For a fleeting moment, she regarded me with an expression that suggested I had uttered something utterly ridiculous, something trivial. "What do you mean?" she replied lightly, yet there was an undeniable tremor in her voice that betrayed her composure. Tilting her head slightly, she managed a weak smile, as if attempting to deflect the gravity of the moment. "Who am I? I'm Emilia. Hello..." She even lifted a damp hand from the water, giving it a mock wave, as though this was all a playful jest. But I couldn't muster a smile in return.

"That's not what I mean," I stated, my voice low and gravelly, heavy with unspoken truths. "And you know it." The playful humor faded from her expression, replaced by something far more serious. Her hand slipped back beneath the surface of the water, as if seeking refuge from the weight of the conversation. "I haven't stopped thinking about it," I continued, my heart tightening with the burden of words I had kept locked away for far too long. "Last night in the forest. How you prevented my beast from breaking free. How I touched you, and you're...

you're still alive." My throat constricted painfully. "Every other woman... every single one... dead. But you? You're still here. Breathing. Whole." Her lips parted, but no sound emerged, leaving an echo of unspoken fears hanging in the air. I leaned in closer, my hand resting on the edge of the tub, grounding myself in this moment. "And then there was that night you were stabbed. You should have died, Emilia. I felt the life slipping away from you. But you came back. You healed. You..." I shook my head, grappling for the right words that seemed to elude me. "I don't know, Emilia.

What are you really? You don't even have a wolf." A heavy silence enveloped us, punctuated only by the rhythmic drip of water echoing against the tiled walls. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat a reminder of the urgency of this conversation. Finally, she whispered something so soft, it almost slipped past me. "I don't know." Her words pierced through me, fragile and broken, resonating with a haunting vulnerability. Her gaze fell to the steaming water, her voice wavering. "Back in the forest last night... it just happened. I felt this overwhelming urge to protect you.

And then that energy surged through me like a bolt of lightning. I have no idea how. If you asked me to do it again, I couldn't. I don't even understand what it was." Her hand trembled on the edge of the tub, and her next words emerged raw and unguarded. "As for not dying that day... maybe I'm immortal. I don't know. In my pack, I've been beaten to the brink of death. Bones broken. Skin torn. Yet by the next day, I would wake up without a single mark. Like nothing ever happened. Maybe I'm something dark. Maybe I'm cursed too." She finally lifted her gaze to meet mine, her eyes wide with fear.

"I don't know." A pang of anguish shot through my chest at the trepidation in her voice-the way she seemed ready to accept the worst about herself. "No," I declared firmly, shaking my head with conviction. "No, Emilia. You're not something dark. You saved me." She bit her lower lip, uncertainty flickering across her features. "If I had escaped the forest last night," I pressed on, my voice steady, "this morning I would have been drowning in regret. Because I would have killed innocent people. I would have laid waste to everything in my path. But you stopped me.

You gave me back control when I had none. You reminded me that I wasn't just a beast. Whatever you are, you saved me from myself." Her breath hitched in her throat, a mixture of relief and disbelief dancing in her eyes. I leaned closer, my fingers brushing against her damp hair, feeling the warmth radiate from her. "And we will discover what you truly are. Together. And if you possess powers, you will learn to harness them. You will learn to control them. I promise you that." For a moment, she simply stared at me, her eyes glistening with an emotion I couldn't quite name.

Then, in a whisper that felt like a fragile promise, she said, "Thank you, Maximus." I shook my head slowly, a soft smile breaking through the tension. "No. I should be the one thanking you." She rose from the water, droplets cascading down her skin like liquid diamonds, glistening in the steam. My throat tightened at the sight of her bare form, glowing in the mist. Without thinking, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her, my hands lingering on her shoulders longer than necessary, savoring the warmth. Her hair clung to her cheeks as we made our way back to the bedroom.

She dried her hair with the towel, her movements casual, yet I couldn't tear my gaze away. I settled on the edge of the bed, drinking in every detail of her, captivated. She noticed my stare and narrowed her eyes into a playful glare. "Are you going to get me something to wear, or are you just going to keep staring at me?" A smirk tugged at my lips. "You look better naked." She rolled her eyes, shaking her head, but I caught the faint blush creeping across her cheeks. With a chuckle, I stood and retrieved one of my shirts.

When I handed it to her, she slipped it on quickly, the hem falling almost to her thighs. It looked infinitely better on her than it ever had on me. She settled at the small table, her hair still damp, and picked at the food I had prepared earlier. Yet her gaze kept darting to me, soft yet searching, as if she was contemplating a question that hovered just out of reach. Finally, I leaned back in my chair, meeting her gaze with unwavering intensity. "What's wrong?" "Nothing," she replied too quickly, shaking her head dismissively. I raised an eyebrow, unconvinced.

"You can ask me anything." She hesitated, chewing her lip nervously. Then, she diverted her gaze. "Forget about it." "Emilia." My voice dropped, a warning lacing my tone. Her shoulders slumped, a heavy sigh escaping her. "Well... since we're asking each other questions..." Her voice trailed off, uncertainty clouding her features. "Yes?" I urged, my curiosity piqued. Her eyes lifted to mine, wary and uncertain. "How...?" She faltered, her throat working as if the words were lodged there. My heart thudded heavily in my chest. "How what?" I asked, my voice a rasp.

Her gaze locked onto mine, and she finally asked, "How did you get cursed?" The question sliced through the air, sharp and unyielding. My hand stilled around the fork I held, the weight of her inquiry settling heavily in the room. My pulse slowed, cold dread creeping in. The silence expanded, wrapping around us like a shroud, the walls closing in. I opened my mouth to respond- And then stopped.
