Ezra's Miracle

Chapter 5

The next morning, I wake up at my usual time. 6am. It's the only time I can be alone and go for a run. I'm also naturally a morning person.

I sit up in bed, and stretch before throwing the covers off. I make my way to my bathroom, and start my morning route.

After finishing up, and changing into some baggy clothes, I head for the door. I open up my door, and Ezra is leaning against the door frame.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asks me.

"I'm going for a run," I say and look down at my outfit. I thought it was obvious.

"I'm coming with you," He says without a second thought.

"Fine," I comment and start heading towards the backdoor. He follows behind me silently. As soon as my feet the cold grass, I pull my shirt off and my shorts next. I glance behind me and see that my mate is staring at me with dark, lustful eyes. I smirk, and pull my sports bra over my head and the proceed to shift into my wolf.

After shifting, I turn back to Ezra and see that he's hurrying to take off his clothes. He pulls off his boxers with a smirk, my wolf howls and he chuckles. He shifts into a beautiful dark wolf.

He starts to stride over to me and sniffs my neck. My wolf purrs for him and lifts her head. He licks her neck, giving her kisses.

She flicks her head towards the woods and he nods, and follows her tail. Our wolves run around from a long while, enjoying being together for the first time. When I notice that the sun is becoming more bright and that it's starting to warm up, I shift back into my human form.

Ezra shifts back to, staring at me with lust in his eyes.

"Sei bellissima amore mio," Ezra says while taking my whole body in. We are mates after all. He is mine and I am his. There's no reason to be embarrassed.

The different language surprises me after first, but then I remember his pack originated in Italy, it's in his blood. My family comes from a long line of Swedish Royalty.

He walks over to me, eyes never leaving mine. I breath sharply. "What did you say?" I ask him, looking up at his handsome face. He pulls our bodies close, so close they are touching and keeping each other warm.

"I said, 'You are so beautiful my love'," I start to blush. He leans down and places his lip on top of mine. The kiss is deep and so full of love. "We've gotta get back before any of the guards notice we're both gone."

He puts his hand on my lower back and we walk back to my house and put our clothes back on. I walk out of the woods, first. Ezra walks out a minute later. I reach the door first, and I go inside but hold it open for him. The house is still dead. No one is up yet. I pull him close and he groans.

"You're going to make this so much harder Amore," He comments. I lean up and place a kiss on his lips with a giggle.

"Ezra," I say staring up at him.

"What is it?"

"Why are you being so secretive about us?" I ask him. He sighs.

"I don't want too, but I just started this new position and I don't want to mess it up. I'm in charge of all the guards. If they find out that we're mates, they aren't going to take me serious."

"But you are their boss, and their Prince!" I point out and he freeze. I step back and look at him with confusion. "What's wrong?"

He relaxes. "Nothing, it's just I didn't realize yet that I was a Prince. It's a weird feeling."

"Tell me about it," I say with a sigh. "Don't worry Ezra, we'll have each other."

He leans down and kisses me. I smile against his lips. He pulls back after a minute or so. "Come on, let's get you to breakfast."

I nod and we walk together to the dinner hall. My mother is already there when we get there.

"Good morning!" Mother says. "How are you two this morning?" She asks us.

I smile, and take a seat at the table. "I'm good," I tell her, she waits for Ezra's response.

"I'm well also," He comments.

"Good," She says and pauses for a moment, "Go ahead and sit down Ezra."

He furrows his eyebrows in confusion. "Excuse me, your Majesty?"

Mother scoffs. "Ezra, don't call me that. You're family now, I'm going to be your mother in-law for goodness sake. Now, please join us for breakfast!" She tells him.

Ezra hesitates before sitting down beside me. The table is already set with muffins, and other small breakfast items. I lean my head on Ezra's shoulder, as he reaches for a muffin. He smiles and places a kiss on the top of my head. My mother smirks at us from the other side of the table.

Julius is the next one to enter, 20 minutes later. He walks over and kisses Mother's head. "Good morning Mom," He says and then greets us as well.

"I assume this is Ezra," He says before taking his seat.

"Yes. That's me," My mate response.

"Take of my sister, and do it well." Julius says while piling his plate.

"Of course," Ezra response and pulls me closer to him, using the arm he had wrapped around me. I snuggle closer into him.

We all eat, and make small talk while my family slowly trickles in.

"So who's the girl in Lachlan's bed this time?" My mother asks Julius.

He shrugs, "The hell if I know."

I scoff, "It's so gross that he does that. He's using his title to get girls in his bed," I comment. My brothers are very nice people but are also very....active. If you know what I mean. Lachlan is probably the worse out of them all. New girl every night.

"You are very right, Nala. I didn't raise my boys to be pigs, but it happened anyways. I blame your father," She says with a chuckle.

"Did Father do the same thing, Mom?"

She laughs again. "You're Father wasn't exactly pure when we met,"

As if on cue, he walks in.

"What are we talking about?" He asks his mate.
"How big of a hoe you were when we met," She tells him. He scoffs.

"How dare you say that! You act as if you were innocent!" He says with a smile, and my mother's jaw drops.

"Point is," Mother begins, playfully glaring at Father. "Your father and I are very proud of you, saving yourself for your mate isn't easy to do." Mother tells me. Julius nods his head in agreement.

Ezra looks take back by the conversation happening. "You saved yourself for me?" He asks.

I look up at him, and nod. He looks shocked and fear crosses his face.

"What about you?" I ask him quietly.

"I-um...well," He begins. Slowly my face turns into shock. I pull away from Ezra. His hands reach out for me. He tries to find the words to explain himself and my wolf urges him to explain.

"You have 5 seconds to explain yourself."

He tenses. "Can we talk about this in private?" He eyes my family as they all watch us.

"Fine," I grit out. He follows behind me as we head for the hallway.
