YOU ARE MINE

What if she was not his mate? Would he do the same?

Jedrek knew exactly what Lilac meant by her question, but it didn't make him fathom what the right answer for that, therefore he answered what he felt right now for Lilac.

"I don't know the answer for that question. Whether it's because you are my mate or not, whether the mate bond that urged me to do something impulsive and put aside my pride to bend my knees. But, all I know is; at this point, I will do everything to keep you safe."

Jedrek unbuttoned the last button from Lilac's dress and revealed her naked body. This would be the second time he got to see her naked, but in a totally different condition.

"You are my missing piece." Jedrek cradled Lilac in his arms and she closed her eyes under Jedrek's smoldering gaze upon seeing her body, but the sound of his voice soothed her ears. "You make me want to be a better version of me."

Lilac felt her dress slid away under her body.
