Chapter 144: Love Confession

"Leland." Sophie finally made up her mind. Her voice was shaking when she spoke. 

The Alpha looked at his mate with a dazed and confused expression. "Yes? Sophia?" 

He was dying to know what she wanted to say, but she looked too shy to express it with words. So, the Alpha could only wait. He didn't want to pressure her to talk. 

From her attitude, he could tell that it was really important.

"Th-thank you…" That was all she could say. 

"Thank you?" The Alpha became more confused. In his opinion, there was nothing to thank for. He asked her gently. "For what?"

"Thank you for taking me in and…" Sophie wanted to cry again. "For being there for me and my children, for treating them like your own… for being you."

Her words were like cool water that filled Leland's heart with such a refreshing stream. He was worried she would complain about his method to make her his mate. Apparently, she didn't mind.
