StartNovelChapter 0289 Ella POV I was so exhausted that I could barely get out of bed for the rest of the day.
Alexander made sure I ate and showered, but beyond that, he letrest.
Most of the night passed in a haze-1 drifted in and out of consciousness, the voice of my wolf a strange yet welcpresence in the back of my mind. It would take tto get used to her.
For most people, this was normal, something they probably didn't even acknowledge. But for me, it was new new it might as well have been otherworldly. My wolf liked Alexander.
Whenever he was near, a warm, contented feeling flooded through me, wrapping aroundlike a fuzzy blanket fresh from the dryer. It madefeel giddy, in a way I couldn't quite explain.
I wanted him to stay.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut I didn't ask.
I knew he had so much to deal with after everything that had happened. There were plans to make, pieces to put back together. And even though I ached to have him by my side, I let him go.
Still, I slept warm in his bed, my head nuzzled against the pillow that smelled of his body wash.
When I woke the next morning, Alexander was beside me.
My heart fluttered at the realization.
It felt so right to have him close.
It was over breakfast that I first began to suspect what this strange longing for Alexander to stay near might truly mean.
"I called the doctor," Alexander said, setting a steaming cup of coffee in front of me. "She'll be here in about half an hour." "Why?" I asked weakly, wrapping my hands around the warm mug.
"Just to check on you," he explained, looking a little amused as he sat beside me. "After what happened yesterday, I think it's best to make sure you didn't overexert yourself." I sighed, taking a small sip of my coffee. "The shift took a lot out of me," I admitted "But I'm not sick or anything. I don't think it's necessary." His concern toucheddeeply, and I found myself smiling into my cup, feeling a rush of heat creep up my cheeks. It was silly-Alexander and I had been living together for a while now, and it wasn't as if this level of care was unexpected. He always erred on the side of caution.
So why did his concern makefeel so strange? Just sitting next to him, hearing the low rumble of his voice, feeling the warmth of his presence-it madefeel intensely happy. Like this was exactly where I was meant to be, As if my entire life had been leading to this moment, and now that I was here, I couldn't imagine anything better. It was so simple-just the two of us at the kitchen island, drinking coffee and eating toast-but the emotions Chapter 0289 insidedidn't match the situation. They were too big, too overwhelming I wanted more of this feeling.
I wanted him to stay by my side forever.
The realization hitlike a splash of ice water.
It was insane.
I had already admitted to myself that I had feelings for Alexander, but this? This was borderline obsessive. It made no sense to feel so strongly, so suddenly. It wasn't as if we'd kissed or shared sIntimate moment. So why was my heart racing? Why was my face burning? Unless...

The thought sent a shiver down my spine.
The only reason my wolf should react this way to anyone was if they were my fated mate.
No.
That couldn't be it. It was too absurd.
What were the odds odds that Alexander was the one was destined to be with? I refused to believe it.
I shoved the thought away, swallowing hard just as Alexander's voice pulledback.
"I'll wait until after she checks you out to head down to work he said m casually completely unaware of the storm raging inside me.
"Thank you," I said automatically. I kept my eyes down on my drink, but I could feel Alexandex looking at me. I wondered if he could feel this too, but I knew that there was no way I could ask Ch C C
