Chapter 56 DALIA
DALIA
I mean I haven't had sex in a long time and he's my handsome mate who's irresistible. The way he kisses me turns me on every time. I thought he will take things further and I will let him but he stops. He nibbles on my lower lips and sucks it gently before breaking away from the kiss. He looks into my eyes and I can see the same lust I have in mine in his. He wants me just like I want him, but we know this is not the right time. We have many days ahead of us to devour each other.
“How long was I unconscious?” I ask as I lean towards him and rest my head on his chest. I want us to be in bed all day and explore each other's bodies, but we will have to wait. Once I deal with the situation at hand, we can spend many days in bed fucking each other. I know that idea will be great for Ezekiel. I know he wants to know what sex feels like with me just like I also want to know.
“Almost twenty-four hours” he replies.
It has not been long. Not like the last time I slept for days.
“I think I've slept enough. We need to go to Sarah now. I think I know how to undo the spell the witch cast on her.”
He's quiet for a while. I know what's on his mind. I gently grab his cheeks as I pull his black eyes to stare into my green orbs. “I will be fine. It's not risky at all. Nothing will happen to me.”
“I just can't help being worried.” He murmurs. I understand him. “How did you figure it out? Was it why you fell into unconsciousness?”
“I don't know how I fell into unconsciousness but I found myself in a white place. A female voice told me that the answers I seek are within me. That I have the power to get Sarah back to her normal state. Sarah has an answer to a lot of our questions,” I reply and sit up from the bed. “Now I believe that my mother didn't just send me off without help. She knows that I'm capable of this and she's guiding me into discovering who I am.”
“Maybe your mother is intentional about this, so I don't have to doubt her intentions.”
“My mother cares about the werewolves and lycans. You are her creation. She will definitely not let you perish.”
“She wasn't like that in the past. She was selfish. Maybe she's now trying to make up for her mistakes.”
My mother was selfish? I don't ask him anything because I know he won't tell me. He will open up to me when he's ready.
“Let's go to Sarah,” I say as I climb down from the bed. He does the same.
“The psychiatrist doctor arrived earlier today,” he says as we are going to the door, but then he grabs my hand. “It's three in the morning. It's still early. Let's do this when the day breaks.”
“I think you are right. I actually have to figure out how to do this. You can go back to sleep while I meditate.”
“No. I don't think I will sleep if you are not in my arms. Like I told you last night, you are now my new sleeping pill.”
I chuckle shyly. He just knows how to make my face flush. “Okay. You can watch me while I meditate.”
He nods and sits on the bed. I move to the center of the room as I sit in a meditation pose. I close my eyes as I calm my spirit and try to focus. She said the answer is within me. The spell I need to undo the spell on Sarah is right in my heart. I just need to figure it out.
I don't know how long I stay in the meditation pose but when I wake up, the sun has risen. The room has brightened up with natural sunlight. Ezekiel is still sitting on the bed watching me.
Was he in the position throughout?
“I was beginning to get worried. That took a lot of time.”
I smile as I stand up. “You are always worried.” I tease.
“That's because you drive me crazy,” he says as he walks towards me. He pulls me into his arms and kisses me. I kiss him back, savoring his taste. He tastes like mint and sandalwood, and I love it. Even his scent drives me crazy. I melt into his arms as I kiss him deeply. I don't know if I'm a good kisser but I'm sure Ezekiel loves the way I kiss. After a while we break from the kiss, panting.
“I'm crazy over you, little monster. I don't know what you did to me. I can't believe that few weeks ago, I want you dead and can't even stand your presence but now I hate myself so much for feeling that way towards you.”
“I also hate you then. You were an asshole but now I'm crazy over you too.”
“I love you Dalia.” My heart skips a bit at his words. This is the first time he officially says those words and I don't know how to feel about it. Yes, I love him, but it's just overwhelming. I hope this is not a dream because I'm falling too hard.
“It's okay if you are not ready to say……”
“No, no….. I mean. It just came suddenly,” I cut in immediately. I don't want him to feel like I don't feel the same. Maybe I don't know what exactly I feel for him but it's definitely love. Nothing can explain the way he makes me feel. In the past I kept on denying it, but right now it's so strong, especially since he has accepted his feelings. I don't know if it's the mate bond or not but whatever it is, it's real.
“I love you too, Zeke.”
“It's that a pet name?” he asks with a big smile.
I smile shyly. “If you don't like it, I won't call you again.”
“I fucking love it my little monster.” He kisses my lips slightly.
“Stop calling me that, big bad Alpha." I whisper as I hide my face in his chest. I can't believe I'm acting like a high school student in love.
“I can't because I love it. You are my one and only little monster. My spitfire and I'm your big bad Alpha. And I love you so much.”
I giggle in his chest as he holds me tight. I didn't know he liked the name ‘big bad Alpha.’ I actually named him that out of spite. But thinking of it, it sounds like a cute name. Just like the ‘little monster’ sounds.
“I love you too, my big bad Alpha.” I close my eyes as I stay in his arms taking in his sweet scent. I didn't know that I would ever fall in love with someone like Ezekiel. I don't know how it happened. What I ever felt for him was anger and hatred. How did it turn into love? Or was it love all along?
