Chapter 562: Pain (Extra Story)
But what she feared the most still happened.
As the searing pain tore through her, Aurora’s tears spilled uncontrollably. Her body trembled violently, yet the man above her showed no tenderness. This night would be forever etched into her memory—a night she would never forget.
It was Everett’s first time tasting the essence of a woman. He was like a beast, starved for thousands of years, leaving countless bruises across her delicate skin.
For someone untouched before, Aurora couldn’t withstand such ruthless aggression. By the time it was over, she was completely drained, her mind blank, and her consciousness slipping into darkness.
When she finally awoke, she found herself covered with a blanket. The air still carried a strange scent. She pressed her lips together, barely shifting her body—only to be met with unbearable pain.
Tears surged forth again, unbidden and unstoppable. Through the veil of shimmering droplets, she saw a man sitting at the edge of the bed, silently smoking.
Everett’s bare torso glowed under the dim light, his bronzed skin adding to his dangerously seductive aura.
He noticed her, wrapped tightly in the blanket, quietly crying. He had intended to mock her, to say something scathing—but as the words reached his lips, he found himself unable to utter them.
No matter how unworthy she might be in his eyes, he had been the one who came to her, forced himself upon her. To ridicule her now would be beneath even him.
"This time, I’ll take responsibility," Everett said after a moment of thought.
His life had been filled with women desperately clinging to him, yet not a single one had ever truly become his.
