Chapter 70
Donovon’s POV
It doesn’t take her long to fall asleep again because she was hardly able to sit due to weakness. Ivory told me, in a few hours she will be fine as this is not the first time it has happened with her.
I wanted to ask if this happens with her often, but then I thought to ask her this later as for now, she needs to sleep.
When I notice Ella waking up I quietly carry her outside the room so that Ivory can sleep without being disturbed.
The smell of breakfast is wafting through the air when I walk towards the kitchen. I find that guy from earlier preparing breakfast while lost in his own world.
Early in the morning, when I brought Ella back inside the house so that I could leave before anyone gets up. Ella didn’t let me go, whenever I used to put her down she used to wake up and started crying and I can’t watch her crying. So after saying screw everything, I held her while she was sleeping I don’t even remember I fell asleep as well.
“You drink black coffee?” He asks while arching an eyebrow.
I silently nod my head then he pours coffee in the second mug and hands it to me.
“I am sorry, I don’t remember if we have met before.” I frown trying to remember if I have met before today.
“No, today is the first time I have met you, but I have known a lot about you.” He smiles warmly, “I am sorry, I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself earlier. I am Micah.” He extends his hand towards me.
“I am Donovon.” I clasp his hand in mine in a firm handshake, “But I think you already know that.” My lips tilt up in a smile.
“Before I forget, I should tell you Ivory’s brother is on his way and he will be here till afternoon. And your Beta and Wyatt has gone to the pack and even they will return around afternoon,” He informs, then he smirks, “Oh, another thing when I went to your pack, with Wyatt, to buy some eggs for breakfast. I have compelled Emma to think you were with her the entire night and now you have gone to your parents’ house. So, Emma will not be able to figure out your absence.” He winks.
“Who are you?” I narrow my eyes as I carefully look at him, “You smell like a werewolf, but...” I frown as I rattle my mind to think who he might be.
“I am a werewolf, but I got magic from my mother,” He informs, “My mother she is a fairy.”
“You are Elder Benjamin and Ophelia’s son?” I ask as my eyebrows shoot up in recognition because as far as I know, they are the only werewolf and fairy couple.
He nods his head with a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.
“We should eat breakfast before it gets cold.” He makes two plates and places it on the small dining table in the kitchen.
“She has got really attached to you.” He points to Ella with a small smile playing on his lips. “She is never this quiet when she wakes up, but with you, she seems so calm.”
Ella is quietly resting her head on my chest still slightly sleepy.
“Do you know Ivory for a long time?” I ask as I recall the look he has on his face whenever he sees her.
“No, not for long... but it seems like I have known her my entire life.” He shakes his head, as again his eyes shine with the adoration as he talks about her.
Anger slightly churns inside me because I don’t like the way his eyes light up when Ivory’s name comes.
“I want to ask, something which I have been wanting to ask you for some time.” I try to keep away my anger from my tone, as since I have met him he has been nothing but nice, “Do you have feelings for Ivory?”
He looks at me slightly surprised, not expecting me to ask him this question.
“I can see the way you look at her.” I slowly nod my head, “Your concern for her... it surely speaks how you really feel about her.”
“Yes, you are right, Donovon.” He nods his head, holding my gaze unwaveringly, “I love her. But you don’t have to worry about anything, as she only loves you and I am nothing but a good friend to her who will always stay by her side.”
“I will never come in between you two because that is not what I want. I just want her to be happy, and I know her happiness lies with you.” He smiles sincerely.
“I appreciate your honesty.” My lips return his smile because his words are laced with sincerity. And honestly, even if I want I can’t hate him, there is something about this guy which makes him trustable.
“Maybe we can become friends as we both love the same girl, in our own ways.” He winks and laughs, his laugh is contagious and I feel myself laughing along with him.
Sometime during breakfast, Ella starts to rub her mouth on my chest as I glance down at her in confusion while Micah is trying hard not to laugh.
“What?” I ask looking at him with irritation as now he is attempting to cover up his laugh with a cough.
He clears his throat as he holds back his laugh.
“She is searching for something which you don’t have.” His eyes shining with laughter, “She is looking for boobies, it looks like she is hungry.”
My face turns red as he bursts out laughing.
“Stop laughing, asshole.” I glare at him which makes him laugh even louder.
“Maybe it is time you should wake Ivory up, because you may have nipples, but they are useless.” He continues to laugh even when I knock him down the chair and walk towards the bedroom to hand Ella to Ivory.
Thankfully, when I enter the bedroom Ivory is already up.
“She is hungry.” I quickly place Ella in her arms and walks outside the room before she can notice the wet patch on my chest.
When I walk back, I find Micah leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest while a teasing smile is settled on his lips.
“Not even a day has passed since we become friends.” He looks at me, “And I already have a secret to blackmail you.”
“What a great start to our life long friendship.” He sighs contently.
