Bella's POV
After taking medicine, he sat down at the chair that was beside the bed. It was starting to get awkward due to the thick silence. I started to fiddle with my fingers. I did not know what to say nor what was going on in his mind.As I lifted up my eyes to look at his face, I frowned. His face features had turned into sadness. I did not understand the change in mood. He was grinning like a small kid just minutes ago.I did not dare to break the silence. Lucky for me he was the first one to break the silence. But I wished he did not. Because I was dreading the question."Why?" he asked in a small voice. I did not need him to finish the question. I knew the time would come when he would ask that question. But was I ready for that question? No. But I had to be. I owe him.Before I could open my mouth to answer, "Do you hate me that much that you felt like you would rather die than to give me a chance?" he asked as I can lBella's POV " I want to give us a chance."Once I had said this, all the sounds in the room had died. He had stopped laughing. He turned the other side, hence I did not know his expression. I wonder if I had said the wrong thing. Slowly and cautiously he turned his face around. He had an expression that I was not able to read. His eyes were open wide. I realised that he was shocked. But I did not know if it was good or bad."Tell that again." He asked me. "You heard me," I said as I started to fiddle with my fingers. Why is he asking me to repeat again?" I know. I want to hear it again." he said, still in a daze. I was wondering why he was asking me to say again but nonetheless I said it again."I want to give us a chance." I repeated again. His shocked face turned into a grin. I was able to see all his white shining teeth."I wasn't dreaming. You really said it. You want to give us a chance, give me a c
Bella's POVAfter some time, Xavier came back once he had talked to the doctor. He gave me a smile as he walked in. "So the doctor said that you are all good to go, but you have to take your medicines," he said while giving me a stern look at the last sentence.I just sheepishly smiled at him. " Here change into this and we will be good to go." he said as he gave me a big shirt and shorts. I gave him a who's-is-it questioning look. He chuckled. "Its my smallest shirt I could find. And that is my boxers." he said as he smirked at the last part.I blushed as he said that it was his boxers. "oh ok. Thank you." I said as I could find another blush coming up its way again. I thought of going to the bathroom to change when I realised there was none. Sensing this, "Right, there is no place for you to change. How about I turn the other side and you change?" He suggested.I was shy at first. "Don't worry I won't see. Even th
Bella's POV"Wi-will I ev-ever be able to g-go b-back?" I asked and I stuttered.As I asked that question, his eyes changed into pitch black. I gasped as I saw the colour change in his eyes. It was like the previous times. They were black yet had sparks of blue in them.But now they were completely pitch black. "NO! You are never leaving me. Never. You're mine. Forever." he told me in a cold voice that I failed to recognise. I started to get scared. "But," I started but got interrupted. "No buts. You are not leaving. That's final." he said and stood up and left the room.On the other hand I was trying to comprehend what was happening. He did not let me finish. I just wanted to finish my university. I wanted to see my friends. The only family that I am left with.But I was not allowed. It upset me. My mother's words came into my mind. "That man is broken. And only you can fix him, not anyone else but you.
Bella's POVAfter nodding my head at him, my stomach grumbled. It has been VERY long since I ate. I think he might have heard as he chuckled."Well someone's hungry I guess." he said as he had a smirk on his face. I just blushed and nodded my head at him. "Well let's go and eat shall we?" he asked and nodded my head eagerly at him. He just laughed at me. He placed his hand at my back and guided me towards the door.The hallway was quite dark. Not wanting to get lost, I moved closer to Xavier. Seeing this, he grabbed my hands and intertwined our fingers. When he did this he looked at our hands expecting me to push them away.But I did not. I have to give us a chance as I promised him and I have to take the baby steps. I just hope he has enough patience. Seeing that I was not going to push away, he looked at my face and grinned at me like a boy who just got his candy, and squeezed my hands as if he was telling that he was happy.I jus
Bella's POVAs he continued to feed me, I started to think. My life has changed 180 degrees. I have to stay here forever. Even though I am happy with it, I am still feeling sad.All my life I have worked hard to get that one degree, and work. I have made so many sacrifices. I never get to enjoy my life like other teenagers. I worked extremely hard. I had rejected every time my friends asked me to loosen up a bit. I studied day and night while working at the café. Paying for my University and getting a living on my own.Just when I had the taste of freedom, I got pulled back again. Even though I am happy to be with a man like Xavier, this is something I have worked all my life.My dreams, aspiration and aim, Everything is being shattered. And my friends, Alec and Avery, they must be worried sick about me. I miss them so much.I did not realise someone was calling until I felt like someone was shaking me. I snapped my h
