Chapter 28 Lune Festival - Part Il

• There was something there that wasn’t there before. I suddenly wasn’t scared, anxious of the untold future. I felt warm, protected, and cared for just in his presence. None of the things that were keeping me awake at nights were crossing my mind. I was just savoring the moment, the close proximity of him. He wasn’t physically closer to me but perhaps spiritually? He stood at a distance caressing a white horse. There were a few more behind it minding their own business but this one looked content with the attention Erdem was showering it with. It was also the very first time I witnessed a horse getting that close to a werewolf. There was just something there, I couldn’t wrap my head around. But I know I will be cherishing this moment till I take my last breath. I return my attention to the White Crape Myrtle tree in front of me. I carefully picked all the flowers in my reach but those were not close to being enough. I looked up at the flowers just barely out of my reach. Argh!
• This are the situations where I couldn’t help but curse my height. I groaned in frustration as I stood on the tip of my toes and tried to reach the flowers. I was growing more and more frustrated.
• “Argh! For Goddesses’ sake!” I muttered and to my surprise, the tree branch slowly came down in my reach. A shadow fell over me covering the sun ray and I looked up to my right. There he stood, the mighty Alpha, holding down the tree branch for me, staring down at me with his intense blue eyes. But the intensity wasn’t cold or harsh. I could feel my heartbeat quicken as I took my eyes off of him and started picking the flowers I needed.
