Alexa’s pov 🎀

“Are you just with him because he’s your mate? Or because you really love him?”

Wait… Why is she suddenly asking me this?

“Is he your ideal man? Does he meets your criteria?”

Ok, this is a college entrance examination!

I fold my l-ips in my mouth shortly and thinks about it for a little while… I don’t know if it’s appropriate to tell Aunt what I really think.

And I don’t know if I’ll speak out of line.

Aunt stops writing and stares at me curiously, I release a nervous laugh.

“Aunt, I….” I trail off.

“Alexa, relax, I’m just being curious!” She rubs my shoulder lightly as if it will help me calm down.

I took a deep breath and really feel myself relaxing slowly…

“Xander… he’s trying. He doesn’t really meets my criteria…as a teenager, I have always dreamed of getting married to a prince charming like Cinderella… I have always imagine my husband to be tall, handsome and brave with a well built body… imagine him to be a very rom-ntic and gentle man…his smile will be solely reserve for me… he’ll propose to me by the beach side with a perfect view of the sun setting…And we’ll have a perfect fairytale wedding!”

I pause and puts my elbow on the table, resting my chin on my palm with a dreamy smile on.

“Of course, Xander is tall, handsome, brave and very well built… he’s the perfect prince charming in my dreams… yes, he’s got that smile solely reserve for me… But after getting to know Xander, I come to realize that those features mean nothing…i don’t love him…. ” I trail off.

Aunt gasp and grip my hands tightly, she turns me to face her.

We hear a loud bang behind the door and the door burst open, aunt and I turn to take a look at the cause of the noise.

It’s Xander, he’s walking away angrily.. his fist balled. What got him angry? Did someone offend him?

Aunt turns to me with a frown.

“What do you mean you don’t love him? Is he lacking somewhere?”

I frown, what is she talking about? Is she misunderstanding me?

But I’m not done talking!

“Tell me, honey, I’ll tell him and get him to change, ok?”

Her grip is getting too tight, I guess it’s because she’s anxious.

“Aunt, you’re hurting me!” I said.

She quickly lets go of my hands and I rubs them against each other to numb the pain.

“I’m sorry, honey, just tell me where Xander is lacking”

I shake my head.

“Aunt, he’s not lacking anywhere, though he’s not perfect but he’s trying to be….”

“But you just said you don’t love him, it must be because he’s lacking somewhere, right?”

I laugh lightly.

“That was before, I didn’t love him before because he was too straight forward. Like the first time he saw me, he just rushed towards me and engulfed me in a very tight hug and started calling me mate…..”

I trail off as my mind flashes back to the very first time we met.. when he was courting me and calling me his court girl.

“He was acting like a caveman and going like ‘I love you Alexa, marry me’.. goodness, I was like what century are we in!”

I laugh and aunt joins in too.

“I wanted nothing to do with him then, I was calling him a madman.. but I later decided to give him a chance and I saw that he’s actually a nice guy… he doesn’t meet my ideal rom-ntic guy but he’s rom-ntic in his own possessive ways… I can see and feel how much he loves and cares for me… I find myself slowly falling in love with him and I swear, I have fallen deeply for him… ”

Aunt smile w¡dens as she stares at me quietly.

“I don’t know when or how but I have fallen in love with him… I realize those features doesn’t mean a thing and I don’t love him because of them… I love him because of his sincerity and genuine love towards me!”

Aunt engulfs me in a tight hug.. a bone crushing hug to be precise.. I couldn’t complain.

I just let her hug me to her heart content. She pulls away and holds my hands.. she first releases a long sigh.

“Goodness! I thought you don’t love Xander, I wouldn’t have known what to do cause I really love you… I love you the same way I love my pups and I don’t want anything to break you and Xander!”

She taps her chest lightly.

“It’s good you love him too!”

She smiles and pats my hair fondly, she picks her pen and picks another plain sheet of paper.

“Although, us wolves don’t do weddings, we can make your induction look like a wedding ceremony…”

“You can?!” I interrupts her before I can stop myself.

I put a strand of hair behind my ear and chew my lower lip… She laughs.

“I’m sorry for interrupting you”

“It’s fine honey, but yes, we can. I’m just not sure if Xander’s gonna engage you by the beach side”

“It’s fine, aunt, happiness is all that matters and I’m very happy being with him”

She nods.

“Ok, tomorrow we’ll go out of town to pick out a wedding gown for you!”

“Out of town?” I frown.

Why don’t I like the sound of going out of town?

“Yeah, we’ll pick a very beautiful wedding dress for you!”

I simply nod.

