sealed fate

chapter 7

Laying in my bed I'm left alone with my mind running rampid. What did Malcom mean when he said everything was built on lies and how could he expect me to believe him. I heard stories about his blood lust and his wars took my mother from me she was killed in a fire that consumed one of our villages. How could I love a man that has caused so much damage in my life. How could I love a cold and deadly man who has been out for my family's blood since before I was even born.

I let out a heavy sigh and got out of bed. Walking over to my bay window I sat on the ledge and watched the night sky. It is Beautiful here. I find myself wondering if my family is looking for me and if they even thought to look here for me. What a mess I have gotten myself into.

I turn my head when I hear shuffling in the hallway followed by a slight thud on my door. I get up very carefully and tip toe over to the door and listen for any more movement. When I hear nothing I carefully turn the heavy knob and open the door to find Malcom laying on the cold hard floor. His head was resting on his arm and he had a small throw blanket drapped on his body. This man wanted to be close to me so badly that he was sleeping on the cold floor outside of my bedroom door.

This was insane how could the big bad alpha Malcom be so soft when it comes to me. Does he not know who I am does he not know the pain he has caused me and my family.

I close the door and climb back into my bed. I need to get some sleep too much has happened today and my brain cannot process anything right now. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep to escape my chaotic reality.

The next morning I wake up to the smell of coffee which means Julia must be here already. I jump out of bed and walk to the bathroom to get a shower. Turning the knobs of the shower I let the water heat up and step in. Steam fills the bathroom and I wash my hair with my fall scented shampoo and wash my body in cinnamon scented body wash. Once finished I towel dry and walk to my closet and pick out black leggings and a over sized sweater. Once I am done getting dressed I walk down stairs following the smell of breakfast and coffee.

I'm shocked to find Malcom instead of Julia.

"Oh ! You're not julia" I said shyly

"Nope I gave her the day off I figured we need to get to know one another so I took the day off to spend with you." He smiled and handed me a cup of coffee and walked me over to the dinning table and placed a plate in front of me that had waffles, scrambled eggs and bacon on it.

"Oh I didn't figure you would want to speak to me after the fight we had last night" I spoke in a whisper and a slight pang of guilt hit me.

"No its okay. I understand where your anger is coming from. I'm not a good guy."

"But I want to change that, I want this with you. I want you to want me."

"So I want to have a chance to get to know you. What you like what you hate, what makes you laugh and cry and all the little things you do when you are completely happy."

"I want to know who lily is. That way maybe you can teach me how to be the man you need. Give me a chance to love you better. I won't force you but I will not give up." His voice was soft but I can see nothing but love in his eyes.

He wants to know me, to love me can't he choose another female why does it have to be me.

But just the thought of his affection being direct to another female makes my wolf growl. I guess I don't have a choice but to give him his day of getting to know me.

"Okay, what do you have in mind" I say curious as to what he has planned.

"I didn't think you would agree but we can do whatever you want. We can go to lunch or we can go for a walk on the pack grounds." He smiled so big it lit up his honey eyes and my heart began to race. It's hard not to love this Malcom.
