Kael's POV
"Are you worried about me?" I asked anyway, dying to hear from her that I meant something to her.
She stared at me for a moment, as if caught off guard. But then she turned to look away, wiping her tears.
"Why would I worry about you? I was just worried about Raven. If something happened to you, who would fight against that other top tier Alpha and protect our son?"
She didn't want to admit it.
"Then I will make sure to take that bastard Asher with me to hell when I am about to die. That way… uhm…"
Her hand covered my mouth before I could say more.
"Stop talking nonsense," she warned. "Idiot."
I removed her hand from my mouth. "Is it that difficult to admit you care for me?"
She tried to pull her hand out of my hold. "I… I was just…."
I pulled her hand with a light tug, and the next moment my lips sealed hers, shutting her mouth from making any more excuses. I savoured her sweet lips for a few moments and whispered, "I get it."
