After I Let Go My Alpha He Knelt in Regret

Chapter 97

Lorik looked at me with a mix of guilt and regret. "No," he admitted, his voice barely audible. "But I wanted to give you the best of everything. Not just the title, but a life worthy of you. Now, I'm stuck in this bed, unable to even give you a simple hug. And there's someone

better waiting for you..."

I froze, my heart sinking. "What do you mean by that?"

Lorik's eyes were heavy with resignation. "I've investigated that vampire, Maurice. He has enormous wealth and influence among the vampires, and he's clearly fond of you. Even without him, Narik has feelings for you, and once I'm no longer Alpha, he's the most likely candidate to take

ver."

The mention of Maurice and Narik stirred something deep within me, a mix of frustration and

sorrow. But before Lorik could say another word, I leaned down and pressed my lips to his, cutting off his speech. His breath hitched in surprise, but then he responded, his hands trembling as they moved to my back, pulling me closer. The kiss was desperate, filled with all the emotions we had been holding back-fear, love, pain, and hope.

When we finally broke apart, both of us were breathless. Lorik's eyes searched mine, confusion and longing evident in his gaze. "Do you understand now?" I whispered, my voice shaking.

'I'm not leaving you, Lorik. I haven't forgiven you for what you once did to me, and I'm not sure I've

fallen back in love with you. But I, as Luna, will stay by your side until you get through this, and nothing will change that.'

I could see the conflict in his eyes, the battle between his pride and his love for me. 'But I don't want you to stay with me out of pity.'

'So I'm leaving now?' I said deliberately.

I could feel Lorik's hand tighten on my arm as I said the words.

'I don't want you to leave.' There was pain and reluctance in Lorik's eyes.

"But my leg... it's incurable. My pride can't accept that I'll be a burden to you for the rest of your life. You deserve the chance to find a new partner, to live a life without the weight of my problems."

I shook my head, refusing to accept his words. "Who said your leg is incurable?"

Lorik's face fell, his voice dropping to a low murmur. "I overheard the doctors talking when I woke

from the coma. They said there's no chance I'll walk again unless a miracle happens."

He paused, his eyes filled with despair. "But how could a miracle happen twice for the same person?"

sad smile tugged at my lips as I looked at him. My heart is broken for the man I once loved. "Lorik,"

it wasn't a miracle."

His brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Taking a deep breath, I reached out and placed my hand gently on his injured leg. Lorik flinched slightly, his eyes narrowing in suspicion, but he didn't pull away. "Trust me," I whispered, closing my eyes as I focused on the connection between Lena and me. A warm, white glow began to emanate from my hand, and as it did, I felt the power flow through me and into him. Lorik's eyes widened in shock, his breath catching in his throat. "Shirley... what are

u doing?"

The sterile, whitewashed walls of the hospital ward did little to comfort anyone who stepped inside. The air was thick with the scent of antiseptic, mingling with a faint aroma of lavender from a small, wilting bouquet that someone had left by the window. Lorik lay in the bed, his normally powerful frame weakened by injury, but his presence still filled the room. His face was a mixture of confusion and disbelief as I sat beside him, my heart pounding with the weight of the truth I was about to

reveal.

"This is the ability of Lena and me," I began, my voice steady despite the nervous energy thrumming through my veins. "We have the direct bloodline of the Moon Goddess, and we can heal your

injuries."

For a moment, Lorik's face was blank, as if he hadn't fully processed what I had just said. Then, slowly, his eyes widened, and he stared at me, unmoving, like a stone statue frozen in time. "So... a year ago, when I was able to get back on my feet..." I nodded, watching the realization dawn on him. "You were able to recover a year ago because you

were healed by me."

His expression crumbled into one of shock and remorse. He looked as though the very ground

beneath him had shifted, leaving him adrift in a sea of guilt. "Oh my God," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "What have I done?"
