Chapter 192
Xade’s pov
I had planned out everything in my mind when I ran through the woods to get back here. But as I stare at her teary eyes, everything I recited in my head plenty of times disappears.
She looks so beautiful, like a siren. My own little siren.
She deserves all the right words, she deserves everything I felt in my heart. My throat is scratchy and throbbing as I get emotional. She had dreamt of this, told me about it years ago. Always prayed for the right guy.
And as I go back down memory lane, I can see her with the windows down in my car, the wind blowing as the sunset light gleams behind her, making her blonde hair look so gold. An angel. I can remember that look in her eyes when she smiled and said she couldn’t wait to get married to the love of her life while listening to this very song.
My heart had clenched painfully, pained that the love of her life would not have been me.
But now as I re-picture her eyes, I can see it now. I can see it. I can fucking see it. She had hoped it would be me. She wanted it to be just as bad as I wanted it to be me.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
And tonight.
I am making it me.
My hands tremble slightly as I clutch the tiny velvet box, the nerves building in my body. My wolf yapped for me to hurry and please our mate, but I wanted this to be special enough to steady my racing nervous thoughts.
I opened the box, revealing the ring I just bought not too long ago. Her eyes fell to it and they teared up even more.
“Xade,” she whispers, a lone tear slipping from her eye and I am itching to wipe it away and pull her in my arms.
I took in a deep breath, my tongue growing heavy with fright that I would say all the wrong things, but then I realize, this was Avery. The woman I love, the woman who I grew up with and even though I kept the secret of being a werewolf from her, she was still my Avery.
All I need to do is tell her everything from my heart.
I swallowed and then began to speak. “From the moment my eyes fell on you for the first time years ago I knew you would be in my life forever. At that time I didn’t know how much and didn’t know the depth of how much one can love another so deeply at such a young age,”
I watch her eyes glisten with more tears, a shaky breath leaving her throat, The sparkling glow of the fire brightens her face and my breath hitches. Perfect. She was absolutely perfect.
“But you surprised me Avery,” I continue, now not even sure where to go about this but letting my heart speak for me.” You surprised me with how much I can love you,” I swallow. “So much that I could not see my life without you. I could not even breathe if I ever thought of you leaving me.”
Her lower lip trembles just as my voice trembles. “My heart belonged to you. From our first encounter, our first kiss, our first time, until now, and until even more. You will always have my heart. I love you Avery,”
She hiccups as she cries silently, stepping closer as she stares at me with so much emotion in her eyes, that I almost forgot how to speak. I try to catch my breath. ” With everything in me. I love you.”
Avery,” my voice breaks with emotion as my throat tightens. marry me and make me the happiest werewolf alive?”
Will you
Tears stream down her face, as she nods eagerly. “Yes! Oh yes!” She pushes out her hand, giggling as I enthusiastically place the ring on her finger, laughing happily and rising to pull her flush against me and lift her feet off the ground. She laughs heartily.
“With everything in me I love you too Xade,” she breathe and smashes her lips on mine.
