Chapter 48 EZEKIEL
EZEKIEL
The moment she touched me, the pain was gone. That was when it dawned on me that she was really my redemption just like her mother said one hundred years ago. Just that I refused to accept. I don't want to accept her, but I know that resisting her is making my heart suffer. I want her so badly.
This is one of the punishments Selene gave me. To feel an insufferable pain once every two months. It goes on for like one week. Nikolai, Aaron. Creigh and Lena know about it, but they did not know it's a punishment. I told them it's my breaking stage and whenever I'm in that stage no one should come into my room.
Dalia doesn't know about the rules and I forgot to lock the door because the pain took me unawares. That was why she was able to enter my room. And I'm glad she did because right now all I want is her.
I kiss her, savoring her sweet taste. I'm glad she understood how conflicted I am. She doesn't know what happened one hundred years ago, but she understood how difficult this is for me. I want this to work. I want us to work. I'm done pretending that I don't want her because all I want is her.
She's innocent and shouldn't be hated because of what her mother did. I feel that Selene is using her too. Though I don't want to believe that she will use her daughter. We are going to stop this war but first I will find out why Selene chose her daughter and me for this without giving us any clue.
Just like before, she is selfish. She always said that she's our mother and she looks after us, but she's just selfish. She doesn't think about us. She only thinks about herself. That's why I feel that there's more to Dalia's destiny. Her destiny to stop the war and me helping her achieve it…. There must be something behind it. There's something that Selene wants.
I can't tell Dalia about this. We will continue with our plan while I work towards this myself. Now that everything is linking itself together…. The anonymous message, the attack, the witch…. We are slowly achieving our plan. And I will be lying if I say that I don't want Dalia in my life. I want her and I won't hold back anyone.
I kiss her deeply, loving the way she tastes. I miss this taste and I want to have it everyday. I'm on top of her but I do not use my whole weight so as not to crush her. I plunge my tongue into her mouth as I suck her. She releases a little moan that sounds so tantalizing as I bite her lower lips and nibble it. I suck her lip and dip into her mouth again as I kiss her deep exploring every part of her mouth. After a while, we break from the kiss to take a rest. Her face is flushed and her lips a bit swollen as we stare at each other.
She looks so beautiful and perfect.
“And she will be a perfect Luna too,” Erik purrs. He sounds so excited. He's happy that I'm coming to terms of accepting Dalia as our mate.
But Luna?
Am I ready to announce her as my Luna to the pack members? I know my feelings for her. I don't think this is just about the mate bond. And it's a fact that I can't deny or resist it. But I know that once I announce her as my mate and Luna, there's no going back.
Will I regret that decision?
If it's in the aspect of loving her, I don't think I will. But if it involves Selene, I might. Because I don't know Selene's motive of making Dalia my mate. It might be something I won't approve of.
“No need to think about that, Ezekiel. Let's accept our mate. Whatever comes in the future we can go through it with her. She's strong. We will be there for each other. We can't continue to deny a feeling that is so strong like this.” Erik cuts in.
“What's on your mind?” Dalia asks as she touches my cheek. I love her touch. It's always soothing.
“I'm thinking about you…. About us.”
“Let's give us a chance. We are soul mates Ezekiel. There must be a reason we are fated to be.”
That's it…. A reason. I don't know what that reason is. But knowing Selene…. I'm sure it's not a good reason. But then again, I want Dalia. I will make her mine. Whatever that comes in the future, I'm ready to face it.
“I want you Dalia. I can't deny it anymore.” I murmur as I rest my forehead in hers.
“I want you too.” I quickly raise my head to stare at her.
“You do?” Her lips flushed as she nodded.
“Is it because of the mate bond?” I ask in a tiny tone. I mean it has to be the mate bond. She can't feel something for an asshole like me.
“Well, maybe it is, maybe it is not. I can't explain it, but all I know is that I want us to work.” She replies with a tiny smile.
“Then let's make us work,” I say and kiss her gently. “I will announce you as my mate and Luna to the pack members.”
“You will?” She asks with a surprise look.
I chuckle gently. She looks cute in her surprise tone. “Yes I will.”
“You don't have to do it if you don't want to. I can wait until you are ready,” she murmurs.
I shake my head in disagreement. “I know what I want Dalia, and I don't think it's wise to keep denying it. First of all I will tell it to the council and after that, I will make it public.”
Her face goes blank. Doesn't she like my decision? Is she still angry with me?
“If you don't want it, I can….”
“No. I want it…. I mean… It's just overwhelming. Just a few weeks ago, you didn't want me, and you even wanted me dead, and now you want to announce me as your mate and Luna.”
Now I regret ever being an asshole to her. I move to the side to sit beside her. I don't know what to say. Should I ask her for forgiveness for what I did?
She also sits up and faces me. “I don't mean it that why.”
Guess she understands what's going on in my mind. “But I was an asshole to you.”
“You really were. But then again I don't know what happened one hundred years ago.”
‘She has such a good heart,’ Erik says. He's right. Dalia is kind. She's also selfless. She has the heart of a queen. I could have lost her because of my stupidity. But right now. I don't care about anything. I'm going to make her mine.
