LailaI took longer than necessary to refresh. I didn’t want to go out of the bathroom and face James. I was sure that he was waiting for me outside. I didn’t have time to go through our encounters or analyze them. But my inner wall was high up. I was pushing him away as much as I could. But those bright smiles on his handsome face were all that was left in my mind now that I was alone.I soaked a paper towel in cold water and put it on the back of my neck. Pushing away James and fighting his advances made me tired. As I said – I was a nice and relaxed person. And I’ve never had a playboy on my tail. Usually, I can get rid of any unwanted attention with a few sentences.I dried my neck with another paper towel.I blew out a heavy breath and got myself ready to face James again. I slowly opened the doors just a tiny bit to sneak a peek outside. I wanted to see where he was and what he was doing. Maybe he was talking w
Silently, James came to stand next to me. I could see him in my peripheral vision, but I didn’t acknowledge him. Not even with a glance. He didn’t say anything either. He just stood beside me. I wanted to meet someone interesting. But the one that stuck to me, was someone I didn’t want next to me. Okay, to be honest, I didn't know him. But I didn't have a feeling that a fulfilling conversation was his goal with me.I didn’t converse with him in hopes he would trot off. But I guess he didn’t have a sense that he was disturbing me. Such a b*gger. My skin was covered with goosebumps again. It was such a weird feeling. It made me anxious every single time. I couldn’t explain it. And if I couldn’t explain it, I freaked out about it. And if I was freaking out, I needed to push it away or run away. Either way – I needed it as far from me as possible. But he was a determined guy. I had to give him that. So, even with the awkward silence
James She partly stated, partly questioned the timing of our da...lunch while looking at me. I looked at her face longingly.What a rollercoaster it has been this evening! All night Laila has been my north pole. I kept on rotating back to her. As she left the circle of my relatives my heart just pulled me to follow her. Even if I came out as a creep who was ready to follow her into the bathroom. And though a few pack warriors called me to discuss next week's mission, I couldn't focus much on the topic. I went back to find her. It was not only my nose that led me straight to her. It was like my heart and even all my body and soul were being pulled in her direction.When I stood next to her, I could smell my Alpha on her. That surprised us and sent another wave of jealousy through my body as my wolf growled in my head. I respected our Alpha, but Laila was my mate. I tried to brush it off. But when Lucas came, I didn't hesitate to mindlink him to
LailaI was busy working on Monday. My Sunday passed by quickly as I slept in till noon. Though I tried to distract myself with cooking and some housework, James kept on popping up in my thoughts. I had that nervousness in my stomach while thinking about the upcoming lunch with him. It made me a bit nauseous. Was it that bad warning feeling again? Or was it excitement? But why should I be excited? I was not looking for anything with any guy. My intuition is telling me something for sure.While I typed on my laptop, I noticed that James would be there soon. So I started to get ready. I didn't need much to be ready. I dressed in the morning and I was not planning to change. I wore a navy blue dress that reached to my knees. It was one of my typical work dresses. I just needed to put on my coat and black ankle boots and take my gray bag. I didn't need anything else. Right? I search my mind for ideas that I might need. I was nervous. F*ck! This is not a da
I looked straight into her blue eyes. My tone was serious. Her face went blank. That moment when she put 2 and 2 together was visible on her face. Her reaction to my confession I didn’t expect. Oh, who am I kidding? I couldn't predict any of her moves, reactions, or things that came out of her mouth. She was so...different. And I guess I started to love it about her. She was unique. -You id*ot! She angrily threw a piece of bread at me that she absentmindedly was nibbling at before. I tried to dodge it. What the hell? I frowned. -Here I was listening to your story and thinking – oh, heartbroken James, after so many years, he found a girl of his dreams. That even sounded romantic! She exclaimed loudly and kept on talking emotionally. - I thought that maybe at last the f*cked-up womanizer would have real relationships. The girl would fill the big hole in his chest. So he will change his ways and will be a faithful husband and father.
