Ella was recuperating in our room. I never left her side while I temporarily let Levi handle all pack affairs. There were times when she seemed lost and I always wondered what was running through her head.

"Sweetie?" I called softly when she, once again, got lost in a daze.

I seem to have snapped her out when she jerked a bit and turned to me slowly. She tried to smile joyfully yet instead came out awkwardly.

"When you woke up.." I started and this time I seemed to have had more of her attention. "..you said something about a dream." I reminded her.

She only nodded softly and turned outside again.

"May I know what it was?" I asked her.

She turned to me again and stared straight into my eyes. I don't know why or what it was but it seemed she was searching something inside.

"Do you.. really want to know?" she spoke softly. The whole ordeal had only been yesterday and she was still resting. I don't know if I should really push it but it's just that the curiousity- the wanting to know what the heck it was- was gnawing inside me.

"If you don't mind." I answered with a nod. She paused for a bit, breathed deep and sighed before she sat up straight.

"I was in a white field. It was empty. White covered my surroundings. Voices called to me, saying I need to get up- I need to return. I got scared so I refused. They said that you wanted me back. I still refused because I didn't recognize the voices and it scared me. Also, I was mad at you. As I kept on refusing their calling, I heard my mother's voice.

She told me that I should find it in me to forgive you. You are my mate no matter how the world is tipped or how it is turned upside down, that is a fact that will never change. I fell silent. I wanted to disappear that time because I didn't want to be hurt anymore. That was when I heard you call me." she narrated and turned to me with a sweet, gentle and soft smile.

"I didn't know what happened but when you recited that short phrase of binding two souls, I felt I needed to get up. My blood boiled and my body heated up. I knew I needed to return. I opened my eyes to see you turning away and consumed with my fear of you leaving me, I grabbed hold of your arms." Ella finished and adjusted herself on the bed. She was smiling now and that was wonderful, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes and it bugged me.

"I won't ever leave you, you know? You are my life. It almost drove me insane when you weren't waking up. I was always on the edge. I was on the verge of insanity when the goddesses told me that you cannot be woken up. I was resolved to die along with you because my life is nothing without you Ella."

"Oh Jem.." She whispered and leaned close to me before she gave me a gentle embrace. "You don't know how much I have longed to hear you say those kind of words to me again. Every night, whenever I remember, I'd always wonder if I ever took your feelings for granted. I am deeply sorry, Jem."

Jem could feel every bit of Ella's emotion flowing out of her. She was scared, lonely, hurt, yet she was also happy, and thankful. Women really are complicated yet Jem found it adorable to find her feeling more emotions than she did when she was younger. She had allowed herself to be weak. She was no longer forcing herself to be strong and he was grateful for that. It meant that she finally opened herself up to him.

Jem gently broke their embrace and inched closer to Ella. Already having a hint to what Jem wanted to do, she closed her eyes and granted him permission.

Jem did not hesitate anymore as he connected their lips in a sweet and passionate kiss. He licked Ella's lip and when she gasped in surprise, he took that opportunity to slide his tongue in. He probed and teased Ella as their tongues danced in a lust-filled dance.

His hands snaked their way up, touching and feeling all of Ella, as he cupped her chests, earning a sweet and erotic moan that only pushed him to the edge of his limits.

Before he completely lose control of his self, Jem slowly parted their lips and gently pushed Ella away.

"I.. I promised to wait when you are ready. I.. I can't do this." Jem spoke as he averted his gaze.

Ella cupped his cheeks and made him raise his head and look at her. The way how his eyes turned dark, almost black, made her want him to want her more and initiated the kiss again.

"Then you'll just have to make me yours, right?" Ella asked with a sweet smile that almost took Jem's breath away.

She was too cute, too beautiful and too good to be his. Hearing her say those felt like a dream to him that he hit himself real hard that in turn surprised Ella.

He suddenly chuckled before he kissed Ella's lips hungrily and greedily.

"This really isn't a dream, is it?" He breathed when they parted slightly.

Ella giggled and shook her head lightly while wearing a beautiful smile.

"Of course not."

Jem suddenly jumped out of the bed and ran towards the bathroom before he returned to the bed while uncoiling a long thread of floss.

"Then, will you do me the honor of being my wife, Ella Reeves?" He asked before he looked up to Ella's warm brown eyes that seemed to glitter with unshed tears.

She vigorously bobbed her head up and down before she connected their lips briefly and voiced her answer.

"Yes, of course."

Jem grabbed Ella's left hand and wrapped the cut thread of floss there.

"I.. Me.. Umm.. Me proposing to you is really sudden and I know you know that and umm.. For now, please just bear with this floss and I'll buy you a real one tomorrow, okay? Th-This is just temporary. Ugh! And here I imagined to propose more coolly to my mate. How lame." Jem grumbled as he ran a hand through his locks after wrapping the floss around Ella's ring finger.

Ella shook her head and held her hand high up to inspect and view the make-shift ring as she twirled it left and right.

"No. It's very beautiful. I really, really love you Jem." Ella said with a smiling face but with tears trickling down her face. She was too happy to even hold back her tears now. It made her divinely beautiful to Jem.

Jem crashed his lips on Ella's and delved deeper once again before parting briefly to breathe.

"I love you more than you'll ever know." Jem whispered huskily and they consummated their mating.
