Chapter 479: Midnight Snack

Princess felt Faye’s teeth sink into her skin again. The Omega was supposed to be sleeping, yet this was not the first time she had caught her biting her. It had happened several times already, and Princess was beginning to wonder whether her girlfriend had developed some strange habit while pretending to be asleep. Thank goodness Faye had not used her fangs, or Princess would have had to reconsider allowing the little menace to cuddle against her so peacefully.

Faye rested her head on Princess’s chest as they lay together, enjoying a nap after their beautiful time alone. Princess slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling, enjoying the quiet until her gaze drifted towards the girl lying against her.

Their eyes met.

"What is it, Faye?" Princess asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I thought you were sleeping," Faye muttered, looking so innocent that anyone who did not know her would have believed she had done nothing wrong.

"I was, but my girlfriend kept biting me, and now I am awake." Princess continued staring at her, waiting for an explanation that she knew would probably never come.

Faye ignored the accusation and shifted slightly against her. "Shouldn’t we return to the cottage? Our pups might be searching for us."

"Erico already sent me a message. They are fast asleep, and Bambi is watching over them," Princess reminded her.

Of course, Faye already knew that. She had been aware of their pups’ situation for a while, but apparently, she wanted an excuse to start a conversation with her Alpha.

"Okay," Faye murmured.

"Go to sleep, Faye."

Princess closed her eyes again, hoping she could finally return to the peaceful nap she had been enjoying before her girlfriend decided to use her as a chew toy.

Unfortunately, the silence did not last long.

"Are you hungry?" Faye asked in a small, almost pleading voice.

Princess released a deep breath before opening her eyes again and looking down at the Omega.

"Are you hungry, Faye?" she repeated, returning the question.

Faye nodded.

Princess stared at her without reacting, trying to understand how the girl could possibly be hungry again after everything she had eaten earlier. This was the same Omega who had devoured what seemed like countless boxes of pizza, eaten until she was full, and even complained about the beef prepared by Erico and Paye.

Was it not a little too early for her to start craving so much food?

Princess remembered that during Faye’s previous pregnancy, her cravings had started around the fourth month. Yet here she was, barely giving her Alpha enough time to rest before requesting another meal.

But this was Faye, and questioning a pregnant Faye about her appetite was a challenge Princess was not prepared to face.

She had learned enough lessons to know when to keep her mouth shut.

A short while later, Faye sat at the dining in the kitchen, watching her girlfriend prepare instant noodles. She could not help smiling as Princess moved around in her new robe, looking unexpectedly adorable with her bear bonnet covering her head.

Her Alpha was cute. Ridiculously cute, in fact.

Faye rested her chin in her palm, enjoying the sight of Princess preparing her meal as though she were the most precious person in the world. She could have watched her for hours without getting bored, especially when Princess was not busy glaring at somebody or threatening to tear them apart.

Once the noodles were ready, Princess carefully placed the hot pot on the table and set a fork beside it. She then walked to the refrigerator, grabbed a bottle of water, and returned to drop it on the table before taking her seat.

"I see you have emptied your stash of chips. I thought you didn’t sleep here?" Princess asked..

Faye picked up her fork and started eating her noodles. "I do come around to collect them after school, but while we were busy building the PC, Malo and the others ate everything."

"Please tell me you punched him in the face."

She genuinely hoped Faye had done something to punish the boy for eating her snacks. Knowing her girlfriend, it would not have surprised her if Malo had ended up regretting the day he was born.

"No, he asked before taking them, and he wasn’t the only one," Faye explained, slurping her noodles without the slightest hint of regret.

Princess shook her head, still looked disappointed that nobody had been punched over the missing chips.

As they continued eating, something Faye had said earlier suddenly returned to her mind. She looked at the Omega sitting opposite her.

"Faye, you mentioned being my anchor inside that well earlier. I never told you about that. Are you starting to regain your memories?"

Faye did not pause to answer immediately. She continued eating, determined not to let anything interrupt her meal, even if her Alpha suddenly decided to question her about their forgotten childhood.

"Yes, not all of them, but I do remember our time inside that well. We spent hours in that hole together. Cute, huh?"

Princess immediately became interested.

She rested her cheek against her palm, watching Faye with renewed curiosity. The idea that her girlfriend was beginning to remember their childhood filled her with a warmth she could hardly explain. Those memories had been precious to her for years, and knowing that Faye might finally remember them too made her want to hear every little detail.

"What else do you remember?"

"Emm..." Faye hummed, briefly looking up as she tried to gather her thoughts. "I remember Silviana being the thorn in my brother’s relationship. She used the friendship they shared to get Adam for herself, and she manipulated me into doing whatever she wanted."

Faye’s expression turned slightly serious as she continued.

"Just so you know, I wasn’t the one at fault. I didn’t leave you on purpose. She made me do it, and I couldn’t bear everything that was happening, so I drank the concoction she gave me."

Princess’s smile faded a little as she processed the explanation.

"So you actually chose to forget about me."

Faye immediately dropped her fork onto the table and stared at her Alpha.

"I did not choose to, baby! She deceived me and made me believe I was drinking something else."

"Alright, okay." Princess raised her free hand, signalling that she was willing to let the matter rest. "Now that we have settled that, I will try to let go of the grudge I have been holding against you for leaving me broken."

"You know we were only ten back then, and we were just friends," Faye reminded her, looking rather offended that Princess was still holding on to something that had happened so many years ago.

"Yes, a friend who promised to stay with me forever and never leave me alone."

Faye blinked at her before letting out a small sigh.

"Sorry. Just blame Silviana. She is the villainess in our relationship," she declared with an innocent expression, as though that single sentence could settle every problem they had ever faced.

Princess shook her head, fighting back a smile. Faye was unbelievable. Even when discussing the most painful parts of their past, she could somehow find a way to blame everything on someone else.

"Oh! I also remember the two of us performing at the school talent show," Faye suddenly added, her face brightening as another memory came to her. "We sang the song Mi Primer Amor, but I was so terrible at remembering the lyrics that you started crying."

Princess’s eyes widened, and a smile immediately spread across her face.

"Hurrah! You remember that!" she exclaimed, her cheeks turning red as she recalled the embarrassing little incident.

"Oh, oh, oh! Look at you, you cute little thing!" Faye teased, delighted by her Alpha’s reaction.

She picked up her fork again and returned to her noodles, still smiling to herself while Princess watched her finish the meal.
