I was so genuinely happy. Zander was willing to try for me and it felt so great. He was also starting to remember. Everything was just going so well. I didn't think I could be this happy ever again when I had found out Zander lost his memory and hated me again. But I guess everything is possible if you put your heart to it.

It was really early in the morning and Zander was asleep beside me. I smiled down at him before I leaned in and pressed a kiss to his cheek. He moved slightly as I pressed more kisses all over his face. He growled lowly before pulling me on top of him and wrapping his arms around me. I looked up at him and noticed him still asleep. I couldn't help but giggle at how cute he looked with his hair all messed up the way it was.

"Rosie." He groaned. "Let me go to sleep." He mumbled out causing me to giggle even more. I guess he wasn't asleep.

"I'm sorry, Zander." I said before I buried my face into his neck. After a few minutes of quietly laying like that, I started pressing soft kisses to his neck.

"Rosie!" He growled out causing me to giggle again. "Rosie, I swear to god-"

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. I'll stop being so annoying and let you sleep in peace." I said, placing my head down onto his chest.

"Thank you." He grumbled in his sleepy voice before trying to go back to sleep again. I lay quietly again, until I was sure he was asleep. Once he was asleep, I slowly crawled down his body until I reached his boxers. I smirked at him, as I slowly slipped my hands inside his boxers, immediately grabbing onto his little friend down there. More like big friend I should say.

I started rubbing him just as he woke up gasping. "What the fuck, Rosie!" He yelled, just as I let go of him, laughing. I was about to run out of the room when Zander grabbed me by my arm, pulling me back into him. "What was that?" He growled angrily. "I told you I was sleeping, didn't I?"

I turned around in his arms and grinned sheepishly at him. "You're fucking lucky you're pregnant, or else I would have gotten you back hard." He growled out, the lust showing clearly in his eyes. His words aroused me so much. I could feel myself getting wet. I wanted him to get back at me right now.

"But I guess there are other ways I could get you." He growled, pushing me down onto the bed. He got on top of me before burying his face in my neck, pressing his lips lightly against the mate mark on my neck. I moaned loudly at the pleasure that coursed through me at the lightest of touch. I should have known he was going to get me back through our mate mark.

"Please Zander!" I begged as he sucked at the mate mark. I squirmed underneath him as the pleasure was really building up and getting hard to handle. I needed him to bite me.

He pulled back, grinning down at me as he started pulling away. I immediately grabbed onto him. "No, please Zander! Please bite me!" I exclaimed causing him to chuckle at me.

"I don't know if I should. I don't think you deserve it." He grinned as I closed my eyes, willing the want to go away. I couldn't handle it. Once your mate kisses your mate mark with the intentions of biting you, the want becomes unbearable until your mark is bitten again. And now Zander was torturing me, by not biting me.

"Zander please! I'm sorry, I should have let you go to sleep." I apologized hoping he'd accept and just bite me already.

"Don't apologize Rosie, I'm kind of glad you didn't let me go to sleep. This is so much more fun." He chuckled causing me to whimper in frustration.

"Zander please!" I cried out causing him to get up and move away from me. I just looked at him in shock. He couldn't just leave me like this. But just as I was about to protest and beg him to bite me, he grabbed me, and pulled me into his lap. He then buried his left hand in my hair, pulling my head to the side, revealing my neck. He then reached down and sunk his canines deep into my neck, causing me to cry out in pleasure.

He covered my mouth with his other hand, muffling my screams as it was very early in the morning and people were still sleeping. He suddenly pulled away, looking at me in shock. I closed my eyes, letting the pleasure slowly seep away before opening my eyes and asking what was wrong.

"Nothing's wrong." He said smiling down at me. "Biting the mate mark on your neck, brought back so many memories. So many. In fact, it brought back almost every single one." He said as he leaned down and softly kissed my mark, sealing it.

"What do you remember?" I whisper out, closing my eyes in pleasure.

"I remember falling in love with you. I remember wanting you so bad but knowing I couldn't have you because you weren't my mate. I remember wishing you loved me too. I remember all the times we kissed, all the times we touched each other. I remember all of it." He spoke softly as he kissed up my neck, towards my jaw. "I remember the day of my birthday. I remember how happy I was when I found out you were my mate. I remember how beautiful you looked." He had reached my lips now and was pressing soft little kisses against them, causing me to sigh out. "I remember the way you started removing all your clothes in front of me, the day you wanted us to mate. I remember how against it I was, because I wanted to protect you from Steven. Then I remember finally giving in and mating with you and that is the last thing I remember up to." He spoke with a soft look in his eyes.

I gazed into his eyes with so much happiness. He remembered almost everything. He remembered loving me. Did that mean he loved me now?

Before I could say anything, he grabbed my face and pressed his lips hard against mine. We kissed each other so urgently and passionately before Zander decided to pull away, resting his forehead against mine. "I love you Rosie." He whispered with so much love showing in his eyes.

