The Runt & The Alpha

Chapter 63- Calm.

Layla's pov

"What about Todd?" he questioned, I frowned at the terrible name.

"Landon that is so bad." I smiled when he pouted, then I started to laugh, "Todd really?"

"Shush." he pecked my lips quickly, catching my eyes with his, "I thought it was cute." he grumbled to himself.

"You're cute." I mumbled, bringing him back to me for a longer kiss.

"You're cuter, my love." he whispered against my lips with a smile before sitting back beside me.

We had been going over baby names for over an hour and have only found a handful. Which were mostly boy names and a couple girl ones I picked. But, they didn't have a spark to them, like they weren't meant to be.

"Sam?" he suggested, that one didn't sound half bad and was gender neutral.

"I actually really like that one." I smiled up at him and he grinned.

"Me too." he replied, leaning over to kiss me again which made me smile even more.

He's been a lot more touchy lately, not letting himself go ten minutes without my lips on his. Or our bodies together, it made me feel really loved. I could tell how much our wolves liked it.

"Okay." he pulled away slowly leaving me breathless, "We have to visit my mom now." he said against my lips.

'One more kiss.' Mia grumbled, I couldn't agree more.

I leaned in to connect our lips in one more hard, sweet filled kiss. Then I pulled away, watching his lips lift into a smirk. And I could feel how warm my cheeks got and tingles shot all throughout my body.

"Come on." he mumbled, turning around to get off the bed and I followed along.

First I leant over to slip my shoes on before getting up from the bed. He held his hand out to me and I slipped my small one into his big one. Then he laced our fingers together before leading us downstairs to the front door. Once we were outside the fresh air slipped through my nose and I felt content. We walked down the pathway until we were in view of other pack members who greeted us nicely.

The walk was short and sweet, Landon making sure to keep me close. He would also move me if a male walked past me, specifically unmated. He's never done that before as we've already mated. But, I assumed it was because, of the pup I was carrying. It made me feel safe and I knew in my heart he was going to be such a great father.

Once we made it to the house, Landon didn't get the chance to knock as Audrey had opened the door with a smile.

"You're here." she beamed, inviting us in before hugging Landon then me even longer, "I can't believe this." her hand made it's way to my stomach and I smiled.

But, when I looked to Audrey's eyes they were flickering with a bit of sadness, "What's wrong?" I asked, glancing to Landon questionably.

He also seemed sad, "Ugh." he blew out a breath and suddenly I felt how hurt he was.

"It's just William won't be here to meet them." she spoke softly still staring at my belly, "He would have loved them so much." her eyes glossed over and my heart clenched at the words.

She was right, my pup wouldn't get to meet their grandfather, I've never thought about that and how it might make Landon feel. I looked to his also
glossed over eyes, his facial features looking troubled with somber. Audrey seemed to sense my instinct to go to him because, she stepped back. And once she did I walked over to Landon to pull him into my arms. He hugged me back tightly while I gave his mark a light kiss.
