His Hunter Mate (Sequel) ON HOLD

Chapter 12 - You're Worth It All

~Rosie~

I was shocked. Absolutely shocked to say the least.

A date? Tonight? With Zander? And he seemed to be willing and happy to go?

I wrapped my arms around his neck, hoping this wasn't all a dream and if it was, I never wanted to wake up from it.

Amy and Sebastian had told me we were having guests over for dinner but they knew Zander was taking me out. It made sense because Amy had gotten me ready but she herself didn't get ready.

I looked up at Zander and a saw a small smile graced his handsome face. I wanted to know what sparked this. I wanted to know why he was willing to go out. But I was too scared to say anything because I didn't want to ruin this perfect moment. I just let him carry me as he walked to who knows where.

After a few more minutes we reached a limo, parked in front of the palace gates. I was surprised to see the limo, too. Where were we going? I had so many questions.

The limo driver opened the door just as Zander set me down on my feet. "Good evening, Rosie and Prince Zander." The driver greeted us, calling Zander a Prince since he wasn't yet the King and Alpha of the werewolves.

"Good evening to you too." I greeted back while Zander simply scowled at the driver, causing me to sigh. Zander wasn't very friendly with servants, maids, guards or anyone who worked at the palace. I sent an apologizing look to the driver before getting in the Limo. Zander followed suit behind me.

I settled into a seat and Zander sat on the seat opposite of me. Once the Limo Driver closed the door, I turned to Zander with a frown on my face. "Would it kill you to be a little nicer to all those wonderful people that work for you?" I asked, causing Zander to sigh in irritation.

"Rosie, we're on a date. This night should be about us. So can we not talk about others?" He asked, running his hand through his hair.

"Okay but you really shouldn't treat people that work for you so horribly." I said causing Zander to glare at me. He then reached out and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards him hard so that I fell into his lap.

"Fine, I shouldn't and its horrible of me to do so. Now can we forget about it?" He asked and I nodded my head at him, moving around in his lap to make myself comfortable.

"Why are you taking me out on a date?" I asked curiously once I was comfortable. He frowned down at my question.

"Do you not want to go?" He asked tilting his head slightly as he stared down at me.

"No! I do want to go! I was just... curious since... you kinda didn't want anything to do with me... And yeah." I said looking away from him. His hand was resting on the bare visible skin on my waist, unconsciously caressing it.

"Well, you see Rosie, I'm a horrible person. And I know I am. I know I can be really rude, impolite, insensitive, a jerk, an asshole and all sorts of other things. And I've been worse than anything to you. To my own mate. And I've realized, it's not fair to you. You love me and I obviously loved you too at one point in my life. But I've lost those memories but that doesn't mean I should have the right to hurt you more than you're already hurting. I may not remember loving you but I do know I did and I do know you still love me. And it's not fair to you at all. Especially when your pregnant, with my child." He said as he looked down at the ground. "And again, I'm a horrible person. If I wasn't, I would have at least tried to fix things between us. I'm so sorry I didn't Rosie. I'm not expecting you to forgive me. So it's okay if you don't. But I am willing to get to know you now. I am willing to do everything I can to remember and love you like I used to. And that's why I'm taking you out on this date. I want to learn about you. I want to see the Rosie I was in love with. I want to experience her and her love."
