I lifted my eyes, stayed silent for a moment, then said, \u201cI told you I would never be mad at you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you\u2019re cold to me. You don\u2019t smile. You feed me, and then you work. The number of times you talked to me today\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She counted carefully on her fingers. \u201cNot more than ten sentences.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice was soft, a cautious little complaint.<\/p>\n
I sat down, stared straight at her, and brushed the hair at her temple behind her ear. \u201cI\u2019m only mad at myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna blinked. \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
I gripped her hand tight, gave a self\u2013mocking smile, a little bitter.<\/p>\n
Everyone thinks that as the Mooncrown Pack\u2019s Alpha, I\u2019m untouchable, unbreakable.<\/p>\n
But I\u2019m not strong at all.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m scared.<\/p>\n
Rather than being angry that you didn\u2019t take care of your body, I\u2019m angry that I didn\u2019t protect you well enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna.\u201d<\/p>\n
I pulled her into my arms, a little too hard, pressed my face into the slender curve of her neck, breathed her in, felt her warmth.<\/p>\n
Then, in a tone almost pleading and humble, I said, \u201cIf I\u2019m first in your heart, don\u2019t take risks for anyone else again.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause if this happens again, I don\u2019t know if I can bear it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I froze.<\/p>\n

Chapter 381 Selfish<\/p>\n
A tight, aching sting bloomed in my chest\u2013because of that nearly humble tone.<\/p>\n

After a while, I slid my hand to the back of his head, my fingers threading into his hair.<\/p>\n
Right then-<\/p>\n
A knock sounded at the door. Two wolf guards stood at the threshold.<\/p>\n
Luis eased back, sitting loosely upright.<\/p>\n
One guard reported, \u201cAlpha, Luna\u2019s friend, Maggie\u2013once she heard Luna had awakened, she has been waiting at the door an entire day and night. She asks to see Luna.\u201d<\/p>\n
I looked straight at him. \u201cYou don\u2019t like Maggie, do you?\u201d<\/p>\n
His face barely shifted. \u201cI don\u2019t like anyone who hurts you.\u201d<\/p>\n
In this matter, Maggie wasn\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n
The wrong one was the person who set the trap.<\/p>\n
But I also knew-<\/p>\n
If something had happened to me, the one who\u2019d suffer most would be Luis.<\/p>\n
I understood what he meant.<\/p>\n
He wanted me to be a little selfish.<\/p>\n
I told the guard, \u201cTell her to rest. I\u2019m awake. When I\u2019m better and free, I\u2019ll see her.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guard withdrew.<\/p>\n
Quiet returned.<\/p>\n
I tugged Luis\u2019s big hand, laced my fingers through his, ten interlocking ten, and softened my voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know saving people like that was saintly and reckless. I know how worried you were. I won\u2019t do it again\u2013so don\u2019t be angry anymore, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis lowered his head and slowly squeezed my hand back a bit too hard.<\/p>\n

I watched his handsome brows unknit. I knew he\u2019d cooled off.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll admit I was a little calculating\u2013leaning on his love to be willful.<\/p>\n
I rested my head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat\u2013heavy, steady.<\/p>\n
How lucky that the man I love is my fated mate.<\/p>\n
After a while, I tipped my face up in his arms and held his gaze. \u201cLuis.\u201d<\/p>\n
He looked down. \u201cMm?\u201d<\/p>\n

I pressed my lips together, then said, \u201cThere are some things I didn\u2019t tell you before. I want to tell you today.\u201d<\/p>\n
