I was rooted to my spot, thinking about what she said earlier, my eyes were unfocused and cast downwards.
“Catherine, please don’t mind her,” Alexander consoled me. I didn’t know that I was crying until he wiped my tear-stained cheeks.
“But she is right, I’m a human, I can’t give you a child,” I whispered with defeat.
He took my hand and weaved his fingers with mine and kissed the back of my palm gently. He made me sit on his couch and kneed in front of me,
“Catherine…” he dragged my name “Are you concerned about me not becoming a father?” I looked down at my lap and nodded.
“Sweetcheeks, I don’t mind.” He squeezed my hand with assurance. He was lying. I noticed the longing in his face while he played with Eric.
“You are more than enough for me, you’ll make a good Luna for my pack because you’re kind, gentle and you comfort people.” His blue orbs stared straight into my brown one with so much sincerity.
“You give me peace, my wolf is at a control when I’m with you and I know you are not my other half but you soothe my wrecked soul.” He continued rubbing the pad of his thumb behind my palm. I didn’t say anything and my waterfall didn’t stop either.
“We, werewolves are possessive, strong and over-protective but you are a fragile little human and that makes me protect you like my own daughter.” His latter part made me look at his handsome face and without thinking I threw my arms around his neck.
It made him tumble down and land on his butt. He pulled me to his lap and rocked me back and forth in his tight embrace.
“Alexander…” I sobbed. This man deserves every good thing in this universe.
“Shh…you are more than enough for me, Sweetcheeks,” he drew soothing circles on my back and kissed my temple, I clutched his shirt in my tiny fist.
“Can I ask you something?” I whispered in a weak voice for which he hummed in response “Why can’t a human and a werewolf have kids?” I asked him.
“It’s not they can’t, It’s just human male can impregnate a female werewolf but for a human female it’s different” his answer etched me with confusion.
“Why is that?” I scrunched my face with confusion.
“Since the human female is carrying the child, their uterus is not strong enough to hold our pup…I mean our child.” He told me which gave me little hope.
“You know we can always try,” he wiggled his eyebrows playfully to lighten up the mood, which made me chuckle and swat his chest.
“Now give me that beautiful dimpled smile of yours,” he told me and began tickling at my sides, which made me laugh. I was rolling on the floor with Alexander hovering above and kept on doing his sweet torture.
“Alex…Alexander” I laugh harder “Stop…Please, stop!” I yelled at him in between my laughter. His living room was filled with our laughter, soon our laughter dies and we both gazed at each other in a trance.
He tugged my hair behind my ears and slammed his lips against mine, his hands went under my shirt and caressed my stomach but our moment was cut short due to my stomach’s grumble.
“Looks like someone is hungry,” he teased which made me blush crimson red. He shook his head with a chuckle and pecked my lips one last time and helped me on my feet.
We both ate our pasta with small talk and our dinner was filled with tease and laughter. After dinner, he drove me to my granny’s home and now I’m standing in front of my granny’s porch and he was standing near me with his hands tucked in his pocket with a smirk.
“Xander, I don’t have your phone number,” I complained.
“I see,” he took his phone out of his pocket and handed me with a teasing smirk, I saved my number in his iPhone and texted from his phone to mine to save his number.
I handed his mobile and was about to open the front door and get inside but before that, I rushed by his side and kissed his cheeks on my tiptoes and sprinted into my home, I heard him chuckle with amusement.
After he drove off, my granny interrogated me with a teasing smile. I guess someone was interested in my love life. I texted Rachel and bugged her until she forgave me, she accepted my apology on one condition that was to buy her pizza tomorrow which I reluctantly accepted.
That night, I dreamed of one particular blue-eyed werewolf who holds the entire ocean as his captive along with me.
My heart was swelled with contentment and my cheeks hurt from smiling. I felt into a deep slumber thinking about my man.
