"What the hell did I just do?"
Now that the storm of emotions had passed, clarity returned to Chen Tian. A heavy wave of regret washed over him, tightening his chest. He couldn't believe how recklessly he'd acted. What had come over him? His dragon instincts had taken over in the heat of the moment, but now he was left to face the consequences.
As he replayed everything in his mind, a sickening realization hit him—he had crossed a line. One that couldn't be undone.
"Mm~"
His gaze drifted to the woman sleeping beside him. Baihu's peaceful face, with her arms wrapped around his chest, made his guilt grow heavier. Her face nuzzled into his shoulder, unaware of the turmoil in his heart. Her serene smile only deepened his inner conflict.
"I just hope she isn't furious when she wakes up." He sighed, rubbing his temples.
