Beneath the surface: Forbidden love

Kael

It had been almost a full day and Marisela still hasn't woken up. After I marked her, the power that flowed through her veins from our bond was too much for her body to take in. If I had known her body couldn't take my mark just yet, I wouldn't have suggested it in the first place.

This is all my fault.

As I watch her sleeping figure lay helplessly beside me, I took my time appreciating her beauty. Goddess there was not enough words in the world to describe her beauty. Her white hair, sat in long curly strands down her shoulders. I couldn't help myself when my fingers began to play with a strand of her hair.

Her eyes were a mesmerizing shade of gray, like a stormy sea at twilight, deep and mysterious. In their silvery depths, I found myself lost, drawn into a world of enigma and allure. When she gazed at me, it was as if time stood still, and I was the sole captain navigating the uncharted waters of her soul. Those gray eyes held a overwhelming depth of passion, like a novel waiting to be explored with every glance, every stolen moment. In them, I found a world where words were unnecessary, for her eyes told a story without words. And how much I missed staring into them.

Wake up, princess.

My wolf was content that finally our mate wore our mark, but we were both worried that she hasn't woken up yet. When she passed out, I panicked, I immediately called the pack doctor. It took him minutes for him to arrive at my bedroom door. He was surprised to know that we hadn't completed the mating process. When he saw my mark he assumed that Marisela and I have already completed the mating process, but to his surprise, we may have jumped ahead.

That wasn't the best idea.

According to the doctor, that only made things much worse for her. I wasn't sure of what I would say to her when she wakes up.

In the heat of the decision, I thought that because of Marisela's supernatural genes that she could uphold the power of our bond, but I was badly mistaken. It's because of my own doings that my mate lay helplessly on the bed, while I wait patiently for her to wake up.

I know when she wakes up she's gonna think that everything will be fine, now that she has my mark. But that's far from the truth.

Because the princess is wearing my mark, and we have not yet mated, the mark is only going to force her body to complete the process as soon as possible. The doctor said that she will be fine for a few days, which will hopefully give her time to accept what needs to be done.

Believe me, all I've ever wanted my entire life was her. And now that I finally have her, there's all these obstacles in the way, that's bringing us further apart from each other.

I told myself, that when she wakes up, I'm going to make things right with her. I have to. She's my entire lifeline. I don't know what I would do without her.

I love her.

I've loved her from the moment I saw her all those years ago. But I couldn't tell her that, at least not now. I know she isn't ready to hear those words. As much as it breaks my heart to even think this, I'm quite certain that the princess doesn't love me just yet. How can she though?

All I've ever done since she has been here is push her away.

That's going to change. It has to.

She just has to wake up first.
