Michael's POV
I went to my room because I wanted to stay alone. I entered the room and immediately flopped on the bed and covered myself with a blanket. I want to stay alone in my own little world in my head.
My room door opened, and I smelled the scent that had kept me on the bay from breaking down the whole day. I felt the scent get closer to him, and then on my bed. I felt the bed dip and a hand wrapped around me, but not under the blanket, the hand was still on the blanket while I was completely covered with a blanket from head to toe.
"Hey.." he said.
"I want to stay alone, Alex." I know I said this, but I doubt he would leave me alone.
"I am not going anywhere. I am going to stay here until I am sure that you are fine. Can you let your walls down? I wanted to ask this for a while, but I didn't want to give you more problems with your parents..."
"I am sorry... My walls have always been up. I will let them. I let my walls down and heard him take a deep breath. Well, I guess, if I want a mate, then he will know what I feel all the time. No privacy in my emotions, and I don't like but this is what I get, and it's not like his walls are up. He walls are down since he marked me, not once has it brought up the walls, but always kept me, making sure that I know what he is feeling about what and everyone.
"You are so much pain, love," he whispered in my ear. He pulled me closer to his body, and this time I took a deep breath because if he stays around me, then I don't think I can control myself... I will cry, and I don't want to.
"Let it out, love. You know, I am right here and I will never let you go. You have me. Don't hide yourself. Don't hurt yourself anymore. You are safe here, no one will hurt you. Even if they try to, I won't let them," he kept whispering words like these in my ears.... Those words are doing something in me...
I turned to him, removing my blanket from my face, and looked him right in his eyes.
"Stop! Stop telling me those words! I don't need it! I don't want to hear those words!!!!" I was angry, I didn't want to feel anything, and I was doing a great job in that until he came to know I am his mate. I shouldn't have gone to his damn birthday party knowing what would happen!
"No, never. I am not going to stop saying to my mate that there is nothing to be afraid of here, that there is nothing he needs to worry about, that there is no one can hurt him! I am not going to stop telling my mate that he is safe here! So, stop telling me not to make my mate feel better. I have no idea what you have been through in that, your previous pack, Michael, but I want you to know that I am here as your mate and as the future head alpha of this pack, and nothing is going to change that. You are mine and I am yours." his words were soft... they were encouraging me to heal? Or something like that, he doesn't know... he doesn't know the kind of wreck I am, and if he knows then he would never want me...
"I don't care what kind of wreck you are, Michael. There is nothing in this world that can stop me from loving you," I was surprised. How did he know what I was feeling?!
He chuckled, "There is something called mind-link, you know? You never blocked that. I heard each and every one of your thoughts." he leaned towards me and pecked my head. " And I honestly don't care what your past is, all I care about is our future with me."
"I am sorry..."
"For what?"
"For being your mate," he frowned... he didn't like me telling this....
"I love that you are my mate. I have seen sides of you today that no one has." He pulled me even closer to him if it was possible. "Now, don't hold back your tears and let them out. You have been wanting to cry since you saw your parents; you can let them out now. It's only me and you here. You and your other half, and it's always okay to cry when you are with yourself." He said, patting my back gently and peppering kisses on my head every now and then, along with encouraging words.
Just like that... just like that, he kept encouraging and coaxing me for hours till I cried. I cried till I fainted...
