Chapter 154: Extinguish her hopes
Amelie took a slow step forward, her eyes locked on Valko’s majestic form. Carefully, she reached out, her hand trembling slightly, not from fear, but from the overwhelming feeling blooming in her chest.
As her palm gently met his face, Valko closed his eyes, leaning into her touch. It was a silent surrender for love that needed no words. She could feel the steady warmth radiating from him.
A soft smile spread across her lips full of wonder and affection. She leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to the side of his face, just below his eye.
"It feels dreamy, Valko," she whispered.
Valko let out a low, contented sound, his tail swaying slowly behind him.
’I wish I had a wolf too,’ she thought, hugging Valko this time. The strong musk scent made her heart thunder more.
They remained like that for a while when Gabriel changed back into his human form, his arms wrapping around her waist, taking in Amelie’s scent.
"You changed back," Amelie murmured, pulling up her face to meet his gaze.
Gabriel didn’t respond. Instead, he captured her mouth into a fierce kiss while tilting her head to one side. She had to tiptoe even though she was in her heels, reciprocating to his kiss.
She found herself landing on something soft and opened her eyes only to find they were in their room. Gabriel had teleported them. The bags in her hands lowered to the floor above the rug.
Amelie withdrew from the kiss while panting. "Wait, I need to breathe," she murmured.
