Fated To Save Him

Chapter 6

1 year later.

Layla walks into the lounge room a big smile in her beautiful face, she hands Anna and Tom a bowl popcorn and settles in beside Jake. He lifts up the blanket over his lap and she snuggles into his chest. He wraps his arm around her, wrapping the blanket over her lap.

She starts shoveling the popcorn from their shared bowl into her mouth. Jake smiles gently at her.

"Can you leave some for me?"

"You won't have to worry about it tomorrow, you will have a whole group of different people to fight for food with"

"Will you miss me?"

"In your dreams, I am going to turn your room into my dojo. If you walk in you are guaranteed to get kicked in the head"

"Good luck weakling, fine I will sleep in your room and move all your books around and mess up the place"

"Why are you sleeping here anyway? You have a new room in a new house now"

Anna looks at Tom.

'Aren’t they cute?'

'Why do I feel that you love your son so much that you actually raised a girlfriend for him?’

'As if she doesn't bring happiness to this house'

'Fine, you are always right'

Even though she knows he is being sarcastic, she still smirks smugly because she knows she is always right.

'As long as you know'

"Mum, do I really have to go?"

"Before every wolf turns 17 they have to move into the pack house, it is your 17th birthday in 2 days, you have left it till the last minute, you will be alpha. You need to have good affinity with the rest of the pack"

"Can I bring Layla?"

"No she is too young, after she turns 16 we will revisit it"

"That's only 2 months away"

"You think I can't look after her?"

Layla squeezes Jake's stomach trying to grab any skin on his already sculpted body and laughs.

"He will just miss my cooking"

"I will have to go back to cooking if you take her from us"

"It is okay Jake, I will still pack your lunch for school"

"You promise?"

"Of course, I can't let the mighty future Alpha starve to death"

Anna laughs and looks at the two snuggling on the couch, as they paint the most beautiful picture of the most perfect couple.

"You two are making it sound like we are throwing him out in the wilderness for survival training"

"Maybe it is Anna, Wendy is there, Jake might not survive her advances"

Jake finally smiles, his green eyes shining with anticipation.

"Are you jealous Layla?"

Layla snorts.

"As if, I just don't want you to get suffocated in the night from her excessive perfume and massive boobs"

Jake gently squeezes Layla's breast.

"Yours are much bigger than hers"

She slaps his hand off.

"Eww have you touched hers? Don't touch me with your filthy hands"

Jake is still lost in the feeling of her breast in his hand. He pulls her back into his arms.

"Of course I haven't"

Layla glares at him and watches the movie again wrapping her arms around his waist. She snuggles into his warm strong chest.

Apart from the first time, they have never kissed again. Layla doesn't have many friends apart from Jake, not that she knows about it, but Jake has scared off all the boys and the girls just want to befriend her to get close to Jake, she is not stupid enough to think it is genuine, so she just sticks with Jake.

Because she doesn't have many friends, she doesn't realise that this level of flirting and touching is beyond the realm of friendship and of course Jake will not enlighten her.

Jake holds her close, most wolves are excited to move to the pack house, but he isn't. He won't get to see her every morning, when she wakes up from nightmares of her past life (that is what they call it now) she won't crawl into bed with him and hold him like he is the most important thing in the world.

When they walk home from school together and then she runs into the kitchen to prepare snacks for him.

The movie finishes and it's late. Jake stands up and they say goodnight to Tom and Anna.

Jake wraps an arm around Layla's shoulder. He clenches his fists, his nerves getting the best of him. As they reach the door of Layla's door Jake finally builds up the courage.

"Do you want to have a sleep over for my last night?"

Layla looks up at him excitedly, even though she is used to seeing that face, sometimes it shocks her how handsome he is, he really does deserve the title of the best looking boy in school.

"Okay, but don't complain about me stealing the quilt this time"

"I won't"

"Okay, wait for me"

Layla runs into her room and gets changed, leaving the door open in her rush. Jake stands at the door leaning against the door frame and watching as Layla pulls off all her clothing, revealing her pale skin and beautiful figure.

Her black hair hanging long on her back and a pair of black underwear.

His breathing hitches and his hands dig into the door frame. She turns to walk to the robe and he gets a view of her side figure, her washboard stomach and her developing breasts all in his view.

His breathing getting heavier and heavier as he shifts uncomfortably in the doorway, he knows he shouldn't look, but he can't tear his eyes away.

Layla pulls on some flannel pajamas and runs happily to Jake. Jake turns to the side to hide his reaction.

Layla jumps on his back, her arms wrapping around his neck.

"Let's go"

He carries her to his room and throws her off his back onto the bed and disappears into the bathroom.

He comes out 15 minutes later looking a lot calmer. Layla is sprawled out all over the bed. Jake jumps on the bed.

"Where am I meant to sleep?"

"On the floor"

"You are so cold hearted, you would kick me out of my own bed?"

"Come here then"

They hide in under the quilt. Jake pulls her into his arms, their noses touching and their eyes locked onto each other. The quilt is blocking out most of the light in the room but Jake can still see Layla as clear as day.

"Do you know that I am going to miss you Layla?"

"I will miss you too"

Layla's dependence on him is pretty huge, she worries that he will drift away with the move. She holds him tightly. He whispers

"Will you move in 2 months?"

"If Anna and Tom let me, you may not want me to come after 2 months"

"I will always want you with me"

Layla is not sure how to process this sense of loss, his warm body is in her arms.

"Jake, I want to kiss you, is that alright?"

Jake moves his head down and kisses her. She moves up in his embrace to gain better access to his mouth. Jake's hands runs down the curves of her body, he has to shift again to not scare her as his body reacts. His bathroom session did little to curb his desire for her.

Their lips and tongues clash.

They make out until Jake can't take it anymore, his suppressed lust is ready to boil over.

"We should sleep"

"I know, Jake, you are a very good kisser"

"Well you are still terrible, remember not to kiss anyone else"

"Who am I going to kiss? Everyone hates me"

Jake smiles sinisterly, knowing he has done his job right if Layla has no idea how many of the boys want to be with her. The room is dark so Layla cannot see his expression.

"As long as I like you, who cares about everyone else?"

The next morning Jake wakes up, Layla's body is completely entangled with his, they have slept together lots of times in the last couple of years, less and less in recent times as her nightmares have come with less and less frequency and the fact that Jake tries to avoid situations that he won’t be able to control himself, like now he has to breathe deeply to calm his mind. Layla is an uncouth sleeper and likes to move around a lot, her pajamas have twisted and ridden up, lots of her bare soft skin is pressed against him.

He can't help but lean down and kiss her slightly parted lips.

Even though she is only a year younger than him she seems so young and innocent. Even at this young age, most of the she wolves have started having s*x.

The s*x drive is just higher at a younger age within packs, but not Layla, she is so sweet and young that even a kiss is clumsy and nervous.

Layla opens her eyes and smiles sweetly at Jake.

"Are you ready to move up in the world? It is time to stop just hiding with me and start to get used to running the pack"

"Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"Of course not"

He bends down and kisses her softly, testing the waters. She returns the kiss almost instantly.

He rolls on top of her and kisses her harder and harder. His reaction pressed against the two of them as he tries hard to resist.

He groans as he pushes himself off her.

She looks at him with wide eyes. She felt something, felt something different this time. She is a pile of nerves and rolls out of the bed and runs back to her room.

Jake looks at her leaving. He is not sure how to tell her how he feels about her, no matter what he does she seems oblivious, but at the same time he doesn't want to scare her.
