What About Now?

Chapter 29 - Thinking Out Loud

"Soul mates?" I question nervously.

After Levi was announced king of the werewolf kingdom the audience surrounded us. They cheered and hooted for their new king, causing the party to go into full swing. Drinks were handed around and passed to us, however, seeing the confusion swim in my blue eyes, Levi declined and ushered me inside the castle instead.

"Yes, you're my mate." He leads me past a few servants, taking many turns through the castle's halls.

I'm too enveloped in my thoughts to discern our arrival at the storage room, only noticing when he pushes the wide double doors open.

I gasp, using my hands to cover my mouth in surprise as I assess the room. The piano is pushed back towards the end of the room, a lavish dinner table taking its place. I make my way inside, noticing dozens of candles surrounding the floor, illuminating with each stride I take.

"How did you do this?" I ask in surprise, lifting the skirt of my dress to fully glance around the room.

"I'm the king, I can do and give you anything you want," he answers huskily, staring into my eyes.

I blush lightly and glance to the floor, "Well, you mind explaining to me what happened at the festival?"

He nods and comes around to pull out my chair, ushering me to take a seat.

I do so, never taking my eyes off his form, following his movements towards his seat.

He sighs loudly, appearing quite apprehensive. "Let me just make sure you eat first."

His eyes glass over and almost immediately two servants walk inside, setting a plate for each of us. They proceed to bow and walk out of the room, closing the double doors behind them.

The smell coming from the food makes my mouth water. I quickly glance toward Levi, watching as he eats his medium-rare steak, ushering me to do so as well.

I giggle and grab my fork, feeling the flavors explode in my mouth with each bite. The taste makes me moan, "How does Terry do this?" I ask appreciatively.

Levi chuckles at my reaction, staring at me in adoration, but then swiftly changes his expression to a more serious one.

"All right Kailani, I know you have questions, so go ahead. I'll answer them as truthfully as I can."

I nod, swallowing a piece of steak. I have so many questions, where do I start?

"So, I'm your mate, your soul mate?"

He nods tentatively, gauging my reaction. His dark orbs gaze into my blue ones, watching the uncertainty swim between them. He scratches the slight stubble on his face, causing me to smile at his attractive appearance.

"What does that mean exactly?" I question, taking sip of water.

He smiles contently and places his hand over the table, gesturing for mine.

I narrow my eyes in questioning, but do so anyways.

"What do you feel?" He asks, squeezing my hand tightly.

I stare at our intertwined hands, feeling the pleasurable shocks course throughout my body, imagining the electricity surrounding our intertwined hands, keeping us together, forever.

"Electricity, a lot of it. I know it sounds crazy, but it just feels like these shocks, but good ones."

He smiles at my explanation, causing me to nervously push a strand of blonde hair behind my ear and grin apprehensively.
