The mansion’s dim light only deepened the oppressive silence between Hyunjin and you. He returned late, a 24-year-old alpha with a furrowed brow and a chest still damp from the steam of the bath you’d prepared. Without warning, his hands found your waist and he lifted you, settling you onto his lap in the filled tub.

His fingers brushed your cheek while you stared at him, stunned, before he leaned in to bite you softly, the moment sealing itself in a silence thick with tension.
