“Elijah….”
Left her mouth in a low painful tone but she didn’t get to speak another word as Elijah turned around and crashed his lips on hers for a passionate kiss.
He held the back of her head and his other hand went to her waist, pulling her towards him.
Rose’s hand held the collar of his suit tightly like she wanted to tear his suit apart which was coming in between them.
Both of their lips were moving perfectly in sync like they were lock and key, made to fit only with each other.
He nibbled on her lower lip and murmured, “I missed you”
His voice was low and breathless but Rose heard it perfectly clear.
A tear fell from Rose’s eyes as she herself missed him more than anything. He left for a day but it felt like an eternity to her. She wanted to see him so bad. To kiss his luscious kissable lips, to feel his warm embrace. She never fell for someone so strongly, ever!
The kiss was passionate, showcasing their emotions perfectly. Elijah bit her lower lip and Rose gasped in response. He nibbled on it to ease the pain before he inserted his giant tongue inside her mouth.
In a fraction of seconds, his tongue was exploring each and every part of her mouth. He couldn’t deny she tasted heavenly and he was addicted to it. He was craving for her the moment his eyes fell on her.
He didn’t want to leave her here. He wanted to be with her all the time.
Rose, on the other hand, tried to dominate him in the battle of their tongue but Elijah was ready to lose the battle in his own territory.
They were kissing each other like the world was ending tomorrow. None of them were ready to give up or move away.
Elijah remembered Rose was still human and had not changed, the oxygen depletion can be really hazardous for her as she does not have a hyper active healing system like his.
Thinking that, he tried to move away a little but Rose erased the distance between their lips again. Kissing him like she will die if they ever break that kiss.
Elijah kissed her back almost immediately. He was a bit surprised when she moved forward on her own.
Their bodies were tightly pressed with each other, there was not even a tiny bit of space for air to pass between them.
Elijah let her lead the kiss as she was craving for it. Her hands went to the back of his head as she deepened the kiss. She fought another battle with his tongue and this time, he let her win because there is nothing, he won’t give to her.
In the meantime, Elijah’s hand went to the back of her body, he just gently caressed her back. The movements of his hands were slow and gentle, taking her to heaven. She moaned while drowning deep down in ecstasy.
They kissed each other for another minute which felt like hours, before they parted as their lungs were burning because of oxygen depletion.
Both of them were panting hard. Their chests were heaving up and down.
Rose’s hands were still on his shoulders while Elijah’s hands were still on her waist. As soon as they parted, she rested her forehead on his chest listening to the melodic sound of his heartbeat.
“I missed you” Her voice was barely a whisper but that was enough for Elijah.
Elijah was back to normal within a minute but Rose needed time. Elijah held her in his warm embrace, not letting her move a centimeter away from him.
As Rose composed herself, she parted from him and looked deep in his royal blue eyes. Her cheek turned pink when he smiled at her. She looked away with a shy smile and Elijah kept a fallen strand of her hair behind her ear.
“I am willing to give you all the time you want in the world but please just trust me” Elijah pleaded, the thing which he has never done to anyone.
“I trust you” Rose replied instantly before her brain could even process her words.
“We should go back. They must be waiting for you” Elijah spoke softly and Rose nodded this time.
“Yeah. I will give you a call when I am ready to come there and also…” Rose stopped to observe his earning expression.
“Also?” Elijah raised an eyebrow.
“It will be an honor to attend this ball with you” she said dramatically.
“You are jealous” Elijah chuckled knowingly.
“No, I am not!” Rose replied offended by the truth. Her denial made him laugh even more. She huffed as she said,
“You are such a douche! I am not coming to the ball at all” Rose said while trying to move away but Elijah’s hand captured her waist and pulled her towards his chest again,
“I was kidding, Love. It would be my honor to have you there by my side” He said meaning every word but Rose wasn’t ready to listen yet.
“Don’t flatter me now. Don’t talk to me at all. Leave me!” She said fidgeting to move away form him but he held her close to him.
“Do you think I will let you go now?” He asked in a flirty tone and she stopped moving for a minute.
‘I don’t want you to’ She thought.
“Stop with your dirty thoughts” Elijah said with a grin on his face.
“Hey! That wasn’t a dirty thought. I just thought that ‘I don’t want you to leave me!'” Rose said and immediately regretted her decision to do so.
“As you command, my princess” he replied with an honest smile on his charismatic face.
His hand left her waist only to cup her face firmly as he kissed her forehead gently. She closed her eyes in the euphoric sensation. No other therapy can compare to the peace she feels when he kisses her forehead.
They parted and smiled at each other before Elijah held her hand, “Let’s go”
He kept his hand loose so that if she wanted to let go in front of her family, she could do it without feeling guilty, but to his surprise, she not only held his hand tightly but also intertwined their fingers.
He couldn’t suppress his smile after this.
They reached the living room where everyone was waiting for them. Every pair of eyes fell on them and then their intertwined fingers.
“Let go of her hand” Oliver tried to storm towards them but Uncle Levi stopped him.
Elijah ignored him like he was an unwanted stone on his way and turned toward his people.
“Let’s go” Elijah commanded in those two simple words.
“She is not coming with us?” Liam asked in confusion as he was sure she would be willing to come with them looking at their closeness with each other.
“Not now. I am willing to wait until she is comfortable” Elijah said simply.
“What about the ball? She is not coming for the ball with you either?” Matt asked which Alpha King Cole was dying to ask but he refrained himself from nagging in front of his people.
“You wish!” Elijah replied with an eye roll.
He turned toward the pack of hunters, some were looking terrified while some were arrogant, and he knew they would kill him in a heartbeat if they get the opportunity.
“Just one piece of advice before we leave, ‘If any of the hunters ever attack a werewolf in our territory, no matter if it is a rogue too, I will personally hunt you down and tear you into pieces’ I hope the idea is clear to you” He said in a chilling cold tone, his aura was darker than the moonless night.
Even Rose felt a shiver run down her spine.
“I am sorry for that” Elijah looked down to Rose who held his hand tightly after she felt the chilling sensation.
“That’s okay” Rose said plainly.
“Call me when you are ready” Elijah whispered to her.
“I will and.. uh..” She swallowed hard as she felt the burning gazes of her family on her.
“Hmm?” He asked looking at his own rays of sunshine.
“Take care” She whispered and he smiled at her before letting go of her hand.
“Remember the advice” Matt said as he was moving out of the house.
Alpha Luke accidentally touched someone while moving out of the house and felt a familiar sensation.
He looked in that direction but no one was there.
‘Strange! Why did I feel that way?’ Alpha Luke shook his hand and went outside with Alpha King Cole.
As they were about to change, Alpha King Cole turned towards his son.
“Elijah, if I am not wrong, Peter is that ugly guy short guy. Right?” Alpha King Cole asked in a serious tone.
“Yeah” Elijah nodded.
“Well done, kid. You killed the right guy even without knowing it” Alpha King Cole said with a satisfied look on his face.
“What do you mean?” Elijah asked in confusion.
“He is the one who killed your brother in the past”
