CHAPTER 12


HAVEN'S POINT OF VIEW


We slept in the same room that night. Well, he didn't slept on the bed with me. He was thinking that I'd be uncomfortable with that. Instead, he choose to sleep on the floor just beside my bed. He laid a comforter there and I didn't really expect for him to still sleep soundly. I can even see that he was uncomfortable with his position. I told him to just sleep beside me but he said that he'll give me time to slowly adjust with his presence so I let him.


It seriously warmed me up. He was such a gentleman for still thinking of my own welfare despite the fact that he was uncomfortable sleeping on the floor. I felt guilty. He's a King here, if it isn't obvious, and then I'll just let him sleep on the floor? That was quite rude of me.


But he was right, anyway. Even though I am now slowly warming up to him, I know that I still have to adjust for me to get used with his presence...completely. With no tiny doubts and confusions. Just trust and faith.


The next day, I woke up with still a huge question mark on my forehead. Yes. I still have a lot of questions left unanswered since we weren't really able to finish our talk last night. He immediately cut it off when he saw me yawning.


The last words he said truly confused me but then... I guess I'll just have to ask it later. I have to let everything cool down first since I feel like he haven't truly forgotten everything that happened in his pack years ago. It's still a heartbreak for him. And I know how hard it is to just let the anger vanish like how tiny bubbles does. It wasn't easy as that. It wasn't as easy as pie.



I did say sorry for opening the closed wounds up. I was truly sorry and guilty and I feel like I can't sleep soundly without apologizing to him. I cried and he even have to comfort me and it took minutes before I finally calmed down. And then after the drama, I was already yawning, sleepy and tired of crying that's why he ended up tucking me to bed.



"You're awake,"


My eyes immediately turned towards where the voice came from. I blinked repeatedly when I saw him...topless and I got to face to his muscular body again. He was only covered with a piece of white towel down there. And I can see his... v-line.


I unconsciously gulped when I saw drops of water from his hair fell on his chest 'till it reached on his eight pack abs.


My lips slightly parted.


It looks like it is inviting me to feast on it! What the hell?! Why does his abs suddenly appear with a face?! And it was wearing a very scandalous smirk, brows slightly raised like it was taunting me to get a taste!


No!


I shook my head repeatedly. I maybe crazy! Am I hungry?! Why am I seeing things like that?!


I turned away quickly, face heating up as I realized that I was already staring way too much.


I heard him chuckled and I just bit my lower lip. I know that it was too late to look away. He must've already noticed my...hungry stares.


"G—Good morning..." I greeted with my tiny voice. I was hesitant to greet him after I embarassed myself in front of him but I did anyway. I don't want to appear...rude.


I pouted.



"Good morning, love. You can now take a shower so we can go downstairs together and eat breakfast since you look really...hungry."


My face heated even more but I forced myself to turn to him harshly as I narrowed my eyes at him just to appear not so...guilty as charged.


Did he just...


The brute only smirked, raised both of his hand in surrender. Amusement was clearly etched on his face as he turned his back at me.


I frowned.


Is it really obvious? Do I really look...horny?



———



"I promised to tour you around the mansion yesterday, right baby? We'll do that. And then we'll go to the village next. But before everything else, we will eat our breakfast first." The King told me as we were making our way downstairs. He was holding my hand, carefully guiding me down. It was as if he was making sure thay I won't trip on this long grand staircase.


I sighed.


I will never really get use to this.




"And then we'll go to the pack doctor next. You have to get checked before we're going to roam around." He added. My forehead creased as I stop on my track and since he was holding me, he stopped too as he looked at me.


"Hmm? What's wrong?"


"Why would I get checked? I'm doing just fine. I'm okay now." I said, my forehead slightly creased.


Yes. I am fine. Although, Heaven, my wolf, isn't showing up just yet, but I know that she just needs time. A lot of time to rest.



"Baby, we have to make sure that you're okay before doing something, okay? I won't let you out of the room once we found out that you're not fully fine yet." He answered sternly. He looked serious now but his eyes are still gentle though. That's when I know that he's not that angry yet. He's just... He just want to make me follow his orders.


"I'm doing this for you, baby. So please..." He sighed. He took my hand again and carefully dragged me down the stairs. I pouted and just let him do the things that will make him comfortable.


Well, it looks like I am not really going to leave this place very soon.


I've realized that...that maybe it's not that bad to give Hadron a chance. Maybe it won't be that bad to be with my mate, to trust him, and maybe...get to know him more. Maybe I should really stop thinking that he would end up doing the same thing that Tristan did to me before.


I was an unwanted mate...and if I didn't made a move first of rejecting him, if I did stayed weak and martyr for Tristan, then I don't think I would be able to meet him. Hadron, my second chance mate.


After we ate our breakfast, he brought me to the Pack's clinic, to where the Pack doctors are. The nurses immediately assisted us there. But Hadron requested for a doctor instead. He almost shouted at the nurses so I have to scold him in front of the nurses but he didn't even mind it.


"Sit here, baby..." He guided inside a room and then made me sat on the edge of the bed. I don't even know why he have to bring me to a room. I am not going to get admitted here!


"Do we really have to be in the room? The patients might use this or something. Can we just go the doctor's office—" Before I could even finish speaking, the door opened, revealing a man on a white scrub suit.


My lips slightly parted. Is this there Pack doctor's uniform here? Wow. They are really living in a modern kind of living, huh? The pack doctors in Farrington Pack doesn't even have a uniform, and the clinic there isn't even that...modern. I mean, they are still using herbals, unlike here...they are using machines and the likes.


"King—"


"What the fvck, Kaizer? I requested for a female doctor!" Hadron exclaimed which really surprised me.

The doctor, which is named Kaizer just raised both of his hands in surrender and smirked at Hadron. "Calm your dick, cousin. There's no available female doctor as of the moment. Sera is in the operating room while the others are in a busy duty. Some were sent to the city to guide the aspiring doctors of the pack. So yeah, I am the only doctor who can check your woman. For now."


I saw how Hadron frowned when he heard the doctor's words. Once again, I am quite shocked to encounter another member of the Vandeleur Pack, and the most jaw dropping moment? It is Hadron's cousin!


"I'll request for a nur—" I held Hadron's hand. He immediately turned to me. His face softened as his lips parted.


"Hade, it's okay if he'll check me up now. There's nothing wrong with that, really. Can we just hurry so you can tour me around the mansion already?" I convinced him, slowly drawing shapes unto his hand. My gentle eyes were still glued to him.


"But, baby—"


"Please...?" I pouted and that's when he looked away, cursing multiple times while his ears were now as red as ripe tomatoes.


His cousin, Kaizer, laughed. "Freaking whipped ass."
