Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Drunken Confessions
Selene’s POV~
| was stunned by myself. | never wanted to do it, but somehow his tears had shaken me. Without knowing, my
hand had gone up to wipe them away. The moment | realized, | quickly pulled my hand back. My face burned
with embarrassment.
| raised my eyes and forced my voice to be steady.
"Alpha, you are drunk. You should go and rest."
For a second, | thought he would say something more. But he didn’t. He only sighed heavily and threw his arm
back against the chair.
"Yeah. | am drunk. | really need rest. Can you dropto my room?"
His words stunned me. My heart stopped for a beat. | didn't want to go anywhere with him. I didn’t want to face
him any longer. | was already afraid of how much | was losing control of myself.
But before | could even refuse, he stood up. His steps were unsteady, his body leaning side to side. Then he
stumbled straight into me. His strong arm fell heavy on my shoulder, his head dropping as if he had no strength
left.
"Taketo my room," he muttered with his rough voice.
| clenched my teeth, catching his weight before he fell to the floor. My hands gripped his arm, steadying him
though my whole body wanted to shove him away.
If you cannot tolerate it, why drink so much? | grumbled in my head.
His weight was unbearable. | could smell the alcohol on his breath. It madewonder just how much he had
drunk. It was supposed to be his welcoming feast, yet here he was...like a broken man drowning himself.
| sighed and began to drag him. No one stopped us. No one even looked at us. All of them were too busy with
their drinks and games. For a moment, | wished someone would stop me, take him away, so | could escape. But
no one came. Not even one person. fucking assholes.
So | dragged his heavy body step by step. The path toward the alpha quarter felt endless. Each step made me

| wanted to throw him down right there on the ground and run away. But | couldn't. If anyone saw, the result
would not be good for me.
At last, | reached the alpha quarter. | didn’t even care which room was his. | just opened the first door I could and
dragged him inside. His body dropped on the bed with a dull sound.
| straightened, breathing hard, ready to turn and leave. But before | could step away, his hand shot up. His
fingers closed tight around my wrist.
I froze.
His grip was strong even in his drunken state. His eyes were half-lidded, heavy, but his voice cout low and
clear.
"Don’t go. Stay here with me."
His fingers held my wrist tightly. | tried to pull away, but he didn’t let go. His grip was warm, heavy, almost
stubborn.
"Alpha," | muttered, trying not to sound too sharp. "Let go. You need to sleep."
But he only closed his eyes halfway, like a child pretending to be asleep. His lips curved faintly as if he found
something funny. He mumbled something | couldn’t even catch, then shifted closer on the bed, dragginga
little with him.
I sighed in frustration. This man. He was acting drunk, but | could tell he wasn’t fully gone. He knew | wanted to
leave, and that was exactly why he held on.
"Alpha, please..." | whispered, but he didn’t answer. He only moved again, this tlaying his head on the edge
of my arm like it was a pillow.
My body stiffened. | didn’t dare move. His hair brushed against my hand, his breath warm on my skin.
| wanted to push him off, | wanted to run away. But seeing him like this—his face relaxed, his eyes closed, all the
sharpness gone, something insidefaltered. He looked nothing like the man everyone feared. He looked...
almost harmless.
| turned my head away, biting my lip. My heart was racing for no reason.
Minutes passed like that. His grip slowly loosened, though he didn’t let go completely. My frustration melted into
quiet resignation.
He was drunk, | reminded myself. Nothing more.
So | stayed there, sitting stiffly by his side, while he leaned againstas if he had finally found a little peace.
For a while there was silence. His hand was still gripping mine, and | thought maybe he had fallen asleep. But
then | heard it.
At first it was only a faint sound. A soft breath that broke unevenly. Then his chest shook, and I realized he was
crying.
"Don’t go," he whispered in his sleep. "Please, don’t abandon me. It is my fault... | never left you... | love you."
My eyes widened. My heart stopped.
He hiccupped, his lips trembling, his face turning wet with tears. The words cout broken, but I could still
hear them.
"Please don’t go, Selenr...Believe me, there was never a day | stopped loving you.
...I just wanted your attention. Forgive me...
..forgivefor what | have done.
| was blinded by the past. Please..."
His voice cracked and faded into sobs. His tears slid freely down his cheeks, soaking my hand beneath him.
| stared at him, unable to move. Each
