“Alexander…” I say smiling walking down the steps over to him making him stand up straight with his smirk drop and being replaced with a neutral expression. “How are you?” I ask politely when I was in front of him, making Noah scoff, which I choose to ignore “I’m fine wailer… how are you?“ Alex says smirking down at me making me blush “I did not wail, and I'm well thank you. for asking” I say quietly in amusement remembering the circumstances of our meeting as we stare unblinkingly at each other as countless questions swirl in my mind. He was the Alpha of Hybrids, He Alpha of the Barbarian Pack, He was the Alpha that protected me and hid me within his pack when I went into hiding and he was the man that I couldn't forget that haunted every part of my dreams. I wasn't sure how long I was gawking at him but It must have been a while because I could smell Noah's jealousy and Alexander was no longer smirking down at me he had a small genuine smile while his eyes danced with a mixture of

I was heading back towards the house when I see Selene and Taylor rushing out the back door running toward me, I easily sweep up Taylor in my arms as Selene hugged my legs. I instantly crouch down spreading kisses over their cheeks before burying them tightly in hugs“how are my beautiful girls?” I cooed pulling back as Thomas's and Octavia's stood before me, bright-eyed. "We fine Aunty Emi..." Taylor says making me chuckle while Selene shyly blushes "fwne..." Selene says making me chuckle at her small baby voice. I picked her up while I held Tay's hands walking us back inside but within seconds of entering the house Selene is plucked from my arms and Taylor hand is removed from mine and I am pulled into a bone-crushing hug that I fiercely return inhaling the scent of moss and pine. I pull back after some time looking at Thomas who kisses the top of my head before I’m pulled into another hug by Octavia who kisses my cheek “I’ve missed you..” she says making me chuckle as we do a weird

We park in a private parking and I open my door about to get out when Alex stops me “let me help.” He instructs as he quickly gets out and closes his door coming around to my side to help me down and therafter closes the door behind me. He cups my hand gently walking us into the elevator an awaiting elevator, pressing a button as we stand in somewhat awkward silence. “we dining in a private room, so we can have some privacy.” He says quietly staring straight ahead “oki…” I squeak nervously biting my lower lip not knowing what to expect The elevator finally dings opens, and welcomes us into a grand foyer. Alex gently pulls me out briefly letting go of my hand to talk to the hostess, a very tall blonde eyeing me in displeasure and eyeing Alex with lust, while I gapped at the beautiful interior. It was very classy with low warm lights, red wine walls with black and gold accents, I was amazed at the beautiful interior, but what caught my attention was the artistic ceiling that was pain

Dustin walked in a few minutes later rolling in dessert, I send him a small smile as he quickly cleans up the table and was about to serve dessert when Alex stops him “send this back to the kitchen, pack up it up separately after you cut a few slices which should be packed with mine, and Get my and my woman’s coat.” he barks at Dustin who nods rapidly and rushes out again with the desserts trolley as I look on sadly at the disappearing dessert that I was waiting to gobble up as soon as I smelt it, but then something else came to mind when I think about scents “can you stop making that poor boy so nervous?" I say to Alex as he scoffs “He is on punishment. Don’t feel sorry for him.” Alex says and I tilted my head at him curiously in question making Alex sigh “he went in the woods without permission and alone got himself surrounded by rogues. Collen had to save his ass because he has shifted yet.” I nod understandably remembering the amount of time Ian and Thomas and I got into trouble

As the night worn on Alex showered and changed , and said I could as well, “I have nothing to wear.” “you can wear anything from my closet” So I shrugged thinking why not my dress was already ruined and I could wear my coat over. I put on the same bra but not underwear. I slipped on his shirt and boxes that he left out and yawned tiredly following his scent downstairs where he was making coffee and I couldn't help admire him still not being able to believe that he was all mine. We cuddled into the couch eating our dessert, laughing quietly about my childhood memories while soft disney instrumental music played in the background. We curled up the couch when we were done, I sighed blissfully at this new found peace. “do you still have that chain your dad bought for you?” I yawned tiredly into his shoulder nodding “the teardrop one?” I ask and he nods playing with my hair “hmmm… I remember you were said it was your favorite piece of jewellery.” I frown at that “it was m
