Nefeli's P.OV. :
When Layla tells them to shift I feel excited but anxious as well.
I feel again that presence inside me and it scares me now. When I thought it was a dream it was fine but now it freaks me out!
" Alex! " I call out to him " She wants to talk to me again!"
Alex runs to me and picks me up in his arms, as I m trembling.
" It is ok, baby, don't be afraid of her." he says holding me tight " Let her in your mind".
I listen to him and focus on the presence.
" Sky?" I say in my mind
" Finally!!" I hear her say " I think a thank you is in order, girl!"
" Why?" I ask apprehensive.
" Cause you got our boy all around you because of me! You are welcome!" She says and her answer makes burst into laughter.
Alex looks at me smiling and tilts his head in question.
" What did she tell you?" he asks me smirking and I instantly blush.
" Nothing..." I say embarassed that I m gushing over him lile a freaking schoolgirl. He leans in and kisses my cheek and I immediately start giggling. What is wrong with me?!
I stop, however, when I see Layla looking at me baffled.
" Why was she laughing at all of sudden?? Look somebody needs to shift so that I know if I'm stepping into crazyland or not!" Layla says pissed and continues
" Jackson, since they are all handsy over there, you do it! Shift! Now!"
Jackson smiles and looks at Layla with a look of mischief
" Whatever my mate orders... " he says.
He then proceeds to blow her a kiss and shifts into a grey wolf.
All three of us are in shock! Me and Layla because it is the first time we have seen something like this... but why is Alex in shock?
Jackson turns back and smiles.
" Dude, I get why they are stunned, but why are you??" He tells Alex.
" Is Layla your mate??? " Alex says amused "When did this happen??"
Jackson turns to look at Layla and he watches her with such adoration that it is like noone and nothing else matters to him.
" When I first saw her.." he says with a smile "...right before she slaped me" he adds touching his cheek with a fake pout on his face.
Me and alex start laughing while Layla stays silent with her jaw dropped.
" She also kicked my balls right before coming in the room. My mate is rough! " he says and playfully growls at her...
" Jackson..." Layla finally speaks and we turn to look at her.
She is white as snow and her eyes are beginning to close..
All of us run to her but Jackson reaches her first and picks her up.
" Layla" he shouts at her " open your eyes!"
When she does she looks like she is not breathing and I start to freak out.
"Everything is ok, baby, it is a panick attack again. Just breath" he says and looks in her eyes while breathing with her.
After a while she collects herself
" I'm ok." she says
" You can let me go now,Jackson" .
Jackson lets her go and I go to hug her tightly.
" It is ok, Nefeli, I m good now. Dont worry about me! Too good actually.." Layla says and looks at Jackson who is grinning at her.
" It is because of the mate bond" Alex says.
" I know what the stories say regarding the mate situation, but what is it actually?" I ask
" What do you know from the stories?" Alex asks and looks at me
" A mate is your destined partner , your other half." I answer and stare at him expecting a burst of laughter. I wish this was true however it is probably just fantasy.
" Exactly" Alex says and looks at my lovingly.
" You mean to tell me, Layla is Jackson's mate??"
I say shocked and turn to see Layla and Jackson staring at each other.
" Yes she is.. and you are mine" Alex says and pulls me close.
And then I remember...
That is what he said at the house right before I passed out!
" Do you remember what you said when you opened your eyes and look at me before you turned?" Alex said suggestively.
Oh my lord! He is right!
" I do... " I say and Layla turns my head to face her.
"What was it Nefeli?" She asks me.
" Mate" I say and tears start to flood my eyes...
It is a lot to digest, I know. But looking at Alex and feeling what I feel I' ve never been happier!
I always felt alone and out of place, even when I was growing up with my father. He took care of me and everything but I never felt I belonged... But now I do. Here with Alex!
I jump into his arms and put my arms around him. He turns my head to look at him and wipes my tears.
" Don't cry, baby, it breaks my heart" he tells me and gives me a kiss.
" Happy tears for a change" I say and smile at him.
" So that means you accept me, yes?" He asks me excited and I nod yes to him.
He grabbed me and kissed like his life depended on it.
I have known him for such a short time butbsomehow this feels so right!
His hands on my my body and his lips on my lips make me feel incredible and at home! I could be kissing him forever!
" Oh, get a room already!" Layla says and brings us back to reality.
We all start laughing and Jackson suddenly picks Layla up and holds her tight. Her legs are dangling as she tries to break free.
" Don't be jealous, love!" he tells her and gives her a hard but quick kiss on the lips
" There you go and there is more to come" he says smiling.
Layla smiles back at him and out of a sudden she slaps him!
" Do that again and there is more like that to come, as well! I might be your mate but you gotta work for it, buddy!! " She tells him and he puts her down and rubs his cheek.
Me and Alex are laughing the whole time they are having a stare down. You can cut the tension with a knife!
Out of the blue, Jackson picks her up and puts her over his shoulder. He, then, starts walking towards the door.
I' m about to stand up and do something about it, cause thats my friend we are talking about, but Alex stops me.
" Let them go Nefeli, they need to bond" he says amused.
" And THAT is bonding?!" I ask him pissed. He just picked her up and took off!
" Your friend appears to be all bark like my friend so yes... that is bonding!" he says and smiles at me.
He does have a point, I guess. Layla does deal with everything mostly with spank and confrontation.
I smile back and sit back in his arms.
" You are cute when you are pissed" he says and kisses my temple but I blush from his words.
" And when you blush " he says and we both start chuckling.
We stay like that in comfortable silence for a while until I break the silence.
"So, now that the hard, supernatural part of what happened today is done, how about we talk about the rest, shall we?" I ask and sit back at the bed to look at him.
We both know I mean David.
