His Human Mate
Chapter 23

Xavier's POV

I was showing her around the palace and the moment she saw the garden she started squealing and ran towards them. I chuckled at her cute behaviour.

"Xavier can I please have one? Please?" she asked with a cute puppy face which I could never say no. I nodded my head as she took a red rose smelling it.

"I see she did that puppy face to you too." Nathan said coming towards us. "She always makes that face, when she wants something. Good luck with that.”

Amelia smiled sheepishly as I chuckled. "She don't have to do that. She can get anything she wants. All she has to do is ask.” I said smiling.

Amelia started blushing. "*cough* whipped. *cough*" Nathan said making me glare at him as he put his hands in defence.

It was good to be fooling around with him again. My little one, brought back the light that she took along with her. She is the light to my darkness.

I saw my mum and Amelia laughing and talking while planting. I smiled at that. She has given me everything I ever wanted and I can never be more grateful.

She came back running towards me as she bounced up and down in her heels. "Xavier, your mum said I could come over everyday for gardening.” she said excitedly.

I groaned, just then my mum came. "Mum, you can't steal her from me.” I said hugging her not wanting to let her go. Amelia giggled at it.

I said chuckling. She smiled sheepishly. "What's your age?" she asked me. I took a seat in one of the couches as she continued the examine the books.

"24." Her eyes went wide again. "Wow. You are old.." she said scrunching her nose. "Am I, now?" I said mischievously. I slowly stood up and walked towards her.

She started to giggle as she started to run. I chased after her. I could easily catch her, but both my wolf and me loved a good chase.

She went out of the library and ran out. "I will catch you, little one.” I said smirking. She turn and darted her tongue out and started running again.

I followed her as she took a right turn. When I took the turn, I saw her standing with her back facing me. I ran to her and caught her.

"Caught you.” I said hugging her. I saw her looking at somewhere. I looked to where she was looking. She was looking at the piano that was covered in cloth.

It has been months since I played the piano. I couldn't bring myself to play. After losing her, I couldn't play again, knowing she wouldn't be listening to it.

I hold her tighter, thinking about the time I lost her. "Do you play?" she asked me. I nodded my head as I smiled at her.

"You used to sleep listening to it.” she smiled at me widely. "Would you play it? For me?" she asked with so much excitement.

"Anything for you, little one. Come on.” I said bringing her with me. I took of the clothe from the piano and sat down in the seat bringing her to seat beside me.

I slowly started playing the music. It was slow and soft. You could barely hear it if you were out of this room. After a long time, I played a music that wasn't sad or upsetting.

As I looked at Amelia, she was smiling at me. The smile just captivated me. It was so beautiful. She started to fiddle with her fingers.

I smiled knowing what she was thinking. I stopped playing. I grabbed her by the waist and made her sit in between my legs as she squealed in surprise.

I hold her fingers and placed them in the piano keys, playing the notes. I helped her play the piano for sometime before I started to play again.

She rested her head in my chest. My wolf was howling in happiness. We both were so happy. I heard her soft snores, knowing she has fallen asleep.

I stopped playing and carried her bridal style to her room. I softly placed her in her bed and brought the duvet on her as I sat down beside.

I wanted to sleep next her. She chased my demons away. When she was with me, I didn't have nightmares. And I wanted that and needed that.

I pulled a chair and sat in it, holding her hand. I let sleep take over me.
