King Caspian’s Pov
Hearing Ava say those words was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in a while. There was this look her eyes held, searching desperately. Her red lips, quivered too. Hands interlocking with mine, almost immediately.
It made me wonder…
Then I realized. From her reaction.
My mate was scared.
She was scared of me, my beast. Of my response to her.
I was quick to remove my shirt, making her wear it before anything. My instinct, to protect her, especially our pup. ?As we walked side by side, I exchanged it to mine hands wrapped around hers.
“Since when?”
“A few days after you confronted me about the fight with Lydia.” she said, sniffling in addition to those words. I could hear her heave and swallow continuously.
My brows arched at her reaction, only to see subtle tears come out her delicate eyes.
I paused in my movements, raising her chin up to face me whilst I gritted my teeth.
