“Thank you, Nick,” she said and looked up.
“Can I ask you a favor?” I said.
“Sure.”
“I know this is going to be hard for you, but please don’t be afraid of me. And Gabriel,” I said. “We both love you and we wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.”
She sighed and nodded. “I know that. It is just hard. Sometimes I can’t control my body’s reactions. I know I shouldn’t be afraid, but I am.”
“I know, love. I will wait as long as it takes for you to be comfortable. I just wanted you to know that you shouldn’t be afraid of me,” I said and continued to rub the back of her hand.
I could see that my touch was calming her down. Despite her fear.
“I am sorry,” she said quietly. “I wish I could be the mate you need.”
A single tear rolled down her cheek and my heart broke.
I pulled her in my arms, not caring about her fear. She needed me. And the bond will make her see that.
I hugged her tightly. She fitted perfectly in my arms. She was made for me.
“No, love. You are everything that I need,” I whispered in her ear.
She pulled back from me and wiped her cheeks. “Thank you, Nick.”
“No need to thank me, love,” I said and caressed her cheek with my thumb.
She smiled and I got up. “Okay, time to go to bed.”
“Yeah,” she sighed. “I will see you tomorrow.”
We walked to the front door, and I turned to her. I hugged her and kissed her forehead.
“Good night, love,” I said. “Lock the door.”
“I will,” she smiled. “Good night, Nick.”
I turned and walked towards my house. Goddess, I wanted to stay with her. I will have to talk to my parents about living at Gabriel’s. I can’t be away from her. Especially now that there was somebody out there that wanted to hurt her, and now that Victor knew about her.
Does he know about Gabriel as well? Why didn’t he try to take them already? What is he waiting for?
I will have to talk to Gabriel about this. And figure out a way to tell Aria the truth. We can’t wait much longer. She has a right to know.
I unlocked the front door and stepped inside. My parents were sitting on a couch, watching a movie.
“Hey, sweetie,” my mom said. “Where have you been?”
“At Gabe’s,” I said and sat on the sofa.
“How is Aria?” my mom asked with a big smile on her face.
My parents were so happy when I told them she was my mate. And my mom couldn’t stop talking about how pretty she was.
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. “Not so good.”
“Why?” my mom gasped. “What happened?”
I told my parents about what happened to her. They listened to me carefully. I could see the pain and worry in their eyes.
