Chapter 320: Returning to human form

VALENCIA’S POV

I looked at myself in the mirror, feeling relief for the umpteenth time.

It had been five days since I saw my human form, and I was already missing it.

I walked on my long legs, twirling on it.

"For someone who was only gone for five days, you surely are exaggerating and acting like you have been imprisoned in the car form for a decade," Aurora commented, and I rolled my eyes.

’You won’t understand how hard it was for me,’ I whispered before wearing my jacket.

As I was about to leave the room to surprise Maverick, who was probably on the ground floor and meeting with his men, I saw my phone vibrating.

It was an unknown number.

"Hello?" I asked.

"I heard someone has been looking for me," The familiar cold and deep voice resounded, and I took a deep, shaky breath.

Good. It was the perfect time for me to return to my human form.

"Indeed, Mr –" I drew out.

"Have you forgotten my name already?"

I could hear the edginess in his voice and smirked.

"I mean, should I call you the rogue head of the northern regions or just plain Mr. Axile?" I asked.

The man scoffed.

"So you found out," He said.

It was my turn to scoff this time.

"Since you have been stalking me, you should’ve known what kind of army I keep with me. Were you looking down on my alpha-blooded rogues?" I asked, and the man paused.

I heard him take a deep breath before he hummed.

"I have indeed underestimated you, my lady. Where would you like to meet?" He asked, and I licked my bottom lip.

I didn’t feel it was okay to make this decision without keeping Maverick in the picture.

With my last stunt with the skinwalkers, I wanted to be cautious about everything and prevent my powers from being provoked.

For that, I needed to avoid any situation in which I would need to fight or unleash my powers to protect myself or where my authority would be questioned because, for some reason, my powers think they are some high and mighty things.

"Is this your number?" I asked.

When the man hummed, I told him I would call him back in a few minutes or text him the location to meet. He would tell me when he would be available for the meeting because I was sure he wasn’t free to be available all the time.

After ending the call, I left the room and went to Maverick’s office.

I knocked on his door and opened the door as soon as I heard ’come in.’

"Mitsuki," Maverick raised his brows and stood from his chair.

"You are back," He gushed before coming and hugging me as tight as he could.

I felt suffocated in his alpha grip and smiled helplessly, feeling my face turning red.

I was okay with him hugging me for a few seconds, but when he didn’t leave, and I almost felt like I would pass out from lack of oxygen, I couldn’t help but remind him I was a human and not a piece of log.

"L-let go," I patted his biceps a couple of times until he released me, and I breathed heavily to catch my breath.

"Sorry, I was just so excited," Maverick chuckled boyishly, scratching his head. I smiled before looking at Liam and Shadow.

They bowed to me, and I nodded at them before they excused themselves.

"I hope I didn’t interrupt anything," I said.

Maverick shook his head.

"Nothing at all. When did you return?" He asked me.

I told him I was back into my human form when I woke up, so I took a quick bath to remove the feline smell from my body and came to meet him immediately after that.

He hugged me again before cupping my cheeks.

"I missed you," He whispered, and I chuckled before touching his cheeks.

"Why would you miss me? Wasn’t I here all the time?" I asked, remembering how he used to sleep while hugging me like I was a toddler to make up for my absence. The blush that appeared on his face made me chuckle.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked me, looking at me earnestly.

"Have I ever been able to stop you?" I asked, and he smiled before pulling me closer and placing his lips on mine.

It was just a subtle touch; his control killing me already.

Not being able to take his teasing as I was growing impatient, I placed my hand on the back of his neck and pressed myself into him, kissing him deeply.

He didn’t hesitate to take the lead and started moving his lips against mine at a tempo.

I opened my mouth softly, bringing out my tongue to lick his lips, and he groaned.

"Dang it, Mitsuki, you can’t help but tease me, can you?" Maverick groaned before he lifted me, making me wrap my legs around his torso.

He kissed me deeply, pushing his tongue into my mouth, and I reciprocated with an equal intensity since this was something that I had been missing for real.

Drinking in each other’s musky scent, we kissed for an hour but were only a few minutes. Our chests heaved together, and he placed his hand on my boobs immediately.

"You have no idea how much I missed these big babies," He said before dipping his head and pecking my nipples over my top.

My heart skipped a beat, and I cleared my throat to calm down my arousal, which was indeed peaking.

"Well, someone was satisfied with multiple boobs," I commented, and he chuckled, remembering when he asked me how many boobs I had as a cat.

"Uhh, I can never grow tired of teasing you," he commented.

I placed my head on his shoulders as we sat there, hugging him and him caressing my back.

"I have to meet the rogue head of the northern regions," I said.

Maverick lifted his head and looked into my eyes. I shrugged to let him know that it was something I had to do.

"About the pendant?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Can you tell me why you are so concerned about it?" he asked me, and I took a deep breath.

Why was I so hellbent on it?

"Because he tried to humiliate me. Prince Ethan should get what he deserves. But more than that, I do it because I relate to the story. What if the original prince is alive somewhere? Who knows what kind of condition he has been living in?" I asked before I sat straight.

"I mean, if possible, after knowing I didn’t belong to the Hazel Moon pack, I had really wished that someone had tried to look for me from the phoenix blood pack. Maybe my life would’ve been different. I know what it feels like to be wronged like this. Also, Prince Ethan will keep plotting against us because, after the heir to the throne, he has the most threat from you," I explained.

Maverick nodded in understanding.

We were still investigating the last attack on us, not to mention how I almost lost my life during that bow and arrow competition. It was obviously planned.

"Fine. But you are not going alone," Maverick said.

I smiled at my man before humming.

"I never intended to go alone, my cutie patootie future husband," I whispered.

I saw his eyes going wide, and he cupped my cheeks.

"What did you just call me?" he asked.

"Cutie patootie?" I asked.

"No. After that,"

"My?" I asked, basking in his frustration.

"Come on, baby," he urged.

I smiled before raising my body slightly. Kissing his left cheek, letting my lips linger on his skin for an extended second, I smiled before looking into his amber eyes.

"My future husband," I said.

He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Can you call me husband instead?" he groaned in the crook of my neck, and I chuckled.

"Well, I don’t see a ring on my finger that—" I started, but I stopped talking with a gasp when I felt something cold slide into my finger.

I raised my finger, my gaze falling on the beautiful bluish-gray diamond-encrusted ring, and I couldn’t help but gulp at its massive size.

"Now you have a ring on your finger," Maverick said.

"You know you can’t just do it like that. There is a complete procedure for it," I said, and he hummed.

"I know. That’s why I gave you this temporary ring for the time being. I will give you my mother’s heirloom ring when I propose to you before everyone. It will be beautiful," Maverick said, and I smiled.

"Does that mean I will have to arrange a ring for you too?" I asked, and he chuckled when I wriggled my brows.

"No. I would rather prefer a ring here," he cupped my abdomen, tickling my belly button, and I giggled at his insinuation.

"Is that so?" I teased him.

I haven’t told him, but I already had a ring prepared for him. I designed it myself and sent it to the jeweler because I wanted it to have my own touch.

I can’t wait to see his reaction when it is ready.