Bella's POVWhat I saw shocked me. His eyes did not have any hatred. He was staring at me with love, care, concern, pity, determination and pride.I did not understand. "I am sorry that you had to go through all this. I wish I was there to protect you, gosh I am such a terrible mate." he said as he started to blame himself."NO! You are not. It's not your fault. Please do not blame yourself please." I tried to tell him. "How is it not? I was not there when you were hurting." he said back."But you are here now. That is what matters." I said trying to stop him from blaming himself. He just let out a sigh. To make him feel better, I hugged him and rubbed his back and said it's not his fault.He hugged me back tightly and hid his face and sniffed me to calm himself down. I slowly rubbed his hair to comfort him. I was feeling happy all of a sudden. Not sad anymore knowing he was there for me.Suddenly he started to kiss my neck that was
Xavier's POV"But you are here now. That is what matters." She said as she looked into my eyes to reassure me. I just sighed. I did not know what to say.She suddenly hugged me and rubbed my back and said it was not my fault. It was comforting and soothing. I start to calm down.I hugged her back tightly. Like she was my oxygen. I placed my face at the crook of her face and took her scent in. She was rubbing my hair smoothly making my wolf purr.I was not able to control myself. I placed a small kiss below her earlobe. She shuddered when I kissed her neck. I smiled at the effect I have on her.I started to kiss down her neck and everywhere else in her neck where I could find place. Slowly I kissed at the crook of her neck, where I would mark her one day.When I kissed her there, "Xavier," she called out to me. I froze. I looked at her face. This was the first time she had said my name.The way my name rolle
Bella's POVI felt something soft underneath me. I cuddled into it more. It was so warm and comforting. I heard a heartbeat coming from the pillow. That is weird.I felt something soft stroking my cheeks and warm air at my forehead. As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Xavier gazing at me lovingly. I realised that my head was resting at his chest and my legs were tangled with his while we were cuddling each other.Sensing our position, I start to blush. When he saw this he let out a chuckle. He gave me a peck on my forehead and looked at me again.I was looking back at his eyes. His eyes were so beautiful. They were as blue as the sky. I want to keep looking at them and never look away.He slowly starts to lean in. When I realised what he was about to do, I turned my head away. "What happened? Did I do something wrong?" he asked me in worry and sadness.I quickly shook my head. I covered my mouth and said, "
Bella's POV It has been Almost a month since I was kidnapped. I have healed and there were only marks left which are fading too. Xavier has been very protective since then. Not that I am complaining.Currently we are in the backyard as the entire pack is watching a movie together. I thought it would be a great idea for all of us to spend some time together. Hence I planned this bonding time.Currently I am wrapped around Xavier's arm while watching Avengers civil war. To my side was Avery wrapped around in Noah's arms while in left was Alec and James. The pack was in front of us with either their mate beside or their pups. I sighed in content as I saw this. It was heartwarming to know everyone is happy.I snuggled into Xavier's arms more as he hugged me tightly and he nuzzled his nose in my neck. I will never get used to this I guess."What are you thinking about.?" he whispered to me. I looked up at him and smiled. "Nothing." I said as I
Xavier's POVI was pacing outside the infirmary for 45 minutes. The doctors are still in there treating my mate. I hope she is fine. Damien has yet to calm down yet.He is still on edge. He wouldn't rest till we know that Bella is fine. Me neither. I need to know my Bella is fine. She has to be fine.The doctor came out and immediately I rushed to her. "How is my mate? Is she ok? Will she be ok?" I bombarded her with questions."Alpha calm down. The Luna is fine." she said. That is when I released the breath that I was keeping. "she is fine. She was through so much pain that was impossible to endure since she is human.That is why she passed out. She is taking a rest now. She does have fractured ribs which will heal soon. She also has injuries in her stomach like cuts and she was stabbed once. Hence she had lost blood.But now she is fine as we have done blood transfusion. She won't be able to walk for a week or two. She has to be well taken
Bella's POVI jolted awake as cold freezing water poured on me. I shuddered at the coldness. I wince at the coldness coming in contact with my injuries.It has been almost a day since he start to torture me. He had whipped me, cut me in my stomach and also punched me. My entire body is in pain. He went hours with the torture, until I couldn't bare it no more, I passed out until this monster in front of me woke me.I am unable to endure it any more. My entire body has cuts and whips slashes. Tears would not stop flowing. As he stares at me, he looks at me like I am his masterpiece. I am crying in pain that he inflicted on me. He just laughed at me. He takes a sharp knife and cuts across my stomach at the same place he had a few hours ago. I scream at agony. He just smiles at me as if it was normal. He takes the knife and lightly grazes it over the skin in my cheeks as my tears fall free. I am enduring all this pain in hopes that Xa
