The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

Hearing Kendrix say the words love made me feel hot and anxious, I know he talked about working things out and wanting me to trust him again, I just didn’t think he would say the L words, didn’t even think he had that kind of feelings for me, I just thought he cared about me enough to not want someone else, that I was useful to him and his goal, but hearing him say the words I so much wanted to hear from him changed everything but then again, I couldn’t just blindly believe that he suddenly has feelings for me. as much as I love to hear him say he loves me; I didn’t want him to lie about it.

“You don’t have to lie, Ken, I already agreed, we can work things out and build our relationship again, you don’t need to tell me you love me when you know that’s not true,”

I told him, I didn’t want to be given any false hope.

“Ari, I messed up, I understand that you can’t trust me right now but know, one thing, I am not lying to you, Ari, I love you, I really do, I don’t want to talk about the past anymore but that night, before she called me, I had been coming home to you, I wanted to tell you how I felt about you that night but I ruined everything,”

He lamented. He sounded so sincere, I was scared to let myself believe and face another heartbreak again because of the false truth but at the same time, I wanted to throw caution to the winds and believe him.

“I am scared Ken, I want so much to believe everything you are saying but I am scared, I haven’t been okay since we separated,”

“I haven’t been okay, either, baby, believe me,”

He was asking me to believe him over and over again. It felt insensitive for me to keep pushing and telling him that I didn’t believe him so I just let it go, forgot everything that happened, and decided it was best to move on rather than dwell in the past. if he didn’t really care about me, he wouldn’t be here asking me to come back, he wouldn’t have even explained himself or tried to get me back, he would have moved on with his life without me but he was here, and he said he loves me. That was all that mattered. I went into his arms. I heard him exhale before wrapping his arms around me.

“Thank you, baby, for giving me another chance, I promise that I won’t let you down, Ari, I love you so much,”

He said those words again. said them too sincerely for them not to be true.

“I love you too,”

I whispered, blinking back tears, I have cried enough.

“I love you so much Ari, I am so sorry I couldn’t figure out you were the one for me, I wasted so much time, I should have known when we first met, I should have figured it all out, I had the chance to do it when we made love but I didn’t,”

I withdrew from the hug to look at him. He wasn’t the only one who didn’t figure things out, I didn’t either, until we made love, so I couldn’t judge him, only the moon goddess knows why it happened the way it did.

“You don’t have to apologize about that Ken, it wasn’t your fault, it was your ex’s fault because she charmed you, I am going to break that spell completely,”

I told him before I pulled his face to mine and kissed his lips softly, I felt relief and whole again, today has been all about reconciliation and I am glad I gave everyone I care about a second chance. I knew I was putting myself out there and there was a chance that I might get hurt again but I just didn’t want to not give them a chance and then end up sad because I didn’t.

“That’s all you get, you will get your punishment for kissing another woman,”

I said when I broke the kiss, he stared at me in confusion, his expression was so comical that I started laughing, he didn’t look amused.

“How long do I have to be punished?”

He asked in a serious tone, I tilted my head to the side and pretended to be deep in thought.

“Two weeks, no touching for two weeks,”

The look on his face was pure comedic and I couldn’t stop laughing. he didn’t find it funny at all but I was having fun.

“Please, no, baby, I have been suffering from withdrawal syndrome, I can’t go another two weeks without holding you or kissing you, please don’t punish me like that,”

He pleaded. I had to take pity on him because he really didn’t look scared that I was being serious.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Okay, no need to look so scared, I am not going to punish you or anything, I love you too much and I can’t watch you suffer, I will suffer too because I missed you so much,”

I told him with a smile; his face lit up.

“Wow, you two made up?”

I heard Raul’s voice and turned to him.

“Yes, we did,”

I said happily.

“Wow, does that mean we get to be a family again?”

His question made me realize Kendrix and I fighting made him lose the second family he had. I felt so bad for dragging him into our fight and not even considering how he felt about the whole thing. I reached for Kendrix’s hand and also gestured for Raul to come take my other hand, he came to me without questions and held my hand.

“Yes, we are family Raul,”

I told him, before looking back at Ken who was staring at me lovingly, there was no doubt in his eyes, I knew it because I felt it too that we were going to be one happy family.
