Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 270: Confessions

Jules’ pov

I shook my head vehemently and sniffed, and then I gently pressed the ice against his arm.

"Is the pain reducing?" I asked after a little while and he nodded in response but I knew he was lying.

I wiped the tears away from my cheeks and then I tore the ice packs away, flinging it across the room, and then I hovered my hand above his arms, letting my eyes fall shut.

I didn’t know what I was doing and I felt extremely ridiculous but guilt was eating at every inch of my heart and I hated seeing him in pain, especially because I knew this was because of me. I let all my thoughts fall away, completely freeing my mind, and then I called upon my magic.

The gate of my magic slid open for me, providing entrance to my request and I began to hum a tune even I didn’t recognize, because it literally just came into my head from nowhere. Warmth grew in my chest just as tendrils of magic began to flow lit from my gate of magic. It was gold in color and very warm. It grew larger as I continued to hum, traveling through my veins and escaping through my palm, straight into Blaze’s arms.

The rush of magic in my arms suddenly intensified, almost catching me off guard but I caught myself at the last moment, reminding myself to not break the spell in the middle. Despite feeling confused and unsure if what I was doing was working or not, I continued to hum the tune, welcoming the surge of magic flow when it happened next.

When the whole rush finally ebbed away as the tune slowly faded away from my head, I blinked my eyes open, blinking slowly and trying to adjust myself to the temperature of the room’s light.

Blaze’s eyes were blown wide and as I slowly glanced down at his arms, a gasp tore past my throat in surprise.

The discoloration in his arms, from the tips of his fingers, all the way to his biceps, has completely cleared up. My shocked eyes darted to his face and I let out a laugh filled with disbelief.

"It- it worked..." I whispered, shock coursing through my veins. "It actually worked!"

"You healed me... you actually healed me." He finally breathed out, sounding as shocked as I felt.

"Did you know you could do that?" He asked and I slowly shook my head, eyes still filled with shock. I glanced at my palms, feeling surprised all over again that it actually worked. I had just been frustrated that the ice wasn’t doing anything and seeing him in pain was only bringing me more pain.

"Thank you." He finally whispered, hand cupping my face and I instantly leaned into the warm touch as flutters filed my chest and stomach, while a wayward teardrop rolled down my left cheek.

"No, thank you, for always being here for me and always protecting me. This is nothing compared to the amount of times you’ve saved me." I responded on a shaky exhale. Our eyes were locked, his eyes were boring into mine and this time, I noticed that it wasn’t dim or filled with pain, but was almost at its normal level of intensity.

He ended up tugging me against him in the bed, and then he tugged the sheets across us. I clung to him tightly, chest feeling tight and heavy as I tried shifting as close to him as I could, which was basically with our bodies pressing into each other’s, but it still didn’t feel enough, because within me, I could already feel like only being in his skin would feel enough.

We were currently staring into each other’s eyes and I tried mapping every inch and curve of his face into my heart. Pain was slowly moving over every inch in my chest but I was trying not to dwell on that right now.

Tonight and tomorrow might be the last day I’d see him, because next tomorrow, which my father told me is the day for the sacrifice, after carefully weighing my options, I’ve decided that I was gonna give up my life for him. I could never betray him by helping his father succeed in killing him, so it’s best I just die. At least with me gone, he’d not be getting into so many problems daily.

Tears stung my eyes at the realization that after dying, I’d never be able to see him again, or touch or smell or hold him, all that I’d have With me are memories and that thought filled me with so much sadness but I forced the tears away, reminding myself that this was for the best.

"What’s wrong?" His concerned voice threatened to make me breath and I exhaled shakily and shook my head a little, assuring him that it was nothing. If he didn’t believe me, he didn’t indicate, but then at the same time, he appeared to be in deep thoughts as well. With his eyes trailing over every inch of my face, it was almost like he was mapping the shape of my face and storing it in his heart like I was currently doing.

His arm around my waist tightened, tugging me against him even more, and then his hand slid upwards to cup my face. Tingles shot through my stomach and I panted softly as my eyelids fluttered. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

His thumb stroked my cheek a little, and then he finally spoke.

"You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me."

Tears instantly sprang into my eyes and I instantly tried blinking them away.

"Blaze." I whispered, voice breaking and he let out a ragged breath before speaking next.

"I love you."

I blinked once, then twice, unsure if I had heard well at first; but with the way the three words were reechoing around the inside of my heart, I was certain that I had heard well, and this time, I couldn’t hold back my tears from rolling down my cheeks while my heart felt like it got set on fire by his words.

"I love you so much, Labyrinth. To the moon and back, I love and cherish every inch and bit of you so much." He continued, words sounding so raw and sincere that it made my tears fall faster.

"I love you, Blaze." I finally whispered through a small hiccup that made him chuckle wetly.

"I think I’ve been in love with you since the first time you saved me. I love you so much, so much. My mate, my protector, my Blaze."

More tears rolled down my cheeks and he kissed them away, soft lips dragging over my cheeks, and that only made me cry harder as I clung to him, the thought of dying and never seeing him again hacking at my heart with a knife.

"Promise me... promise me you’ll never do anything stupid, Labyrinth. Promise me you’ll never put yourself in danger because of me." He suddenly spoke, and as I blinked at him, it was like he had been able to read my mind.

I exhaled shakily and breathed out the promise to him, even though I knew that I was undoubtedly lying to him right now. I’ll readily put myself in danger because of him, and that was because I love him.

So much.
