Bella's POV
What 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 wasXavier'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"Please. I just want to see them and let them know I am ok. I can ask them to come here. You can stay by my side all along. Please?" I asked him to give him my best puppy eyes face.His frown got deeper. "Do you have to?" he asked with the same frown. "Yes I have to. They are my only family. They were there during my hard times."I miss them also. "Please." I begged him. He started to think. After thinking some time, he let out a sigh. He looked up at me before giving out another sigh."Fine. But I have two condition." he said strictly. I looked curiously. " What are they?" I asked him."First I have to be with you at all times. Understand?" he said while raising his eyebrows. "Ok sure." I said to him. "What's the other one?""Well if I say yes, you have to come with me to see my parents." he said very casually. His parents? What? Why?If I get to see my friends then ok. "O-Ok '' I said as I scr
Bella's POVI heard two very familiar voices."Bella?".I turned to the source of the sound. There I saw them. My two best friends. Alec and Avery. I stood up and sprinted towards them and hugged them.We were in a group hug. I was crying. We were smiling at each other. "I missed you guys so much." I said as I smiled like a kid just found her parents after years."You have no idea how much we missed you." Avery said. "Yeah, you have a lot of explaining to do girl." Alec said as he raised his eyebrows.Soon I heard a growl and arms were wrapped around me. I saw behind to see Xavier frowning. "Mine." he snarled out at Alec.When I look back at both of them, they have given me the look which says 'explain now.' I sighed. "Xavier met my friends Alec and Avery, guys meet Xavier." I said.Xavier just nodded at them, while they just nodded their head back awkwardly. Xavier dismissed the two people that
Bella's POV"Love, wake up." I heard a deep voice call out as I heard someone stroking my cheeks. I stirred before stretching my body and opened my eyes.As I opened my eyes I saw, Xavier smiling at me. I gave him back a smile. He just chuckled at me. "Sorry to wake you up but you promised me that you will meet my parents over dinner."I suddenly remembered that and jolted up. I smiled at him excitedly. I always loved meeting people's family. Maybe it's because I don't have one but it always excites me to meet families and get to know them.It makes me happy to see a happy family. Seeing my excited face, Xavier gave me a confused face. "You are excited to see my family?" He asked me. I nodded my head at him. "Wow, I thought you would be nervous." he said with a questioning look. "I like to meet families and get to know them. I-I get to know w-what it is like to have a f-family" I said as I looked down.Seeing this he
Bella's POVI was staring at the couple that was standing in front of me in confusion. Not only me but also Xavier. On the other hand, the couple was looking at me with shock faces."Y-You're, you're.." Xavier's mum asked no one in particular, while pointing at me. "Hi" I waved awkwardly, not knowing what to say.Seeing this, Xavier spoke up. "Love meet my parents, Raffaele and Aurora Romano. Father, Mother, meet my mate, Bella knight." As soon as my name left Xavier's lips both of them gasped. I did not understand what was going on. "Dear, if you don't mind may I know your parents name?" Xavier's father asked me. I nodded my head."Diego and Kiara knight." I said as with confusion. When they both heard that, they visibly stiffened. "Oh dear, you have no idea how long we have been searching for you." Xavier's mum said as she came and hugged me.I looked at Xavier with confusion as he looked back at me w
Bella's POVBut I know that he would never hurt me. With that confidence, I pushed open the door. Once I opened the door, I gasped at the sight in front of me.The room was upside down. Tables flipped over. Holes in the walls. Glasses shattered over on the floor. Curtains torn apart. I was barely able to see anything in the darkness.But with the help of the moon light I saw a figure that was sitting in the bed. Xavier. He had his hands on his head. His shirt was crumpled.The sight of him shattered my heart. He looked disoriented. A lone tear left my eyes at the sight. I slowly made my way over to him. While walking there, a glass piece pierced through my thin sandals.I tried not to make a sound so that I wouldn't startle him. When I was in front of him I kneeled in front of him. I place my hands, on top of his, bringing his hands down. I gasped when I saw his face.He had dried up tears. My heart clenched at the si
Bella's POVWe were eating in comfortable silence, until Xavier's mum spoke. "So son, have you completed the mating process?" and when she said that finish, I heard Xavier cough while I sat there not understanding.Xavier looked up from his plate while his father looked nervous sitting there. "MUM!" Xavier whispered, yelled at his mother and looked at me.I just gave him a questioning look. His mother found this amusing as she just chuckled. "What? I want my grandchildren." she said as she gave an innocent look.My eyes went wide as the saucers. I looked between his mother and him. I blushed and face down. "Darling I think you should calm down." Xavier's father told his wife.She just pouted and continued eating. Well that escalated fast. Soon we were finished. We went to the living room with Xavier's phone.He excused himself and kissed my forehead, and went off to answer. After he went, his parents turned to me. "Thank you for forgiving us
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
