Chapter 39 THE CONFESSION
39 THE CONFESSION
She didn't object his kiss on her forehead or the way he touched her, because she felt safe with him, and subconsciously she was fond of their interaction.
The way Torak made her feel special or his protectiveness, no one ever had done that to her and to her surprise, the fact that he was a Lycan didn't matter to her even a bit.
[But, why? We just met.] Raine showed the iPad and looked at him with inexplicable gaze.
Torak leaned his back against the headboard and pulled Raine with him, so she was laying on his chest. The girl stunned, but didn't brush him off, instead she was quietly listening to his heartbeat, and her hand clutched his clothes while Torak caressed her disheveled hair.
"We, Lycans, have different values in relationship than humans and all of those values center on our mate…"
Torak continued his explanation about how all the Lycans cherished their mate and how painful it was when their other half was getting hurt, so it was almost impossible for Lycans to harm their own mate.
While Torakexplained all the things that could be some answers to her questions, Raine rested her chin on his chest and looked at him adorably. Sometime, surprise flashed in her bright eyes or confusion, while in some other seconds, her brows would knitted together or she would pursed her lips.
Torak undoubtedly enjoyed the scene of what he saw.
At the end of the explanation, Raine pointed herself with questioning eyes as though she was asking if she was his mate.
"Yes, My love. You are my mate."Torak's voice was so tender and his expression softened when he said those words.
Upon hearing that, Raine's cheeks flushed with crimson color, she didn't know why she blushed, but his words warmed her heart.
"I love all of you…"Torak said solemnly, the words were genuine and sounded so pure in Raine's ears.
She shook her head after she looked at him in dazed for quite long while and sat up. Torak frowned and straightened up his back as well.
Did my words scare her? He was questioning himself.
It was the first time Torak questioned his words and action. Initially, he didn't want to rush her, but he wouldn't lie about what he felt about her.
Raine wrote something on the iPad and showed it to him with anxious face.
[Idon't know what I feel about you.]
Upon reading them, Torak chuckled and cradled her worried expression in his palms. "I know it's too soon for you and you are not ready for this yet, but you don't have any idea how long I have been waiting for you, my love."
But, now she was here and nothing he wanted more except being close to her.
"I am saying that only to let you know, you are the most precious person to me."
==============
It had been four days since Raine came to the mansion and Torak had been very busyever since his confession on that faithful afternoon.
Sometimes he would leave her for one or two hours with Raphael or Calleb, but sometimes the two of them would bring the reports or documents that he needed to sign to him.
During that moment, most of Raine's time would bespent inside the library. Apparently he had his own library in his floor with rows and rows shelves full of book, and Torak would keep her accompany while finishing his own matter.
Today, Torak had gone somewhere with Raphael, and Calleb was assigned to baby sit her. The Gamma was a funny guy and Raine had become accustomed to his presence.
Since Raine was there, she had just met with Raphael and Calleb, besides Torak of course.
But, today someone was coming.
Raine was watching the childrenwho were playing in the meadow, when someone suddenly burst in from the door. There was this door that led to the floor below them, Torak didn't forbid her to roam around the mansion, but the thought of she would bump into otherpeople who she wasn't familiar with, didn't interested her at all.
Upon hearing the sudden clamorous sound, Raine ran towards Calleb and out of instinct she hid behind his back.
A middle aged woman in her early forty appeared from behind the door and instantly her almond shaped eyes scoured the room, she proclaimed loudly when she found Raine behind Calleb's back.
"There you are!"
