Chapter Nine - Muah <3

KARA

When I woke up, I noticed an arm wrapped tightly around my waist. I looked at the man before me.

Connor.

His lips were slightly parted and his breathing was steady. I looked around and noticed we were in an unfamiliar room. I felt his arm move slightly.

"Kara...?"

I internally kicked myself for waking him up. He sat up slightly and held my hand.

"What's wrong?" he asked, sensing my nervousness, I think.

"Where are we?"

"We're in my hideout's bedroom. You were asleep so I brought you here to be more comfortable."

Suddenly, he went completely silent.

CONNOR

Con, where are you? - Collin

Somewhere. - Connor

You better come back home now. Papà's expecting you and your mate. - Collin

'Kay, we're coming soon. - Connor

Still can't believe you hid your mate's identity from me even after a month. - Collin

I internally chuckled and broke off the connection. I looked to Kara who's confused out of her mind.

"Let's go back."

"Okay."

I moved the blanket and we got off. I went to the wardrobe.

"I have some girl clothes in here."

She walked to me.

"Why do you have those?"

"Just in case when you and I mate, I get too rough and rip apart the clothes," I winked.

Her face blushed bright red.

You dirty animal.

"And to make sure you don't think about it the wrong way, mamma bought it and I've never touched it. It's in that box."

She seemed to understand. I took a random hoodie and some black jeans. Kara flipped through and took a hoodie dress with a pair of leggings and undergarments. She went into the bathroom to change while I changed in the bedroom. When she came out, I handed her a pair of light blue high top converse. She wore it and I wore a black colored pair.

"Shall we?"

"We shall."

I held her hand and we walked out together. On our way back, she laid her head against my shoulder as we walked and I caressed her hand with my thumb.

"We've only known each other for a month, and yet we've grown so close," she said as she held onto my arm with her free hand.

"The mate pull is something fascinating. Every mate bond is different. You'll never know what're you gonna get," I said, kissing her forehead.

"Well, I think I'm lucky to be paired with a kind and caring mate like you," she snuggled up to me.

"By the way," I slowed down my pace, "since we're basically tied together for life, how about being my girlfriend?"

She stopped walking.

That question came out from nowhere, but I was kinda expecting it.
