Kahlan POV Eric shook his head slowly. "I don't." I turned away slowly. So, it was right. Eric wasn't the main culprit but I've been treating him badly all this while. "Kahlan," Eric called softly. I swallowed harder and closed my eyes against the tears that threatened to seep from my eyes. I couldn't blot out my parents' images from my mind. I could still see them, in their blood. This is all my fault. If I hadn't left that day if only I wasn't that angry. But there's no point in regretting, was there? I've lost everyone and I've done something wrong to my mate, thinking he was the one that killed my pack. "I believe you," I said softly but even my voice sounded unlike mine. How was I supposed to face Eric despite all I had done to him? Would he be able to forgive me? I felt weak suddenly. Before I knew it, I was in Eric's arms. I must have lost my balance and he must have caught me. "I'm sorry, Eric. I'm sorry," I stuttered as I felt emotions cloud my mind. I couldn't eve
Eric POV I couldn't tell Kahlan, not now by the way. I would do it later when this isn't as serious as it was currently. As far as I know Kahlan, she would never listen to me the moment she knew it was my brother that killed her family. She might think I sided with my brother to eliminate her pack. Damn, I don't want to lose her. For now, it seems like I have everything in control. I walked inside the hall again and my gaze searched around for the elders. Marco said the elders urgently wanted to speak with me. I have no idea what they want currently. They seemed to want to speak with me every moment. Little do they know that the misunderstanding between me and Kahlan has been settled. Ok, they all concluded on two things and I was supposed to go with whichever I was ok with. I was either supposed to force Kahlan or go with Naomi for now. Even after I told them that Naomi wasn't destined to give me an heir, they still insisted. They claimed that the whole pack is feeling restless
Kahlan POV After some minutes that Marco had walked out, I couldn't move. I wanted to wait for Eric as he had told me, but Marco's words rang in my ears again. I mean he has always told me the truth. It was because of him that I discovered that Eric was innocent. So, his claim this time must be right as well. Naomi? Eric's lover? I didn't want to feel anything for Eric but the mate bond kept drawing me closer to him. Even at that, I managed to do all I could but now that nothing was stopping me, I was starting to get jealous. I mean Eric is mine, he's my mate after all. On second thought, I got up from the bed. I'm not going to wait for Eric. In fact, I'm going to the party. I'm going to be with Eric. No one, not even Naomi will get my mate. "Hey! You look angry," a voice reached my ears. I looked up and my eyes went wide with shock as I stared at Hardin. "You don't look beautiful when you frown," he teased. I smiled. " Hi, how are you doing?" He shrugged slightly. "Fine. Yo
Kahlan POVHis hand cupped my left cheek and heat rushed into it. I eventually managed to breathe out, though it was still coming very fast.Now that I was no longer holding back, Eric was really affecting me."You don't look too good when you are sad," he acknowledged softly, his features striking me. He was too good to be true. It was as if he was sculpted from the master source, the perfect model.I wondered how he looked beneath those clothes."I'm just so sorry, Eric. And_," I sucked in a breath. I knew I had to say it but the words were difficult for me to utter."What?" Eric raised a brow and waited.I braced myself for it. I caused the misunderstanding anyways, I should be the one to rectify it. I should try my best, and not allow Naomi to get away with my mate."I want you, Eric," I whispered and opened my mouth to say much but the words flew out the window. I could only stare at Eric with eyes gone wide and lost.I must admit that Eric always managed to take away not only my
Kahlan POVMy heart skipped several beats as realization dawned on me. I only managed to ask for his forgiveness but it didn't change the fact that the Alpha was now mine.The elders must have been bent on making Naomi the Luna. No! I knew I must stop it! I must not allow it! My family was taken away from me. I won't allow such to happen to my mate."Ma'am," the maid jerked me out of my thoughts suddenly and I looked at her. "Is there anything I can do for you?"I shook my head quickly. "No, I'm fine but where is the Alpha having dinner with the Alpha?""At the royal dining room," she replied, bowing slightly.I regarded her for a moment and noticed that she was respecting me. Was there anything else I was missing? Well, I had no Luxury of more questions because I knew I had to do something before Eric got closer to Naomi."You can leave then," I told her and watched her walk out of the room before I pulled the blanket away and rushed to grab my clothes.A sigh escaped me as I stare
Kahlan POVI pulled back, as Eric kissed me the more, and desire clawed into me. "Are we seriously doing it on this table?"Eric smiled, the action revealing his nicely set of teeth. "I will do it anywhere with you."I laughed. " I don't want Naomi around you," I barely finish it when Eric's lips swallowed mine in another deep kiss."She won't," he said softly between the space of kissing me. "I can't wait to have you all to myself," his husky voice made my core tight.He's really affecting me so much.Smiling, I met his lips again for another kiss while my hands unbuttoned him, yet they were shaking and I had difficulty in getting a button off.He laughed at my action. "Cute," he whispered in my ear, nibbled on it, and pulled back to pull away the shirt.I stared at his chest again and the breath almost left me. "You like what you see?" He teased.I forgot to reply but instead nodded, my cheeks blushing hard.He gave me hickeys as his fingers went around the buttons. He was doing fi
Eric's povSex in the shower cubicle was the best. Kahlan had her arms around me in ecstasy while I continued to slam into her.She seemed to trust me now, and I would never let her down. Though, I'm still going to think about how to deal with my brother. But that will be after the war.I need to clear off the war before the mating night. This was why I had to make it in three nights.I pulled to a sudden stop as the water streamed down our conjoined bodies, the heat multiplying."I can't wait to be your Luna," she said.I smiled. "I have to leave for the fight I told you about. I should be back in two days, at least before our mating night," I informed and stroked her back.She pulled back to look at me. "Must you go?" She pouted cutely.I laughed. " Yes. Like I said earlier, they killed my mother. I need to clear them off before they attack my kingdom," I explained.She nodded briefly. " I will wait for you."I pulled back from her, then finally walked out of the shower cubicle. "I
Kahlan's pov A sudden knock jerked me out of my thoughts. I rushed out of the bathroom and took one of Eric's shirts. After Eric left, I decided to whirl away time by staying in the shower. I slept off eventually until it was morning. I didn't know if the designers came or not but well, I knew they would soon be here because they must take my measurements before Eric returns. I couldn't stop thinking about the sex I had with Eric. It was emotions filled and very hot. I imagine it over and over again. The way my body wants Eric again is something I didn't expect but I love it. After breakfast that morning, I decided to shower again because I was thinking of him and wishing he could return to me quickly. "Yes, come in," I invited as I buttoned up. The door opened and three maids walked inside. I recognize the last one as the lady that spoke to me in the hall. "We are here to take your measurements and provide you with the best quality of clothes," one of them expressed. I nodded
