Ever’s POV.
Later that day after both me and Alvaro were done laughing and teasing each other, which I have to admit was fun –, he introduced me to Mrs Isla and his sister Irene, that girl I must say was a beauty. She was friendly and cheerful, everything good. But when a boy came and took off with her, his name was maybe Ryder? I don’t know. I came to know something more shocking, which almost made me wanting to reverse time and get out of the s**t I was now in. Really, it was sickening me and scaring me both. Alvaro’s grand dad was the ex-Alpha King. Yes I didn’t knew about it because that was 10 years ago when I was seven! Maybe I faintly heard my dad talking about the Alpha King back then but oh well.
“This is your room, Princess. Unless you want to share one with me.” Alvaro offered as he leaned his figure on the wall. “What makes you think I’ll share a room with you?” I raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a smirk. “Let me see, Because Im hot? Incredibly Sexy? And I am good in bed, you know?” Alvaro was definitely all that, ofcourse except the bed part, he must be a womaniser too. Everyone knows that good looking boys are playboys, they know that they are good looking and they don’t fail to take advantage of the fact, so on. “If you think that I’m one of those girls who’ll sleep with you? You’re wrong. Okay?” I said sounding rather serious, I mean I have been through a lot and I don’t want love and boyfriends on my plate right now. I just want a peaceful life right now, and that is it.
He looked at me emotionlessly while I was on the verge of tears. Horrible images had my mind polluted, Alvaro looked at me with concern and stepped closer, I didn’t realise when my face had heated up and a few tears rolled down but I was soon aware because he wiped them off with his thumb and embraced me into a hug. “I know we have our differences but that wont stop me from knowing what’s the real matter that bothers you so much, Okay? Just let me be here for you.” He finished and I was now sobbing in his chest. “Whats wrong Ever?” He asked again.
“I…Alvaro..trust me you don’t have to know about it,” I honestly told him, I don’t want to picture my story in-front of him, that’s the last thing I would like to do. “I want to know. Tell me when you’re ready?” His breath fanned over my neck. His hands pressed me close to his body. “Why do you have such concern for me when we met like 3 hours ago?” I asked, really curious. I mean who wants to know about your past and be there for you when they’ve met you only for like 3 hours? “Honestly?” Alvaro pulled back and crossed his arms. “Yeah?” I replied wiping away my tears and inhaling slowly.
He made me feel special for like no reason.
“How about we make a Deal, Ever?” Alvaro proposed. My stomach slightly knotted, what was he up to?
“Yeah?”
“I’ll tell you my reason when you are ready to tell me about your past, deal?”
I thought about it. He said he’d tell me his reason when I would tell him about my past. Well, okay? I mean what to loose. I was really curious about his reason, it is bothering me so much.
“Deal.” After saying that I regretted it, God knows how he will react when he comes to know The Alpha King is my enemy, my destroyer?
“Very well. Now I would like you to meet my pack. But before that I’m touring you around the house.” Alvaro listed all the things we are going to do when all I wanted was to eat something.
“Okay and I am very hungry too.” Sarcastically I raised my hands in surrender.
“GOD! Sorry, Lets get you something to eat.” Alvaro in a rush tugged me towards him and lead me into a big kitchen. Sweet and delicious smells filled my nostrils. “Wow” I said to myself, There were a lot of dishes there. All of Italian foods, my mouth had watered too much now. “Are you having a dinner party?” Asking Alvaro I glanced out the kitchen window, and to my surprise that was it! The big vineyard. So beautiful. “No apparently my mom loves guests. This is for you.” He informed and my mouth hung open, what the? This is all for me? A stranger? His family has a thing for caring for strangers too much I swear. Not to be rude. It is weird, sweet and innocent people are treated cruelly in this world. For example me, yes life did a good thing to me by pulling me into a mess I never deserved.
“Thankyou so much. You people are doing too much for me, I just don’t know how to repay you. I just, I’m so thankful.” I thanked Alvaro with all my heart. Whole-heartedly I gave him a kiss on the cheek before serving myself some ravioli. “Don’t mention it. You’re too beautiful anyways.” Complimenting me again he made me blush furiously. I just gave him a faint smile.
“Look at this – look? A tomato! Just like you pretty cheeks. Tomato cheeks.” This was it, he is going to down. Taking the meringue from the table I smashed it in his face and burst into laughter, leaving him in white spongey material on his face. “You’ll pay for that.” And he emptied the grape juice on me.
After fighting with food for about 10 minutes, “Okay, I give up.” I said panting and laughing. “I WON!” Alvaro cheered and I wanted to do nothing better than punching him in the face. I just smiled at him and he also did the same, our happy and cheerful moods were replaced soon as there was unbearable pain in my stomach, I clutched it and let out a cry of pain. Alvaro scooted me in his arms and that’s where I was no longer in my senses, just pain. “Its gonna be okay.” That’s what I heard as a kiss was placed on my forehead.
Alvaro’s POV.
As soon as I left her in the hospital with the doctors, I was thinking to call Leila. I mean the only thing that is stopping me from doing so is to find out something I don’t want to. What if she has to go? Im not willing to let her go, she is who I would decide to be with if I have to be with anyone after Claire..
