- Safe Haven?
Keshton sensed the sorrow in her tone and looked at her face. “Do you miss your mother?” Sibyl chuckled, finishing the last bite of her cake. “I don’t even remember her face at this point,” she casually replied. “Why don’t you remember?” Sibyl looked up at him, revealing a hidden part of her life. “When I was ten, my mom abandoned me. The only thing I remember is watching her back disappearing from view in the middle of the night when she opened the door and left without looking back. Later, Dad went insane when he read the letter she left behind. She was fed up with having a drunkard mate, a good–for–nothing son, and living in poverty. She abandoned us to start a new life,” she casually explained, but Keshton could clearly feel her sadness behind that slight smile. “Don’t look at me like that. I really don’t remember her now. I stopped hating her years ago when I realized how mean my father and brother were. She deserved better, and that couldn’t happen if she hadn’t abandoned me too,” she smiled, taking the empty plate from his hand before she got off the bed. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her down onto his lap. “You don’t need to hide your sadness from me, Sibyl,” he said softly. Surprised by his sudden hug, Sibyl remained unmoving in his embrace. “Don’t hide. I want you to share every happiness and sorrow with me.” Sibyl’s heart swelled with his words as she finally rested her head on his chest, leaving herself completely in his embrace. “I want to become part of your emotions and your life. There’s no need to hide anymore.” Sibyl bit her lip, and just as her tears threatened to appear, she buried her face into Keshton’s chest. He held her close in his comforting embrace that she longed for. In his embrace, she felt safe to release the emotions she had kept bottled up for so long. After a while, Keshton spoke softly, “You’re not alone anymore. We’ll face everything together.” He kissed her head gently. Sibyl bit her lips, her heart beating wildly in her chest. “Don’t say such things. I will believe you.” Keshton looked down at her small face, his expression tender. “Why stop your heart from believing me?” Sibyl slowly pulled away from him, their bodies remaining just a few inches apart. Keshton patiently watched her, sensing that she had a lot weighing on her mind. After a long silence, she finally spoke. “I grew up hating males because of my father and brother. There’s a good chance that I wouldn’t have fallen in love with Edwin if the mate bond hadn’t messed with my wolf. Still, I gave him my heart and everything else I had to give, only to stumble upon betrayal and abandonment yet again. From that moment, I vowed to never attach my heart to any other male. I wanted to be alone, away from werewolves or any packs. I didn’t want to be a puppet for any man, let alone fall in love. And then we met.” She slowly raised her eyes to lock with Keshton’s. “We can not deny our encounter as a debtor and creditor. My unusual blind eyes, the
have with me, or that I just wanted to flee to have a normal life. I don’t want to be controlled obsession you again. Once you fall in love, it starts to control you in every way and you lose yourself. It slowly shackles you to the point you lose everything. I have experienced it once and I can’t seem to forget it. Even if I have recognised my feelings for you, I do not dare acknowledge them to myself. It was not easy for me to leave the Lunar Moon Pack and make a decision of living among humans for the rest of my life. Every step along the way was hard but I made it possible with the dream of spending my rest of life alone. In my safe haven.” Keshton’s gaze softened, as he reached out to gently hold her hand. “I can’t erase the past. I can’t erase our encounter that left you with bad memories. But I want to become the man that you can finally trust, Sibyl,” he gently cupped her cheek. Sibyl’s heart skipped a beat at his desire, unable to control her wolf, “I want to become the man that you fell in love with. I want to become the last man in your life. I want to give you safe haven where we both will live together. Forever,” Keshton whispered. Sibyl and Keshton slowly inched closer to each other, their breath fanning each other’s faces before both of their lips touched each other. Would you let me be that safe haven of yours?” He peered deep into her changing eyes. Sibyl’s heart filled with butterflies as she shyly lowered her gaze, “I thought you were going to wait for my answer until the day

of the ball tomorrow.” Keshton got the hint and his lips also curled up. She indirectly agreed to be his date to the ball. He pinned her down on the bed under him, spread her legs and kissed her lips, “Then I will be waiting for you at the ball.” Sibyl moaned as he slid his c**k inside her. Soon the apartment filled with their moans, groans, and heavy breathing. Their lust for each other intensified just like the desire of their wolves. Sibyl looked at Keshton’s excited, pleasurable expression when both of them released at the same time. She immediately pulled him down for a kiss and whispered her reply to his proposal giving her answer about the ball, “Okay.” Keshton’s heart filled with joy. He went for a second round with her. However, two days later came an unexpected turn of events. Aries returned the Eclipse Moon Pack and Keshton stood outside the ball waiting for Sibyl…
