Chapter 20 Friendly Quarrel, part1

  Blake

  I was unable to stay asleep for most of the night. Selene kept stirring and talking in her sleep. How can someone become such a big part of your life, to an extent that you want to do everything in your power to protect them? She means so much to me. It makes me cringe at the thought she may be in any danger, or she'd get hurt.

  Even when I treat her like shit, even when I'm acting like an asshole with her, she shows me compassion and love. She has taught me to be calm, to quiet the storm in me, when I feel like running out and ripping everybody's head off.

  She turns her body close to me, her hair partially covering her face. I run my fingers softly through her hair, making her sigh as she feels my hand caressing her softly, tucking a loose strand behind her ear.

  My mind wanders off to the first day I realized she was the one I wanted as a mate. I begged the moon goddess for her, every night since then.
