(Alexander)

I kept my arms wrapped around Scarlett as she lay asleep in my arms. I was thankful for her presence around my side, the fact that she was comfortable with something that I couldn’t help but admire, especially since I knew that she was feeling the way that she was because she was simply by my side.

Her c*hest rose and fell with each breath that she took, but I had to admit, knew that I wouldn’t be able to stand strong had it not been for her. At least I knew that someone was there for me. Regardless of all the situations that we were in and our daughter, she was going to be safe and secured. It was the one thing that I cared about, and I knew that Scarlett felt the same way about it.

The woman, my woman, was being my support despite everything that I have done to her, and that fact alone was enough to make my heart skip a beat for her. I knew that I owed her everything that I had and the fact that she had given up so much for me, especially after learning where everything that she has done been through was a lie. All that was something that I couldn’t ignore. The woman could have been living a different life. She could have been living a happier one. And yet she was f*orced to deal with so much pain. Pain that I knew that I wouldn’t be able to handle or deal with. And yet she was choosing to stand strong from my side. And she was choosing to be with my daughter by my side when I knew that she could have run away long time ago. The way she spoke to me, looked at me, and even ran her finger over my c*hest made my heart swell with feelings that I couldn’t even translate if I wanted to. I knew that I was in love with her. That was something that I wouldn’t deny for the world. But this was more than just love. This was something deeper, something bigger, something that I would never be able to explain to her if I tried. And that was something that I hoped that she saw through my eyes. I hope that she saw my love through my eyes, through for her, especially when she was standing for me. I’ve been alone.

It was more or less a feeling that fairy tales explained it was something more than love, more than lust, and more than desire. It was something that I knew that I would cherish for the world, for her sake, for mine, and for our daughter. And that was something that she needed to know about. For now, the two of us needs to get out of here, and I was going to do everything in my power to get us out of here. I was going to do everything in my power to secure her and me and my daughter. For now, we just needed to stay low and make sure that we didn’t get caught by anyone.

I knew that I needed to call someone to help. I had tried calling people from Italy, but I knew they’re going there. Would only list our lives, therefore rush out was my last and only resolve. However, I knew the risk that I had to deal with if I weren’t there. Blood in there.

The one person that I knew who would agree to except us. There would be asking for a lot in return, and I didn’t know if I was going to be willing to accept it. However, not accepting it was going to risk a lot more than I can afford.

It was something that I knew for fact that I, as a person, wouldn’t be able to do. At least Scarlett and Anastasia didn’t deserve it. But they needed to be safe, and that was something that I owed to them, especially considering that Scarlett chose to give up a lot for me.

I wasn’t going to be able to have her pure heart of gold, nor was I going to be able to cope with everything that she has gone through for me. If anything, I knew that she was a person that has given up more than I would have ever expected or could have ever asked her to do for my sake. The woman not only knew of her family dying at our family’s hands and her being eliminated as an Omega when I knew that she was supposed to be an alpha. She didn’t even speak about it. She didn’t express her anger or her pain. She just stood strong for my sake. That was something that I would never forget, especially as we healed. And got stronger. I was going to make sure that everyone who has been part of hurting her paid for this.

“You are awake,” She stated, raising herself to look at me. I smiled and leaned in to k*iss her temple before purring in response. I knew that she could feel me. My breathing was not as calm as it would be so when I was asleep. But the last thing that I expected was for her to wake up. Especially not this early at least.

“I have been for a while, but seeing you asleep as peacefully as you were, I didn’t have it in me to wake you up. I am sorry.” I said, and she smiled as she raised herself to look at me. I had to admit, her smile was what was keeping me going despite the tough place that we were in right now. Though I didn’t know what hid behind that smile, if anything, I knew for a fact that she was in pain, and her not letting me know or not letting me in that pain made me worry. I didn’t know how she was going to deal with everything but. I knew that things were not going to be as easy as pie. I just hope that she spoke up to me and that she wasn’t just being my own support, I wanted to be hers as well.

The two of us were on the run with our baby girl who couldn’t even speak. The maids and nurses were at constant risk by our sides and I knew that their presence wouldn’t be for long with us. We had to have them leaving, they weren’t going to risk their families, their lives, and whatever they had for us, it wouldn’t be fair for them to begin with.

“You know that the two of us are going to be leaving with Nasia from here, right? We won’t be able to take the nurses or maids with us.” I said, and Scarlett nodded. I knew that she wouldn’t mind, she was mostly responsible when it came to tending with Anastasia and wouldn’t like the maids or nurses to take care of her. The girls were with her to simply help Scarlett if an emergency did occur. At times, when there was something that she didn’t know, having a nurse has helped. But now, I knew that she didn’t need to learn from them, she would somehow manage to tend to things on her own.

