The King's Return

12. PROMISE ME THAT YOU WILL FIGHT FOR ME

LOGAN'S POV

Seeing my mate sleeping so peaceful in the morning is something I could wake up to every morning and never get tired of it.

Last night after dinner we spent hours together, just talking and I have to say, it felt so good that I wished it never ended.

I could talk to her all day long and never get tired of it. I've noticed that she doesn't like big company and that she enjoys quiet places.

I still can't believe she is here, in my bedroom, in my bed. It still feels like a dream. I don't know what would have become of me if she left.

In the last few days, I've gotten used to having her around and I know if she decided to leave then I wouldn't be the same.

I didn't even notice that she was already up until I saw her beautiful eyes staring back at me. She looked around the room and when she saw it wasn't her room her eyes went wide.

"This is your room." I don't know if she was asking me or telling me.

"It is. Good morning Amor. How did you sleep?"

"Morning, how did I get here? I slept in my room, I remember perfectly well."

"I carried you here."

"You what?"

"I carried you, you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you so I just carried you here. I missed you."

"Logan, we spent hours together yesterday."

"So? I missed you and I couldn't sleep so I decided to bring you here and thankfully I slept like a baby after that."

"What happened to my pyjamas?"

"I took them off."

"What?"

"What? You were sweating and I figured it was because of them so I took them off. Anything else?"

"I... uh... I don't have any more questions." She blushed and covered her face with the pillow.

"You look even more beautiful when you're sleeping, I couldn't stop myself from looking at you before I went to sleep and after I woke up. I couldn't help it."

"Do I snore?"

"No, you just move a lot."

"I do not!"

"Yes you do, you almost knocked me down in the middle of the night."

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry." She looked at me and searched for any sort of injury.

"I'm okay, I'm just pulling your leg. You sleep so peacefully and quiet, like a baby."

"Thank God, that would be embarrassing."

"You do know that even if you snored like a pig I would still love you right?"

"Like a pig? Who told you pigs snore?"

"They don't? I don't know, I just thought that they snore and that too very loudly and disgusting. I had no idea that they don't."

"I didn't say they don't, I was merely asking who told you they snore."

"I see, you enjoy playing with my head." I joined her in bed. "Do you have plans for today?"

"No, why?"

"I was thinking that maybe we could spend all day in bed, I'm taking a day off."

"In bed?"

"Yeah, you know maybe we could cuddle all day long. We won't get any further than that, I promise you."

"No funny business?"

"Of course, I wouldn't dare. I just want to be with you, I'm not going to ask you for something I know you're not ready for. I've waited for you for long and it won't hurt to wait for you to completely give yourself to me.

"I know once you're ready, you will let me know and until then, I'm willing to wait." She smiled and I returned her smile with my own.

"Why are you this perfect? When I first saw you I had all these silly thoughts, I made myself believe that you are just like every other man out there.

"I'm glad I was wrong though. I guess what makes you even more than perfect is that you have all these qualities I wasn't expecting from you.

"You're a king, an Alpha of all Alphas, you're rich and most importantly; handsome but yet you are so humble, so kind and loving.

"I expected you to be a jerk, to be proud not you're not. I bet everyone in this kingdom loves you and they should, because you deserve it.

"Your wolf is a very powerful wolf, I always knew that even before meeting you. You could command people to do what you want, yet you don't.

"I don't think there's anyone like you. You are different and I have absolutely no idea why the Moon Goddess thought I deserved you.

"I'm just me, I come with a lot of baggage and I know you deserve more than what I can offer. You deserve everything good and I know I'm nothing like that.

"I'm not even beautiful to start with, I have nothing. I barely finished school and that's not the end of it, I don't think I'll ever go to college.

"You on the other side, you-" I decided to cut her words with a kiss, she already said too much and I hate that she is belittling herself.

"Just stop, okay? Stop saying all this nonsense. First of all, you're a very beautiful girl, I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you.

"Secondly, whatever baggage you think you come with, I'm willing to accept it all without any complaints.

"Thirdly, I don't want to ever hear you say that you don't deserve me because you do, more than anyone in this world.

"The Moon Goddess gave me you and you me, she didn't make a mistake, she knew we fit in perfectly together.

"Lastly, I don't care if you barely finished school or not, what matters is that you did and if you want to go to college then you can do that and I'm going to support you every step of the way.

"I never went to college, very few people know that. I just attended online classes but only because I wanted to at least have a degree."

She looked at me, surprise evident in her eyes.

"I love you, Amira. I want you to promise me that you will never doubt or forget that."

"I promise, I will never forget or doubt your love for me. Please promise the same, it would a lot to me. I love you and I will always love you.

"Even if we go our separate ways, I want you to always remember that. If sometime in the future you feel like we're drifting apart, I want you to promise me that you will fight for me, for us and I will do the same.

"I don't want to ever lose you, I don't think I'll be able to survive that. I've never suffered heartbreak but I know I'm not strong enough to survive that.

"I'm vulnerable when it comes to you Logan."

