“He did not accept my rejection,” she gulped and looked him in the eye.
“Where is he now?” The Northern King gritted his teeth, already planning how he would K*ll that man. “I am sure I can help him to find the right words.”
“That’s the thing, Kai,” Savannah sighed. “He is here. Zack Morgan, the werewolf who is your important guest now, is my mate.”
It all hit Kai at once. Of course! He knew that this man was the traitor in the West. He should have guessed when she first mentioned the betrayal. He felt like an i***t for welcoming this basterd into his house, for parading him in front of Savannah and asking her to tolerate him. But he also experienced an irresistible wave of jealousy toward her.
He thought that Savannah and her mate mutually rejected each other, secretly hoping the guy had already been dead. Yet here he was. The man who technically had more rights to her than he did. And he hated that fact alone. Something dark was growing inside him at the simple thought that Zack could still be thinking of exercising his rights.
He clenched the silly necklace in his palm, feeling now that it wasn’t enough. “Elene,” he mind linked his sister. “Where are you?!” she demanded at once. “We ….”
“Out,” he cut her off as he wasn’t ready for a heart-to-heart conversation with his sibling now of all times. “I need Zack Morgan held in his room until I get back. He cannot leave. If he tries, you can use f0rce. Just keep him there and alive.”
Kai, what is.” Elene wanted to ask something else, but he closed the link, knowing that just an order would be enough.
His attention got back to Savannah, and he noticed that her eyes glistened with a few tears threatening to fall down her cheeks at any moment. He had been silent since her important confession, and she could have taken it wrong.
“Savvy,” he tried to find the right words to rea*s*sure her.
“It’s okay,” she wiped her eyes quickly, pretending that it was nothing. “Whatever you decide is okay. I had to tell you. That’s all, so, if you changed your mind ….”
“Changed my mind?” A nervous laugh escaped him as he cupped her chin, making the western princess look at him. “Changed my mind, Savvy? I am in love with you. So is my wolf. We have never experienced this, and I know only one thing. Changing my mind about making you mine is definitely not an option for me.”
“We barely know each other,” she protested weakly, more tears streaming down her cheeks to her own surprise.
“Who cares when it feels so right?!” he chuckled, inclining towards her. “When I want only you … when I choose you ….”
He covered her lips with his in a greedy possessive k*iss which was like staking his claim on her. He would K*ll for that woman; he would wage war for her if he had to. She was his from the moment they met, and he wouldn’t have this any other way. He knew that now. He had known that for a while…
“Kai,” she whispered when they broke their k*iss and rested their foreheads on each other.
“Do you choose me, Savannah?” he asked, embarra*s*sed at his own trembling voice. His whole body was shaking because he needed to hear her answer on a physical level. He knew that this was the moment she could make him the happiest man alive or break him beyond repair. “Do you agree to be mine? My Luna, my Queen, my chosen mate?”
She looked him in the eye just for a few seconds, but it seemed like forever to him.
“I will spend all my winters with you, Kai Fionnlagh,” she smiled through tears, and he felt as if a heavy weight was lifted off his ch3st. “I choose you too. Now and forever… I love you too.”
He got the necklace to her neck again, trying to control himself as all that he wanted now was to devour her here and now. Savvy turned her back to him and lifted her hair to give him better access.
When he was done, and she turned back to him, he had to admit that the North Star looked beautiful on her neck. It looked as if it always belonged there.
“Come here!” He pulled her back into his warm embrace, and they both started watching the beautiful snowflakes dancing and curling in the frosty air. Slowly, the tops of the trees, the roofs of the castle towers and the towns below were powdered with white crispy shimmering snow.
Savannah noticed many lights on now, although it was the middle of the night and realized that these were other couples greeting the First Snow together and making promises to each other.
It seemed like they spent hours like this, Savvy on Kai’s lap, leaning over his broad chest and enjoying his hands wrapped tightly around her. He was k*issing the top of her head from time to time, and this meant more to her than any words he could say.
She noticed how a thick white blanket covered everything around them.
“There is so much snow,” she raised her hand to catch a few beautiful snowflakes. “How are we going back down these narrow mountain roads?”
“Go back?” she heard the king snort. “Savvy, travelling down these roads is impossible during snow, and a blizzard is about to come in less than an hour. I am afraid we are going to be stuck here for days.”
Savannah’s lips parted in shock…
Kai, what were you thinking?” Savvy yelped helplessly. “Days? We are going to be stuck in a cave for days?!”
“You sound so scared!” he chuckled, brushing his fingers over her legs and lifting the fabric of the dress slightly higher.
“Scared isn’t the right word for what I feel,” she ran her hand over her face. “It’s a cave! There is no food, no water, no place to sleep! What are we going to do?”
“Oh, about that,” he moved her off his lap. “There are actually a lot of things to do here. Follow me.”
He walked away into the darkness, and Savvy grabbed the lantern, trying to catch up with him.
He turned in a different direction from which they originally came from, and Savvy gasped when in just under a minute, they walked out into what looked like a much bigger cave, the bottom of which was filled with beautiful teal water that seemed to glow delicately.
Vaults and arches of stone resembling marble surrounded them, high, beautiful and majestic. It would be impossible if a man wanted to create something like that. Only the f0rce of nature was capable of such a masterpiece. Savannah had never seen anything like it.
The water shimmered softly in the light that came from the ceiling. This was another thing that amazed the princess. The top of the cave was peppered with glowing crystals. They gleamed in the darkness, creating an ethereal atmosphere around them.
“What is this place?” she turned to look at kai at last and lost the ability to speak as the King was already Str!pping himself, throwing his clothes to the ground.
“This is a place where no one else can get,” he said with a smirk, enjoying her reaction to his body. “The Sacred Northern Mountain Springs.”
He didn’t explain anything anymore and just jumped into the crystal-clear water, creating waves around himself.
Savannah carefully placed the lantern on one of the rocks and watched him swim for a while. Werewolves usually didn’t like swimming too much, but Kai seemed confident in his sK*lls. And also, he was showing off before her, which made her grin at him.
“Care to join me?” he asked when he swam closer to the shore after a while. “Or maybe the Western Princess doesn’t know how to swim? No worries then, I can teach you. I am an excellent teacher.”
