"Lilah?"
"I... I'm sorry, but my heart won't stop racing," she said. "It's because you're just so sweet."
Hearing this, Kael stood there stunned for a moment, and then his face equally flushed.
He turned his face away as if Lilah could see his messed-up expression, and then cleared his throat.
"I... Am I the reason your heart is racing?" he asked, and she nodded.
"Yes. You're just so kind to me, and you keep saying sweet things. My... My heart can't take it."
Kael felt so touched that his heart started thumping heavily in a weird way. It was completely different from how it felt when he was worried to death about Lilah.
"I wish I could see your face and how your expression matched the words you say to me," she said, her voice trembling softly.
"Really? What if I'm not as handsome as you expected?" he asked, but Lilah knew the man in front of her—the Alpha, the Lycan king—was one of the most handsome men in this fictional world.
