Becca's POV
After we finished our meal, Kade was quite full so he slept almost immediately, laying his little head on my lap. I called a maid and had her take him over to my room to sleep as Dax said he had something to talk about. He said it wasn't something serious, he just wanted us to talk. And I could really use a talk because I had nothing to do and tomorrow would be a long and stressful day for me at the hospital so I would have to enjoy every day at home before the weekdays started as I would have to work most of the time.
After some minutes the maid came back to tell us that she had done exactly what we told her to do. Knowing that Kade was already sound asleep and sorted I dismissed her and she made a light bow and left.
Again with the bow.
"Why do people always bow so much? I find it very disturbing. Can you tell them to stop?" I told Dax who was pulling off his shirt right in front of me as I saw a slight scar on his left arm. It was deep but although it healed it still looked very painful.
He looked back at me and answered my question.
"They always bow because that's what they are meant to do, it was when things were down and they didn't need to be told before paying respect." He said plainly holding a towel by his shoulder but his Shorts were still on so there was no cause for alarm.
His eyes looked very intimidating and cunning and I couldn't make do with what was going on in his mind. I brushed off all my thoughts and focused on the conversation we were having.
"But still I don't like it, I don't need any respect from them. You are the Alpha and you deserve the bowing but I don't so I find it quite disturbing and unnecessary." I still said disputing the fact that it was merely a sign of respect and nothing more.
"You would have to learn to live with it because as the mother of my child, you deserve the respect, and do you think Kade doesn't get the bowing too? Well, he's my son and my only son at the moment so apparently, he is my heir and he is doing quite well with the bowing because no maid or any member of the pack would see him and won't make a slight comment if not a full one to show respect. I would have the person beheaded." He said in a voice explaining but I could feel the atom of seriousness evident in his voice.
"So even Kade would be respected? He's just a baby. So many new things." I muttered but he heard and he laughed out. He went into his room and called me From the living room.
"Come in." He said from inside the room and I went in.
This was the first time I would be inside his room and I must say it was breathtaking. The decor and style were all very beautiful and looked so expensive. And the bed looked so fluffy and comfortable like a marshmallow, immediately I slept on it. It would sink me into its comfortable and appealing embrace, I couldn't stop myself from walking over to it and sitting on It and it was paradise at par. He noticed this and smiled.
"If you like the room so much you can move in. I do get tired of sleeping all alone." He said with a cunning smile on his face and I slightly blushed. It would be a great offer to be able to sleep in this type of room but I just couldn't.
"I can't stay here, what about Kade? I need to be with him." I said thinking that was a reasonable excuse to give.
"That's not an excuse he can also sleep here, I don't mind the both of you being here or we can just make him a different section with a lot of toys and besides he is no longer a baby he should be able to sleep alone." He said taking a seat with me on the bed.
"I'll consider it," I said as my eyes caught a glimpse of his scar once more and I was really so curious about what happened. He noticed my eyes on his scar and slightly brushed it and I could see the pain in his eyes. His eyes might be hooded but it was clear as day. However, at the same instant, he schooled them blank, almost like they weren't there a nanosecond ago.
"What happened to you there?" I hesitantly placed my hands on the scat as I asked the question.
"I'll tell you. It explains why people say I've been cold ever since." He said, pushing my hands forward, placing it on his chest, right on the scar as I could feel his steady heartbeat.
I was touching his arm. I touched the scar carefully, it was very deep like his arm wanted to be cut off. But it had already healed.
He sighed and I looked up straight into his eyes. it was like a magnet force, pulling me closer before I snapped back into reality.
“When I was still an omega, I wanted to be the alpha really bad but it was Shawn that was the alpha at that time, and as the omega, I was like a punching bag to the others in the pack. I couldn’t do anything and let them beat me up. I fell in love with someone” he said and I didn’t like the sound of him falling in love with someone else even if it was before.
The sour feeling of jealousy.
“I didn’t tell her though but she ended up being killed by one of the pack members because she refused to sleep with him, I was so enraged that I fought with a beta,” he said and I gasped.
“As we were fighting, he was stronger than me, then he took a blade which was forged in the furnace and struck me with it. He beat me up badly, I was close to death, but I survived it and I became icy cold since then” he finished and I didn’t notice tears rolling down my face.
“How could they be so cruel,” I said and I sniffled, he looked down at me, “why are you crying?” He asked. “It’s just that, it was very rough and I’m a bit sensitive when it comes to stories like that” I replied and he pulled me into his embrace on his bare chest. “I’m fine now,” he said and I nodded, still resting my head on his chest.
We stayed like that before I pulled away and blushed when I saw his n***d chest again. He had a well-defined and toned body.
‘Drool worthy’ I thought to myself, he must have noticed my drooling over him, and he coughed, I didn’t even my hands trailed his shoulder to his abs, his very toned abs, he definitely had the body of a Greek god. I heard a soft gasp from him and he grabbed my hand and I looked up at him.
“Don’t do that” he said and I moved back embarrassingly and scratched the back of my neck realizing what I just did, then I covered my eyes. “Put on a shirt, would you,” I said, did I just command an alpha, oh great heavens. I opened my eyes and turned around to give him privacy.
I heard him chuckle before walking towards a closet and I saw his back. “Are you done?” I asked and I heard an “mhm” from him. He wore a black shirt which was as black as the abyss of darkness and very manly, it complimented his strong aura too. “ So black” I found myself blurting out and he laughed. His laugh was really attractive with those pearly white teeth. I just found myself smiling too.
“So, are you going to move in?” He asked and I was dumbfounded, “I’ll think about it but for now I’m going to Kade,” I said and walked towards the door but he was in front of me already. ‘ How’ I thought to myself. “Leaving so soon,” he said with a smug smile, he moved closer and I moved backward before I hit a random stool and almost fell but he caught me just in time. His face was just inches away from mine, I stared at his face down to his lips. ‘Kiss him’ I thought, no no why would I have such perverted thoughts?
“Stop drooling,” he said and I blushed. I composed myself and ran to the door and went out to the living room and outside the room. I heard a loud chuckle from him and I smiled too as I rested on the door. “Bully,” I said to myself. I opened the door again and he saw me, “Tell the Maids to stop bowing to Kade” I said with a serious face and he just grinned. I ignored him and closed the door.
I went down the hall to my room smiling. Kade was lying there on the queen size bed as he owned it. I laughed. I thought about what he said, ‘moving in’ hm. If we moved into his room, I could imagine what could happen if Kade saw something he shouldn’t see but he did say he could have a separate section, what about me?
‘He wants us to sleep on the same bed?!’ I thought to myself, no way it was going to happen. I remembered his face when he caught me and his toned body. I could bet women would fall on their knees if they ever saw his attractive body. He almost seduced me right there in his room and I almost fell for it.
And his story, he fell in love once I wonder who he fell in love with. And I felt jealous when he said that, she must have not deserved to die. I couldn’t imagine what would happen to me if Shawn had died while were dating.
If we moved into his room, Kade would definitely be very excited even if I asked him about it he wouldn’t hesitate to say yes since he had grown really fond of Dax. I stared at his sleeping face, he looked like his dad, just as handsome and he would grow up even more handsome.
