Heart of My Monster (Monster Trilogy, #3)

by Rina Kent

“Does that mean if I ask you to stop being Pakhan, you’ll give up the position for me?” He catches hold of my hand and kisses my palm. “Today if you want.” “Really?” “Whatever my beautiful wife wants.” “But you worked so hard for it.” “That position means nothing without you.” “Oh, Kirill.” I throw myself in his arms. “Of course I won’t ask you to give up your hard-earned power. I’ll stand by your side every step of the way.” “Does that mean you still love me?” I pull back and stroke his cheek. “I never stopped, idiot. It’s hard to live without you and impossible to forget you, but I had no choice in loving you.” “Good. Because I don’t intend to ever let you go.” “Even if I hate you sometimes?” “Especially then.” “Even if I’m difficult?” “I’m difficult, too.” “Even if you get tired of me?” “I’d get tired of the world, but never you, wife.” “You better not.” I wrap my arms around his neck. “Because I will also never let you go, husband.” I’m his. He’s mine. And neither of us has a say in it.
