Chapter 30
Amelia's POV
"I love you, little one.”
When he said this my body tensed. This what I wanted to hear from him ever since I met him. And now that he said it, I don't know what I have to say.
"Xavier, 1-1" I stuttered. "Shh, little one. You don't have to say anything. Just listen to what I have to say first.” He was in sitting in his knees while cupping my face.
"I was such a fool to not accept my feelings, for you. In all honesty, I had feelings for you, little one. Since the moment I saw you, I was starting to develop feelings for you.
But I was afraid. I had built this wall around my heart, after my mum left. I thought everyone will leave me. But you started to break those walls.
No matter how strong I build it, you were breaking them with just mere looks. And that scared me. I thought you will eventually leave me.
But you didn't. No matter how much I pushed you, you stayed. You never left. You always find your back to me, little one.
So please, little one. Accept me. Be mine. All mine." he said holding my hands tightly, almost begging. I just stayed there silent.
"You loved me once, little one. Love me again.” he said, his eyes glistening with tears. “I didn't loved you, Xavier." I said with tears forming of my own.
His face fell. "I love you." I said in honestly. I will always love him. I can't even imagine myself with another person than Xavier.
He had a smile forming in his lips. "But, I was hurt Xavier. And I am scared to be hurt again.” he face showed concern to what I say.
"Than let me heal you, little one. Just like how you healed my stone heart. And I promise, with my heart, I will never hurt you." He said genuinely.
"Than yes. I would give you a chance.” I said with a smile. He sat there shocked before engulfing me into a hug.
"Thank you so much, little one. I promise I will treat you like the Queen you are.” I laughed at the irony. I hugged him back with a smile on my face.
We stayed like that for awhile, before we pulled away. We were looking at each other, like how every mates stare at each other.
He slowly started to lean in. So did I. The moment our lips collided, fireworks started to happen. I was smiling into the kiss.
It was slow and passionate. After some time, we pulled away. We stayed there in each others arm, gazing into the sky.
Soon it got dark, and we decided to head back. When we headed back, everyone were already asleep. We were retreating to our rooms.
I said good night to him. He gave me a kiss in my cheek and we retreated to our room. I was trying to calm my racing heart.
I haven't never felt this contented in my life. I feel happy to be with him. We need to take things slow, but we will get there.
I went to take a shower and put on my onesie and went to sleep. I was thinking about today and us. With a smile I went to sleep.
I was sleeping, when I heard someone screaming and making me wide awake. Realising it was Xavier's screams, I quickly jolt to his room.
I saw him squirming and groaning as sweat covered his face. His eyebrows were scrunched. He was having a nightmare.
"Little one, No. Come back.” he kept repeating the same thing again. I rushed to him and tried to wake him up.
"Xavier, wake up!" I said while shaking him. After sometime he woke up and started to look around the room. When his eyes found mine, he quickly pulled me into a hug.
"You are ok, little one. You are alive." he said breathing heavily. "Hey its ok. I am here, Xavier. I am ok. We are ok.” I whispered.
I slowly lay him down and covered him with the duvet. I stroke his hair as I smiled at him softly. I stood up to leave, thinking he was asleep, when he stopped me.
"Stay with me, please.” I heard his desperation. I contemplated and decided to stay. He scooted a little and made some space for me.
I went and lay next to him. We cuddled into each others arm and fell into each others embrace. Xavier's POV
I felt something squirm against me. I groaned and hugged the pillow tighter. Wait. Pillows don't squirm. I open to my eyes to see my mate.
She looked so cute and innocent while sleeping. Our bodies were tangled as I hugged her to my body and she had her arms wrapped around me.
I brushed my fingers against her cheeks. She let out a sigh and hugged me tighter. I hugged her tighter, and put my face in her neck inhaling her scent.
She had stayed with me when I had asked her. I have never been this happy before. I wasn't really a morning person.
But if I get to wake up like this every morning, I don't mind it. I could get used to this. After few minutes, I felt her waking up.
She slowly open her eyes. First, she was wondering where was she. But after she saw me, her face turn red immediately. She started to blush.
After she realised the position we were in, her blush only grew. "G-Good morning.” she said shyly. I let out a laugh.
"Good morning, little one.” I said back brushing my fingers against her redden cheeks. She started to get up, but I pulled her back.
"No. Stay." I whined hugging her. She let out a laugh. "We need to go Xavier. We have work." she said trying to get up.
I whined but woke up. She went to her room to get ready while I went to take a long shower, still in a daze about everything.
I went to my office, remembering, I had to call one of the Alpha. After having the conversation, I went to kitchen to have breakfast.
But the dinning area, was already served with breakfast. There were pancakes, sausages, eggs, bacon and fruits.
Amelia walked out holding waffles in her hand. That's when I realised, its she who did all of this. I walked to her sneakily and hugged her. She squealed but then smiled when she realised its me.
"I don't know what you wanted to have, so I did all of this." she said shyly. "Little one, you didn't have to do all of this." I said, not understanding why she did, when we had cooks.
"I-l wanted to make breakfast for you." she said shyly, her cheeks turning red. My lips broke into a grin. She wanted to all of this for me.
"Thank you little one.” I said kissing her temple. She mumbled a welcome. "Come on, lets eat." I said dragging her with me.
I took everything she had prepared and put in my plate. When I took the first bite of the pancakes, I swear my tongue just melted.
First of all, it was my favourite chocolate chip pancake. Secondly, it tasted amazing. I moaned at the
taste. Its literally the best chocolate chip pancake.
"Mmm. Little one, the pancake taste amazing. Its my favourite.” I said taking few more bites. "I know." she said smiling.
"How do you know?" I asked her in confusion still eating the amazing pancakes. "I had asked Angela once, last time." she said shyly.
She knew my favourite breakfast. It just melted my heart. She wanted to know about my favourites and dislikes when I treated her bad.
I felt guilt wash over me. I shook away from those thoughts and only thought about now. "So, what's the secret recipe?” I asked her raising my eyebrows.
She giggled and shook her head. "Not telling you." she said as she took a bite of the waffle. I shook my head in amusement.
"I smell food." Nathan said walking into the dinning area, along with Angela. When he saw the food, he immediately took a plate and start filling them.
As he took the a bite into the pancake, his eyes went wide. "Damn. Who did this? Its amazing." he said eating like a pig.
"Babe. Slow down.” Angela said laughing, as she started to eat. She had a surprise look to as she turn to us, with the same question.
"Its your sister. She cooked all of this.” I said eating my bacon. "Since when did you cook, baby sister.” Nathan asked wide eyed.
"Since when I was in London. You were unfortunate to eat them.” Amelia said as she ate her fruits. "If I knew you could cooks like this, I would have never allowed you go to London.”
Amelia, Angela and I laughed. We continued to eat our food, I ate the most there. I had a surprise for Amelia. And couldn't wait to tell her.
