He was so busy getting mesmerized by her that he didn't realize when his hands touched her face.
A few hairs were covering her left eye, covering her face from his view. He didn't like it and he eagerly pushed them away from her face.His touch made her awake and she looked into his eyes. Her eyes were dreamy at the start but suddenly they filled up with sorrow.She was looking like a fragile doll. Innocent looking with so much sorrow in her beautiful eyes.He understood that she was slowly realizing what has happened to her. He wanted to give her some time to get herself together but he couldn't bear the pain in her eyes."You can meet them whenever you want to once we are done with this entire mating thing. I will never take you away from your family," he said.She looked at him with widened eyes. She wasn't expecting him to behave this softly with her."And why would you do that?""Because I don't want you to stay sad. All of these are for you and only you. What price are they going to have if you stay here with a sad heart?"She kept looking at him. Her mind was clouding with hundreds of questions yet she doesn't know how to speak her mind."You have lots of questions, right?" She nodded at his question. He smiled."I am ready to answer all of them. You can shoot your questions one after another," he said, sitting more comfortably in his place.The car only has them and the driver. They have a black tinted window in between them and the driver so that the driver can't see what's going on the other side.He couldn't even hear what they were saying. Once Azariah realized this, she started feeling excited for some unknown reason.The idea of what they can do in this car without the driver knowing despite him being here was an exciting thing.The next second she started scolding herself for such thoughts."You are so young. How come you are the Alpha?" She asked, playing with her fingers.Ace wanted her to give her entire attention to him. He took her hands in hers and her eyes widened for a second."Relax," he said and that's what it took for her to relax. She instantly calmed down."My parents married each other because of love. They are mates but the main reason was love. Since my father was the Alpha since the very start and had lots of responsibilities, he honestly couldn't give her as much time. He couldn't take her on world tours, the main motive of her life," he was caressing her fingers.Azariah was having a hard time focusing on what Ace was saying due to the magic his fingers were doing."As soon as I hit 18, he decided to hand over his Alpha duties to me and take my mother on world tours. Since they don't have any other kids, I was the only hope. He still manages a few works and our family company though. This might be why I am here before you as a young Alpha," he said in a calm tone.Azariah was happy for Ace's mother. She got such a loving father but at the same time, she was feeling bad for Ace.He was still young. They could have waited a few more years before handing out the power to him.According to his words, his parents dumped their duties on him and visited this world. That was sad."How old are you?""I am currently 22," he said with a smile but Azariah's smile dropped."It means, it means -" her face turned pale.Ace was only one year older than Azariah which means he has a mate somewhere out there. He can't be with her forever."It means what? Calm down, love. Why are you panicking? Everything is going to be alright. Tell me what happened. Is everything ok?" Ace asked with a worried look, his hands now cupping her face." You have a mate somewhere out there and I am not your mate. You can't perform that mating ritual with me," she said.Ace was looking at her with an amused smile."So you still haven't understood?" He asked while a small smile was playing on the edges of his lips."Understand what?" Azariah's mind wasn't working at all."This," Ace said while touching her hands, and her eyes widened. She could feel the electric shocks that bought her pleasure instead of pain."B-but h-how i-is t-that?" She was stuttering so badly that Ace was again worried about her."Why are you so surprised? We both have wolfs, in fact, I am a Lycan. It's only normal for us to have a soulmate. Why are you so shocked like you never expected to have a mate?" He asked, not knowing that her next words were going to give him a shock."That's because I lost my mate 2 years ago. How can I have another mate?" She said tears were streaming down her cheeks by now.His inner wolf was angry about the fact that someone other than him was paired with her but Ace knew that showing his anger would only push her away now.Hence, he just pulled her closer. Her head was now on his chest. She could hear his heartbeats that were beating for her only.He could smell a sweet fragrance on her and feel her warm body against him.It was enough to remind her that she only belongs to him now. Both of them calmed down.The mate bond was too strong.The car stopped and they parted away."Where are we?" She asked."Home, our home," he said while caressing her cheeks with his thumbs.She nodded her head and he opened the door.Their ears filled up with different questions from everyone around them but all they did was look into each other's eyes."Who's she? Is that your chosen mate?" A kid asked. It wasn't the pack members who were surrounding them. It was the kids from the pack.Curiosity could be seen as clearly as the daylight in their eyes. They were so cute that Azariah's eyes filled up with awe.She has always liked kids despite all the troubles they bring with them. She knew that they could be hard to manage sometimes but her love for kids was just too much to not be able to tolerate their mischievousness."So, you like kids?" Ace asked once he noticed how adorably she was looking at them.Azariah absentmindedly nodded her head and a smile touched Ace's lips."I like kids as well," he said and she again looked at his eyes.Her late mate wasn't a kids person. He used to say that kids are really troublesome.He was planning on not having any kids of their own. Something like this coming from her mate did broke her heart but since, she was so in love with him, she couldn't help but ignore this as well.Not everyone was
