20 That's sound corny
Layla smiled brightly as she woke up to feel the warm body lying beside her.
It was just like she had anticipated the other night when he left, she knew she was going to feel content by just having him beside her, sleeping peacefully
Her mind went back to the events of last night and she couldn't help but feel like she rushed some certain things.
She can't leave her dad hanging, that's for sure. The poor man has always depended on her to take over his legacy and has made sure to train her in that aspect. That's why he didn't complain when she asked for a year to squander and enjoy her life, that's because he knows once she takes over, she wouldn't have the time for all that.
But now that she has just been put in the most complicated situation, what was she thinking when she jumped into making decisions?
Damien was still not sure about her decisions the night before so he told her he can't complete the mating process yet, not when they are in a very complicated situation so she begged him to stay over in her room with a threat that if he leaves, he's going to regret it.
'Everything will be fine, there is always a solution for every obstacle, it's not like I have a choice but to accept him, so for my dad's case, we'll find a solution to it, later' she thought as she hugged Damien tighter and crossed her leg over his.
This is the definition of happiness for Damien, waking up beside his mate, breathing in her heavenly scent, and knowing she loves having him around too.
Hugging her back he breathed her scent in with an audible moan before speaking up "how was your night?" he asked smiling against her head
"The best," she said smiling against his chest which was going at a normal pace of ups and downs.
"Mine too" he replied as he debated which would be better, looking into her eyes and releasing them from the hug or just hug for the whole day
But before he could decide which is best, Layla broke them apart and took in his appearance
His hair was splayed all over and pointing in different directions and that beautified him more than ever, he had this lazy smile on his face as he took her in too and she could help but smile widely at the sight in front of her.
"You're beautiful" he breathed and she cringed
"That sounds corny," she said preparing to stand up before he dragged her back to him
"And why's that?" he teased
"Well, maybe because my hair is not in its best position right now and my face is a bit swollen from sleep"
"Well all those features only added to your beauty my dear," he said sitting up
"Corny" she replied shaking her head in slight disbelief "you know you don't look like the type that uses lines like that in the morning, you know beautiful and the rest"
"And what do I look like?" he asked with a glint in his eyes and a crinkle on his face due to the smile he's holding in
"Well, more like the type that wakes up, have sex, and go about the day" she replied while taking in his expression
"Why do I feel like that's you describing yourself," Damien asked as he saw the way her eyes lit up as she described what he supposedly look like
"Well, it is," she said as she stood up and walked to the window, and took in the beauty of sunrise
"But because you aren't sure I'm making the right decision by staying you can't have sex with me," she said in a whisper, and given Damien's ability, he heard
"Yup, I think it's best we stay safe for now"
"Safe?" she questioned as she had tons of bad things to spew out of her dirty mouth but then decided to just shut up "this is all that witch's fault" she huffed in slight annoyance
"Which witch? Have you met any witch before?" he asked standing up and looking worried which piques Layla's curiosity
"Of course not, it's not like witches exist," she said rolling her eyes "I'm talking about your moon goddess or whatever is it you call her"
'Phew' he made a sound as if he was relieved "So firstly, it's the moon goddess and her name is Selene, and that's what we call her for simplicity and secondly, witches exist"
Looking like a potato she said in disbelief "What!"
"Yes, and if you come across one and he or she told you her true identity, you are in trouble, well except you're somehow connected to the paranormal world"
"Wait a freaking moment there, you're joking right, of course, you're joking, how can you be serious about that" Layla said as she laughed hysterically dismissing the 'lie' he just spewed out of his sexy mouth
"I'm not" he replied smiling back at her
"Wha..." she said with a monkey expression which made Damien burst into laughter
"Common, they are everywhere, I'm sure you would have come across one before since they mostly prefer living among humans, it's safer for them there," he said as he moved closer to hug her
Dumbfounded and unable to think straight she just looked at him as he hugged her while smiling
"Even the pack's doctor is a witch," he said into her hair "she decided to stay with us and keep us safe from physical harm as she's not as powerful as the rest of her coven," he said
"Wait a fucking moment, so you aren't joking about this," she said as she separated them and looked into his eyes for confirmation
"It's funny how you always think I'm lying," he said smiling
"Oh my fucking goodness, I want to see your pack doctor," Layla said while wondering if truly witches look like humans, she's not sure she's met one since, in tales, witches carry around a dark aura
"So you're not scared of witches?" he asked amused, he thought it's in human nature to be scared of the paranormal, why isn't she?
"Well, I'm the Luna of this pack so I'm sure she won't hurt me," she said with so much confidence that the strings of Damien's heart strung and all of a sudden started going in an erratic rhythm
He felt so proud at that moment and so happy she truly has come to a decision that's she's staying, it was like he couldn't believe his ears.
"I love you," he said smiling like a Cheshire cat
"And you already know my answer, Mr. Hopeless Romantic," she said with a smile of her own "now can we get going?" she asked eagerly
"That's not before you get dressed up, how about you meet me downstairs when you're done?" he asked
"How does giving me your phone number sounds?" she asked "I don't see myself looking for you in the midst of other werewolves, I'll just call you when I'm done and we'll go together"
"Sounds perfect," he said smiling
After inputting his digits into her phone he gave her a goodbye kiss and walked out of her sight.
'If someone had told me this would be me and how I'll fall in love, I would have laughed at the person' Layla thought as she watched Damien walk out of the room
She felt more than content, it was like where she was is exactly where she's supposed to be and she isn't denying it.
For the very first she's happy she got a guy's number and was tempted to call him almost immediately
'Would you just stop acting like a fucking teenager!' she scolded herself before walking into the bathroom
