you
to repay
me like this out of gratitude”
“What kind of person do you think I am? Do I need your pity?”
My eyes grew moist:
“Declan, I’m willing too. There’s no reluctance at all”
I took his hand and pressed it against my heart.
His pupils suddenly constricted, as if he had touched something he shouldn’t have
Don’t look, don’t touch – he tried hard to pull his hand away.
But I held onto his hand, refusing to let go.
“Declan, feel my heart”
“There’s truly no reluctance here. Don’t feel pressured.”
Declan’s Adam’s apple bobbed faster, his restraint growing even more intenset
“Don’t lie to me. I know your heart only has room for my brother, Liam
“Earlier when the bodyguard called you, I overheard.”
“You said Liam needed you more tonight.”
I wanted to explain, but Declan’s phone on the bedside table suddenly rang
I glanced at the screen–it was Liam.
Declan also looked at the phone and swiped to answer.
“Liam, what is it?”
Liam’s equally distressed voice came through the phone:
“Brother, my werewolf nature awakened tonight. I feel terrible
“And that damn Aria still hasn’t shown up.”
“I thought I could resist, but I overestimated myself.”
Declan glanced at me: “Aria, sho…”
I immediately kissed Declan’s lips, stopping the words he was about to say.
Declan lost control due to my repeated initiative, his pupils contracting sharply.
His large, powerful hand instinctively held the back of my head, seeming to want more.
But reason quickly overpowered impulse.
He pushed me away, not having time to tell me I was here.
Liam’s complaints came through the phone:
“Of course I know Aria is just delayed by traffic.
“She must be dying to fly over and help me ease my symptoms right now.”
6:59 AM
“Her heart must be bursting with joy
“But something so easily obtained always feels a bit lacking”
“I really don’t want her to take advantage of my vulnerable state. Why does our werewolf love have to be imprinted with lifelong loyalty from
the core?
Declan’s eyes, red and frightening, were tinged with surprise and anger,
“You don’t want to be loyal to her?”
“Then why have you been leading her on since childhood?”
Liam spoke to his older brother without reservation:
to his older
“I was young and hadn’t seen many women before
“I didn’t know how colorful the outside world could be.”
“Liam!” Declan suddenly called his brother’s name in a heavy tone: “If you don’t cherish her, dont blame me for cherishing her instead!”
Declan’s
is tone wi
was heavy a
as he concluded: Don’t regret it later!‘
Liam paused for a moment, then laughed:
“I won’t regret it.”
“If she could stop clinging to me, I’d be grinning in my sleep.
“But brother, you shouldn’t set your sights on Aria.”
“Even if I could empty my heart, Aria couldn’t do the same.
“Aria’s heart only has room for me. She can’t accommodate anyone else:
“I bet she wants to cling to me for life.”
“Oh, brother, are you planning to play the domineering werewolf alpha and force Aria to fall for you?”
“But love obtained by force is meaningless. Even if you conquer her body, you can’t conquer her heart. Why bother, brother..”
I was annoyed by Liam’s inexplicable confidence.
Afraid that Declan would back out and push me away again,
In a moment of urgency, I wrapped both arms around Declan’s neck and gently bit his ear,
Declan was already deep in the throes of desire. How could he withstand such stimulation?
He coldly interrupted Liam: “That remains to be seen”
But Liam was confident:
“Brother, I’m not bragging, but Aria must be in a desperate rush to come case my symptoms right now. She’s probably over the moon on her way here.”
“Poor me, I’m already in agony from the heat, and I’ll have to summon even stronger willpower to resist her taking advantage of the situation. You don’t understand your little brother’s pain”
Declan laughed coldly and dropped four words: “You’re deluding yourself.”
6:50 AM
<
He listened to the phone while watching me take advantage of the situation.
His gaze had changed at some point.
All restraint, reason, and struggle had been thrown to the winds.
His large hand held the back of my head.
He even pulled me onto the hospital bed, holding me sideways in his arms.
The bodyguards and doctor in the room, with great tact, all retreated.
When only Declan and I were left in the room,
A silent intimacy rapidly grew between us.
I felt like I was pressed against a scorching furnace.
My heart pounded like a frightened deer.
Declan’s voice
Til give
was a bit hoarse:
you one last chance. Leave now”
“Otherwise, …
“I’m the type who either doesn’t touch or never lets go once I’ve made up my mind.”
My heart suddenly trembled, and I felt a bit scared.
But thinking of the horrific wound on his back, I shook my head stubbornly:
The air in my mouth was suddenly stolen.
Declan took control, pressing me underneath him as he kissed me deeply.
As if I were the most precious treasure in the world.
