was frozen. How should we solve this? No, I didn't know.Melody tried to smile and said, "It's all right, Layla. We'll work it out." She pointed to the carpet beater and said, "We're armed."I couldn't contain it in my panic and snapped at her: "How much does a bloody carpet beater help us?! For Xavier, that's like hitting him with a handkerchief!" I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.Melody stifled a laugh, so I ducked. Perhaps the cold water would calm me down. I had to get back on the ground. I had enough to deal with the heat and the pain.When I came up and looked at Melody, she had composed herself. Either I had been under water for so long or she had caught herself quickly. Maybe it was both.She cleared her throat and said, "I'
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