“Let’s continue, until your event planner comes!”

Writer’s pov 🎀

At a bar…! 3:17pm…!

“Ok… Alpha, did you bring me here to watch you drink?” Connor asked.

Xander ignores him and pours another glass of whiskey and gulps it all in one go.

“Alpha, is something bothering you?”

Xander still doesn’t respond to him, he keeps gulping glass upon glass of whiskey.

It gets to a stage, he angrily throws a glass across the bar… thankfully, they’re the only ones in the bar.

Hence, the glass didn’t hit anyone.

“Why am I not getting drunk?!” He growls angrily.

“Alpha, are you trying to get yourself drunk?” Connor asked.

“Yes! I wanna f-cking get drunk!”

Connor gets up and walk towards the bartender, he whispers something in the bartender’s ear.

The bartender nods and walks somewhere… Connor comes back to their table and sits down.

“Get me more whiskey!” Xander growls.

Connor laughs.

“If you really wanna get drunk, Alpha, whiskey can’t do it. Humans drinks don’t have any effect on us, werewolves!”

Xander bangs on the table.

“Then get me something effective!”

“Coming right up!” Connor replies.

Just then, the bartender comes back with a tray of c*cktails… different kinds of c*cktails!

He places it in front of Xander and bows slightly, then he walks away.

“Alpha, your c*cktails!” Connor said and picks a glass.

He was taking it to his mouth when Xander snatches it from him.

“Alpha, that’s mine!”

“You’re gonna stay sober and take me home!”

Was Xander’s reply before he starts downing the c*cktails.
He drinks until he’s getting drunk slowly, he stares at the glass in his hand and laughs.

“Impressive! Very impressive!” He said.

“Alpha, what’s wrong? Why did you decide to get yourself drunk today?” Connor asked.

Xander slams the glass on the table and clasp his hands together…he stares at Connor drunkenly.

“She lied to me! She lied to my face!”

Connor frowns in confusion.

“She? Who’s she?”

Xander laughs and picks another glass of c*cktail.. he finishes it in one gulp.

“She fooled me! She told me she loves me…” He scoffs. “It’s just a bluff! She f$*king lied!” He bangs on the table.

He throws his head back on his chair.

“I thought she’s finally fallen in love with me! It’s just my wishful thinking!”

Connor thinks about it and came to a conclusion that he’s talking about Alexa.

“She doesn’t loves me at all, why?! Am I not good enough?! Am I so bad that she can’t love me?!”

Xander wipes his face and blinks his eyes.

He holds his face in his palms and rests his elbows on the table.. anyone that sees him will know instantly that he’s sad and hurt.

Connor sighs, this is the first time in his nineteen years on earth he’s seeing Xander this way.

“Alpha, forgive my boldness but I’m afraid, you’re being too possessive with her!” Connor said cautiously.

Xander didn’t react then he clears his throat and continue.

“Yeah, girls do like it when their men are possessive but you’re being overly possessive… Any girl will get tired of your possessiveness”

Xander raised his head.

“Possessiveness? I’m being too possessive?” He mutters quietly.

He chuckles dryly.

“B-but, that’s the only way I know how to show her my love!”

“How about you limit your possessiveness a tiny bit?” Connor suggested.

He looks at Connor with a slight frown.

“Is that gonna make her love me?”

“Yes!”

Xander stays silent, just staring at the glasses of c*cktails remaining.

He quickly gulps them down, one after the other… until he’s finished everything.

He gets up and staggers back a bit but holds himself from falling… Connor rushes to him and supports him.

Connor place a few dollars on the table and leads Xander towards the exit.

“Where’s your car key, Alpha?”

Xander doesn’t answer his question.

“Getting drunk is fun!” He said and laughs loudly.

Alexa’s pov 🎀

I yawn tiredly and stretch my body… I m-ssage my fingers.

“Tired?” Aunt ask.

“Yes, aunt!”

Aunt packs the invitations together and count them, it’s 67 in total.

“I’m sorry, honey, I didn’t mean for us to finish this today… It’s just I wanted us to write a few invitations until your event planner arrives…” She trails off with a guilty expression.

“Aunt, it’s not your fault, she didn’t show up… at least, we’re done with the invitations!”

She smiles and nod.

“Yes!”

Just then my stomach growls loudly… My hands unconsciously move to my stomach and I lets out a shy laugh.

“I’m sorry for keeping you here since morning” aunt apologised.

“It’s fine, aunt!”

“How about you stay for dinner?”

I’m really very hungry and I would like to stay for dinner..but then again, my mate is at home waiting for me.

