The One Who Came (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7

-He looks so cute!-

Ivan

"I'm fine mama, yes, I'll tell you who he is when I come back..... I won't tell you now, It's a surprise!.... He's more than good, He's amazing. I'll ask him later but don't get your hopes up... What?! No! no what are you talking about! It's too early for that... Yeah, whatever. Love you bye." I woke up by the sweet voice of my mate, probably talking to his mother. Since I just woke up and was still a little woozy, I couldn't hear what his mother was saying. It's better that I don't hear since I don't want to intrude.

So it wasn't a dream. I finally found my mate and he is the most beautiful and kind person I met in my life. I love hearing his voice, love seeing him smile and I'll do whatever in my power to keep that smile on his face for the rest of my life. The Goddess has finally given me my mate and I swear to treat him the way he deserves.

I opened my eyes when I heard my little mate sigh and saw him glaring at his phone.

"Morning." I rasped out. He turned to me, a little startled but smiled sweetly at me.

"Good morning." He shyly muttered and I could shamelessly coo at him if I had some energy in my tired body.

"What time is it?" I asked and sat up, pressing my back to the headboard like Karter.

"7." He said after looking at his phone.

"What? Why are you up so early? We slept so late last night." I asked since I could see the dark bag under his eyes plus he looked tired.

"My mum called me to check. She wakes up pretty early." He said and started to fiddle with his hands.

"Okay, let's sleep now. We can sleep until 10. Now come, I need to cuddle you." I said and pulled him into me before he could say anything. He snuggled in me and I pressed a kiss on his curly long hair before closing my eyes. It didn't take me more than a minute and I was asleep.

This time I was the one who woke up first and decided to cuddle my little mate some more. He's so soft and warm, his scent so sweet and calming.

Today, I'll introduce Karter to my parents and hopefully meet his family. I'm so excited for everyone to meet my little mate, especially papa. He'll be over the moon to finally see Karter. Maybe he'll cry..... He'll definitely cry.

A chuckle escaped my lip at the thought, which was not a good idea. Karter squirmed a little and scrunched his nose cutely. He squinted his eyes and finally opened them after blinking for a good minute.

"Morning." I kissed his nose and watched him smiled lazily.

"We already said that." He mumbled and closed his eyes.

"Don't sleep again, we have to start our day." My voice fell to deaf ears because my mate didn't respond and before I know it, he's asleep again. I didn't have the heart to wake him up since we slept late and he had to wake up when his mother called. 

I might do something special while he's sleeping. I pecked his parted lips once and got up from our comfortable bed.

Breakfast in bed? What should I make? French toast or pancakes? I should make waffles.

I walked inside my walk-in closet and put on a dull green tee. As I was going to close the door, Nick started whimpering. Newly found mate might find it difficult to leave their other halves and it is worse for a pack Alpha. The need to protect what's theirs is high for the first few days. 'Don't leave him alone, Ivan.' Nick pathetically whined and I started to feel intense pain in my chest.
