Chapter 147 Chapter 147 373% Vouchers Selene His scent washed over me as he leaned closer, wrapping around my senses so suddenly that for a brief, dangerous moment my heart actually skipped a beat, and I hated how easily he could still do that to me even when I knew better. In my tenth life, I had promised myself I would never fall for a man again and let him betray me the way Adrian once did. because I would never again give my heart so freely only to have it shattered, and yet ever since I met the Alpha of the West.

my actions had been the complete opposite of that promise. Whenever he was near me my heart would beat too fast and my body would react in ways it never did around anyone else, as if it recognized him even when my mind tried to stay guarded.

It had never been like this with Adrian, not even in my past lives, because back then what I felt for him had been closer to infatuation than anything real, a desperate kind of love born from the fact that he was the first person who ever noticed me and the fact that he was my mate, which made me give him everything until there was nothing left for myself. In this life I felt nothing for him at all, and I thought that meant was finally free of needing anyone, but the man in front of me was making that belief feel fragile in a way I did not like.

What made it worse was that this was already the third time we had kissed, and even though I had reasons for the three times, I could not deny that I kept letting it happen because my body refused to pull away. I felt him carefully adjust my hair and slide the hairpin back into place, his touch surprisingly gentle, and when he was done I looked up and met his gaze, those crimson eyes studying me with an intensity that made it feel as though he could see straight through every wall I had built around myself.

He glanced at my lips again, clearly about to lean down and kiss me, but this time I pressed a hand flat against his chest and stopped him before he could move any closer. My heart might have been traitorous, and my body might have been far too willing to betray me, but I was not about to let myself get carried away by a dangerous, perfectly composed alpha who could ruin everything with a single word.

"Alpha Damien," I said, a small smile on my lips, "don't you think it would cause quite a stir if people saw you with me like this, because they would think you are trying to sleep with a man I held his gaze, my smile never quite reaching my eyes.

"You already have rumors going around that you're gay, so I'm sure you wouldn't want anyone actually seeing you like this, especially since I'm still in a male disguise." The amused gleam in his eyes never faded as he watched me, as though he were entertained by my attempt to create distance between us, and what unsettled me most was that he did not move away at all, standing there with the calm of someone who was in no hurry, as if he were simply waiting to see what I would do next. I let out a quiet sigh.

Of course a man like him would not care about rumors, not when his very existence was enough to bend the will of everyone around him. I lifted my eyes to his and asked, as calmly as I could manage, "Are you going to take me back?" He raised an eyebrow at the question, and it was not confusion that crossed his face but a brief flicker of surprise, which only made me frown, because why would he be surprised when this was the most obvious reason for him to appear in front of me now. He wanted to take me back to the palace.

"If I wanted to take you back," he said slowly, leaning back as if this was nothing more than an interesting thought, "would you go with me willingly?" I shook my head without hesitation and answered honestly, "No because I am the type of person who finishes what she starts, and if I walk away now then everything I came here to do will be meaningless, but if you decide to take me by force then there is nothing I can do about it, since you are stronger than me, and fighting you would only waste both of our time because you would have me pinned to the floor within a minute, 1/2 2/2 11:04 Tue, Feb 17 G.

Chapter 147 73% 69 vouchers I had always known my strengths and my weaknesses, even in past lives, it was my feelings for Adrian that clouded my senses. And I knew just as clearly now that Alpha Damien stood far above me in raw power, which was why I refused to lie to myself about it. "So then?" he prompted. "Everything is not about strength," I said, meeting his gaze steady.

"Just because I cannot beat you in a fight does not mean 1 cannot look for other ways to convince you to let me stay, because there is always a solution to everything if you are willing to look closely enough." Something flickered in his eyes at my words, and for a moment he looked genuinely taken aback, before, to my complete surprise, his lips curved into a faint smile. "How interesting," he murmured to himself.

I froze at the sight, because this was the first time I had ever seen him smile like that, and gods, it was unfair how good he looked with it, since I had always thought he was someone who only suited a cold, expressionless face, and yet that small, perfect curve of his lips made him look even more dangerous and even more beautiful. Before I could finish thinking of all the ways I might convince him to let me stay, he spoke again. "You can do whatever you want to do," Damien said casually. "Really?" I asked, unable to keep the surprise out of my voice.

"I can?" "Yes," he replied, and then he took a slow step closer, his presence filling my space as he added, "but you will spend every night in my chambers." My surprise barely had time to register before he hooked a finger under my chin and lifted my face so I had no choice but to look at him.

"And be careful not to get hurt," he said, his voice suddenly sharp with something possessive and dangerous, "because I will not take kindly to you being harmed, and for their sake you had better make sure you win, because even if they do and lay even a single finger on you, I will take their heads, since I will not let anyone live after hurting what is mine." My heart skipped a beat at his words. What was his?
