Chapter 231: The masked man’s feelings

THIRD PERSON’S POV

In the adjacent building of Maverick and Valencia’s apartment, a man stood with his mask intact and a cigar in his hand.

He looked at the couple before him who were moving freely into Maverick’s apartment and couldn’t help but sigh.

For more than seven months, he had been looking for this girl, the girl who enchanted him with her beauty and softness.

He wanted to be good, not because he was a good man, but because she told him to.

She told him to live like a good gentleman, and he was ready to throw away his rogue life.

No. This feeling didn’t come to him suddenly.

It took him an entire week to understand he had fallen in love with the girl.

Her moist eyes were full of wariness and hope, with a kind of peace he had been looking for everywhere. Everything kept roaming in his head.

Even though the moment they shared was barely 15 minutes long, it was the most peaceful memory of his life despite the pain he was in.

There were so many emotions he realized he was feeling for the first time, but it was too late.

He returned to look for her and see where he had met her. Despite the struggles and risks because it was pack territory, he tried to look for the girl inside the pack.

When he couldn’t succeed, he bribed the guards to know about her, but to no avail could find her.

The thought of losing that one girl who made him feel there was hope for him, too, arched his heart.

He questioned himself for so long. How was it possible for him to feel such strong emotions for a girl he met briefly? It wasn’t sane.

Then again, nothing in his life was sane.

When he told his right-hand man what he felt, the first syllable that came out of their mouths was love.

They said he was in love.

Love.

It was such a foreign word to him. He never felt it, not for anyone or himself.

When was the last time someone touched his forehead and caressed him? When was the last time someone looked into his eyes and hoped he would be alright?

Even though he had met this girl briefly, she still hoped he would live. The emotions in her eyes were raw and pure.

She was hurt too. He could see in her eyes. But the way she chose to put her pain away to help him out...

The masked man placed his hand over his heart to calm his raging heart.

He never showed his weakness to his people. Though he trusted his people to never betray him, after learning his lesson seven months ago, he stopped showing emotions to them.

To them, he was their leader, nothing less, nothing more.

But to this girl... He was her worshiper.

Never in his life had he thought he would feel like this for anyone, but if she told him he needed to behead himself to show how much he respected her, he would do it gladly.

He didn’t know if what he was thinking was something any sane man would think of. He had looked for her for so long that everything sounded reasonable.

He had thought he would tell her how he had been trying to be good since she told him to, that he had taken the life she had given him well, and he had...

The masked man paused.

There was so much he wanted to say to her, but who would’ve thought that the moment he found her, she would be someone else’s already?

He didn’t know if the feelings in his heart for her were really romantic.

Yes, he felt jealous of everyone around her.

It has been exactly two months since he found her. It has taken every ounce of patience inside him not to go to her, remove his mask, and ask her to let him be her devotee.

He wanted her; he needed her, but not like Maverick wanted her, probably.

Or was he just confused?

Maybe he had never felt touched by her feelings, which was the reason behind his confused emotions.

Then again, the idea of her touching him and tainting her fingers with his rogue skin was terrifying to him.

He was a beast. She was a goddess in his eyes. How could he even imagine being touched by her?

The masked man blinked his eyes.

’Sir, what you feel towards her is beyond romantic. The kind of obsession you carry is beyond describable and what this world can understand. Are you sure you want to do this? Do you want to continue pursuing her? Can you handle the hate in her eyes when she finds out about you, about us?’

His right-hand man had asked him.

The masked man knew the question was correct in its way.

Sooner or later, the girl was bound to learn about him, his identity, and the people around him.

Will he be able to bear the hate in her eyes?

But can he stop?

It isn’t like he hadn’t tried to avoid her, to avoid looking for or thinking about her, but no matter what he does, the feelings are like a boomerang that becomes stronger.

It was a risk he wanted to take.

It was a risk for that 15-minute moment.

He wanted to hold her face between his hands and force her to look into his eyes, too.

The masked man blinked his eyes when he heard her unadulterated laugh.

"What’s cooking?" Valencia walked into the kitchen, where Alpha Maverick was cooking pasta for her. He didn’t want to feed her anything from outside.

"Just this and that," He whispered, concentrating hard on cooking so he could make her the best meal of her life.

Valencia furrowed her brows at the answer and hugged him from behind.

"Don’t disturb me when I am cooking. I need to make it good," Maverick said.

"Is that so?" She asked, amused.

"Mm, I am cooking it for my wife, so obviously, I want it to be the best," Maverick commented.

Valencia blushed at his words before clearing her throat.

She could see him focusing hard on stirring the gravy he was making and couldn’t help but feel mischievous.

"In this scenario, aren’t you my wife, and I am the jerk husband who can’t let his wife cook properly because he wants to act naughty?" Valencia asked.

Maverick’s lips twitched at her description.

However, he was definitely not prepared for her next move.

Valencia wrapped her hands around his waist before she pushed her hips forward, humping him from behind.

"Nice ass, hotty," She smacked Maverick’s butt, and the man turned around with raised brows and disbelief in his eyes.

"Seriously?" He asked.

Valencia chuckled.

"Well, I am the jerk husband. Obviously, I will act like a jerk," Valencia said before she humped him like a man again.

"Well, in that case, the husband should know that he has gotten an equally naughty wife," Maverick said before he left the spatula in the pan and turned her around swiftly, forcing her onto the clean side of the kitchen’s slab.

He stood behind her in a way his manhood rubbed on her hips, and Valencia blushed scarlet.

This wasn’t the outcome she was expecting.

"Well...um... Aren’t you worried about the food anymore? What if it gets spoiled?" Valencia asked.

Maverick smirked at the cute girl under him and couldn’t help but smile. He can’t even imagine what kind and amount of good things he did in his past life to get a life partner like this.

So what if she wasn’t his mate? It didn’t matter to him. The fact that she was here with him and chose to be with him was more than enough for him.

Rather than teasing her further, he hugged her from behind, pulling her close to his chest.

Valencia, who felt his emotions shifting from naughty and mischievous to emotional and romantic, sighed.

She turned around gently, hooking her hands around his neck.

"Why do you love me?" She asked, looking into his eyes.

Maverick smiled.

"There is nothing worth looking at in this world after I look into your eyes. I see my world in your eyes, my life with you, my future with you. You are my peace, my home. I had lost faith in love, but you restored that and showed me I could be a good man, too. Is that not enough?" Maverick asked.

Valencia placed her head on his chest, her heart picking its pace.

"But I didn’t even do anything? All I did was bring problems into your life," She whispered, hiding her face into his chest, snuggling her nose under his chest.

"And those problems made me realize I want to solve everything with you by my side," Maverick said.

Valencia smiled at his answer before she scowled.

"Hey! Do you agree that I only bring problems?" she asked, and Maverick chuckled.

"Mm, maybe?" He asked, amused, while Valencia smacked his hand playfully, utterly unaware of the man watching them and feeling jealous of their interactions.
