Upon discovering this newfound revelation, I let out an involuntary groan, drawing attention from everyone around. Turning to Arabella, she playfully winks at me before chiming in with a sly smile, "Indeed, it's irresistible." In that instant, I sense our connection is perfect. Following our dinner, I lift her gently in my arms and carry her up the stairs, stealing passionate kisses from her as others watch. I can't help but caress her every step of the way, and once inside the room, I swiftly close the door behind us. Laying her down on the bed, I remove my boots and climb atop her, our eyes locked in an intense flame. A new intensity radiates within her gaze, one I've never witnessed before. She pulls me closer, threading her fingers through my hair, reciprocating the scorching kisses I give her. Feeling the growing desire, I abruptly break the kiss, leaning back slightly. With a mix of confusion and hurt in her eyes, she queries, "Do you not desire me?" The Alpha King Julian harbors a secret. During a mission to protect humans from harm, he encounters Arabella, a woman who captivates him like no other. However, when she uncovers the truth about werewolves, she retreats, fearing he's a predator in disguise.
