Well, well, well. Our queen is awake from her slumber.
Her voice held a hypnotic tone to it that taunted my ears, and my body turned to acknowledge her wakefulness at the expense of my own sanity.
One simple glance in her direction forced my heart to race against my chest, while the shocking realization that she was awake and oozing off Alpha energy made me realize that my pretty little monster was one step ahead of me.
She was done with her naive façade.
The air sparked with charged energy, and even I couldn’t ignore the way goosebumps began to trail up my arms while those thin hairs rose up in clear warning about the new threat in the room.
“Lex.”My voice was thick with power, and maybe I was truthfully responding out of deep-rooted fear. She was the conductor of change and that was exactly what I was wishing we could avoid.
Change is inevitable, and yet I absolutely hated it. Change meant adaptability, but what if I still wasn’t ready to alter what I’d perfected for so damn long?
Our eyes locked and the energy pulsating between us escalated. I was sure she sensed it before I could mentally acknowledge it—that desperate need to be with her, to feed off her delicious taste and delve into the immense hunger and lust only she could ignite like a match that would only light up a flame just for me.
There was no denying it: the gravitational pull that pushed me to approach her slowly until I was positioned right before her.
She’s so fucking beautiful.
There were so many secrets brewing between us, and I was finally realizing that this would be the last time I could look at her from this perspective. For a brief second, I allowed her to see the various emotions that seeped to the very surface of my eyes.
For her to see the immense pride I carried for all she’d overcome when the world seemed to be against her. For her to witness the hunger and desperation I carried for the woman she’d molded herself into. I was sure there were specks of uncertainty and a mere pinch of fear, but somehow I knew deep within, she understood me just as well as I understood her.
Even if we were meant to be but demon recruit and Alpha.
That was all going to change…
Nothing could stop me from taking the plunge—my body leaning forward and closing the distance until my lips pressed firmly against hers. The kiss was mutual and I sensed her approval as her lips pressed firmly against mine.
That’s what triggered the unraveling of the spell. The illusion of our distant lives finally coming undone and intertwining our destinies once more.
In this heightened state of emotional bliss, I took this second to accept that no matter how many times we tried to pull away from one another’s lives, Mother Moon had destined us to be together. No matter the magnitude of obstacles created to block us from accomplishing our goals, this kiss confirmed that they had all been in vain.
For Lexianne was always destined for me… and I was always destined for her.
The intimate touch opened the floodgates of memories of the past. A part of me should have been prepared for this for I was an Alpha above and down here in the shadowed realms of my own valley, and yet Lex never ceased to amaze me for she always kindled experiences I’d never faced before.
I allowed myself to feel everything as the flow of memories came crashing through my mind.
Those moments of vulnerability made my heart gallop and swell with blissfulness, while the feel of her touch always sent sparks through me. Her warmth, confidence, and perseverance to help those who didn’t deserve an ounce of her salvation was inspirational.
The time of our lives that were going in two different directions were now forced to entwine until they were a solid unit, and such an exchange encouraged the shed of snake’s skin.
Allowed us to finally be our true selves as the truth would set us free.
My hand moved to wrap around her throat as if to ease her into what was surely going to come to light for our spectators to witness. I could feel the burning energy that thrummed through the symbolic flesh, and my curiosity was just as high as my impatience to determine what she’d worked so diligently to hide from me.
Her protective walls of magic were finally ready to crumble, which meant she was ready to lean on me instead of potentially protecting me from whatever was so frightening that she decided the only way of reaching this point in time was to walk this path alone.
To be the true outcast of this world until she was discovered by the one person who never lost hope in the potential she carried.
Her magic burst out of her through that mark and headed straight into me, wrapping around me like a cloak of power that was ready to rest upon my broad shoulders and confirm this secret position I’d been desperate to carry all this while.
When our lips broke and our eyes met, I felt the funnel connection click into place as everything came flowing through: her emotions, thoughts, and the ultimate truth she’d been protecting me from. Whatever missing pieces that had vanished from my mind since that fateful drop off that cliff were restored, which left me in a sense of deja vu.
Words from the past graced my lips and entered the atmosphere with the same amount of malice—even if it truly was but a mirage of how I really felt.
“You’ve always been my pretty little monster.”
