Feeling whole

Azalea’s POV

“Oh for god’s sake Ace, kiss me already!” I said desperately

He cupped my cheeks and barely touched my lips with his, then kissed me gently, it was nice but it wasn’t Ace, he was holding back, so I ended our kiss and looked at him.

“What’s wrong Ace? Why are you holding back?” I said softly

“I…I’m trying to hold back Achilles, and I’m trying to be as nice as Carter with you, I hate myself Azalea, because whenever I act like myself, I only make you cry.”

I smiled at him and took his hand and led him to the bed, I sat, and he followed suit.

“Ace, you’re my fated mate, I don’t need you to become someone else to make me happy. All I need you to do is be yourself. I love you just the way you are….”

“You what?” He said not believing that I’m confessing my love to him
