It did not take me a long moment to respond to his kiss. I was not going to be a hypocrite and would pity myself.
This was what I had been waiting for... to have Valerian's lips on mine again.
It was so sweet and passionate that it shed me a tear.
I reached for his nape and showed him how much I longed for him. With the kiss, I responded to him, I would show him that I loved him and would not let anything happen to him again.
This time, I would save him and his pack.
For now, I should indulge myself in being inside his arms.
I did not know how long I had been kissing him, but he only broke it when he wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Why are you always crying as if... you are mourning for me, honeydew?" he asked softly.
I gasped and was about to remove his hands, cupping my face. "N-No. This is not..." My words were cut off when he kissed my eyes.
His expression softened. "I am not dead. So, why is that?" That made my heart ache.
