Laylas perspective ~

After we both washed up we made our way back to bed, still naked and smelling fresh.

Pushing Christian down on the bed in all his glory, I admired the gorgeous man in front of me. 

From his 6 pack abs covered in tattoos to his very large cock, I was entranced by the Adonis before me, he's definitely one of the Moon Goddess's masterpieces, I thought to myself with pride.

            Sexual content begins 

I was thinking about everything all at once and was starting to overwhelm myself because Christian is it for me, he's going to be my first and last everything. So, I wanted to impress him and prove I could take charge and satisfy his sexual needs. I was nervous so I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and just went for it without a second thought.

As I stared into his eyes I grabbed his face and brought his lips to mine kissing him passionately and savoring his lips until I could no longer breathe and was forced to finish devouring his mouth. 

I lovingly kissed my way down his neck and chest. While playfully flicking his nipples with my tongue before softly nibbling them.

I continued kissing my way to his member.

I now realize why they called it a happy trail. By the time I got there, Christian was already taking deep breaths in an attempt to control his wolf. 

Finally, seeing it up close, I stared in awe admiring the width and length.  I couldn't fit my whole hand around it considering it was hard as a rock and begging to enter me. 

I wrapped my hand around his shaft slowly stroking up and down as Christian softly moaned. I gradually picked up the pace bringing the head of his leaking member into my mouth.

Placing the head partially into my mouth, I traced imaginary circles around the tip and laved my tongue up and down his shaft, causing Christian to gasp in surprise and pleasure.

"Goddess Layla I'm not going to last long if you keep doing what you're doing feels amazing." Christian moaned closing his eyes as I proceeded to worship his cock. 

Repeating the circular motions I brought his head further and further into my mouth until I picked up speed sucking his head while stroking the shaft.

I tried different techniques until I found one that suited him. I brought his cock to the back of my throat until I couldn't fit any more of it in my mouth and once again started picking up speed. 

I sucked his member hard and fast and his legs began to spasm due to the rush of pleasure. 

Christian went directly for my hair pulling it and using it to maneuver my mouth faster and faster on his shaft. 

"Fuck your mouth is amazing! Where'd  you learn that?" Christian growled pleased with my technique. 

I looked into his eyes shrugging my shoulders and continued sucking his cock. 

I could feel it hitting the back of my throat and was surprised I hadn't gagged yet.

" Don't stop, I'm about to cum baby," Christian growled. 

I felt his shaft becoming harder than before, making me suck faster until suddenly I felt his cock beginning to pulsate.

His warm seed shot into my mouth and I swallowed letting it spill down my throat, leaving Christan out of breath and very satisfied.

Everything happened so fast because it was both of our first times, we would learn together, and my wolf liked the fact I was his one and only.

               End of sexual content 

         

Christian and I spent the day in one another's arms laying around, indulging in movies and cozying up in my bed. He hadn't taken me back to his room, or out of mine that matter. As his mother deemed it inappropriate before I was officially marked and she had a chance to officially meet me. Personally, I thought it was because she hadn't had a party for us yet and announced it to the entire pack, similar to an engagement party, and I understood her concerns, considering that's true, he hadn't announced I was his mate to the pack yet, so I didn't mind. If i was being honest with myself, it bothered me he didn't tell anyone yet. Was he ashamed, I was his mate? He had only said it was convenient when Mike was around, that bothered me too. 

However, my thoughts were interrupted  when I noticed a distant look in Christian's eyes, as if he was receiving a mind link. After the link, an unsettling expression clouded his face, hinting at something amiss.

"Is everything okay, Christian?" I inquired, genuine concern lacing my voice.

Christian let out a deep, exaggerated sigh before responding, "We've been experiencing breaches at the border. Not from the typical random rogues, but it feels like something or someone is testing us, probing for weaknesses."

"What do you mean, babe? Why would someone be testing your weaknesses? You know we are one of the strongest packs. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, Christian," I pressed, my concern growing.

"It does, Layla, if we are still in a transition," Christian explained. "Right now, we are considered at our weakest because the higher ranked members haven't taken their permanent positions yet. I've expressed my frustration to my father about this delay, but he's dragging his feet. That's why I've instructed our warriors to keep a very close watch on the borders. I just feel like someone is testing our defenses. But anyway, Layla, this is not something you need to concern yourself with, my love. You are perfectly safe right here in my arms, and you're not going anywhere," Christian reassured me, kissing me on the lips and gently stroking my hair, as we both drifted off into a blissful sleep.

****

I was suddenly awoken by a loud banging on my door. Christian growled as he got up angrily to answer it. " Alpha Christian, we apologize for the interruption. We tried to reach you through the mind link, but you didn't answer. We need you; we found something at the borders," one of the warriors said through the door.

I quickly got up and ran to Christian's side as he hurriedly dressed. "I'll be right there!" he yelled. "I'll meet you at the office," he added, kissing my forehead. "I'll be back, babe. Stay here and don't leave this room,unless you have to," he instructed, locking the door behind him and rushing down the steps. And then he was gone, leaving me feeling cold in his absence. I hadn't been away from him in so long.

I waited for Christian all day, When he finally walked in it was nearly 18 hours later, the scent of dirt and blood clung to him, but it wasn't his own. Worry was etched on his face, and it was clear that he had endured a challenging day, one he didn't want to discuss. When I probed him for information, he quickly shut me down.

"Layla, please,I just want to come home, take a shower, enjoy some much-needed time with my mate, and get some sleep," Christian expressed wearily.

"Christian, I want to talk about it. You seem very bothered," I said, as he took his shirt off and headed for the shower.

"Do you want me to join you?" I asked.

"No, I feel disgusting. I'll meet you in bed," he replied, a response that struck me as odd, as he had never turned down such an offer before. I knew something was troubling him. "Ok"I added, before making my way to the kitchen in the alpha suite to prepare some snacks. It was too late for the chefs to be there, so I quickly made some sandwiches and finger foods for him to snack on when he got out of the shower. It was perfect timing as I returned to the room just as he finished. "What's all this?" he asked, surprised.

"Well, you had a very taxing day, so I wanted to put you at ease and make sure you ate something. And if you want, I can give you a back rub when we're done," I said, offering him a soft smile.

"Thank you," he said, joining me on the bed as I put on a scary movie. But Christian quickly changed the movie. "No horror movies, babe. I can't deal with it right now," he explained. This struck me as odd because he loved horror movies. "Okay," I said, and put on a romantic comedy instead.

"Do you want to talk about what's been bothering you now?" I offered as he shoved grapes into his mouth.

"No, Layla, considering you're very heavily pregnant. I don't want to stress you out," Christian said, continuing to munch on the food I had just made.

"It's stressing me out that you're not telling me!" I said, frustrated.

Finally, Christian took my hands in his. "I didn't want you to worry, but we found unidentified remains today along the border. Likely male and female, and possibly rogues. They had been dismembered in the most horrific way, the oddest thing is that we didn't find all of the remains, and I didn't want you to have that image in your head, at this point they're just fucking with us" Christian explained with a look of terror on his face. 

Now, I really felt bad for pressuring him to tell me.I had so many questions but was unsure how to approach the situation. Before I could say anything, Christian interrupted, "Can we drop it now?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. It's just that when you're bothered or hurt, I'm hurt and bothered as well. You have to understand that, I'm your mate. I can feel it," I said, tears beginning to well up in my eyes.

"I know, but you're safe here with me and if I don't want to share something, it's probably because it's better that I don't. Now, can we watch this movie and enjoy each other?" Christian asked.

I nodded. "Of course."
