When A Wolf's In Love | Ame x Reader

Chapter 12

I woke up during the night and looked down to see a hand holding mine. I moved my head and saw Ame sleeping next to me.

I gripped his hand a little tighter and he woke up. His gaze softened when he saw me looking at him.

Ame let go of my hand and moved to hug me tightly yet gently. I was surprised. "Oh, (Y/n)... You had me really worried."

I tilted my head, sensing something else from his sentence. "Why?"

He looked at me and took a deep breath. "I think it's time I told you. (Y/n), I thought I was going to lose you.. It made me realize that I... I'm in love with you."

I sat there, surprised. Because a short while ago, I talked with my mother about all I felt when I was around Ame and she told me, 'Well, aren't you just in love?'

After her comment, I realized I actually loved him. That was the reason I started acting a bit odd around him. I noticed that he was also acting a little strange around me, too. With what he said just now, it started to make sense.

Ame looked at me nervously, seeing I was still not moving. He thought for a few moments before his lips crashed onto mine.

If I was surprised before, now I was completely stunned. His lips felt so soft...

After a few seconds, I closed my eyes and kissed him back. I felt his lips move in sync with mine, and I stayed like that for some time.

After we both ran out of breath, we parted. His cheeks were red as he looked away and rubbed the back of his neck. "So... Does that mean you return my feelings...?"

I giggled and nodded, lunging at him and giving him a hug. "Yes, yes I do, Ame."

He chuckled and hugged me back, taking care so he didn't touch my wound.

We fell asleep hugging each other.

A week and a half had passed, and I had recovered remarkably well. I could go home today.

Ame and I were now girlfriend and boyfriend. Both Hana and Yuki found out not long after we started dating, and teased us quite a bit.

I was now standing with my back to my house while talking with Ame. We were deciding how to tell my family the good news.

Ame told me we should just straight up tell them and see how they react. I smiled and stood on my tippy toes to hug his neck and give him a kiss.

We were interrupted by a cough. Alarmed, we both spun around to see my mother holding my little sister with a knowing smile on her face, my father with crossed arms and my little brother with raised eyebrows.

I blushed, "When did you get here? I thought you were inside."

There was no need to them to answer. My mother just wiggled her eyebrows at me with a smirk.

"Well, we heard you. So, Ame came to tell us that a hunter had shot you and that you were recovering in his mother's house. Seems like something more happened there, too." She said.

I looked down with a blush. "Well, we we were deciding how to tell you... It only happened after I got shot."

She looked at the bandage on my shoulder which was visible since I was wearing a tank top and some pants. "Are you alright now, though?" She asked in worry.

I nodded and gave her a smile. "Yes. Also, Ame and I decided that we are going to be mates when we turn eighteen. We will live together, but we will still visit regularly so I can watch my little brother and sister grow up."

My father looked a bit shocked, although he might have already been expecting it. He and my family nodded, accepting our decision.

We smiled and Ame put an arm around my shoulder. We visited a while before we went to Ame's den.
