(Damien)
Amelia finally released the magic that she had on me and I was able to move freely. I didn't hesitate as I picked her up and carried her to the bed. I carefully placed her on it and looked down at her at her. Her eyes met mine with a softness that made my heart ache.
"You're so freaking beautiful," I said, my voice rough with emotion.
"I can't believe it took so long for me to make you my mate." A faint smile touched her lips, her hand reaching up to brush my cheek.
I took her hand, pressing a tender kiss to her fingertips before gently setting it back down on the bed. I couldn't help but let my eyes roam over her, taking in every detail, every curve that was so familiar and yet always mesmerizing.
"And I can't believe I was scared of you when I first met you. Now, I can't stop myself from loving you." My heart skipped a beat when she said that.
