Chapter 22

Kelly looked at Alan's luxurious room and then turned to the man who was opening his suit.

"From the way your father talked to me like he didn't mind, can you see that he approves of us?"

Alan smiled, unbuttoned his shirt and rolled up his sleeves. He walked over to Kelly and held her close from behind.

"Approved, sweetheart. I told you that Daddy wouldn't be able to refuse my wishes, didn't I? You've also managed to win his heart so my father won't be messing around if he already asks about when we intend to take it further to the level of marriage," he said as he kissed Kelly's neck warmly.

Kelly swallowed and then turned her head to find Alan kissing her warmly.

"Shouldn't we go to the clan first to help and carry out the attack? If we've finished the business there then we'll have the wedding. It'll be safe because there's nothing else to get in the way," Kelly said making Alan smile softly and look at her with a deep gaze.

"Don't think I don't know what you're really thinking," Alan replied, making Kelly raise her eyebrows. "You deliberately wanted to go to the clan first and clean up all the mess. Because remember that originally I was also looking for you to help me settle things in the clan. You wanted to test if I wouldn't do the same and still continue our relationship if my clan was safe. Is that so? I know what your intentions are, darling, don't think I don't know what you're really thinking."

Kelly paused, then turned around and looked seriously at Alan's face. "If we get married first, you won't have a chance to choose who will be your partner. Then what if something happens to me? You know, it will only make you lose the chance to get a partner who will really live with you forever. I don't mind doing all that as gratitude because you've given me the substitute attention and affection that I've never received from anyone.

"Maybe these few days we can continue our relationship as usual, but marriage should not be with me. I'm willing to help you take care of the clan and make things peaceful by using my life. You remember, if you use your feelings too much and pour out too much love for me it will become a problem because you won't be able to bear to see me sacrifice too much. You will take care of me by sacrificing too much, you will definitely not let me sacrifice my life. You think first if only I sacrifice my life to get peace, will you choose me or the clan?"

Alan looked deeply into Kelly's face before he finally lifted her up and laid her on the bed.

"I won't leave you alone to deal with the troubles and attacks in our clan." Alan said as he slid his hand into Kelly's thigh. "We will fight together and with the soldiers I have prepared. You're just a complement to the attacks we make, not the main attacker who makes Maros lose his life alone. I will also be the attacker and be in the front guard with you. No one wants to sacrifice in that war including me, don't think too far."

Kelly paused, then sighed. This man was too good, she just didn't expect and was a little unprepared to marry him for fear of disappointing him. She didn't know what to do to get her assignment. So far, she has always used the reciprocal system and that someone must give her a favor must make sacrifices in order to get everything more real.

While in this matter Alan respected and loved her even before she fought, she was too beautiful and would end up miserable. What if later when the war was going on she couldn't even protect and defend her own life? This man would lose her as a wife and that would only be a big problem for his life and status in the human world.

"Are you sure? I'm sure I can stay alive and survive, what if I die?"

Alan gave her a deep look that made Kelly swallow, maybe this time Alan would scold her. So far she has talked a lot and acted a lot, right? There was no way Alan would be patient with Kelly who had nothing.

"Luna..." called Alan in a soft voice that made Kelly gulp. "Stop thinking about something that isn't going to happen. You'll only burden your own heart and mind."

Kelly fell silent, making Alan kiss her forehead gently.

"Rest, sleep here with me."

Kelly touched the man's burly arm. "Why don't you ever scold me when I doubt your feelings?"

Alan looked at her then raised an eyebrow. "You want me to scold you, hmm?"

Kelly was silent for a while. "At least show me that you have another side so I can trust you more. You being too nice also makes me feel weird, I've been saying questionable words to you for the past few days so you can't possibly not take offense unless kwu has no heart."

Alan smiled softly then moved to sit next to Kelly. "I've never been in a relationship and you're my first girlfriend," Alan said making Kelly look at him. "I have no right to scold you just because you're thinking about my favor. You asked me to think again and postpone the wedding until we resolve all the things in the clan. I know that you're testing me but you don't need to say words like that that will hurt your own heart. I'm also still learning a lot to live the relationship better, I have absolutely no intention of just using you. I'm sincere so show you all the things I can."

Kelly looked at her who had looked down and smiled, it made her say softly. "But I don't believe it, I hate it because I have trust issues, you're too kind to make me feel unreal. In this world it's very difficult to find someone who is truly sincere, Alan. I'm just afraid of being blown away when it's comfortable. Honestly, until now I still fortify myself not to enjoy whatever you give me too much, that's because I'm afraid I'll end up breaking my own heart," said her with an honest look that made Alan silent for a moment.

"There are no things that are too beautiful in this world because everything uses sacrifice. I'm just afraid that when the time comes, you'll just let me go. I've suffered for too long, it feels so suffocating. You know what I mean, right? I was just scared, that's why I never really realized to myself that all of this was real. I had a hard time reconciling with my own mind, like getting a strong and powerful Alpha husband and a handsome wealthy CEO, it was too impossible for me who wasn't a great woman.

"Cinderella's story is even inferior and not very interesting compared to me I'm just afraid that someday I'll wake up and you'll say harsh words to me and make me realize that I really don't deserve to be with you because me and you have different lives. Although I'm a Luna but I don't have any power even in the human world, how is it appropriate for a woman like this to continue to accompany you."

Alan nodded slowly. "You're right, but who you say that is based on your judgment of the human world. The human world is like that, different from the wolf world. An Alpha who is already in love with Luna will not care whether she is beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, useful or not. He will still love Luna with all his heart because that is nature," Alan said making Kelly sigh.

"You've lived in the human world for so long, haven't you been contaminated?"

"I use my nature in matters of love," Alan said making Kelly raise her eyebrows. "If I were contaminated, you would have found tons of women who became my exes. But I've never been heard of having a relationship with any woman, right? What does that mean? I never intended to do what humans do. I will only fall in love with my Lunaku and you are the Lunaku I've been watching for a long time. I fell in love and became entangled with you, unable to break away because you were the only human who would be my mate."

Kelly sighed softly. "Really?"

Alan lowered his head, kissed her lips and held them soulfully. Kelly who was kissed closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying that Alan was doing it soulfully.

"We're going to get married in the near future so you can take my word for it."
