After I Let Go My Alpha He Knelt in Regret

Chapter 146

I watched in horror as Lorek collapsed in front of me, his body crumpling to the floor, blood pooling rapidly around him. It felt as though the world had stopped in that instant. My breath caught in my throat, and I could feel a searing pain surge through my chest. We were honded, mates, and no matter how complicated my feelings for him had become, the thought of losing him like this was unbearable. My body trembled as the agony of our connection being severed echoed inside me.

My eyes snapped open. The celling above me blurred for a moment as I tried to process where I was. It was just a nightmare. I took a deep breath, pushing away the lingering sense of dread that clung to me. The room was dim, silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioner.

I pulled the covers off and slid out of bed, my bare feet making a soft sound on the cold floor as I walked to the window. Pulling back the curtains, I gazed outside at the cityscape. Even at this late hour, lights flickered in windows, and distant sounds of activity echoed through the streets. But

despite the lively scene, I felt a profound loneliness.

The emotions from my nightmare still clung to me, but strangely, they also brought clarity. As I stood. there, staring out into the night, I felt like I had touched something essential-the emotion I needed for *Elegy for a Lost Love*. I didn't know how long I stood there, lost in thought, but the sudden, sharp ringing of the doorbell jolted me back to reality.

In the stillness of the night, the sound was eerie, slicing through the silence. My heart raced. I approached the door cautiously, my body tense as I held my breath. "Who is it?" I called out, my voice steady but guarded.

"It's me," a familiar voice replied. Lorek. His voice, deep and smooth, brought with it a wave of conflicting emotions-relief, annoyance, and something else I couldn't quite name.

I opened the door, and there he stood, tall and imposing. Before I could say anything, he pulled me into his arms, his embrace firm and possessive. I could smell the scent of earth and wind clinging to his shirt. His voice was soft in my ear, almost a whisper. "I missed you, so I came."

I pushed against him slightly, arching an eyebrow. "Missed me?" I teased. "Or did the warriors tell you Maurice was there and you couldn't sit still?"

Lorek chuckled, his eyes flashing. That might've been one of the reasons." He smirked, but his expression softened as he looked at me. "But mostly, it's because I wanted to see you."

Remembering my earlier dream, I asked. "Is your wound fully healed?" My hand instinctively brushed against his arm, but before I could think further, Lorek bent down and scooped me into his arms, effortlessly lifting me off the ground. After I Let Go My Alpha He Kner in Regret

"Hey!" I exclaimed, my voice caught between amusement and surprise. "Put me down."

"Just a second," he murmured, carrying me toward the bed. Gently, he placed me down and leaned over me, his face inches from mine. His gaze was intense, filled with desire. "Did you miss me? he asked, his voice a low rumble.

I looked away, trying to suppress a smile. "No," I replied coolly.

Lorek's lips curled into a grin. "But I missed you." His tone deepened, and his hand slid down my arm. His touch was slow, deliberate, as though savoring the moment.

I squirmed slightly, trying to pull away, but he wouldn't let go. His fingers brushed against my waist, and I could feel the tension in his body, the heat between us. "I want you," he whispered, his voice Chick with need.

I rolled my eyes, trying to maintain my composure despite the heat rising in my cheeks. "Go to the bathroom and take care of yourself," I said firmly, pushing him back just enough to make my point. Lorek sighed dramatically but gave in, retreating to the bathroom. "You're no fun sometimes," he

muttered playfully as he disappeared behind the door.

The next morning, we stepped out of the hotel room together, only to run into Maurice leaving the room across the hall. He was impeccably dressed as usual, his sharp suit highlighting his lean. elegant frame. His eyes landed on us, and I saw a flicker of surprise cross his face.

"Maurice?" I asked, blinking. "You're staying here too? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

Maurice offered a small smile, his eyes briefly flicking over to Lorek before dropping to the floor. T didn't want to disturb you," he said softly, his tone as polished as ever. "Besides, I'm leaving for the next city soon. Just wanted to say goodbye.

Before I could respond, Lorek's arm slid around my waist, pulling me closer. He smiled, but there, was a sharpness to it. "My Luna is here on business, so naturally, I had to come check on her."

Aher I Let Go My Alpha. He knelt in.
