MELINA

Chapter Forty three

Melina’s eyes bulged as Xavier said those words. But then, she thought again “obviously he would know, he is a werewolf”.  She did not find words to say because, she knew that if she talked, she would end up stammering so, she let him continue. “I knew from the first day I set my eyes on you, and I know that you also know about mates and that you know that I am your mate but, I have this resentment towards women because of what my mother did to my father. I know you probably know the story yeah?” Melina nodded. “I was not interested in finding my mate or knowing her but, I guess fate brought you to me. I did not want to have anything to do with you but then, I realised that it will not be fair on you”. He paused for a few seconds before he continued again. “All I am trying to say is that I have decided to give this mate thing a chance”
Melina spoke “I, um, I guess that we should give it a chance”. Xavier replied “I do not know how to behave or anything but, I am hoping you will teach me”. He smiled as he said it and Melina looked up at him shyly.
They decided to head back to the palace because, the sun was already setting and it was not a good idea to stay late outside.
There was a feeling of happiness radiating in the car as the two of them were blushing and grinning from ear to ear. They got to the palace, greeted some of the servants then, Melina told Xavier that she wanted to go to the room and have some rest. She looked ahead and thought about how far the room was and she sighed. It was as if Xavier got the message and before she could move a step, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her towards the room. All Melina could do was blush terribly into his chest as he carried her. On getting to the room, he put her down and asked her a question “so, am I being romantic and caring enough?” Melina smiled and nodded.
Xavier was about to leave when he turned and faced Melina again “one more thing”, he said before he moved closer to her and kissed her on her forehead then, he left.

Melina’s POV
Immediately Xavier left, I started acting crazy. I jumped on the bed and fell back down in laughter. I was so happy; I did not even know what to do.
I decided within me to tell my parents about Xavier being my mate the next day. I imagined the shock and surprises that will be on their faces.
I had to tell them early because I learnt that in the werewolf kingdom, if you find your mate and you accept each other, you have to perform the marriage rites after two weeks. So, I had about one week, six days left. I could not even imagine that I was finally going to get married.
I think I slept on the clouds that night.

Awww someone get me tissues😥😥
