My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

"Jake, there's something I've been holding in for a long time… and I can't keep it to myself anymore." Kate said.

Hearing the serious tone in her voice, Jake sat upright and turned to look at her more preparing to listen to what she had to say.

'C'mon! You can do this even though he is staring at you so much.' she thought.

"Uhm… I'm all ears." Jake said and Kate sighed again.

"Jake, I don't know how to put this to you, but I hope you don't get upset or whatever your response is to ruin our relationship." Kate said and Jake felt a sudden sense of fear, worried about why Kate was speaking so seriously.

Meanwhile, Zee was heard chuckling in Jake's mind.

"Oh here it comes." He said.

"The truth is…" Kate said as she took a deep breath. "I love you Jake! I really do. I want us to be together, get married and even give birth to kids together. That's how much I love and want to be with you." She blurted out at once stunning Jake a lot.

"What?!" Jake shouted as Kate's sudden confession was out of the blue and he was so stunned that his mouth was left hanging.

'Crap! I knew I shouldn't have confessed to him. What if he rejects me? Am I even good enough for him? Can I stand beside him equally?' Kate thought worriedly when she heard Jake sigh.

"The truth is, I have been lying to myself all along." Jake said as he turned around from looking at Kate to looking at the academy and the city.

"What do you mean?" Kate asked.

"I was unsure of my feelings for so long, I didn't know if what I was feeling was true or not. I didn't know if I could even feel that way or if I considered you that way." Jake said when Kate suddenly clutched her dress tightly.

'Here comes the rejection.' she sighed.

"I guess I was also feeling the same way." Jake said as he turned around to look at Kate. "I think… no! I'm sure of it, I also love you back and I want to build a family with you." He said and Kate's eyes widened in surprise as she was also caught stunned.

"Th… then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Kate asked.

"Firstly, I wasn't sure if you felt the same way towards me and secondly, I had a lot on my mind. The war, the guild, being a world leader and all that. Everything was playing on my mind that didn't let me think about romance and feelings.

But I guess Peter was right, I really do need a bit of romance in my life and I should stop worrying about the future but life in the present." Jake replied.

"So…so… you love me too?" Kate asked and Jake stood up and grabbed her gently lifting her up then he placed his hands on her face and looked deep in her eyes.

With the way they were so close, Kate felt her heart racing with each second, her cheeks heating up more and more, even her breath was hitching but her eyes rested on Jake's eyes.

"I'm saying, I love you too." Jake said and then a tear dropped down Kate's eyes as she quickly hugged him tightly.

"Thank you." Kate said and Jake smiled as he hugged her back. "And I love you so much that I couldn't imagine what would become of me if you weren't here."

"At the end of the day, the dense idiot finally realizes his feelings." Zee commented with a chuckle as Jake and Kate disengaged from the hug.

"But Kate." Jake said as he looked deep in her eyes. "You do know I'm a world leader right? And the war is drawing closer. So I will have to put any romantic emotions between us on hold for now till after the war. Because if I were to continue with the way I am currently, you might not be happy."

"Yeah, I totally get it. I wouldn't want my relationship to be like that of Emily and Alex's." Kate chuckled and Jake smiled as his hazel blue eyes were looking deep into Kate's eyes while he moved slowly towards her and seeing this, Kate's breath hitched.

'Is… is… is he about to do what I think it is? This… this is going to be my first kiss.' Kate thought excitedly as she closed her eyes, baiting her breath while Jake's face moved closer to the extent Kate could feel Jake's hot breath on her face.

Jake's eyes were now closed as he was mere inches away from her face and his lips were just mere seconds away when the door to the roof suddenly swung wide open with a loud bang that startled the two.

'Darn it! Who the hell is that? He was so close. I swear I'm gonna put an arrow into the person if this is not important.' Kate cursed in her mind as she and Jake turned around to see Peter walking in panting in exhaustion as he looked out of breath.

"Peter? What's wrong? Why do you look out of breath? Were you on a marathon with Sophia?" Jake asked with a chuckle as he stepped away from Kate while Peter lifted his head to reveal his face that was scrunched up seriously.

"Yeah! What's wrong? That you had to interrupt us." Kate said the last part quietly.

"We… we… there's a big problem!" Peter said and the sudden playful expression on Jake and Kate's face disappeared as they suddenly shared in Peter's panic.

"What happened?" Jake asked walking forward when Peter did the same and then stood in front of Jake.

"Two of the planets we managed to conquer are under attack! And Head General Humfree has called a meeting for that." Peter replied.

"Is that what you are worried about that you had to come running? There are plenty of strong fighters in the guild, just take a few and the problem will be sorted." Kate said.

"No! This can't be handled lightly as it's a powerful force attacking us." Peter said.

"Spill it out. What is it?" Jake asked.

"The planets are being attacked by werewolves!" Peter shouted.

"What?!" Jake and Kate shouted out at once.
