The instant I stepped into the restaurant, my gaze locked onto the stunning woman sitting there, effortlessly captivating.

I could watch her for hours, every single day, and never grow tired of it.

Maybe this was what people called love-the way just seeing someone could send your heart racing.

Gripping the bouquet tightly, I felt a wave of nervousness wash over me.

I remembered reading about her favorite flower in her diary. She had mentioned it while writing about mine.

As I approached her, she turned her head away, deliberately avoiding my eyes.

I murmured an apology. She spoke my name, and the receptionist overheard.

Immediately, he bowed his head in a mix of respect and fear. I quickly told him to keep my identity to himself.

Not every member of my pack had seen me in person. While most were familiar with my face from social media, we were fortunate that the majority didn't recognize us on sight.

Otherwise, moving freely within the pack's territory would be nearly impossible.

"This is for you."

She lowered her gaze, finally noticing the bouquet in my hands.

For a moment, it seemed like she hadn't realized it was meant for her.

"For me?" she asked.

I nodded. "Hmm."

Watching her stare at the flowers, I gently took her hand and placed the bouquet

in her grasp.

She lifted her eyes to mine but remained silent.

Holding her gaze, I spoke softly, letting my emotions seep into my words.

"I know you love roses. So I brought you white ones. They symbolize purity... and forgiveness."

Her expression changed. A slight frown formed on her face, and suddenly, her eyes turned cold.

A sharp pain twisted in my chest. I hated that look-the icy distance between us. "I'm sorry for everything."

At least I had managed to say that much. Letting my pride get in the way wasn't an option anymore. My heart had too much to say to her.

For months, I had forced myself to stay away. But I had come to realize that it was impossible.

I couldn't keep my distance. I couldn't live with the weight of regret any longer.

The least I could do was tell her how much I regretted everything.

Maybe, just maybe, she'd find it in her heart to come back to me someday.

Selene smiled.

That small curve of her lips brought a flicker of warmth to my chest.

I was relieved she had accepted the flowers.

But then, I noticed something-her smile never reached her eyes.

She lifted the bouquet to her nose and inhaled softly.

Her gaze remained locked on mine, unwavering.

Then, without warning, she turned away and began scanning the room.

"Are you looking for something?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yeah."

Her expression brightened when her eyes landed on something across the room.

She took a few steps toward the corner, then stopped.

Turning back, she met my stare, her face unreadable.noveldrama

I offered her a small smile.

But that smile froze on my lips when she tossed the bouquet straight into the trash bin.

Calmly, she walked back to my side, standing right next to me.

Then, with a quiet, cutting voice, she murmured,

"Everything turns to ashes at your touch."
