Chapter 145 - Mine…

-Stefan-

I can’t remember the last time I had been so happy that I could die the next day.

But of course, I would rather live than die. Especially, after what Angeline had just said to me.

“Claim me.”

I stared at her and she just stared back. I am not quite sure if I even heard her right. I sat in front of her, as she leaned on her chair amusement gracing her face and yet, I couldn’t even ask her if I heard her right.

Silence hovered over us but the only one uncomfortable in the whole situation was me. Because she has everything to gain and I have everything to lose including her. And yet at that moment, I was willing to risk it all and surrender if she meant those two words I think I heard her say.

“I’m sorry?” I asked as my impatience won over me. “Can you repeat just what you have said, please?”

A soft chuckle escaped her lips as my question lingered around us.

“Why?” she teases while every part of me tenses.

She is my sun, my moon, the very air I breathe that keeps me alive.