They started walking again but this time, side by side with ones hands on anothers.They soon reached before Ace's home.They went inside the house. The house didn't look that big from the outside but the same couldn't be said for the inside.It had navy blue themed walls and a bed placed in the middle.This room didn't have lots of furniture. Just the bare minimum one needs to live.Instead, it was clean and looked so sorted out, with no unnecessary drama. Azariah liked it.Other members also have their homes around it but as it was night, Ace didn't feel like making her see the entire thing.They just decided to rest in his house for now.Azariah was a little confused. She agreed to stay at his house and as his mate, she knew that they are supposed to stay together but she doesn't know if she's ready to share the same bedroom yet."Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Ace asked."How would I know what you are thinking?" Azariah said, still playing with her fingers. She was feeling
"I am asking for the last time. Where do you want to sleep? In this room or in another room. I can manage both for you. You don't have to force yourself into doing something you are not ok with. I promise that I won't mind," he said.Azariah always had this fear that her mate would turn out to be like the typical mates. She grew up watching over possessive mates who would try to kill whoever looks at their mates.She grew up watching men who would try to use their rights on women whenever they can. They would use the title called mate, boyfriend or husband and try to satisfy themselves at every chance.Some would even go as far as to force themselves on the girl, saying that it's his right.All of these would always make her super angry. Just because they are her lover doesn't mean that they can force themselves on her.Most won't even bother thinking whether the girl is comfortable or not.She grew up dreaming of having kids of her own. She was always this soft type woman who loves k
Azariah was breathing in the air with her eyes closed. An peaceful smile was playing on her lips. Ace bought out his phone and took a picture of her. He looked at his phone's screen and smiled at how perfect she was looking in it.Just like an peaceful fairy who came to this beautiful earth to rest for a while in the middle of thousands of flowers.She was indeed a fairy, his fairy. Her peace was too precious to him and he didn't want to disturb her.They just sat there together without any words. The golden light was falling on them, it was so beautiful that if any artist saw them together then, they could write a book about their beauty, they could make a painting then and there to capture this beautiful scenario, they could write an song about them.Even though they did sleep the entire night, they were still feeling sleepy.Who won't? The chirping of birds were no less than one's favourite music. The breeze was so fresh and peaceful that one would easily feel relaxed.And once s
All of a sudden, the pain in her heart became bigger than the pain in her injury.She realized that there was no point in trying to fix this small wound when it was nothing compared to what she was feeling inside.She left from there, still trying to manage her heart into forgetting him.On the other hand, Ace and Azariah was already in Ace's kitchen. It was clean and cozy. Azariah was liking Ace's taste. It was approved by her.One by one, Ace started taking out the ingredients to make pancakes. She was simply standing by his side, doing absolutely nothing.He started mixing everything together to create the batter for the pancakes. One by one, he started putting them on the pan and all of them surprisingly turned out perfect.She was amazed and jealous at the same time. She was proud enough to call herself a pancakes specialist but even after being that expert about pancakes, she never managed to make all of them perfect like his ones.Her's ones were either too flat or not beautif
She was watching the movie while he was working. Her eyes were glued to the screen while he would occasionally look at her.Having her near him while working bought him an different satisfaction. He was happy by having her near him.It bought her more motivation to work with full force. He continued to work and work.She was already done with one movie and then she looked at him to see that he was still working. Normally, she loves to watch movies alone in her room. It gives her more freedom to laugh as much as she wants to but with him sitting near her, she wasn't sure. She couldn't laugh as freely since she knew that it was going to disturb him."Are you listening?" She asked, her voice a little hesitant. Everyone she knows doesn't like being disturbed when they are working.She personally doesn't like being disturbed while working either. If she is doing something with full focus, she definitely would want nobody to bother her.It simply kills her motivation and energy to work mo
"No fuc*ing way,"she gasped."I know that it's shocking but that's the truth," he said."You are in your last year of college. I am in my 3rd year. You are my senior. Man, how did you even got this title?" She asked, making herself comfortable.Ace smiled. With each passing second, she was becoming more casual in front of him and he was loving it. He loved knowing that she was comfortable enough around him to casually talk to him like he's no one special to whom she needs to be afraid of.Most of the people in his life would speak to him as if he's going to bite them. He knew that he can be intimating sometimes but he didn't have anger issues. He would never attack someone unless there's a good reason to.That's why he was still able to hold on his title. One can't become the king of kings unless they are powerful yet kind.He was powerful but he would never misuse his powers. They were gifted to him by the god to protect himself and everyone around him. His powers weren't given fo
"It means that you are not a virgin. How are we going to prove others that you are pure? Someone impure can't be our Luna," Athena's mother said and Athena was looking at her mother with widened eyes.She didn't expect her mother to step this low. Whether Azariah was a virgin or not is her personal matter. She was no one to say anything about it yet she was going ahead with herself.And most importantly, system doesn't have any proof to prove that Azariah is not an virgin.Ace who was calm till now, was raging. He wasn't going to tolerate anyone disrespecting his mate like this.His love for Azariah wasn't going to change either way. He was going to love her just as much, even if she isn't a virgin."That's more than enough. You are no one to point fingers at my mate. Whether she is a virgin or not doesn't define how she is going to be as a Luna. She is an pure woman and she is forever going to be a pure woman. Being a virgin or not doesn't proof anything. And we are living in a moder
