Klaus
Her eyes showed everything that I needed to know. The swelling of her eyes told me that she had cried enough because of me to have her beautiful eyes turning red, her eyes were so expressive and honest. The way they held love and tendency for me in those blue oceans, I felt regret for making the worst decision of my life.
You know, when you have lost the reason for your life and then, you see something that inspires you to live. For me, she was an inspiration to live my life now. I had found the purpose for living, my sole focus till my death. I should make my mate happy and provide her with a life of dignity and love.
Tipping her chin in my hand, I made her look into my eyes. “Shush, Scar. I’m fine, now,” I mumbled while consoling her as I caught her eyes getting wet. “I’m sorry, I hurt you and made you put your life in danger.”
“Shut the fu-k up,” she suddenly struck my cheek once again, leaving me speechless. “How dare you leave me alone?”
“Ouch!” I exclaimed in pain, rubbing my cheek. “I’m an Alpha and getting hit by my mate. Wow,” I sarcastically said before kissing her hand deeply.
“Didn’t you think for once about me? How will I live if something happens to you? How could you give up on me when you promised me to fight?” she lashed out, charging at my chest with her fists continuously.
“Ouch!” Putting my hand on my chest, I shrieked, “ouch! Ah.”
“I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have hit your chest, it still needs time to heal,” she pulled herself a bit farther than me.
Clasping her hands, I stroked them soothingly. “It’s okay, you have the right to beat the crap out of me. I didn’t keep my promise and attempted suicide.”
“Yes. You deserve to get this," she disclosed stiffly and slapped me again. “Your cheeks aren’t hurting. I should make sure that your cheeks should be swollen by my slaps.”
Scarlett was behaving like a kid and she seemed indeed cute while doing so. A pout on her face, her eyebrows scrunched up in annoyance. I didn’t stop her from hitting me, she kept slapping me to her heart’s content until tears rolled down her cheeks.
Retrieving her hands into mine, I captured her lips into a slow kiss while slightly pushing her to the bed so I was on the top of her. My hands canoodled her cheeks and she started kissing me back.
How could I think of dying when I had her?
Her lips could bring life into my dead body.
“It’s because you’re a moron. You should start listening to me,” Todd commented in my mind, loving the kiss of our mate.
I rolled my eyes. “Yes, my horny wolf.”
“As if you don’t think about mating with our mate,” he smirked before disappearing into a fog.
Her hands swung around my neck as I tugged on her lower lip and she gave me entrance to her heavenly mouth which tasted like berries. I had to put my hands beside both sides of her head so my weight won’t be entirely on her body.
She pulled my face closer to deepen the kiss and I leaned toward her body. My arousal grazed against her belly as I kissed the depth of her mouth along with her tongue. She flinched under my touch, one thing that never missed any chance of enlightening fire between us- the sparks.
We felt the sparks and goosebumps whenever we touched each other. Due to my health condition, I was feeling pain and heaviness in my head when I woke up but as soon as my lips tasted her sweet lips, the pain disappeared from my body.
Her hands pressed against my chest and I reluctantly broke the kiss as I hissed in pain. I was craving her sweet mouth on mine and her hands on my body.
“Sorry, Klaus. I…I didn’t… is it hurting so much? Let me call Asher,” she stuttered and tried to get up from the bed but I pushed her against the mattress slightly, imposing my hand on her mouth, and stared into her widened eyes.
My eyes lingered on her chest, the rapid fall and rise of her chest alluring me to undress her and take her right then and right there. One more disadvantage of being an Alpha- highest sexual desires in comparison to the other werewolves.
“I had heard something in my mind-link which stopped me from dying. I guess if you’ll say that again, my wound will heal faster,” I whispered in her ears, lasting my lips there and fanning her earlobe with my breathing.
“What? I don’t remember anything,” she lowered her gaze. A blush adored her face and she pressed her lips not to smile.
Letting out a sad sigh, I pouted. “Seems like I’ll have to die to listen to those magical words again which can pour life into a dead body.”
How badly I wanted to hear those words again from her mouth!
Slapping my arm, she scowled before pushing me away. “If you ever think about dying again, I’ll…” she pointed a finger to my face.
Clutching her finger, I took a step closer to her. “You will what, my love?”
She swallowed a lump in her throat, stealing her gaze from me. “I can’t live without you, please, never do that.” Her glossy eyes stirred something inside me and I felt so guilty.
“I won’t, baby,” said I as I kissed her forehead. “I love you, Scarlett. I can say it hundreds of times. No. Thousands of times. No. Million times. No. Billion times…” I kept pecking a kiss on her forehead each time I increased the time and she started giggling.
Her voice rang in my ears loudly as she laughed whole-heartedly, her auburn blonde locks came forward to her face and covered her eyes whilst she was busy giggling, my heart skipped a beat. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, my eyes became like a camera, everything except her was in a blur mode and my sole focus was her face, her smile, her eyes, and her hands that covered her mouth eventually.
I was so busy being a camera that I didn’t realize I was staring at her like a maniac with a wide grin on my face. Tucking her blonde locks behind her ears which were stopping me to stare into her eyes, I folded my hands and looked at her face.
“You’re such a flirt. What comes after a billion?” She smiled, shaking her head.
“Forever, I guess,” I replied, her smile automatically inviting my smile to show up on my face.
“Again, you’re a good flirt but you can’t impress me with your flirting skills. I’m not Chloe or Avalon or any other girl who can be impressed by words,” she shrugged, keeping an attitude of a Queen on her face which strangely suited her more than the Alpha Queen.
“Then, what should I do to impress my mate?” I asked, making a puppy face.
Scarlett broke into a burst of laughter again. “Klaus, you look too cute to be an Alpha. Where is that big bad Alpha from whom everyone is scared of?” She said in between her chuckles.
“An Alpha should be the Alpha just for the pack members. To his family and especially to his mate, he should be an ordinary mate with affection, love, and care. My mate deserves my best side and I’ll do anything to make her laugh like this even if it means by adoring her cuteness or making this stupid pouty face of mine or being a joker.” As soon as I finished my words, she stood on her tiptoe and pecked a kiss on my lips. A real quick kiss, her lips drew back before I could reciprocate her kiss, making me want her more.
“A handsome Alpha dressed up as a joker…um, it’ll be thrilling,” she mocked and I nodded my head as no.
My grandfather cleared his throat before entering the room and Scarlett stood away from me, maintaining the distance.
“I’m sorry for interrupting you but the Alpha King shouldn’t get to know about this incident and you guys should make a mutual decision for your future. I don’t want you to suffer, I have decided that I’ll support your decision at the risk of our pack’s safety,” My grandpa firmly announced straight ahead and took his leave before we could respond to his words.
Taking her face in my hands, I cupped her cheeks. My grandfather was feeling guilty and he must have realized how he had ruined my life but I will take control now. It’s not just my life, it’s also my mate’s life, and anything that I’ll do will affect her the most.
“You know, the pillar of marriage should be love but they thought to trade with my marriage. My grandfather saved Amber’s grandfather’s life and when Xavier, the previous Alpha King, asked my grandfather to have anything as a reward, he asked for his granddaughter’s hand for me and as Xavier had promised already to give him anything he asks for, he couldn’t break his promise as the Dark Moon pack is known for keeping their word till their last breath so my marriage is just a tool to get the rank and alliance for my family and it’s just the game of ego and pride for the Alpha King’s family,” I had to explain everything to her so she could understand my final decision.
When I saw the pained expression on her face, I added, “I don’t care about any power, pride, rank, or anything else except you. That’s what the families think. To me, it’s suffocation, Scarlett. Trust me…”