Who knows if he’s cooked something awaiting my arrival.

“Aunt, I’ll just go back home instead!” I said politely.

“Wait a little while, dinner will be ready soon” she tries to persuade me.

“Xander must be waiting for me to come home for dinner”

She smiles brightly and nods.

“I understand, you can go dear!”

I get up and picked an apple from a tray on the table.

“Don’t forget about tomorrow… we’re going to get your wedding dress!”

“Yes, aunt!” The I rushes off.

I can feel aunt’s stare on me as I runs out.

★★★

Disappointment greets me when I got home. Xander’s not back yet from wherever he went.

I tried to mind-link him but couldn’t, his mind-link is blocked.

I guess, I’ll cook dinner then. I tossed my phone randomly on a sofa and strolls into the kitchen.

Putting my hair in a messy bun, I got into action.

Writer’s pov 🎀

Micah’s apartment…! 6:00pm…!

Micah dust his hands and smile in satisfaction… He look around the dining table and nod.

“Perfect!” He said.

He takes off the apron and rushes to his room to take a bath.

★★★

He comes out of his room, dressed in a well tailored suit.. he sits on a couch in the living.

He picks a small remote control from the table and presses a button… All the lights in the house switches off.

A_few_minutes_later…..

The door opens and Eleanor steps in, she gasp when she sees it’s dark everywhere!

“Why is it so dark here?” She questions herself.

Then, the lights suddenly turns on.

“Wow!” She awed with a smile as she looks around.

“Beautiful” she said. “It’s just like a fairy tale paradise!”

It’s shining and sparkling everywhere… cool country music plays in the background.

“Eleanor!”

She hears her name and turn. She sees Micah kneeling, holding out a box… He opens it and there’s a ring.

Eleanor gasps quietly. Micah smiles.

“What are you doing?” She asks.

“Sweetheart, is this enough?” He asked.

“What are you talking about?”

“I read your diary.. you want your husband to propose to you in a wonderland, right?”

Eleanor couldn’t speak, she simply nods with a smile.

“This is all I could come up with, I’m sorry if it’s not up to your requirements!”

She shakes her head frantically.

“This is wonderful, it’s magical” she said.

Micah laughs lightly.

“Sweetheart, I know I’m not a perfect man, people say I’m a playboy and not serious in life.. they’re right… ”

He trails off and watches her expression, she gives him an encouraging nod.

“I’m not serious in life, I mean, why should I be serious when my bro spoils me… He pays me monthly without me doing anything… He provides and takes care of all my every needs.. he doesn’t let me suffer!”

He took a brief pause.

“Heck, he bought this house with his own money and gifts it to me… I’m really not serious in life but I have only one serious thing in my life”

He pause and stares directly in her eyes.

“You… Eleanor Roosevelt Armstrong McCall.. is the only serious thing I’ve got in my life. And I don’t mind giving everything I have to you.. I don’t mind giving my life to you!”

Eleanor bites her tongue as she feels herself blushing.

“Just give me a chance to love you, care for you and be your slave… Be my woman! Be my wife, please!”

Eleanor couldn’t hold it in anymore..she let down the tears she’s being trying to hold in.

No one has ever pleaded with her before, no one has ever taken her serious, she has always being a slave to everyone.

But now someone is pleading with her… taking her serious… And willing to be her slave.

“Please, Eleanor!” Micah said.

She quickly nods her head and reach out her hand.. Micah sl¡ps the ring in her ring finger and gets up.

Eleanor jumps in his arms and took a big step, she did something she never thought she’d do.

She crashes her l-ips on his.. Micah is very fast in reciprocating her k-ss.

Their k-ss is passionate… she breaks the k-ss and rests her forehead on his.

“Thank you, sweetheart, I love you!”

“I.. I…”

Micah laughs.

“It’s fine, take your time to practice it.. I can wait until it’s used to you!”

She nods. Micah walks towards the dinning table, Eleanor looks at the table and her eyes bulge out.

“Smells delicious!”

“Yeah, let’s taste it…”

He helps her sit down on a chair and sits next to her.

“… we have a lot of wine to go with these delicacies!”

Eleanor sniffs deeply and sighs.

“Let’s dig in!”

Alexa’s pov 🎀

My eyes connect with the wall clock… It’s reading, 7:29pm!

I gro-n and stare back at the dishes I made, they are getting cold… I tried our mind-link again but it’s still blocked.

I pick up my phone and tries his number again and still couldn’t reach him.

What’s happening?! Where’s Xander?! I questioned myself worriedly.

Ding ding ding! I hear the doorbell rings, I get up and rushes towards it.

