Chapter Seventy Eight

There's a knock on the door, and I'm awoken from a very peaceful slumber.

It was Axel.

“Why are you here so early?” | questioned

“It's actually very late, close to midnight, and you've slept long enough,” he says, letting himself in.

That's when | noticed something different about him; it was his dressing. Don't getwrong, Axel was always good-looking and in the right dress, but a

white well-fitting dress shirt paired with dark grey chinos was unlike him.

“Uhmm, was the occasion?”

“Is a surprise?” he says.

“I don't like surprises.”

“Trust me, this one you will like,” he says, deliberately imitating Thane.

“I trust you, so this must be good,” | say, heading towards the door.

“Where are you going?"

“You said you have a surprise for me?” | questioned, giving him a pointed look.

“Not dressed like that; you look good, but maybe a bit more effort.”

“You've never been bothered about my dressing.”

“You will thanklater for this,” he says, and I huff.

“The blue is nice; it complements your eye colour, but the emerald green is better.” Axel said, and | nodded,

picking out the dress. | was bad at this, so | would go with anything ‘anyone’ says. 1

“So | need to be this glamoured for my surprise? | asked

“Not really, but this is appreciated,” he says, and again he gives no clue.

| took off my clothes to put on the dress, and Axel turried his attention to the wall, like it was the most interesting

thing to look at.

“You've seennaked before; I've got nothing to hide,” I said, despite the burning in my cheeks.

“You are right, but | guess watching you dress is creepy, and | wouldn't want to, except... ‘you’ wantto,” he

says.

“I don’t mind,” | respond, but I did mind; even if he had seen it all, I still felt self-conscious. Slowly Axel turned to

me, his eyes on my face as | put on the gown.

“How does this look?” | asked him, and his eyes trailed down my body once, he swallowed.

“Very good, actually,” he says. “I think you are very beautiful.”

My heart skips a beat.

“I think you are very good looking too,” | complimented, trying to act all calm, but inside... inside | wasn’t very

calm; | just wasn’t used to getting compliments like this.

He waited patiently forto straighten my hair and apply the slightest makeup-I never really believed | needed

that. | slipped on a pair of nude heels, and | was ready.

“Does Thane know about this surprise?” | asked

“Oh, he is very aware,” Axel responded, and with that, he ledout of our room. The trip down the stairs was

the hardest, and | was grateful that there were fewer people present. It was late, so we were most likely to see

more of the soldiers and a few lingering pack members.

When we were out of the pack house, | felt more relieved. The air was cold and nice, beautif the moon shone

brightly above us, and the moon was full too; maybe that had been why the night felt so serene.

Axel stopped.

“What?”

“I'll have to carry you; the heels don’t make it easy for you to move any faster,” he explains, and with that, he

sweptoff my feet and carriedbridal style to the woods.

“Axel. Why are we going into the woods in the middle of the night?”

“Afraid | will harm you?” he asks.

“No, but this is creepy.”

“We are werewolves; the woods can’t be creepy. Maybe to the humans it could be “he says, and though he

wasn't implying it, | couldnt help but feel the slight sting; the woods never felt like ‘home’ to me, and maybe

because | was just like... humans, after all, I had no wolf.

“And this surprise you have foris in the woods?” | asked, brushing off the hurt.

“You ask a lot of questions; a few more minutes, and you would have your answers."“.

1 was being carried deeper into the woods. Just then | noticed the lights-no, they weren't coming from the moon or stars; they were artificial lights. The

closer we drew to the light, the more beautiful they seemed, and a gasp escaped my lips.

The three were lined with lights-beautiful lights of multiple colors. The tiny bulbs illuminated our path, and Axel walked through the lane cleared in

between. This was all

planned, and just then | saw the dell. That portion had been cleared, and a mini canopy created with the huge leaves was forged. The little space was

littered with red roses, there was a table in the middle and three chairs, and candles arranged precisely on the right spots.

Just then I noticed Thane. He had been staring off into the distance, backing us, but now he turned towards us and | could finally get a good view of him.

1 was s0 used to seeing him formally dressed all the time; this was a big change from the usual suit and tuxedos

He was in a white silk shirt and a leather jacket over it, paired with black washed jeans and matching booths. His brown hair fell over his eyes,

My heart tightened. It almost felt surreal for a man to look this so... SEZ],

Thane could get anything with just his looks, and he knew it. He looked every bit the bad boy, the type that break every girls heart but still ends up being

loved by all; he a beautiful smirk playing on his lips as he watched me.

Axel was right, | was grateful | had taken stto get dressed, even if | seem to pale in comparison to him.

1 couldn't believe | had just earlier confessed my feelings to him. Staring at him now, he was too intimidating, like he was in control of everything. Could

all these ever be ‘mine?
