Bella’s POV
I flickered my eyes open as I rubbed my eyes. I came face to face with Xavier’s chest. I felt warm and comfortable that I did not feel like waking up.
I snuggled closer to him as his grip on me became tighter. “Good morning beautiful.” I heard someone say.
I opened my eyes to see Xavier’s eyes closed. I got confused. He snuggled closer to me. “You smell so nice, Love.” I heard again yet his eyes were closed.
I start to panic. He quickly opened his eyes. “Love don’t panic it was me.” He said as he tried to calm me. I found myself calming down.
“But your eyes were closed and your lips weren’t moving.” I said it was becoming confusing. He just chuckled. “I was talking to you through the mind-link, love.”
I got confused, again. “It means we are able to communicate through our mind. For now you and I will share a link with me
After you shift you will be able to share a link with the pack.” he explained. I made an understanding face. He just smiled at me.
“Do you want to do anything today?” He asked me. I started to think. “I want to go home.” I said. I wanted to take my things.
I saw him visibly tense. “This is your HOME” he said as he roared at the last word. I shivered as he scared me a bit.
When he saw this he quickly softened. He cupped my face. “I am sorry, love. I did not mean to scare you.” he apologised
I sighed. “I am the person who should apologise. I am still getting used to everything. I just wanted to get my things. My parents’ photos are over there.”
I said as I lowered my face. I heard him sigh and become stiff. He held my chin gently and raised my face.
“I am sorry. I did not realise that. How about I get someone to get them. Is that alright with you?” he asked as he had a soft smile.
I nodded my head at him. He smiled back. His smile was so beautiful. It was alluring and captivating. It actually brightened my day.
He started to stare at my lips. I blush at it. Soon his lips were on mine. He starts to kiss me softly. But then it turned dominating. It made me dizzy.
It felt as if he was curious. I don’t know what he was curious about. It made me wonder. After some time he let go.
“Do you want to go and grab breakfast?” he asked me. “I want to shower first.” I stated. “Sure. Lets go clean up, shall we?” I nodded my head.
I grabbed some clothes and went to bathe while Xavier went to go shower at the guest room. It took me a lot of convincing.
He was reluctant to let me go. After taking a shower, I came. As I came out I squeaked as to arms came snaking around my waist,
I guessed with tingles that it was Xavier. “What are you doing here?” I asked. I realised that he had yet to bathe.
“I could not bear the distance being away from you.” he said as he nuzzled his neck. I let out a giggle.
I shake my head at him. “Go and take a shower” I said as I tried my best not to laugh out loud. He shook his head in disagreement.
“Please. I am hungry.” I said knowing he would not disagree. He sighed. “Ok. Don’t leave, stay here.” he finally agreed. I nodded my head at him.
He gave my forehead a peck and went to shower. As he left, I felt cold. I missed him already. The marking must have had an effect.
After 7 minutes Xavier came back. “That was fast.” I told him to tease. As soon as he came out the door he hugged me. I hugged him back because I missed him also. This is so weird.
“Lets go and have breakfast shall we, love?” he asked as I nodded my head at him. He took my hands and intertwined them.
It fitted perfectly. It was like my hands were made to fit with his. I smiled at the thought. Soon we were in the kitchen. “What would you like to eat, love?” he asked me as he took some utensils.
“May I have waffles please.” I asked as I got excited about waffles. “Sure, love anything for you.” he said as he smiled at me.
He starts to mix the ingredients. I hummed to myself as I remembered a random song. “You have a nice voice, love.”
I blushed. “Thank you.” Soon he was done and we started to eat. We were talking on random topics. Soon we were done and when I wanted the dishes, he insisted he would do them.
After some time a few people came and dropped off some boxes. Xavier told me that they were my stuff from my house.
I quickly grabbed one of the boxes and pulled Xavier to sit with me in the living room. I opened the box and came face to face with the albums.
I took them out and showed them the pictures. I was smiling and giggling throughout everything as I showed him the pictures and described them.
I came across a picture I remembered. But one thing I don’t remember was a boy there who was about 15 years old.
“I never knew who this boy was. This picture was taken when I was about 9 years old.” I told Xavier as I looked up to see his face.
His eyes were glued to the picture. “Xavier what happened?” I asked as he concentrated on the picture.
“That’s me, love.”
