MELINA

Chapter forty one

The next day, after Melina and Xavier had their breakfast. He told her that he wanted to show her a particular place. They got into the car and after about one hour, they arrived at their destination. The driver stopped the car and Xavier motioned for Melina to come out. He held her hand and they started walking. “Xavier, where are we going?” Melina asked because, all she could see were tall trees and a footpath on which they were walking. She wondered deep down if Xavier brought her to this deserted place to kill her. She shivered at the thought of that and laughed in her head. No one could possibly kill her even if they tried to.
“patience Mel, patience”, he said. Melina raised her eyebrows at the nickname because the only person who called her that was her brother. She did not mind Xavier calling her that though. She kept quiet and decided to trust him. He finally stopped and the sight that fell before Melina’s eyes made her gasp. She did not know if she should call it spectacular, amazing or beautiful. It was totally breath-taking. It was a garden which had different varieties of flowers ranging from Alstroemerias which some other people knew as Peruvian lilies, daises, roses, gardenias and others that she did not know their names. There was a water fountain in the middle of the garden too. It was so serene and cool, Melina felt like living there forever. “This is where I always come whenever I want to think. My father loved flowers and I took my time to plant them and now here we are”. “whoa, Xavier, this is beautiful, that was very thoughtful of you”. “yes, I also change into my wolf here sometimes. Come and sit”. They had their sit on one of the benches there. They talked a little, asked each other questions just to get to know each other more then, Melina asked a question. “Xavier can I see your wolf?” That was the last thing he expected to hear. He decided to oblige her request. “well, anytime I shift, I usually lose my shirts, I hope you do not mind when you see me shirtless after shifting back”. she blushed a little and told him she was fine with it.
Melina looked at him as he crouched down and his bones started cracking. In about three minutes, she was face to face with a very huge white wolf. Beautiful was an understatement for this wolf, Melina did not even know what to describe it with. Sitting down, she could not reach the wolf because it was taller than her so, she stood up and they were both the same height. She looked into the eyes of the wolf and they were a piercing silver, just like Xavier’s. the wolf rubbed his head against her and licked her face, she giggled and tickled its ears. It looked like the wolf wanted her to get on its back because it kept nudging her towards its back. She got the message and climbed on its back when it lowered itself so that it would be easy for her to get on. They rode around the garden with the wind blowing and Melina’s hair slapping against her face. The feeling she had at that moment was phenomenal and she never wanted it to end.
When they were satisfied, she got down and the wolf started changing back. Not long after, Xavier stood in front of her only in joggers, he was totally shirtless. Melina blushed terribly because she had never seen a shirtless guy before and the fact that Xavier’s body was toned and he had abs was not helping matters. “I warned you”, he smirked. I stuck out my tongue at him playfully. “Give me a minute and let me get our lunch from the car”. she nodded and waited for him. Truth was she was already getting hungry and, hearing that there was lunch made her happy. He came back with a basket. she looked up at him and saw that he already had a white vest on. Guess he had some of those in the car. I opened the basket and saw that it consisted of hard boiled eggs, potato salad, lemon cream icebox cake, chocolate, ice cream and some cookies. Melina and food were like five and six. They ate in silence and finished it off with the ice cream. Melina noticed that Xavier was looking at her and she asked him “what”? He leaned towards her and wiped a bit of ice cream that was under her lower lips. She blushed yet again and wondered if she was going to keep on blushing like that throughout that day. There was yet silence again until, Melina heard a sentence that almost made her shit on herself “I know that you are my mate”.

Cliffhanger huh?😁
