Chapter 28: Bad mom...
Selene POV
I ran a finger around the diamond-studded engagement ring on the third finger of my left hand and sighed, looking out of the window.
I didn’t know how to feel about accepting Noah’s proposal. First, it had come suddenly and I couldn’t reject it either. The sincere way his eyes had shone made it difficult for me to say no.
Still, Noah was a good man and since I still had a lot of reservations about my mate, I decided settling with Noah was a better option. Until now, I didn’t know how much the girls needed the presence of a male in their lives and I also know Noah was crazy about the girls.
"Hey," Noah said quietly, reaching for my hand while giving me a tender look. "Are you alright?" he asked.
"Yeah," I nodded, smiling at him. "I’m just tired,".
"We’ll be home soon," he whispered, raising my hand to his lips as he pressed tender, light kisses at the back of my hand.
Last night, it had taken a lot of intervention from both the girls and a little pleading from my end for Noah to keep his hands off my body. It is common for a Werewolf to want to mate with his mate once he engages her or smells her out, so I wasn’t surprised when Noah made passes at me.
Despite my lame excuses, he had agreed to take things at my pace, but I knew it wouldn’t be for long.
"I can’t wait to be back," I said warmly, returning his smile.
The girls were strapped in at the back of the car, and Maeve had been refusing to speak to anyone since yesterday. All efforts by her sister and Noah to make her talk had proven abortive.
