Wait for Me

SCOTT POV

I sighed deeply and faced her, all ready to confess my extreme fondness I have for her. The time is now and in my head, all I want is her.

"I tried so hard to keep you off my mind. I did my best to pull myself away from you.. but I just keep ending up next to you", I know I sounded like a fool seeing her widening her eyes.

"Ever since I imprinted on you, I think of you before I close my eyes. You fill my dreams, and even my nightmares. Your face is the first one I see upon sunrise.", I bit my lower lip as I paused for a while.

"Your scent drives me wild, wanting to touch you, kiss you and lock you in my arms. You pull me like magnet. I hold my breath when you're close to me. Your scent tortures me, making all my nerves crave for your touch.", holding her hand, I sniffed her fingers before I kissed them.

"The time when you were attacked by William, I sensed danger but I was too late sulking from my unjustifiable feelings. I wanted to kill them all, even Christina. But you said, I should choose to be kind. And, I did.", remembering that moment, I felt anger and regret for not being there with her. I clutched her hand on my lap, caressed it with my thumb and stared at it.

"It broke my heart when you cried at the café. I wanted to personally give you the napkin but, I was too afraid.", smiling a little as I exhaled sharply professing my sentiments. I could no longer look straight to her eyes. But when I glanced at her, she looked like she's about to cry.

"I almost die out of jealousy when other guys talk to you.. especially the time when you had lunch with that pale guy. ", Lifting my brows at her as I curve my lips. I truly envy that vampire, and would love to kick his ass so he won't touch my Luna anytime soon.

"And when I look into your eyes, I see my reflection.. a happier and at peace version of myself.", Placing her hand back to her lap, she squeezed it before I let it go. How could I deny myself from such glorious pleasure?

"Didn't you hate me for being a doctor?", Diana looking puzzled at my confession.

"I didn't particularly hated you. I hated myself. I'm not perfect, I have flaws. It may take a while for me to move forward, but I'm going to take all the risks and go beyond the extra mile to be with you.", I moved closer to her as I gently twirl her hair with my finger. She placed her palms on her face and placed them on her cheeks. Then, with her sapphire eyes, she stared at me like she's staring at my soul.

"So you have that kind affection for me because you imprinted on me?", she said as she wet her lips. "But Scott, I want to be loved for who I am, not because of an imprint. I don't think you'd take interests on me if not for that.. ", looked down and started to fidget on the blanket.

"I think, to be cherished at my best, and accepted at my worst are one of the grateful things of being loved. And I want to have that..", she tucked her hair behind her ear.

My Luna may have imprinted on me, but living her life as a human without any recognition of her wolfness, and whatever caused it made her take a great sense of control even under the spell of human love with attachments of intimacy and commitment.

"You see.. I don't have any wolf senses like you..

But, I admit, I feel a sudden urge of not letting go of your hand when you hold me. My heart flutters when you smile at me.. And back in the island, for the first time in my life, I found tranquility in the company of a man.. All are too superficial, but.. ", it felt like she's going to reject me so I had to cut her off. No matter what her answer will be, she's my Luna. And I won't

let her go.

"Diana, I'm a pure-blooded wolf and we trust on our instincts. The imprint may not be a free choice for us, but the more that I know you, the stronger and deeper my feelings become. My destiny is you, so I'll always choose you.", I lifted her chin up and looked at her as I swallowed a gulp in my throat.

"You may be different, but you're not any less than me. If you're unsure of what you feel, I won't force you. I'm willing to take the slow road to your heart until you figure that out.", caressing her cold cheek then her red lips.

"But I'm not a very patient man, Diana. I hope, you'll know what you feel very soon.", giving her an ultimatum may be unfair and too much for her. I have no other choice but I want her so bad. If chasing my Luna is one thing I'd do, I'll be best at it until I make her mine.

I went close to her, and attempted to kiss her. She didn't moved an inch. I saw her close her eyes and my heart skipped a beat at my Luna who's giving me the right to kiss her at this very moment.

I placed my hand behind her head, rested my forehead on her forehead, then closed my eyes.

"If I kiss you, I may not be able to stop", breathless as I keep my position.

"Scott", she whispered.

"Wait for me", she said as she put her hands around my neck.

I smiled and stroke her hair. With just one move, our lips could touch. But I chose not to.

"Don't make me wait too long", I said as I rested her head on my shoulder. I hummed a lullabye until she falls asleep.

I carried her gently, not waking her up, and brought her up to my bedroom. Then I laid her down carefully and pull up the covers. Staring at my delicate Luna, I wonder what suppresses the wolf in her.
