Lindsey's POV:
He led me upstairs towards his room. For some reason, he made me feel safe. But that does not mean that I was going to trust him. I have been through so much, that I can never trust again. When we were inside, he walked towards his bed and sat down. He looked at me, but I just stood there. I knew I was not allowed to sit on an Alpha's bed. He patted the space next to him, but I shook my head.
"I am not allowed to sit on an Alpha's bed." I said with a small voice while looking down.
He grabbed my hand, and pulled me down. I ended up falling on top of him, and I heard his breath leave him. I started laughing, but after 5 seconds, I stood up, and looked down.
"Sorry. I should not have laughed at you." I apologised.
"No need to be sorry. Of course you can laugh at me. I love your laugh. And of course you can sit on my bed. You are my bed, therefor everything that is mine, is yours." he replied.
I still looked down, and said nothing. He sighed and then I heard him talk again.
"What about a nice shower?" he suggested.
I did not look up.
"A mutt like me may not have a shower." I said.
"Nonsense. Come with me."
He took my hand and led me towards the nearest door. Inside was a huge bathroom. It had a shower, a toilet, bath, and literally every bath utensil that you could possibly need.
I looked up at him, and he nodded. He closed the door behind him. I looked around, and was hesitant at first. I could not remember when was the last time that I had a decent shower. I stripped off al my clothes, and threw it in the nearest bin. I did not want to remember my past. I climbed in the shower, and started washing away all the mud and muck. I washed my hair with his mint shampoo end coconut conditioner, and hoped that I would not get punished.
After showering for almost an hour, I climbed out and went back inside his room. On the bed there was fresh clothes and a little note. It read:
"I hope you enjoyed the shower."
I smiled a little bit, and put on the clothes. I looked in the mirror. I was still fat and ugly, but I loved the new clothes. I went downstairs and the most intoxicating scent filled my nose. It came from him. I blushed at the site in front of me. He was shirtless. He has the most gorgeous black hair, with beautiful abs that covered his whole body.
Marco's POV:
I went downstairs and ordered the cook to not make food tonight. I wanted to cook for my mate. While I was cooking, I could smell her amazing scent. I could feel her presence behind me and I felt her eyes checking me out.
"Like what you see?" I asked, while turning around. A playful smirk starting on my lips.
She blushed a little while looking away.
"So-oorry. I did not mean too." she stuttered.
I frowned.
"Of course you may check me out. You are my mate and I belong to you. Now, are you hungry?" I asked while placing a bowl of food in front of her.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the food. I may have even heard her stomach growl. But then I saw her eyes hold sadness. She looked down.
"To whom must I take this food?" she asked me.
"No one. This food is yours. I made it just for you."
"I cannot eat it. I am not allowed to eat the Alpha's nor the Pack's food..."
I turned around, and anger took over. I felt my eyes turning red, and I knew Luke wanted out. I heard her started crying. I supressed my anger and went over to her. I pulled her into a tight hug.
"I am sorry. It just makes me angry to hear that those bastards starved you."
She shook her head.
"They did not starve me. They gave me their scraps. But I am fat, so I ate just a little bit. I already look like the fattest cow in the pasture, so I did not want to eat all that scarps." she said.
I pulled her in tighter.
"You are not fat my Angel. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. And even if you were as fat as a cow, I would still love you, and you would still be the most beautiful cow. Please, take a seat and eat with me. Even if it is just a little bit."
She giggled and nodded. Man, how I love her giggle. It is so adorable! She sat down, and started eating. She only too two bites of the steak, and one bite of the vegetables, before saying that she is full. I gave her a concerned look, but did not force her to eat that much. I smiled at her and started eating my food. She waited patiently for me to finish. When I was done, she took the dishes, and went to go wash them.
I stood, wand walked behind her. When she was one washing, I took the clean dished and went to go put them away. She looked at me.
"It is my job to wash and put away all the dishes. Please, go sit down and let me take care of it Alpha."
"No my Angel. I will not let you wash the dishes alone, nor will you call me Alpha again. You are my equal, and I am yours. Call me Marco." I said with a smile. I went to go put away the dishes.
I heard her whisper..
"My name is Lindsey."
And I smiled. She had the most beautiful name...
