All Chapters of The Forbidden Second Marriage.: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

“I’m not easily broken,” Elena said gently. “You need to relax a little whenever you're around me.” From the car window, Drake watched every tiny movement between them. Elena’s fingertips brushed Melvin’s arm. The scent of her closeness hit Drake hard. His cigarette bent between his fingers, the ember flaring as his wolf stirred beneath his skin. Drake was aware that he had done too many terrible things to Elena. Now, how is he going to face her? Elena had always been forgiving, yet after all that he did, she hadn’t even asked how he was when he took that blow for her. That silence told him everything. Drake had promised Cassandra he wouldn’t be close to Elena in two months. Two moons. Even though every instinct in him screamed to run to Elena and tear Melvin away from her side. But this is not the right time. He had already made too many mistakes. If he wanted her back, he needed to end things with Cassandra and return to Elena as a man she could trust again. Otherwise

Kane struggled to speak. “I didn’t do anything to you. I beg you... Let my wife and daughter go! Adrian... please!” Dolphus’s face hardened. He forced Kane's head down into the icy water trough. Sebastian lingered close by, a partially smoked cigarette dangling from his lips. “You know,” he said slowly, “I still like to use a golf club.” "It’s more... fulfilling.” “I dislike the sight of blood,” Dolphus responded. His forearm muscles contracted as he effortlessly kept Kane subdued, the man's frantic attempts proving ineffective against a wolf's power. Dolphus extended his wrapped hand toward the cigarette that Sebastian presented. He didn’t light it. He simply held it between his fingers, eyes locked on the man under him. As Kane ceased his struggles, Dolphus dropped him and lifted him by the collar. He was choked by the water, and his body was seriously shaking from the chill. He was weak, which caused him to fall to the ground. "I’m aware I won’t make it! Andrian... An

As Elena was about to finish what she was saying, Dolphus immediately grabbed her buttocks. Suddenly, his lips collided with her lips, too. Elena couldn’t think straight again. Every idea melted away in the warmth of that kiss. Outside the changing room, muted noises filtered in, yet everything felt distant. Elena's hands pressed gently on Dolphus’s chest, yet he remained still. Dolphus’s body was pushing her back until she collided with the table filled with other dresses. Dolphus’s fingers ran through her hair, holding it firmly as his lips captured hers once more. It was more challenging this time and filled with despair. It wasn’t mild. It was feral. The space separating them grew heavier. Elena’s heart raced intensely in her ears as his kiss intensified, flavored with desire and a craving that surpassed logic. Elena inhaled gently as his lips moved from her mouth to her jawline. “Dolphus ” she murmured. She attempted to break free, but his hold grew stronger. “Mmm…” Ele

Elena’s ears burned as she heard the deep, enticing tone in Dolphus’s voice. She exhaled a gentle response. "Alright..." Perhaps it was the excitement of two hearts finally aligning on the same journey. Or maybe it was just Dolphus’s presence enveloping her like a powerful alpha energy. Dolphus took Elena back to her apartment. He held her hand firmly throughout the journey, his fingers encircling hers as if he worried she would disappear if he released her. Whenever the traffic signals turned red, Dolphus would extend his free hand, sweeping his palm to the back of her head and drawing her nearer. His lips would connect with hers in passionate and tensed kisses. This was like the kind of kiss that you didn't ask for, but you see coming. Once the car indicated that the lights were about to change to green, Dolphus would ultimately release the brake. Dolphus would consistently take another moment, raising her held hand to his lips and gently pressing a slow, tender kiss onto her

Even if Drake dropped to his knees at this moment and pleaded from the core of his being, it could never wipe away what has happened. No degree of begging could occupy the voids he had created in Elena’s life. He doesn't even know what he will do that could offset the pain. He only raised his gaze when the gentle sound of her steps faded from him, subtle yet clear enough to pierce his heart. Elena’s scent diminished with each step she made. “Elena …” Drake rasped. His words could not come together. His breath caught and strangled him until he spotted Elena coming toward the bodyguard standing next to the vehicle. Only then did he compel the turmoil within him to calm sufficiently to express himself.“Elena! “Give me your options… then lead me on how to end this hate that you have for me.”His voice was hoarse with tears that didn't drop but stung in his eyes.Elena halted just as she was about to get into the car. She gradually turned her head and looked at Drake with silent eyes.
