Scarlett:
I raised myself to look at Alexander as I realized that I was asleep on his chest.
His right arm was wrapped around me, despite it being loose, his face relaxed, and his heartbeat steady. I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my lips before I blushed, realizing that this was the first time I’ve slept in a man’s bed in my life.
The night Alexander took my virginity, he walked out of my house as if it was nothing, leaving to sob all night long. Therefore, to wake up in his arms now just felt surreal. My wolf, who has been broken since the rejection, grew confused at his attitude. She had blocked me during the time being alone, and during the pregnancy, only ensuring to keep me strong to ensure that I didn’t lose Anastasia while pregnant.
I slowly got up from Alexander’s arms, careful not to wake him up, before I walked toward Nasia’s crib to find her awake, staring up at me. Her eyes met mine and I couldn’t help but smile as I lifted her in my arms. She cooed, and I kissed her cheek before hearing Alexander’s breathing unevenly.
I could hear him getting out of bed before taking a step to stand behind me. He put a hand on my shoulder, making my heart skip a beat “did she wake you?”
His voice was deep with sleep, and gently squeezing my shoulder, I couldn’t help but feel like old times when 1 would sometimes be distracted by something and he would either put his hand on my shoulder or wrap his arms around me from the back. Our attitude was one of the main reasons why everyone thought that we were a couple.
“No, she was staring at the ceiling when I woke up. I was actually surprised to see that she was awake without making a sound, usually she would whimper or coo” I said, smiling when he put his hand on her belly, gently rubbing it.
“I believe that she felt somewhat safe with both her parents by her side. You know, as a wolf, she’s catching our scents, and knowing that we were both beside her gave her a sense of contentment, somehow” Alexander said and I nodded in agreement. Alexander removed his hand from my shoulder, and turning around to face him, I smiled when he looked down at her, then at me, silently asking me whether or not he could carry her. I nodded and handed her to him, smiling when Anastasia hummed before taking her father’s finger in her hand.
“I’ll freshen up and come and take her to feed her, can you please hold her for a bit?” I asked, looking down at his chest, avoiding his eyes in fear of an out lash that I didn’t want to deal with, The man and I were barely making sense into actually talking to one another and the LAST thing I needed was for him to suddenly be angry with me.
“Sure, then I was thinking that the two of us can go and have breakfast together? You know, outside the house for a change” he said, and I frowned, looking up at him to process whether or not I heard him right.
“What about Nasia?” I asked, looking down at our daughter, making him smile. The fact that he was inviting me out for breakfast was overwhelming enough, and judging by the fact that the two of us were still walking on murky waters, I knew that I shouldn’t be all too confident about this.
I am sure that mom wouldn’t mind taking her for a few hours. Plus, I need to make up the fact that the two of us were supposed to be getting things…”
You and I already talked about this, Alexander, and we don’t need to keep bringing it up. Yes, I am not going to tell you that it has all gone forgotten, not in that sense yet; but at least the two of us managed to finally have a proper conversation as two adults” I said, stopping him. I looked at Anastasia who kept looking between Alexander and I, listening to our voices. I smiled and stood on my toes to kiss her cheek before looking at Alex who was watching me “I’ll go and freshen up then get ready. We can drop Nasia to your mum’s house when we’re on the way, how about it?”
“Sounds like a plan” Alexander said, smiling at me I smiled and nodded before taking a step back, heading to my room as I processed what just happened as my heart raced, my wolf anticipating more than she should at the moment; however, I couldn’t blame her, even I was losing my normal cautious side.
Did he just ask me out on a date?
“Where are we going?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest as the two of us walked out of the car. Alexander parked the car at a park, and heading toward the car’s trunk, he opened it and puhcid out a picnic basket making my eyes widen in surprise.
“We are going to have a picnic like we used to when we were kids” he said, making my cheeks redden as my heart skipped a beat. The man who was yelling at me for weeks now was actually taking me to the park for a picnic?
“You’re being serious?” I asked and he smiled, turning to face me.
“Yes, I am. I used to remember how much you enjoyed it when we did go to picnics, and I figured that after everything that you’ve taken for me, I might as well make it up to you. Plus, I think that since we came clean on everything yesterday, we might as well be able to try and make things right between us” he said, looking me in the eye. My wolf shied back, whimpering before I could stop her, making Alexander frown in confusion.
“I am sorry, my wolf isn’t believing that this is true after…”
“I can’t blame her” he said, stopping me, giving me a weak smile “believe it or not, my wolf felt the same pain the night I rejected you, and the fact that you accepted the rejection so easily only made this harder on me; however, I understood last night that you had your reasons to that”
“As I said, Alex, I wanted, and still want you to be happy. I know that I may sound foolish to some, but your happiness, as my Alpha, mattered more than mine mattered to me. Yes, it is ridiculous, and yes, should have known that the rejection was coming since you had delilah…”
“I no longer have Delilah in my life, Scarlett” he said, stopping me “I know that you might doubt my word now, and I can’t blame you for it; but I made my choice last night”
“Your choice?” I asked, frowning in confusion.
“Whether or not the two of us decide to be together. I cannot be with Delilah” Alexander said, making me frown in confusion “maybe things would change in the future, and maybe I would change my mind too; however, for now, if I want to ensure my daughter’s safety, I can’t be with a woman who I know would see her as a threat instead of a child”
“Why would she see her as a threat? I’m sorry for asking, and if I sound stupid with my question, but what could my daughter do to harm her?” I asked, shaking my head in confusion, ing to process his words
“It is not Nasia that is the threat, Scarlett” he said, guiding me toward one of the trees “you are”
“Me?” My heart raced against my ribcage as I tried to follow up to what he was saying. The fact that he was being honest with me was something that I was grateful for, I couldn’t deny that; however, I couldn’t help but worry about what he meant and what he was talking about to begin with.
“Yes, and Anastasia would always be the reminder of that threat” he said, answering my question “and for that, I would rather I choose to stay away from her than have her…”
