Sarafine said goodbye after our conversation, which was more than fine with me. I didn't have to talk about it any longer.I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. There was a lot to think about. Way too much. The thoughts in my head raced. My life had become one big mess.The fear that I would soon have to face Xavier nagged at me. The man could do anything to me. He kept getting angry, so Xavier would find a reason again. And I dreaded it.So I hid in my room for the rest of the day. I didn't want to go out and face reality, it scared me too much for that. Lilia eavesdropped on my thoughts and said, "Layla, you have been chosen by the moon goddess to be the perfect Luna for the most powerful pack. After all, we are Xavier's mate. So you are neither weak nor afraid. We're going out of this now, and we'll do it with our heads held high ." I just couldn't. Lilia was right, we were chosen as Luna, but this was all new and unexpected. In addition, Xavier lived in this house.How
I was frozen at that tone and unable to come up with an answer. An answer I didn't have in the first place.What did I do to him? No, I basically did nothing. I would voluntarily avoid him. It just wasn't possible for me tonight because Xavier asked for my presence, or rather forced me to.His black eyes pierced me and that made this whole situation that much more awkward.Still able to think, Lilia said, "Tell him we're mates. I think he means the mate band." That sounded realistic and was definitely a possibility.I cleared my throat and Lilia had given me a little courage. So I managed to answer quietly, "We're mates, if that's what you mean." Our eye contact continued, but I couldn't quite make out what was going through this man's mind. He made it anything but easy for me.I cleared my throat and dared again: "I basically do nothing, this is the mate band that the moon goddess gave us." Maybe that appeased him and saw that it wasn't my fault.Lilia gushed: "The moon goddess, wh
A whole two weeks went by and I heard absolutely nothing from Xavier. I didn't see him once. I spent most of my days with Melody. Sarafine had stopped by a couple of times and we'd become friends.I've only been here a short time, but had already made two friends. I could be proud of that.The only problem was that I hadn't seen Xavier again. Lilia spun the bike and could hardly stand it. She infected me with that and I felt this restlessness myself.How did Xavier stand it? He had to feel it too. Or was it possible not to feel it? If so, he should give me tips.I had planned to do it today. I would go ahead and see him again. Before I went completely insane and wanted to appease Lilia.I had been awake for two hours waiting for Melody to finally come. I didn't take a step in the estate without her. I avoided unnecessary trouble.Finally the door opened and I shot up from the bed. Melody walked in with a big smile and said, "Good morning Layla." I was too nervous to smile, but I tried
Xavier left his office and I immediately followed him. I practically had to, and my heart was racing even more than before. We would seriously do something together. My physical reaction was forgiven and it was justified.Lilia said, "Oh, that's exciting. I'm so excited." I should put her on a leash and calm her down. Bringing them to reality would be just as sensible. "Let's see how that turns out, Lilia. This man has severe mood swings.""Time with your own mate is always good. You can't find an alternative word for that." But I could, and infinitely many with Xavier. But basically it was my own fault, after all I had asked him. Xavier walked pretty fast, which made me almost run. The problem with short feet, others walked quickly, so I had to start jogging.We exited the house through the front door and Xavier headed for a car.Theoretically I could ask where we were going, but I didn't dare. He may be looking calm at the moment, but I definitely wanted to keep that vibe. We both
When his lips met mine, I immediately felt those wonderful sparks. I kissed back and when I kissed, the sparks were like an explosion. It felt incredible. I automatically returned the kiss. I could never have done otherwise and I wanted that kiss too. Just for the sparks.His lips moved against mine in perfection. Those perfect soft lips against mine. That feeling was incredibly intoxicating. The sparks, I couldn't get enough of it, rather not enough of this man.Xavier didn't seem to see it any differently and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around him and put my arms around his neck. He held me by my thighs and pinned me against a tree with my back. A little tight since he was so boisterous, but I didn't care.The kiss deepened and I laced my fingers in his hair. Best of all, we never stop doing it.Sparks, sparks, just sparks.The kiss had a hint of desperation. It had taken far too long for my mate to finally kiss me. It usually never took that long. We were late sinners then.Bu
The next week was pure agony. I didn't meet Xavier once. He was swallowed up by the ground. The reality was more that he avoided me. As painful as it was to admit it, it certainly was.I spent my days with Melody, otherwise there wasn't much going on. I soon went completely insane in that house. Which is why I wanted to take a risk today.I wasn't sure if it was because I needed to get out before I went insane. Or if it was because I was hoping to get Xavier's attention.The desperation waved wildly, because it would be negative attention. He would most likely react badly to that. But that would at least prove to me that the man at least felt something. Even if it's just anger.I waited for Melody outside my room door because I couldn't wait. Of course, it also depended on her whether my plan was implemented, but I would fix that. Hmm, theoretically I could lie to her too. Although that wouldn't be fair.Finally, I heard footsteps on the stairs, so I hurried over. They were light and
Everything froze inside me and I was no longer able to move. Beside me, Sarafine had stiffened as well.Whether I would survive now was a very good question.Xavier stood in front of me and I didn't dare look at him. He snatched the phone from me and growled deeply.Sarafine cleared her throat and said, "Xavier, calm down. Layla just wanted to call her family. Otherwise they'll be worried."I dared and looked up at him. That face spoke of incredible anger. Exactly the way you never wanted to face him.He turned to Sarafine and asked, "Why are you in town? What were you thinking?" His voice sounded too calm, which is why it triggered a strong unrest in me. That quiet voice didn't go with his facial expression at all. This bomb could go off any second.Lilia was still alive and added her mustard: "Angry or not, the man is rarely attractive anyway. Look at him, no, this sight is divine. And somehow it's hot when he's angry. Don't you think? "I should urgently seek a psychologist for my
My dramatic departure was short-lived. Before I knew it, Xavier grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. He growled and said, "You won't take another step without me." No, enough was enough. Now I would defend myself. I pounded his back and yelled, "Put me down!" That didn't impress him at all, because he carried me on without any problems. "Xavier!"I kept patting his back. Maybe it would do something. A low growl came from him, but that never stopped me. I was far too angry, which I had to let out when I had found the courage to do it. I was turned off, which surprised me a lot. I looked up at Xavier and his eyes were black again or still.He said menacingly, "You do what I tell you now, otherwise there will be consequences. You can't just do what you want. Is it in your head or..."I dared and snapped at him, "I'm not a bloody dog! You have no right to treat me like that!""You're mine! Legally, thanks to the contract and as..." I said assertively, "No. You may have bought me,