LailaYesterday’s lunch with James was nice and interesting. I felt I had relaxed around him more. I was glad to see that there was some depth in the guy. Though I was still surprised that he was a soldier, slash the bodyguard and killed other people. That was some scary sh*t. In my life, stuff like that was only on the screen, not in real life.Today he took me to a burger place. He said that they have vegetarian options. True to his words, I ordered a vegetarian burger to try out. We were sitting at the table and waiting for our food.-So, do you have other adult questions for me?He asked with a small smile. I looked at him and c*cked my head. Today I was in a different mood. In a more playful one. I wanted to tease him.-Okay, Mr. My-D*ck-Knows-All-The-Free-Girls-in-This-City, when did you lose your virginity?I asked with a mischievous smile.JamesI smiled
JamesThe moment she said the word "boyfriend", I saw red. Straight away I had images of a douche who is kissing her, touching her. Were they sleeping together? Probably! I need to kill that guy. How can he touch something that is mine? Mine! I could take a lot of shit from her bratty mouth, but if she thought that I would compete with a meek human over her heart then she was f*cking delusional.And what does she mean by "maybe"? It was not serious or something? Was she cheating on him? Well, if she is cheating on him with me, then that is a good thing. He is probably a pathetic nobody that doesn’t deserve her. Maybe don't even treat her right. I will worship her every single day. And I will provide for her. I will treat her like a princess. I have means for that and that is what the Moon Goddess has put me here for. To worship this amazing gem that I recently found. But I still couldn’t let her have a boyfriend while I tried to win her hea
James The next day, I came early. I got out of the car and went to wait at the front door. I bought a dozen yellow roses for her as an apology for my behavior. She came out and slightly jumped when she noticed me. I guess she didn’t expect me to stand there.-Oh, you are here.She said surprised.-Hey! This is for you.I stretched out my hand towards her. She frowned.-As an apology for my …outburst.She looked at me for a while. What was going on in her little head now?-Okay. I accept your apology.She said at last and took the flowers. Good.-Well, then I'll quickly run up and put them in a vase. Then I'm coming.She added.- Sure. I'll wait for you in the car.I replied. She hummed back at me and disappeared behind the door. Should I have gone upstairs with her? I started to consider. Well, next time maybe. I should know which fl
- I could say something nice to most of the people in this room.She retorted back at him equally dissatisfied but still defiant.- Go ahead then!Lucas encouraged her with a hand gesture but slight mockery in his tone. There was a moment of silence from Laila while everyone looked expectantly at her. I was wondering will she back out of the challenge. Then she twisted her body over mine to see Alpha.- I think it is very nice of you to try to be more approachable to your pack members as you join the meals now and hang out with us here. I've heard many good things about that in the halls and the kitchen, wolves are truly happy about it.Laila said very sincerely to Alpha who nodded at her after the compliment. Then she turned to Fay and Lucas.- Fay, thank you for trying so hard to look after me when James is not in the house. I see you as my sweet little sister. I feel that your personality is still a bud, so I hope you will allow yourself to bloom into a beautiful flower and be who
JamesI entered the packhouse and my nose steered me towards the lounge area where my mate's scent came the strongest. As I approached I could already feel her through the bond and my heart squeezed in longing. I pushed through the doors and my focus was only on her. I was genuinely happy to see her as a bright smile shone on my face on its own accord, and my joy increased as Laila's features softened and a bright smile bloomed on her face, meaning she was happy to see me too. I plopped next to her not very satisfied that she was sitting on the same sofa as our unmated Alpha but I didn't make a fuss about it now. Instead, I pulled my mate closer and inhaled her fresh smell deeply until I felt dizzy. I sighed happily and pecked her lips, seeing her eyes shining at me.- Speaking of the devil...I heard Lucas mumble under his breath.- Am I the devil?I asked him back to which he grinned.- Are you gossiping about me?I asked the obvious.- He was prying into our relationship.Laila poin
Laila - Do you like it here? Kate interrupted my train of questions as I studied Fay. - “Here” as in this living room with your group, as in your werewolf community, or as in this city or country? I asked back for clarification. - As in our pack, in this packhouse. She specified. - Well, it feels like I am back in the dorms. It’s okay. I said as I saw that Kate still had questions on her face. - I guess I prefer to live in my place that is separated from everyone. It helps me to recharge and rest better. But it’s ok. I understand the reasons why James chose to put us here, so… What can I do? I’m just a guest here. I explained. - Is that how you feel? Kate asked surprised. - Yes? Was it a different reply than you expected? I chuckled nervously. I can say it again, I hate being fake but seems that people here can't take my honest replies sometimes. - Well, I guess I hoped you would say that you feel great here. Kate said sadly. - Sorry to disappoint. I said quietly. -
