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

Bella’s POV
We were eating in comfortable silence, until Xavier’s mum spoke. “So son, have you completed the mating process?” and when she said that finish, I heard Xavier cough while I sat there not understanding.
Xavier looked up from his plate while his father looked nervous sitting there. “MUM!” Xavier whispered, yelled at his mother and looked at me.
I just gave him a questioning look. His mother found this amusing as she just chuckled. “What? I want my grandchildren.” she said as she gave an innocent look.
My eyes went wide as the saucers. I looked between his mother and him. I blushed and face down. “Darling I think you should calm down.” Xavier’s father told his wife.
She just pouted and continued eating. Well that escalated fast. Soon we were finished. We went to the living room with Xavier’s phone.
He excused himself and kissed my forehead, and went off to answer. After he went, his parents turned to me. “Thank you for forgiving us dear.” His mum told me. “Also, thank you for changing him to be a better person.” he dad said to me.
“No Mrs Romano, it’s not your fault. Also he was always a kind hearted person. It is just he did not know how to show. You don’t have to thank me Mr Romano.”
“Oh please call us Aurora and Raffaele dear.” Xavier’s mum told him. I bit my lips wanting to ask them something. “If you don’t mind, can I call you mum and dad.” “That is if you are ok with it.” I quickly added.
They smile at me. “It would be an honour.” Dad said as he smiled at me. We started to converse when Xavier came in. “We should be heading back. It is starting to get late.” Dad and Mum nodded their understanding.
As we were to leave, “Bye Dad, Bye Mum.” I waved to them. ” Bye kids. Come back soon.” Mum said which made Xavier scoff. “we are not kids.” he mumbled to himself. I hit his arm playfully.
He turned and gave me a grin and picked me up and carried me towards the cars. I squealed and pouted to let me down but he just kissed my forehead.
Soon we were in his car driving back home. I fell asleep in the car. I wake up to someone carrying me. When I opened my eyes, I came face to face with Xavier’s enchanting eyes.
I snuggled closer to his chest. It was so warm and safe. Once we were in the room, he laid me down and got me my pyjamas.
I shook my head at him. “You don’t want to change into your pyjamas?” he asked me quizzically. “Not that. I don’t want this.” I said to him “Then what do you want?”
I bit my lips. ” If you don’t mind, can I have yours. I feel comfortable in them.” I said nervously. He grinned at me. “Of course. I love it when you wear my clothes. It shows that you are mine.”
As he said this, I realised he was just inches away from my face. I blushed and turned away. He chuckled and went to grab his clothes and handed it to me.
I grabbed them and went to change. When I came back, I saw him sprawled in the bed. I went to bed as I lay down with my cheeks in his chest, which he had a shirt on luckily,
and his arms around my waist bringing me closer. He took a lock of my hair and swirled it around his fingers. Suddenly a question popped in my head.
“Xavier can I ask you a question?” I asked him. “Sure love. what is it?” he asked as he looked down at me. “What is the mating process?” I asked as I felt him tense.
“Love, let’s discuss it another day, shall we?” he told me. But I sat up and crossed my arms as a pout formed in my lips. I shook my head wanting to know now.
He sighed. “Fine. But don’t freak out. promise me.” he said as he looked at me unsure. I nodded my head at him and intertwined my pinkie finger with his.
“Ok the mating process is when I bite at the crook of your neck to mark you as mine. It shows other wolves that you are mine. Your scent will change.” he said.
When he said this I looked at with wide eyes. “W-Will it hurt.” I asked him. “It will only stink at first and then it will turn into pleasure. I will make sure it won’t hurt you much.” he said to me.
“Then after that we might have to…” he trailed as he rubbed at the nape of his neck. I raised my eyebrow for him to continue.
“Well we have to, erm, make love.” he said. When he said as I blush and face down which made my hair fall as a curtain from him seeing my crimson red face.
He picked me up as he made me sit. “Don’t hide your blush. It makes me proud, knowing I am the one who caused that.” He said in a husky voice.
I nodded my head at him. “Then after that you would have your own wolf. To finish the mating process, you would have to mark me.” He said finish.
As soon as he said finish, my eyes were as wide as bubbles. Seeing this he just kissed my nose which made me giggle.
Soon his lips found mine. As he kissed me, he hovered above me. He started to kiss me from my cheeks to my jaw line. As he trailed off to my neck.
When he kissed my sensitive spot I let out a moan. It led him to let out a low growl. He started to suck and nibble on the skin which ragged my breathing.
Soon I felt his teeth grazing at my skin. That is when I realised he wanted to mark me. But was I ready for it? I don’t know.
I pulled away, which agitated him to pull me closer. But I kept pulling him “Xavier please, I am not ready.” I said. As I say this he pulled away,
He looked up at my eyes as if he was searching for something. He sighed and pulled me into a hug. “I am sorry.” I whispered to him. He just nodded his head and pulled me close to him.
I felt really guilty. But I was just not ready yet. Maybe I was. But I want to make sure that I love him with all my heart and being. And I will.
