Chapter 36
Chapter 36. Tell Me What Happ…
Riannon couldn’t believe her own happiness when she opened her eyes and saw him lying in front of her and watching her.
Amate. She had a mate. A real one. Not a chosen one. A smile curled onto his lips and she reciprocated it. There were no regrets. Whatsoever.
This was very different from what she had with Brayden back in the day. Now that she thought about it, if this was what Brayden felt when he met his own mate, she could
understand why he couldn’t reject Roxanne.
- She would never reject Gideon if she knew.
.
.
This did not cancel all the horrible things that Roxy did to her and to others in their power struggle. But she could understand now.
Partially.
This was not changing her plan. But it gave her some understanding. “Onyx,” she called her wolf, “Are you there?” At first, all she heard was silence. But then the familiar voice sounded in her head.
“I will be soon…”
She tried calling her again, asking what was going on. But Onyx spoke no more.
However, this was better than nothing. This was a promise. And just knowing that her wolf didn’t abandon her made Riannon smile wider.
The motion did not go unnoticed. Gideon pulled her closer. So that her head was now
tucked into his chest, and he was able to dig his face into her hair and breathe in her scent that
he loved so much was able to enjoy for the first time.
“I can’t believe this is real,” he muttered, “From the moment I saw you… I dreamt of this. of holding you like this, of having you as mine.”
She looked up at his handsome face and slid her hand to brush his cheek with a short stubble that prickled her fingers slightly.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” She asked. “Would you believe me if I simply told you?” He arched his brow at her.
“I guess not,” she admitted honestly. She had too much on her plate to simply believe some lycan who approached her out of the blue insisting that she was his mate: Even if he was a king. Not to mention that Onyx, the little hyena, never told her that they were mates on the rare moments she spoke to her. She couldn’t believe her wolf would waste her strength to tell
everything
On the other hand, Onyx was smarter than regular wolves. Ria always knew that. She proved it to her many times. And to be honest, maybe it was for the best that she did not throw them into a situation where Riannon knew that he was her mate from the very beginning yet
did not feel the connection. In that way, Gideon had to work for it and earn her trust.
Yes, that wolf of hers wasn’t simple at all. She took a bet and look at where it got them…
“Yesterday,” he traced his fingers over her bare hand, “You said the word. You called me Mate. How did you know?”
“Onyx called you that,” Ria decided to confess. Now that they were together, she did not want secrets from him. It was hard starting to trust the new man in her life but what they had was so much different from what she experienced before.
It was bigger. And better. And so special. Everything one could wish for.
“Is Onyx back?” Gideon asked with hope in his voice. They were already together but he would still feel much better if he knew that the wolf was there.
“Partially,” Ria gave him a vague smile, “I feel her presence somewhere there inside of my soul but she is not at full strength yet. I think she is trying to restore after.”
She stopped talking and he suddenly got serious. This was not a joke to him at all. He knew about a few people who had lost their wolves. He started reading about them when he found out about Onyx’s absence. This was rare. But it did happen several times in shifter’s common history.