“You know for fact that I was never conducted on the maids thing. Yes, they did help, but my daughter is my child, and I am the one who should be taking care of her, and not them.” She said, making my heart skip a beat. The two of us were leaving to Detroit later today before we took a plane to Russia. It was the only thing that I could think of for now, we couldn’t go to Italy, father might expect us heading there and could have men waiting for us to go. Therefore, heading to a friend would mostly be the right thing to do.

“I can’t express how happy I am to have you as a wife. I swear, I don’t even know what I did to be as blessed as I am to have a wife like yourself, but whatever it is, I know for fact that I will be doing it again, and again until I know that you are going to be in my life for good.” I said, and Scarlett smiled. I could swear that her existence in my life itself was nothing but a dream. Her kindness, her beautiful heart, her smile. Everything about her was just something that I couldn’t help but adore.

The way she looked at me, and her innocence, it was just something that I didn’t want to leave behind no matter what it cost me. “You know for fact that I won’t leave you as long as you want me in your life, Alexander.” She said, making my heart skip a beat. “It is something that I never want you forgetting, and I know that you will sometimes, but that is fine and also normal. I will just keep reminding you of it every once and a while to ensure that you never do forget it.”

I chuckled and leaned in to k*iss her temple, making her smile. The woman was an Angel sent from above. It was the only explanation that I could give to the behavior that she was letting out. It was impossible for someone to have such. Clear heart without being intent from different ways. I knew that for a fact. If anything, I knew that it was no St. and I knew that I deserve what she was giving me. And yet she was more than welcome to doing so, and she was doing it happily. That was something that I couldn’t help but admire.

“And you know, when the two of us are out of here, and when things have somewhat calmed down, I was thinking about us giving our little Nasia a brother or sister.” She said, making my eyes widen in surprise. The fact that she wanted this was something that I would have never expected, especially not after everything that happened between us during Anastasia’s early days. Scarlett was weaker than she could have ever been, and rather than being the support that she needed at the time, I was the person who gave her hell.

It still surprised me that she had it in her to forgive me, but if I thought that it was a surprise to me that she forgave me, the fact that she wanted to start a family with me came as a surprise that I wouldn’t have expected if anyone had paid me to believe it.

“You want to make a family with me? Even after everything that happened?” I asked and Scarlett smiled. The two of us were yet to even speak about her being the rightful Alpha of the pack. The fact that my family had her family being omegas when they were the rightful pack Alpha and Luna was not something that I could ignore, but I knew that I shouldn’t be adding any salt to the wound that I knew that my father scratched in her.

How Jordan knew of this, I didn’t know, but I knew that I wouldn’t let him or Delilah easily get away with this. If anything, both were going to pay for what they were making us all live through, and I would be starting with Delilah who knew what she was getting into the second she actually brought her father to stand against me on my wedding day.

The woman not only ruined the wedding for the two of us, nor did she ruin what was supposed to be my beauty’s best night, but she also ruined a pack that was united. I didn’t know what the fate of my pack was right now, and I didn’t even dare try to think of what might have happened to my mother; however, I knew one thing, this was something that I was not going to drop or ignore. The pain that I felt for my mother was one that I couldn’t explain it, specially since I knew that speaking about it to Scarlett was not something that I favored. The woman, regardless of being supportive towards me, wouldn’t have wanted her to be strong and alive. At least that was how things were in my mind. I knew that I wouldn’t want her alive after I heard what she did if I was in her place. To say the least, Scarlett didn’t show that she was angry, but I knew that she was, and I knew that she was in pain. But her hiding had only made me worry, and the thing was, I didn’t know until once she would be able to hide it.

One way or another, I was going to find a way to set everything back to normal. But at this point I didn’t even know what normal was going to be. The park was disoriented, my wife was being quiet, and I didn’t know what our fate was going to be at this point.

“Why would you think otherwise, Alexander? I am your mate and…”

“You know for fact why I might think the way that I am, Scarlett.” I said softly, stopping her from asking. I knew that she was trying to run away from the topic, but it was one that I didn’t want her escaping from, if anything, I wanted her to talk about it with me.

“What happened at the pack will stay there between the boundaries of the pack. And if you are referring to my family, then I know for fact that you have done nothing wrong toward me. Yes, the two of us have had or conflicts, but I know you well enough to know that you wouldn’t have done what they have to my family; therefore, you are my mate and my husband, and whatever it is that you plan on telling me about this, I don’t want to hear it.” Scarlett said, her tone firm as she spoke. “As for starting a family withy you, yes. I want to not only start a family, but I want them to grow and I want our family to grow stronger than it has ever been.”

She said, looking me in the eyes. “Therefore, when things have settled a bit, I want the two of us to start trying for another baby. That is, of course, if YOU want to have another baby with me…”
