Chapter 136: What did he like in her?

ALPHA MAVERICK’S POV

If she picked up Dylan’s call, what were the chances that she would reply to my texts too?

I kept glaring at the number on my phone, wondering if she would reply to my text or not. I had never thought about anything twice before doing it, but the thoughts like how I would really feel bad if she didn’t reply were really clouding my head.

Not being able to control myself anymore, I finally took a deep breath and texted her.

"I hope you are not angry with me," I texted her, hoping for her quick reply.

I kept staring at the right tick on my text as if my staring would send some kind of signal to Valencia and she would see this text quickly.

It didn’t come.

Even after staring at the text for twenty minutes and refreshing my screen again and again, the reply didn’t come and I sighed.

I was about to throw my phone on the side when my phone finally pinged with an incoming message and I immediately opened her text.

"Your kisses were too sweet for me to stay angry at you for anything. Why would I be angry at you? You have done nothing wrong," The reply said.

I looked at the text, unsure if it was sent by none other than Valencia.

My heart skipped a beat and I smiled immediately.

[Is that so?]

I wrote back, unsure why I, a grown-up man, was feeling like a teenager in love, just because she sent something like that.

"Who are you talking to?" Shadow asked me, and I immediately closed my screen as he walked to me, making him raise his brows.

"It’s nothing. When can we leave?" I asked and the man looked at me with a sigh.

"I have arranged for the tickets, sir. We will be leaving in two hours," Shadow said and I glared at him.

Two hours? What did he mean we would be leaving in two hours? What will I do in those two hours?

Hearing the ping sound of my phone, I immediately opened my phone, glaring at Shadow who looked into my phone.

I cleared my throat before standing from my place and walking to the window to be able to talk to my woman.

"Yes. You never fail to keep me on my toes,"

Valencia’s message read and I could feel my lips twitching irrespective of how hard I was trying to control my smiles.

This was new to me. This feeling, everything was new to me, and I didn’t know if I wouldn’t look like a lovesick fool if I smiled while reading.

’Do you really care about what others think about you?’ Reaper said and I paused.

I don’t.

’What do you think?’ I asked and the world sighed.

’Let’s propose to her already. I can’t wait to call her our woman in front of everyone. You know how things are. With how she keeps running away, I am afraid someone will take her away from us,’ Reaper said and I raised my eyebrows at his suggestion.

Was he seriously asking me to propose to her already? For what? So that she can run far away from me already? We haven’t even established our relationship yet.

’Leave it. That’s a matter for later. Tell me what I should text back,’ I asked him

’Let me take over for a minute,’ he said and I allowed him to do so.

However, in the next second, he grinned, a clear indication that he did not have anything good in mind.

’Hey, if you -’

"Well, that’s a pity because I don’t want to keep you on your toes, but on your back, on the bed, under me while I make love to you and show you what ecstasy and pleasure feels like," Reaper bit the sent button before I could complain, and I looked at the text with wide eyes.

Seriously, I was about to unsend the message as soon as he gave me the control back when I looked at the read sign.

’Reaper, for god’s sake! She left because she was angry. Do you think she would entertain something like this? It’s different when we are talking face to face. How could you-’ I couldn’t even complete my scolding when I saw my phone ringing, and I gulped before picking up the call.

"H-hello," I stuttered, closing my eyes, ready to hear a series of profanities and scoldings from her, but what she said next surprised me.

It was a question but that question made me hold my breath.

"What do you really like about me, Alpha Maverick?" She asked.

I held my breath for a second.

"Are you not going to answer my question?" She asked and I exhaled.

She wants to ask me what I like about her. Was there just one thing that I could tell her that I liked about her?

Does she even know what kind of gem she was while she was asking me this question? The idea that it was Carl’s words that probably filled her with insecurity made my heart and for the first time, I thought about opening my heart to her.

"Valencia, I can write a novel about what I like about you. You are so precious to me. However, if you insist on me summarizing it, I like the fire in your eyes and your resilience.

I like your strength, the way you smile in every situation, your intelligence, your quick wit, and most importantly, for keeping an innocent heart even when this world doesn’t deserve it," I paused, my heart racing as I addressed my own feelings in my words.

I could hear her take a sharp breath, but I wasn’t done speaking.

"If we talk about physical features, your beauty, your sensuality, I like your bluish-gray eyes that are so expressive and exotic. I like your smile that is so contagious and always fills my heart with joy, I like your chubby cheeks that I want to bite all the time and kiss senselessly.

Your hands that I feel for perfectly in mine, your swan-like neck that is so kissable and suckable. I like your waist that fits right between my arms, your voice, and your plump-"

"That’s enough, Maverick. I am getting shy now," I heard her sensual voice and couldn’t help but smile at her, feeling a blush creeping up my neck when I realized how detailed I was thinking of going.

"I am falling hard for you, Valencia. And I miss you already," I said.

I didn’t want to ask her to come to me immediately. She left for a reason. Besides, I really wanted to enjoy this feeling of going there, mollifying her to bring her back.

It just had a different feel to it. Like I was going to bring back my naughty wife who was throwing a tantrum.

I have seen my dad doing that a couple of times when my mom used to go to her friends to throw a tantrum, and I swear he was the happiest man while doing it.

I wanted to enjoy that feeling too. The fact that this was the first time I wanted to enjoy what my dad and mom used to have was speaking volumes of what my heart really wanted.

She didn’t say anything. I know it was hard for her. After what Carl said, I am sure she was contemplating what to say to me and I couldn’t help but feel joyful just at the thought that she was second-guessing her answers just for me.

If she didn’t really want to come, she would’ve denied it immediately, but the fact that she took a long pause was enough to give me hope.

"Don’t speak anything for now. We will meet soon, baby," I said before ending the call.

I did not want to, but with the ache I was feeling in my heart, it was just too much for me to handle at the moment.

I looked at my reflection in the window, looking back at the man staring at me, the man whose eyes were shining h brightly, the man who had a little smile playing on his lips and looked happy after such a long time, and couldn’t help but be grateful to Valencia in my heart.

The stupid girl probably doesn’t realize how precious she is to me. She probably doesn’t know how she is healing something she didn’t even break, how she is mending the relationship I had with myself in the past.

The girl doesn’t realize that she has now started to look like my last hope and only chance at happiness.

I looked at her photos on my phone before kissing my screen.

"I will make you fall in love with me, Valencia. No more games, only pure love. I will show you what this world couldn’t. I will give you what the people around you couldn’t and I promise when you’ll allow me to do that, you won’t want anyone else by your side.

This alpha Maverick and his wolf would be more than enough for you," I promised myself before taking a deep breath, feeling like a burden was lifted from my chest.

She was mine.
