◼◼Layla's POV◼

It's been almost a week since I've seen or heard from Alex. And quiet frankly, I'm getting pretty mad. Not just at him. Oh no, but at Beta Brayden and Angie. Every time I see them, I ask about him and they always say the same thing.
"Oh he's fine. Yes, he misses you. I'll tell him you miss him too."
That's it! I feel as though I'm going insane without him. I know my wolf is...
She cries and whimpers constantly and I'm actually pretty worried about her. I need to get them to tell me where Alex is before my wolf gets traumatized or something. I pull on black leggings and a comfy tank top with my Nike flex. I leave my room and hunt down either one if them. Luckily, their together, talking.

"Angie! Brayden!" I yell at them, voice full of determination. They both jump and look at me, looking around too. Probably for an exit. I feel as though they don't want to talk to me. I wonder why...
Kidding. I totally know why.
Their completely annoyed with me constantly bugging them about Alex.

"Y-yes Layla?" Angie stutters.

"I demand to know about Alex this second or I will throw a HUGE fit!" I say sternly to them. I bear my canines for emphasis.

"OK," Brayden says calmly. I freeze, my canines retracting.

"W-what?" I trip over my words a little.

"I said ok. We'll tell you about Alex. Actually, better yet, we'll just let him explain himself," Brayden shrugs, smiling. Before I'm even able to process what he just said, their spinning me around, facing towards a smiling Alex, arms outstretched, less than 10 feet away.
Just the feeling of seeing him makes me start crying, running towards him. He was barely gone a week, and here I am spriniting, full speed to him, crying.
I'd hate to see what would happen if he, or I, leave for a month or even a year.
'Death' my wolf whispers.
I Ignore her and leap into Alex's arms. He picks me up, and spins me, dramatically. I wrap my legs around his waist, kissing him. I hear peolle whistle and hoot. I also hear a lot of huffs and gagging sounds. I would be one of those people too, to be honest. Suddenly embarrassed, I jump off and wipe my face. I smile sheepishly at him.

"Hi," I say, smiling like an idiot.

"Hey," he says in a deep voice. I love his voice so much. I hug him again. I can't stop hugging him.

"I missed you," I say, my face smushed against his chest.

"I missed you, too," he says, hugging me tightly. I feel as though there's nobody else here.

I let my imagination wander to where its actually just me and Alex. I would hold onto him and never let go.

Alex tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. Typically, I wouldn't fall for something so cheesy, but when Alex does it, it makes me swoon.
Were laying in my bed, just cuddling and watching a movie. I can't even focus on it because I'm too busy watching Alex. I can't help it!
He just looks so cute, watching the movie, stuffing popcorn into his mouth, his arm around me. He glances over at me and smiles. I lean in and give him a kiss. He tastes like popcorn.
