Catherine’s POV~
The glaring of sunlight woke me from my peaceful sleep. I opened my eyes to come face to face with Alexander. He looked so peaceful and carefree while he was asleep. His arms were wound around my shoulders protectively.
I wrapped my arm around his torso and played with the little hair on his chest. I traced some irregular patterns on his chest and around his nipples.
I looked up his face and he was already looking at me with his dazzling smile. His ocean blue orbs held my brown one as his captive. The sunlight felt on his hair, making him look like a fallen angel. I brought my hands to his face and brushed his hair from his forehead. He watched my every move with a smile.
“Good morning, Baby,” he whispered groggily yet huskily with his sleepy voice which was the sexiest thing I have ever heard.
“Good morning,” I smiled at him in response. My face heated up instantly remembering about our first time together.
“Is my Sweet cheek blushing, right now?” he teased and began to laugh heartily at my flushed cheeks. I curled my fingers against his chest and buried my face in it. He chuckled softly. I could feel the vibration of his chuckle from his chest.
He pulled me closer to his face and softly kissed my both cheeks. He pressed his lips against mine and kissed me softly yet hungrily. My hands curled against his neck and pulled him closer to my face.
We both pulled away panting heaving and he grinned like a little boy which made my heart to skip a beat, my stomach did a weird flip and I would be so happy to die at this moment in his arms.
“I love you,” he whispered huskily and gave a quick peck on my lips which made me smile like an idiot.
“I love you, too” I softly whispered and kissed his forehead.
Alexander’s POV~
I got out of the bed and helped her to climb down. She wrapped the bed sheet around her.
She winced whenever she took a step forward. Unlike her, I stood in my naked glory and I scooped her in my arms, after all, I was responsible for her pain. She was caught off guard by my sudden action, which made her squeal.
“Alexander, what are you doing?” she shrieked. I chuckled at her and kissed the tip of her cute nose which made her scrunch her nose adorably. I laughed at her and made my way into the bathroom.
“Carrying my woman, of course,” I smirked when I saw her blushing hard.
I gently dropped her on her feet, “We could take a bath together,” I suggested with a wiggle of my eyebrows.
“What? No…take your own shower” she whispered breathlessly. Her cheeks were turning crimson red which made me laugh harder.
“You’re teasing me,” she accused with an adorable frown. I pinched her cheeks which made her swat my hands.
“Oh come on! Kitten, it’s not like I haven’t seen,” I chuckled.
“Mr Knight, please escort you out of this room,” she told me with a strict voice but her red cheeks told me otherwise. Before I could say something she slammed the door shut which made me chuckle.
I took a shower and changed in the next room. Last night was worst and great at the same time.
It was great because everything was clear between Catherine and I. Worst because of her granny, thinking about what she did to my woman made me clench my fist.
I knew that Mrs Brown was my Mate, Natalia’s granny and I also knew that Catherine was not aware of her granny being a werewolf but what I didn’t expect was that her trying to hurt, Catherine.
At first, I thought her granny was worried about me, being a broken man, who was avoiding the female population like a plague. I thought that she was trying to set Catherine with me without thinking about the consequences but, damn, I was wrong.
I never knew that she was waiting for me to hurt her all this time. Well, it was a disappointment for her because I don’t lay a finger on a female, revenge or not, I won’t because it questions my masculinity.
Being strong and producing an heir was not masculinity, the real masculinity lies in protecting the weak and respecting others.
I knew that I hurt her emotionally and I regret my action. The moment I came to know what happened to Catherine the previous night took my breath away. She suffered a lot and I was going to make sure that she was going to be happy to the rest of her life from now on.
I was glad that she forgot about her granny but once she interacted with everyone, I know that she would remember the bitter truth of reality. I was damn confused how that filthy Rogue escaped my dungeon. That fucking coward tried to rape my love. I was seeing red thinking about it. It was not possible until someone inside my mansion helped him to escape.
My brothers and their little family were going to stay here with me and Catherine until this Rogue problem comes to an end. I was excited to meet my little niece and nephew. I also arranged online classes for Catherine because it would be risky for her to visit her University.
Who might be the scum that dares to deceive me in my mansion?
