I was shocked and immobilized by having Niccolo's face closer to me.
How?
How did I find myself being in his arms? Why did his arms feel like home?
I snapped back when his hand reached me and gently wiped away my tears. "You are crying again..." he said in a distressed tone.
Niccolo's words had brought me to tears again. "I-I thought you are V-Valerian..." I said through sobbing. "Your tunic... smelled like his scent..." Now that I realized it, it seemed like a perfume he had on it. Or it seemed like the hyacinth flowers were smeared on his clothes.
That ached my heart more since I really expected that it was Valerian.
But... how about my wolf? My wolf whispered that scent came from my mate—from Valerian. And it came from this tavern... I couldn't be wrong. I was not having hallucinations...
