Still Alive

Chapter 21

Mayday Parade~ My Heart I Surrender

_Alexandra

It's been three weeks since the mark. Once in a while I had this pain in my chest. It started to slowly spread out into my stomach. It was unbearable.

I was walking through the halls with a small smile on my face. Theo walked up beside me, a huge grin breaking out into his face. I chuckled raising my eye brows at him.

"She's pregnant." He finally spoke. I stopped walking looking over at him in bewilderment. He chuckled scratching the back of his neck.

"Really?! I'm so happy for you. God! What?" I squealed hugging him. He chuckled hugging me back. We pulled apart and continued our journey to my locker.

When we got there, Ashton stood leant against the lockers beside mine. His eyes glued to his phone. His head quickly snapped up and met my eyes. I smiled at him as he pushed himself up.

A wave of excruciating pain hit me. This time, it was all over my body. My legs gave out under me, and I crashed to the ground. I heard Ashton rushed over to me.

"Fuck! She's going into heat." Ashton growled lowly. I was picked up and rushed to god knows where.

"Ash!" I moaned out. He kissed my lips slipping me into the back seat of his car. Although it was a cool day, I was slowly becoming sweaty, and my body was burning up.

He drove, quite quickly might I add, down the road. I took my sweater off throwing it in the back. We pulled in to what looked like a cottage.

It was out in the forest, in the middle of no where. All these images flashed in my head. Ashton's sweaty body against mine. The way his body rocked against mine. Thrusting his bo-

Oh god Alex! Get ahold of yourself.

Ashton got out opening the back door. I hopped out and he pulled me into the cottage. As soon as the door closed, my clothes were strewn across the floor.

I knew this was going to be a moment to remember.

I woke up the next morning with the feeling of satisfaction. I was fully aware of my lack of clothing. The sheet covered me. An arm was wrapped around my waist holding me in my spot.

I turned around to come face to face with Ashton. His eyes were closed as he breathed steadily. I could help but smile at him. I traced every inch of his face ending with his lips.

I brushed my thumb over his bottom lip ever so lightly, afraid I would wake him up. His grip around my waist tightened making me gasp. I firmly pressed my palms to his bare chest.

His eyes fluttered open. A grin spreading out onto his face. He kissed my lips pressing our bodies together. I smiled pecking his lips.

"How did you sleep?" Ashton spoke. His morning voice sending chills down my spine.

God! He was so sexy.

"Amazing." I smiled up at him. He smiled kissing my forehead. His left arm was under my head serving as a pillow. My hand played with his fingers. I could feel his eyes on me, but I couldn't bring myself to look at him.

I was too shy for my own good. I could feel my heart racing inside of my rib cage. His lips pressed to my forehead leaving a tingling sensation where his lips previously were. He left a tingling sensation every where he touched.

I became addicted to his touch. I craved is touch. Just like I needed air, I also needed Ashton. If I hadn't been told about this mate thing, I would've gone crazy. I would've been scared of these feelings.

I was happy to have such a wonderful person in my life. He made every day worth living. Who knew where'd I'd be without him. He was the light of my life. I couldn't ask for any one better.

"Alex." Ashton brought me from my thoughts. My eyes roamed over to his. He looked to be in an internal battle. I gripped his large hand in my small one. His eyes met mine, and a smile broke out onto his face.

"I love you, Alexandra." His words made every thing stop. My heart came to a complete halt before it raced, 300 beats a second. My cheeks flushed as I kept my eyes on his face.

He just admitted to loving me. He loved me, but now the question was, did I love him? I mean, fid I? I've never felt this way about any one, ever. No one has ever captured my attention like he has.

"I love you too, Ashton." I gave him a shy smile. His smile grew wider, and for a second, I thought his face would split in half. His lips pressed to mine, making my insides go wild.

In that moment I knew I had a purpose. I was thankful for Ashton. Without him, who knows where I'd be. I wasn't afraid any more. I was free.

Alpha Ashton was the reason I was still alive.
