Chapter Three

***3 years later***
Today is my 21st birthday and I still look the same as if I were 18. My little Rosalinda is now 3 fixing to turn 4 in 2 months though she looks more like she is turning 7. Also, her intelligence has continued to grow at a rapid rate. Right now, she seems more like a little teenager. She still has not really started talking yet. It concerned me at first when she was not talking or anything after I brought her home three years ago, so I took her to the pack doctor, and he said she was perfectly fine just stubborn and did not want to talk. Even tried to bite his finger off for trying to look into her mouth. Only way he did was by giving her a Popsicle and a sucker.
She still has not talked though Jack likes to say otherwise. She also has gotten into the habit of sleeping in my bed with me...another thing my parents do not like. Though I feel it is mostly my mother and if the moon goddess wanted something else to happen it would. About a month after her first birthday, she figured out how to escape her bed and she went straight to my room and climbed on my chest and fell straight to sleep for a while. Then she started sleeping beside me at night now that she has gotten bigger.
Today I am going to try and get her to talk to me. Hopefully, it will be a good birthday for me. I have been wanting to hear my little Rosalinda’s voice for the last three years now.
***Rosalinda's P.O.V. ***
‘Yaayyyyyy!!!! It's Xavier’s birthday!!! I miss Xavier....I wonder where he went. Hmmm...OH are we playing hide and seek again?!?!! Let me go find him!!’
I start walking around the house looking for my Xavier, but I can't seem to find him. Hmmm...I wonder where he went. ‘Izabelle?? Do you know where Xavier went? I miss him!!’
“Well child how should I know. I am your wolf not a genie. I only know what you know but I miss him to. Do you want me to help you find him sweetie?”
‘Yes please!! I really really really miss him!!! And... and....I want him to hold me!!! And... And... I think I'm gonna cry....’
I sit down on the ground and start rubbing my eyes feeling like I am about to cry.
“Sweetie...please stop crying. I will help you find him and then we can get all the hugs you want. Alright??”
‘Okay...’
Izabelle takes over a bit and leads me straight to Xavier. I jump in his arms and hug him as tight as my little arms will let me.
“I think today you should tell him Rosie. He would really love it if you talked to him. Both he and his wolf really want to hear your voice.”
‘Is it safe? You don't think I'll tell him something he shouldn't know do you?’
“No sweetie. The moon goddess came and told me last night while you were sleeping that if you tell him everything. It is alright. He loves us. And he will protect us forever. He is our mate. We can trust him with everything.”
‘O... okay...’
"X…X…. Xavi…. hmmm…” I whispered frustrated I can’t get his name out. “M…Ma…. May-May…. Mate!”
"Did you.... Did you just say...." He started to ask while I nodded my head vehemently. He got a big grin on his face and hugged me as tight as he can without hurting me. He pulled me back and said, “Call me your mate again my little love. Or do you think you can call me by my name?”
I looked at him for a moment then tried saying his name again, “X…Xavi…. Xav-i-er…Xavier!”
Xavier’s face lit up with a big smile as he kissed all over my face with glee. I started to giggle after he started kissing my face from his beard tickling me so much. So in between giggles I squealed “Stop it May-May!!”
Xavier pulled back with his brows furrowed. “Who is May-May?”
I patted Xavier’s cheek and just looked at him. Finally understanding crossed his face as he asked, “Is that your way of saying mate?”
I nodded my head before burrowing my head into his chest for a nice long nap. ‘I have a feeling my wings are going to sprout soon and that’s going to take a lot of energy. What do you think Izzy??’
“I think you are right child. Now sleep, when you wake there will be things, we need to take care of.”
“Okay.” I thought and then went straight to sleep.
