Alexander's longing eyes told Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna that he missed Jace a lot, so they decided it was best to let them be for a while.
“You both met after 3 weeks, so we'll wait outside while you both enjoy yourselves.” Alyssa laughed as she stood up to grab a bag of chips, while Juliet grabbed the jellies.
As Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna nodded and walked out of the room, Jace said, "Thank you, I will just take 5 minutes so you can wait in Juliet's room."
As the guards kept an eye on them, Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna went to the other room and sat down while they waited for Alexander and Jace.
Nobody knew what would happen in the future, but it was certain that something disastrous would occur.
Alexander sighed as he gazed at Jace with love in his eyes, and Jace returned his gaze.
There was no sound, nor was there any movement. It was eerily quiet, but it was peaceful.
Alexander felt as if he had met Jace for the first time and had fallen in love with him all over again.
Jace and Alexander's only messages in the last three weeks were either "Good morning, have a good day" or "Good night, sweet dreams."
“I-I missed you,” Alexander stuttered, his face flushed, as he turned away when he noticed Jace stand up and rush to lock the door.
“J-Jace?” Alexander tilted his head, perplexed as to why Jace wasn't speaking.
Jace abruptly turned around and took big steps toward Alexander, who was taking small steps back.
Alexander's back hit the wall as he turned his body to see there was no way to escape Jace's predatory eyes, which caused Alexander to squeak in embarrassment as he looked back at the front.
Jace was directly in front of Alexander, towering over him, causing Alexander's cheek to flush.
“Um...Jace, I-I ... Um we have to g-go" Alexander stuttered as Jace hummed while keeping his right hand on the wall, causing Alexander to gulp nervously.
Jace wrapped his left arm around Alexander's waist and drew him towards himself, while Alexander pushed him away with his hand on Jace's belly, but Jace was far stronger than Alexander.
“J-Jace, we need to g-" Alexander couldn't finish his sentence because Jace kissed him, causing him to gasp.
Alexander slowly closed his eyes, embarrassed, as Jace drew him closer than before.
Jace broke the small kiss by licking Alexander's lip while staring directly into Alexander's purple orbs, causing Alexander to smile.
“I missed you too, my cub,” Jace said, smiling at Alexander, who quickly hugged Jace and rested his head on Jace’s chest.
“I'm sorry we sent you to investigate Kim, Sam, and Amy,” Alexander said as Jace pulled away from the hug.
As Alexander stared into Jace's orange orbs, Jace said, "No, it's good that you did that."
“Are you certain?” Alexander inquired, to which Jace replied, "Yes, look, I even found out that they are really behind it, and to top it off, they want to hurt you as well."
Alexander shrugged his shoulders and said, "I kind of knew that because they always hated me, especially Kim."
“Well, you captured my heart, which is why she despises you.” Jace spoke as he pecked Alexander's shoulder and sucked on it, leaving a kiss mark while winking at Alexander.
“It's not my fault I'm your mate,” Alexander replied as Jace chuckled and pecked Alexander's neck.
As he hugged Alexander, whose face was still red, Jace said, "If we were both humans, I would still have chosen you."
Alexander inquired, "Why?" Jace replied, "Because I love you," prompting Alexander to smile and respond, "I love you even more."
“You didn't reply to my messages for a week, and I was worried,” Alexander said as he frowned while Jace sighed and hugged Alexander tightly.
“I am sorry, my cub, but unfortunately my work was completed in two weeks and I was returning home,” Jace said as Alexander let go of Jace with confusion written all over his face.
“What happened?” Alexander inquired, to which Jace replied, "It was all perfect until I ran into your old pack," scaring Alexander.
"D-Did anything happen?" Alexander stuttered out scared as Jace sighed and replied, "Yeah, they captured me for crossing their territory," which terrified Alexander.
Jace hugged Alexander to try to calm him down as he shivered in fear.
“How did you get away?” Alexander was terrified as Jace replied, "Well, I am the king after all," which caused Alexander to smile a little.
“You weren't hurt, right?” Alexander inquired once more as he cupped Jace's cheek, who kissed Alexander's hand while keeping his hand on top of Alexander's.
“No, your brother and that ex-alpha did beat me up with some of their other friends and kept me in jail, but thankfully, the actual alpha of that pack returned from a peace treaty thing she went to and got extremely angry at them,” Jace said, as Alexander stared him worried.
“What happened next?” Alexander inquired, to which Jace replied, “Well, they let me go and begged me not to hurt them or say anything bad about their pack, so I agreed because it wasn't their fault.” Alexander hummed nodding.
Alexander spoke up. “Yes, it was my brother's and that asshole's fault,” he sighed, his gaze fixed on Jace, who smiled at Alexander.
Jace let go of Alexander as he sat on the sofa and motioned for him to sit, so Alexander sat, but Jace pulled Alexander onto his lap.
“Is it painful?” Alexander inquired, concerned about Jace's wounds.
“Yes it’s painful and I told them I needed to go home soon, so I didn't check my wounds,” Jace said, as Alexander frowned and said, “Let me see.”
Alexander stood up and took the first aid kit from the drawer, while Jace undressed and sat on the bed with Alexander.
Jace remained silent as Alexander examined the wounds on Jace's back that were all red.
“I... I am s-so sorry,” Alexander stuttered as Jace turned around to see Alexander crying, which caused him to frown.
“Why are you crying, baby?” Jace inquired, concerned, as Alexander stuttered out, "You are h-hurt, and it's all because of me," causing Alexander to sigh.
Jace inquired, "How is it because of you?" Alexander sniffed and replied, "Ever since we mated, you have been their top enemy, and if the actual alpha wasn't around, they would have done something bad," which made Jace smile.
“Cub, I could have used my powers on them, but I didn't because I knew their alpha would punish them,” Jace explained as he wiped Alexander's tears away.
“What if she doesn't show up at the right time?” Alexander inquired as he sobbed loudly, and Jace quickly hugged him.
As Alexander hugged Jace back sadly, Jace replied, "I would have used my powers but I was waiting because I didn't attack, which is why even the alpha of that pack got scared and begged me for forgiveness."
“I am so sorry,” Alexander said quietly as Jace smiled and kissed Alexander on the cheek. “Don't be sorry, my cub,” Alexander sniffed.
“But it's true, ever since I met you, I've only caused trouble for you,” Alexander said, making Jace laugh.
Jace never considered Alexander's problems or anything else to be problems, and he always appreciated the fact that Alexander shared his problems.
While Alexander pouted, Jace cupped his cheek and said, "No Alex, you never caused any trouble for me besides I love you that is why I will do anything for you”
As Jace sighed and pecked Alexander's lips, Alexander said, "But ever since I met you, my brother and his friends have been annoying you."
