You Kissed My Soul novel Chapter 44

Aderyn Pov

I looked here and there surprised as well as shocked. Everyone was cheering and shouting wishing me. My eyes fell on Dylan who stood there before me with a smile on his face.

“How?” my voice croaked out.

He shrugged not answering me and came towards me wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

“I never told anyone about my Birthday. Then how?” I asked again

“I have come to know everything about you” he said and I was going to ask how but was interrupted when Jenny came and handed me a gift box and then hugged me wishing “Happy Birthday Luna”.

“Uh Th-Thank You” I told her while another gift box was handed to me by Bell.

“And this gift is from me” Bell said as she hugged me.

“Dyla-” I was cut off by Blake who took hold of my hand and pulled me with him screaming “C’mon everyone! Cake time” and we stood before a table on which there was a chocolate cake.

“C’mon Luna cut the cake” Cole insisted and I nodded taking the knife from him.

“Happy Birthday to you” everyone began to sing in chorus but as odd as it made me feel, I felt happy for I was celebrating my Birthday after a long time.

I was going to cut the cake when Bell interrupted stopping me “Wait! Wait! First make a wish and blow those candles” she told me and every one groaned hearing her.

“She isn’t a child” I heard someone from the crowd.

“Shut up! It’s the rule before you cut the cake. It’s Mandatory” she snapped making me chuckle.

“Mandatory?” Blake asked and scoffed at her.

“I don’t know anything. You don’t listen to them Luna. Make a wish now” Bell insisted and I shook my head at her smiling at her behavior but did as she told me to do.

I closed my eyes and made a wish.

I blew the candles and cut the cake while everyone cheered.

I took the first slice and looked around.

“Oh! I thought she was going to offer me first as I am her best friend” I heard Bell sulking in disappointment.

“Shut up Bell!” Jenny glared at her and signaled to keep quite.

“Dylan?” I asked and searched for him in the crowd.

“Awwww” everyone cooed.

“Shut up guys” I told them embarrassed as I could feel my cheeks burning, a tint of pink appearing on my cheek as I blushed.

“Alpha!” Cole called him for me and I saw as the crowd gave him space to get near me.

He raised an eyebrow at me undoubtedly teasing me and smiled at me walking towards me.

Every step he took I felt something different inside me. Suddenly I became to feel nervous. The piece of cake was still on my hand as I waited for him to reach me. But I felt like I was paralyzed, hypnotized by him as I stood rooted to my place. It was happening for the first time in my life. I felt as if everything was perfect. My life was being perfect. Somehow I felt a beacon of hope coming towards me which could pull me out of all those punishing dreams and memories.

And I was seeing Dylan as that beacon of hope.

I never realized when he reached me and stood right before me.

When I didn’t move he took hold of my hand and took it towards his mouth taking a bite of the cake. Then he took the piece out of my hand and offered me to eat. I smiled at him and took a bite not caring about the people who were awed by their King’s sweetness.

“Look here!” I heard a guy and looked towards him to find him holding a camera in his hand asking me and Dylan to pose for the picture.

I was reluctant but when Dylan wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to him I could no longer deny.

While the camera clicked taking our pictures, my mind was only thinking about Dylan’s arm. It felt so right to be on his arms. Every time he wrapped his arm around me I felt as if I no longer need to care or take tension about the world. I felt so safe whenever I was with him.

I gazed up at him while he posed and smiled for the camera.

I had been thinking about this from a very long time now.

“Am I really right Luna for you? Because I think you are too perfect for me. And it scares me that what if I don’t stand on to your expectations. I have failed so many times in my life that I have lost every confidence in me.”

“And I don’t think that I could be able to bear to loose you” I thought and while I felt my eyes getting watery I blinked several times to stop my tears from flowing and smiled looking at the camera.

“Why are not eating anything?” Bell asked as she kept her hand on mine looking worried.

“Don’t you like it? I thought it was your favorite” she said and I shook my head negatively stopping her to get even more worried.

“uh No! No! I love it” I said and the spicy spaghetti assuring her that nothing was wrong.

“It’s starting to get cold right? I could see you shivering” she told me and I nodded.

“How did you all get time to prepare all this?” I asked as I gestured towards the decoration and buffet system where people were having their lunch now.

She smiled and shrugged.

“It was King who did all this” she told me and I gave her a disbelieving look.

“You mean h-he did all this for me” I asked and she nodded grinning at me.

