Chapter 23||

Alex's POV
———

I rub pups back and whisper sweet inaudible nothings until he's completely relaxed and falls asleep.

I have missed listening to his cute quiet snores. I hope that he has no bad dreams, he needs to get lots of sleep so him and his wolf can heal, both mentally and physically. I have noticed that he has lost weight, not a lot but enough to figure out that he wasn't being fed enough.

I place a gentle kiss on his head and wrap my arms around him. Being careful not to wake him. In reaction to my touch his body snuggles into me and I let out a small growl of approval. I love holding him so much, it just feels right, comforting.

I'm glad to see that he doesn't have any troubles sleeping in his collar. And that it doesn't seem to have taken any damage from him being kidnapped. Although I do smell a bit of Andrew's sent on him from the collar. It makes me feel a bit angry but I can wait for my mate to get rest before giving him a bath.

After I bathe him I will make us supper and then I'll probably bring him to bed again to sleep or at least rest.

~time skip to a few hours brought to you by lord explosion murder~

I come up stairs from checking up on everyone who fought for James's rescue to make sure everyone was okay and that any wounds were tended to by the nurses and doctors. Okay, I can wake James up now. I know he will be more comfortable clean and he likes baths.

I get up on the bed and sit beside where he's sleeping, I then lean down over him and kiss his forehead. And of course that doesn't wake him up since he sleeps like a baby. I grab his shoulders gently and shake him a bit, his eyes slowly open and he looks up at me, smiling.

I smile back at him and then lift him up into a sitting position on my lap. He leans his head on my shoulder and yawns. "Did you have a good sleep, love?"

He nods and yawns again.

"Aw baby I know you are tired but I have to give you a bath." His eyes light up a bit when I say 'bath', making me smile and give him kisses on the cheek. I let him wake up a bit and then pick him up and carry him into the bathroom.

I start the water to make sure it doesn't get too hot or too cold while James sits beside me.

I check the temperature again after a few minutes, help him take off his cloths and then helped James into the bath tub since it's slippery and he is weak from the kidnapping.

James's POV
————

Alex helps me into the bath tub and I feel my body relax in the warm water. It feels so nice.

"Okay James, I'm gonna wash your hair for you. Please close your eyes so you don't get soap in them."

I obey and close my eyes. I feel his fingers run through my hair with the shampoo and try not to fall asleep from the comforting sensation. I feel the sparks that run through my body whenever he touches me, they remind me that I'm safe with my mate and that I have someone who loves me.

Once he is done with the shampoo and conditions my hair it's time to wash my body. Out of embarrassment I insisted that I could do it by myself "A-Alex I think I can wash myself, really, it's fine." But he knows better.

"Sweetie, you can barely stand on your own right now. I'm not going to do anything to you, i promise. I know you are still a bit shy with showing me your body but I need to help you. You can trust me."

"O-Okay."

He smiles and washes my arms and chest. Then he stands me up a bit, balancing me so he can wash my lower body . I blush and avoid making eye contact with him from embarrassment when he goes to wash my privates. Which makes him chuckle a bit.

He doesn't do anything sexual to me. Just washing. After he is done he sits me down in the tub and let's me stay in the tub a little while longer before standing me up, wrapping me up in a towel and helping me into clean cloths. Geez, I feel so weak. I feel bad that Alex has to take care of me. I wish I was stronger.

Once I'm changed i notice that I feel much better now then I did before the bath. Alex looks at me and I look up at him. I then I gather together all of my strength to stand up and wrap my arms around his waist. Why? I don't know. It just felt right.

"Well, someone's a bit clingy~" he teases me jokingly making me smile. I love him so much.

"I love youuuu~" I coo at him

"I love you too baby~" he coo's back at me in the same tone I used.

He picked me up and brings me downstairs to eat what I'm sure is going to be supper. He puts me onto my chair and makes what I was told is stew. Which both of us love to eat. Alex is an amazing cook. I'm not really experienced with cooking but I've learned things from watching him cook. I find watching him cook entertaining and interesting since at my old pack whenever I was given food I wouldn't know how it was made at all and it was usually leftovers.

Once Alex is done cooking the stew we wait a few minutes before eating since it's very hot. When it has cooled enough for us to eat it without burning our tongues off he sits beside me and we eat in comfortable silence and I complement his cooking skills, the stew is delicious.

We both have seconds and after that we put the remainders in the fridge just in case someone else want some or if we want to eat it as leftovers some time tomorrow.

Once that is done we go upstairs and lay on our bed together to watch a movie.

The night consists of a lot of cuddling, talking about plans for tomorrow, enjoying the movie and each other's presence. The movie was quite long, but it was a good one. I know it was one of the Harry Potter movies but I don't remember the name of which one we watched. I thought the movie was really good but not as good as the books in my opinion.

Although the books are almost always better then the movies...

Like Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief, those were terrible. Like, Percy and almost all the other characters are literally twelve in the books and what people do they have for the cast in the movie? Twenty year olds! Or at least they look like they are in their twenties, like what the heck!

But anyways, now that we are done with "Jame's little rant sessions" by the time the movie was over and the credits are playing me and Alex have both fallen asleep in each other's arms.