I couldn’t help but let out a moan, which was heard by Liam on the other end of the phone:
“Brother, what’s going on? Is there a woman with you?”
7
Declan said: “You don’t need to know tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll let you meet your future sister–in–law.”
Liam laughed
“Alright then, I won’t disturb your fun, brother”
“Tomorrow, you must let me see what my future sister–in–law looks like
Before hanging up, I heard Liam ask irritably:
“Why hasn’t Aria arrived yet? Call and hurry her up.
I heard his friend tease him
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to give
give her the satisfaction, that you didn’t care if she came?”
“What, can’t handle it anymore and regretting it now?”
Liam laughed loudly in denial:
6:59 AM
“How could that be possible? I’m just worried something might have happened to her on the way”
“Quick, call her and ask where she is.”
His friend said: “No one’s answering. You don’t think something really happened, do you?”
Liam frowned:
“Call again. Keep calling until she picks up.”
Liam didn’t know that the constantly ringing phone was like background music to our passion in the dark night. The more it rang, the tighter Declan held me, as if afraid I would disappear in an instant.
When I was about to suffocate from lack of oxygen, Declan asked in a low, hoarse voice:
“Do you want to answer the phone?”
“Maybe Liam has changed his mind.”
He held me, his body scorching hot.
I shook my head, blushing
“Declan, don’t say such mood–killing things right now”
I found his phone and pressed the hang–up button, tossing it aside.
Deliberately wrapping my arms around Declan’s neck, I coaxed:
“Declan, don’t hold back.”
Tonight, I’ll go along with whatever you want
Declan’s breathing was like a fire being ignited, his voice trembling with huskiness:
“Aria, stop tempting me like this.”
His kisses had moved to my collarbone, his breathing becoming more and more ragged.
Iblinked: “You don’t like it?”
Tilke it. It just doesn’t feel real.”
“And I know clearly in my heart that you’re only doing this to repay a debt”
“The abyss of desire is hard to fill. What I really want is much more.”
The loneliness in his voice was undisguised.
I didn’t know how to respond to his words:
“Declan, why did you sacrifice half your lifespan to save me five years ago?
“Even Liam, who grew up with me, couldn’t do it Why were you willing?”
“And you put yourself in this predicament, going crazy wanting me every full moon?”
Declan didn’t answer, only placing more intense kisses on my body.
After a while, I finally heard him say:
“It’s not just during the full moon that I want you.”
“I want you all the time.”
6:50 AM
“But unfortunately, you always run away when you see me?”
Declan laughed self–deprecatingly:
“Am I that frightening to you?”
“But after tonight, even if you run from me, even if you fear me, I won’t let go.”
“Arla, since you’ve provoked me, don’t think about escaping for the rest of your life!”
He held me tight, with a force that seemed like he wanted to meld me into his body.
I was stunned, giving rise to some unrealistic fantasies.
Could it be that Declan had been secretly in love with me all along?
But why wasn’t I scared anymore? Instead, I felt a little secretly delighted?
So this werewolf, who struck fear into everyone’s hearts, would become soft as putty for me?
I felt a bit proud. What should I do?
I boldly hugged his lean waist, carefully avoiding the wound on his back.
Tilting my chin up to give him better access
“Declan, I won’t run away”
“If you don’t believe my words, just watch my actions in the future.
“TII empty Liam from my heart and only let you live there from now on.
B
The next morning, Declan woke up but didn’t see me.
I had gone home to shower and change clothes, but Declan didn’t know and thought I had regrets.
The bodyguards called me one after another:
“Miss Aria, please call the young master yourself and tell him you haven’t run away?
“He doesn’t believe a word we say. We’re begging you,”
I couldn’t help but smile. He was supposed to be the feared tough guy in the outside world. I heard he was currently competing to be the next werewolf king, facing any situation with unwavering composure. But when it came to me, why was he so insecure and anxious?
However, I was unexpectedly delighted by this.
Who wouldn’t like being cherished like this?
I opened SnapChat and took the initiative to send Declan a message.
Darling, Ill be back soon.
For a long time,
lime, there was no
was no reply.
Instead, I received a call from the bodyguard:
“Miss Aria, what did you send to the young master?
“He was so excited that he dropped his phone in a water glass, and his ears turned red again.”
The doctor almost thought his heat cycle hadn’t passed.”
7:00 AM
“He never smiles, but just now he smiled several times secretly. He couldn’t even hide the corners of his mouth in front of us. The ice prince has been brought down to earth, Tsk tsk, it takes you to do it
I put on some delicate makeup, wore the prettiest dress in my closet, and even curled my hair a bit. I looked at myself in the mirror for a long time, feeling beautiful.
