Selene ignored Kane's words, refusing to let them settle in her heart. She lowered her head, her voice soft as she said, "That day, after my heat... I shouldn't have said those things to you. I'm sorry."

Kane shook his head gently in response. "Don't feel guilty for anything, Selene," he replied. "I got what I deserved. Maybe this is how it's supposed to end for me. Fate decided to close my chapter this way. You didn't say anything wrong that day. I hurt you first, and maybe I got a piece of what I put you through. You have nothing to apologize for."

He paused, managing a faint chuckle. "You know, I kept your card. I put it in my study room. But since I'm dying, I can't use the money. You can keep it for Luna and Leo instead."

His words cut through Selene like a blade, each one feeling like a farewell. It became harder for her to ignore the truth: she still loved him. She had never stopped. No matter how much time had passed or how much pain she'd endured, Kane was the only man who had ever truly affected her.

How could she possibly let him go now?

“Selene,” Kane said softly, his voice full of regret. “I've always loved you. You're the only woman who's ever been in my heart. I can't forgive myself for ruining your life, but if you can... please forgive me. Consider it my last wish."

Tears poured freely down Selene's face as she listened. Her chest ached with every word he spoke, but she didn't stop her tears this time. She let them fall.

Kane reached out again, brushing her tears away with his thumb. "Don't cry," he whispered. "I promised our children I wouldn't make their mother cry for me anymore."

Selene nodded, wiping her tears quickly. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. “A few months ago,” she started, her voice trembling, “you asked me something. I rejected you then. Will you ask me again now? Maybe... maybe my answer will be different."

Kane chuckled weakly, the sound bittersweet. "My love," he said, a faint smile tugging at his lips, "you missed your chance. That time is over now."

She narrowed her eyes at him, glaring. "I'm not joking."

He shook his head slightly and let his eyes close. "Selene, I can't," he murmured. "You're lucky you didn't say yes back then. Otherwise, you'd be preparing to become a widow right now."

"Kane, 1-" she started, but he cut her off.

"You don't have to sympathize with me," he said softly, his eyes still closed. "I don't deserve it-"

Before he could finish, Selene cupped his face in her hands and pressed her lips against his, silencing him completely.

Kane's body jolted at the unexpected kiss. His eyes flew open, and for a moment, he was frozen. But then he felt her lips moving softly against his, and something inside him broke. He melted into her touch, unable to resist her any longer.

His arms wrapped around her, pulling her closer as he kissed her back. Despite his weakness, despite the pain wracking his body, he poured every ounce of passion he had into that kiss. This was the woman he had loved his entire life, and he wouldn't let the moment go to waste.

When his tongue slid into her mouth, she didn't resist. Instead, she welcomed him, her tongue dancing with his. Her hands roamed across his bare chest, tracing every line of his body with a tenderness that made his heart ache.

But then her fingers froze as they brushed against a wound. She broke the kiss, her lips pulling away as her eyes dropped to his chest. Her gaze lingered on the claw marks she had left on his skin.

Slowly, her fingers moved over the scars, her touch light and hesitant. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "For that night. I lost control and hurt you during the war, even though you only came to save me."

Her eyes met his again, glistening with emotion. "Didn't you say you wanted me to heal your wound?" she asked softly. "Let me heal it for you."noveldrama
