Song For This Chapter: Through The Eyes Of A Child by AURORA
King Wilhelm;
He looked up at me, and a small smile split his face. The moment lingered until he stood up and walked over to me.
He stopped beside my chair, and I looked up at him in confusion.
He was close. Too close.
His beautiful eyes held a softness that always unravelled me inside. A softness that always made my breath and nerves twist as it found a way to reduce me to a stumbling mess.
He lifted my hand from the table, turning it palm-up as his thumbs slowly traced my palms.
"Do you know why I care so much about this kingdom?" he questioned in a whisper, and I swallowed.
"Because you're a good Alpha," I replied, and he smiled. Like one would smile at a little child.
"That, yes…"
"But also because I love the man who rules it." He replied, and my breath caught.
He said it so plainly… so confidently… as if he didn't just say he loved me.