LailaSo this was my new life's routine. I ate meals together with the pack members, worked till evening, and then tagged along with Fay, as she came to collect me on days when James was not coming home early, which was almost every day. Most of the time I was silent and just observed and listened to others talking about pack life, their training, and some news as to who improved in sparring or who met his or her mate. Lucas and Kate usually tried to pull me into the conversations but depending on the topic it flowed or it died down.I wasn't used to being nonstop crowded and interacting with so many people all the time, and I could feel it started to strain me. The more tired I got from social interactions, the less I talked, and my answers became more clipped.As we entered the lounge room I rushed to sit in the corner next to Lucas. I was tired of always sitting next to the brooding Ayden. Fay followed me and sat next to me, pressing against my thigh as she didn't want to touch Luc
Laila - So, Laila, what do you do in your free time? Lucas changed the subject drastically, and I was grateful to him for it. I looked at Fay as we smiled, knowing we had this conversation before. On weird but perfect synchronicity, I and Fay said: - Picks fungus. - Play piano. That made Lucas turn to Fay with a frown: - Picks fungus? While at the exact same moment, Ayden turned to me and asked with a frown: - Play piano? And at the end, Fay turned her face away from Lucas to me with a surprised face: - You play piano? The perfect timing of talking made most of the people, sorry, werewolves chuckle, including me. - Wait, start with the fungus. Lucas demanded with a nod of his chin towards me. - It's nothing. In my country, we have a lot of forests, so when late summer slash autumn comes many people go and pick mushrooms. I grew up in the middle of the forest, and as mom still lives there, we do it every year. I said with a shrug. - We know all the best spots for the ch
Laila It was Wednesday evening and I was still typing on my laptop trying to finish the last things so I could wrap up for the day in half an hour or so. I knew James would be gone till late at night on another secret mission of his. I didn't know what I would do later but I didn't want to work extra just because I didn't have a plan for the evening yet. A soft knock surprised me as I looked at the doors. Who was visiting me? Did someone need something from me? It wasn't dinner time yet for Kate to come... - Come in! I shouted from the sofa hoping I left the door open. I saw the door handler bend but the doors didn't open. - Shoo! I cursed and put the laptop on the sofa while hurrying to the door. As I opened it I was surprised to see Fay standing there. - Hey! What a surprise! I said as she waved at me with a soft "Hi!". - Sorry about that! I was working and too lazy to open the door, so I hoped I left them open, but no. Sorry. I rushed to explain to her as she smiled at me
After some time, I felt his fingers opening my folds and his tongue slipped in my v*gina, making me inwardly frown. I felt his tongue coming in and out several times until I propped my body on my elbows and pulled my hips slightly sideways so he couldn't get access. - What are you doing? I asked confused but curious. - I'm tongue f*cking you! What? I saw his white teeth grinning at me as the light from the window hit him. I frowned again. - That's gross. Why would you do that? I asked, concerned. - Gross? No. You are sweet as honey, and I want to pleasure you in any way possible. He replied smiling while brushing his fingers over the erogenous zones on my thighs, making tingling sensations and distracting me. - Well, your tongue is too small and short for me to feel any proper sensation, and as I don't feel comfortable when you just did it, so can you not? When you lick my cl.it is all amazing, I love it. I tried to convince him there was no need for strange experiments. Good
Laila I was asleep until I felt the bed dip and strong arms pulled me by my waist towards a hot and rockhard chest. I sighed inwardly and relaxed. I was relieved that James was here. It wasn't easy to fall asleep on my own in this new room in the strange packhouse. After spending some hours in the library reading random book covers and indulging in a few of them, I came back to the room. I was restless, so I decided to do what I should have done a long time ago. I called my sister and told her about the new circumstances I was living in and how overprotective of my safety James was. She screamed excitedly when I confessed I was together with James. Though she was worried about me living in a close-knit community thinking I got myself involved in some kind of sect. How else could I explain the circumstances? I couldn't tell her about werewolves or the packhouse. I skipped the part about me living with James' family for two weeks because I didn't have a normal reason why I moved again.
Laila - So Alphas are the blue blood of werewolf packs, yes? I asked, changing the subject. - Blue bloods? He questioned the terms I was using. - Yeah, like the royals and kings that used to rule. The title was always passed down to the eldest son or the next one by age if the need arose, and sometimes to the daughter, if she was the only child. It's not even a question of whether the person's slash werewolf's personality or character is suitable to rule, to be the leader. It's just a birthright. I question the system again. - Yes, it is like but for us it is due to genetic abilities. Unfortunately, you are right, because there are some shitty Alphas who are everything but good leaders. Ayden supplied his answer seriously. - So, I should call you 'Your Majesty', huh? I teased him a little bit to lighten the mood. - No. He cuts me off with a dark look. My face softens and a wicked smile blooms at the left corner of my mouth. There is just something when a werewolf tells me "
