Silence left them because Taros always knew how to lift heavy moods. Before long, she found herself forgetting her worries and relaxing. Then, out of nowhere, he asked her a question she never saw coming.
"Have you thought of going into a relationship?"
Angela stared at him in surprise. At first, she had never wanted a relationship. But now, knowing her path had somehow become tied to the four Alphas, her heart and mind were starting to change. It was no longer just about her. It was for the kingdom too. "I have. I will welcome it anytime it comes."
Taros seemed impressed by her answer. He took a deep breath, as though the next words were heavy on his heart. She waited for him to speak, her chest tight with curiosity.
"I love you, Angel."
Her jaw dropped. Of all the things she thought he would say, this wasn't one of them. For a moment she even looked around to see if he was speaking to someone else. But there was no one. He really meant her.
