Eventually I start to calm down, my sobs turning to hiccups and my tears lessening. I lean into Theo's chest, letting myself for once bask in the comfort he provides.

"Little warrior, I need you to eat something and then we'll go to bed. Do you promise to talk to me more tomorrow?" he asks gently, smoothing my hair back.

"Yes." I answer, I truly mean it, my voice raspy from crying.

Without pause, Theo stands up with me in his arms and walks us into the kitchen and sits me down on a chair. Grabbing things from the refrigerator, he reheats them before dishing it all out. I watch tiredly, forcing my swollen eyes to stay open, I can't imagine what I must currently look like. Placing a bowl of soup in front of me I go to take the spoon but see he's already holding it.

"Theo, I can feed myself." I say reaching for the spoon and his eyes widen slightly at me addressing him by his name, something I avoided doing to negate the possibility of attachment.

"Please, my wolf needs this. He needs to know he can provide for you."

I just nod and he places the spoon down momentarily before grabbing me and placing me on his lap. Once again picking up the spoon he proceeds to feed me. My wolf purrs in contentment, enjoying the closeness of our mate and how he's caring for us in our time of vulnerability. At some point I end up dozing off, partially due to the warmth his body provides.

Waking up slightly, I crack my eyes open, and realize he's carrying me again. "Shhh go to sleep little warrior, I'm just bringing you to bed." "Thank you." I murmur and my eyes close on their own accord, I'm lost to the world as I sleep.

When I awaken, I'm content. The bedding is soft and I'm comfortably warm, keeping my eyes closed I nuzzle into it more. I feel it move, not understanding how, I open my eyes, blearily looking around. A feather-like touch is felt on my cheek.

"Good morning little warrior." the voice is deep, sleep-filled.

My eyes focus and I see piercing blue eyes staring down at me, a soft smile on his face. My eyes droop again as I feel his hand caress my hair, something my parents used to do to calm me as a small child. Theo chuckles at my reaction, "Love, go back to sleep there's no need for you to be up yet." A sleepy nonsensical sound comes out of my mouth and I find myself fading back into the darkness of sleep.

It's the bright light streaming through the window that wakes me up the second time. I can hear the shower running and I lay there as I come to my senses, fully waking up. My eyes feel gritty from sleep and most likely also from the amount of crying I did yesterday. The water turns off and soon after I hear the door open, glancing up quickly I can't help but double-take, Theo walks out only with a towel wrapped around his waist his abs on full-display.

"Morning Alexandra." I hear him say, pulling my out of my daze, he has a small smirk on his face causing me to blush deeply as I realize he caught me staring.

"Morning." I mumble, forcing myself to leave the confines of the warm bed. I drag myself over to the bathroom, needing a hot shower to wake up and start my day. To mentally prepare myself for the conversation we're finally going to have today.

So Theo's sweet side is back, they definitely had some cute moments there (I mean who wouldn't want to wake up to a gorgeous man staring down at them?!). We all knew he wasn't some sort of brute though, so it's not too shocking. Alex is finally going to open up about what happened, what do you think she's going to reveal? Is Theo going to handle the news well?

As always, thanks for reading and comments are appreciated!
