Reiji expected his dear mate to scramble in fear or be weirded out just a little—but no, she didn't. Instead, she became excited, asking questions. He swears she look so adorable with her eyes lit up and with a smile gracing her lips. How can he even resist those eyes?

"Ne, you can transform? Can you give me a ride in your wolf form? Do you know others the same as you? Are you living in a pack like normal wolves do? Where do you live? How old are you? Why are your eyes golden? Are you really a werewolf like those in the legends I've heard?"

He chuckled, silencing his mate. "Well, I'm not necessarily answering all your questions, but yes, you can ride on my back in wolf form, but not today, yes, I know many just like me, I live in a pack, somewhere in the woods, I'm fifteen, and my eyes are really golden,"

"Woah," Lilac said, amazed. "But how come you told me your secret?"

Knowing that she won't fully understand yet Reiji took advantage of this and straightforwardly answered her. "Because you're my mate,"

"Mate? What's that?"

"It's someone that you'll cherish, need, love and take care forever until you die," Reiji explained.

"And I'm your mate?"

"Yes, Lily."

"So...you're here to stay with me forever?"

"Yes."

"Promise you won't leave?"

"Promise."
