Free Web NovelChapter 210: Chapter 210 I Accept You
Maze
I rear back at these revelations. I think back to our childhood. Really think back. Without the filter, I probably have had on every other time I did this, and now I see it. All the times she would play us boys out against each other. How she would flirt with me one day and ignore me the next. How she caused fights between Amber and me. Even between me and my parents. And she did it because she enjoyed it. I fell to my knees. I have been so blind. So stupid.
"Make this right, Maze. Don’t let the darkness overcome you. Your mate deserves the very best version of you." Inari says with a soft voice, and I know she is right.
The room is bathed in another bright silver light, and I keep sitting on my knees on the floor bawling like a toddler. A moment later someone rushes in the room, and I am pulled into arms that send sparks throughout my body. She came. She was at the hospital, but she must have felt me, and she came. I don’t deserve her comfort, but I snuggle into her embrace nonetheless.
"Maze, talk to me. What in the realm happened? I just came to the hospital when I felt your agony. Please talk to me when you can, my Alpha." Her voice is soft and sweet. She keeps her arms around me while I cry my eyes out. The truth hurts like a bitch, and I was not prepared to have my heart broken again. It feels like it keeps breaking, and when it starts to heal, then something or someone breaks it all over again. But as I sit in her arms, the warmth from her and the sparks of the bond between us, begin to penetrate the pain.
I hear running feet, and suddenly my mother’s voice breaks through my scattered thoughts.
"Kiara, what is going on? What happened?"
"I don’t know Luna. I felt him break down in pain, and I rushed here to see for myself. He was on the floor, and a silver light was retracting." Mom growls fiercely. And then she yells for Selene to come back and face her. Of course, the Goddess knows better than to face my mother when she is on a rampage, and she stays away. I sniffle. Something is growing inside of me. The love I feel from my mom, and the comfort I feel from Kiara. Even with how horrible I have been to her, she still dropped everything and came to me when I needed her. When I didn’t know I needed her, she was the only one I craved.
I sit up, and Kiara retracts her arms. I wrap her in mine, kissing her forehead. I know I’m pushing my luck, but I need to do this. For her. For me. For our future life together. We’re never going to have a secret between us ever again, and I will do everything to win her over. I half expected her to hit me or at least push me away, but she stayed put, knowing I need her close.
"Inari and Selene were here. We had a heart to heart talk."
"Who’s Inari?" Mom asks just as Dad walks in the door. He looks between me and my puffy eyes, Mom’s livid face and Kiara on the floor with me in my arms.
"Inari? Isn’t she the Goddess of the foxes?" He asks, wrapping his arms around Mom. She shrugs and looks at me. Both Kiara and I nod.
"They had something to tell me. And I got a good scolding for my foolish ways with my beautiful mate. Kiara, I am sorry." She turns her head, and for the first time, her eyes don’t lose their warmth when she looks at me.
"I will forgive you, but you have to tell me what had you totally broken on the floor, when you were fine when I left an hour ago." She says, her voice pleading. I sigh.
"Well, they wanted me to know the truth about Mira and you," I tell them everything, holding on to Kiara more tightly so she won’t suddenly disappear. Mom is outraged and Dad’s eyes are dark with rage when I’m done. Kiara looks at me with wide eyes, a storm swirling in them. No one says anything after I am done, and I hold my breath. Is this the last time I get to hold my Queen in my arms? Does she think I want Mira back? That couldn’t be farther from the truth. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"So, she is not dead afterall? Should I leave? I... I... I don’t want to be in the way, Maze. I can leave." She sounds so broken, and I kiss her forehead.
"You are not going anywhere. She chose her path. I’m choosing mine. I’m choosing you." Her mouth opens, but nothing comes out. "I, Maze Gold-Moon Blue, Alpha of the Silver Moon pack and King of werewolves, accept you Kiara Black, fox shifter and daughter of Alpha Benjamin and Luna Sami Black, as my mate, Luna and Queen," I say the formal words, and I feel the bond become stronger, but it won’t be fully there until she accepts me, and we claim each other. freēwēbnovel.com
"I accept you as my Alpha and mate." She says, but her voice is hesitant. I hugged her.
"We will take this slow, Kiara. Or any tempo you need, but I needed to do this. I need you to know where I stand."
