I could hear his heart beat no longer loud, his eyes not as wide as before. But, his face was casted downwards, almost as if he were ashamed of what happened. I could see his shoulders drop down, disappointment on his face.

Reluctantly reaching for his pocket, he pulls out his notepad and writes, 'Ever since I overthrew my mother.'

My heart clenched painfully, eyes open in sorrow. "Kronos... I'm sorry this happened to you. I promise you, I'll be here with you every step of the way."

Kronos frowned, as if he didn't believe me. He quickly wrote on his notepad. 'Are you positive? You won't leave like everyone else... will you?'

I was taken aback of what he wrote.

Has everyone that approached him leave him? Gave him false hope? My heart throbbed, pain spreading through my chest as I imagined the hardship he went through. I couldn't imagine what it was like to finally feel safe again only for people to leave you alone. Like nothing happened.

"I promise... I will never leave you. You're mine and I am yours. Honestly, I don't think I can ever part with you. Not at this time." I said, blushing.

Kronos, who was staring at me intently now had his mouth open. I giggled, using my forefinger to push his chin back up to close his mouth. However, feeling embarrassed and at the sparks that exploded when I touched him, I quickly changed the subject.

"On the bright side, you did great when you did the breathing exercise with me. I'm so proud of you."

His mood changed instantly, a small blush on his cheeks.

I'm assuming that he was never complimented that much ever since he was 14 years old.

I can't imagine living as a kid one day and having everything you wanted in the world, only to have it taken away in one single second.

Rain whimpered, hating to know such cruelty fell on our mate.

Smiling, I stood up and sat next to him on my bed. His figure froze from how close we were, but he eventually stopped being tense and looked straight at me.

My god, he was so fucking hot.

Rain suggested, panting in a horny growl.

I resisted from rolling my eyes at my wolf. Why did I have to get a wolf that couldn't keep her legs closed? Then again, I couldn't blame her because our mate was super sexy.

Puffing our a breath, I changed the subject as I remembered what happened previously.

Frowning, I asked, "Is your head okay? Macy didn't injure you that badly, did she?"

He seems surprised at my question, but shakes his head, indicating that she didn't do much damage. I let out a sigh of relief at his answer. I'd hate for him to be more hurt than what his mother has done.

Curious, I questioned, "What do you want to do about Macy?"

Before Kronos could write an answer down, someone else answered.

"Please, punish me, Alpha." A voice cut in.

Say what now?

Rain said, pacing back and forth in rage.

Jesus Christ, someone get the wheel.

We both snapped our heads to the door. Macy was leaning against my door in a guilt manner, one of her hands around her throat as she tried to soothe down the pain. Serves her right, no one touches my man without a consequence.

Kronos looked at me, nodding. Slowly, he reached over and squeezed my hand. This warmed my heart, making me smile.

I took this as how he wanted me to determine Macy's punishment.

Seeing Kronos's reaction, she turns to me, awaiting for my response.

Honestly, a part of me wanted to exile her and never have her step foot on pack lands again. But this was just a warning as I haven't had a ceremony to become a Luna just yet. Plus, others might see that I'm just being jealous of Macy. It doesn't matter what she did, because others will have an opinion about it on the outside. They might oppose of me becoming Luna, as someone who is 'jealous' is unfit to rule beside their alpha.

Giving in, I glared at Macy but my gaze softened. "We'll excuse you, Macy. Although we do not get along, I can't imagine how you feel right now. Just don't let it happen again, because next time..." I paused, glaring at her. "I will not be easy on you."

Macy had tears in the corners of her eyes, weeping in a thankful and sorry attitude. "Yes... thank you, alpha, Luna. As long as I live, I will never cross the line again."

Only took her to get her ass beat to shut up fully, huh? All bark and no bite.

Rain said, frowning.

Macy bowed once more to Kronos and I, before walking away with her head casted down. After she left, I closed the door so Kronos and I could have some real privacy.

We fell into a peaceful silence, as we once again got to know each other more. He would make silly faces and I would laugh.

Finally, after a few hours of fun, and getting to know each other more, it was almost 11:30pm when Kronos wrote on his notepad, 'Do you want to sleep with me?'

I flushed crimson, my face scrunched, "S-Sleep with you? As in you put your d-"

Kronos soon blushed as well, and put his hands up in a frantic manner. He wrote down, 'No! I mean sleep next to me so we don't feel lonely at these nights anymore.'

My heart calmed, feeling stupid for assuming such a thing, "Yes, I would love that."

He still blushed and stood up from my temporary bed, showing the words he quickly wrote down, 'Then maybe you can move into my room?'

"HELL YES!" I blurted out.

Rain grumbled, her paws covering her eyes.

'Well, what was I supposed to do? Just say sure and play it off cool?' I replied, offended.

Rain huffed, cutting the link.

Focusing back at the task at hand, I noticed Kronos's stare.

Kronos blinked.

I cleared my throat, "I mean, sure! I'd thought you never ask."

He smiled, and held in a laugh.

We left my bedroom when he wrote down that we'd bring in my stuff the next morning.

Finally, we were making process on being mates.

Well, not that we weren't already, but I'm glad we were taking steps in getting closer.
