Not much had happened yesterday. Xavier stayed with me and his closeness was good for me. It was exactly what I needed. I fell asleep peacefully cuddled up to him, only this man could do that. After such a chaotic day, it was a miracle I fell asleep at all. In the morning Xavier had to go to fulfill his alpha duties. I had no problem with that, because I had some things to clarify. Xavier couldn't help me there, I had to do it myself.I was currently waiting for my mum to finally answer my call. I sat on the bed and nervously tugged at my shirt, which made absolutely no sense. But I needed something to do as I was nervous. There were a few unexplained things and that would make anyone nervous.Finally she answered and said: "Hello Layla. I'm so sorry that I didn't say goodbye properly. That was not right of me. I hope Xavier has explained everything to you and even more that you can forgive me for that. " She had cycled down that without taking a breath.That put a smile on my face a

My father's death was difficult for me to understand. It was the same as with my sisters. My consolation in this was my brother, because he felt the same way as I did. I wasn't the only one who had an inner emotional chaos.In the meantime, a few days had passed and things were slowly calming down again, but only slowly.My mum was the worst of all of us. She loses two daughters and her mate. But she said it was a relief with my father. That she was relieved of a great burden. And that basically said everything about the relationship between my father and her. And that was what gave me food for thought. Mates spoke of unconditional love as they completed their bond. But considering my parents. You could never call it unconditional love.My mum, who knew me very well, had practically heard that thought and assured me that it had been that way between her and dad from the start. And she saw in Xavier's eyes how much he loved me. Like is probably the wrong word, we went more in the dire

The kiss went on for a while, but eventually we managed to pull ourselves apart. It's a small miracle that we made it at all, given the rush of sparks.It had taken us far too long to find each other. Even when we had promised each other, something had come up again. At times it was maddening.We continued on our way, holding hands. The garden was perfect for a stroll. Xavier couldn't have had a better idea.My nervousness was gone and I could enjoy it.Xavier broke our silence by saying, "We could start a get-to-know-you session." I thought about it for a moment, but the idea was a good one. Today he had a run with good ideas. I nodded and replied, "I'd love to."I looked up at him and Xavier asked me the first question: "How was your first transformation?" I sighed at the thought.The first transformation was always very painful, which was no wonder. After all, it was the first time your bones broke until you were in your wolf form. The whole thing was made more painful as it took a

As we broke the kiss, I rested my forehead against his. I had successfully calmed down Xavier and it was nice that I of all people had that effect on him. Otherwise, no one could calm him down that quickly, or calm him down at all. You felt like something special.A few questions were still unanswered and right now it would be a good time to talk about them.Depending on the pack, it was different what kind of tasks a Luna had. It depended on the size of a pack. Or how many enemies and allies a pack had. Or how protective the Alpha was. There were several factors.I stayed on his lap but straightened up. In this position I could look at him better and we made eye contact.His eyes were no longer black with anger and his posture was more relaxed than before. Yes, he had found his way back to earth."Have you already thought about what kind of tasks I will have as Luna? It's different in every pack. Yours is even bigger than all the others, so it's definitely going to be different."How

At first I froze at Lilia's words. No, not now. Not right now. Xavier and I wanted to complete the alliance and I wanted to do that without the heat. The heat was not what I had imagined at all.This warmth was uncomfortable, so I pulled back the covers. Nobody could stand that.Moment.xavier I strained my ears, but all I could hear was my heartbeat. So he wasn't here. To be on the safe side, I felt the other side of the bed. To my relief, Xavier really wasn't here. He would smell it immediately and I wanted to avoid that. It would drive him insane and I would struggle with myself soon enough.Step one was getting out of bed. I walked over to the window and threw it open. The fresh air should do me good. It wasn't particularly cold outside, but at least a little cooler than in the room.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. This mild cooling would not help me for long. Something else was needed. I would definitely leave the window open so that the smell of my heat would disappear.
