Selene's soft moan made Kane clench his eyes shut. The sound was intoxicating, stirring something deep inside him, tempting him to let go of every restraint he was desperately holding onto.

Selene, too, felt the weight of their closeness, her skin burning under his touch. The realization of how intimately he was licking her wound sent a shudder through her.

"K-Kane, let me go," she stammered, her voice unsteady. "My boyfriend won't like this if he finds out."

The moment that word-boyfriend-left her lips, Kane's eyes snapped open. His jaw tensed as he slowly lifted his head, his piercing gaze locking onto her face.

Selene hesitated before meeting his eyes, and when she did, her breath hitched. Blood stained his lips, and the look he gave her was dark, unreadable.

"If you bring up another man just to distract me again," he murmured, his voice dangerously low, "I swear, Selene, I'll do something you'll regret tomorrow."

A chill ran down her spine at his words. She didn't want him to heal her this way, but the warning in his tone made her uncertain-afraid, even, that he might actually act on his threat. Swallowing hard, she turned her head to the side, avoiding his gaze.

Kane exhaled sharply and returned to her wound, forcing himself to focus. The injury itself wasn't what troubled him-it was its placement. It was driving him insane. If he managed to control himself and walk away after this, then he truly had a will of steel.

Closing his eyes, he resumed licking the wound. The more he did, the more it bled, but he knew he was the only one capable of healing it. He needed to finish this quickly. Seeing her weak like this was

unbearable.

Meanwhile, Selene winced as a sharp pain spread through her chest. The sensation intensified with every passing second, as if someone were rubbing salt into an open wound.

As Kane's grip loosened around her wrists, she instinctively placed her hands on his shoulders, trying to push away. But it was useless-he had her caged beneath him, leaving her unable to escape.

"It'll pass soon," he murmured against her skin.

She bit her lower lip hard, trying to suppress the sounds threatening to escape her throat. She hadn't expected healing to be this painful. But gradually, the sting dulled, and she found herself staring up at the ceiling, her body finally relaxing.

Then, something else stirred inside her.

Her wolf.

A surge of energy rippled through her, her body responding in a way she didn't understand. Whenever Grayson tried to kiss her, her wolf always recoiled, rejecting his touch. But now? Now, her wolf wasn't just accepting Kane's presence-it was craving it.

It made her feel like a traitor.

Kane finally pulled away, inspecting his work. The wound had fully closed, the skin smooth and unmarked. But even as he saw her healed, his self-control wavered. His lips brushed against her

He should stop. He knew he should.

But when he glanced up, he realized she had already drifted off to sleep

Exhaling a shaky breath, his eyes roamed over her now unblemished skin. It was almost as if her body was inviting him, tempting him to touch more. But he wouldn't. He couldn't.

Shaking his head, he forced himself to move, leaning up toward her face. He lingered there, just watching her for a moment, before tilting his head and pressing a soft kiss to the comer of her lice

His voice was barely above a whisper as he murmured against her skin,noveldrama

"I wish I could mark you as mine right now. But I'll never do it without your consent."
