My heart constricted, not from pain but from happiness. I hurt her and yet she was still thinking of me.
I didn’t know this female could make me happier than she already did, even if she was acting a bit cold towards me. “Thank you... You can rest, but if you’re okay, I will send a pack doctor to come here and check on you today.”
“Oh, you can do that? Thank Goddess, I don’t want to travel anymore today.”
“Yes, we can. And I’m sure she will be happy to check her Luna.”
“She? Are you close to this female?” She stopped on the stairs and looked at me, one brow arched up.
I shook my head. “I have never been close to any female, I told you that.”
“Except Andrea. “ She let out a breath and smiled, but she took it back in an instant. “I forgot. Sometimes, I forget things.”
“Me too. Sometimes, jealousy clouds my senses too.”
“Who said about jealousy?” She gave me a frown before continuing on her way.
“Uhmm. Me. I’m talking about me. When I get jealous, I forget to think straight, so I say stupid things and make bad decisions.”
“Hmmm... Why didn’t you approach me when you were in Atlanta?”
“My Beta told you...”
“He did. And I told him, you’re an idiot.”
“I am.” I chuckled.
“Sometimes I wonder why I love you when there’s nothing lovable about you.” She said it like she was frustrated with me. Maybe she was.
“Ouch, I didn’t know that would hurt.” We were almost to our room when I slowed down and let her go ahead of me, but I grabbed her wrist and turned her around gently. “But I’ll take that. So you still love me?” I asked her, my brow arching up as my mouth slowly tugged into a smile.
Her eyes widened before she narrowed them on me. “I do... But it doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.”
“I know. But can you say it again? Sometimes a man needs to hear it.”
“Not today. Besides, you didn’t even say it to me. I don’t even know if you’re happy that I’m back...”
I didn’t let her finish with her words. I cupped her face and leaned my head down, staring into her hazel brown eyes. “Nadia... I love you. I fucking love you so much that I was losing my head for the last month that you were not here. I thought you were happy without me. But I promise you, I will do everything to make you and our baby happy. Just don’t leave me again. I’m not going to fuck up this time.”
She didn’t say anything, but she licked her lips and was staring back at me.
My eyes darted to her wet lips. I wanted to kiss her, but I didn’t want to cross whatever boundary she had for us.
“I will be a better mate, a better Alpha to you...” I added, my eyes still looking for confirmation from hers.
“I think this is the part where you’re supposed to kiss me… Or would you rather just stare…”
Fuck!She knew how to make me fucking giddy with her words. I didn’t let her finish and crushed my lips against her, kissing her bruisingly hard, taking everything I could from her lips to make up for the days that she wasn’t beside me.
The sparks and tingles were euphorias. I didn’t know such a feeling existed until she came into my life. And I was getting addicted to it.
Chapter 71
NADIA.
“I’ll think about it,”I told him when he said he wanted another chance.
I was doing my best to suppress all emotions I had for my mate. I missed him, and I wanted nothing but to be wrapped up in his embrace. But the big Alpha needed to learn his lessons—not to make me feel like I was trash that could be thrown away anytime he felt insecure about himself.
