“Oh darling, that’s not going to happen. Now that I’ve marked you, rejection will kill both of us,” I answer, and her eyes widen. “That’s why I’m willing to wait for you to say it back. I love you, and I know it’s unconventional because we don’t know each other, but we have our entire future to get to know one another. This isn’t just some fling, and we’re not casually dating. You are my one and only. You are my forever,” she stared at me for a minute before she crashed her l!ps into mine. I held her tightly while still on the floor of our room. The kiss was deep and passionate. She pulled away slightly, and deeply sighed,
“Hugo, that was seriously the most beautiful and thoughtful thing anyone has ever said to me,”
“And I meant every word, darling,” she smiled and hugged me. I held her against me like I was afraid she would disappear on me. After holding each other for a moment, we finally got up and decided to eat a smaller dinner in the cottage rather than going back to the packhouse. Although there was a meal waiting for us, I wanted more alone time with Lisa.
I wondered how Mad and Darius were doing with their mates.
***Natalie’s
P.O.V.***
After Maddox and I made it to his house, I was surprised to see it so clean and neat. Men I knew were always such pigs, but I guess Maddox was different. It was a nice change.
“So, I know the Alpha said that dinner was going to be served, but I figured it would be better if we ate here and got to know each other a little more,” Maddox said to me while he started to rummage through his fridge. “I’m okay with that,” I replied as I watched him from the couch in his living room. “What are you going to make?”
“Chicken parmesan, you good with that?”
“Yes, I love pasta!” I exclaimed. “I would show you how big my a.ss is, but I just realized my bubble b**t is gone,” I said when I felt the non-existence of my once lushes bum.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Natalie, your a.ss still looks bubbly to me,”
“It used to be so much bubblier. I had h!ps like J-Lo, but after only eating one meal a day for several months, my body ate all the fat from my a.ss,”
“Hahaha!” Maddox laughed as he put the water on the stove and got the chicken out of the baggie.
“It’s not funny! I loved my a.ss. It was my biggest asset,”
“Well, good thing I’m not an a.ss kind of guy,”
“You’re not?” I was shocked. “I thought all guys were a.ss kind of guys,”
“Consider me part of the minority,” he responded while beating the chicken with the back of the knife.
“Wow, you know what you’re doing,” I said and came over to watch him up close.
“My grandmother always made sure I knew how to cook, so whenever I found my mate, I could wine and dine her,”
“Your grandma was a smart lady,”
“That she is,”
“Is? She’s still alive?”
“Oh yeah, all of my grandparents and parents are. They’re all here in the pack,”
“Oh, wow,” I kind of backed away.
“What’s wrong?” he asked when he saw I backed away.
“It’s just that… I’ve never had to do ‘meet the parents’ before,”
“Really? I would think that guys you dated when you were human would be dying to introduce you to their families. I know I am,”
“Well, it was never that simple for me,”
“What do you mean?”
“I was kind of messed up teenager. I wasn’t the type of girl that guys took home to their mamas. I was good at school, but bad at everything else,” Maddox stopped what he was doing and turned around to face me. “I smoked pot, dig recreational drugs, and slept around a lot. I was the ‘other girl’ most of the time,” I said using finger quotes. He didn’t say anything, and just turned back around to put the pasta in the boiling water and breaded the chicken.
“I’m not ignoring you; I just don’t want to get sidetracked,” he said to me. “Keep talking, I’m still listening,”
“Oh okay, um, well, there’s nothing much else to say, other than once when I got to college, I calmed down a bit. Mostly because one of my closest friends overdosed on heroin, and that scared me into getting clean. My dad was in the military for most of his life, still is actually, so you would think that would keep me grounded and on the straight and narrow, but it made the little s**t head that I was. My parents were too busy working all the time, or my dad was always being deployed for years at a time that he was never around. He did teach me self-defense but that was it. So, I lashed out by doing drugs and becoming a self-proclaimed teenage w***e,”
“I’m sorry your parents never made time for you. I honestly don’t know what that’s like. Most werewolves don’t. We’re social beings, and we live for family. We live for our mates,” he replied while stirring the pasta and frying the chicken at the same time. “But, what I can tell you is that I don’t care about your past. Not that it’s not important, because it is, but I mean that I won’t judge you for it. It’s not my place to judge. We grew up in different worlds essentially. I won’t pretend to know what the human world is like, but what I can do is teach you what this world is like, and in this world, where werewolves are real, the only thing I care about is that you’re in my life now, and I intend on letting the entire world know that, you Natalie…” he paused a minute and looked at me. “Bligh,”
“Natalie Bligh, are my mate and one true love,”
“Love?” I repeated in shock.
“Yes, love. I love you, Natalie,”
“Whoa! Hold on, Maddox, we just met!”
“And I told you, you’re in my world now. When wolves find their mates, it’s game over like the Luna said. I fell in love the moment I smelled your scent. Then I saw you, and it was literally game over. You had my heart, every last bit of it,” “Maddox, that’s insane,”
“For a newborn like you it is, but someone like me who was born a werewolf, it’s normal,” he replied and strained the pasta, and then placed into the saucepan where the sauce was simmering. He pulled the chicken from the oil and plated them. He put some cheese on top, and then plated the pasta. He came over with the plates, and then went back to get utensils and drinks.
“Wow, Maddox, this looks amazing,”
“I hope you like,” I smiled and took a bite of the pasta and moaned.
“Oh s**t, this sauce is heaven! What brand is this?”
