CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO
***XAVIER'S POV***
Watching Tessa do something I'd been antsy about all these while without much stress terrified me.
Her blue blood had already hinted that she was very powerful but with each stride, I began to see how powerful she truly was.
Corbin’s brain was turned to mush right before my eyes and I couldn't even stop her.
It made me feel so proud and fucking horny but also scared. How is her human body adapting with all of these powers? I feared it becoming overwhelming and it hurting her in the long run.
But all that was a problem for another day.
For now, I had to make sure she was well rested and properly fed to keep her stable and to regain her strength.
I sent a guard to get Theresa to bring her food as I carried her sleeping form to our room.
The caveman part of me wanted to get her things back here but I knew that was the problem she had with me.
Hopefully, when I ask, she'll agree to move back in with me. The last time I sneaked into her room, she threw me out so I was sure teleporting to her room when she was asleep was out of the equation.
Memories of the sleepless nights I had when she was with those rebels made me terrified. I spent every night creating a connection with her and the tiredness always made me harsher than I'd meant to be.
I laid her down on the bed and paused to take her hair away from her face.
I stood over her, staring at her beautiful face and wishing our journey was less difficult than it was.
She deserves ease and a peaceful life, swimming across beautiful waters and eating as much pie as she could fit into her fluffy stomach. When she'd run away, I wished to simply disappear with her away from all of this drama and make her love me but then, who would i leave my responsibilities for?
A knock came at the door and I went to open it.
Zyx came in with Theresa and the trolley of food.
“She's going to eat all that?” Zyx asked a sweating Theresa.
I made sure the entire ship had air conditioner so I had no idea why she was sweating so much.
“I wanted to give her options. The baby might be selective,” she answered him with a blush.
She better not fall for Zyx, he was more broken than I was; and that's saying a lot coming from me.
I went to wake Tessa up but I guess she was really hungry because she was already rubbing her eyes from the fatigue of expending so much energy.
“Ohh, pecan pie,” she gushed and sat up, making me chuckle at her glee.
I helped her set the table closer to her and she began to eat.
Turns out that Theresa’s initiative of bringing a lot of food was perfect. She ate three different dishes before she was finally satisfied.
“That was… a lot,” she muttered as she dropped the glass after drinking water. “Is it if the baby or I've become a glutton?”
“You expended a lot of energy Mia Cara, it's normal to want to eat as much as possible afterwards. You'll rest up and by tomorrow, you'll be as good as new, okay?”
“Thank you,” she whispered with a yawn and lay back down and in no time, I began to hear her tiny wisps of a snore.
I couldn't the help smiling at her antics.
“What are you creeps staring at?” I barked as I turned around to see Zyx and Theresa.
I felt embarrassed at having being caught staring at Tessa like a creep.
Xy'thern was hollering in my head at that.
Zyx chuckled as he helped Theresa load the dishes back on the trolley.
After she left, he pulled out the office chair in the room and brought it closer to me.
As he sat down, I began unbuttoning my shirt, hopefully whatever he was going to talk about would be brief, I can't wait to get to bed.
I was exhausted.
“I wanted to talk to you about Astrum,” he began and I frowned in irritation. “I know he crossed the line, okay, he went overboard and I am completely on board with his punishment but his wife is suffering so much and has been pestering me about it because she's scared of approaching you. Is there any other punishment you can met out to him that'll let him live closer to his woman? They're soul bound too,” he finished.
“Zyx, I do not have the energy to think about this tonight. Ask me about it tomorrow, I'll see what I can do,” I replied dismissively and thankfully, he took the hint and got up.
After returning the chair, he left, finally leaving the room.
I sighed and went to lock the door after him.
Finally, I carried my mate's body and placed her carefully in my arms.
She curled herself around me, making my heart skip a few beats in excitement.
Finally, I could revel in the feeling of her forgiveness and the bond between us snapping back tightly.
For the first time in a while, I slept with a smile on my face.

The next day, I woke up early and prepared a bath for her before she woke up.
She'd complained about not bathing and I wanted that to be the first thing we did before I'll take her to the living quarters.
It was either she was made happy by the fact that my people have finally accepted her or that I'd break anyone who as much as frowned close to her.
“Hey Baby,” she whispered with a smile as I walked out of the bathroom.
My body paused mid-stride.
Was she that happy to see me?
“Good morning Mia Cara, did you sleep well?” I was all smiles as I went to her on the bed
She'd finally turned me into a lovesick puppy and I didn't even mind it. I loved how my heart took leaps at every dose of attention she fed me.
“Yea. Having you close to me while I sleep is like a cheat code,” she giggled.
“Really?” I puffed my chest as she nodded. “Does this mean you'll move back in here with me?” I asked hopefully.
“Hmm, we'll see.”
“Whenever you're ready babe. For now, come let me bathe you.”
She got down from the bed and I carried her in my arms
