Chapter 104

104 Yes

Lucien turned his head slightly so that their eyes met.

“I thought you wanted to ravish me until I cry like a little girl.”

Ronan chuckled.

“That is for sure, but I want more than just sex. I want a relationship.”

“And I thought you were a hopeless playboy.”

Ronan tightened his arms around Lucien’s body.

“Stop assuming things about me. Just say yes.”

Lucien chuckled and turned away from the Alpha. The dejected Alpha nuzzled the side of Lucien’s head and urged him. “Come on. What is your answer?”

“...”

.....

“Lulu...”

“...”

Ronan bit into Lucien’s earlobe and pulled at it impatiently. He had never had to pursue someone this hard. It was not as if he was asking Lucien to marry him. Why would Lucien still disagree to date him? Would he prefer having Ronan annoy him day in and day out before he finally said yes?

Lucien was at the end of his wits. Maybe he did not understand Ronan well enough. Most men, particularly the alpha werewolves, would be appalled by constant rejection. It did not seem to apply to Ronan. The more Lucien pushed him away, the harder Ronan gave chase.

“Scarsdale City, exit to the left.”

The last passengers who were standing in the same space alighted, leaving the two men who were still huddled together intimately.

Lucien raised his eyes and looked at Ronan’s reflection on the glass pane at the sliding door. The Alpha was also looking at Lucien’s reflection at the same time.

“Ronan, I love you,” Lucien confessed.

The three words that Ronan longed to hear for months. The Alpha was itching to turn the man in his arms on his heels and kissed the breath away from Lucien, but he knew that Lucien was not done yet. Whatever Lucien wanted to say, Ronan only hoped that it was nothing new.

Indeed it wasn’t.

“I know that you also love me. Unfortunately, our situation is very complicated. Whether it was in the past or now, our positions in the packs simply do not allow that.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Ronan turned Lucien around and looked deep into the latter’s eyes.

“If you are willing to marry into the Night Prowler Pack as Kinnon’s Luna, why can you not do the same for me?”

“Kinnon already has an heir.”

“So?”

“You don’t,” Lucien pointed out the obvious.

Ronan scoffed. “Lulu, whether or not I have a child, why is it so important to you?”

“The right question would be why it is not important to you at all. Do you not wish to preserve your bloodline? What about keeping the Alpha position in your family?”

“Lucien.” Ronan grabbed Lucien’s arms and sighed. “I want you. I don’t want any child unless it is yours.”

Ronan’s right hand slid slowly down Lucien’s arm and landed on Lucien’s stomach. “Unless you plan to give birth to my child in near future, you don’t need to concern yourself with my having children or not.”

Lucien averted his eyes but he placed his left hand on top of Ronan’s.

“Stupid,” he muttered. “If I can give birth to your child, I would have done so years ago.”

Ronan’s lips curled up in a smile. He pulled Lucien into a hug and lowered his head to kiss the man. Ronan’s tongue tickled at Lucien’s lips, forcing the latter to allow him in. The man eventually complied and let Ronan kiss him so hard that his knees went weak.

They were busy kissing each other in the empty corridor for who knew how long. It was not until the train stopped at the next station that Ronan and Lucien finally broke the kiss.

Two passengers entered the corridor but they thankfully reserved their seats so Ronan and Lucien had the corridor all for themselves again.

“So, was that a yes?” Ronan prodded.

Lucien wiped at the corner of his swollen lips and said nothing. His face was tinted red and the corners of his eyes were also slightly red. He looked a lot like someone who just got bullied to tears.

“Lulu...? Give us another chance, please.”

Lucien looked up at Ronan.

‘Say yes,’ Landon begged in Lucien’s head. ‘Please. Please, I beg you.’

“Yes,” Lucien said in the end, giving in to both Ronan and Landon.

“Finally,” Ronan whispered. He took Lucien in his arms again, pinched the latter’s chin between his fingers, and locked their lips together one more time.

‘FINALLY!’ Landon cried. He had the good sense to disappear right after to not ruin the moment between Ronan and Lucien.

It had to be the second most beautiful day in Ronan’s life; the first one was when Lucien agreed to date him after his first confession at the Alpha Camp. Although he had been standing for two hours and his legs started to ache, Ronan could not care less.

There in the narrow corridor where the two men did not even have seats to sit on, on an exhausting train ride from Hapsborough City to Blue Hill City, Lucien had finally agreed to date him again. Ronan could not be happier.

For all he cared, the train ride could last a bit longer. He wished to extend this beautiful moment for a while longer.

The beautiful moment when there were only the two of them. The perfect continuation of the time that they spent together in the hospital.

“I love you, Lucien Clearwater,” Ronan said again, peppering his lover’s face with little kisses.

“I love you, Ronan Silverback,” Lucien said in return. He put his arms around Ronan and buried his face into the Alpha’s chest. The sandalwood scent laced with sea salt filled Lucien’s nasal cavity, evoking a soft grunt from him.

Time passed by quickly when people least expected it to. The train ride ended before Ronan and Lucien even knew it. At the Blue Hill City’s train station, Annalynne already waited for their arrival with a car.

When the woman saw Ronan and Lucien walking side-by-side with intertwined hands, she quickly flushed. She had a lot of personal questions to ask her brother, but it was not the time for that.

In the Silent Walkers Pack House, things had taken a rather complicated turn.