Bella's POV It has been 2 days since I was kidnapped. No one was yet to walk in from the door. I was just sitting here tied up. My whole body is numbed considering how long I have sat here.I was tired and weak. I have lost some blood due to the cut. They also starved me. I was not given water or food which makes me even weaker.I am trying to stay strong. I have hoped that Xavier would find me and save me. I just wish he would save me in time.Suddenly a loud bam sound was heard. That was when I realised it was the door. I heard heavy footsteps. They were slow. It was like the person was trying to build tension in the room.Soon I saw a man in front of me. The sight made me gasp. He was tall, probably 6'1 feet with dark black hair. He had a big slash mark on his face that went from his eyebrow to his chin.He wore ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. He looked bulky and his aura sent shivers down my spine. He looks rea
Xavier's POVI had just reached home. As I entered the house, everyone either scurried away or bow their head at me in fear. Everyone knows the monster has awakened.Growls left my lips as I sped my way up to mine and Bella's room. As I enter the room her scent feels up my nostrils calming me up a bit.But as I took in the sight in front of me, I started to growl. It was as if there was a struggle. Things were messed up. I start to see red. I couldn't think straight. Suddenly I caught a smell. Blood. I followed it. It led to a painting. It was a painting of my wolf in a night background with a full moon. But what I saw made me feel rage. There was a line of red blood. It was Bella's blood.That was what it took me to lose control of. I let out a thunderous roar which made the entire building shake.I couldn't control anything anymore. I shifted into my wolf as I left the house and went to the forest. I ra
Bella's POVIt has been 2 days since Xavier had been to his London. He will be arriving tomorrow or the day after. I cannot wait to see him again.To tell the truth, I have missed him a lot. His caring words, his smile and his incredibly beautiful eyes. I missed them all.Currently I was in mine and Xavier's room, painting with the canvas, painting and paint brush that I found in the old storage beside the garden.I was painting Xavier's midnight black wolf with a night background and a full on the top. It was so beautiful. I painted this with my imagination and it came out awesome.Once I was done, I was doing the last few amendments when I suddenly heard a squeaky sound followed by a cold breeze. I turn around to see the window opened. That was weird. I remember closing the window. Without thinking much of it, I went to close it again.After taking a glance, I closed the window and turned back. Soon there was a black gloved hand co
Bella's POV"That's me, love." Xavier said. to say I was shocked will be an understatement. I cannot believe my ears.I saw a tear drop from his eyes. "Xav, what happen?" I asked as I panicked. I cupped his face as I wipe the tear away."I remember everything Bella. everything that happened in the six months. How I met your parents, the accident and you." he said as he looked at me intensively."Really?" I asked as I was shocked. He got his memories back. "What do you remember?" I asked. I was curious."You." he said. "Me?" I questioned. "Yes. You. The 9 years old girl. Whenever my parents brought me to your house, I always looked forward to see you. I never approached you. You were so caring and kind. I wanted to approach you, talk to you and become your friends. But I did not wanted to pull you into my messed up life.So I stayed away from you and watch you from far, playing games. You used to pout every time your mum did not give
Bella's POVI flickered my eyes open as I rubbed my eyes. I came face to face with Xavier's chest. I felt warm and comfortable that I did not feel like waking up.I snuggled closer to him as his grip on me became tighter. "Good morning beautiful." I heard someone say. I opened my eyes to see Xavier's eyes closed. I got confused. He snuggled closer to me. "You smell so nice, Love." I heard again yet his eyes were closed.I start to panic. He quickly opened his eyes. "Love don't panic it was me." He said as he tried to calm me. I found myself calming down."But your eyes were closed and your lips weren't moving." I said it was becoming confusing. He just chuckled. "I was talking to you through the mind-link, love."I got confused, again. "It means we are able to communicate through our mind. For now you and I will share a link with meAfter you shift you will be able to share a link with the pack." he explained. I made an understanding
Bella's POVWithout realising the words came flying out of my mouth."Mark me, Xavier."Xavier froze upon hearing the words. Soon I was turned over and I was straddling Xavier. "Mark me." I said as I smiled softly and cupped his cheeks. "Are you sure? It's ok if you are not ready." he said as he tried to make sure I was ready. I just smiled at him."I am sure. I love you. I will always love you. And I want you. Nobody else but you." I said as I kissed his cheeks.Soon I saw a full blown smile that reached his eyes. It was like a kid just got his cotton candy. "Thank you so much Mio Amore. You are so right. You are mine. MINE." He growled at the last."Yours" I said, smiling at him. "Before I mark you, someone wants to meet you." he said as I tilt my head in confusion. "Who?" I asked."My wolf wants to meet you so badly." when he said my eyes became wide. "Hey. It's ok. He is very nice. He would never hurt you. He loves you as