She doesn't have to ask me twice, I will fight for her till my last breath if needed. I don't think I'll be able to survive that too, even my wolf knows that, despite being so powerful, our mate is our strength, our everything.

"I promise you, Amor."

I lied on my back and pulled her to me, her head in my chest. We stayed like that for I don't know how long, no words were spoken.

I just hope no one disturbs us, especially Jake. I decided to send him a mind link just in case.

'Jake, handly everything for today. I'm spending time with my mate and I don't want any disturbance.'

'No problem Your Highness, I'll do my best. What if there's an emergency?'

'Then you can call me, don't come to my room though, a mind link will be just fine.'

'Copy that! Forgive me for asking but should we start the arrangements?'

'What arrangements?'

'Your wedding arrangements of course or maybe prepare for the arrival of the crowned prince or crowned princess?'

'Please remember to run in the opposite direction when you see me because I can't promise that I won't beat the hell out of you.'

'I'm just asking Your Highness, I'm sure I'm not the only who is so eagerly waiting for the day you will announce that you're getting married. You're lucky the princess isn't here, she would be making arrangements for your wedding as we speak.'

He is enjoying this, I wonder what Connor would say if he was here. Speaking of Connor, he's coming here tomorrow, I almost forgot.

I know if Sam was here she would be asking when I'm getting married so that she could start making arrangements, my mom too.

Sam personally told me that the moment I decide to have Amira in my room, even if we did make love or not, she will make sure that we get married soon. I know she meant what she was saying.

'Shut up Jake and do as I asked, I have to remind you that I can replace you as my Beta.' Okay, that is a lie but two can play this game. He started it.

'That would be wonderful, I could use a break.' He chuckled.

'Asshole.'

'Thank you, Your Highness!' The sarcasm was evident in his voice.

'I heard that.' I closed the mind link before he could say anything more.

AMIRA'S POV

Have you ever had a perfect dream? You know the kind of dream you so badly want to be real? I had one just now.

In the dream, I was married to Logan, we had two beautiful kids; a handsome boy just like his father and a little princess who I think also looked more like his father than me, which made her look like her aunt.

We were happy and Alex kept playing with them, they adored him and I didn't want to wake up but the tingling sensations I felt were too much.

Falling asleep in Logan's chest with his arms holding you tightly is like dream itself. I don't even know how I slept.

I just remember how shocked I was when I woke up in his bed this morning and our conversation after that.

I looked at the time, it is way past midday and I'm hungry. We didn't have breakfast and now that I remember it, Brittany came to tell us that breakfast was served but Logan told her that we would follow behind her and after that I don't know what exactly happened, I guess I fell asleep.

I tried to free myself from Logan's arms but the keyword there is tried, he didn't even move.

With that, I decided to just admire his face. He has a perfect face, his lips are full and his dimples are visible even when he's sleeping.

I wanted to touch his nose but before I could move my hand, my phone flashed with a text message. I took it and read the text.

From: Big Brother

Hey Baby Sis, I hope you're doing great. I miss you so much and I was hoping that you could sometimes visit me and your sister-in-law, she just gave birth to your nephew and we were hoping you would come to meet him.

We would've visited you but I don't want my wife and kid near that man we call our father and the baby is still young to travel. I hope to see you soon.

I love you. Take care of yourself and be safe.

I decided to reply right away. I miss them too and I want to meet my nephew.

Me:

Hey Big brother. I'm doing great, more than great actually and I wanted to tell you that I'm not home, I moved to Manchester and I found my mate. I'm very happy here and I didn't want to worry you when I was having troubles but as I said, I'm very happy now.

I miss you guys so much and I would love to come for a visit and meet my nephew. I know that England is far but please do visit whenever you have time, I would really love that.

Much love, your one and only sister.

I pressed send and tried to pry Logan's hands from me.

"What happened Amor, going somewhere?"

"I'm hungry, I wanted to go and have lunch, we didn't eat breakfast remember?"

"Yeah sorry about that, I tried to wake you up but you were deadly sleeping so I decided to let you be. Brittany was here not a while ago to tell us that lunch was ready. Why don't we take a shower then we can go and eat?"

"My clothes aren't here,"

"I will tell Brittany to bring everything you need, just go to the bathroom and take a shower."

"What about you?"

"Are you inviting me to join you in the shower? My love that is so tempting but you have to know that if I do come with you then you can kiss the promise I made in the morning goodbye. Have you seen how you look? I'm even applauding myself for being able to control myself."

I couldn't help but swallow hard. I know I wouldn't be able to control myself too. I would end up asking him to take me and destroy all the innocence in me.

'I would love that so much, think about what Logan would do to us if you invite him. I don't care about your virginity, he will take it eventually anyway.'

'Oh shut up.'

'I know you like the idea though, just think about it.'

How did I end up with a naughty wolf like this? We are nothing alike at all!

I decided to rush to the bathroom before I did something I wouldn't be able to take back.

As tempting as Logan making love to me is, I have to control myself for now, we just met and I don't want to rush into things.

I have a lifetime with him.
