"I am." He replied, voice soft and slow. "I am." He pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.
Lilli looked up at him "But you I" she stuttered.
"What?" He asked softly, biting his lip.
"I'm just a human and your on your way to becoming Alpha" she said.
"Yeah… so?" He replied, looking down at her.
"I'm just after all these years and You like me back?" she asked.

"I've liked you for years Emerson" she said.
He blinked. "Oh. I uh…didn't know that."
Lilli gulped and tried to move away out of embarrasment.
He sighed softly. "I'm sorry."
"For?" she asked looking at him.
"Not telling you that you were my mate. I…was worried you wouldn't respond well." He replied.
She sat on her knees on the bed. She cupped both his cheeks "That's completely fine You were scared" she said.
He nodded slowly. "Alright." He replied, leaning into her hands a little.
She smiled gently and stroked his cheek with her thumb.
He leaned forward, kissing her forehead lightly.
