After I Let Go My Alpha He Knelt in Regret

Chapter 116

My heart skipped again, but this time, it was for a different reason. Still, I wasn't going to make it easy for him. With a playful push of my finger against his chest, I flashed him a cheeky smile. "Sorry, but I've got a lot of fans. They'd probably tear you apart if I let you." Lorek's eyes sparkled with amusement as he stepped closer, his presence warm and inviting. "I'm not worried," he whispered, leaning in just enough to make my pulse quicken again. "There's always a moment when they can't see us."

The way he said it-low, intimate-made a shiver run down my spine, but I wasn't about to give in so @sily. We had always been like this, pulling each other closer only to push away, testing the limits of our connection. It was a dance we'd perfected over time, and now, under the blazing sun and the eyes of thousands, it felt more intense than ever.

My breath caught in my throat as he tilted his head, his lips hovering just a whisper away from mine. My heart raced, but I managed to keep my voice steady, barely.

"We're not alone, you know," I said, raising an eyebrow. "Everyone's watching."

Lorek chuckled softly, his breath tickling my skin. "Let them watch," he murmured before brushing his lips lightly against my ear. His voice dropped to a teasing whisper. "They've already seen everything."

A spark of laughter bubbled up inside me, and I couldn't help but smile. I nudged him away, knowing full well this game of cat and mouse was far from over.

The crowd might have been cheering for Cheryl, but in this moment, my victory with Lorek felt just

as significant.

As soon as the award ceremony ended and the press interviews wound down, I left from backstage, my mind still reeling from the whirlwind of the evening. The gold medal hung around my neck heavy with accomplishment but also with the weight of everything that had transpired. Stepping into the cool night air of the car park, I spotted Lorik waiting for me. He leaned against his car, arms crossed, his expression a mixture of relief and worry.

I slipped into the passenger seat, and Lorik, ever observant, immediately reached for my hand. He

rubbed my wrist gently, his thumb brushing over the faint bruises from the accident earlier in the day. "Are you sure you're alright?" His voice was low, concern evident in his eyes as they scanned me for any sign of pain. Lodded

Lodded, trying to reassure him. "I'm fine, really. It wasn't as bad as it looked."

Just as Lorik opened his mouth to respond, my phone rang, startling us both. I glanced at the screen-Daria. Before I could answer, the voice on the other end was already shrieking.

"Sister-in-law! I can't believe you're Cheryl! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm your biggest fan!" Daria's enthusiasm was palpable even through the phone.

I couldn't hold back a laugh, her energy was contagious. "Daria, you're acting like I've been hiding a deep dark secret."

"But you have!" she shot back. "Do you even realize how famous you've just become?"

Lorik, sensing my amusement, leaned in and gently took the phone from my hand. His tone was icy

when he spoke, "Daria, don't disturb her right now. She's resting." Without waiting for a reply, he ing up the phone, shaking his head in mild irritation.

"She was just excited," I said, though I appreciated his protective streak.

"She's always excitable," Lorik muttered, but his gaze softened as he looked at me. Before I could say anything more, my phone buzzed again, this time with a notification from a Twitter-like app called "Flare."

*Check the trending topics, your Luna's going viral," Daria's voice echoed in my mind, and with a

mix of curiosity and dread, I opened the app. My eyes widened as I scrolled through the trending list.

#HelmetReveal Moment

Practically the entire top ten trending topics were about me. But the video that dominated was a clip of me stepping out of the car, pulling off my helmet. Someone had added a dramatic soundtrack to it, and the views had skyrocketed-over a hundred million in just a few hours. The comments were

flooded with praise and curiosity about who I was.

"This... this is unreal," I breathed, staring at my phone in disbelief. "I've gone viral."

Lorik, watching me intently, smiled with quiet pride. "You've always been a star. Now the world just

knows it too."

By the time we reached the hotel, I felt drained but in an oddly euphoric way. Everything was happening so fast. When Lorik pulled up in front of the entrance, he didn't make a move to leave. Instead, he turned towards me, his gaze lingering. After I Let Go My Alpha, He Knelt in Regret

"I'm here," I said softly. "You can go back now."

Big star," Lorik teased, though his voice carried a note of seriousness. "If I leave now, when will I get to see you again?"

I could feel that he was trying his best to suppress his possessiveness.

In the past few days I have been showing my face more and more, becoming more and more dazzling, and I am surrounded by more and more excellent men, which makes him feel very crisis.

He looked at me as if he wouldn't leave until he got an answer.
