My Beloved Mate

Vampire Glory

"I'm so sorry, Anastasia." Alexander apologized.

Anastasia looked at her mate in confusion. "What are you sorry for baby?"

"Things would've been a lot easier if I were a werewolf." Alexander confessed. Anastasia rolled her eyes.

"Alex, I fell in love with you and all of your vampire glory. Sure, if you were a wolf things would be a lot easier, but where's the fun in that?" Anastasia was trying to ease the tension between them.

"Vampire glory?" Alexander wiggled his eyebrows.

"Don't make me say it again." Anastasia laughed. Alexander was happy that he made her laugh and wanted to do it again.

There was a knock on her door. Alexander wrapped Anastasia behind is back in a protective gesture. Anastasia, understanding his need to keep her safe, stayed behind him.

"Come in." Anastasia mumbled from behind her mate.

Octavia, Fane, and Jacque walked in.

"I'm Fane, Anastasia's brother. And this is my mate, Jacquelyn." Jacque smiled and Alexander bowed his head at Jacque. "I would say that she's told me so much about you, but she didn't." Fane directed that last comment to Alexander, but was staring at Anastasia.

"Hi I'm Octavia, Anastasia's best friend." She held her hand out. Alexander was about to shake it, but Anastasia slapped her hand away from her mate and growled at her. Quickly realizing her mistake, she apologized.

"I'm so sorry Octavia! I don't know what went over me. I just didn't like the thought of you touching him." Octavia nodded in understanding.

"Maybe your wolf is finally coming out." Octavia suggested.

"What do you mean finally?" Alexander asked. He looked at Anastasia with a questioning look while she was staring at Octavia with a what-the-hell kind of look.

"We should talk about this privately, Alex." Anastasia whispered.

Understanding what was happening. Jacque, Fane, and Octavia left.

"What did she mean 'your wolf is finally coming out'? Do you not have a wolf?" Alexander asked.

"It's a long story.." Anastasia said.

He sat down on the bed. "I have the time." Anastasia shook his head.

"I don't feel comfortable talking in here, too many ears in this house." Alexander nodded his head in understanding.

He walked to the door and held out his hand. "C'mon lets go to a hotel or something. I need to get you away from the males."

"Can Nikolai come?" Anastasia asked.

"Sweetheart, I know he's your bodyguard and everything, but I don't want you around any males. Besides you don't need him anymore, you have me." Alexander informed.

"But what about whenever you're in London while I'm here in Romania?" Anastasia asked.

"We will always be together. When you're in Romania I will be with you. When I leave to go back to London, you will accompany me." Alexander simply stated.

"Why don't you have a British accent?" Anastasia asked.

"We will answer all of each other's questions, just grab an overnight bag come with me." Anastasia caught that her mate had questions for her too.

She quickly packed an overnight bag and headed to the door. When she opened the door, she whispered to Nikolai, "We're be leaving for a little bit. We'll be back tomorrow."

"Be careful, Ana." Nikolai said.

Anastasia walked downstairs being closely followed by Alexander.

"Where are you two going?" Alina asked.

"Out. Don't worry, I'm not running away again. I just need to get out of here, I'll be back tomorrow." Before Alina could say anything, Alexander was already pulling Anastasia out the door.
