CHAPTER 199
\[Lexi\]

"My Luna, something came for you in the mail." A servant came in and dropped the mail on the table.

If she was surprised that the Alpha was still in bed, she did not show it.

I eyed the package lazily, but I did not attempt to reach it. I was exhausted from my marathon with Axle, and I was enjoying the warmth of being in his arms, and I did not want to lose that so soon.

"What do you think it is?" Axle asked, rubbing his hand up and down my arms.

"I don't know, I never get anything in the mail, and we didn't give my therapist this address. I'll check it later." I turned and lay on my front.

My stomach chose that moment to growl, and Axle chuckled slightly.

"I must have worked up your appetite." He smiled and then he turned serious.

I knew that he must be mind-linking someone because it was not the first time I had seen him make a serious face when he wasn't angry at anyone.

A few minutes later, the door opened and some maids came in pushing a tray of food.

"Your breakfast." They bowed and left almost immediately.

Since I was naked under, I wrapped the blanket around my chest and got up to go and eat.

"No, you don't." Axle smiled at me and yanked the blanket from me.

"What are you doing?"

"We eat breakfast naked today." He smiled.

"Even you." I swallowed as I imagined watching his naked chest and shoulders as I shoved food into my mouth.

I blushed slightly when he nodded, and he chuckled as I walked down the bed slowly.

"Ow." I moaned when he spanked me. "What was that for?" I pouted at him.

"That was for hesitating." He told me, and I just shook my head.

At first, I felt awkward eating breakfast in the nude, but I soon got over it when the delicious pancakes and syrup melted in my mouth. It was so delicious, and my mouth began to water for more.

I did not realize that I was literally shoving food into my mouth until Axle chuckled.

"I'm sorry, I did not realize you were so hungry, I shouldn't have tired you so much."

"I would have eaten this way nonetheless, the food is delicious." I beamed at him, and he laughed.

He put some pancakes on his plate, but his place was mainly filled with bacon and meat.

"Do you have any regrets?" he asked me, and I nearly choked on my food.

"Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?"

"It's because I know that you had big dreams before all of this happened."

"Yes, I did, but my biggest dream is being fulfilled right now, with you and my family." I smiled at him.

It was true at the moment, but there were still times when I felt unfulfilled.

"I want you to have everything you want, Lexi, you could go to college if you want. I'd only beg you to allow some guards to accompany you and for you to go from here to school," he said seriously.

My heart melted, and I wished I had dreams to go to a college in Louisiana. New York was about 2000 miles away, and it wasn't a journey I could embark on daily.

"Thank you very much, Axle, but I promise you, I'm fine." I felt like kissing him very much, but I was afraid that if I did, the tears that were threatening to fall would and I would be exposed.

After breakfast, Axle had some work to take care of so he left me alone in the room. I decided that it was time to take a look at the mail I had gotten, and so I went over to the table to pick them up.

The first was a postcard, and I smiled when I saw the picture. It was a picture of the New York public library, and my blood turned cold when I realized who had sent it.

I flipped the card and read what was written on the other side.

It was a note from Isla, she was once my best friend, and we'd become estranged because of what she'd tried to do to me.

Now I did not know if she did it knowingly or if she was merely under the influence of her father and the Warlock, but Axle didn't trust her, and they didn't really get along well, so I just didn't want to make things any more complicated.

It was a sweet note where she informed me that she'd gotten into NYU to study fashion, as kids we had both made a pact to go to the same college, and Isla was already fulfilling her path.

The second was a long letter where she detailed her experience in New York, and I started to feel slightly jealous, it looked like her life was moving at a fast pace, and she had even gotten more tattoos.

She pleaded with me to contact her, and then in the envelope were two tickets for New York. I nearly screamed when I brought them out of the envelope.

I immediately took my phone and unblocked her from my social media. I couldn't trust myself to call her, so I texted her and told her that I was still willing to be her friend if she'd take things slowly.

I then hid the tickets, postcard, and letter. I planned to talk to Axle about it whenever he was in a good mood and I worked up enough nerve to do so.

I left the room to do my daily duties as Luna. I checked up on baby Dine, and she was getting bigger and more beautiful as the day passed by. Axle mind liked me and told me that he was going to come back late because he was going out on business with Elric, and so I decided to spend my time with my mother.

The both of us were in Mina's room, and we were cooing at the baby. Lex was at work, and so it was just the three of us with the baby. I did not know how to handle the Isla thing, and so I just decided to lay it straight on them.

"Isla sent me a letter and a postcard from NYU," I blurted out.
