I opened my eyes to a dark room. I was lying down in our bed, and Dylan was right next to me. I turned to check the time on the clock and noticed it was 2:30 in the morning.The last thing I remember from last night was sitting on the couch, trying to ignore as Dylan and Blake talked about Alpha Nicolas. I had fallen asleep. I hadn't noticed when Dylan had carried me upstairs.My body was exhausted. It really had been a long day. Instead of fighting the sleep, I just let myself drift off again.The shuffling on the bed caused me to wake up. I sleepily opened my eyes to find a naked Dylan standing next to our bed. Quickly, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.Dylan's chuckle made me open one of my eyes and sneak a peak in his direction."I know you're awake," Dylan said. After saying that, he walked to the restroom and shut the door.My face was warm, probably from the blush that was covering it.When Dylan came out of his shower, I was still laying down in the bed. I was wide

Restricted Chapter(It's the full chapter- just with the scene where they mated that I added.)"Are you okay?" Dylan asked after entering our room. Ever since I received the call from Alpha Nicolas, I had gone upstairs and locked myself in the room."Yeah, I'm fine," I lied. I didn't want to worry Dylan about the call. He already knew that they were going to try and attack us, and he was getting ready. Telling him about the call would be an extra burden that he didn't need at the moment."What have you been up to all day?" Dylan asked, walking up to the bed and sitting down with me- wrapping his arm around my waist. He was hovering over me, his much larger frame easily covering mine. I loved the sense of protection I felt from having him so close to me."I missed you," I said, wanting him to know how hard the day had been without him.Dylan smiled at me genuinely, looking as happy as I felt by having us together."I missed you too. Every moment I was out doing rounds, I only thought

"What else did Alpha Nicolas say?" I asked Blake, still standing between himl and Dylan."He just wants another pack to join him. Even with Jackson's support, both their packs combined are still smaller than Midnight Moon. One more pack would give him the advantage he needs.""Did you agree?" Dylan asked him."I hope your question was a joke," Blake said, looking at Dylan with a frown."In any case, if they want to attack, they will have to do it alone. No one wants to go against Midnight Moon because you have a very strong pack. It's just not worth it," Blake replied.I felt slightly relieved by his words."What does Nicolas think about that?" Dylan asked Blake. He seemed to have let his demanding attitude behind as he spoke."He's not happy, but he thinks he's got a shot. I think someone needs to take over his pack. His obsession with Leila isn't doing his pack any good. And it isn't exactly doing him any favors either," Blake said, taking out his cellphone and looking through it."

***There will be a Rated R version of this chapter in the next upload. It is exactly the same one as this, plus the steamy scenes. There is a short Dylan's POV, but it will say when it comes up. Now, on to reading!***When I woke up the next morning, Dylan was gone.I felt slightly disappointed, until memories of how amazing last night had been took over. I couldn't keep the smile off my lips and the blush out of my face.I sat up on the bed, and heard the shower running. I wanted to go and join him, but I knew he would be busy today.With Blake here, it was probably better to plan on what would happen with Alpha Nicolas, than waste time.As tempted as I felt with wanting to accompany him in the shower, I decided to get up and search for clothes.I would go and shower in another room.I felt the warm spray of the shower softly hitting my face. It was a nice feeling. I almost didn't leave the shower.Dylan came barging into the bathroom like a mad man. I pulled the curtain to the side

Dylan's POVI had just gotten home after making plans with Blake. Whether Nicolas and Jackson came to attack me or not, Blake and I both agreed that we needed to make sure they knew Leila was never going back with them.Even though Leila didn't say it out loud, I knew she was never actually in peace. She feared Nicolas would come after her. I wanted her to be okay, and not just physically. I didn't want her worried or stressed out.Jace and I walked into my office. I had invited Blake for dinner, knowing Leila would want that."Have you talked to Nicolas?" Jace asked, sitting down on the chair across from my desk."Not yet. The bastard hasn't called me. He knows better than that," I told Jace, shuffling the things on my desk.Work had been piling up, but Jace and I were trying to get everything in order. I didn't like being messy, and all these distractions were slowing me down.I had asked John earlier to help me with most of it, and he'd been doing a great job."Where did Leila go?"
