Book:The Beast Found His Love Published:2024-5-1

Bella’s POV
After some time, Xavier came back once he had talked to the doctor. He gave me a smile as he walked in. “So the doctor said that you are all good to go, but you have to take your medicines,” he said while giving me a stern look at the last sentence.
I just sheepishly smiled at him. ” Here change into this and we will be good to go.” he said as he gave me a big shirt and shorts.
I gave him a who’s-is-it questioning look. He chuckled. “Its my smallest shirt I could find. And that is my boxers.” he said as he smirked at the last part.
I blushed as he said that it was his boxers. “oh ok. Thank you.” I said as I could find another blush coming up its way again.
I thought of going to the bathroom to change when I realised there was none. Sensing this, “Right, there is no place for you to change. How about I turn the other side and you change?” He suggested.
I was shy at first. “Don’t worry I won’t see. Even though it will be very tempting, I promise you I will not look. I swear.” he promised me. I slowly nodded at him.
He smiled as he turned. I quickly got rid of the gown, and put on the very big shirt and the shorts that he gave me. The shorts covered till my mid thigh while the shirt reached till a bit below my mid thigh.
It was as if I wasn’t wearing anything under the shirt. I cleared my throat indicating I was done. As he turned around, his eyes turned darker, I did not understand how. He was looking at me intently and it made me blush.
I cleared my throat. When he heard me, he looked straight into my eyes. I wasn’t able to look away. It happened so many times. I was never able to look away.
He breaks the daze and starts to speak.” Are you ready to go?” he asked. I nod my head at him. He started to come near me. I got confused as to why he was coming near,
He picked me up in bridal style. I yelped as he picked me up. “Why are you carrying me? put me down.” I squeaked out.
“You are injured. Hence I am carrying you. I don’t want you getting hurt again.” he said in the ‘duh’ tone.
” I only injured my hand, not my leg. Please let me down.” I tried to reason out with him. But he would not listen. He continued to carry me.
“Not happening. You were in a coma for three days. You must be tired. I am carrying you end of discussion.” he said in a stern voice.
Not being able to reason out with him, I huffed and pouted to which he just chuckled and again his eyes became darker again. I shrugged it off thinking I would ask about it later.
He ascended the stairs while carrying me. When I saw some people walking past, I quickly nuzzled myself into his chest. I felt a rumble from his chest when I did that. Yet I continue to hide my face at his chest.
Soon we reached his room. As he used the hand that was under my thighs to open the door, he brought me inside and shut the door. He placed me at the bed as he sat me comfortably. He also sat comfortably in front me.
When we both sat comfortably, he took my hands in his and, ” Shoot. Ask me any question you have in mind and I would answer them honestly” he said.
I quickly got excited as I was able to ask him a question.” Firstly, Erm Why is everyone here calling you Alpha when you told me that your name is Xavier?” I asked him.
He chuckled and said,” An Alpha is a leader to a pack. We protect them and help them and manage everything. I am their Alpha. We also have a female Alpha who is called Luna. Which is you in the future, but we will talk about it another day.” He said
When he said that I was the future Luna I got scared at first but decided to let it slide.
“What is the mate’s bond?” I asked him remembering hearing it somewhere,
“It’s the bond between two mates. For example between you and me. We were able to feel each other’s emotions and feelings. But you won’t be able to feel it much. At least not yet, but I can feel it vaguely. That is how I found you the other day.” he said.
I just nodded my head at his answer. I had one last question. I was afraid to ask him but I really needed to know the answer for that question.
“Erm one last question.” I asked as I felt nervous.
“WillIeverbeabletogoback?” I asked in one breath. But I can see that he did not understand. Hence I repeated the questions.
“Wi-will I ev-ever be able to g-go b-back?” I asked and I stuttered.
