Elda and Erin
Erin lowered her head.
Her voice trembled.
Erin: "I couldn't tell anyone."
"I thought Father's reputation would be ruined."
"He was my husband..."
"But he was living with his real mate."
"You know..."
"It felt like hell, Elda."
"I just wanted to di—"
Before she could finish...
Elda gently pulled her closer.
She kissed Erin softly.
A brief, comforting kiss.
Erin froze.
❤️
When they pulled apart...
Erin's cheeks turned bright red.
Elda smiled warmly.
She couldn't hide her happiness.
Elda (thinking):
She never truly gave her heart to anyone else...
Erin looked away shyly.
Erin: "What was that for?" 😳
Elda smiled.
Elda: "Healing my Alpha's soul, darling." 🥰
Erin tried not to smile.
But she failed.
A tiny smile appeared.
Erin: "That's all?"
"My darling?" 😏
Elda chuckled.
Elda: "Wait a few more days."
"My marriage with Aaron will be cancelled."
She was still gently cupping Erin's face.
Erin looked worried.
Erin: "But... what about Aunt Ether?"
Elda shook her head.
Elda: "Don't worry."
"Aaron will handle that."
Erin lowered her eyes.
Erin: "Forgive my human Alpha."
"I tried to explain everything to her."
"But she's too stubborn."
"She wouldn't listen."
"I..."
Elda placed a finger over Erin's lips.
Elda: "Shhh..."
"We'll deal with everything after we return to the kingdom."
Erin sighed.
Erin: "But my father..."
"And your human side..."
"She may never forgive you."
Elda looked into Erin's eyes.
Elda: "What about you?"
Erin smiled softly.
Erin: "Do you really think..."
"I'd let someone kiss me..."
"If I hated them?" ❤️
Elda's smile grew brighter.
She hesitated for a moment.
Then asked gently.
Elda: "Will you do me one favor?" 🥰
Erin tilted her head.
Erin: "What is it?" 😊
