The Alpha's fragile mate

Chapter 4

Xavier POV

Good evening Selene" came the deep velvety voice from the doorway. I looked up from my spot on the bed to see Xavier standing there, a soft smile on his face, his eyes the color of melting honey. They were hypnotizing.

"Evening," I replied, transfixed by his eyes. He was the perfect predator. One look into his eyes and the prey was hooked, unable to get away, perhaps some even idiotic enough to be unwilling to, I felt a wave of jealousy at the thought of other she-wolf eyes on my mate. I blushed at myself, embarrassed at my thoughts.

"Have you eaten yet?" he asked, breaking me from my thoughts as he walked further into the room.

"No, not yet as I fell asleep in the afternoon after taking a tour around the house, and it was tiring, only to wake up now and find out that it is now evening. " I was caught out of my rambling when I heard a soft chuckling sound coming from no other person, but Xavier, he looked so carefree with his eyes fixated on me with adoration like I am the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, laughing out loud he looked beautiful as his hard feat…ures became prominent. I wish I could tell him.

"Well, would you care to join us for a walk in the packed garden"? He asked

"Yeah I would love to" I replied, already standing up as the temperature in the room automatically went up, and I could not miss his eyes, which seemed to light up.

"Alright, I'll give you some time to freshen up. Would you be able to find your way downstairs" he asked.

"Yeah, I will be fine," I said as I remembered I had earlier counted the doors.

I made my way to the closet where I found some clothes to wear and tugged on a shirt as I wanted to enjoy the breeze and ignore the cold which stopped at my mid-thigh. I also wore a pair of joggers I found which were so big I had to tie the waist belt tight. After that much work, I felt tired, but I still wanted to see the garden, so I quickly washed my face, closed the door, and began counting the doors, and the next thing I knew, I was downstairs.

As I walked down the stairs, I noticed someone pacing back and forth. The person turned out to be Xavier, but I could not understand why. I didn't want to announce my presence as I felt he looked cute, but that didn't last long as he turned to look at me.

"I didn't know you were done. You could have told me you were standing there, let's proceed," he said as he stretched his hands towards me.

I could not think, so I flinched in fear and took up my hands to protect myself.

"I - am S sorry I just thought you were going to hit me," I said in a whisper as I felt myself being brought into his chest as he gently caressed my hair to calm me down.

"You don't have to be afraid of me. I would never hurt you. I just want to get to know you and I will be nothing but caring and I will protect you for the rest of our lives' he said in a gentle voice into my ears, to which I nodded.

"What was wrong with me?" Just a kind gesture, "I thought, as I put my little hands into his large ones. I hadn't expected the sparks that followed upon contact and I noticed that he felt it too, it was so nice that I never wanted to take my hands off his. What was I thinking?

He led the way through the tall hallway, after which we finally got to the garden. I was awed at the sight of how beautiful and magical the garden looked. It was more of an illusion than a reality. The roses were red and broad and beautiful. I wandered round the garden. I was excited but also sad the moment I lost contact with Xavier.

I walked around the garden feeling so free after a long time as I adored the flowers, they were so beautiful. The longer I walked through the garden the more I missed Xavier's touch, so I went back to find him later and found him sitting on the roots of a big tree staring directly at the moon.

"It's beautiful," I said unknowingly out loud as I sat close to Xavier,

"Yeah, it is" he replied, but then I realized that he was staring at me. I blushed uncontrollably and was later embarrassed at myself.

There we sat in comfort looking at the sky,

"As reality is down on me, this can't possibly be true what will become of me when he realizes how much of a runt I am," I thought as tears trickled down my face how I wished that this could last forever.

I was broken out of my thoughts as hands softly cleaned my tears and pulled me into his hard chest in an embrace as I broke into tears, "Whyy can't I just be happy" I said in between my hiccups as his hands slowly caressed my hair.

" I will make sure you are happy no matter what it takes, even if my life depends on it," he said with a hoarse voice like he was about losing control.

I rested my head on his chest as the sound of his heartbeat slowly calmed me down.

After a while, he offered that we should go back inside as he noticed i had begun to feel a little cold. After that, he wrapped his jacket around me and led me inside into the room and helped me prepare a hot bath, and then he left a kiss on my forehead.

"Good night, my love" he said. He left my room for where i guess is his room.

" What if he thought I was even weaker now, I shouldn't have done that " I thought as l took my bath and changed into his shirt as the only thing I could find and went to bed
