Klaus: POVBy the time I pulled into my place, the night still felt… unfinished.For a second, I just sat there, fingers resting on the steering wheel, staring straight ahead.Was she inside already?A faint smile tugged at my lips.Mira.The way she’d looked at me tonight—God.I let out a quiet laugh under my breath, leaning back in my seat.She fought me so hard.Like kissing me would kill her.And yet—I could feel it.Smell it.Her body didn’t lie, even if her mouth did.“Stubborn girl…” I muttered.My thumb brushed over my lower lip.I could still feel her there.Soft.Warm.Sweet.Too sweet.I exhaled slowly, my chest tightening in a way I didn’t like.I could kiss her for hours.Wouldn’t even get tired.The thought hit me—and something stupid, light, almost giddy bubbled up in my chest.I huffed out a laugh, shaking my head, running a hand through my hair like I was trying to shake it off.What the hell is wrong with me?I glanced at the side mirror—And froze.“…What the fuck

Pov: Mira“Kevin—what the hell—”My words cut off when his hand slammed over my mouth.Hard. Unyielding.I froze, a muffled sound trapped in my throat as panic surged through me.“Don’t,” he whispered against my ear. “Don’t make a scene.”A chill slid down my spine.Inside me, Sky went silent.Not teasing. Not playful.Just… still.Yeah. I don’t like this.Kevin dragged me backward, fast and rough. My heels scraped against the ground as I struggled, twisting in his grip.I turned my head—Tina.Only a few feet away. Still on her phone. Laughing.Unaware.Please… just look at me…She didn’t.No one did.Kevin pulled me behind the dorm, into a narrow service walkway lit by a flickering bulb. Trash bins lined the wall. Shadows stretched long and uneven.Hidden.He slammed me back against the wall.Pain exploded up my spine as his hand finally tore away from my mouth. I sucked in a ragged breath, doubling slightly as air rushed into my lungs.“What is wrong with you?” I snapped, my voice

POV:Mira The drive back was quieter.Not awkward.Just… calmer.By the time we pulled up in front of my dorm, I was practically melting into the seat.Klaus turned off the engine and stretched.“We’re here.”“Thank goodness,” I muttered, unbuckling my seatbelt. “I’m exhausted.”He glanced at me, something unreadable in his eyes.“Don’t worry,” he said. “Everything that happened today… it’s going to change your life.”I blinked.“…What?”He smirked slightly.“Whatever you see tomorrow—just know it was my doing.”I frowned. “What does that even mean?”“You’ll see.”What is he planning?Invite him in, Sky begged immediately. Don’t let him go.“No,” I muttered under my breath.Tina could be home. And even if she wasn’t… I still wouldn’t invite him in.Definitely not.“Aren’t you getting out?” Klaus’s voice cut in.I turned.“Or…” he added, leaning casually against the car, “do you want to invite me in?”“What?!” I choked.He shrugged. “If so, I’ve lost interest. You refused to call me ba

(Mira POV)A Few Minutes LaterWe were seated in a restaurant so fancy I felt like I needed permission to breathe.Soft lighting.Quiet music.Everything looked expensive.Again.Why is everything around him expensive?Klaus, meanwhile—Was completely relaxed.Of course.He had already ordered food.And drinks.And was currently eating like he hadn’t seen food in years.I stared at him from across the table.“Do you ever slow down?” I asked.“No,” he said, mouth full.“At least you’re honest.”He swallowed.Took a sip of his drink.Then leaned back slightly.“So,” he said.“You wanted to talk.”I nodded slowly, taking a sip of my milkshake to buy myself a second.“Physical contact,” I said.He shrugged like it was nothing. “What about it? We’re already doing that.”He dropped his cutlery and wiped his mouth neatly with a napkin, like he hadn’t just inhaled half the plate.“Mira,” he added, suddenly more serious. “I think we should take things slow.”I blinked.“Before sleeping togethe

Mira: POVBefore I could fully prepare myself—We were already there.Right in front of them.Klaus leaned in and hugged his mother first, pressing a light kiss to her cheek.“Mom.”His voice softened.She pulled back just enough to look at him, her hands still on his arms.“You didn’t tell me you were coming,” she said, half scolding, half smiling. “I told you last night your father and I would be here.”Klaus smiled.“I wanted to surprise you.”Of course he did.Then he turned slightly.His posture straightened just a bit.“Dad.”A simple nod.Respectful.Careful.Very different from how he spoke to his mother.Then he faced the man beside them.“Alpha Dagon.”The older Alpha smiled immediately and shook his hand.“Look at you,” he said warmly. “You’ve grown into a real man.”A pause.“Now you even listen to classical music.”Klaus let out a small laugh.“I’m full of surprises.”Then—He turned to the girl beside him.And smiled.“Linda.”“Long time, Klaus,” she replied, returning t

Mira: POVThe moment we stepped fully inside—Camera flashes exploded behind us.Bright.Fast.Blinding.I froze.“What is going on?” I whispered, leaning closer to Klaus without thinking. “Is the performer that famous? Or—wait—is someone important here?”My eyes scanned the room, trying not to look like I was panicking.“You know how these events go,” I muttered. “Rich people, secret guests, unnecessary drama…”Klaus didn’t even look back.Like this—this chaos—was nothing.“I don’t know,” he said calmly.Then, without warning—His arm slid around my waist.Pulling me right against him.My breath caught.I looked up at him, startled.He didn’t even look down.“Relax,” he murmured.His hand pressed slightly against my side.“Just play along.”My heart started racing again.“Play what?” I whispered.He finally glanced at me.And smiled.That slow, dangerous smile.“Remember… we’re lovers.”My heart did something very stupid in my chest.Oh. Right. The act.I swallowed.“Right,” I whispe
