#Chapter175Lila came running into the office and threw herself at me. I knocked into Leon because I wasn't expecting it. "Are you ok? I saw you hurting, and I was scared." She wailed.I bent down a little. I picked her up as she wrapped her legs around my waist and gazed at me. "I'm ok now." I grinned."Promise?" She begged, her voice small and croaky."Promise," I brushed my nose against hers, and she chuckled.My dad used to do that to Owen and me whenever one of us was hurt or upset. I'm not sure why, but it always used to make me feel better... I think it was more of a mind over matter situation, but it helped, and I'm hoping it does the same for Lila."That tickled," She giggled. I did it again, and she laughed, squirming in my arms."My dad used to do it to me and my brother when we were upset," I explained, "It used to make me feel better... Did it help you?" I asked, raising my brow.She nodded her head and beamed at me. "Will you do it all the time when I'm upset?"
#Chapter176We arrived at a private airstrip... So, it's not exactly an airport, but at least it's more than a random field. I chuckled to myself.I climbed out of the car as Leon held the door open for me. A car pulled up behind us. Mila and Mateo appeared from the back seats. Wade, Leon's Beta climbed out the front seat; he waved at us when he saw us. I watched as the passenger door opened and a Brunette she-wolf stepped out.I watched as she grinned, strolling towards me. "I don't think our beloved Alpha has introduced us," she rolled her eyes, "I'm Sapphire, Leon's sister," she greeted. My eyes went wide; I didn't even know he had a sister."Figures he didn't mention me," she chuckled, "I know how shocked you both must have been." She replied, smiling at Leon.She wrapped her arms around my back and pulled me towards her. "Thank you for bringing my brother back to life." She whispered. I tightened my arms around her and sighed. "You don't know how long it's been since I've s
#Chapter177Leon wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me against his chest. "We still have a way to go, so get some sleep." He murmured as he kissed my cheek.I sighed and snuggled into the pillow. "I'm never letting you go. No one will ever hurt you again." He whispered. I sighed contentedly and quickly fell asleep.3"Wake up, Ayla... We're nearly there." Leon shook me gently, placing little kisses on my cheek. I fluttered my eyes open and yawned. "Already? That was the best sleep I've had in ages." I sighed."You slept for eight hours... You obviously needed it," he chuckled. I opened my eyes wide, "eight hours?" I choked."I woke up hours ago," he chuckled."And you've just been sat in here? Waiting for me to wake up?" I asked. He nodded and smiled, "when I said I wasn't letting you, I meant it." He bubbled. "I also wanted to be near you and hold you," he replied. He blushed; a slight pink tint appeared on his cheeks.I grinned, my stomach somersaulting at his words.
#Chapter178Beta Jace met us at the airstrip to accompany us to the pack. I can't focus on anything; I'm too nervous."How have you been, Ayla?" He asked, glancing in the rearview mirror at me."I'm good, thank you." I beamed, "how's Eli?" I questioned."He's ok. He's enjoying going to big school as he calls it," he chuckled. I giggled and nodded.We continued the ride in silence. Leon was quiet; he was staring out of the window. He occasionally looked at me. I reached over and laid my hand in his. He joined our hands together and smiled at me. I breathed out and watched out of the window.As we neared the pack, my heart started beating quickly. My breath caught in my throat, and I struggled to breathe. I could feel the bond with Ethan pushing its way into my system. Leon unbuckled his belt, moving closer to me.3"Ayla, look at me," he urged, holding my head to keep my gaze on him. "Breath, baby," he pleaded. I gasped for breath and clung to his shirt. "We shouldn't have come,
#Chapter179"Your parents are so welcoming." He muttered as we were sat on the sofa in my living room."They like you," I whispered as I watched my parents quarrel about the correct layout for the dinner table."Joe, he's an Alpha. He should be at the head of the table." Mom hissed."Let's ask him." Dad groaned, "Alpha Leon... where would you like to sit?" He smirked."Anywhere is fine. Next to Ayla?" He raised his brow as he answered. Mom's eyes twinkled, and she nodded.The front door opened, and Owen walked in awkwardly with Wade behind him. I smiled at them both. "Mom, dad... This is Wade... My mate," Owen proclaimed.Mom's face lit up as she made her way over to them. "I'm so glad you found your mate." She beamed, pulling him in for a hug. She stepped back and grinned at Wade before pulling him into her. Dad embraced Owen patting his back."Welcome to the family, Wade." I chuckled."Thank you, Luna." He smiled radiantly before covering his hand over his mouth.All eyes
#Chapter180I whimpered and backed away. I knew it was too good to be true. There was no way he would want me.I kept moving until my back hit the wall. I choked back a sob as my back slid down the wall. Leon was straddling Ethan's waist; I could feel the anger radiating off of him."Joseph, grab Leon, get him off." Alpha Miles ordered.My dad grabbed Leon's shoulders and tried pulling him away. But it was no use... Leon had one goal, to destroy Ethan, and no matter what anyone said, he wasn't going to listen.3I couldn't move; I was frozen against the wall. All I could hear was Ethan's words repeating over and over like a broken record.You don't look like a Luna.You're too fat to move.His pack will never accept you.He won't love you."Stop! You're going to kill him!" Luna Emily screamed. Her scream brought me out of my state of shock. She was furious, waving her arms about everywhere."Do you not care? Ethan is your mate!" She yelled at me.3I could see his back musc
#Chapter181I held my hand out in front of me, "take my hand," I whispered.2He gently placed his hand in mine, and I sighed as the tingles erupted through my arm. My body buzzed with pleasure; this is a feeling I can't deny."I lost myself in my head, and I let the negative thoughts take over," I whispered, "I'm sorry for everything I said." I sighed."But... I do want you, Leon." I breathed, "more than anything," I whimpered.1He gripped my hand and tugged me towards him. "I'm in love with you, Ayla. It may be too soon, but fuck, you've consumed me." He sighed.I slammed my lips against his and moaned as he fisted his hand through my hair. He held my head in place as he deepened the kiss. He loves me... I can feel it as he pours everything into this kiss.I'm falling for him; I'm just not there yet. It's like we're reading the same book... He's just a Chapter ahead.I rubbed my hands over his shoulders and chest, stopping at the top of his shirt. I grasped his collar and t
#Chapter182Ethan's POV.2"Ethan, baby. I came as soon as your mum told me," Jasmine hurried into the room. I was back at the packhouse. I needed rest to heal from these wounds. I can't believe she's been blessed with another mate and a fucking Alpha too.There is no chance of me getting her back now... Not that she would come back. I wanted a submissive, quiet little mate, but she's far from it since she's grown up. Ever since we were younger, she would follow me everywhere. I knew she had feelings for me; she wasn't exactly subtle about them.I liked her too... I liked that she would do anything for me. After a while, I did fall in love with her. My friends used to laugh at me at school because she wasn't exactly the skinniest or prettiest she-wolf, but she was sweet.1I wasn't expecting her to grow up into a fucking stunning she-wolf. I couldn't have her thinking she had a chance with anyone else... I needed to break her down so she would stay with me. But my dad had to fucki
