Werewolf Cinderella

Chapter 12

Katie POV:

I wanted to run again,but I needed his help. I wanted to reject him,to save him the pain of being embarrassed by his mate. As I got my footing back in order,I walked in front of him, trying to avoid his eyes. I got back to the wall and hopped on top. I winced a bit because i still had a lot of bruises from when Ava and Maggie jumped on me. The prince must have seen this, because he grasped the wall and jumped over to the other side.

He lifted his hands to me so that he could help. I pushed him away and winced in pain once again. For once I looked into his baby blue eyes. He looked in pain.He wanted to help me. For once,I let him. Cause there was no way I was going to make it to the house in one piece without him.

He helped me down and held onto my waist till he was sure I was able to walk. I gave him a smile and he gave me one. But his eyes still shown pain and hurt. I opened the door to the house and walked up the stairs to my room. He followed behind and saw the damage they caused when they ran around the house trying to hurt me.

I pushed him out of my room and he looked even more hurt than before."I am just taking a shower and cleaning up all this gunk on my clothes,"I told him. He calmed down and walked out. He really was sweet. Maybe he wouldnt care if I used to be a housemaid. I decided to give us a chance. I just hope that he wouldnt use me.

I stripped down and placed all my clothes in the washer. I walked into the shower and cleaned up all the cuts I got and got all the dirt off of me. I wrapped a towel around my body and went up to my room to find a new out fit. I pulled out my blue top with some black skinny jeans and my black boots. I let my hair down for once.

I walked down the stairs to find the prince in the living room. His head was in his hands,I heard a sniffle. I walked over to him and knelt. He didnt notice me,so I placed my hand on his knee. He looked up and I saw in his eyes that his pain was getting worse and worse by the second.

His baby blue eyes where red from him crying. I placed my other hand on his. He sniffled. "Whats wrong?"I asked him. He turned his head to try and look away from me. With the hand that is on his hand, i used it to turn his head so it would face me. Tears started to fall from his eyes. I used my thumb to wipe them away. I gave him a smile, he returned the smile.

"Whats wrong?Please tell me, your majesty,"I asked him. He looked straight at me.

"You,"He said. I didnt know if I should have been offended or happy. Happy that I was on his mind,offended that I was the problem.

"What do you mean?"I asked him. He sniffled a little and looked at the floor,not wanting to answer. I think he thought that he was going to make the situation worse than what he thought it was.

Tears started flowing even more."No more crying,please,"I asked him. He nodded his head and glanced into my eyes. I waited for an answer. After a while I got nothing, I was getting up to go to the kitchen when his hand shot up and stopped me.

"Please dont go,not again,"He asked. His eyes where still red and a couple tears escaped. I knelt down in front of him once again."Is that why you said that I was what was wrong?"I asked him.

He nodded a little,which meant that it was only part of the problem. He took in a deep breath and started to explain everything.

"That night, the night of the ball, when I first saw you,I knew. I walked after you to the gardens where my mother was. It is her garden. I wanted to see what you looked like. Then your step sisters and Anna showed up. But by the time that I turned back around you where running. I panicked. I didnt want you to leave so I followed you till you went over the wall. I tried looking and looking for you,till I came here. Then I saw you jump and get chased. I went after and when I saw that you werent moving. I freaked,cause I had just found you and I had almost lost you. Then when you woke up and tried to run away and when you didnt want my help when you went over the wall...I just...Do you not love me?"He asked.

I lifted my hand to his face,he nuzzled in my palm and waited for me to answer."I do love you.I ran because I didnt think that you would care for me, or you would just use me,"I said. He looked deep into my eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped mine around his neck and pulled him in for a hug. His breathing became normal and his heart beat slowed. I kissed his cheek. He nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck.

I pulled away and placed both of my hands on his face. I brought him in for a kiss. His arms around my waist tightened a bit, bringing us close to each other. I broke the kiss and our foreheads touched. He was still breathing a little heavy but he was calming down.

I was starting to stand up and go close the front door, but he wouldnt let me go. Tears still flowed from his eyes. I ruffled his hair. He loosened his hold on me and I closed the door so no more cold air could come in. I looked over at the prince,He yawned and I knew he must have been tired. I walked over to the kitchen and got him a glass of water. I decided that he would have to do something really stupid to have me reject him.

I walk back into the living room and look at my mate asleep on the couch. His shoes where off and he was trying to get comfortable. I got him a pillow and some blankets and placed his water on the table beside him. I lifted his head and placed the pillow under his head. I rolled the blanket up to his shoulders and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

A girl could get used to taking care of loved ones.
