Bella She watched as Parker sent Whit off with Milly about half an hour after theyd arrived to get themselves something to drink and a snack if they liked , and hed actually walked them out of the room and pointed them in the direction to go .
Before stepping back into the room and closing the door , which had been open all morning .
He looked right at her and sighed , before walking across the room to stand next to her bed .
Weve not had a moment alone since you woke up .
he stated as he looked down at her .
Annette had helped her to sit up , propped some pillows behind her and used the bed mechanics to help her sit as comfortably as possible .
She knew that was true , but wasnt expecting his hand to touch her face as he sat on the edge .
of the bed .
You scared the hell out of me .
he murmured softly .
Dont ever do that again .
Bella frowned at him .
I didnt do it .
I had no control over what happened , Parker .
Π I know that , I was just … he sighed heavily and then just leaned forward and hugged her .
He murmured softly , his hand up in her hair and the other curled around her back .
Ive wanted to do this since the moment you opened your eyes .
He half whispered .
She didnt stop him from hugging her , sighed softly herself and hugged him back .
She knew the man wanted to start a new relationship with her .
Hed made himself plainly clear and told her he loved her even , and if he did actually love her , seeing her like that would have scared him , hurt him in all likelihood .
She could give him a little comfort back .
I heard you donated blood , a lot of it , she stated , and pulled back from him to look at him .
Mm , he nodded .
Id have given you everything just to see you survive .
His hand brushed through her hair as he looked at her.
Parker ! she frowned .
You cant do things like that , what would become of your pack if you died ? You would have gotten it .
Then Whit , when he had completed Alpha College .
He told he simply as though hed not only thought about it , but put it in place even .
His eyes met hers as she stared at him more than shocked .
Im going to kiss you , Belladonna .
He told her softly as his eyes moved from hers to her mouth .
she put a hand up to stop him , understood his desire to kiss her , it was very much a Mate thing after a stressful event and her dying was stressful for him , she could imagine , 1/4 seeing as that was what he wanted for them once more .
We need to talk .
His eyes moved back to hers , and she could see he wasnt happy about her delaying what he likely needed , but she was just confused about .
But he stayed put .
What you did was more than silly .
What if we both died , and your efforts to give me all your blood didnt work ? What would happen then , to Whit and Milly , if neither of us survived ? she asked .
She didnt want him to be one of those Mates that would drain themselves dry .
You would have survived , it as up to me to save you .
That is what Selena told me .
I just figured it could mean I had to die for you to live … So , I was willing to Belladonna , I love you and I would sacrifice myself to save you .
But I would never ask you to do something like that .
She muttered , and she wouldnt .
If fate meant she was to die , then that was it .
No one was to take her place and she wouldnt want anyone to die for her either .
I know that , he nodded .
Youre selfless , and youd make for a good Alpha to any pack , so leaving it in your hands , I knew that would be fine .
Parker … she sighed only to find his hand on her chin tilting it up .
This pack , is yours if something happens to me , goes to Whit when hes old enough .
Ive already put it on paper, Milly is allowed to take over and run one of the subsidiary packs .
My unit are aware of all of this , as are my elders that run the subsidiary packs .
So theres no arguing with me on this .
I did it months ago , he told her .
Bella was staring right at him now , kind of speechless , hearing those words come from him .
I really want to kiss you Belladonna , he murmured .
Every fiber in my being is screaming at me to kiss you .
I nearly lost you … and I just .
She smiled at him a little , she could hear it in his voice , his need , and shed never seen or heard him like this before with her .
Youve been through a lot , are emotional .
She nodded .
Shed seen everything with Mates in hospitals when it came to losing loved ones .
She kind of understood it .
Yes , and I dont ever want to feel that again .
He nodded and tilted her face up to his , Forgive me .
he murmured as his eyes landed on her mouth once more , and his thumb brushed over it slowly , tenderly .
For ? she asked .
Everything in our past .
For my need to kiss you out weighing everything right now , he murmured , and his mouth was on hers a moment later , soft and gentle as his hand slid along her jaw to cup her face .
She saw his eyes close and let him kiss her .
It wasnt like hed never kissed her before or she him .
Shed kissed him a million times as his mate .
The man had always enjoyed kissing her while making love to her .
Shed not minded it always kissed him back even .
Kissed him back now , she understood it was what he actually needed right this minute , that it was even why hed ushered the children out of the room , she thought .
He wasnt the man hed been back then , closed off to her and only in her life because he had to be .
Hed told her what it was he wanted from her , was very open about it , and had told her once more he loved her , was willing to die and give her his entire pack .
She parted her lips a little , and he deepened the kiss , his tongue tangled with hers slowly , and as she actively kissed him back a low desire filled growl came from Vex , and she did actually know it was his beast and not Parker .
She knew the difference between them , eight years of being with both of them , she knew one from the other .
His beast had always been a growly creature in the bedroom .
A snort and then a chuckle came from her , and it broke the kiss .
Vex had always been impatient where she was concerned .
She looked at him , Parker , only to find Vex looking at her , and she saw the flicker between grey and blue as Parker and Vex vied for control of Parkers body , she supposed .
Then she saw those eyes solidify into grey and knew Vex had won the battle of wills .
His mouth crashed down onto hers , and he kissed the hell out of her , all alpha wolf needy and demanding .
His hands were firm in her hair the entire time as he practically devoured her mouth with his .
She was released and Vex sat staring at her , as a hand ran through her hair .
Missed you , he told her gruffly and then receded and Parker had control once more .
He sighed .
Sorry , I lost that battle .
He murmured .
She nodded .
It wouldnt be the first time either .
He nodded , Did he cause you any pain ? He indicated to her chest .
No , she shook her head , I wasnt , however , expecting that to happen .
And she wasnt .
They werent Mates and his wolf shouldnt have done that .
Hmm , neither was I , kind of why I lost the battle I think … Parker half smiled at her .
He shouldnt do that .
She leaned back on the pillows .
Im not his … 137 No.
Parker cut her off .
But he wants that as much as I do , he told her as he got up off the bed and took a few steps away from her .
She frowned at him , not understanding why hed back away so suddenly , and he stated The children are coming .
She couldnt hear them , had not wolfen senses at all right this minute .
Hed likely been listening for them as well .
I dont know if youd want then to see something like that .
I wouldnt mind it but … he grabbed a chair and sat himself down as the door opened and Whit and Milly came into the room with not just drinks but snacks as well .
Lots of them .
The vending machine was free , press a button and get a snack , Whit told her with a grin .
She shook her head .
Yes , it had been like that when shed lived here .
They were simply in the vending machine to keep them cold and those that worked here could grab a snack on the go when it got hectic and forgot to eat , passed by it and suddenly realised they were hungry or hadnt eaten .
Perhaps some self control is needed then , she stated .
But they were free , Whit repeated .
She looked at Parker , who just shrugged it off .
It wont hurt them .
He stated and plucked a chocolate bar right out of Whits hand .
Ill take that its my faviourite .
he smiled at Whit ..
