Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 108

Lauren's POV

I just froze there, completely stunned. I just sat still and for a few minutes, I felt like I was so shocked that I couldn't even move. I thought we would have a lot to say when Kent and I first met. But when he really woke up, I became overwhelmed and awkward, not knowing what to say. We were so close to each other that I could even see his dense eyelashes and his emerald eyes as my tears rolled down my cheeks.

The moonlight gently shone on our faces.

As we locked eyes, my heart skipped a beat and started racing. At that moment, a voice came into my head, saying, "Mate... This alpha in front of you is your destined mate. And you belong with each other." Then Bella also growled in my mind, "Mate!"

I had never had this kind of magical experience before, a deadly attraction both physically and psychologically. I couldn't wait to be in his embrace and to be wrapped around his peppermint scent. I wanted him to mark me and I wanted to mark him so he could be my alpha once and for all.

I once prayed to the Moon Goddess not to let me meet my mate because I hated and feared what it would be like to be tied to a relationship. I was afraid that I would lose myself in it. I didn't understand why people would lose themselves in love, which seemed so vain and surreal to me. They would sacrifice themselves and trust each other with their lives. And I started to get it now. I could feel that meeting my mate was the most wonderful thing that would ever happen to me. My heart was pounding loudly right now. Something I had been suppressing for a long time was finally woken up at this very moment.

And right now, even time seemed to get longer.

There were so many things I wanted to say but all I could say was, "Hello, Kent."

"Hi, Lauren, my...beautiful mate," Kent smiled. He was staring fondly at me while he spoke but not in a flirtatious way. His gaze was full of affection and longing, "Victor can't stop talking about how beautiful, wonderful and unique you are. And now that I finally get to meet you..." My heart skipped a beat.

"He was telling the truth," Kent complimented me sincerely with his emerald eyes glistening, "I finally have the chance to meet you, Lauren. I've been waiting for this for too long."

"Me too," I couldn't help smiling, "you're a bit different than I expected."

Kent raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why?"

"You're bolder and more outgoing, I guess," I chuckled. Then I suddenly thought of what Victor had said and the fact that Kent just called me his mate, "We thought the first thing you would say to me when we met would be 'hello"." "Isn't it true?" he and Victor seemed to have a little discussion in their head and Kent raised his eyebrows, "is that so...what a guy. I just added 'my mate' and it was right, isn't it? I promise that's exactly what Victor's been thinking." Victor seemed to be a little annoyed and his eyes turned back to golden. He warned, "Kent."

"Alright, I won't say that again."

"I'm just giving you control of my body temporarily."

"You've spent enough time with our mate. It's my turn now. Don't cut in."

"You're the one who had been asleep all this time."

"And I did that for you, you jerk. Now it's your turn to have a good nap now. Right now I wanna spend some time with our mate, Victor, we made a deal."

I didn't know what kind of deal they had made but Victor really let Kent take control. I couldn't help laughing when I saw these two bickerings and Kent smiled too. I had never seen such a bright smile on Victor's face before and he looked more lively than ever. "What deal?"

"He's spent too much time with you before and it's my turn now," Kent held me in his arms and said, "Victor has done a lot of things with you while I was asleep so we've agreed that he will give me more time to make up for all the fun we've missed."

I finally came back to my senses. In the beginning, I was still sitting by Victor's bed but somehow I was in his arms, lying with him right now. Even though I was kind of embarrassed, I didn't want to get up and got a little attached to his nice smell. I looked up at him and asked, "That's it?"

Victor couldn't stand it anymore and took back control, "I've never agreed to that. I only said that you can come out and say hello to Lauren. Besides, this is not the deal we made."

It was like Kent had woken up another side of Victor. I covered my mouth as I snickered and asked, "Back in the forest, Kent was the one who showed up, connected with me, and saved my life, right?"

I guessed this was their deal.

Kent nodded and his eyes were filled with fear and worry, "Fortunately, Bella has explored my inner world before. Or else we couldn't have sensed that you were in danger and connected with you. Thank goddess we made it."

I knew it wasn't just an illusion!

"Thank you, Kent," I said from the bottom of my heart. His embrace really comforted me and no one knew how excited and relieved I was when I heard Kent's voice in my head. He was the one who chased my fear away at that moment.

"I'm the one who should be thanking you, Lauren," Kent lowered his head and gave me a kiss on the forehead, "you're the reason why I woke up so fast."

At that moment, Kent showed up in time and saved my life and I woke Kent up. Maybe this was what mates were all about.

"Oh, that's enough. We're not kids anymore. Let's get physical or do something more meaningful."

"What?"

Kent put his hand on the back of my neck and kissed me on the lips carefully. Even though they shared the same body, Kent kissed way differently than Victor did. When Kent kissed me, his tongue would tangle up with me tenderly. He would take it slow when he nibbled my lips and took my breath away. He used his passionate kiss to express how much he longed for me and our heavy breaths sounded erotic in this quiet room.

We kissed each other hard and couldn't wait to taint each other with our scents.

He put his hands on my ears and pinched my earlobes softly. His eyes were filled with obsession and tenderness as he spoke in a husky voice, "I can't wait to run in the forest with you and Bella and take an adventure into your secret cabin."

Before I could say anything, his eyes turned back to golden again. It was Victor. His eyes darkened and I could tell when he was a little discontent when he kissed me again. He twirled my earlobes softly and sent shivers down my spine. He nibbled my lips and was a little rough like he was competing with someone. I was a bit out of breath and before I could take a break, he kissed me hard again. They kept taking control of his body and gave me no time to think about anything else...

Realizing we were still in the ward, I hastily pushed Kent away but he clearly didn't get enough because I could tell from his eyes that he was disappointed.

"That's enough for a thank-you gift and let me remind you, you've just had a surgery, alpha."

Kent was a little disappointed, "We recover faster when our mate's around and kissing really speeds up the recovery."

I patted his cheeks tenderly and said, "I'm your attending doctor."

"Now, I want you to have a good rest," I got up from Kent's embrace and smiled, "besides, there's another piece of news I wanna tell you, your surgery is a great success. Congratulations to both of you." Kent gave me a big smile, "We've always believed in you and we've never doubted you."

I couldn't help but chuckle.

In Kent's gaze, I leaned in for a kiss and said, "And there's another thing I forgot to say to you." "Welcome back, Kent."
