Luis parked the car, then took my hand and led me out. He guided me into the glass elevator.<\/p>\n
Together, we rose higher and higher until we reached the very top floor.<\/p>\n
When the doors slid open, my breath caught at the shocking scene.<\/p>\n
Above us stretched a dazzling night sky, lit with stars and bursts of fireworks. It looked like diamonds scattered across black velvet.<\/p>\n
The rooftop had been decorated warmly, with balloons and bright red roses forming a private viewing deck.<\/p>\n
It was just the two of us.<\/p>\n
Luis pulled out a medical kit from who\u2013knows\u2013where and crouched in front of me.<\/p>\n
He dipped a cotton swab into antiseptic, then gently held my chin as he dabbed the swollen corner of my mouth.<\/p>\n
The sting hit instantly when the liquid touched the split skin.<\/p>\n
I sucked in a sharp breath and turned my head away. \u201cIt hurts \u2026 \u201d I whimpered.<\/p>\n
His brows pulled together, his tone sharp. \u201cNow you know it hurts? Why didn\u2019t you dodge when he hit you?\u201d<\/p>\n
But even as he scolded me, his touch became softer, almost tender.<\/p>\n
I sulked, pressing my lips together.<\/p>\n
How could I have known Desmond would slap me without warning?<\/p>\n
Even if I yelled or fought back, it wouldn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n
How could an Omega ever stand against a strong male Beta?<\/p>\n
Desmond was reckless and hot\u2013tempered.<\/p>\n

And he always protected Jillian.<\/p>\n
My eyes stung at this thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext time, you\u2019ll come with me for a training session,\u201d Luis said suddenly.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrain?\u201d I looked up at him, curious. \u201cAfter that, will I be able to take down two guys at once?\u201d<\/p>\n
He pulled a strained smile. \u201cWhat, I just played the hero and saved you, and now you\u2019re already planning to get rid of me?\u201d<\/p>\n
I shook my head quickly.<\/p>\n
My mind flashed back to how easily he had lifted Desmond earlier.<\/p>\n
His forearm had been tight with muscle, every line smooth and powerful. His presence as a pure\u2013blood Alpha had frozen the air around us.<\/p>\n
It was violent, yes.<\/p>\n
But in that moment, I thought he looked unbelievably handsome.<\/p>\n
And for the first time, I understood just how massive the gap in the strength of the bloodline really was.<\/p>\n
It was overwhelming. The difference was as stark as day and night.<\/p>\n
If I had even half of his skill, I could have taught Desmond a lesson myself.<\/p>\n
Luis carefully cleaned the cut at the corner of my mouth, then the scrape on my elbow. When he finished, he leaned back on the lounge chair beside me.<\/p>\n
One hand propped under his head while the other lazily toyed with my fingers.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, his phone buzzed.<\/p>\n
Luis gave me a quick look, then answered right in front of me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other end, a woman\u2019s voice came through. Calm but firm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard from the servant that you didn\u2019t even stop by your house to get some rest after landing. What was so urgent?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 101 Thank You, Luis<\/p>\n
I was close enough to catch every word.<\/p>\n
Luis had told me his trip would take a week.<\/p>\n

But it had only been four days. Counting the long flights, plus all the business he had to handle, that meant he hadn\u2019t slept much at all.<\/p>\n
I studied him more carefully.<\/p>\n
His profile was sharp, his eyes deep\u2013set, and his nose straight. But faint shadows lingered under his eyes. The mark of too many sleepless nights.<\/p>\n
He had rushed back just to celebrate my birthday.<\/p>\n
The thought made my chest swell. My eyes burned, and my throat tightened. The tears were overwhelming my eyes, so much so that they almost spilled over.<\/p>\n
When Luis hung up, I quickly turned my head so he wouldn\u2019t notice.<\/p>\n
After a moment, I whispered, my voice rough, \u201cThank you for tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thank you for protecting me without hesitation.<\/p>\n
Thank you for standing on my side.<\/p>\n
Thank you for the fireworks.<\/p>\n
Thank you for everything.<\/p>\n
I had always been someone who was easy to move.<\/p>\n
Back then, I gave my heart to Jake just because he once helped me with school.<\/p>\n
A woman starved for love can\u2019t resist the kind of tenderness that slips into her soul.<\/p>\n
Even if it only lasts for a single night.<\/p>\n
Luis arched a brow, then suddenly wrapped his arm around my waist. In one swift motion, he pulled me onto his chair, rolled over, and pinned me gently beneath him.<\/p>\n
His eyes never left mine. His voice was low and tempting. \u201cI don\u2019t accept empty words.\u201d<\/p>\n
I gawked at him stupidly.<\/p>\n
His long lashes cast faint shadows under his eyes. His gaze was so deep it seemed endless. I saw<\/p>\n

myself reflected there, along with the sparkle of fireworks still hanging in the sky.<\/p>\n
\u201cKiss me.\u201d<\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t a hint of hesitation. I slid my arms around his neck and leaned closer. My lips brushed his thick brow. Then the bridge of his nose. One kiss after another.<\/p>\n
Finally, I pressed a soft kiss to his cool, thin lips.<\/p>\n
Luis let out a rough breath, the sound loud in the dark night.<\/p>\n
I started to pull back-<\/p>\n
But his hand caught the back of my head, holding me close as his mouth claimed mine.<\/p>\n
The kiss grew deeper. Urgent, almost fierce, yet laced with careful tenderness. He stole my breath piece by piece until I could only surrender.<\/p>\n
I closed my eyes and let myself drown in his kiss.<\/p>\n
