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'
The minutes we had waited for the doctor had felt like an eternity. In my condition, every minute was agony.Melody looked relieved and said, "The doctor's here." That relieved not only her, but me as well. Hopefully the madness will end soon.Melody opened the door and in came a young woman. She seemed pretty young to be a doctor. But some people just looked a lot younger than they actually were.She gave us a warm smile and Melody said, "Hi Amber." "Hi you two." But she looked very nice. The warm brown eyes did her a big favor. Her brown hair was tied up in a bun and she was carrying a bag.I gave a little wave and said, "As you probably know, I'm Layla." She nodded and came to me. "Luna, it's a great pleasure to finally meet you. Even if the circumstances could be better." True words, which is why I nodded.She set the bag down by the bathtub and knelt on the floor. "How bad is the pain?" "I keep having strong waves of pain and my skin burns like fire." She nodded and rummaged in h
In the meantime I was in bed with Xavier. Thanks to his presence, I no longer needed ice water. Dressed in one of his shirts, I was snuggled up to him.His smell alone calmed me down incredibly. The sparks were the next plus. It was a great relief that the pain was over.Lilia kept yelling at me. My wolf has reached a new level of madness. But at some point she gave up and pulled back, offended. Wait for her to come back.Xavier kept very quiet. That was probably because he was struggling after all. I don't anymore and I'm thankful for that. After all the pain, it was no wonder I was utterly drained. In addition, the hormone injection had softened it.xavierI can't remember the last time I had to show such self-control. Probably never.It was fascinating what you did for your mate. Still, the smell of the heat was driving me insane. I could understand Layla why she was hiding. That was justified.Since I had been a very bad mate in the beginning, I wanted to make it up to you now. Do
