The Runt & The Alpha

Chapter 57- Kade.

Landon's pov

Waking up was more than thrilling, everyday I get a lot more happier than I ever thought was possible. Layla is so amazing and she's so incredible to me, I don't deserve it. I'm so deeply irrevocably in love with her and I love that she can make me feel better in less than two seconds. Especially about something I've never really talked about with her. She's always so understanding no matter what the circumstance is.

But, even if she reassured me it wasn't my fault, there will always be that part of me that blames myself. I was naive and stupid to not realize what was going on. I had no clue and I'm the alpha of this pack, I should have known. No matter what, this will always eat at me. Constantly telling me that I need to make it up to her everyday, and I will.

Layla stirred next to me before she sat up and got out of bed quickly. She went to the restroom and out of instinct I followed after her. Just in time to see her hunch over the toilet, throwing up. I instantly went to her side to help hold her hair back.

After a couple of seconds she flushed the toilet and stood up, "Are you okay, do you need me to mind link Paul?" I questioned, as she walked to the sink.

"No, I'm okay." she reached for her tooth brush and I placed the back of my hand to her forehead.

"Are you sure, I'll just mind link him real quick." I stated, she shook her head again.

"Seriously I'm fine, I promise." she smiled a bit and turned away to grab the toothpaste.

She seemed like she was okay, I just didn't want her to feel sick like that. But, I also didn't want to call Paul over here when she didn't want me too. After a couple seconds I shrugged it off, she said she was okay, I believe her. We both brushed our teeth, glancing to one another. When we finished we washed our faces, I threw a bit of water at her which made her laugh.

Once she was done she smiled and went to walk past me, but, I quickly dried my face and went to grab her wrist. Her body turned towards me, my hand cupping the side of her neck to pull her into a fast kiss. Her response made me smile into the kiss, she did as well.

"I love you." I whispered, against her soft lips.

"I love you." she mumbled, before connecting our lips again in another kiss more slow this time.

When I pulled away she laughed and ran over to the bed, jumping onto it. Her black hair surrounded her angelic features. She was so effortlessly beautiful it was insane. I smiled, walking over to her and crawling over her. My arms caged her in between me, my fingers barely brushing over her mark.

"You're so beautiful, Layla." she smiled, shivering a bit at the touch.

Then she shook her head, her hands coming up to cover my mouth, "Stop." she laughed out.

I rested myself between her legs, a smile slipping onto my face once I took in her flushed cheeks. One of my hands moved to take hers away from my mouth.

"I can't help it, I want you to know how absolutely ravishing you are." I pecked her hand that was in my palm softly, before leaning down to press my lips against hers.

'More than ravishing she's like heaven.' Jake inputted and I couldn't agree more.

That sweet angelic laugh of hers met my ears as we kissed. Just kissing her gave me such an adrenaline rush, it was fueled with love and passion. I love that her kisses gave me such relief, always pulling me from my stressful mind. Taking me to a place that was only her and I. When she pulled away, I brushed some of her hair away from her face.

My eyes getting lost in her emerald ones that held such a softness to them, "I have to get some work done at the pack house today."

"I'm coming." she said.
