Chapter 70
The driver reentered the car with almost choreographed movements, as if simply looking at them might be his death sentence. In absolute silence, he started the engine and returned to the road surrounded by the darkness of the forest.
Suddenly, a sob broke the silence inside the cabin. Maya, her eyes brimming and her head slightly bowed, tried to hold back the tears—but failed.
Kan looked at her, confused, his hardened expression twitching slightly at her vulnerability.
“What’s wrong now?”
She didn’t answer immediately. With trembling fingers, she tugged at the fabric of her dress, trying to see her own shoulder, as if wanting to rip something invisible from her skin. The crying continued, but it was quiet, almost whispered.
“I want to see... the mark...” she murmured.
Kan took a deep breath, glancing away for
Chapter 94Maya’s Point of ViewHe slowly took off his blazer, but it wasn’t just to hide the tired face resting against his forearm. I noticed. It was also to conceal the obvious bulge in his pants—something that even in my slightly dizzy state, I couldn’t ignore.We stepped into the elevator, and Kan held me firmly by the waist, keeping me way too close. My body almost pressed against his, and the heat radiating from his skin made me restless.“Where are we going?” I asked, my voice dragging, too drunk to pretend indifference.“You need a shower,” he answered in a hoarse voice, as if arguing with his own will. “And I... I can’t go out like this, with so many people out there.”The way he said it... like he was talking more to himself. I looked down, noticing exactly what he wanted to hide, and a mischievous smile slipped from my lips.God, what am I doing? With the potion’s effect, my wolf is in control.“You need one too,” I teased, feigning innocence.“What a naughty omega, huh?”
Chapter 93She felt her shoulder tingling, a sensation rapidly spreading, while her body responded to his touch with overwhelming intensity.Without thinking, Maya’s hand went to the top of Kan’s head, her fingers instinctively tangling in his hair. That made him press her even tighter against himself, his lips still on her neck, sucking the wound.Maya moaned his name, a sound mixing pain and an unusual pleasure.“Sweetheart… stop!” she begged, her voice barely audible.But he didn’t stop. On the contrary, he held her more firmly, a guttural growl escaping his throat, as if he had tasted something delicious. She moaned louder, pressing her hips against his, feeling his body stiffen.When it was over, he finally pulled his face away from her neck, and Maya, flushed and breathing unevenly, looked at her shoulder. Where there had been a wound, now there was only a faint red mark.“Did you heal me?” she asked, astonished, while he still held her from behind, unwilling to let go, wearing
Chapter 91Maya, on the other side, was also stunned, her lips parted in a silent gasp, her eyes wide with surprise and perhaps a quiet terror. The smile that had adorned her face just seconds before vanished, replaced by a mask of disbelief.In that vast hall, the music and murmurs became a distant echo. Maya, frozen by the sight of Samuel Kan, felt her heart race. He was there, even more breathtaking than in her memories, and disbelief took hold of her. Her lips parted in an inaudible sigh, eyes wide, perhaps with silent dread. It was as if they were alone, trapped in the tension of a reunion Kan hadn’t even expected.Gathering the courage she had left, Maya took the first step toward him upon realizing he was frozen in place. She walked with feigned casualness, a rehearsed smile playing on her lips. But as she approached, the mask of serenity faded, giving way to a calculated coldness."Don’t get too excited, Kan," she said softly, almost a hiss, her serious tone contrasting with
Chapter 90"That alpha should thank me for trying so hard," he muttered as he got out of the car, adjusting his suit. Beta Filtigal looked at himself in the mirror, analyzing his own appearance. With perfectly styled hair, an athletic build, and a tall stature, he was an impressive man."Today would be a good day to collect my debts from my divine goddess." He sighed, adjusting the lapel of his blue suit, and strode up the main staircase.Kan left his office with his hair a bit messy and his tie slightly loose around his neck, as usual. His expression was commanding, his dark eyes radiating that typical alpha coldness— always in control, always dominant— but also grumpy and tired."Ready?" Filtigal asked as the elevator opened and Kan stepped out listlessly.Kan looked himself over and replied with disdain,"I’m ready. Let’s just get this over with."Filtigal raised an eyebrow, disapproving with a sharp look. He approached and, without ceremony, loosened Kan’s tie."No, you’re not. Ar
Chapter 89A tense silence fell over the room.The triplets froze. Noam’s eyes filled with silent tears. Ayel gripped his siblings’ arms tightly. Lior bit his lips to keep from crying, his chest pounding.Kan lifted his head coldly."They can’t be mine. If they were… I would know. I’d feel it. I’d see some real trait. I haven’t seen any specific gift. No sign. Besides, Mayara is a weak omega and supposedly… I don’t even really sense her wolf, not fully, even with our bond. I can’t believe there’s such a vulnerable wolf like that," he said, though not with disgust— there was a note of resignation in his voice.Soraya stepped closer, eyes narrowed."The truth… is that you don’t want to believe it. Because your Luna will always be everything to you. Even though you have this bond, you’re still attached to what Nova was in the past— imposing and as powerful as you. But… right now, you have someone else. What will you do?"Kan gave a dry half-smile."For now, I’ll just let this bond speak
Chapter 88She entered— the very embodiment of elegance. The rhythmic echo of her thin heels against the polished floor was the only soundtrack that mattered. Kan couldn’t look away, following her every step until she stopped in front of him.The dress: a miracle in ruby green. Long, form-fitting, with delicate straps and a sweetheart neckline that framed her figure perfectly. From the thigh down, the skirt flared into a mermaid tail, and the carefully embroidered gemstones sparkled under the light, making her shine like the brightest star at the gala."You need to review and sign these documents, Mr. Kan.""Why don’t you sit down and talk with me for a bit?" he asked, pointing to the chair his beta had occupied moments before. She met Kan’s eyes, then sat down, as if she already knew exactly what he wanted to ask."I have some questions for the goddess who sees everything and knows everything, but who never says anything.""You know, time goddesses value their youth more than anythin
