Livianaâs POV
âGoodnight, babyâ I whispered as I kissed Luke goodnight and tucked him in.
Then, I went straight to the bathroom and took a quick shower.
I wore a robe when I got out.
As soon as I got out of the bathroom, Luan was sitting beside our son staring at him lovingly.
âHeyâ I said softly.
Luan turned to look at me.
âHeyâ he said and gave Luke a k**s before standing up amd heading towards me.
Luan gave me a k**s on my temple.
âDid you already see Cassandra off?â I asked.
Luan nodded.
âAnd El reacted how?â I asked curiously.
âHe didnât see her offâ he said with a shrug.
I sighed.
What an i***t that dude is.
âWell thatâs kind of dumb. How did Cassandra feel about itâ I asked further.
It seems that Iâm a nosy one these days.
Well, thatâs probably because a lot of unexpected things have been happening since I came back.
And well, since everyone I knew from Lunar found out that I was still alive.
One, thereâs my uncle being mated to basically my cousin Kaley.
Then, thereâs also El being mated to Luanâs cousin.
Too much drama.
âIâm sure she wasnât feeling too enthusiastic about her mate not even seeing her offâ Luan said.
I nodded in agreement.
And here I thought that El was excited to meet his mate.
Now, heâs being a complete dork about it.
âCome hereâ Luan said and pulled me to the balcony.
Then, he stood beside me and hugged me from the back.
I smiled as we stayed like that.
Then, there was a breeze of cool wind and I shivered a little making Luan hug me tighter.
I snuggled closer to him.
âDo you want to ask me anything? Tell me anything?â I suddenly asked him.
These past few days were actually spent with him, Luke and I getting to bond with each other rather than catching up with each other.
âHmmmâ Luan hummed as he thought about it.
âI can ask anything?â he asked.
I nodded.
âAnything at allâ I said.
Luan was silent for a moment.
âEven about your Rainer âfriendâ?â he said.
I chuckled.
âAnd what would you even want to know about him?â I asked.
âDid you ever have feelings for him?â he suddenly asked.
I thought about it.
âNo, not really. Or atleast not in that wayâ I said.
âWhy?â he asked.
âRainer is a great guy. Any woman will be lucky to have himâ I started.
I could already imagine Luanâs frowning face.
âButâ I said.
âHeâs not my mate. You are. I couldnât look at Rainer or fall in love with him the way I did with you. I donât know but I just canâtâ I told him.
Then, I turned around to look at Luan.
âWhy are you so intrigued with my relationship with Rainer, anyway?â I asked curiously.
Luan sighed.
âThe way you look at each otherâ he said.
I raised a brow at him.
âWhat do you mean?â I said.
âThe way you look at each other was too pure for my likingâ he said and looked away.
I slightly chuckled.
âHeâs obviously in love with you and you obviously care for himâ he said with a sigh.
âIâm not even going to lie to you because thatâs both trueâ I admitted.
Luan bit his lower l*p while still looking away.
âBut also keep in mind that if I was really that into Rainer, I would be with him right now and not youâ I told him.
Luan looked at me.
âWell, it may be because we have Luke and you donât have a choiceâ he said pouting.
I rolled my eyes.
I didnât know that Luan was this worried about Rainer and Iâs connection.
But I guess he is.
I wouldnât blame him.
If I saw him with another woman, Iâd question him too.
âEven without Luke in the picture, it would still be you, Luan. In fact, even if I died and went to the afterlife, it would still be you. Just youâ I said cupping his face.
Luan looked at me with a smile.
âReally?â he said.
I nodded.
âReallyâ I said.
Luan gave me a peck on the lips and buried his face on my neck.
âYou may be an i***t sometimes. And maybe a little too possessive and territorial for my likingâ I said.
I felt Luan frown and I chuckled.
âAnyways, my point is, however you are with your good qualities and imperfections, as long as itâs you, youâre the person Iâm going to choose to be withâ I assured him.
Luan tightened his arms on my waist as he buried his face on my neck more.
