‘I’m not worried as long as you’re here.’ Moana said when she saw vampires weren’t stopping or doing anything to Liara, but what would happen to her when Liara would leave her alone to talk with Theodore? She was thinking all this when she caught a familiar scent.
Alaric!!
“Liara!!” He greeted her, reaching near her. “Welcome to my Coven. I hope my friends didn’t misbehave with you.” He said and looked at the girl behind her.
“No. They didn’t. Where is Theo?” Liara asked.
“He is on the tree.” He said, pointing toward the tallest tree around there. If not for their werewolves’ eyes, no one of them could have seen him there.”
“Please take care of her while I am with him.” She requested to which Alaric smirked before replying.
“Of course. I will take good care of her.” Moana glared at him when she realized his double-meaning words, while Liara didn’t understand a thing. Thanking Alaric, Liara walked toward that tree.
The more she walked closer to the tree, the clear she could see the surrounding around it. A lot of trees were ripped out of the soil. She didn’t need to use her mind because she already knew who would have done that.
She started climbing the trees slowly without looking downward. If he could reach there, then being her mate, she could do the same.
After an hour, she finally reached him. The moment she sat beside him, his face turned toward her.
“Lia?”
Liara took a moment to open her mouth before catching her breathe
“Who is the girl about which you were thinking so hard that you sensed my presence this late?” Liara asked, narrowing her eyes.
He reached his hand to caress Liara’s cheek to check whether she was really there. Because she was scared of heights, and when he felt the spark all over his body. He knew that she was there. She was there for him, kicking her fear away.
“I didn’t think that you would come for me even after knowing about the pain that I gave to your sister. I’m sorry, Lia!! I’m so sorry for disappointing you. I know I could have handled the situation in a better way back then but trust me, I had no idea that she was pregnant, or I would never… never had rejected her. I am an idiot and selfish. I know that. But please don’t leave me. The reason I was staying here, away from you, so that you couldn’t reject me….”
Liara put her one hand on his cheek, looking into his grey eyes, trying to calm him down. Their faces were so close. Theodore kept blabbering with a broken voice.
“Calm down!! I won’t leave you.” She whispered calmly, resting her head against his.
“You will when you will come to know what I did. But I don’t do anything willingly. When I see you in pain, my brain stops working in the right way, and I end up hurting those people more than they hurt you. I’m so sorry….”
Words died in his mouth then Liara slammed her lips against his. ‘I missed you.’ She mind-linked him before breaking the kiss.
“I missed you too,” Theodore responded, and this time, he was finally calm.
“I’m not going to lecture you, Odo. But you should apologize to Tee instead of me.”
“I already did,” Theodore responded, gritting his teeth. He had to do that sooner or later, and after finding out everything, he couldn’t control himself from visiting her.
“You did?”
“Hmm” With that, he started narrating everything to her. “.... I know what the hell she was thinking by kissing me against my wish and even after knowing that I didn’t have any feelings for her. After that, I didn’t stay there for a second to ask the reason behind this behavior or to know whether she forgave me or not. Because the last thing I wanted to hurt her again, not when I went there to apologize for hurting her.”
