"Just put your arms around me, because if I don't have you here, right beside me, I don't have nothing at all," he whispered under his breath, while slowly inhaling my scent.
So I did, I wrapped my arms around his neck. Just in seconds, I was already on his arms; he slowly carried me to my father's packhouse. Some of the pack members observed us, which made me feel uncomfortable — me being carried bridal style, in arms of the most feared man ever heard of. A light blush crept on my cheeks, and Azrael chucked.
"Is this situation amusing to you, Alpha Valentino? Because if so, I'd love to find out what's so funny," I mumbled, hiding my face against his chest.
"I am not Alpha for you, little mate, we are equal," he stood in front of the packhouse and sighed.
"You know that all I wanted was for you to tell me what's so funny about this situation," I looked up at him, our eyes met instantly. I could look into those eyes and never get enough, maybe that's just our bound, but perhaps I'm really in love.
His eyes kept flickering down to my lips and again back to my eyes. I was so taken aback like there was a spell put on me, I couldn't look away from him. Suddenly his warms lips were on mine as if he was trying to get me back to the reality, at the same time letting me fall deeper into a spell of his. This man is going to be the death of me. Just as unexpected as the kiss started, it ended. His lips left mine, and quiet growl left my lips.
"Later, little mate," he whispered into my ear, and I swear my knees got weak. He sounded so demanding, so powerful, yet sweet and gentle.
"Let's go, my parents, right? I mean, you need to talk to my father?" I mentally slapped myself. What the Hell is happening to me? Just a few months ago, I was a warrior, best of all, I was cold-blooded, and nothing could get me out of my place. Suddenly this man appears, changes everything, literally everything. The way I feel, the way I think, the way I act. Suddenly I don't feel safe if he's not around, yet if he is, he is so intimidating it sometimes scares me.
"Cute," he whispered and carried me inside of the building. I was placed on my own feet, and I have to tell you that I didn't like being so far away from him, nor did my wolf.
"Ah, Alpha Valentino, it's a pleasure," my mother rushed into the living room, dragging my dad by his hand.
"Luna," Azrael lightly nodded his head and shook hands with my father.
"I guess we have something to talk about, let's go to my office," my father said coldly, and Azrael followed him.
I was left there, feeling alone, even though I was with my mom. If lonely is a taste, it's all I taste right now.
"Let's go and pack your stuff, sweetheart," my mom encouraged me, and we headed upstairs to my room.
After what seemed like hours, but was 15minutes, I felt his presence next to my room. I didn't need more, so I got up from the bed, where I was sitting, and ran to the door, instantly running into rock hard wall. Well, not wall actually, it was a chest - my mate's chest. I looked up at him, his smile clearly showing off his current emotions.
He was so handsome. I don't care if that's just our mate bound, I don't care if I was only supposed to fall for him, it doesn't matter. All I know is that under that vicious killers mask is the man I love, and he loves me also. I think he does. He hasn't said a word, the same as I; he kept quiet. Suddenly my mind was overflowing with different scenarios of him leaving me for someone else. I'm just me; it wouldn't be the first time in history when a mate has been rejected. What if he will find a better one? What if he will decide that I'm just too troublesome or not good enough? What if he will change his mind?
Suddenly his index finger was placed under my chin; he slowly made me look up at him; our eyes met once again. There it is, the feeling of being under a spell.
"I don't want nobody, but you. There's something about your mindset and body, that got me thinking of nobody, but you. I'm under your spell. I am yours and yours only. I can't look at other women the way I look at you. Damn it, I don't want to look at any other women, but you and you only. You're the only one who will be beside me — the only one I really and desperately want to have by my side. I want to grow old with you. I want to fall asleep and wake up next to you. I want to have pups with you, a real family, our family. Do not try to doubt yourself or me. You are perfectly imperfect; you are all I've been dreaming about, even when I couldn't admit that I needed you. You were made for me, the same as I was made for you," he suddenly looked down and took a deep breath, in a moment once again, looking into my eyes.
"There are a million reasons why you should stay with me, yet I won't tell any out loud, for now. I will show you; I will prove you that you're all I need", Azrael smiled and gently kissed my forehead.
"Let's go home," he whispered and went into my room, taking all of my bags and going downstairs.
"Home."
