CHAPTER SIX

(Ros's Pov)

When She holds my hands, it was so sudden but the amount of warmth that spread over my whole body was just too much to handle. Never have I ever felt like this before, but it still felt familiar only I knew why. Our mate, she is, has always been, my wolf whispers, so softly that I shudder for a moment.

I wanted to close my eyes and imagine how her hands would feel caressing my hair. I never got the affection after my parents died.

Although aunt Jenna treats me like her own son, this kind of warmth is like I was cared about, I was loved, and most importantly I was accepted and acknowledged for who I am.

I never thought I would get this feeling ever again. But Lexi does miracles and magic, I see. And when I thought I was recovering from feeling overwhelmed, she called me little one.

My wolf wanted to throw me into her arms and mourn over everything that had been eating me from inside all these years, this darkness that has held me captive. All the bad memories, the tragedies and my wounds. I could feel the need to heal, yearning to heal desperately whatever the damage was embedded deep within me. I gulp, it scares the shit out of me how the fuck can someone make me feel like this?

" Well princess, I am not that little you know. I Am anything but little," I chuckle and she immediately withdrew her hands from mine as her cheeks turned of red shade.

I force my mouth to shut, suppressing the need to fall back with the chair I am sitting in and laugh at how cute this dangerous alpha leader was, I mean that's what she is known for outside here, outside this room.

" This is all I can tell you, princess," I say with a sigh, even if I wanted her to know about everything including her and me there is no way she could handle it with all the responsibility she has on her.

She needs to focus now that there are more enemies out there trying to take what belongs to her, her power.

" my people don't trust you yet", She shakes her head slightly standing up. Walking up to the shelf placed near her what seems like her ancestral family pictures. She bends and tells me to wait for a moment.

And I was rewarded with the view of her fine ass. Oh boy!

Run my hand roughly through my hair. I might need a cold shower now. I tear my gaze away from her the moment she picks up something from the floor, something sparkling.

I remind myself what I am here for, to protect her nothing more or less. I sighed shaking my head.

" you know Mr Miller," my eyes meet her eyes, while she seems to be trying to put on a gem neckless around her neck, I wait for her to continue. " let me help you," I say, leaving my chair and walking up to her.

Her doe eyes strike open to look at me, and her struggling hands pause. God, she is so gorgeous!

I stand right in front of her, so close that her wolf's fragrance hits my nostrils calming my senses but increasing my heartbeat as she continues to look at me searching in my eyes for any emotions.

She loosens her grip on the necklace but doesn't say a word, I move closer standing in the same way. I control my urge to pull her into my arms and keep my chin on her head.

If someone would have walked in on us right now, it would have looked like we are enjoying an intimate moment together. I mean my body towering over hers, I look over to her back snaking my arms around her neck.

Protectiveness spreads over my chest, this is my mate, my Lexi. I know she can feel my heartbeats increasing along with hers due to our closeness right now.

By the time I finish hooking up her necklace to her neck and let it settle on her beautiful glazing skin, I hear her sniff my fragrance.

I move back to look at her subconsciously leaning in my chest, I sniffle a soft giggle.

I look at her cautiously I know her wolf is calling out for mine, and it's so fucking strong that my heart aches for this longing we are feeling for each other.

But we know better it's won't be that easy for her to dwell on me right now. when she hates the idea of mating with a stranger so much, I am gonna earn all of her heart, her trust, her love. Fuck, i'll do anything to be with her.

I bring my finger under her chin moving her face to meet her gaze, " this gemstone necklace is gorgeous Princess but you know what is more precious and gorgeous than this," she is looking at me with curiosity and tenderness.

" Your heart," I whisper. Almost closing my eyes because of the feeling of her body so close to mine. I am afraid that i'll probably lose my control cause she is so close to me that I am practically breathing her in.

Before she could say anything or I could move any further we hear an abrupt knock on the door.

She panics and jerked away from me almost immediately knocking down the vase on the table.

I move back slowly to give her space so she could attend to whoever is at the door, after taking a minute she closes the door behind her and leans on it. I quietly observe her.

" see you are not allowed to do what you did just right now okay? ," I hear her words come out a little shaky and let them sink into my skin. Oh boy! That hurt.

I nod showing indifference, right now this is what she needs, and I don't care about her. I am okay with it as long as she decides to let me protect her and keep her safe i'll do anything she needs me to.

" Well, you were telling me something. Cause if you are finished I would like to rest for some time," I say without looking at her.

She is silent for a minute and then says," umm you can use the room next to mine that is the third room to your left from the hallway."

I simply move out of the room without giving her another glance. she needs space right now to think clearly, I remind myself.

I pause right outside the gate and look over my shoulder," and princess, make sure you wake up early from next week onwards cause I am going to train you properly," I say and move towards my room. I hear the door behind me shut loudly, making me sigh. Stubborn much?

This is gonna be so hard, fuck she is so stubborn. But the more stubborn, the more passionate the sex.

Oh god, no no I shake my head trying to shake this horny thought out of my brain, Closing my room's door behind me. Fuck, now I am freaking hard. I need a cold shower.

" you need to calm down buddy cause we ain't getting there for a very very long time, "I growl at my wolf.

But once I get my hands on her, she ain't getting any chance to escape from me ever. cause she will be mine, only mine. Mine to keep and love, mine to devour and taste.
