Chapter 338: Love you in all the forms
"Magnus, I-I am sorry," Alora stammered, rushing towards him. She moved with such speed that she reached him in less than a second, her vampire agility far surpassing that of others.
Her hand grasped his arm, and she looked up at him with a mix of anxiety and remorse. "Did I hurt you badly?" Her voice was soft and filled with concern as she gently caressed his arm.
Tobias and Selvina, who had been watching from a distance, stared at Alora in disbelief, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before them.
Magnus, ignoring their astonished gazes, cupped Alora’s face in his hands and leaned in, capturing her lips with his. Her eyes widened in surprise, and her hands, which had been resting on his arms, clenched instinctively. Despite her initial shock, she closed her eyes, surrendering to the unexpected kiss.
Tobias and Selvina exchanged glances and then lowered their heads, smiling to themselves at the tender moment.
Reluctantly, Alora pulled away, her breath coming in short gasps. In a hushed whisper, she began to protest, "What are you doing? We have–" But before she could finish, Magnus drew her back to him, his lips finding hers once more.
"Ignore them," he murmured against her mouth, nibbling gently on her lips. The words felt inadequate to convey the depth of his longing, the way his heart had felt revived at her touch. He was joyous, overwhelmed by emotions he couldn’t fully articulate.
"Magnus! Did Alora really—" Izaak’s voice cut through the moment, his sudden halt and wide-eyed stare directed at the sight of them kissing, oblivious to the broken bed behind them.
"Leave these two," Izaak commanded Tobias and Selvina, motioning for them to follow him out of the chamber. They hesitated briefly before complying, casting curious glances back as they closed the doors behind them.
