Seeing her coming back, I smiled. I think... I just... lost... my... Heart to this female.
"You're back. Let's eat before I faint from hunger," I said, exaggerating my empty stomach's growl.
"Thank you," she said, sitting opposite me. Her voice was soft but carried an unexpected weight.
"For what?" I asked, noting the confusion in her eyes.
"Well, I am a total stranger to you, but you actually let me stay with you," Kyra replied, smiling faintly. I sensed a hidden sadness in her eyes.
"You're not a stranger," I chuckled, leaning towards her. Her pinkish lips captivated me. "Not to mention, you're going to be my mate," I added in a low voice.
Her hazel eyes widened. "What do you mean by mate with you... don't tell me you're joking because this joke wasn't funny, Lucas."
"Why would I joke, Kyra? I like you, and I want to be your mate," I said, starting to feel anxious. "Everyone already thinks we're going to be mates. You can't back off."
"Lucas, I can't—" Kyra looked at me with a mix of emotions. I reached out and held her hands as she shifted uncomfortably in her chair.
