Chapter 18: Secrets

I've never been this close to him before, and it did weird things to my body, especially my poor heart, which was beating at an abnormal pace and I feared it would literally jump out of my chest at any given rate, he knew how much he affected me, yet he looked unbothered.

I was frustrated at myself for letting these things get to me, I always tell myself that I'm over him and that I have a boyfriend now, but who am I kidding? You know the situation where you love the guy so much that no matter how much he hurts you, you end up going back? This sure felt like it, excluding the part where we weren't together.

Being a werewolf complicates this situation much more...we werewolves have heightened senses as well as emotions, and having a voice inside your head nagging at you to see their mate isn't exactly easy.

It's true when they say our emotions are the loudest when we're silent.

I snap my eyes to his stormy grey ones, I see a mixture of emotions brimming in them, sadness, longing and hurt. Which confuses me to no end. This is probably the first time I'm seeing some sort of emotion in his eyes other than coldness.

My eyes take in his godly features, to his perfectly arched brows to his slightly crooked nose which might have been broken a few times definitely from a fight. His naturally plump pink lips which would make most females envious of them, to his sharp, chiseled and angular jaw which looked like it could cut through things. His neck which is covered in numerous tattoos, it covers almost all of his body.

They all seem to tell a story, I find a peek of a tattoo on his collar bone, a name perhaps which I couldn't read because it was covered by his dark t-shirt.

The feelings I've tried so hard to bury inside of me seems to come to surface without my knowledge. I thought I could live without him, maybe this is why the elders say that what you've with you mate is special, you are made to fit each other perfectly.

The anger I had inside of me all this time seem to dissipate all of a sudden.

My hands raise on their own accord, I slowly bring them close to his face, my fingers slowly comes in contact with his flawless skin and his body seems to freeze in tension and he eventually relaxes. His tense shoulder sags as if he has been tired for too long, carrying the weight of all the world upon his shoulders, being an Alpha isn't easy and I'm sure he's a great one at that.

He brings his face close to mine if that's even possible, I wait with bated breath to see his next actions. He tilts his face and I close my eyes involuntarily.

My body seems to jolt with tingles all over them when I feel his soft, pillowy lips on mine, leaving a small peck there for a fleeting second and it's gone.