~Alina~

I would like to say I slept well last night and I would have but I kept dreaming about Danny. I had so many dreams about him. I had dreams about us kissing over and over again. I had dreams about me finally accepting him.

On top of that, I kept thinking back to our actual kiss last night. I couldn't believe we kissed. I kept remembering how amazing it felt to kiss him. I hated to admit it but it honestly felt so magical.

I sat up on the bench, wrapped up in my blanket as Asshole number 1 appeared. "Here's your breakfast." He said sliding the tray of food into my cell. I ignored him and the food as I sat there. I didn't want to eat. I didn't eat breakfast.

"Are you going to eat or not?" Asshole number 1 asked, causing my gaze to snap towards him.

"Why do you care?" I asked causing him to scowl at me.

"I don't. You're not that special." He spat back. "I'm only asking because Danny told me to tell him if you don't eat."

"Well why don't you go tell Danny that I am not planning on eating this. I don't eat breakfast." I said as I grabbed the pillow and held it to me. I noticed Asshole number 1 tune out for a second, probably mind linking Danny to tell him I wasn't eating.

"Danny will be here soon." He informed me before greeting another guard that walked in to take his place.

I sat quietly on my bench, not wanting to see Danny. Every time I thought about him, I kept thinking about our kiss and how good it felt to pretend to be something we weren't. I didn't want to think about that kiss. Right now I had more important things to worry about, such as making Danny let me and all the Hunters go.

Suddenly I heard a key going into the cell lock and I looked up to see Danny standing there, opening the cell door. He got inside before locking the cell door behind him so I wouldn't be able to escape.

He then met my gaze, causing me to look away. "Antonio told me you don't want to eat breakfast." He said as he kneeled down in front of me. "Why?"

"I don't ever eat breakfast." I replied quietly, not bothering to look at him.

"Why?" He asked again, causing me to shrug my shoulders.

"Alina, look at me." He demanded but I wouldn't listen. I don't know what he was trying to do, I just wanted him to leave. "Alina." He said as he grabbed my chin, making me meet his hard gaze.

"Do you feel sick when you eat breakfast in the morning? Or is there some other reason?" He asked softly, causing me to look away again.

"Yeah, I feel sick." I lied, just wanting him to leave me alone already.

"Don't lie to me, Alina." He said, as he gently stroked my cheek. "Is it because you want to lose weight?"

I glared at him now. "Whatever it is, it's none of your business!" I snapped at him, annoyed. I've gained so much weight that even Danny figured out the reason why I didn't want to eat.

"Baby girl, listen to me." He said softly causing me to shake my head.

"Just leave me alone." I said not wanting to hear anything. I wanted him to leave so bad. This was so embarrassing and awkward. I didn't want to discuss my weight, especially not with him.

"Alina-" He started again, but I pushed him away and got up. I moved as far away from him as I could get.

"Leave me alone!" I yelled at him.

"No!" He growled back. "I won't leave you alone until you eat your breakfast." He walked up to me, picking me up in his arms. I squealed in surprise as he started opening the cell door and walking out. He called one of the guards to pick up the tray of food and to bring it to us.

I was struggling in my arms but Danny didn't even budge as he carried me all the way up to his room. The guard followed behind us with the tray in his hand. Once we reached his room, the guard placed the tray of food on the side table before leaving. Danny set me down before locking the door to his room.

He then walked to me, grabbing my arms and holding them behind my back so I didn't try anything.

"Alina, I don't understand why you want to lose weight so much. You don't need to." He said causing me to look away from him. "And besides, haven't you heard. People that skip breakfast are more likely to gain weight than people who don't." He said causing me to snap my gaze towards him.

"You're lying!" I exclaimed and he shook his head.

"I'm not. You can look it up yourself." He said smiling down at me. "Now come on baby girl. Let me feed you." He picked me up and placed me down onto his lap, wrapping his left arm around my waist. He then brought the tray closer and I noticed a bowl of oatmeal, topped with blueberries. "Oatmeal is really healthy Alina. So you don't have to worry about gaining weight." He said picking up the spoon and bringing it to my mouth.
I stared at the spoon for a bit before giving in and opening my mouth, accepting the oatmeal.

Danny grinned at me, pressing a kiss on the top of my head as I ate. "And if it makes you feel more better, you can come workout with me. I workout almost everyday and if you want, you can come join me whenever you want." He said and I looked up, meeting his soft gaze. He was being awfully sweet and it made me feel even worse for trying to kill him the two times I had. "Would you like that Alina?" He asked, referring to working out with him. I thought about it for a bit before nodding my head.

He smiled pressing another kiss on my head. "But there is one thing I want you to remember. Eating healthy and working out regularly shouldn't be about losing weight. It should be about keeping your body healthy. Being healthy is all that matters, not your weight. Okay?" He said, causing me to nod my head at him. "And don't ever forget that you're beautiful Alina, because you truly are."

I was trying to hate him, but day by day he made it harder and harder to do so. He was just so sweet and always seemed to know the right things to say. Asshole number 1 was right. I didn't deserve him. He deserved someone so much better than me.
