I shot up screaming in the middle of the night. A cruel nightmare had visited me. The night before we were talking about the worst experience of my life and it played back to me in the form of a nightmare.It was pure torture, the fear chased me through my whole body and I was paralyzed. This feeling would probably never let me go and pursued me. One experience and it continued to torture you. Then I heard footsteps in my room, I immediately went on alert, someone was in my room. First trauma from the nightmare and now someone was here. I immediately grabbed the bedside lamp and violently ripped the plug out of the socket. I needed a gun and it was just within my reach. I never gave up without a fight.The adrenaline rushed through my veins and I prepared to attack. Running would also be an option, but I'd try a fight first. The footsteps were far too close.Stretching out the bedside lamp in front of me, I scanned the darkness and recognized the unwanted visitor.xavierHe chuckled
The next morning I woke up and the first thing I looked at was the other side of the bed, but Xavier was no longer with me. To be sure, I saw the round in the room, but he wasn't here.I was a bit disappointed, but I shouldn't have expected anything else. The man was busy as the alpha of a large pack. The question then arose as to whether I had just imagined it all. A crazy dream that after my nightmare it had turned into a beautiful one. That was definitely a possibility.I grabbed the pillow next to me and smelled it. No, that had been real. It smelled like Xavier. He had definitely slept in my bed. With a smile I got up and walked over to the bathroom. Xavier really stood by me. Strange but true.Another reason for my smile was Finns and Marie. This surprise was the best Xavier could have given me. Didn't the man actually have a heart?~~~So I spent the next few days with Finns and Marie. I showed them my tailor shop and we spent a lot in the garden. I wasn't allowed to leave the
The fresh air did me good and I could breathe properly again. I sat down on the top step to the garden and looked straight ahead. It was a beautiful sight, even in the dark. There were a few lanterns set up to light the way. It wasn't completely dark out here.I wiped the tears from my cheeks, which was useless as more tears made their way down again. I sniffed once, but the disappointment and sadness were too great. My howling wasn't going to end anytime soon.My father had planned this for a long time with my sale, rather my giving away. Three months earlier and talking to Xavier to make him do it at all. How could I have thought for one second that it had been different?My father thought Xavier was the cruelest man on the planet, and yet it was with great urgency that he sold me to him.How could you do that to your own daughter?A sob escaped me, it hurt me badly. It hurt when your father hated you like that.When you think of Xavier. He had thought that I would come voluntarily.
Apparently Xavier was so deep in thought that he hadn't even noticed me. He looked at his glass unhappily, lost in thought. It was a sad sight, my heart felt heavy.I addressed him in a serious tone, "Alpha." Immediately his eyes darted to me and he looked very surprised. You couldn't blame him for never expecting to see me again today. Basically neither did I, but when I saw the light I couldn't help it. I was just drawn to him.Xavier didn't answer and looked at me questioningly. So I asked one, "Since when do I have to go up to my room by myself after dinner in this house?"Sitting with him would be too much for today. But escort to my room was more than fine so he would know all hope was not lost. And I wanted to tell him that I didn't think he was a monster.At first Xavier just looked at me, but eventually he got up and came to me. His facial expression was difficult to read. I have no idea what was going on in his head.I turned and headed towards the stairs. Certainly he would
The next morning came and I got up in a good mood, if a bit nervous. Who knows how things went with Xavier. But Finns and Marie were still here. Today was her last day, but I would enjoy it.I left my room with a bang and almost ran into Finns, who was standing in front of my room door with his hand raised. Apparently he was about to knock. We both laughed at that and I shook my head. "Finns, that's what I call timing. What's up?" Actually, I had thought that we would see each other at breakfast. But yes, here stood my best friend. He sighed and replied: "Marie has been homesick, actually for two days, but she could stand it. But that's why I'd like to leave earlier today." In response, I nodded understandingly and it was meant that way.It was a pity, but I could understand them both. He added: "The reason I'm talking to you beforehand is that Marie would certainly say no. She would stay here that day, but I know what a struggle she has." I gave him a smile and replied: "Don't worry
After the Finns and Marie had left, I went to my room. I had to get myself together first.After a shower I was halfway normal and afterwards my beloved tailoring lifted my spirits.I was just hanging my latest creation on the clothes rail when someone knocked. I had to smile because it must have been Melody. I shouted, "You can come in, Melody!" Kind of her to want to join me.The door opened and I looked over. A little horrified, I said, "Alpha." It doesn't matter who, but I didn't expect him. I had to get used to the fact that the man knocked on the door.Xavier looked serious and replied: "Luna." But no sooner had he said that than a slight smile played on his lips. I didn't quite understand his answer. Did he seriously call me Luna?The others had already done so. But then he addressed it to me. That was a completely different house number. Then he did it so confidently. Nothing was settled between us, but he still called me Luna. That was a daring move of his.I couldn't think o
Lilia brought me back to reality with her question. We were barely in wolf form and we were cuddling. In human form and it was... yes... just how it was between us.So I took a step back and looked at the floor. What had I done? I immediately softened and made it easy for him. Looking down was not brave behavior, so I looked the way we had come.Running home would be the most sensible solution. I took two steps in that direction and turned to Xavier. He must have understood my hint.Xavier caught up with me and I started running. He walked next to me with no problem. We should get home quickly and put some distance between us again.The worrying thing about this situation was that I had started it. It was me who had started this cuddling.Lilia laughed and said: "Do what you want, but you can't avoid the mate band. Every day the bond gets deeper and you should know that. Every day it gets harder to refuse him." I growled at her in response. I knew all of that myself. She continued, "W
xavierThe run with Layla went very well. Only the after that had been bad. As soon as we were in human form, she acted strangely. Layla had been dismissive and barely looked at me.A step forward followed by another step backwards. The whole thing was frustrating.Xander answered, "So? Whose fault is it?" "I realize that. That question was unnecessary." He growled, which I gladly returned.I knew it was my fault. But I couldn't change the past, no matter how much I wanted to. At least Layla had stopped trying to reject me. Not that I would let it go, but it still hurts and it hurts a lot.I was now sitting behind my desk in the office. Actually, I would have enough work, but I wasn't concentrating. I was concerned about Layla. All day she was on my mind.Xander asked, "How about we strike up a conversation? You can't work in that state anyway." As if I hadn't had this idea myself long ago.Did he think I was completely underexposed?Annoyed, I replied: "I would have planned that aft
