Breaking Wild Hearts [3]

Chapter 22

"I'm glad to hear that."

***

"Ladies! I'm home!" Alec opens the door to his house. 

Nothing changed, it seemed like as I walk inside behind me. The chandelier was the same, so were the painting and wallpapers. It looked beautiful like before. 

"I'm not a lady!" I hear Cam's voice as he walks out of the kitchen door. 

His eyes widen as he looks me up and down. I was still wearing my crown. 

"Holy fucking shit." He takes a step forward and I smile as I wave at him. 

"Hi." I say as I hear someone running down the stairs as Cam runs towards me and wraps his arms around my body. 

"We fucking missed you." He mumbles as he pulls away and looks me up and down again. "I must say, you do have the whole Queen look." 

"Move out of the way!" I hear Natalie behind him as she pushes him away and wraps her arms around me. I smile as I hug her back. 

"I have so much to tell you!" She says to me as she pulls back and grins at me. 

"Liam!" Natalie calls out loudly and I see him walk downstairs with a little girl in his arms. He stands opposite me as he puts the girl on the ground. They both stare at me. 

"Am I supposed to bow?" Liam mumbles confused as he starts to lower his body and I quickly shake my hand. 

"No no it's alright." I tell him and the little girl giggles. 

"This is Summer. She's one," Natalie introduces her to me. 

I smile as I kneel down. "Hi Summer." I wave at her and she runs towards me. 

"Are you really princess?" She asks me softly and I nod my head as I point to my crown. 

"This makes me a queen. Would you like to be a princess?" I ask her and she nods her head eagerly. "If you ask your mom and dad, they can let you come today to meet the other princesses." I say to her and she looks up to Natalie. 

"Mommy please." She pouts at her and Natalie chuckles, nodding her head. 

"Can I bring friend?" Summer asks me and I nod my head as she runs to the kitchen. 

I stand up as the kitchen door opens and Stella walks out with a little boy in her arms. 

"Stella!" My eyes widen as I call out to her. She freezes as she looks at me with wide eyes. 

"Emily!" 

I walk towards her quickly and wrap my arms around her, careful of the little boy.

"I didn't know you had a son!" I freak out, looking at the little baby. 

Stella visited me last year. I was in my bakery when she had asked for the famous chocolate cake. We had talked for hours until Noah came as well muttering how he needed his helping partner again. From a maid to a princess. Tragic. I had laughed at him and we had caught up.  We never talked about the pack or Alec other than she still loved cooking. I had asked her if they wanted to cook in the royal kitchen after I had given them a tour. 

Noah had whistled saying one day definitely. 

"He's my nephew." Stella laughs, "Noah got a girl pregnant." She rolls her eyes and she looks at the baby. "We named him Michael." She smiles at me. 

Another Michael. Ava groans in my mind and I bite my lip to stop laughing as I nod my head at her. 

"It's perfect. Is Noah here?" I ask her and she shakes her head, muttering how he's out shopping. 

"Emily." Alec calls behind me and I turn around to see him holding his hand out to me. 

I smile as I place my hand in his and he pulls me away from everyone and upstairs. 

"Where are we going?" I ask him. 

"I need to talk to you." He says heading to the room that I had stayed in. He opens the door and I step inside realising nothing at all had changed. The closet door is open and I notice my old clothes inside. 

"Those weren't fit." I mumble to myself. 

It's the cakes you've been eating. 

Lusia says dramatically. 

Privacy Lu. I say in my mind and I hear her sigh loudly before I feel the silence in the room. No longer here. 

I turn to look at Alec as he sighs deeply behind me. 

"I'm sorry." He apologises and I look at him confused. 

"Why?" I ask. 

"For the past. For being a prick. For not giving you time. For wanting something that wasn't possible at that time. For not understanding you," he starts to say as he looks at me. "I want to try with you, Emily. I really do. I want you to be my wife, my soulmate, my other half. I want everything with you," he walks towards me. "I want to wake up in the morning and see you. I want to make a chocolate cake because I know how much you love it. I want us to be happy. I want to be with you." He reaches out to hold my hand. 

I let him, as I smile. "You want to try?" I ask and he nods his head eagerly. 

"I have been dying to meet you but I gave myself time to understand. To make sure the time is perfect. I wanted to meet you and take you out on dates but I don't want to pretend. I want to tell you the truth and that I love you. I have been in love with you since the day you left and threatened to kill us all." He chuckles as I feel my embarrassment rising up on my face. 

"I'm sorry about that." I apologise to him and he shakes his head. 

"Don't ever be sorry about it. I did wrong and pushed you when I should have been beside you." He holds my hand closer to his chest. "Take a dive off the cliff with me? I'll be right beside you." He promises. 

"Yes." I smile. 

I wanted to try. I was ready for my happily ever after.

The End.

As the author I must confess the truth.

If this book wasn't already written and part of a series of six books, Emily woul have ended up with Miles.

[Update- Recently I've come to realise that the ending of this book was very rushed (mostly because I wanted to finish it) and because of that, there was no chemistry between Alec and Emily. This book would definitely need about ten more chapters trying to bring their relationship up and a lot of begging needs to be done from Alec before she accepts him. (By a lot, I mean a lot) I've written too many books this year, so I promise I will definitely try to write those next chapters some time to make this book perfect and not rushed and less forced.]
