Muriel blush at his words and still proceed to ask her question.
"Is this your house?"
"Yes," Alexander simply replied.
"Wow! Is so beautiful. Will I live here with you?"
Just a little peek she had from the house, she noticed how beautiful it is. It looks like a castle.
Alexander grinned, "Yes you will. This is your house from now henceforth."
"Really? Am I going to live in this big house?"
There's a clear excitement in her voice.
Alexander smiles and nods, his mate is just so adorable.
He is happy to see his excited mate. Few hours ago, she was scared and moody. He's glad she has opened up to him. Seeing her happy,he doesn't mind answering her questions all day. She looks more beautiful when she's happy. He wants her to always have that smile. He will make sure of it, he will make sure that she will always be happy and he's ready to do anything for her happiness.
Once again, Muriel raises her pen and scribbles something on her note. Alexander can't help but find his mate inquisitive and funny at the same time.
"You said that I'm your mate and also your better half. Does that mean that I'm your wife?"
From the little knowledge Muriel has, your better half could mean your wife or your husband.
Once again, Alexander couldn't withhold his laughter. He laughed out loud that some prickles of wet tears circled in his inner eyes.
Now he wonders the last time he smiled and talked more of laughing out loud, probably years ago but his little mate effortlessly made him laugh out loud.
Muriel watched him in a muddled state. She didn't know her question was funny and could make him laugh, she doesn't see anything funny in her question.
She just wants to know if they are now husband and wife. They didn't wed in the church or can some people become husband and wife without a wedding?
"Love," Alexander calls in a cool but sexy tone after laughing. He raises his fingers and lets them freely run through her soft pale cheeks.
Muriel can't help but blush once again when he calls her love, she doesn't know why it sounds so pleasing to her.
She felt that tingling sensation when his fingers ran through her cheeks. She stares into his beautiful dark green eyes waiting for his answers.
"Do you want to be my wife?" She heard a question instead of an answer.
"If you want, we can get married tonight."
Alexander has a teasing smile on his lips as he watches his mate blush at his words.
Muriel shyly writes something in her notebook and shows it to Alexander.
"Yes, I want to marry you," Alexander read and his jaw quickly dropped in awe. He stared at his mate dumbfounded but after a second, he chuckled in amusement.
His little mate is unbelievably funny. Does she even know what marriage is? Did she realize that she's meant to spend the rest of her days on earth with her partner. Though some people get divorce because of one reason or the other, in normal circumstances, couples are meant to spend the rest of their lives together.
This marriage stuff happens among humans. For lycans and werewolves, it is all about mates. If his mate wants to get married, he doesn't have any problem with it but he knows that his mate is still young and unlearned, it is for sure that she doesn't even know what marriage is.
Though he finds this absurd, he's inwardly happy that his mate wants to get married to him. It gave him a sense of feeling that his mate is slowly opening up to him.
"Are you sure you want to get married to me?" He asked still with that amusing smile.
Muriel quickly nodded and this made Alexander chuckle more in amusement.
From the little knowledge Muriel knows about marriage, she believes it means that you will spend the rest of your life with the person you are married to.
Strangely Muriel wants to spend the rest of her life with this man. She doesn't know what is drawing her towards this man making her feel like he's everything she needs. She was scared of him some hours ago but now she wants to be with him forever, she just can't explain it.
"When are we going to get married?"
Reading the sentence, Alexander let out a fascinating chuckle. Is she really serious about this?
"You are my mate and you are already mine but if you want us to get married. I will get married to you once you come of age"
"But I've already come of age. Am eighteen."
Alexander grinned and gently tugged the strand of her hair which fell on her face—behind her ear, "You are still unripe, let's wait for a few more years."
Unripe? She doesn't understand the word but nevertheless she nodded, she will just have to wait for a few more years as he said.
Suddenly a question pops into her head and she quickly writes it down.
"Will I be your mate forever?"
She is really curious about this. What if one day, she will no longer be his mate and he will leave her. She doesn't know why the thought of him leaving her makes her scared.
Alexander chuckles slightly and cups her face making sure she is looking into his eyes before he speaks.
"You are my destined mate and you will forever be my mate. I can't imagine my life without you. I will love you forever and I will never leave you. You are mine, only mine," Alexander means every inch of his words. This little mate of his captured his soul and he doesn't think it has anything to do with the mate bond.
Though the mate bond is definitely at work, he still feels that he genuinely loves this little frail girl in front of him… his heart has never fluttered or beat for anyone but reversed is the case now, all because of his little mate.
Muriel's cheeks turned scarlet pink as she blushed hard. She bites her lower lips and drops her gaze in shyness.
Something inside Alexander burns in an unexpected desire when his mate bites her lips. He knew she didn't know she was damn sexy when she did that, she just did it out of instinct.
He felt like devouring those lips but he restrained himself, his mate is still young and might not handle the monster in him. Once he lets it out of its cage, it can be so rough.
And as expected that monster is trying to jump out from its cage but he forced it back.
He only kissed her flushed cheeks to calm the monster in him.
Muriel widened her eyes in shock when he did that and then her cheeks turned pinker as she shyly hid her face.
Alexander once again let out a fascinating chuckle.