“The King wanted to see his mate happy. He did all this to show you how much you really mean to him” she said and I gulped down the water and stood up from my place.

“Hey! Where are you going leaving your food?” she asked and I looked around searching for Dylan. He needs to tell me how he got to know about my Birthday.

“To Dylan” I said and walked when I spotted him sitting with some guys far away from me.

“Of course” I heard Bell muttering and I winked at her before walking towards Dylan.

“Oh it’s the Queen!” I heard one of the guys speaking when I neared them.

All of them except Dylan stood up from their place bowing their head at me in respect.

“Long live the Queen” they said in chorus and I gave them a nervous smile feeling little awkward at all their way of addressing me.

“Dyl-” I was cut off by him when he pulled me down to him using my wrist and I fell on him sitting on his lap.

I gasped at our close proximity but glared at him when I noticed the guys still standing near us. As awkward it was for me to sit on the lap of my mate before them it was awkward for them to watch their own Queen and King being all touchy touchy in the public.

“Dylan!” I snapped and tried to stand only to be pulled back to him and I kept my hand on his shoulder for support.

“Leave me. What are you doing?” I whispered feeling embarrassed.

He smirked and to my horror pulled me even closer to him making me gasp.

“Look here!” I heard and turned my head towards the person only to see him clicking our picture in such a position.

“Oh no!” I tried to stop the guy but he carried on clicking pictures.

“Dylan stop him” I turned to Dylan but my breath got hitched when I found him already looking at me intensely.

“Dylan” I asked softly when he didn’t answer me. He was like paralyzed on his place.

Paralyzed just like me as I was some minutes ago.

“Please look here!” we heard the guy which caused us to break out of our little staring moment.

I shifted on his lap feeling embarrassed but stiffened when he held me tightly and asked the guy to take a good picture of us.

Nevertheless, I smiled at the camera and after two clicks Dylan unwrapped his arms from my waist and I took it the moment to get myself free. I stood up from my position and was ready to go back to Bell but was stopped when he held my hand stopping me from going anywhere.

I looked back at him and saw him standing up from his place.

“We will be back. Enjoy the party” he told the guys and they bowed their head at him.

And the next moment I was being dragged. I was trying hard to match his large steps.

“Dylan, where are we going?” I asked but received no answer from him.

“At least slow down” I asked which made him stop.

I looked up at him confused on what he was planning to do.

“Dyl-” I squealed when I felt him holding me by my waist and throwing me over his shoulder. The world seemed upside down to me and I dangled on his shoulder screaming for him to Put me down.

“Dylan What are you doing? Put me down” I swung my legs when I felt him wrapping his arms around my lower half.

“Dylan!” I snapped.

“Put me down this instant. Dylan put me down or else I am telling yo-” I felt him wrapping his arms across my back and I thought that maybe he was putting me down but I gasped when I felt my mouth being captured in a hungry kiss. I was still lifted up in the air while he wrapped his one arm on the back on my thigh and another on my back.

I was surprised.

I kept my hands on his shoulder when I felt him kissing my lower lip a few times and then he began to smooch me and kissed my upper lip hungrily and passionately.

I felt adrenaline pulsing through me and my palms felt clammy.

All of a sudden he put me down and I stumbled back but was saved by him holding my hands for support.

While I was out of breathe and I stood there staring at him with wide eyes and huffing out air from my lungs and tried to steady my fast beating heart, he stood there perfectly fine only staring at my lips which I was sure that were red and swollen by now.

I removed my hand from his hand hold and turned around. All of a sudden confusion marred my face wanting to know why he kissed me.

I could feel my limbs shaking and my breaths were still coming out in shorts.

I felt same as I felt when I did skydiving for the first time.

I could literally feel myself blushing deep red but then I began to feel excited. I wanted to feel what I felt again. I wanted so badly to feel those tingles again on my body.

So, I did what I wanted to do.

I turned around and took hold of his shirt collar and pulled him down to my level.

“Kiss me” I said and kissed him full on his lips making him surprise this time.

Few seconds later I felt him wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer to him and soon we were kissing each other passionately like never before. I left his collar and wrapped my arms around his neck while he roamed his hands on my back pulling me impossibly closer. Every time I stopped for breathing he pulled me back to him kissing me even more passionately and hungrily.

Soon I felt him kissing the sides of my lips and his mouth trailed down towards my neck and I felt his lips on my pulsing vein on my neck while I stood their leaning against him feeling his warm body close to mine.

I don’t know about him but I, I was totally a goner.
