Marcel POV

MATURE CONTENT Sexually explicit | mention of sexual abuse

I blurted out my confession softly, I hoped it was quiet enough that it wouldn't have caught her ears. But as I felt sadness wash over me admitting my failure, her beautiful blue eyes stared back widely, hoping it was a trick.

"What?" She breathed I felt my heart tighten in my chest, sighing I gripped the edge of the marble top tightening my grip on it, I had to control myself I didn't want to break another bench top again.

"I wanted to say something but I didn't know how," I turned to the fridge grabbing out some ingredients, "should only be a few weeks, but I thought I would..."

I was stopped in my tracks as her arms tightly threaded around my waist filling me with warmth, my little Alpha, I don't want to leave her here without me.

She is strong Marcel keep it together, I placed a hand on top of her hands.

Waves of emotions continued to wash over me, sadness, anger, resentment, fear, I was scared my little big bad wolf was feeling so many strong emotions towards me. Her feelings right now were completely valid, maybe I should have waited utill tomorrow?

I had been dreading telling this beautiful goddess the entire time, that I had to leave. My job takes me many places and I have to serve, this dangerous Breeding camp needed my attention. And I know she knew that.

We had been working with the she-wolf for the past week and Sera had finally gotten a location, a mapped area surrounding the compound.

From my knowledge with Breeding camps, they move locations constantly to hide themselves and teach the male children their ways. I shuddered at the thought as I turned myself in my beautiful little Alphas arms, gosh she is beautiful her eyes full of worry, "you don't have to worry, I'll be fine."

Her hair covered her face as she buried it against my chest. We were silent, I ran a hand through her hair whilst the other glided down her back, I could get use to this.

I hopefully would only be gone a few weeks and then I would be back with her, I would check in each few days, when I could. I wanted to leave Sera behind to keep an eye on her, but she insisted on attending to help us with her knowledge.

Sera and Julien usually took over leadership when I was away on missions, this time it would be Julien solo.

A sob pulled me from my thoughts as warm liquid hit my chest, "hey hey hey," I knelt down grabbing her angelic face in my hands wiping the tears from her cheeks with the pads of me thumbs.

"I'm fine," she sniffles, clearly not fine, "just emotions," she exhaled shakily, then took a breath, "just so many emotions," she laughed dryly resting a hand on mine.

I smiled nodding at her, I slid my thumb over her bottom lip, leaning forward kissing her lips softly. She pushed into me fiercely pushing every emotion into the kiss, I stood up picking her up. She instinctively wrapped her thighs around my waist like a monkey in a tree. Sitting her on the counter I leant back, "let's enjoy the rest of the weekend okay?"

She sighed nodding, "so where are you going?" She started asking 20 questions as I made her some food.

I answered all of her questions 'going to the breeding camp', 'scouting for the first few days before moving in to infiltrate', explaining that I have to stay back with survivors as they are moved to the safety of the Council.

I handed her a bowl of risotto which she grabbed and brought to her nose, "this smells amazing," she smiled grabbing a fork.

Little did she know I took a few YouTube cooking classes so I was able to make her food that would taste good. I had been a vampire for over a century at this stage and it had been years since I last made food for anyone. I mean cereal for Sera doesn't count, but I made her test some of my trial runs .
