The thought of Xavier being home made my heart pound. Now it was exactly the scenario I was dreading. As far as I'm concerned, he would have liked to have stayed away longer. I would have had absolutely no problem with that.I couldn't react and was frozen. How should we solve this? No, I didn't know.Melody tried to smile and said, "It's all right, Layla. We'll work it out." She pointed to the carpet beater and said, "We're armed."I couldn't contain it in my panic and snapped at her: "How much does a bloody carpet beater help us?! For Xavier, that's like hitting him with a handkerchief!" I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.Melody stifled a laugh, so I ducked. Perhaps the cold water would calm me down. I had to get back on the ground. I had enough to deal with the heat and the pain.When I came up and looked at Melody, she had composed herself. Either I had been under water for so long or she had caught herself quickly. Maybe it was both.She cleared her throat and said, "I'

In the meantime I was in bed with Xavier. Thanks to his presence, I no longer needed ice water. Dressed in one of his shirts, I was snuggled up to him.His smell alone calmed me down incredibly. The sparks were the next plus. It was a great relief that the pain was over.Lilia kept yelling at me. My wolf has reached a new level of madness. But at some point she gave up and pulled back, offended. Wait for her to come back.Xavier kept very quiet. That was probably because he was struggling after all. I don't anymore and I'm thankful for that. After all the pain, it was no wonder I was utterly drained. In addition, the hormone injection had softened it.xavierI can't remember the last time I had to show such self-control. Probably never.It was fascinating what you did for your mate. Still, the smell of the heat was driving me insane. I could understand Layla why she was hiding. That was justified.Since I had been a very bad mate in the beginning, I wanted to make it up to you now. Do

layla"Layla!"I grumbled because it annoyed me. Who yelled at me when I wanted to sleep? Actually had already slept. It was annoying and a lot."Layla! Wake up!"So that was obtrusive now. Confused and sleepy, I asked, "What is it, Lilia? I want to sleep." Did my wolf have no sense of time? It was the middle of the night and after the ordeal of the heat I needed rest.She yelled at me, "Your mate's turning the wheel, that's what's going on!" And that brought me to reality and made me wide awake. Spin the wheel? That couldn't mean anything good.Just as I was about to sit up, Xavier's grip on me tightened. As nice as it was when we cuddled, but right now he was holding me unintentionally. That probably didn't fall into the category of cuddling anymore.Upset, I asked Lilia, "What did he do? What did I miss?" "Xander's presence is pretty dominant and Xavier was getting more and more restless. Something is up and now fight back!"It's a wonder she even told me that. If his tension was t

I don't know how long, but for a certain amount of time we just looked at each other.His gaze was incredibly angry and the black eyes underlined that twice. The vein on his forehead stood out and I was pretty sure I didn't want to know what Xavier was thinking.My gaze slowly went in the fearful direction. I didn't feel good at the sight. There was this inner need to run away. However, my feet had a different opinion and were stuck. Rather, my whole body was immobilized.Lilia chimed in, "Well, you brought that shit on yourself. You pissed him off." "Thanks, Lilia. But I realize that myself. What do we do now?"Should I say something first? Should I keep quiet? Am I supposed to run away? Or should I stop?"How about you kissing him? Let's spice things up and complete the mate band. That would be a great idea, Layla.""You know what would be a great idea too?" She gave an annoyed groan and asked, "I'm supposed to shut up, right?" "If that's your only idea, then yes. Check him out. I'm

The pressure of his teeth on my neck increased until his teeth pierced my skin. It hurt at first, but the pain passed very quickly and turned into a positive feeling. I couldn't place the feeling correctly, because it felt like a hundred at the same time.Because of Xavier's bite, I was accepted into the pack and that was just as small a bomb. I felt something was different. That I belonged to a new pack and the connection to my old pack was completely severed. There was no turning back. But I couldn't really deal with it because the bite was in the foreground and my mate had my attention.My bond with Xavier had grown just as much as my feelings for him. There were far too many impressions at once and my attraction to him was greater than before and I felt the sparks stronger already. Once I bit him, Xavier would feel it just as much more.He snapped his teeth back in and gave me a kiss on that spot. A groan escaped my lips automatically, just from the sparks. Xavier pulled away from
