Amelie took a slow step forward, her eyes locked on Valko’s majestic form. Carefully, she reached out, her hand trembling slightly, not from fear, but from the overwhelming feeling blooming in her chest.
As her palm gently met his face, Valko closed his eyes, leaning into her touch. It was a silent surrender for love that needed no words. She could feel the steady warmth radiating from him.
A soft smile spread across her lips full of wonder and affection. She leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to the side of his face, just below his eye.
"It feels dreamy, Valko," she whispered.
Valko let out a low, contented sound, his tail swaying slowly behind him.
’I wish I had a wolf too,’ she thought, hugging Valko this time. The strong musk scent made her heart thunder more.
They remained like that for a while when Gabriel changed back into his human form, his arms wrapping around her waist, taking in Amelie’s scent.
"You changed back," Amelie murmured, pulling up her face to meet his gaze.
Gabriel didn’t respond. Instead, he captured her mouth into a fierce kiss while tilting her head to one side. She had to tiptoe even though she was in her heels, reciprocating to his kiss.
She found herself landing on something soft and opened her eyes only to find they were in their room. Gabriel had teleported them. The bags in her hands lowered to the floor above the rug.
Amelie withdrew from the kiss while panting. "Wait, I need to breathe," she murmured.
"Sorry," Gabriel caressed her hair and planted a soft kiss on the top of her head.
"Where are you going?" Amelie questioned as soon as Gabriel stepped away.
"I need to order dinner for us," Gabriel replied.
"I thought–" Amelie paused and bit her bottom lip.
"I need to make sure you don’t skip your meals," Gabriel stated, grabbing the landline phone.
"I love you," Amelie said to which Gabriel arched his eyebrow at her. The line connected and he ordered the meals when Amelie teased him by giving him a firm kiss on the cheek before running to the washroom.
Gabriel set down the phone and chuckled in joy. Suddenly, so much had changed in his life and he was happy about it. "I’m glad I chose you Amelie. Despite everything, I am going to choose you in every situation of my life," he murmured with a smile.

Katelyn ended the call and slowly lowered her hand, her brows slightly furrowed. "I wonder what’s going on with my elder brother... Even Mom wouldn’t tell me," she murmured, her voice tinged with concern.
The cool night breeze swept gently across her face, tugging at the strands of her hair and tossing them to the side.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here alone in the garden?" Karmen asked, approaching her with quiet steps.
"I was speaking with my mother," Katelyn replied softly. Her eyes drifted to the file in his hand. "You’re always working every time I see you."
"Prince Gabriel hasn’t resumed his duties yet. That’s why," Karmen said with a small, understanding smile.
"Hmm," she murmured.
