Alpha's Regret: False Mate True Luna novel Chapter 144

I jerked my head up, looking at him in disbelief: “You… what did you say?”

Ferris wasn’t angry, his eyes deep as if hiding a storm, pressing me word by word: “Tell me now. What exactly do

you want?”

We were extremely close, I could even see the mottled shadows under his eyelashes. I steadied myself, forcing composure: “I just… wasn’t resigned, wanted to have you once.”

Another lie.

Ferris let out a low laugh from his throat, pressing my head into his embrace, that laughter seeming to carry a bit of broken sadness: “You got it now, so what’s next?”

“Do you want to leave me?”

His tone was like a knife. Before he finished speaking, my shoulders were suddenly gripped tightly by his large palms, with force so heavy it seemed to embed me into his chest.

My breathing stopped, enduring the pain: “I…”

“Do you believe,” Ferris’s voice was low and cold, speaking through gritted teeth, “without my permission, you’ll never be able to leave Silver Moon Pack even one step!”

My body trembled, breathing tightened.

But I couldn’t show weakness.

I raised my head, biting back: “Whether I can leave or not isn’t up to you. As long as I have divorce papers, I can leave!”

Ferris narrowed his eyes, like an eagle staring at prey: “I will never sign divorce papers.”

My heart jumped – he indeed hadn’t received the divorce notice. There must have been a problem somewhere in the process.

“You’re just thinking this temporarily,” I spoke calmly, yet looked directly at him, “sooner or later, we’ll have our separate lives.”

Ferris’s expression visibly changed.

He suddenly became even more furious not because of my words, but because of my “independence,” my “detaclument.”

He suddenly tightened his arms, and I frowned in pain: “You’re hurting me…”

Ferris’s fingers loosened, as if burned, his whole body freezing.

I pulled the blanket to shrink back, my gaze indifferent: “I’ll get up first.”

I glanced at the messy clothes scattered on the floor, almost none intact.

I could only wrap the blanket tightly, preparing to get out of bed.

”

But as soon as I moved, my wrist was yanked back by him, my whole body falling into his arms again.

“What’s the rush?”

His Adam’s apple rolled, murmuring in a low voice: “Didn’t you say before… you wanted to be real husband and wife with me? Holding hands, embracing, kissing…”

My heart shook violently.

That was my former self from long ago.

The me who foolishly liked him, willing to give everything.

The me who thought marrying him meant we could be together for life.

But now… I was no longer her.

“I don’t dare hope for that anymore.” I answered softly.

Ferris’s eyes darkened a few degrees, thin lips pressed tight. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said in a low voice:

“Then let’s try it.”

I jerked my head up, looking at him in amazement: “What did you say?”

Ferris met my gaze, his tone low and calm:

“Let’s be a normal couple for one month. I’ll do as you said eat together, hold hands, kiss, even…”

”

He paused, as if making a huge decision, “If you’re willing, after one month, you can leave. I won’t stop you. Money, past debts, everything wiped clean.”

My heart jumped violently.

His proposal made a thread of hesitation creep into my mind.

I bit my lip, asking quietly; “Are you serious? You won’t lie to me?”
