Chapter 58
“I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, but one thing I know is this” he paused
“What?” I asked unable to hide the anticipation in my voice
“You are the best decision I have ever made” he got down on one knee and I gasped
“I know that I have lost your trust, but I promise that I will do my best to make you happy, you are my priority from this day forward and I promise that as long as you wear this I will be yours for all eternity, you are mine and most importantly I am yours” tears started streaming down my face as he continued “Scarlett Marie Robers I promise to hold your hand and never let it go, I pledge my mind, body and soul to you, I love you, will you marry me?”
“You know I’ve already said yes right?” I asked wiping the tears from my face with a chuckle
“I know, but since then I have let you down so many times and I want to make a re-commitment to you and assure you that my heart is yours” I looked back at him and my heart melted, there is no other love like this, how will I ever leave his arms and go back to school again.
“Will you marry me Scar?” I knelt down and cupped his cheeks
“Yes, of course, Aid you have taught me how to love, through loving you I have learnt to open my heart and be venerable, you have my heart like no other, in this life or the next my heart will always belong to you” he smiled and put the ring on my finger, he pulled my face to his and kissed me. We cuddled in the bed and talked for hours catching up on the last three months, I had no idea how much pressure he was under, as the Alpha he was like the police, a lawyer, and the judge at the same time, from eight am to six pm he is either in meetings or just about to go into a meeting or he has just been in a meeting, as he talked I could feel the stress and strain he was under through the deep vibration in his voice. He was working hard to increase the Packs influence and that meant that he had to travel a lot, I have been so selfish only thinking about how much I missed him and how miserable I’ve been without him I didn’t even stop to think of what he must have been going through, my heart pained as I held him tightly.
“Hey, are you okay?” he chuckled hugging me back
“Yeah I’m fine”
“Scar it’s me your talking to come on tell me the truth” I took a deep breath
“It’s just that I didn’t…I mean I had no idea of the stress and strain you’ve been under, I wish I could have been there for you” I felt like the most selfish person in the world “I promise to put you first, from now on I’m gonna think about you for a change”
“Oh, my Scar” he whispered pulling me under him, he held me tightly and buried his head in my neck and started nibbling slowly sending electricity down my spine. Here we go again I thought to myself, I just can’t control myself around him, I love getting lost in his eyes, I love how safe I feel in his arms
“Promise me you’ll keep loving me like this, please don’t ever stop loving me like this” I said giving myself over to him and letting myself get lost in the ripples of our passion.

I woke up in the morning with a big satisfied smile, I turned and felt around for him but he wasn’t there, I get why he would have left in the middle of the night but still a part of me felt disappointed that he wasn’t there, I can’t wait for the day when waking up in the same bed is a norm for us, I pulled the blankets off me and let my feet touch the ground I let out a big sigh as I looked around noticing how lonely and cold the room feels without him, it’s funny I grew up in this room and for most of my life it felt like a sanctuary but now it felt like a brick wall weighing me down. I picked up my phone and my heart leaped when I saw a text from Aiden
“Didn’t wanna wake you, see you tonight” I held the phone to my heart, and all was well in the world again, I walked to the kitchen
“Oh, morning mom” she shrugged back at me, and the memory of my foolish and childish behaviour came rushing back to me. “I’m sorry mama, I acted like a toddler, it’s not who I am, and you didn’t raise me that way, and I plan to apologise to Mr Fisher as well as soon as I see him again” I gave her my most innocent look, my arms clamped together in front of me with my head in a small bow and my eyes shyly glimpsing at her, she looked at me and her face softened, I pouted some more making my famous puppy face, this baby has gotten me out of a lot of sticky situations before, like when I was in the seventh grade when I forgot to get my mother to sign the permission slip to go to the science fair, I only remembered on the morning of the trip and I was already at school, I fished it out of my bag and faked her signature, to be honest I thought I would get away with it, and I would have if my stupid school wasn’t as great as it was at informing the parents of all the goings on, I mean they would take pictures and give status reports all the way to the venue and all the way back, I tried my best to dodge the camera but I guess one caught me and mom saw that I went and well let’s just say she didn’t take it well, but these eyes and cheeks managed to get me off with only a two day grounding, I haven’t asked much of this supper power and now was the time to collect.
“Fine, I forgive you, now stop, you know I can’t say no to that face” I screeched and ran around the counter over to her and hugged her tight.
“What are you making” she gave me a knowing look, holding her finger up in my face with her eyebrows furrowed
“breakfast” I said looking at her apprehensively “and you, what are you making?” Her face lit up and she offered me a big smile
“Popcorn check, hot chocolate check and nice cosy blankets check” she said raising a fingers with each check
“Yay” I clapped my hands franticly in anticipation of the day ahead “does this mean we are starting with The Hobbit marathon?”
“No way, why would we do such a thing?”
“Need I remind you that you bailed on me yesterday therefore it stands to reason that it’s my day to choose”
“Need I remind you of your behaviour yesterday?”
“Alright, alright you win” I conceded, we snuggled up under the blanket and started the movie, she handed me the popcorn “is this what you feed your only daughter for breakfast” I mocked her playfully “tisk, tisk, tisk”
“You know where the kitchen is” she scoffed back making me giggle
After the last Matrix trilogy I went to my room and took a bath, I got dressed in jeans, a blouse and boots, I covered it all up in a heavy coat, one thing I hate more than anything in the entire world is winter and the month of July was the coldest of the winter months, I didn’t feel like I had enough layers “I hope Aiden is taking me someplace warm” I said looking at myself in the mirror, I heard mom mumble something and I went out. “Did you say something?”
“Time for The Hobbit” she said not even looking at me
“Sorry but I’ve got a date”
“What” she said finally looking up at me and her jaw dropped to the ground
“Ding, dong” the doorbell rang
“Well, that’s me, see you later” she put her hands up in protest but said nothing
“now you know how it feels, see you later, love you” I said blowing her a kiss and closing the door, I imagined her jaw on the floor, she was in disbelief that’s for sure, I chuckled lightly to myself.
“Hi honey” his voice was like a melody slowly caressing my cheek, “shall we” I nodded and took his stretched-out hand.
“So where are you taking me?”
“Don’t freak out but were having dinner with my parents today”
“What?”
