He said, the moon goddess paired us

Chapter 20

Xander's POV

A few moments passed. It must have been the longest moment of my life. She was still in shock.

"My love, please say something. I need to know you are fine.Can you blink for me? Can you can hear me?" Nothing...

" Please blink if you can hear me". And, she blinked, once andthen twice. I walked to my closet and put on a sweatpant. My boxer had ripped when I shifted. I returned to find her looking at the empty space where I stood once. I wanted to hold her in my arms but I was not sure of myself. We stood there in the silence, every second of it was killing me. If only I could know what was going on inside that beautiful head.

"My love, I love you. I still feel the same way about you. Nothing will change, I promise. Everything will be just like before. I will never hurt you. I and my wolf will protect you till our last breath. Please accept us.", I kneeled down in front of her, a sign of total submission. I stayed kneeling while she sat on the bed, lost and frozen. She has not moved since I shifted. It was starting to worry me. I watched her helplessly, wishing to be a simple human like her for the first time in my existence.

Minutes passed, but none of us moved from our place. The sand of time slid away silently. "Alexander, get up. Your knee will hurt." She spoke, more of a whisper but I heard her anyway. She did not look at me at all and it hurt me somehow. I did not move but spoke,

"Please my love, don't reject us. I love you more than anything. It was not my fault that I am this way. It is not my fault that I love you. Please accept me and I will worship you till I die." Both understood that I was kneeling and begging for her acceptance. Silence followed and we stayed in our thoughts, her on bed and me on the floor kneeling and begging her. Minutes turned to hours. It was an uncomfortable position but I did not know how else to show that I wanted her more than anything in this world. Hell, I was ready to stay this way for months if she will accept us.

"Alexander, please get up. I don't want you to get hurt. I can't decide so soon. I need some time. I need to know more about what I am getting into. I need some time but I can give my words that I will be open-minded and fair."

I looked at her hopefully. She was giving us a chance. She was not rejecting us which means we have a chance. I stood up immediately to get closure to her and thank her but my knees gave up. I stumbled a little but balanced myself before falling. I smiled happily when I saw her rushing to me to catch me from falling. It was adorable that she wanted to catch me from falling, she may not succeed but I was flattered. With her support, I walked and sat down on our bed. Being a werewolf, I did not need the support but I wanted her touch. I jerked and moved my knees to unstiffen my legs. She stood beside the bed. I felt her eyes on me. I knew she was drooling at me; my arms, my abs, my back. It was the first time I was shirtless in front of her and I worked out. I let her enjoy her view while I pretended to unstiffen my perfect legs. After few minutes, I turned to her. She was staring at my biceps, a little too busy to notice that I was now gawking at her. I stopped my fake exercise and that snapped her back to reality. She was all red but I decided not to tease her tonight.

"It is getting late. Do you want me to stay here or shall I leave?" She did not respond and I understood her. I got up and walked towards the door.

"Alexander, please put on a shirt.". This time, I could not hold myself back from teasing her and played her. "I am just going to sleep in one of the rooms. I usually sleep shirtless." She glared at me yet she looked so cute. It was clear that she did not want me roaming around shirtless. "You are not in your apartment. It is rude to roam half-naked when you are sharing the house with others." I walked to my closet, got a T-shirt, and then went to her room to sleep.
