Chapter 50: My True Mate

The next morning, I woke to Zander’s sleeping face next to me. My heart almost burst with how much I loved him. I smiled to myself remembering the day before. I stroked his hair and moved a strand away from his eyes.

It was almost hard to stop stroking his hair. As Zander slept, I heard him say something.

I thought it was sweet how he said my name while sleeping. I knew what he was dreaming about and felt happy he couldn’t get me off his mind. Zander wouldn’t get out of my mind either.

A few more minutes later, I got of bed and went into the shower with my clothes from the day before. I didn’t care if I repeated my outfit.

While I was waiting for the water to get hot, Zander came in and slowly took in the sight of me. He was still naked from our night together.

Zander approached me and whispered in my ear, “Want me to join you?”

I nodded my head and stepped into the shower. The water was hot and so was Zander’s gaze.

Zander pressed me against the wall and knelt down near my feet. He kissed me on my inner thighs before placing two fingers into my core.

I moaned loudly when he started sucking on my heat.

After he was done, Zander stood up and pinned my arms above my head. He parted my lips with his tongue slowly.

We continued to kiss passionately, as he kept exploring my body with his hands.

When he started to thrust into me, I was already so turned on. He continued kissing and caressing my body.

Eventually I had my leg wrapped around his waist while I leaned against the shower wall. Zander placed his two fingers into my wetness and kissed me roughly on the neck.

His fingers thrust in and out of me at a slow pace. Zander rubbed his fingers back and forth on my clit. I moaned at his touching of my body.

After a while, I carefully unwrapped myself from Zander. He reached behind me and turned off the water before sliding the shower door open. Then he picked me up and set me on the bath mat.

Zander then reached for the towels. He dried me off and made sure to squeeze my butt and caress my breasts while in the process.

After he dried me off, I did the same for him. I teased him when I dried off his lower half by stroking his shaft with my hand. He groaned at my touch.

I finished drying Zander off and wrapped my towel around myself and left the bathroom. Zander followed me when I was close to the door to leave his room.

Zander grabbed my wrist and asked, “Are you leaving already?”

“Yeah, I’ve got to get some stuff from my room.”

Zander frowned and let go. I felt his eyes on me when I left his room.

I hurried back to my room and got dressed in a fresh set of clothes.

Someone knocked on my door not long after I had applied makeup.

Zander stood outside my door in a tight t-shirt and ripped jeans with those combat boots of his. “May I come in?”

I opened the door wider and motioned for him to sit somewhere. Zander sat on my bed and ran a hand through his hair.

Suddenly I had the urge to tell him something important. I knew it was a big risk of my heart.

“I want to tell you something Zander.”

“You can tell me anything.”

I swallowed and sat beside him while gazing at his face. “I want to accept you as my mate. You’re the only man I want.”

Now that Ash had broken his promise, I didn’t have to keep mine. Zander and I could be completely dedicated to each other.

Zander sighed and said, “I wish I could accept. But I still need to search for Maurice and Ash. I haven’t gotten my revenge yet. I’m sorry Cleo.”

I couldn’t believe he had rejected me as his mate again. Why was his revenge still at the top of his list? I knew it was a selfish thought to have. Why couldn’t he just be with me and forget about revenge?

An idea came to me out of nowhere. Maybe it could change Zander’s mind.

I told him, “I want to help you find them. My dad can continue to lead the pack, and I can go with you in search of your revenge. ”

Zander got thoughtful and looked away from my view.

Was he considering my offer? I hoped he would take it. My heart pounded in anticipation of his decision.

Zander moved closer to me and said, “I’ll agree to your idea.” He gazed at me with passion in his eyes and asked, “Now, will you accept my proposal?”

I held his hand and said, “Yes I’ll marry you.”

He leaned in and passionately kissed me while wrapping his arms around my neck.

In that moment, my heart was bursting with joy and happiness. I had finally found and accepted my mate after heartbreaking moments and dangerous journeys. I didn't know what the future held, since Ash and Maurice, and Candice were still out there, threatening my happiness. All I knew was that Zander was by my side, and nothing else mattered.