âI get that you have your doubts since I lived my life away from you without any type of clue what I was doing while I knew almost everything about you but the thing is, if I wanted to move on with my life without you, I wouldnât be here in this position right now, Luanâ I said.
Luan looked up at me.
I sighed as I held his face.
âI think Iâve said too much cheesy stuff. Iâm cringing deep insideâ I said chuckling.
Luan chuckled as well.
âI like this new side of youâ he said with a shrug.
âMy point isâ I said and took a deep breath.
I looked into Luanâs eyes.
âI love you, Luan. I always have and I always willâ I said.
Luanâs eyes watered as he leaned in to k**s me.
I felt his tear drop as he held my face to deepen the k**s.
It was deep and passionate k**s.
Full of love and affection.
Luan pulled away.
Then, he placed his forehead on mine.
âI love you, Liviana. I love you so much more than I can ever tell you. I donât know how to live without you so please stay. Stay by my side and never leave me again because Iâll never be able to survive losing you againâ he said as tears streamed down his face.
I teared up as I wiped his tears.
âEvery single day without you was pure hell to me. You became my life. My everything. And when you suddenly disappeared, it felt like I had felt everything then suddenly nothingâ he said.
My own tears started to break loose.
âI imagined life with you when we met and from then on, I couldnât imagine life without you. I forgot what life was if I couldnât be with youâ Luan continued.
I kept trying to wipe his tears.
My heart was aching for him.
The pain in his voice pierced me deep within.
âDonât leave me again pleaseâ he said.
âLuanâ I said and made him look at me.
âListen to me, okay?â I said.
Luan nodded.
âIâm never going to leave you again. Neverâ I assured him.
âI promiseâ I said.
Luan smiled and nodded.
Luan wiped my own tears and gave me a k**s on the forehead.
âDo you want to sleep with Luke and I tonight?â I asked him.
âYou think Iâll wake up tomorrow still alive if your Pa finds out?â he asked chuckling.
I laughed.
âOh Iâm sure he wouldnât try to kill you when Luke is between usâ I said with a shrug.
We both laughed.
Luan nodded.
âThat sounds greatâ he said.
I smiled.
I went and got dressed into my sleepwear while Luan laid down beside Luke.
Then, I laid down on the other side of Luke so that our son was between us.
âLuke is turning 3 in a few months, right?â Luan asked.
I nodded.
âYeah. Why?â I said.
âDo you already have something planned for him?â he asked curiously.
I shook my head.
âIâll ask him a month before his birthday. I think heâll want to do something else than what Iâd normally decide onâ I said.
Luan chuckled and nodded in agreement.
âLuke may resemble me but he sure takes after your personalityâ Luan pointed out.
I chuckled and nodded.
âThat I can agree onâ I said.
Luan and I chuckled.
âLivianaâ Luan called softly.
âHmmm?â I answered with a hum.
âDo you want to go on a date with me?â Luan suddenly asked.
I was caught off guard.
âJust you and me if possible. We can take Luke out some other time with the 3 of usâ he said.
I bit my lower l*p as I blushed like a teenager.
âSureâ I said.
Luan smiled.
âGoodnight, loveâ Luan said and reached out to touch my face with a smile on his face.
I smiled as I touched his hand on my face.
âGoodnightâ I said.
Luan smiled and closed his eyes to sleep.
I just stared at him for a moment.
After all Iâve been through in my life, Iâm still so thankful to be where I am right now.
I looked at Luan and Luke.
I actually have my little family now.
I wouldnât have imagined myself in this situation but here I am.
Luan and I are still in like a restart phase in our relationship and trying to catch up with each otherâs changes in life.
But Iâm so glad that itâs still him.
I never realized how lucky I was until I almost lost us.
Iâve changed so much in 3 years and although itâs a little overwhelming, itâs something I wouldnât ever regret.
I came from being a cold hearted female Alpha and mate to a warm person and well, Queen and mother.
Isnât that surprising?
