The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness

- KATALEYA -

I open my eyes, yawning softly as I gaze out at the waterfall, the rising sun casting a beautiful hue over the water. Enrique is sleeping in my arms, his face nestled between my breasts, his arms tightly wrapped around my waist. 3 I blush, remembering last night. It had been so magical... so naughty... so... sinful. And he asked me to marry him!

My eyes blur with happy tears. It feels like my every dream is becoming a reality. All we need to do is to defeat the villain of our story to attain my eternal happily ever after.

I slowly untangle myself from his hold, my cheeks burning as I feel his naked body pressed against me, feeling his m*****d that is making me all horny again.

What I did last night... was so naughty.

Bad Kat.

Oh my goddess, what will Enrique be thinking of me?!

I cover my face for a moment, trying not to think of it before I get out of bed silently. I pick up one of the bamboo baskets that contain soap, shampoo, a toothbrush, other toiletries, and a towel. Whoever helped him set all this up or if this was his idea, well, they thought of everything perfectly.

I carry the basket to the end of the water, placing it down and gazing up at the waterfall that looks breathtaking.

I feel good, despite still feeling tired with an ache between my legs, albeit it's fading. We kept at it, and I do not even remember when we fell asleep. I wade into the water and begin swimming around the water.

I float on my back and gaze at the breathtaking hues in the sky.

Who would think such trouble hung over us when the beautiful sky looks so peaceful? Evil can be hidden behind the most beautiful of things.

My mind flits back to the statue of the woman in Azarakh's temple. Who was it depicting?

I stay in the water, swimming around before swimming over to the basket and get the soap and shampoo before I begin scrubbing myself. "Notice something off? You're reading stolen chapters! This book belongs to obni6.m. To support the real creator and enjoy the latest from us, visit Jobni.m directly." "Looks like you're on a site that's taken this chapter from oɓnib.om. Don't settle for less-get the real deal straight from the source. Head over to oɓnib.om now for exclusive chapters and updates." I'm almost done when Enrique suddenly sits up, looking around sharply.

"Kataleya!"

I'm about to reply when time seems to stand still at the vision before me.

He's sitting on the bed, the sun hitting his chest, making his chiselled body glow. The light reflects off his hair which looks like a glowing lighter brown under the direct sunlight.

He has one leg off the bed, the other raises with the blanket partially covering one leg, and sadly covering one of my favourite things ever. I enjoyed it so much.

Stop! Stop! Bad Kat!

He spots me and visibly relaxes, and I realise I only managed to sneak away from him because of my ability to move around undetected, but I'm glad I didn't disturb him.

"Mi Amor..." he says as he pushes the sheet off and stands up. My heart almost stops as he stands there in all his glory, his m*****d erect and ready.

Now this I like. I also like his a*s. He is the epitome of perfection and sexiness. 1

My throat dries as he makes his way over to me, and the way he walks, the way his muscles flex, making time stand still as he approaches the water and gets in, making me unable to look away. "My Love..." I murmur.

The moment I'm within reach, he pulls me into his arms. Instantly, I lock my arms around his neck before our lips collide in a deep, passionate kiss...

We returned to the pack shortly after we had cleaned up. We're going to join everyone at the packhouse for breakfast. It had been a while since both of us dined here together, and Enrique said he wanted them to feel some normalcy with everything going on. We first stop by the hospital where Rhea is still unconscious; I just hope she awakes soon.

Enrique opens the door to her hospital room and I'm glad she's not alone, as Carlos is sprawled in the chair fast asleep with empty food and drink cartons all around him.

Enrique claps his hands together, causing a loud clap. One that makes Carlos jump up and rub his eyes.

"Mira cabrón, why are you still here? I did say watch over her, but I didn't say move in entirely," Enrique remarks. 2

"Enrique, Luna! Welcome, welcome!"

"Is this your f*****g home that you're welcoming us?" Enrique remarks as Carlos gets up and fixes the chair, motioning for me to sit, but I feel sore all over again from our morning fun and don't want to sit down.

"Thank you, Carlos, but I'm ok standing." I smile at him, and he nods, sitting down.

"Well, it feels like this is my home, but I'm enjoying it. She's a good listener," he says jovially.

"Yeah, cus she can't f*****g talk, I had hoped your non-stop talking might force her awake just to beg you to stop talking, Enrique says, slapping his shoulder as Carlos gives him a dirty look and he huffs. But I can tell he's only teasing him, and Carlos knows it, too. "Well, it didn't work," Carlos says now looking at the bed.

"We'll get someone to come wash her today," I say softly as I step closer and place my hand against her mark.

"}

I close my eyes as I try to sense how she is feeling inside, just as I had somehow managed to do so before... I know I can do it.

I take a deep breath as Enrique and Carlos talk quietly.

Contentment, acceptance and determination.

I open my eyes and step back, "She's going to be alright; we will find a way," I murmur. And I know that way begins with Azarakh's demise.

"Good to know. A nurse will be here to handle her soon. Come on cabrón, go shower and come to breakfast. I need my delta there," Enrique says, making Carlos nod as he gets up. Turning to Rhea, he's about to say something, but instead, he simply grins at me and bows his head.

"I forgot she can't speak right now." He chuckles before leaving.

I lean down, kissing Rhea's forehead. She did this for me - for us.

I will make sure she comes back to us.

"Come, let's go, Mi Reina." Enrique offers me a hand. I nod as I walk around the bed and take it. Sparks dance between us as he gives me a tiny smirk. One that makes my core clench as I gaze into those dreamy hazels that will always make me so giddy! Let's go officially present this pack with its luna."

My eyes widen. "N-now?"

"Yes, it's high time the pack meets its proper luna, and I can't think of a better time than when we are surrounded by food."

I giggle. "I agree... I have a request; would it be ok if I had my dad and a few of my loved ones on a video call when you announce it?" I ask shyly, although I feel nervous thinking about Dad's reaction.

A cocky smirk crosses Enrique's plump lips. "Of course, the more the merrier, and I'm sure I will enjoy the Lycan's reaction when he realises I'm keeping you here for good." 1

I blush happily at the thought of being by his side for good, but then my eyes widen, and I stare at him as we walk out of the hospital and into the sunshine.

"Oh, imagine Dad's reaction. Are we announcing our engagement, too?" I ask, now beginning to worry about Dad's stress

levels.

"Of course." "You're missing out! This book was meant for oɓnib.om, but if you're reading it elsewhere, it's a copy. Get the real experience at оnib.Дom, where all our original chapters are shared first." The smirk remains as he looks at me with absolute confidence, and I silently apologise to Dad for the stress I'm about to give him.

"Then let's go. Mi Reina needs to eat after that morning workout." He purrs huskily as he lifts me bridal style, making me gasp.

"Kiké!"

He simply kisses my lips, carrying me towards the packhouse. I lock my arms around his neck, resting my head against his neck as I smile happily.

My perfect Alpha.
