#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
#Chapter183"Are you sore? Are you ok? Did the mark take on me?" Leon rambled as we were cuddled together on the bed. I giggled and beamed up at him.I opened my mind link for the first time in ages, "can you hear me?" I concentrated on Leon. I watched as his eyes brightened, and a huge smile appeared on his face."I love you, beautiful." He answered through the link, gazing down at me.I sighed at his voice in my head. Athena purred and seemed settled too. Completing the bond has made me feel at ease; all the negative thoughts are dulled out by Leon constantly projecting his thoughts and feelings into me.′We got lucky, Ayla.′ Athena sighed."Has your wolf come back fully?" I questioned, peering up at him again.He beamed at me. "He has. He wants to meet you." He replied, smiling."I'd love to meet him. We can go for a run together; I bet he's dying to be let out." I giggled."Right now... He's dying to get his paws on you." He smirked as he rolled me over onto my back."L
#Chapter184"Get the plane ready, we'll be there in half an hour." He grumbled before shoving his phone in his pocket.He placed up my bag and headed out of my front door. "Have a safe flight, love. I'll see you soon," mom whispered, giving me a quick hug.I stepped out of the house and went over to the car. I climbed beside Leon. He didn't speak to me. He looked to make sure I was fastened in. He patted Beta Jace on his shoulder to indicate we were ready.The car roared to life and sped off down the street. I sucked in a breath and glanced at Leon. He has his eyes fixated on the seat in front of him. He doesn't look at me or even holds my hand when I placed it over his.I breathed out but kept my hand over his. I know he's hurting and trying to keep it together. I don't know what to do or say.Sapphire, Wade and Owen are in the car behind us. Sapphire was inconsolable when Leon told her."No... What happened?" She choked."They were near a waterfall, and six rogues cornered th
