The Wolf Prince's Fated Heart - Page 109

And this is mine.

Graham.

Despite the storm of shit we went through, we came out on the other side unharmed, scarred but whole.

I have to respect and admire a man who would fight to keep me safe. Graham would’ve walked through fire for me. He practically did in the warehouse when he fought Jason.

Just remembering the worst night of my life sends shivers of terror down my spine. That place will always haunt me, but with Graham’s support, I can do anything. Together, we can get through everything. No obstacle is too hard.

With him by my side, I have courage. With his guidance, I have wisdom.

“I want to stop somewhere on the way to the manor,” he informs me. “Are you okay with that?”

“Sure,” I confirm with a nonchalant shrug and follow him to the elevator. The doors open and we get inside. He uses the key to take us straight to the garage.

“We’re taking the SUV today,” he tells me and walks past his Nissan.

“The next time we’re taking your Nissan, I want to drive,” I tell him.

He grins. “I’ll expect you to because I planned on giving it to you.”

“Really?” I ask, unsure what to make of it. “I can’t have that.”

“You’ll always be the owner of my soul,” he replies with a smooth as cream tone. “Adding my favorite car to that equation only makes you more desirable in my book.”

“Oh, I don’t know, I quite like you in it,” I tease as I climb into the passenger seat of his trustworthy SUV. I have to admit, it’s a comfortable ride.

“Where are we going?” I ask when I realize he never told me.

“You’ll see,” he replies with a secretive smile.

We’re driving through the busy streets, the area getting richer and the cars passing us are more expensive than the ones before. We’re entering a private urbanization. An elite community. There’s only one road that leads here, and we go down it until the houses become mansions.

“Who lives here?” I ask, gluing my face to the window to get a better look.

“I was hoping we would,” he replies. “Remember I promised I would find us a place that wasn’t in the same building as our work? Well, this is it. This is where I’m hoping we’ll create our family with time.”

He pauses to look over and search my face then continues, “If you want…I mean…We didn’t talk about kids yet, so if you don’t want to, that’s totally fine by me. I won’t force you into anything. If you don’t want kids, then that’s that.”

“Whoa,” I manage to say, still a little bit shocked.

Graham clears his throat, tapping on the steering wheel. He appears to be nervous as he drives toward the furthest house on the block.

“You didn’t give me a chance to reply,” I quickly say. “I’d love to buy a house with you and start a family. You’ll make a wonderful father, Graham.”

He gazes at me, his eyes lighting up with relief. His excitement is almost palpable as he beams at me.

“Yeah?” he asks, just to be sure. “You’ll really have kids with me?”

“Of course,” I tell him with a laugh. “I’d love nothing more.”

“Good,” he says with a huge sigh. He turns toward the last house to the right, revealing a two-story mansion with a red roof. “Then you’ll like our new home.”

“What are you talking about?” I ask, shaking my head.

“This is it. I bought it for us, Cassie. Will you move in with me?” he asks, his eyes locked on mine.

“Yes!” I exclaim in joy and excitement. “Are you insane?”
