Female NovelChapter 144
“Hunter, you don’t love me, you only feel grateful because I saved your life.” Lilac even surprised whenshe heard what she said, but that was what she was thinking. Grateful. He was only being gratefultoward her because of her, he was still alive right now.
Sometime, gratefulness could be dangerous. It would shackle you and you didn’t know what to doaside from trying to repay your debt.
Lilac knew that feeling, because she used to feel grateful toward what luna Jasmine did to her and itwas hard to stand up against her. She was a mother figure that she had never had.
“Grateful?” Hunter’s eyes dimmed and this made Lilac’s heart lurched. “You only deemed my feeling asa gratefulness?”
Lilac felt her blood drained from her face when Hunter stared at her intensely. She lowered her headbecause she couldn’t hold his gaze. It was the first time she saw him very serious and to be honest, itscared her a little.
For a moment, there was this deafening silent between them, until Hunter took a deep breath andtouched her cheek. His voice softened this time, it seemed, he managed to overcome whatever turmoilhe had.
“I am not feeling grateful toward you, Lilac. I am not a child, who is confused by their own feeling.”Hunter put his finger under her chin and persuaded her to look at him. “I want you. I always thoughtabout you ever since the day I saw you last when we were little. I thought about you every now andthen after that.
But, I don’t have any idea how to find you, neither I knew where to start to look for you. Only if I knewone day I will meet you again, I would have never done something so stu pid as playing with otherwomen.
This might sound as an excuse, but the way lycan saw relationship and how werewolf did, iscompletely different. I think, you already knew that too.”
That was right, the lycan was always liberal with their feeling, they didn’t have a mate bond that wasgifted to them, a blessing from the moon goddess, that was why the werewolf looked down on themand saw the way they didn’t save. themselves for their other half as barbaric.

about them.
“I chose you not because I felt grateful, of course, I am grateful because I am alive, but I don’t need torepay something like that when you yourself didn’t even remember those events until I told you about
it.”
That was also right. If Hunter didn’t say anything, Lilac wouldn’t have known there were such historiesbetween them. He didn’t need to hang over something that happened years ago, something that onlyhim, who knew about.
“Lilac…”
Hunter called her name very gently, which made Lilac wanted to tear up, because she longed for suchtenderness and sincerity.
“I know what you think.” Of course, Hunter could read what was in her mind now she had spoken it up.“I am not that bas ta rd Aiden. I am not him and I will never be him. I will not stoop so low to betray you.It has nothing to do with my gratefulness or the fact that you saved my life. I don’t need that feeling tobe sure that I love you.”
Lilac bit her lips, she wanted to believe that so bad, but there was still this tiny doubt in her heart. Ah…she didn’t know how much Aiden had hurt her until now. What he had done left a deep scar in her,which made a single provocation ruined. everything that she believed.novelbin

“Let’s do the ceremony,” Hunter said. “I will
” Hunter said. “I will prepare the ceremony and you will be my luna officially. No one would be able tosay otherwise.”
Hunter would do anything to put Lilac’s mind at ease and he wanted her to be safe with him. He knew itwould take time to make Lilac believed him completely and after what that darn woman said to her, itwould make thing rocky between them.
Yet, Hunter was willing to put all of the effort to win her.
Lilac simply nodded. It lifted a little bit of her worry. “Hunter, if you chose not to choose me anymore, Idon’t have anyone… I will be alone.”
“I will always choose you, Lilac. No matter what happened, I will always choose you, little one, even ifthe stake was myself.” Hunter hugged her. His woman was trembling in his arms and he felt how softand small she was. She was very fragile at this moment and this ached his heart to think what she hadto go through or what kind of negative thought that hunted her down.
In the end, they stayed like that for over two hours, the silent between them was very comforting, it wasnot awkward at all, if anything they really needed this silent.

“You said, there is something you wanted to tell me…” Lilac finally broke the silent between them. Shelifted her head and looked at Hunter. Her voice was a little bit rough and her eyes were slightly red, butshe looked better after she voiced out her worriness.

“What is it?” Lilac felt the alarm went off in her head when she saw this look on

“This is about your father.” Hunter wanted to postpone this conversation because of her breakdowncarlier, but he didn’t think that was the right decision to make. “I know that you said you will ask me ifyou are ready to know about him, but… will
