Bella's POV
After 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 jusBella'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"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
