Chapter 175 ---- He cups my cheeks in both hands, makinglook at him through the soft rays of sunlight filtering through the window slats.
Valeria, I love you.
Im telling you again, I dont want you to have any doubts about it.
If you had told me, I know I would have been in shock, maybe acted like the animal I am at first, but I would never hurt you, my love.
Never.
And I couldnt stay away from you even if I wanted to.
Youve captured my heart, Selenia Valeria.
I swallow the lump in my throat with effort, and tears of emotion spill from the corners of my eyes uncontrollably.
T love you too, King Lycan, I whisper, running my hands down his strong back muscles.
For along time, you managed to makefall completely in love with youwith your rough ways, your toxic jealousy, and your crude ways of showingyour heart.
I guess I must be a masochist deep down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsmile and am gently embraced, savoring the peace and healing this moment brings me.
His delicious, wine-flavored lips touch mine in a kiss full of promises.
The most important one is that we would never be apart again.
We would raise our pup together, no matter the obstacles destiny threw our way; we would face them united. Aldric, what happened? Where are we? We stop kissing, breathing heavily, our legs tangled, and our bodies joined.
We're in the village of the Happy Witch, he answers, pullingcloser to his chest and turning us to our sides.
I then notice the canopy bed, the white gauzy curtains hanging from the four posts, a wardrobe in the corner, a dresser with a huge mirror.
Whose ---- house is this? Tt belongs to that conniving, scamming sorceress, he replies, as if reading my thoughts. We got here after that psychopath blew up the door, the bridge collapsed, and I protected you the whole time. Thanks to your mothers magic, we resurfaced through the underground currents and walked all night back here.
But...
did that woman just let us stay in her house like that? What do you think? he asked, raising an eyebrow, and I could already imagine the mess he must have caused.
You fainted and wouldnt wake up.
I was nearly in agony with worry; your magic seemed depleted, and the whole situation was chaos.
Then she appeared in the forest in front of us, that White Sorceress who healed Celine and treated everyones wounds.
We needed a place to recover.
Kael is no longer king.
We arrived at the village, and I took control.
This was the best house, so I kicked out its owner and handed her over to the villagers.
It was best that you werent awake for it.
He tells me, and with all the mischief hes done and the hatred they must feel for him, I dont even want to imagine her fate.
And how are the others? Quinn and Celine, I ask, even though I can feel their presence nearby.
They had survived, and Aldric confirmed it.
Valeria, theres something...
he suddenly gets too serious.
Queen Gabrielle...
she...

Did she die? I sit up, my chest tightening, the fragmented memories before passed out starting to take shape. Its true.
She was standing by the door, so close to the danger and the ---- explosion...
It couldnt be.
She was too powerful! No, no, relax, baby, breathe.
Breathe.
You cant get upset, think about the pup, he immediately holdsby the shoulders.
Valeria, Ill take you to see her, but you have to be strong.
Your mother...
she sacrificed herself to save us all and seal the door with the power of e the Selenias. She...
shes not doing very well.
Taketo her, I said decisively, moving to get out of bed.
I thought things would be bad, but when I entered that dark room and saw herthe powerfux, unstoppable, indomitable, and beautiful Selenia seeing what she had becnow filled my heart with pain. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
