Chapter 10 The waiter rushed over , his face pale . Im so sorry , Alpha ! I mustve misplaced the stand- Silas waved him off , his focus entirely on me . Are you okay ? he asked , his voice thick with concern . I nodded , though my mind was racing . That was part of my plan , to get Silas hit with champagne and make a public spectacle of himself . Of course , this was just the beginning , and I would make Silas live in my shadow every day for the rest of his life . Silass shirt was soaked with champagne , and I noticed the dark stain spreading across his back . Youre hurt , I said with feigned surprise , my voice softer than I intended . shook his head , giving me a lopsided grin . As long as youre alright , thats all that matters . I bit any lip , torn between my anger and something else something I didnt want to acknowledge . I have a shirt in my car . Its for my brother , but he wont miss it . You can change into it . Silas followed me out to the parking lot , his gaze never leaving me . I handed him the shirt , and he changed right there , his movements quick and efficient . You look … good , I said , the words slipping out before I could stop them . Silas smiled , his hand brushing a strand of hair from my face . Lorelei , youre beautiful , you know that ? His lips moved closer , and for a split second , I almost let him kiss me . But I tilted my head just in time , avoiding his touch . Silas laughed softly , clearly embarrassed . Thank you … for the shirt , he said , his voice low . For the rest of the reception , he stayed by my side , never straying far . But no matter how close he stood , I reminded myself of one simple truth : Silas may have been my past , but he would never be my future . After the reception ended , I stood outside in the cool night air , feeling the weight of Silass gaze lingering on me even after our encounter . The moon hung low in the sky , casting a soft glow over everything , and I knew that Silas wasnt far behind me , hoping for one last chance to speak with me before I left . As I turned to look for Branwens car , which was now parked by the curb , I noticed Silas making his way toward me , his eyes filled with longing and confusion . He hesitated before asking , Can I take you home , Lorelei ? I smiled softly, not giving him an answer . The silence between us felt thick , like a tension neither of us was willing to break . No need , I said as I climbed into Branwens car , the door closing with a finality that echoed between us . Silas , still standing outside , pressed on , desperate for something more . When will I see you again ? he called out , his voice tinged with hope . I didnt answer . Instead , I gave him a small , mysterious smile , one that I knew would keep him wondering . Thats all I needed to keep him dangling on the edge of uncertainty . I could see it in his eyes : the frustration , the desire , and the confusion all swirling together , unable to place me but unwilling to let go . As Branwen pulled away , I felt a strange satisfaction knowing Silas would spend the next few days replaying our encounter , waiting for the next time we might cross paths . He wouldnt stop thinking about me about Lorelei -and that was exactly how I wanted it . Inside the car , Branwen drove in silence , his jaw clenched tightly . The tension radiated from him as he gripped the steering wheel , his knuckles turning white . I glanced over at him , sensing his anger simmering just below the surface . Whats wrong ? I asked , breaking the heavy silence . 12.28 Alphas Regret : Magnificent Return of the Rejected Luna 17.6 % Chapter 10 He didnt look at me , his eyes fixed on the road ahead . You smell like alcohol , he said coldly , the words laced with disapproval . I raised an eyebrow . I havent been drinking , I replied defensively . Its all over Silas .
