(Abraam's POV)
Immortality is a curse. Nineteen years ago, I felt her presence again, I knew my wait was over. I couldn't protect her back then, but I will protect her with my life. I could feel the curse lift off as soon as she was born again. It's been ten thousand years I have been waiting for her and past nineteen years protecting her without interfering in her daily routine. She is beautiful. Even now, just a glimpse of her, takes my breath away. But this time she is different. Very childish and stubborn. Getting her to Moonlight Cafe was an easy task. Shoba will manage when she has her awakening. Paulo could keep an eye on her, but he failed me. He let her go alone. I can't imagine what would have happened if I didn't reach on time. I cannot loose her, not after ten thousand years of wait. I just needed a shower after the long day. A hot shower to recall history, classic Alpha move!!
Suddenly I could sense her. Where is she? Is she roaming again? I need to check. I wrapped a towel and opened the door. There she is.... Right in front of me, beautiful as always. That blue satin gown still fits her, her perfect curves visible through the delicate piece of cloth. Our eyes met, for the first time in ten thousand years. She is right in front of me, those beautiful silvery eyes which was shining like a full moon.... I walked towards her, my eye locked to hers, I can't read her expression but her eyes seems to be enjoying every inch of me. Damn, she still turns me on with just a look. I was close enough but she did not move an inch. Still the same old Dolcenea, I brushed her beautiful golden hair aside and touched her face. She looks so pure and in pain too. Damn I wanna kiss my girl, I wanna hug away her pain. It's kills me to see tears in her eyes. "How are you feeling now, love?" I couldn't stop but ask if she was alright. She touched my hands and was crying now. All this is too much for her. She fainted again. I took her in my arms to the bed. Tears rolling down her cheeks. I couldn't stop myself. She was right here, with me. Ever since I brought her to the castle, I wanted to keep myself away from her, atleast until her awakening. She needs to first find out who she is, only then I can reveal myself. I have to keep myself together, this beautiful lady makes me feel everything that I never wanted to feel in my life. She makes me feel strong yet vulnerable. She is my greatest strength yet weakness. I don't wish to lose her again.
I put on my clothes and carried her back to her room. She is just as light as a feather. I wanted to be by her side for sometime. Pepper was still sleeping on the bed. Useless fellow! I thought he would keep an eye on her. Seems like I need to arrange someone to keep an eye on him too. Pepper is Dolcenea's spirit animal. She doesn't know it yet. I couldn't stop looking at her beautiful face. "Don't worry love! You'll know everything very soon. After all you are the only redemption of Silver Claw pack. I took a deep breath. Ten thousand years!!! Do you have any idea how I have spent each day, each minute without you? I couldn't forgive myself for not being able to protect you, but now you're here, I am here, we will rewrite history.... Together!
I kissed her forehead before leaving but she had a tight hold on my shirt. If I force to free her hand, I might wake her up. She needs rest. I'll stay for a while and leave before she is awake. It is going to be hell of a night resisting myself from the most tempting sight that I have waited for ten thousand years now. Her lips, neck, her perfect body, it's way too difficult to keep my mind straight with her like this in front of me. I kissed her face before turning off the lights.
