layla♤ Flashback ♤"Where is she?!"My father's loud and angry voice made all my hair stand on end. I knew now that he meant me.How did I know?I dared to address Mai in public today. My two sisters had forbidden me to do that. They didn't want to be seen with me since I was oh so uncool. Mai and Anastasia were too fond of claiming we had nothing to do with each other.That was completely idiotic, after all everyone knew that we were siblings. This made it clear to everyone that we had something to do with each other. Inevitably and not voluntarily, but that's the way it was.A glance at the clock told me that my father came home early. He usually came an hour later. However, I could have answered it myself without looking at the clock. I hadn't wanted to be at home in the evening when he came home.Mai had already said that there would be consequences for me. That meant she was pulling something by her hair and telling our father nonsense about me.Long story short. I was in troubl
I had to sniffle and didn't let Xavier out of my tight hug. The proposal had been incredibly beautiful. The hug was necessary and he returned it. Just not quite as tight as I did. That's probably because I wouldn't survive if he squeezed hard.After clearing my throat, I said, "Thank you." I couldn't get more from my lips. I had to postpone that until later."What are you thanking me for? I have to thank you for being insane enough to want to marry a man like me." A light laugh came from me, which is why a tear dared down my cheek.We hugged for a while before we finally broke apart. I looked up at Xavier and asked, "Did you realize we've already completed the mate tape? You should have known I said yes.""No, you could have said no. You never know what the answer will be. Marriage is a celebration of love. You could have thought I didn't deserve it. The thought would be valid. I have didn't always treat you well."He had far too much self-doubt. But I could follow his logic.Xavier t
Yesterday evening had been really nice. I had enjoyed the time with Xavier and this calm was pleasant. There was no hustle and bustle around us and it was just him and me. It was like a short vacation after all the madness. We badly needed that.In the morning, Xavier had a few calls to make and I didn't blame him. His job took up a lot of time and I could understand it.For me it was the perfect opportunity to bring my family up to date. Actually, I should have done this earlier.I was sitting on our bed with my phone in my hand. First thing I would do is call my mum. Otherwise she would certainly be angry, which I could understand.I dialed her number and waited for her to answer. I had a grin on my face, which of course was real. I couldn't wait to tell her about it.I let it ring until voicemail came. Good, she didn't answer. I had to postpone our conversation to another time. With a sigh, I hung up and checked my phone book.The grin was back on my face quickly when I thought abo
♡ Flashback ♡xavierI didn't know why I did it, but it kept drawing me here. My feet developed a life of their own and I couldn't help it.This woman was a curse. My personal curse.I stopped in front of Layla's door and had an inner struggle. I wanted to leave but couldn't. I should be everywhere but in front of this door of all places. I had to get sensible and not be constantly distracted by her. But my thoughts always revolved around the same person. All day long.laylaShe was on my mind all the time, driving me insane. I could do whatever I wanted, but I couldn't get her out of my mind.The craziest thing was that she kept pulling me towards her. I wanted to be near her and never let her go. That was a big mistake. No one should influence or distract me like that.I should go to my room, get on my bed and sleep. That would be a logical action, and that's what everyone in this house was doing at this hour. Except me, because I was drawn to her.I hated myself for it and didn't
The weekend was over far too quickly. Before I knew it, we were back home.The drive home had gone well and it had been a really nice weekend. Thinking about it brought a smile to your face.When we got home we just got out of the car and Paul came out of the house. It was like he was waiting for us to come home. He probably really had.We all greeted each other and Paul pointed to the suitcases that Xavier had already taken out of the trunk. "Alpha, I'll be happy to take care of that."Say what you wanted, but servants could be handy and made just about anything easier."Thanks, but I'll do it." One thing was certain, I didn't have to carry a suitcase. The reason why I walked towards the house. As an aside, I contacted Melody in Mindlink: "Melody, I'm back."I looked forward to seeing her again. That's why I let her know right away.While it was a pity that the weekend was over, I was looking forward to being back home. When I came here I never thought I would ever end up like this.
After talking to Melody, I found peace in my beloved tailor shop. She had listened to me carefully and contributed her opinion to it.In the end it turned out that we had the same opinion. I could have a small wedding, that was clear. But it wouldn't be an Alpha's marriage to his Luna.We had chatted about it for a long time and the conversation had done me good. It had only been a few days, but I had missed Melody.In my tailor shop, I sat in front of the table and tried on a few designs. I wanted to sew my wedding dress myself.If I could, then I would use it. However, I realized how much work this dress would be. Easy was something else, but I still wanted to do it.I already had an idea and knew roughly what I wanted.I would create several designs and in the end decide which one I would choose. I would listen to Melody's advice as well before sewing began.Of course it was my decision, but a second opinion never hurt.Planning would definitely be fun with her. It would still be e
The next week passed very quickly and no, I didn't get sick. As I had hoped, the rain had done nothing to me. My immune system hadn't let me down. I spent the week making a plan with Melody about the wedding. Not to mention my inauguration or introduction as Luna would be the same celebration.Our only problem was that it would be a huge event and we had no idea where to start. There were far too many points to consider and things to think about.I don't know how it felt for other people planning a wedding, but Melody and I weren't quite in control. But we made progress. We had a floor plan and worked our way forward step by step.The next problem was that I was casually attached to the wedding dress. That had to be done as well. Until now I hadn't decided on a design, which I should soon. It was morning and I was about to leave the bedroom when there was a knock on the door. One thing was certain, it wasn't Xavier. His bedroom was the same, so he wouldn't knock, just step inside.I
Towards the end of the drive I had been very much in my own thoughts. I hadn't noticed much and Xavier had left me in my world of thoughts. Maybe he was even grateful for the rest or he had some things he wanted to think about himself.Only when the car stopped did I really perceive my surroundings again and looked around. Now I would focus on reality. I was able to devote myself to my world of thoughts again later.We parked in front of my brother's house. It was a familiar sight, which made me smile.Usually, the alpha took over the previous alpha's house. But Jason had built his own four walls with Ana.I could understand that very well. There were a lot of bad memories in the old house. Our father had done enough to us. There were too many negative experiences associated with the house.Jason had rightly built something new for himself. It was a very good start for him and Ana. A new home for many new memories to come.I hadn't even asked where Xavier and I were staying, but now 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
