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
The conversation went very well. Ana and I had practically talked to death. We didn't get much air. We had too much to tell each other for that. Sure, we could talk on the phone, but seeing someone in person was something else.Jason became friends with Xavier and I was very happy about that. The two seemed to get along well.My mum mostly integrated with Ana and me. The feeling of euphoria stayed with me.In the evening I couldn't wait to see Finns. I was sitting next to Xavier in the car, totally jittery. I would see Finns again soon.That made Xavier laugh and my joy infected him.Arrived in front of the house I was cheeky enough to press the horn. Our arrival could not escape Finns and Marie.I got out and ran to the front door, which was thrown open shortly afterwards. My best friend came out and exclaimed enthusiastically: "Pumpkin!" I called back, "Finns!"As soon as I got to him, a big hug followed. Finns said: "She's still alive. We thank the moon goddess for that.""I'll hav
