Chapter 114: Something More Important

*Theo*

I wanted to stay in this moment forever and never let it go.

She was here, in my arms.

Nothing else mattered.

And nothing else could take her from me.

She was dreaming. I could tell by the way her lips tilted. upward ever so slightly. I was just curious what she was dreaming about.

Was she back to her pack, spending time in the gorgeous garden with her parents? Or was she riding a majestic white horse to get to a valley full of delicious wild fruits?

Whatever it was, it must be a good one based on the faint smile on her face. A girl like her deserved the most beautiful dreams in the world.

No worries. No fear. No fighting.

She didn't need any of that in her dreams because she'd already fought enough for me, even when I had given up on myself. The sole reason I was even here today was because of her.

I owed her my life, my everything.

It always amazed me that a small frame like hers held so much might.

I couldn't imagine what kind of courage it would take for her to stand her ground and fight for what she believed in. She never backed down from any challenge laid before her.

Raymond, Luther, Sebastian, and me.

She had the brightest and warmest heart and it was the reason why she could defeat the darkest evil, and melt the coldest cage barring my heart.

She wiggled.

"Shhh..." I whispered, gently caressing her back.

"Um... Theo...are you awake already?" she murmured, "It's still dark outside..."

"It's still early, get some more rest."

She let out a content sigh and buried her sweet head in my arms and chest. I couldn't describe how soft my heart was seeing her drawn to me like this.

I had worn her out. A sense of contentment and pride filled my chest at the thought.

I couldn't help but lean down and kissed her cheek. She only stirred a little.

It was crazy how all those years ago we met, and when I thought I'd never see her again, she came to me again. I was never much of a believer in fate because all it had ever done for me was bring me misery, until this moment.

Every tear I shed, every drop of blood I spilled, and every nightmare I experienced were all worth it because of her.

She had changed my life, starting with just one warm smile and a half-worn bracelet.

I would never tire of touching her soft skin and feeling her body. What were the odds that the one person I loved more than anything on this earth was the only person I could touch?

Goddess and fate were generous to me.

I kissed her again softly and sighed in a whisper, "The only regret I had was that I lost the bracelet you gave me."

Her eyes were still closed and she was barely awake, but I heard her ask, "Theo... what did you say?"

I gently combed my fingers into her hair and murmured, "Nothing. You go back to sleep."

She sniffed a few deep breaths and struggled to open her eyes. She was a bit worried, "Theo... are you okay? I seemed to hear you say bracelet?"

I sighed, "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. How do you feel?"

Her eyes were fully opened now. As soon as she realized that we were naked against each other, a most adorable hint of pink climbed her cheeks.
