After I Let Go My Alpha He Knelt in Regret

Chapter 101

I blinked in surprise, recognizing him as Leon, the rising star of the hockey world. He had been

making headlines recently, and his talent on the ice was undeniable. "Leon, I didn't expect to see you here," I said, a smile tugging at my lips despite the chaos of the morning.

Leon's agent, who had been standing nearby, chuckled. "He didn't plan on taking this gig, but when he heard you were the other spokesperson, he signed on without a second thought." Leon's face turned a shade of red, and he made a playful gesture as if to punch his agent, but his

embarrassment was clear. "I'm a big fan, Miss Shirley," he admitted sheepishly. "I couldn't pass up e chance to work with you."

I laughed softly, touched by his sincerity. "Thank you, Leon. It's nice to know I have such dedicated fans."

The shoot went smoother than I had expected. Leon was a natural in front of the camera, and our chemistry on set was undeniable. The director was thrilled with our performance, wrapping up the shoot in record time.

As we finished, I was gathering my things when Leon approached me again, looking a bit hesitant. "Miss Shirley, I know this might be a bit forward, but... could I give you my contact information? I'd love to stay in touch."

I paused, slightly taken aback by his request, but there was something earnest in his eyes that made it hard to refuse. "Sure, Leon. I'd be happy to keep in touch," I replied, accepting the small card he offered.

With the shoot done, the rest of the day passed in a blur of meetings and errands, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Lorik. By the time evening rolled around, I found myself outside the hospital once again. I hadn't planned on returning so soon, but something inside me wouldn't let me stay

away.

When I entered Lorik's room, he was awake, his face lighting up the moment he saw me. "Shirley,

you came back," he said, his voice filled with relief.

I offered him a small smile, trying to ignore the pang of guilt that had been gnawing at me all day. "I thought I should check on you."

He looked up at me with a mixture of hope and vulnerability, and for the first time, I felt the full weight of our bond. I had been so focused on my anger and hurt that I had forgotten how deeply we were connected. Without saying anything, I reached out, letting my hand rest on his leg as I focused

on my healing powers.

Just as I was about to start, my phone rang, the ringing breaking the silence of the room.

I hesitated and pulled out my phone, recognising the number on the screen.

It was Leon calling.

Instinct told me that I should never answer that call in front of Lorik.

Just as I was about to step out of the ward to answer the call, Lorik's hand shot out, gripping mine firmly.

His face had suddenly turned grim, the usual warmth in his eyes replaced by a flicker of something darker. "Don't go," he murmured, his voice low and intense.

I hesitated, caught off guard by the sudden change in his demeanor. I gave him a long look, trying to read the emotions swirling in his eyes. A part of me wanted to stay, to reassure him, but another part of me-one that had been hurt too many times-resisted. With a soft sigh, I pressed the answer button, deciding to take the call right there. "Hello, Leon," I said, keeping my tone light and friendly.

Leon's voice on the other end was tinged with nervousness. "Miss Shirley, I hope I'm not disturbing you. I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

Lorik's grip on my hand tightened, and I could feel his eyes burning into me. I glanced at him, noting the tension in his jaw and the way his brows furrowed. I knew what he was thinking, and it amused me more than it should have.

"Sure, Leon," I replied, deliberately keeping my voice casual. "That sounds nice. How about we meet

at the Silver Crescent Hotel? Say around eight?"

The nervousness In Leon's voice evaporated, replaced by clear enthusiasm. "That sounds perfect Miss Shirley. I'll see you then."

As I hung up, I turned back to Lorik, who was now scowling, his expression stormy. "Was that Leon?" he asked, his voice clipped. "The hockey player everyone's been talking about lately?" After I Let Go My Alpha. He Knelt in Regret
