I froze, his question hanging in the air like a blade poised to strike. He wanted to know why I agreed to marry him?

'Because I loved you more than anything, Kane Thorne. But you crushed my love every single day,' I thought bitterly. The words stayed locked in my mind, never making it past my lips.

My gaze drifted to the horizon, to the other side of the bridge where the sky was open and clear. The clouds moved slowly, just like the storm of emotions swirling in my heart.

Memories of the past flooded my mind, unbidden. Once again, I was dragged back to that night-the night that changed my life forever.noveldrama

My cousin, who had bullied me for years, had called me to a club. I remembered the way her voice sounded when she told me to sleep with some man. I begged her not to make me do it, pleaded for mercy, but she was merciless. She threatened to hurt me if I refused.

I was terrified. I had no choice.

I still remember how I showed up, fully dressed, clinging desperately to the hope that I might escape whatever horror awaited me. But deep down, I knew what was coming.

I tried calling my adoptive parents, hoping they might help me, but my adoptive mother's voice was cold and dismissive. She told me she didn't want to get involved in "cousin matters," as if forcing me to sell my body was a trivial family disagreement.

I couldn't believe it. My cousin had sold me to an old man. Panic gripped me like a vise. I was just a young girl, a virgin, and a werewolf without a wolf. I had no strength, no power to defend myself. My life was already a living hell, but the thought of losing my purity to a stranger-being sold like some object-was unbearable.

I tried to escape. I ran as fast as I could, dodging my cousin's men, until I collided with someone.

When I looked up, my breath caught in my throat.

Kane.

It was him. Kane Thorne.

The man I had dreamed about for years. The man I had secretly loved for as long as I could remember. No one knew the depths of my feelings for him, not even him. I had carried that secret in my heart like a fragile treasure, never daring to let it see the light of day.

And there he was, standing before me.

For a moment, hope surged within me, drowning out the fear. But then I saw the men chasing me. They were closing in.

Without thinking, I threw my arms around Kane and turned him away from the approaching danger, shielding him. His arms wrapped around me instinctively, his hands brushing against my body. I could feel the alcohol on his breath as he leaned closer, his fingers grazing my cheek.

"Listen," I whispered, my voice trembling. "They're after me. I don't want your life in danger because of mine. Please, just go."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I spoke. Even in that moment, as I stood on the brink of losing everything, my only thought was of him.

But Kane didn't move. Instead, he smirked, his drunken gaze locking onto mine.

"What if I can save you tonight?" he said, his voice low and rough. "Will you give yourself to me?"

His words stunned me. I stared at him, disbelief and confusion warring within me.

Behind him, I could see the men closing the distance between us. Time was running out.

I loved Kane. I always had. And in that moment, faced with the choice between losing myself to a stranger or giving myself to the man I loved, the decision was clear.

I nodded.

Kane's eyes widened slightly, as though he hadn't expected me to agree. Without another word, he grabbed my hand and pulled me toward a nearby door. We slipped inside, and darkness enveloped us.

He was drunk, but I was painfully sober. I felt every moment, every touch, every ache. I was a virgin, and his moves were rough, unrestrained. The pain was real, but I didn't stop him. I loved him too

much.

I let him take what he wanted, believing that this was the closest I would ever get

to being with him. In that moment, I thought I was the luckiest person alive.

Because I wasn't giving myself to just anyone-I was giving myself to Kane Thorne, the man I had loved with all my heart.

I loved him so much that I was willing to endure anything for him. To dedicate my life to him. To sacrifice everything. Even if it meant losing myself in the process.
