No more lies (5)

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

We returned to the apartment just in time to see the sunset from the balcony.

We stood next to each other, facing West, and I snuggled in Duke's embrace while enjoying the view of the Eiffel Tower in Duke's company.

The afternoon passed much better than I expected.

Duke had many questions, and I'm sure that he has a million more.

We returned with Duke knowing he is a half-werewolf, his father was the Supreme Alpha, my adopted father is a vampire, and I am not human.

I should be happy, but the possibility of my father awakening Duke's wolf successfully and Duke telling me I'm not his mate is gnawing me from inside and making me restless.

I knew that I shouldn't worry about things that might not happen, and I should enjoy the present. But the doubt was consuming me, and I pushed myself further into Duke with the hope that we will merge and never separate.
