CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

INDIGO'S POV

“Oh, I'm sorry, have I woken you up?” I asked slightly embarrassed as he had caught me in the act.

“No, not really,” his voice was low and musky, I oddly found it attractive. He slowly sat up in bed, I think he was unaware that he was still holding on to me, “Morning, how did you sleep?”

“I—I slept well,” I said, turning my gaze away. I just realized that his body was bare, besides the faint dark mark it was layers and layers of clear luscious skin.

He slowly lifted my wrist and pressed his lips against my hand. I flushed. “I'm glad to hear that.” His face glowed brightly even though he had just woken up, he looked well rested as well.

“How did you sleep?” He smiled before answering, drawing me into an embrace where he held me there. I was bare too, my breasts pressing against him as I laid my head against his neck.

“I usually have problems sleeping at night, but this is the most I've been relaxed in years. Thank you Indie.” His hold around me grew tighter and I felt the heat rising in my belly. So I helped him relax? I was oddly happy about that.

I had the time to finally take in the room I was in, it was tastefully decorated, right yet humble, having green splashed here and there. This has to be Gage's bedroom, I noticed a wardrobe having clothes in them.

It was so tidy and filled up, yet nothing much in sight but it wasn't empty signifying that someone constantly used the room. 

We held each other for what seemed like eternity and I didn't mind staying like that for longer but my stomach had other thoughts. It growled loudly and I couldn't possibly believe I hoped Gage hadn't heard because it was obvious as day.

“I'm so sorry Indie,” he jolted, gently releasing me. “I've been far too inconsiderate, I'll let one of the pack house maids bring breakfast in for us.” He swayed out of bed, swiftly pulling up some dark soft clothes. Kissing my forehead before walking out the door to inform the maid.

I fell back in bed, the duvet over my face wondering if I was the one being treated so gently, so lovingly. I was so happy at this moment that I might've ended up crying.

I didn't know the plans the moon Goddess had for us but I was truly glad at this moment. I went through so much in Southside, neglect, betrayal. I had never felt love in all my years and looked at my heart being filled up by one person.

I turned, the memories of the previous night still lingering around my mind, I never knew that was how heated—and satisfying being bedded was.

I wanted more, way more, I wanted Gage to touch me all over again. My hands went to my face as I covered them in shocked realization. 
My thoughts were shameful, I also wondered what it would be like being bedded by either Lyriq or Valtor, in terms of body build they were bigger than Gage.

And both of them had this strong dominant aura whereas Gage was more subtle than that. But indeed, I doubted I could ever see him the same way again.

The door swung open and it was Gage with breakfast in his hands, french toast, sausages, fried eggs and orange juice. My mouth watered.

“I'm sorry again Indie, for letting you starve like this.” I chuckled, as he boarded the food before me in bed.

“You didn't leave me to starve, I was probably just hungry from what we did—last night.” I mentioned and his face pinkened. “Ugh…” I quickly thought of something to change the conversation.

“I noticed a mark on your collarbone from earlier. How'd you get it?” I asked as I bit into some toast. It tasted brilliant, it was rich unlike what they fed us at the academy.

“Oh, you saw that…” He seemed a bit sad mentioning it.

“I'm sorry I shouldn't have.”

“No, no, it's fine. I'm already over the trauma, my dad did this to me.” He said so simply and I almost choked on a piece of choke.

“What?” I screamed and he chuckled at my outburst. 

“It looks like nothing now, but it was so deep before. My father strikes me with his sword, no one thought I'd recover from it.”

I was honestly startled, I dropped my toast and my eyebrows knitted together. I never knew something as terrible as that happened to him, “Was it by accident.”

“Certainly not.” He smiled using a finger to tap at my crumpled forehead. “I don't really want to talk about it, so eat up and don't worry.” 

He stood to exit the door again, “finish up with breakfast, there's something I must see to quickly.” I nodded, not wanting to push it further, focusing on my breakfast. When I was done, I noticed a pair of clean clothes by the bathroom.

I went ahead to let the steaming water pour over me and I felt so relieved. Slipping out I pulled over the comfortable clothes, I noticed the bedroom was sparkling.

The maids had probably come to clean it out whilst I was still in the shower and I phantomed just how great it must be to be an Alpha.

I also noticed a small body plopped on the bed, their back facing me as all their attention was drawn to something in their hand.

“Hello there,” I said in a low tone in order not to startle them. She looked back and her eyes glowed, jumping off the bed and coming to meet me with sheer excitement in her eyes.

“Hello there miss, you are the lady from last night aren't you?” She said with joy in her tone and I nodded from surprise. “So you're my brother's mate aren't you?”

“Um, yes and who might you be?” She was absolutely adorable, her long brown curly hair held into two pigtails, her big bright hazel eyes, and a lovely smile that shone incomplete teeth.

“I'm Leila, Alpha Gage's little cousin.” 

“Wow, is that so?” She nodded 

“We're practically siblings, me and mummy have lived with him all my life!” 

The door swung open yet again and there appeared Gage, in more regal clothing, wearing a face of worry.

“Leila! There you are,” he quickly covered the space between us and instantly swooped her into his arms. “The maids were looking for you for your morning bath and breakfast, how many times do I have to tell you not to wander off?”

“But I missed you.” She said teary eyed and he patted her on the head.

“Okay okay, I'll make sure we have a play date later.” Gage said and she quickly brightened up.

“Can your girlfriend join us?” She giggled, Gage seemed perplexed. It was certain the little girl wouldn't give up unless he said yes. He eventually agreed and she ran along happily.

“Please don't mind her,” Gage said as soon as she was out the door. “She's very attached to me. You don't have to come for the playdate or anything.”

“I'd love to though.” It caught Gage by surprise. “I'd love to come.”
