Beast Alpha and His Cursed Luna Chapter 146: Chosen me?

VALENCIA’S POV

I knew it was going to be hard, facing him and taking all the scoldings but I didn’t know he would act like that when I saw him.

I had expected Dylan to lash out at , but to my surprise, rather than scolding about things, he held my hand and pulled in for a hug, stuffing his face in the crook of my neck.

It has been 5 minutes since he has been hugging and I don’t know what to do anymore.

It is always easy for to get around whenever anyone scolds because that’s exactly what I expect them to do, but when they act like this...

My body was finally relaxing in his embrace and my heart was starting to find solace as he tightened his hold on .

"I am sorry," I finally muttered the words.

I had no plans to apologize. It wasn’t my fault, but Dylan didn’t deserve it either. He has been anything but good to ever since we t the first ti he ca to look for because I was a lantern and he needed to check up on in the na of customary check of lanterns.

"I will never forgive you if you ever leave like that again. This ti I had a vague idea where to find you because of the last conversation we had and you ntioned your interest in coming here. What would I have done if you had gone sowhere else?" Dylan said.

A sense of guilt washed over before I sighed.

"Whatever," I said, not wanting to admit that his words were making my heart feel warm.

He smiled into my hair before finally letting go of , and before I could react, he smacked my head, making scowl.

"Hey!" I glared at him.

"This is for worrying and causing trouble whenever you go. You didn’t even leave Lycans," Dylan said, and I grinned a little, making him shake his head at .

Dylan looked into my eyes for a few seconds and I knew he wanted to talk about sothing.

I shook my head at him.

There was no way Maverick was going to leave us alone for so ti and he nodded at gently to let know we would have this discussion later.

"If you guys are done, shall we leave?" Maverick asked.

Leave? Leave where? Back to the pack?

"I am not leaving. Dylan, tell him," I said, squinting my brows hard to let him know I was serious about this.

"You don’t have a choice in this. You are under investigation by my pack and what I say will go," Maverick looked at , his gaze telling he would resort to force and probably throw on his shoulders and take away if that was the only option left.

As much as I would love that because I was a fan of dark romance, this was neither the ti nor the occasion for it.

"I am not leaving until my work is done," I said firmly.

"Dylan, can you leave us alone for a few minutes?" Maverick said and I looked at Dylan, who left without looking at again.

Seriously? He betrayed too? Why was everyone around siding with Maverick suddenly?

This wasn’t fair at all.

"Look, if you think -"

"Let’s leave for sightseeing. I heard it’s a beautiful place," Maverick interrupted .

I looked at him, confused.

What did he an to go sightseeing?

"I realized from the mont we t, that we haven’t actually spent quality ti together without you going through one thing or the other. How about now?" He asked , backing into the wall.

I raised my brows at him.

Since the mont we have t? Why was he acting like I was his mate or sothing?

As if he read the thoughts in my head through my eyes, he smiled and touched my chin with his knuckles, rubbing my skin softly.

"Don’t you get it? I have chosen you," He leaned and whispered into my ears.

To say I was surprised would be an understatent. No matter what kind of thoughts he was having in mind while saying these words, I wasn’t stupid to not understand the underlying aning and I gulped.

What the hell? This wasn’t how things were supposed to work.

He and I were worlds apart, for god’s sake.

It was true that I was attracted to him and wouldn’t have a problem with having a fling with him, but that was that. There was no way I was going to trust an alpha for my life, definitely not the one who hated my kind of people, like the rogue and liar I was.

"You have lost your mind, Alpha Maverick. Chosen ? Chosen for what? I don’t want to be chosen for anything or by anyone. If you think I will -" I couldn’t complete my sentence when he pushed against the wall, his knees parting my legs.

A gasp left my mouth when his knees rubbed against my womanhood, and I looked into his blazing eyes with dark ones of my own.

What was he trying to pull here?

"I don’t rember the ti when I was given the right to decide who I choose to like and care for," He whispered, brushing his knuckles on my cheeks.

He smirked at , the kind of smirk that tells one person there was no escape for him.

"Alpha Maverick, you don’t understand how things work with . I can’t be -" Before I could complete my sentence, he placed his forehead on mine.

I stopped speaking, sothing telling it was the right thing to do, and let him speak this ti.

"I don’t expect you to love , Valencia. I am ready to fall for you one-sidedly. Do you think it’s easy for ? As the alpha of a pack, of course, I considered everything before saying these words to you," He said.

Aurora sighed happily in my head. I, on the other hand, didn’t know if this was really the right decision for him.

"Look into my eyes," he said, and I did as he told .

His eyes which have always appeared beautiful and mysterious to held such deep emotions for that it scared for a second. I tried to avert my gaze but his hand stopped from looking away.

"Do you think I would lie to you? What are you really afraid of?" He asked and I shook my head.

Tears brimd my eyes for so unknown reason as he scrapped the part of my life that I didn’t want to discuss with him right now.

What was I afraid of? I was afraid of trusting soone and being let down again.

I was afraid that I would fall in love with him and the mont he found out I was a rogue who does off jobs to earn my living, he would kill , or worse torture and reject .

Though his rejection won’t matter to because he wasn’t exactly my mate, what about my heart that was starting to lean towards him?

Just because I haven’t said I like you to him doesn’t an I wasn’t getting used to his presence around and that he was starting to beco my weakness, sothing that was lethal for a person like .

"I am not afraid of anything," I said and he smiled at . He smiled as if he could see right through my facade.

"If you are not afraid of anything, I guess you won’t have a problem letting stay around you," He said and this ti I couldn’t say anything at all.

This fucking cunning Alpha. He definitely has ways with words. He knew I would say I wasn’t afraid of anything. It was clear in his eyes and he used it well against to -

"I really really like you, Valencia," Maverick said.

My heart stopped for a second. It was almost as if it was too hard to breathe as I looked into his eyes that looked at with a smile. Yes, his eyes were smiling at , if that was even possible.

"I..."

"Shhh, I don’t need your answer or anything. This is sothing I wanted to say and I did it. You have no idea what kind of obsession I have with you, and I hope that I don’t scare you with it," Maverick said before he kissed the corner of my lips.

He didn’t remove his lips from my face as he mumbled softly.

"I want to live with you. Even if I am lost, I want to be lost with you. I am thankful to the moon goddess for letting et you even if it was for so ti and was a chance encounter. Allow . Allow to prey on you, Mitsuki," Maverick said and I felt my lips twitching at the last part of the sentence.

What was he saying?

Let him prey on ? Seriously? Wasn’t this way of proposing to stay with a little too casual and funny?
