Our Hearts Beating As One

"You are a liar; your attention is never on me for you to find me breathtaking. Your heart does not lie with me; you are blind to what you have, and I am not what you see. So stop lying to me." I snarl, my heart wailing, unable to bear the truth of his heart.

He has never spoken such lovely words to me before. He has never bared his soul to me like this, and now that he is doing so, I do not know how to take it in. How am I meant to trust a male who has never conveyed how he feels for me?

"Angel." He takes a step forward towards me as a means to settle things to cut through my tension and wrath, but I shove him away from me, not willing to compromise. He stumbles a few steps back but regains his composure in a second only to make his way back to me not allowing me to create any distance. Stubborn male.

"No. Do not come near me. It is my birthday today, Cronus, and all you did was spend time with another female when all I wanted was you beside me when all I wanted was your attention and love. I am your female Cronus. I am! I hate you, I hate you so much and for always making me feel this way."

He listens patiently, not interrupting, allowing me the space and time to speak my mind. My truth has him nod in understanding; he has no words for me but constant apologies.

"Forgive me. I got caught up with familiar faces and my duties that I did not pay attention to you. It is your day and I should have done whatever you wanted. I should have made it my priority to make you happy. Forgive me."

"But you didn't. Instead you-"

"I am here now, Qiyara; I will do whatever you ask of me. We can run away if you wish, leave this party, drive away just the both of us and celebrate the night just the two of us. What would you like to do, angel? Anything." He owns up to his mistakes and offers me a quick and efficient solution that is very much like an Alpha.

Yet, it does not faze me we could do all of that. But what is a matebond without love? I am tired of feeling like this, of always feeling as though my own male feels nothing for me. I do not wish to pretend I am in a fairytale and live daily with him when his heart has not chosen me like his wolf.

I want to tell him the truth. I will not hold my tongue or silence my throat anymore in fear of heartbreak. I wish to know what his heart feels.

"I do not want to, Cronus. I cannot do this another day; I do not possess the strength to pretend with you anymore and definitely not after what I witnessed between our wolves tonight. Do you not see? Do you not see how much he loves her? How much he worships her? Why? Why don't I deserve that? Why do you not feel the way I feel for you?"

Cronus looks increasingly bewildered with each word I utter, as though he does not comprehend the cause of my fury. As though all of this is eye-opening to him, he seems incredibly surprised, which has me frowning with irritation at my moon-blessed.

"I do not feel the same way for you? I thought you knew, angel. All along, I thought you knew how I felt for you. Perhaps, I may not have openly said it which is my fault indeed, but I have shown you through my actions and through my expressions. You are missing something here. Indeed, he loves her with the entirety of his soul indeed he worships he is obsessed with the both of you. You saw that and felt that, but you failed to witness that I too look at you the same way from the moment I wake up to peer into your dazzling eyes each morning to the moment I lay with you in my arms when our bodies rest at night."

His truth has my breath pause; it has the crickets surrounding us noiseless, and the world underneath my feet shakes.

"What do you mean? I do not understand?"

Cronus leans forward to delicately kiss my forehead with a muffled sigh, as though he is disappointed with himself as though he cannot believe that this is happening.

"What I am simply saying is that my heart is yours angel, my heart has been yours way before you came into my life and you have held it in your little hands ever since you kissed me the day we met." He gathers my wrists and brings them to his lips to kiss the both of my palms a husky chucke leaving his lips as he peers down at me. What is this? What is this mesmeric look in his eyes? Why is he looking at me with so much love?

"You are lying. You lie to me. Stop it."

My male takes a deep breath and offers me a curt nod of understanding. He lets go off me and kneels upon the dirt without another thought, soiling his pants with no care in the world, the entirety of his attention solely on me.

The moonlight once more descends upon his majestic features, my eyes broadening with astonishment for the guards that once shrouded my eyes, my insecurities, and my fears are lifted from my heart and I finally see it. He has me discern the reality—the reality that I was blind to, just as he mentioned.

Ah, I finally see it now. Has this been the way he has always been looking at me? Just like this?

"You are the enchantress of my soul and your presence fills my heart with a joy so profound, it eclipses all worldly treasures. I love you beyond measure more than life itself, my status, my wealth and my title, and with all that I am, I offer myself to you, surrendering every fiber of my being, if you'll accept me and find me worthy to hold your soul." The charmer of females is at my feet, his soul bared to me, and finally, in the deafening silence, I hear it. *Our hearts beating as one.*
