A Beautiful Luna After Rejection-Chapter 270 - Coaxed To Sleep

Cecily’s POV:

“Did you say that?” When I listened to Michael talk about how the face of the king froze, I chuckled. “You’re too much. You’re going to drive the Lycan King crazy. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

“I guess so.” Michael had already brought me back under the blanket when he said this.

Under the blanket’s cover, we hugged each other’s naked bodies. We didn’t make love. We just felt each other’s body warmth and said sweet nothings. This feeling was both beautiful and warm.

“What happened after that?” I asked.

“He sat back in his chair with an ashen face, but there was nothing he could do. He didn’t dare to lose his temper with me in front of my mother. However, it was obvious that his plan to arrange the marriage of his two sons had failed. Brandon did not marry a noble lady as he had hoped, and neither did I,” Michael said.

“That’s a pity.” There wasn’t a single hint of regret in my tone.

Michael chuckled and stroked the mark on the back of my neck with his finger as if he was petting a cat.

Ever since we’d marked each other, it had almost become a habit of Michael’s. It was undeniable that I felt good when he touches me.

I snapped out of my reverie and felt a familiar touch on the back of my neck.

It was Michael’s finger. I tilted my head and looked at the pillow. I didn’t know when Michael started touching me, but he intimately asked me to lean my head against him.

I followed his posture and snuggled into his arms, one hand on his shoulder.

Michael spoke sleepily and lazily, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“I can’t sleep. And it’s almost dawn,” I whispered. “Didn’t you say we still have a party to attend?”

When Michael heard what I said, he took his watch from the bedside, looked at the time, then put it back. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

“It’s still early. The party will only start in the morning. Go to sleep.”

“Okay.” I leaned on Michael and closed my eyes, but I still didn’t feel sleepy.

After a long while, Michael suddenly said, “You still can’t sleep?”

“Yes,” I replied in a low voice.

Suddenly, I felt a little guilty. Michael was my mate. I was next to him, and he must be able to sense my state. If I couldn’t sleep, I guessed he couldn’t sleep either.

I yawned and tried to make myself sleepy. “I’m already a little sleepy. I’ll sleep soon.”

I heard Michael chuckling beside me, but his voice was very soft. I even wondered if it was an illusion. Michael reached out and patted me as if he was coaxing a child.

“If you don’t want to sleep, then talk to me.” The night was approaching daybreak, and it was the darkest time of the day. However, Michael’s voice was like honey in the night, with magic that could make people sink into it.

“What did he say?” I asked.

“Tell me about your childhood. I’ve told you so many things about me just now. Tell me, how did you live when you were young?” Michael’s tone was so gentle that it almost blended into the night.

“When I was young, there was nothing much to say. After all, I didn’t live as long as you.” I stretched out my finger and gestured a small section. Then, I opened my entire palm and grabbed at the air. “Look, this little one is mine, and so many others are all yours. I just went to school and studied. I was ordinary, and nobody noticed me until I met you.”

“Huh? What happened after you met me?” Michael said.

“Don’t you already know what happened after I met you?” I mumbled, “That day was someone else’s ceremony, but I became the audience’s focus. Everyone’s eyes were on me. I’d never received so much attention before, and that was the first time. You’re the one who gave me all of this. Back then, you were the Lycan Prince, and I was just a little wolf.”

“You’re also a little wolf now.” Michael reached out and pinched my face. “I asked you to talk to me. Why are you acting like a spoiled child?”

“I didn’t.” I wanted to pull Michael’s hand away in dissatisfaction.

But after saying these to Michael, I seemed to get sleepy slowly. I was too lazy to stretch my hands out from under the blanket again, so I simply buried my face directly in Michael’s pectoral muscles so that he couldn’t touch my face.

Michael chuckled again. I heard it this time. After several rustling movements, he followed me back into the blanket.

His body was warm and comfortable, and I could feel endless security and satisfaction when I was by his side. I was immersed in his beautiful aura and felt myself getting sleepy.

In a daze, I seemed to hear Michael talking to me.

“Baby, with me here, you don’t have to worry about anything. I’ve marked you, so you’re mine. No one will dare to do anything to you.”

I knew I had a smile on my face as I fell asleep.
