The Alpha's Unclaimed Mate (Jason and Laila) by Caroline Above Story novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393

We had to face this sooner or later. But I really didn’t want to do this tonight.

“Is this what you want, Laila? To stay here and be a ruler?” I asked.

She worried her bottom lip with her teeth as her gaze dropped. “Admittedly, I hadn’t wanted this before, but… I don’t know. Already I’ve seen the good I can do. I can truly help people, more than I ever could when I had taken over Vanessa’s business. My life could have real meaning here. But…”

She lifted her gaze back up to mine, and we just looked at each other silently for a moment.

“But?” I gently prompted.

“What’s going to happen to us?” she said. “That’s what you are thinking too, isn’t it?”

I didn’t want to lie to her so I said nothing at all.

“Maybe…” She looked down again. “Would you stay? Just for a little while longer. Until we can decide what to do.”

I’d never be able to deny her that, not when I also wanted so badly to be near her as long as I could.

Slowly, I lifted a hand and placing it to her cheek, coaxed her attention back to me.

“Okay,” I said, and kissed her.

She made a whimpering sound, her arms coming around my neck.

The kiss deepened, both of us opening up to it at the same time. She clawed at my shoulders almost as desperately as I held her around the waist.
