Chapter 70: Guilty

Lyra continued to cry in Blake’s embrace for some more time. She didn’t understand herself because it was not her personality to feel so weak and frantic. Her heart ached remembering Killian’s pleading face as she rejected to go along with him.

She leaned on Blake’s chest and felt guilty for feeling like this, now that she was here with Blake, this feeling she was feeling was real, she truly loved the man she was embracing now, even after accepting Noah and Lucas, she knew that she liked them but was not sure whether she loved them, so she never said I love you.

Lyra felt bad for doing that to them, but her heart refused to say that to them, whereas with Blake, it was easy for her to utter those words.

She pulled away from him and looked into his eyes "What is happening to me? Please explain this, I feel like I’m losing my mind"

Blake caressed her face and took a deep breath "Will you believe me if I say that Killian is your soulmate?"

"Soulmate?"

He nodded his head "Killian is a black panther and males from his tribe have predestined mates. It so happend that you are his mate, that is why you are feeling like this"

Lyra frowned "But I’m not even someone from this world"

"I don’t know how it happend" He lied to her because he knew that she was not ready to absorb all the truth surrounding her.

"It may be a mistake" she reasoned

Blake shook his head and smiled bitterly "Your emotions towards Killian are the proof that you are his mate. He must be feeling double the frustration because you turned him down"

She held her forehead "Now I feel bad"

"I’m okay Lilly" Blake blurted out making her confused. He peered into her eyes and spoke "I understand your misery, so go and talk to him"

"You, what are you talking about?" Lyra asked in disbelief.

Blake bent his head "I can sense your discomfort, you want to go but you are holding yourself back because of me" he lifted his head and looked at her "It makes me feel pathetic, I want to be someone who can make you happy, not miserable"

"You are not making me feel miserable" she denied it. "I’m doing this for myself, I can’t bear to look at that stranger, I feel like I love him and that is what is making me miserable. so stop pushing me to him, I can accept Noah, Lucas, Victor, and even Demir, but not that guy"

"Why?" he questioned

"Because I feel like I will fall in love with him!" she screamed with red eyes.

Blake held her shoulders and pulled her towards him "It’s fine Lilly, I-im fine" his voice stuttered at the end.

He was worried because he knew that staying away from Killian for a long time may cause her soul-sickness, it was inescapable for soulmates. But because she was female, it was bearable, whereas it was not the same for Killian, he was afraid that Killian would commit something horrible in his anger.

"Lilly listen to me, You must converse with Killian, once the soul-sickness begins, it will be very hard to control him" Blake informed

"What do you mean?" she questioned

Blake narrowed his eyes and spoke "Being soulmates, you both will go through soul-sickness if you are separated because of conflict. It is very painful for males and knowing Killian’s temper, that pain might turn into something more dangerous and might harm both of you. so try to talk to him, alright?"

Lyra’s eyes flickered "Do I have to?"

Blake clenched his fist and replied "It is only talking"

She nodded her head "Okay"

Blake embraced her then he pulled back and exited the room and went down using stone steps to the living room. As soon as he reached, he witnessed Killian on the ground holding his chest.

He strode towards him and said indifferently "Lilly is asking for you"

Killian whisked his head and widened his eyes "Re-really?"

Seeing Blake nodding his head, he rushed upstairs to the second floor.

His heart was beating erratically as he stepped inside the room. Lyra was leaning on her knees when he entered, she lifted her head and stared at him in silence, then she stretched her arms asking for a hug. Killian’s face bloomed and he paced towards the bed embracing her.

Both of them hugged each other tightly not wanting to get separated, Lyra sighed in relief as her heart finally calmed down in his presence, she didn’t understand the logic behind soulmates because it felt natural and right for her to be in Killian’s arms. On another side, Killian felt comforted in her presence, this feeling was so exhilarating for him, he never wants to get detached from her.

"My mate....." his relieved voice trailed off making Lyra smile.

"Are you feeling better now?" She asked as she continued to stroke his back.

"Hmm" his deep voice responded to her "I felt like dying when you left me there"

"I’m sorry, I was overwhelmed with all the new emotions that I was feeling" she atoned

Killian tightened his hold around her waist "Don’t do that again, I might lose myself next time" he was not joking when he said those words, he truly felt himself going crazy, he for once even thought about killing Blake and abducting her, he was never the one to care about others but he held himself back because his mate loved that snake.

Lyra understood the underlying warning in his words and chuckled "Are you threatening me?"

He slightly pulled back from her and nodded his head "Yes I am"

she tilted her head "You are not even denying it"

Killian raised his brows "Why should I? I don’t like the idea of faking in front of you, I want you to love me the way I am"

"Even if I hate you for that?" She questioned curiously

He frowned and thought about it "I’d rather you hate me than love the fake me"

Lyra blinked her eyes "You are quite different"

"Do you not like that?" he questioned as he leaned towards her.

She chuckled "I like it"

Killian grinned and pecked her lips "As expected, my mate is just like me, she is incredible"

"Narcissist" she snickered jokingly

He chuckled and caressed her face "I love you"

Lyra gulped "I love you too" those words naturally flowed out of her mouth.

Killian smiled widely "Don’t force yourself, I can wait for you"

She shook her head "That is how I’m feeling right now, it is not forced"

He leaned on her shoulder "Thank you for coming into my life, you know exactly how to talk to me"

Lyra kneaded his black hair "I’m learning"

"I’m glad" he answered back "Or I was going to remove everyone else away from you, then you would only love me"

"Killian" she warned him "I’m willing to accept you for who you are, so I want you to do the same for me"

"I’ll try" he replied vaguely

Lyra frowned and continued to stroke his head. Dealing with him was more problematic than she imagined but she still loved him, it was almost unbearable to stay away from this dangerous desire.
