His gaze was locked onto mine, as if the very ground beneath him had crumbled away, leaving him suspended in a void where my words had pierced through the last remnants of his composure. His hands, which had once cradled my face with warmth, now felt as if they were made of ice-rigid, trembling, and utterly devoid of the strength they once held. "What... are you talking about, Emilia?" he murmured, his voice a rough whisper laced with confusion. "I might not have the fondest feelings for your family due to how they treated you, but I swear, I didn't kill them.

Why would I ever do something like that?" Tears streamed down my cheeks, hot and relentless. I shook my head slowly, my heart pounding in my chest. "Not them," I whispered, my voice barely above a breath. His brows furrowed sharply, the confusion on his face morphing into worry, which quickly shifted to something darker, more foreboding. He stepped closer, his hands leaving my face to grip my shoulders-his touch was firm yet gentle, as if he feared I might shatter into a million pieces at any moment. "Talk to me. Did someone hurt your family?" His jaw clenched tightly.

"I know they're not perfect, but they're still your family. If anyone dared-" "My real family," I whispered, my heart racing as I uttered the words. He froze, his grip on my shoulders loosening as if the weight of the revelation had rendered him immobile. His eyes widened, the confusion draining away to reveal a chilling emptiness. "I found out," I gasped, my breath hitching. "They weren't my real family. My true parents... they were part of the Forgotten Pack." Silence enveloped us, a heavy, suffocating blanket of stillness.

Maximus's hands slowly slipped from my shoulders, falling to his sides as if they had suddenly become too heavy to bear. His gaze dropped to the floor, and I could see his throat bob as he swallowed hard, but no words came forth. He didn't even glance in my direction. He looked as if the earth had opened up beneath him, swallowing him whole. "Maximus?" My voice trembled, breaking the silence like glass shattering. "Please, say something." Nothing. He continued to stare at the floor, his jaw clenched tight, hands shaking, breath hitching in uneven gasps.

Then, after what felt like an eternity, he exhaled slowly, whispering, "I'm sorry." The words barely escaped his lips. Not because he didn't mean them. But because they seemed to tear at his very soul as he spoke. His head hung lower. "I... Emilia, I've done so many things I can't take back," he confessed, his voice cracking under the weight of his admission. "I'm a monster. I deserve to die." "No," I interjected sharply, but he continued, as if my words had fallen on deaf ears. "But please..." His voice shattered completely as he sank to his knees, right there in front of me.

Maximus-the Alpha King, the man who never bowed to anyone-was now kneeling before me. For me. His head hung low, and his voice was raw, trembling with emotion. "Please forgive me, Emilia." My breath caught in my throat. I took a hesitant step toward him, my heart racing. I had never witnessed him like this-never seen him so utterly broken, so vulnerable, kneeling before anyone. He lifted his face, and the sight struck me like a physical blow. His eyes were red and glistening, filled with torment. "I've battled this beast all my life," he whispered, his voice thick with pain.

"Every single day. I wanted to be normal. I tried. But it never stopped." His hands trembled violently as they pressed against the floor. "I didn't mean to kill anyone." My chest clenched painfully. "Maximus..." "On that night," he continued, his voice hoarse, "the night the Forgotten Pack was destroyed... I woke up drenched in blood." He paused, his voice trembling as he recalled the memory. "At first, I didn't remember anything. And then the screams began-echoing in my mind over and over again.

It was pure torture." He drew in a shaky breath, his shoulders quaking under the weight of his confession. "I started seeing faces. The women who were offered to me... but my beast took their lives." His hands covered his face, and I could see the anguish etched into his features. "I hated myself. Every single second. I wanted to die. I begged the goddess to just... end it." My heart shattered into pieces, each fragment a reminder of the pain he had endured. "I was hopeless," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "Alone. Drowning in guilt.

And then..." He lifted his gaze to meet mine, and I felt my breath hitch again. "Then you came into my life." My knees almost buckled beneath me. "You were like a beacon of light," he murmured, his voice cracking further. "After living in darkness for so long." His eyes glistened with unshed tears. "I know I hurt you. I know I'm a man with blood on his hands. But please..." His voice dropped to a desperate whisper, raw and pleading. "Please don't hate me." Tears spilled down my cheeks faster than I could wipe them away. "I can't bring your parents back," he said softly, his voice trembling.

"I wish I could. I wish I could undo everything. But I can't. I can't erase what I've done." His voice quivered, teetering on the edge of something fragile. "But I swear to you, Emilia... I will be a better man. I promise." I didn't even realize I had moved until my knees hit the cold floor. I didn't think about it. I didn't plan it. I simply reacted. One moment, he was kneeling alone, trembling under the weight of his despair, and in the next, I was on the ground beside him, my arms wrapping tightly around his shoulders as sobs erupted from deep within me. He stiffened in shock.

Then, in an instant, his arms enveloped me. Tight. Desperate. As if he feared I might vanish if he let go. I buried my face in the crook of his neck, my tears soaking into his skin. His arms held me so close, I could feel every shudder of his breath, every tremor in his hands, every crack in the walls he had built around himself throughout his life. His body shook- And then I felt something warm drip onto my shoulder. I froze. Slowly, I pulled back. His face was wet. The Great Alpha King-the man feared by entire kingdoms-was crying. Truly crying.

His jaw trembled as he looked at me, caught in a battle between wanting to pull me closer and pushing me away so I wouldn't have to witness his vulnerability. My heart twisted painfully in my chest. "Maximus..." I whispered, my voice barely audible. He shook his head, his voice hoarse. "I don't deserve you, Emilia." "You're not a monster," I replied softly, cupping his face with my trembling hands. He flinched as if my words had struck him physically. I lifted his face until our eyes met. "You didn't have a choice," I whispered, my voice steady yet gentle. "Your beast was in control.

You weren't in your right mind. You didn't choose violence. You didn't choose bloodshed. And I can't... I can't hold that against you." His breath hitched, as if he had been suffocating for years and had finally surfaced for air. "I don't deserve you," he repeated softly, his voice filled with sincerity. "But you have no idea how incredibly happy it makes me that you're my mate." My heart stopped. Literally, it stopped. His eyes were intense, burning with a fierce vulnerability that left me breathless. "Mine," he whispered. Then he leaned in. And his lips crashed onto mine. Hot. Desperate.

Claiming. Consuming. My hands tangled in his hair as the kiss deepened, a sharp gasp escaping my lips and melding with his. His fingers dug into my waist, pulling me closer, as if he couldn't get enough-as if he had been starving for this moment, starving for me. Heat surged through my body, coursing through my veins, igniting every place his mouth touched mine. I felt breathless. Weightless. Alive. For the first time in what felt like an eternity... I felt like I could finally breathe.