“Who’s there?” I asked holding onto the knob.

“Luna, it’s me Connor!”

I quickly open the door and frown when I see Xander resting on him… like he’s fallen asleep on Connor.

“Come in, quickly!” I ushers him in.

He steps in dragging Xander along, he heads upstairs to our room without asking for direction.

I follow behind him. He steps into our room and lays Xander on the bed, I take off his shoes and jacket.. then covers him with a blanket.

He reeks of alcohol… I knew instantly that he’s been drinking!

“Connor, what happened?” I asked.

Connor stares at Xander and sighs.

“You can talk to him about it when he wakes up… Just let him rest now!”

“Talk to him about what?” I asked.

“You’ll know when he wakes up!” He simply replies and head out.

I wanted to see Connor off, but Xander suddenly catches my hand and pulls me… I fell on him.

“Xander, what are you doing?”

He laughs. And here I am thinking he’s asleep.

“I’m holding… My.. my baby!” He hiccups.

I try to get off him but he throws his arm tightly around my wa-ist.

“You.. you lied to me, baby!”

“I lied to you?” I asked.

He nods slowly.

“You lied… You lied to my face!” He said.. sounding a bit serious.

What did I lie about? Wait.. can I take a drunken man’s words seriously?

Maybe I should just ask him what I lied about.

“Xander?”

“Hmm?” He hums.

“What did I lie about?”

He stares at me sleepily, or maybe it’s because he’s drunk that I feel he’s sleepy.

“You don’t know…?” He asked.

I shake my head.

“I’ll… I’ll.. tell you, baby, you… you… lied a-about….”

He didn’t finish his words before he falls asleep. I sighed.

Great! Just great!

I was waiting for him to come home so we can have dinner together… but here he is, drunk!

Dead drunk!

I guess I’ll just eat alone! I get off him and head downstairs.

★★★★

Next morning…! 8:00am…!

I stare at myself in the full length mirror next to my dresser.. a smile appears on my face.

I’m dressed in a black, tight gown that stops right at the top of my knees… I wore white ballerina flats and carried a small bag.

I hear Xander clears his throat behind me and I turn.. he’s awake and resting his head on the headboard.

His eyes move along my body and he looks away… I move closer to the bed and sits next to him.

He rubs his forehead and gro-ns.

I reach for the aspirin I place on the nightstand and hands it to him.

“Here, it will cure your hangover!”

He looks at the aspirin in my hand and shakes his head…he frowns slightly.

“Come on, don’t tell me you’re scared of drugs!” I chuckle.

“Take it away!” He said simply.

“No, you need it to get rid of your hangover!”

He glares at my hand briefly before pushing it away, making the aspirin fall into a corner… I couldn’t even see where it fell into.

“I said I don’t want it!” He growls.

I sigh.

“What’s wrong? Did something happened yesterday?”

He ignores me.

“You came home drunk last night and Connor brought you back, I asked him about it but he said I should talk to you… So, what happened?” I asked.

He was so wasted last night and I really wanna know what him drank so much.

“Nothing!” He said in a kinda cold voice.

“Nothing? Then did you just decided to get drunk for nothing?” I asked again.

He doesn’t reply me. Hmm.. I know something is bothering him.. but I’m not gonna force him to say it since he doesn’t wanna.

“Fine, don’t tell me. I made breakfast for you, it’s in the dinning table.. freshen up and go eat if before it gets cold!”

No reply, not even a grunt from him. I get up and adjust my dress… I pose in front of him.

“Xander, I’m going out, what do you think about my outfit?”

He stares at me and look away without saying a word.

“Is it beautiful?”

“Hmm!” He simply hums.

I smile. “I’m going out of town today!”

He snaps his neck towards me and opens his mouth to speak.. but he suddenly stops himself, like he just remember something.

He leans back on the bed and nods.

I narrow my eyes.

“Are you letting me go?! You don’t wanna ask what I’m going to do outside?! Or whom I’m going with?!” I asked.

He shakes his head.

“Or who I’m going to meet?!”

He shakes his head again. I narrow my eyes again, this is strange… Xander is acting a bit strange.

“Are you ok, Xander?”

“Just go!” He said.

I wanna argue with him, I wanna provoke him into telling me what’s wrong…but that will just make me delay aunt’s appointment.

“Fine! We’ll talk about this when I get back, gotta go!” I said.

I lean down to k-ss him but he moves his head away and get off the bed… He walks into the bathroom and slams the door shut.

Wait… Why do I feel like he’s giving me a cold shoulder?!

Anyway, we’ll talk when I get back!

To be continued.
