Chapter 187
Xade’s pov
The small jewelry store I found was perfect because it had a wide selection of unique stones that were rare. And I’d want my girl to have something as rare and beautiful as her.
I browsed the selection, my mind drifting off to Fay’s words. She was right, Avery didn’t like anything too extra. I wanted something unique and pure, something that would tell her how much she meant to me.
My eyes landed on a ring with a delicate band and an emerald stone in its center, surrounded by tiny little diamonds. It was mesmerizing and beautiful, just like Avery. “I’ll take this one,” I told the woman behind the counter while pointing at it.
The jeweler leaned in to have a better look, a smile gracing her face. “Ah the rarest of them all,” she takes it out.” Whoever you will give it to must be very special.”
I nod, grinning from ear to ear. ” You have no idea how special she is,”
As the house came into view I can feel the anticipation building in my body. It was already night, the sun had set a few minutes ago, I could feel the stress through the bond and knew Avery was worried about my whereabouts.
Burdening her with worry was the last thing I wanted, but I had to get her that ring. I clutch the small velvet box and mind-linked one of the pack members I had urged to prepare the area for our date.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
He responded quickly and confirms that everything was set for tonight. Tonight it was just going to be us two, me and her. Just me and her, finally. Everything that has been happening, for tonight it will be pushed to the back, the lurking of danger coming towards us….everything will be the priority tonight. Just me and her.
I took in a deep breath and push the box in the pocket of my pants then walked up the way to the house. The door swings open before I could open it myself. Mom’s worried expression greets me.
“We have been worried,” she utters and pulls me into a hug. It’s comforting and I hug her in return, needing the comfort of my mom.
Where have you been?” She asked when she pulls away slightly to scan her eyes over my face. Her worry deepens. ” Your father told me everything you talked about in the dungeon. I know you’re worried about
Alister-
I pulled out the box to show her, she stops speaking, her eyes widening in awe and surprise. ” Tonight I don’t want to talk about Alister or the hunters. I just want to focus on Avery. I am going to propose to her tonight. Malcom and a few others set up the area already.”
Her eyes teared. ” Your love for her is so pure. So beautiful,” she reaches up and cups my cheek, staring at me in respect and awe.
“I am so proud of the man you have become Xade. You will be a good father and leader.”
I sighed, feeding into her warmth and love. “I just want to make her happy,” I whisper, my voice strained as I think of Avery. I can’t help but feel as though I was the cause of everything bad happening to her now.
I was.
You are.” Mom smiles, her eyes teary. “Go to her. She has been in your room since you left and has been eating a huge tub of ice cream ever since.” she giggles. “I think our little V is having those cravings already.”
I grinned, puffing my chest out proudly. “She’s going to make a strong pup.”
Mom nods. ” Oh definitely, we Archers only give birth to powerful wolves,” she winks and playfully pushes me to the staircase. “Go on, have the best night with your mate.”
