“That’s a pretty cheap statement considering you have some with you right now, who’s willing to walk through hell on earth to aid you.” I wasn’t expecting her to jump into me with open arms, but I did want a little bit of appreciation. After all I turned my back on someone I once called a friend, that wasn’t so much to do with her though, I had been disagreeing with his tyranny long before I even met Dylan.
“No…” she was quick to defend her comment though, and in true fashion she looked down at the floor, nervous for her words. When in reality they made my own face heat up and a genuinely flattered chuckle escape my lips. “You’re not a lycan… no wait, you are a lycan but your not like them… what I mean to say is…” I secretly loved it when she got a bit flustered around me, it meant she held some sort of affection for me, even if it wasn’t in the way I wanted her to, 1 knew we couldn’t actually be together, she would never allow it, so I’d be happy for her to simply think of me as a friend.
“You’re just Lewis…” She eventually said after her long pause trying to get her words to form a coherent sentence. “I don’t think of you as a narcissistic mutt or a power hungry wolf… I see you as you are.” Had she truly looked past the fact that I was a wolf?

“You are you… you’re kind yet decisive, you are a Lycan but you don’t push that fact in others faces. You believe in equality and are willing to fight for it. You’re the only one who was willing to stand up to king josh when it came to me, and you’re here, helping me through whatever problems may arise.” My cheeks heated up even more and my body stepped closer to my girl. She held me in such high regards that I was momentarily taken over by my need to hold her. “You’re just Lewis.” She stated softly.
It was a bland final statement, and it usually meant you yourself were nothing special, but the way she spoke, the way she stepped closer to me, and the way her eyes lit up slightly every time she said my name, caused my heart to beat rapidly in my chest.
Being just Lewis was boring, and yet, being just Lewis to her meant more than anything ever should have. If I were to die right in that second I would have been so glad to have been just her Lewis,
If I could keep her thinking like that then maybe I actually had a shot with her. I’d never rush her, not after everything, but maybe, just maybe I could be her Lewis, forever.
That alone would make me ha
