Alpha's Twins Chapter 297

Natalia's soft moan made Adrian squeeze his eyes shut. The sound was so damn tempting that he nearly lost all control and gave in to what he'd been fighting against.

Natalia's eyes fluttered closed as she became acutely aware of how close they were, how intimately his tongue was working against her wound.

"A-Adrian, let me go. Max won't like this if he finds out."

The mention of Max as her boyfriend made his eyes snap open. He jerked his head up to look at her face.

When Natalia felt him pull away from her chest, she slowly opened her eyes.

She couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw the blood on his lips. His eyes were dark and intense as they locked onto hers.

"If you mention another man one more time to try and distract me, I'll do something you'll definitely regret tomorrow."

She didn't want him healing her wound like this. But the way he was threatening her, she was genuinely afraid he'd follow through.

She turned her head away, unable to meet his gaze.

Adrian went back to her wound, trying to focus. The wound itself wasn't the issue—it was where the damn thing was located that was driving him crazy.

It was the ultimate distraction.

If he could actually control himself and let her go after healing this, it would prove he really was made of stone.

He closed his eyes and continued working on her wound with his tongue. The bleeding was getting worse the more he licked it.

He was the only one who could heal this wound. So he needed to get it done as fast as possible.

He couldn't stand seeing her this vulnerable.

Meanwhile, Natalia started feeling a sharp pain in her chest. As time went on, her wound began to throb.

It felt like someone was pouring salt directly into an open cut.

When Adrian's grip on her hands loosened, she immediately pressed them against his shoulders.

"It hurts."

She tried to push him away, but he shifted his full weight onto her and wrapped both arms tightly around her waist.

She tried to move but couldn't. She felt trapped as he pinned her down with his arms.

"It'll stop hurting soon," he muttered against her skin.

She bit down on her bottom lip to keep from moaning. She had no idea the healing process would be this painful.

When the pain slowly started to fade, she stopped struggling and stared up at the ceiling.

Gradually, all the pain melted away. Her wolf began stirring restlessly inside her. His touch was making her body respond in ways she didn't want.

Whenever Max tried to kiss her, she always managed to push him away because her wolf and her body rejected it completely.

But right now, they were craving this man's touch.

It felt like a betrayal.

When Adrian finished healing the wound, he pressed a kiss to her chest and nuzzled his nose against her cleavage. He couldn't help himself.

He looked up at her and realized she'd fallen asleep.

He let out a shaky breath as he stared at her unmarked skin. There were no traces of injury left. Her body looked like it was begging to be touched.

He shook his head and moved up toward her face. He watched her for a long moment without moving.

He tilted his head and kissed the corner of her lips softly, then whispered,

"God, I wish I could mark you as mine right now. But I'll never do that without you wanting it too."
