All Chapters of Bite Me, Daddy Wolf: Devil's Pet: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Malric's PovWhen the word "yes" left my lips, it wasn't strength that pushed it out, it was weakness.A broken man trying to fix another broken soul.Celia's breath trembled, her eyes glistened with unshed tears, and for a moment, she just looked at me, like she was trying to memorize every inch of my face before the world took me away from her again."Say it again," she whispered, voice raw."Celia...""Please," she insisted, her tone both pleading and desperate. "Say it like you mean it."I looked at her, at the woman I had once called my forever. The woman who had known every part of me before I even became this monster of an Alpha. She was trembling, fragile, yet dangerous in her sadness.And I... I was too weak to resist the storm she carried."Yes," I breathed again.That was all she needed.Celia reached for me, her fingers trailing up my neck, stopping beneath my jaw. Her touch burned, not with heat, but with the weight of memories. I remembered what it felt like to love her.

Delilah's PovThe garden was quiet again. The kind of quiet that hummed under my skin, like the world was holding its breath.The breeze swept through the roses, bending their necks just slightly, and I found myself tracing the rim of a petal with my fingertip, wondering when everything in my life had become this complicated.Verret had been trying so hard to make me happy these days. He smiled more, spoke softly, and even laughed sometimes, though his laughter always sounded like a secret he didn't want to share. And somehow, against my will, I had started laughing with him.But deep inside, something was still broken.I looked toward the horizon, where the sky bled into silver clouds. "It feels like my world is crumbling," I whispered, not realizing I'd said it aloud."I could say the same about mine," came Verret's voice from behind me.I turned. He was standing under the archway of vines, the morning light slicing across his face, his expression unreadable. "You're thinking too mu

Malric's Pov She stood there frozen. Her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to argue, but no words came out. And I hated myself for it... for the fear that flickered in her eyes when I spoke those words.You stay here. And we leave together.It came out rougher than I intended, sharper like a whip. But I meant every damn syllable.Because I couldn't risk it.Not again. Not her.I'd already lost too much, people, trust, pieces of myself. But Delilah... she was the one thing I wasn't ready to let go of, not now, not ever. Even if the world called it selfishness. Even if Celia called it betrayal.Her gaze dropped to the floor, and for a moment I saw her walls rise - that quiet, wounded strength that made her seem untouchable. It made my chest ache."I don't need your protection, Malric," she said finally, her voice low but steady. "I just need to keep my word. I promised Verret I'd return."The sound of that name made something primal tighten inside me.Verret.That bastard again.My

Verret's Pov Two days.It had been two whole, excruciating days since Delilah left.The candlelight in my chamber had burned out twice and been relit, and still, I sat there-waiting. Waiting for the sound of her footsteps, for the faintest trace of her scent in the air, for the promise she made to me to come true.But nothing.No sound.No movement.No Delilah.The silence had grown into something living, something that clawed at the walls of my skull. Every tick of time felt like a mockery, reminding me of what I already knew. She wasn't coming back.I ran a trembling hand through my hair and exhaled sharply, pacing. "You said you'd return, Delilah," I muttered, my voice low and hoarse. "You promised me you'd come back."I had told myself not to doubt her. Not her. She wasn't like the others. She had light even when she didn't see it in herself. She was warmth in a world of cold. But now... that warmth was gone, and I was left with nothing but the ache of absence.My chest felt holl

Delilah's PovThe rhythmic rocking of the carriage lulled me into a restless sleep. I didn't even know when exhaustion won over my racing thoughts, when the ache in my chest finally quieted long enough for me to drift. The next thing I heard was Reyna's soft voice saying, "Delilah, wake up. We've arrived."My eyes fluttered open to the pale morning light spilling through the carriage window. For a moment, I forgot where I was. Then I saw the towering gates, the familiar stone walls, and it all came back. Malric's mansion.Everyone stepped down one after another, stretching stiff limbs and murmuring greetings to the guards. Celia was the first to reach Malric. She clung to his arm, pressing herself close as if she'd been starved of his presence for years."Oh, Malric," she sighed dramatically, "I've missed home so much."Her words hung in the air like smoke. I repeated them quietly to myself....home.This was her home now, wasn't it? The same place that once made my heart flutter every
