Alexia Eden(76)

“How about we take a quick shower?” I ask him as he lifts his head. I smile at him and he gives me a toothy grin back. He throws the blankets off and picks me up, rushing over to the bathroom in our naked glory with me giggling all the way there.

We stand in the tub and I make sure the water coming from the shower is the perfect temperature as he gives me soft kisses along my shoulders. I move so we both are under the shower water and he gently starts to rub soap all over my body with the sponge, once he’s done I do the same to him. It’s an intimate act and I feel so comfortable being naked with him, he pulls me to his chest as he looks into my eyes with his loving ones.

“I love you so much Lex, I can’t ever lose you again. I don’t want to live if you’re not with me…I wana be with you forever baby. I love you so much…I’m so sorry for that night. Lexi I will NEVER hurt you, I never want to make you so scared of me that you run away, I don’t think I can live through that again.” he starts to whisper and I watch carefully as a tear falls down his cheek, I reach up and give him a kiss and wipe away the stray tear.

“Drake I love you more than you can imagine and I trust you more than you think. I love you and I wana be with you forever-ever.” I say and smile at him. He brings me in for a hug then puts the water off after we're done and wraps me in a towel. We go into my room and he dry’s me off then puts his shirt on me. I walk to my drawer to get underwear and pick out a pair of boy shorts. Heading back to my bed I find Drake already under the covers waiting for me with his arms open. I climb inside and as I lift the blanket I notice he’s naked underneath.

“Why weren’t you wearing boxers today?” I ask him and he tenses next to me then stutters. “I heard you were back while I was in a shower and I rushed to come here.” He says and I can’t help but feel that’s he’s not being honest with me.

“Drake? You haven’t found your mate yet have you?” I ask him looking up. His jaw tenses and he blinks a couple of times, my question obviously taking him off guard.

“No Lex I haven’t.” he says as he looks down sadly at me.

“What will happen to us….when you do?” I whisper afraid my voice might break because the tears I’m holding in might fall if I have to think about losing him.

“Nothing babe, I have you, I don’t need a mate Lex… my wolf and I love YOU we only want YOU and we need YOU.” he says as he gives me a hard kiss.

“Promise me Drake, I know how strong the mate bond is….I’ve seen it and I’m not stupid. Please promise me you will at least try to make us work when you find her? I…I don’t want to get a…attached to you and then have you leave me….you can’t leave me too Drake…I need you.” I whisper against his chest and I can feel his eyes staring down at me. He kisses my head and says in his deep sexy voice.

“Babe I promise that I will ONLY ever want YOU, I’m strong Lex and so is Sebastian and we both love you so very much. Look how Jax is with Ronny, some mates aren’t meant to be and as far as we are concerned…YOU are our mate.”

“Sebastian is your wolf? He loves me too?” I ask and Drake smiles as I see his eyes shift colours back and forth fighting for control over his wolf.

“I loved you from the moment I saw you at the waterfall Alexia.” Drake says in a different tone than usual, his eyes are dark brown now and I’m guessing its Sebastian talking not Drake.

“I love you too…Sebastian…” I smile and he roughly holds me and nuzzles my neck.

Drake falls asleep holding me tight, his heart is pounding so hard that I can feel it against my ear while I fall asleep to the sweet lullaby of his thumping heart.





CHAPTER 27:

I spend the rest of the weekend and most of the following week with all my friends hanging around, going to the mall, cinema and staying at their house. Frankie and Scarlett as well as Drakes parents invited me in with open arms and apologized for the way their children decided to spring the whole wolf thing on me.

I decide to spend the rest of the school break with them, I’ve still got to tell them about not going to school with them after breaks over and that I am most probably going to move in with Alex too. Georgina has been avoiding me since our dinner on Friday and I’ve hardly seen her but she can’t run forever.

It’s around midday the following Saturday and it’s a really hot day so we decide to hit the beach, apparently most of the teens of the pack are already down there. I decide to wear my black and purple bikini covered by denim shorts and a plain black shirt that falls off my one shoulder.
