Morning Hug

When Lulla woke up the next day, the girl felt dazed as she looked around her. Lulla only remembered that she was on her way home with Ullric when a heavy sleepiness suddenly struck her. Looking at her state now, it seemed that Ullric had brought her back, and she continued to fall asleep after that. However, Lulla was a little incredulous when she saw that she had missed a meal by continuing to sleep all day yesterday.

When Lulla's gaze dropped, the girl could see that the man she had been with all day yesterday was sleeping in an uncomfortable position. The man was sitting on the cold floor, with his fingers lightly touching Lulla's hand. From his position, it seemed Ullric did not want to be separated from her. Yet, at the same time, the man was trying to put some distance between them. Ullric seemed to be trying not to look too clingy, even though Lulla had no longer forbidden the man to approach her.

When Lulla saw Ullric's peaceful face while sleeping, the girl involuntarily smiled a small smile. Lulla had never understood why the other pack members always seemed happy after they met their respective mates. But after Lulla met Ullric, she seemed to understand a little better.

The existence of a mate made werewolves feel loved. No matter how difficult their lives were before, knowing that someone was there to be with you forever must have felt very good.

While lost in her own thoughts, Lulla unconsciously touched Ullric's face lightly. The more Lulla looked, the more the girl realized that Ullric was very handsome. Unlike his eldest brother, who had ice-like good looks, Ullric looked so handsome because of his alluring wild aura. Anyone could see that Ullric looked very strong and reliable just from his appearance alone. And such a man, was actually the mate of a half-witch girl like her.

"Does seeing my face make you happy, Lulla?"

Nothing could describe how surprised and embarrassed Lulla was when she was caught watching Ullric's sleeping face. The girl reflexively tried to back away from Ullric. But thanks to Ullric's amazing reflexes, Lulla's hand was already caught before the girl could do anything.

"Good morning Lulla. Did you sleep well?"

Lulla could feel that her face was heating up as she saw the gentle smile on Ullric's face. The girl tried to keep herself calm as she answered Ullric's question with a furrowed brow.

"Why are you in my room? I ... I don't remember ever allowing you to sleep in this room."

When those words came out of Lulla's mouth, the girl almost cursed herself for saying an unnecessary extra sentence. No, what she wanted to say was not that. She did not object to Ullric accompanying her to sleep. Right now, the Lulla was actually just feeling ... embarrased.

She was embarrassed, thus unconsciously uttering her usual venomous sentence.

When Lulla saw Ullric's face turn glum after hearing her words, the girl began to feel even more guilty. Their relationship had just improved yesterday. Lulla didn't want Ullric to distance himself from her again after this.

"I'm sorry. I just ... I suddenly feel like I don't want to be separated from you anymore."

Lulla could feel that Ullric's grip on her hand tightened slightly as the man spoke with a dark expression. Lulla could clearly feel the anxiety in Ullric's words. Now, the girl felt confused. Their activities had obviously ended well yesterday. Lulla could not find a reason why Ullric suddenly looked anxious about his current situation.

In the end, Lulla tried to get rid of her embarrassment, then took the initiative to touch Ullric's cheek with her own hand.

"Hey, did something happen?" asked Lulla in a soft voice. Lulla still did not look away as Ullric raised his head to look directly into her eyes. The man was silent for a long time, before he suddenly pulled Lulla into his arms.

"Lulla, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will make sure that we stay together forever. Live for me, Lulla. Please ... please never disappear from my sight."

Although Lulla did not understand why Ullric was suddenly this anxious, the girl knew that calming Ullric was her priority at the moment. Lulla hugged Ullric back tightly, before she spoke in a slightly softened voice next to the man's ear.

"I can't make any promises about never being out of your sight or agree with your willingness to sacrifice your life if it's for my own good. But Ullric, I can promise that I won't go anywhere. The Silver Pack is my home, and you are here with me. Besides being here, where else would I go?"

Despite Lulla's attempts to calm him down, Ullric still seemed dissatisfied with Lulla's answer. Without Lulla realizing it, Ullric's eyes darkened for a moment before he buried his head into Lulla's freely exposed shoulder.

"You are mine, Lulla," Ullric whispered softly. The whisper was too low for Lulla to hear, so the girl only knew that Ullric had suddenly brought his face closer to her uncovered shoulder. Lulla flinched slightly when she felt Ullric's breath on her sensitive spot. The girl felt a strange feeling when Ullric did that. Her cheeks felt even hotter while her mind began to be muddled by Ullric's intimate actions.

The girl was almost lost in Ullric's arms, if only the sound of the door knocking had not interrupted their intimacy.

"Lulla, is Ullric in your room? Someone has come to look for him at this time."

After Lulla heard Frans' voice, the girl reflexively broke their embrace. Lulla subconsciously ignored Ullric, who frowned slightly, as she hurried towards the door to let her brother into her room.

"He, he is here."

When Lulla came out of the room with a flushed face, Frans began to raise his eyebrows slightly. Since the door had been opened wide by Lulla, Frans could see a sour-faced Ullric near Lulla's bed. Frans was a little pensive as he quietly looked at Lulla and then back at Ullric.

"It's not what you think it is, Brother!"

When Lulla saw that her brother was acting a little strange, the girl immediately tried to explain the situation to Frans. Seeing Lulla trying so hard to explain that everything was just a misunderstanding was actually quite comforting to Frans. But when the man remembered his purpose of looking for Ullric and the strangers who were now waiting on the first floor, Frans finally let out a long sigh and focused his attention on Ullric, who looked back at him with a deep gaze.

"Ullric, someone claiming to be a member of your old pack has come to look for you," Frans said at last.
