Alpha Alexander by LS Barbosa
Chapter 156 (Scarlett)
I hissed in pain as I sat up on my bed.
Alexander wrapped his arm around me, supporting my b*ody before he put his hand behind my back, helping me sit.
“Are you okay?” He asked, and I nodded. My heart raced, and he ran his finger over my lower back before putting the pillow. I looked down at my lap, avoiding his eyes. “I am fine, Alexander.” I said, and he smiled before putting his finger under my chin. He raised my face for me to look at him before leaning in. My heart raced, but he didn’t give me time to pull away before he connected his l*ips with mine.
The trust that I had in him at that moment is one that I wasn’t going to forget. The man risked his life for me, and it wasn’t like he couldn’t leave me there to die. He could have saved himself without risking the hassle of holding me against a tree.

“Thank you, Alexander.” I whispered to him, and he smiled before k*issing my temple.
“I would do it all over again if I had to.” He said, pulling away to look me in the eye. “God, I’ve missed you more than I could f*ucking imagine.”
My l*ips quivered, and he put his finger on my bottom l*ip.
“What are we going to do now?” I asked, and Alexander smiled. “Well, for starters, we can consider having ourselves the wedding that we had messed up.” He said, and I raised an amused eyebrow. The fact that he believed that the two of us were good again was something that amazed me.
Maybe it was that or it was the fact that he was hoping or a happy ending for our story.
I looked to my side and couldn’t help but smile at my child who was laying in her crib, sleeping beside me.
I never knew that I would be missing her as much as I did. But only God knew that I was holding on for her sake, and if anything was to happen to me or her, I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself for it.
The fact that they were willing to use an innocent child was not something that I was going to forget. It was a reminder to me about how dangerous things were for me and how risky our lives were. It was going to be the massive reminder of the enemies that we can obtain, those that we trusted, and those that we defeated.
Netanya, who had risked a lot for my sake. Though she tried using me to save her own life. I knew that I would have done the same if I were in her shoes. The woman had put me first in a lot, and was also injured to ensure my safety.
Delilah, who despite everything, brought my husband to me, ensuring that I was brought back to safety.
Alexander, who I was still rocky with. I loved him with everything that I had, but did I really want to forget or forgive everything that happened between us? Was I going to be able to do so? Was he going to be able to forget what happened? Was it going to be a gap between us?
“Do you still not want to be with me?” He asked, and I looked down, avoiding his eyes.
“I am scared of losing you or losing part of myself loving you, Alexander.” He looked down at my hand before taking my hand in his. He intertwined our fingers and I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my l*ips. My heart raced against my ribcage and he sighed. “We are going to be losing ourselves without one another, Scarlett. I know that I hurt you a lot, but I know for fact that if I held on when I was being tormented, it was for you.” He said, and tears welled up in my eyes. “I love you, Scarlett. I learned it very late, and I learned that I hurt you a lot more than I should. I know that very well. I broke something in you, and I know that I tore you apart. The two of us have suffered in our relationship. We were toxic for one another. We hated each other. We loved one another. We got angry. We fought. I got jealous, a lot…”
I laughed at his words and he chuckled before wiping my tears for me. “But I know for fact that we are who we were because of it.”
I smiled and my cheeks reddened before he ran his finger over my t*high. He waited and didn’t say a word, and I couldn’t help but smile as I looked down at my hand. “So, do you have a fixed wedding date? You know, the whole pack needs renovation and we are going to need find the time to invite those who would still spare us a second glance after what happened.” I asked, and Alexander laughed before cupping my cheeks.
He connected my l*ips with his and I couldn’t help but smile.
“How about we start with wedding cards? The rest would come later…”
“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may k*iss your bride.”
Alexander cupped my cheeks, and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my l*ips as we pulled away to look one another in the eye. He rested his forehead against mine, and I ran my fingers over his shirts, my c*hest rising and falling with each breath that I took.
“You need to breath a lot more gently. Otherwise, you are going to have the corset ripping and your stomach would be showing for your husband to see before you are able to announce it.” Netanya’s words played in my head, and I put my hand on my stomach, making my husband frown in confusion. It has been a year since everything had happened, and I couldn’t help but find myself being more than a little thankful for the paths that have been crossed.
Netanya, the woman who I believed was an enemy, was now as a close as my sister. And Delilah, who was sitting as one of our guests, was now an Alpha of her pack, an alley, and a friend.
“Are you okay?” Alexander asked, and I nodded before taking his hand in mine.
“I am,” I said, putting his hand on my stomach. “But I think that the corset might end up choking me considering that I am trying to hide our baby.”
“Baby?” He asked, and I bit my bottom l*ip as I tried preventing my smile from growing more than it already was.
“It seems to me that Nasia is going to have a little sibling…” I said, and his smile grew wider. “Our family is growing, Alex.”
“I love you, Scarlett D’Angelo.”
“And I love you, Alpha Alexander…”
