Broken & Rejected (Werewolf Romance)

13.

Kieran POV

I made my way to the kitchen where I knew the other's had brought Felicity after Jamie hit her. I saw her as soon as I entered the doorway, she was sitting by a table with something frozen to her face to try and bring down the swelling that would most likely occur. I guess she must have asked the others for some space or time on her own as they were nowhere to be seen or heard. 

"Hey, how are you?" I asked tentatively as I walked over to her

"Still hurts" Felicity replied in a low voice

"I'm so sorry you got brought into all this" I said cautiously as I took a seat next to her

"I was brought in the moment I knew I was his mate and he rejected me, it's not your fault" Felicity told me

"Why did you jump in and stop him from hitting me? His punch wouldn't have hurt me as much" I said, I had been wanting to ask her all night why she jumped in to defend me like that

"I thought I was defending you as a Luna should, I didn't want to see him hurt you in any way. You've saved me plenty of times, I guess I just saw that as my opportunity to save you" Felicity explained

"You already have saved me, the moment you agreed to be my mate, the minute you let me mark you, you gave up so much to be here with me" I told her

"Did you mean what you said when you told them you love me?" Felicity asked

"Yes I did mean it, I believe that's part of the reason why I imprinted on you. I'd been trying for so long to imprint on Sarah but it never happened, I know I've only known you a short time but you make me feel things I never thought I could or ever would" I began to explain

"Love being one of those feelings?" Felicity asked

"Yes that along with happiness and joy" I answered

It was silent for a moment or so but it was a peaceful silence between us. A thought soon occurred in my mind, I saw this as my opportunity to as Felicity a question.

"Did you mean it when you told them you love me?" I asked her. 

Felicity looked shocked, maybe because I had heard her say that to Jamie? 

"Yes I did mean it, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't. I wouldn't play mind games or with someone's feelings like that, I'm not that type of person" Felicity answered

"I know your not, it's just when you said it, I hadn't expected you to say it like that" I told her

"That's not how I planned on saying my first "I love you" to you either, I wanted it to be special something we could look back on in years to come and cherish, maybe even tell our kids/pups one day" Felicity replied

"Well why not tell me now? We're on our own with no one around to disturb us" I said trying to encourage her

Felicity shot me an uncertain look but I kept my gaze strong on her. 

"I love you Kieran Templeton" Felicity smiled

"I love you Felicity Morgan" I replied

We both smiled at each other, both of our eyes filled with adoration and love. 

"What about...him...." Felicity asked looking down

"He was sent home and told never to return here again, most of the other Alpha leaders all cut him from their allies" I told her

If it were up to me he really should have suffered more and had a more harsher punishment. I guess seeing as Felicity was fine and not harmed much I can't ask for much more than this. I took a quick glance at my watch and realised how late it actually was.
