Chapter 121 Kiss Me Chapter 121 Kiss Me "Halden..." Honestly, they were being so understanding that Ardenia was starting to feel guilty. * Free Coins "Ardenia, we're your mates," Halden said. "You're the heart of this family. You don't need permission for every choice you make. You're not letting anyone down, so don't think that for a second. Now go. Call for me when you're ready." With that, he pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead, then turned and headed back down the mountain with practiced ease. Ardenia watched him leave before glancing down at her wrist.
The silver wolf totem glowed softly, pulsing with a faint heat. Her heart sank as she stepped into the shadows of the cave. Inside, Vesper had heard her voice but dismissed it as a hallucination. This was Ardenia's first heat cycle. and with the pull of the totem bond, this season had been almost unbearable. It's fine. It's fine, he told himself. If you love her, you have to respect her choices. She said she isn't ready. Just hold on He lay trembling in his nest of grass until the sound of approaching footsteps grew unmistakable. Slowly, he lifted his head.
"Ardenia?" he croaked, his voice rough with disbelief. His massive, furred head rose wearily. Then her scent reached him. It really was her. But why was she here? "Yeah," she whispered. "I came to check on you." His chest tightened. She came to check on him? In this state? A surge of self-consciousness hit him, and he tried to curl into a smaller ball, pulling away from her. I'm fine. You should go back," he said, forcing a coolness into his voice. Ardenia saw through the act immediately. He sounded distant, but his voice trembled with an emotion he could barely contain.
She set the food down and spoke softly, "Vesper, Halden told me everything." She moved closer and sat beside him. The moment she did, he struggled to stand, intending to retreat deeper into the cave, but she caught his arm and gently pulled him back down. His skin was scorching, as if he were burning up with a fever. The moment she touched him, Vesper shifted back into his human form. The change made his condition even more obvious; it wasn't just his body heat-his face was flushed a deep, unnatural crimson. Ardenia was on the second day of her cycle, the peak of her scent.

No wonder he was struggling this much. She held out her arm. Her wrist was pale and slender, carrying a faint, clean scent of water and flowers. 1/3 14:22 . Thu, Jan 8 DJ Chapter 121 Kiss Me 74 +5 Free Coins Vesper's breathing turned sharp and uneven. He squeezed his eyes shut, fighting the instinct to look. Suddenly, Ardenia cupped his face with both hands. Her cool lips brushed against his, and Vesper's eyes snapped open. Panicking, he shoved her away. "No," he gasped. "You can't. If you do this for me, the others will expect the same. They'll never stop pressuring you.
I know you hate that. Thank you for coming, Ardenia, but I can handle this. Please. Just go." With that, he buried his face in the grass. You big dummy, Ardenia thought, a mix of frustration and deep affection bubbling up inside her. "They already know," she said softly. "They know I wanted to see you, and they understand. No one is forcing me. I'm here because I want to be. Are you really going to keep pushing me away?" She paused. "Or... do you blame me for this?" "I'm not!" How could he ever blame her? He looked up, eyes watery with restraint, and shook his head weakly. "I don't blame you.
I didn't mean to be like this these past few days." Ardenia reached up and gently stroked his wolf ears. Her eyes filled with apology. It was a natural, biological pull, yet because of her own cycle and her boundaries, he had been forced to endure it. It felt cruel in its own way. "I know," she whispered. Meeting her tender gaze, Vesper's entire body went limp as his last bit of resistance crumbled. Ardenia eased his head into her lap, and he gazed up at her with a look of pure longing and quiet need, basking in the comfort of her touch. He didn't say a word.
His lips were pressed tight, but the fire in his gaze burned brighter with every second. Unconsciously, his hand lifted. His fingers-long, with prominent knuckles and veins visible beneath his pale skin-brushed her wrist, his thumb grazing her skin as light as a breath. "Vesper," she murmured. "Kiss me." "What?" Vesper froze, certain he'd misheard. He looked up, his expression a mix of shock and delight, the corners of his eyes flushed a deep red with desire. Ardenia leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.
Her lips felt wonderfully cool against his feverish skin, and Vesper's gaze turned hazy. He turned into her touch, nuzzling her palm. A broken, ragged sound escaped his throat, his breath hot against her skin. "Ardenia... I feel awful..." His eyes glistened with moisture, his voice brimming with longing. He knew he could beg now; he didn't 2/3 14:22. Thu, Jan 8 D Chapter 121 Kiss Me have to hold back anymore. She guided him gently until he lay flat in the nest of grass. "I'll help you." +10 Free Coins Vesper nodded dizzily, his mind already drifting into a blur of sensation.
Her breath brushed his ear, a sensation that made his entire body go rigid. Before he could react, he felt her hand begin a slow, deliberate descent from his cheek, sliding downward... 14:22. Thu, Jan 8 D Dylan
