Chapter 151

~Kai’s POV~

When I finally pulled away, I rested my forehead against Valerie’s and just breathed.

"You came," she whispered.

"Of course I did," I murmured. "I will always. I apologize for coming late. I..."

"It’s okay. I just... I’m tired, yes, and I wanted to be alone."

"So I should leave?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Honestly, I wasn’t chasing my mates away, but I just... I don’t think I want you guys to see me this way, and besides, those fishes just barged in, leaving me unprepared."

"Oh..." I paused, then stepped back a little. "I am sorry for barging in."

Valerie parted her lips to speak but suddenly remained speechless. "No, I am not blaming you. I guess you came after the storm had settled. I’m okay."

"So you don’t want me leaving now?"

I watched as Valerie shook her head before answering, "No."

"Okay then." I let my lips lift a bit on the side. My voice dipped lower as my gaze focused on her hands rather than her face. "That’s what terrifies me."

She looked up at me. "What does?"

"This thing between us. The matebond. It’s strong and loud. But it’s not just that, Valerie. It’s you. You’re in my thoughts constantly. I see you when I close my eyes. I feel you... even when you’re not around."

Her lips parted, but I wasn’t done.

"And tonight—it was deafening. Somehow, your pain and scream... I felt it in my chest like a blade. I couldn’t stay away."

She stared at me, stunned into silence.

I swallowed. "And it kills me that I don’t even know what caused it."

Valerie reached out, hesitated, then took my hand in hers.

"I don’t know what’s happening either," she whispered. "But something inside me is breaking. Something is burning. And I’m scared that no one will be left when it finally comes undone."

I squeezed her fingers gently. "I will."

She looked at me fully, like she wanted to believe that. I could see the doubt in her eyes and the pain etched across her face. Whatever it was, she felt it yesterday and today... It was definitely not easy for her, and it was painful.

I didn’t say anything more because I’d mean it again tomorrow. And the day after that. No matter what broke.

No matter what burned. I would still be here.

"Thank you, Kai."

"Don’t thank me. Just..."

I paused, staring into he lovely blue eyes like they were sucking me in.

"Just give me a chance to love you, Valerie."

As much as I had said those words in my head, I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud because I would be a fool if I said I didn’t smell Dristan over her.

He was doing so much to stake his claim over our mate, and the rest of us were letting him.

I summed up the courage. Whether or not she loved Dristan and wanted to be with him, we should also let her know how we feel.

"You should tell her how you feel about her, Kai. You love her. You love Valerie Nightshade. You love our mate, you stupid human," Kaiser scolded me.

I smiled to myself. Kaiser had a mouth on him when he became grumpy.

"What are you laughing at, you dimwit?"

At once, my expression changed and I glared daggers at him in my mind. "Watch it or I won’t ever let you shift. Behave."

<Kaiser: tsk, author, why didn’t you pair me with Dristan than this hooman?>

<Author: Umm, your names match? And he needs you to knock some sense into him?>

"Chicken."
