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
xavier♤ Flashback ♤Ever since I challenged my father to a battle for alpha post, I've been locked in the dungeons. It had all been three days.I hadn't had anything to eat for three days and a cup of water once a day. I was chained like a dog and couldn't move.So here I was on my knees and all I could do was wait. My knees hurt from this position, but I didn't show it. My father could come back at any time and he shouldn't look at me for a second that I was in pain.First, because I didn't begrudge him the sight. It would please him and I didn't want to give him that. Second, since he saw it as a weakness.At least the silver chains didn't bother me anymore. My body was immune to this, and it made all the torture methods much easier for me. However, there was a downside that it made my father angry.The madness would soon be over. I would defeat my father and this pack would finally be rid of him. I would end this horrific dictatorship.I may be weak, but years of pent up anger and
layla"Layla!"I grumbled because it annoyed me. Who yelled at me when I wanted to sleep? Actually had already slept. It was annoying and a lot."Layla! Wake up!"So that was obtrusive now. Confused and sleepy, I asked, "What is it, Lilia? I want to sleep." Did my wolf have no sense of time? It was the middle of the night and after the ordeal of the heat I needed rest.She yelled at me, "Your mate's turning the wheel, that's what's going on!" And that brought me to reality and made me wide awake. Spin the wheel? That couldn't mean anything good.Just as I was about to sit up, Xavier's grip on me tightened. As nice as it was when we cuddled, but right now he was holding me unintentionally. That probably didn't fall into the category of cuddling anymore.Upset, I asked Lilia, "What did he do? What did I miss?" "Xander's presence is pretty dominant and Xavier was getting more and more restless. Something is up and now fight back!"It's a wonder she even told me that. If his tension was t
I wanted to snatch my wrist from Xavier, but he wouldn't let me. I would soon blow up if he kept forcing me to do something against my will. The attempt to tag me earlier also belonged on this list.I snapped at him, "Let go of me!" This scenario looked damn familiar to me. Lilia couldn't help but comment: "It hasn't even been an hour since you last said that to him." "No, what you don't say. No, Lilia, I would never have noticed." It probably wasn't okay that I took my mood out on her, but that had to come out.Lilia didn't come to an answer as Xavier asked, "Why are you of all people angry now?" No, that was enough. Apparently someone had to tell him exactly where the error was."Me of all people? I have every damn right to be angry. You wanted to complete our bond when I was asleep and didn't want it. You would have done it anyway. I had to bolt through the balcony and now you're angry because I I did that. It was just to escape from you."Could that get into his head? Was that so
I don't know how long, but for a certain amount of time we just looked at each other.His gaze was incredibly angry and the black eyes underlined that twice. The vein on his forehead stood out and I was pretty sure I didn't want to know what Xavier was thinking.My gaze slowly went in the fearful direction. I didn't feel good at the sight. There was this inner need to run away. However, my feet had a different opinion and were stuck. Rather, my whole body was immobilized.Lilia chimed in, "Well, you brought that shit on yourself. You pissed him off." "Thanks, Lilia. But I realize that myself. What do we do now?"Should I say something first? Should I keep quiet? Am I supposed to run away? Or should I stop?"How about you kissing him? Let's spice things up and complete the mate band. That would be a great idea, Layla.""You know what would be a great idea too?" She gave an annoyed groan and asked, "I'm supposed to shut up, right?" "If that's your only idea, then yes. Check him out. I'm
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
