MainNovelChapter 470: It Didn't Happen
Sofia’s POV
My wolf whimpered in my chest, her pain mirroring mine. | wanted to scream, to tear at something, but instead, |
stood still, cold and numb, refusing to let him see how much it hurt.
"Fine," | said quietly, forcing my voice not to shake. "You're fucking other women, then | guess | can too."
His head snapped up at that, his eyes flashing with something dark, but instead of the rage | expected, he only
scoffed.
"I never stopped you," he said flatly. "Do whatever you want."
Those words shattered me. Completely.
The Damien | knew, the man who once couldn’t stand another man even looking at me, was gone. The Damien
who used to pullclose, mark me, whisper that | was his and no one else’s—he wasn’t standing here anymore.
This version of him was cold, distant, and unrecognizable.
| swallowed hard, my throat burning. "Right," | whispered. "Do whatever | want."
| turned away before the tears could fall, before | humiliated myself any further. My legs felt weak as | walked out
of the room, but | didn’t stop until | reached my own. | closed the door quietly behindand leaned against it,
my breath shaking.
The moment | was alone, | crumbled.
I curled up on my bed, hugging my knees to my chest as silent sobs tore through me. | hated myself—for still
loving him, for still wanting him even after everything. For caring when | should've stopped a long tago.
Every memory of us crushing back—the laughter, the moments together, the promises. And now, all that
was left was this emptiness that clawed at my heart.
| cried until | couldn't anymore, until exhaustion numbed the ache in my chest. My eyes were swollen, my throat
raw, but finally, | drifted into a half-sleep, my mind too tired to fight the pain.
Then, I heard it—the sound of keys turning softly in the lock.
My heart skipped a beat. Instantly, | knew it was Damien.
I quickly wiped my face and closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. My breaths cslow and steady as |
listened to the door creak open.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFootsteps. Slow, deliberate. The air shifted with his scent—warm, musky, achingly familiar.
He stood there for a while, just watching me. | could feel it, the weight of his gaze heavy on my skin.
Part ofwanted to sit up, to scream at him, to ask why. But | couldn't. | stayed still, silent, my heart pounding
painfully in my chest.
When he finally moved closer, the mattress dipped slightly as Damien sat down beside me, his scent wrapping
aroundin a way that made my chest tighten. | kept my eyes closed, my breathing even, pretending to be
asleep. | couldn’t face him. Not after what he said.
For a moment, he didn’t move. The silence stretched between us, heavy and suffocating. Then his voice came,
low and rough, carrying that familiar edge that always seemed to cut straight through me.
"I know you're awake, Sofia."
My pulse quickened, but I didn’t move. | couldn’t. My back was still to him, my hands gripping the blanket tightly.
He sighed softly. "You always try to hide when you're hurt."
The sound of his voice alone made my eyes sting again, but | forced myself to stay still, to keep pretending. |
didn’t trust myself to look at him—because if | did, all the anger | had left might collapse into longing.
He shifted slightly, his voice quiet, almost hesitant now. "I wasn’t with her."
I swallowed hard, my heart hammering. Don’t react, Sofia.
He continued, his tone sharper now, like he was trying to convince both of us. "She—my secretary—she drugged
My fingers tightened around the sheet.
"I didn’t know it at first," he went on, his voice low but urgent. "She cinto my office after a meeting, said she
wanted to discuss something important. She offereda drink. | didn’t think anything of it." He exhaled shakily.
"But then everything started to blur. My body wasn’t responding right. She tried to—" He stopped, his jaw
tightening audibly. "She tried to take advantage of that."
He paused, letting the words hang between us.
"But my wolf reacted before things could go further," he said, his tone rough, sounding sincere. "He neutralized
the drugs. I didn’t touch her, Sofia. | swear I didn't."
A tear slid silently down my cheek, but I still didn’t turn. | wanted to believe him—Moon, | did—but my heart was
too raw, too bruised to let hope in again so easily.

He moved a little closer, his warmth brushing against my back. | could feel the tremor in his voice when he spoke
again. "You think I don’t love you anymore, but you're wrong."
My breath caught.
He let out a faint, humorless chuckle.

The silence stretched again. My wolf whimpered softly, her anger melting into confusion and aching hope.
"Maybe one day," he said quietly, almost in a whisper, "I'll prove it to you. Maybe one day you'll see that | never
stopped."

So | stayed still, pretending to sleep, while his confession hung in the dark like a fragile truth neither of us knew
how to handle.
And when | felt his fingers brush lightly against my hair, trembling before pulling away, | knew that despite
everything, he still cared.
And worse, | still did too.
