His Surprise Mate

Chapter 12 The Green eyed Monster

Rebekah

Dear Diary

I am trying to accommodate to my new surroundings but I miss my friends and the life I had back in the countryside. It's only been 2 days since I landed here and my whole life had flipped upside-down. I miss Marissa and Brain so much. God I miss my guitar.

Aaron is trying to make me trust him and is being a total gentleman but I just can't help thinking if this is all an act. I know I have trust issues but we are talking about the Alpha King here and his reputation is not so good. And his acceptance is making me think everything twice. His first reaction is to reject me and now he is thankful it didn't work and is so hell bent on having a relationship with me. I am finding this so suspicious and everything in me screaming that he has an ulterior motive. One of my theories is that he is simply gonna use me for an heir for his kingdom and another one includes me being a pawn in one of his game.

Everything is just to fast. I don't know if this my imagination that Aaron In front of me is just too good to be true or he is actually nice and I am overthinking.

Anyways so here I am, in Aaron's bed, writing to you and he is furiously typing on his laptop across me. After he bought me to his room last night, yes I am still not comfortable calling it ours, he sent to change into my night dress and when I came back he was gone. All I found was a note saying that he has to look in some rogue matter and he will be back soon.

I don't know when he came back but when I woke up an hour ago he was sitting on the sofa with his laptop and barely looked at me and wished me good morning.

He did ask if I want breakfast served here but I declined cause it's only 8 right now and I don't like eating anything until 10, so here I am writing to you and I guess this will be all for now, I will be back with more news and of I am wrong or right about Aaron. Stay tuned.

Bye.

.....

"You are going to break the laptop if you keep typing like this." I say to after putting my diary in my bag.

"It will be fine. Anyways, I am done with. Would you like to get some breakfast now. You fell asleep after tea last night and didn't even had dinner."

"I am fine but I guess I'd like a cup of coffee now and I was so tired and all this seems to much so I slept. It's such a good solution to everything."

"Sleeping is never a solution, Rebekah."

"Maybe not for everyone but it is for me. I love it." How can someone not love sleeping. It is like a pause button when life feels too much.

"You are so different." Aaron says with so much tenderness that I completely forget about about my rant in my diary I wrote two minutes ago and the green eyes which scared me to death starts to seem like a safe place. He brings his hand and pushes my hair out of my face and behind my ear. It is then I realize how close we are to each other.

I expected him to kiss me but what he says next gives me a shock beyond recovery.

"I have been seeing brown eyes in my dreams and I always thought why brown? But now that you are standing right infront of, I know why. They were your eyes Rebekah and I was always meant to find you."

"For how long"

"What?"

"For how long have you been seeing my eyes?" I ask again.

Aaron thinks for a second. "Around 12 to 15 years now. Why?"

"Because I have been seeing your green eyes since my 7th birthday and they scared me so much that I used to cry to dad that there is a green eyed monster in my dreams who is coming to get me. I became so paranoid that I threw out every green thing in our home at one point and even started to hate plants and trees." I feel something wet on my cheek and bring my hand to wipe it but Aaron stops it and brings his own thumb to wipe my tear.

"I am not going to lie to you Rebekah. I have done things which make me a monster but I did them because I had to and I because I have a kingdom to protect but I am so much more. I give you my word, sweetheart, I would never do anything that might remotely hurt you. Yes, we have a long way ahead but I promise you that you will be happy and never scared of anything or anyone ever again, especially me." Aaron says while still stroking my cheek.

Something happens in that very moment and I feel a pull towards him. I don't know what what takes over me but I jump at him and hug him like my life depends on him.

Aaron doesn't take a second to wrap his arms around me kisses me on my head. He somehow became an anchor to me after his so not romantic-monster confession but I know something for sure now. I won't be able to leave him now, even if I planned to.

......

Aaron

Rebekah hugged me so suddenly that I couldn't register it in my brain but my arms went around her in a second. I can't even think what she had to go through because of my f*****g eyes, but I know for sure that is she so strong and right now she is letting in her world by being this vulnerable.

"I am so sorry about scaring you" I say rubbing her back and she only chuckles at that.

I take her hands in mine and kiss them, to which she blushes so hard that it makes me want to kiss her so bad but I refrain and ask her if she would like to see my library to which she immediately agrees.

I take her to my kitchen first. She rally needs to have some food now. She remains quite as I move around the kitchen to gather ingredients for sandwiches and start the coffee machine but when I start cutting the vegetables she comes and stand beside me.

"You know how to cut vegetables?" She asks.

"Why wouldn't I know how to cut vegetables?" I ask back.

"uhmmmm.. I don't know. Maybe because you are the Alpha King and from what I heard Alphas don't lift a finger much less cut vegetables." She says nonchalantly.

"Well, I already told you that I am so much more than what the people paint me to be and I only don't know how to cut vegetables but I know how to cook proper, good and delicious food. I have lived a long life and picked some skills along the way." I say winking at Rebekah, she blushes and turns away to look out the window at the ocean. Oh, how much I love making her blush.

I finish making sandwiches and serve her and when she says she loves them, it makes my day. We sat there for a while and chatted about how much she loves the ocean and think if I should tell her that she smells like it too but than save it for some other time and let her talk instead.

Rebekah

Never in my wildest dreams I could have thought that Aaron could cook. He us giving me surprises again and again. First him telling me about my eyes then cooking and now the library.

He has converted the whole floor into a library and it looks straight out Disney's Beauty and The Beast but so much better with little modern touches here and there.

"Holy Godddd!!!!!! You have a moving staircase." I feel like I am in a reader's paradise. Everything about the library is elegant, from the brown bookshelves to the back leather sofas and glass tables.

"Out of everything, you are thrilled by a staircase here." Aaron came behind me as I was taking out a book.

"Well, I have always wanted one and it just looks cool."

"Well, now you have three."

"You mean you have three Aaron."

"No, I mean you have three. Everything I own I yours sweetheart." Aaron says with so much authority that I turn to face him but as soon as I do, he pushes me back on the shelf and captures my lips. Of all the kisses I've shared with him, this one is going to be my favorite because I felt like he poured all his feelings into this one.

I don't know for how long we made out standing there. We stopped when we heard a loud thud from outside.

Gone was the Aaron who kissed the life out of me and standing in front of me was a completely different person. He took my hand, literally dragged me towards the other end of the library, moved a couple of books, revealing a keypad and typed something. I am so shocked with the sudden change in his demeanor that I forget all my fight and let him put me in the room which he just opened.

"You'll be safe here. There has been an attack on the Border of the territory. I'll be back soon. Please stay here. I'll come get you. Ok?"

"OK."

Aaron kisses my forehead, turns and leave without another word and I just stand there completely dumbfounded.

I take a look around me and see that Aaron freaking locked me in a secret office in his library and we are under attack. Aaron freaking locked me in an office and I let him.

Am I really letting my guards down this much that I don't even realize what he just did. Am I really letting him in my world this much that I actually felt safe when he said it and am I really trusting him this much that I let him take control and lock me.

I totally am. Let's just hope this trust doesn't came back and bite me in the ass.
