登入Kane's PoV Allie was curled on my lap as I hugged her tightly. We were supposed to be sailing; instead, we had spent the whole afternoon cuddling and kissing. Right now, she was pouting because I wouldn't take her right here under the stars. What she didn't know was that it was taking all my control to stop my wolf from marking her right now in every way. "Do you know that you look adorable when you pout?" I teased her. She turned her nose up and huffed with disdain. "Hey, don't be mad at me, Princess. Listen to me." I touched her chin, making her look at me. "The day I make you mine, I also want to mark you. I don’t only desire your body, Allie. I want your heart and soul as well. Heck, even your mind." I chuckled. "My mind?" She raised a brow and sat up on my lap. "Yes, because I want you to think about me fucking twenty-four seven." I declared, crushing my lips with hers. I bit and nipped at her plushy lips before I thrust my tongue inside her mouth, tasting her, savoring
Alison’s PoV. Being this close with Kane was what I had ever dreamed of since I could remember. He was always the one to pull away, though. He hasn’t this time. In fact, he has been steadfast by my side ever since we reunited. I brushed the strands of hair from my face as the wind whipped them wildly around me. It was then that Kane reached inside one of his pockets and handed me one of my old hair ties. A bright pink one. I blushed recognizing it. “How do you have this with you?” I asked as he stepped behind my back and tied my hair into a ponytail. The tender brush of his fingers sent forbidden pleasure down my spine and into places I do not dare mention. I turned then to look at him; his eyes had darkened. Was he looking at me with desire? When did he really start to feel this way about me? He had always rejected my advances, even after I turned eighteen. I was sure that I wasn’t his type. Our bodies were closer than before. We were alone in the middle of a lake, and no one
Alison's PoV A few days later, I took a permanent job at the Royal Hospital, complete with a shift and days off. I was determined to help Mom recover. Dad had spoken with Dr. Travis, and he finally agreed to team up with me. He was the hospital’s most brilliant doctor and in charge of treating my mother’s condition. Dr. Travis, at only 31 years old, was deeply immersed in medical research; he had made significant strides in treating the wolves of werewolves, but I found him rather aloof and hard to approach. When I walked into his office, he barely looked up from the papers in front of him.“Princess Alison, are you sure you want to join my team? My standards are extremely high. If your skills don’t measure up, no one here will truly respect you.” "Please call me Dr. Alison. At the hospital, I'd like to maintain a professional image rather than a political one." I corrected him politely. “I’m serious. During the years I was away from home, I worked as an ordinary doctor, and I ne
Lance put an arm around my shoulder. He had always been good to me, and even though we had a big age gap, we always got along easily. I missed him so much on my time away. "Look, Allie, don't take this matter to heart. Dad and I never meant to blame you. The truth is, that mother had been in poor health these past years, even before you decided to leave. She had never let us tell you anything. She enjoyed watching you laugh and wanted you to always be happy." I nodded as my eyes started to sting. "If that has been a little cold towards you lately is because he was overly concerned about your safety while you were gone. We all were. Is a fucking relief that you are finally home. Please, sister, don't do that again to us." His voice suddenly cracked. I hugged my brother and started crying on his shoulder. "Lance, I'm truly sorry for my sudden departure three years ago." He patted my back, comforting me. "It is all in the past, Allie." He said softly, kissing my temple. "No is
Alison's PoV I felt Kane before I saw him. I always did. It was here that I confessed to him three years ago. He said I would laugh about it later, but I still don't. "When are you going to come inside? It is chilly outside. I don't want you to catch a cold." He said with concern. He was always like this with me; overprotective. "I will be fine," I responded when I felt him putting his blazer around my shoulders. His scent enveloped me, soothing me. "A week after you confessed to me, Queen Athena suddenly collapsed, but you mysteriously vanished just as your mother was being admitted to the hospital for surgery. No one knew where you had gone." He said, standing next to me, with his hands in his pockets. He looked into the distance. "The days after your departure were agonizing and painful. It was then that I began to face my feelings for you." He sighed. "Your feelings for me?" I repeatedly felt confused. "After we reunited, I had intended to gradually bridge the gap between
Kane's PoV Tonight I joined Alison’s family dinner. Nixon and Lance were grateful to me for bringing Allie back. I had been dining at my quarters these past few days, but tonight I had decided to confess my feelings to her. "Alison." Nixon stared at Allie with the serious expression he always used whenever he was about to say something unpleasant. Allie noticed it and gave me a side glance. I smiled at her; she always looked at me for support whenever her father wanted something from her. "Yes, father." She replied, putting her fork down. "Now that you are finally back, we should return to the issue of your marriage." She paled, and my wolf stirred. "Don't look so surprised. You are of marriageable age, and alliances are important for our kingdom. In fact, I have many proposals, and I wanted to see if you would consider one of them." "For Goddess's sake, Dad, she just got here, and you are already trying to get rid of her," Lance growled. I was about to object as well, but All
