Chapter 210 Ointment and Tension

Nira’s POV:

His scent made my heart hammer against my ribs.

Then Lyra surged forward, that primal part of me suddenly pushing a wild, urgent thought to the surface. Mate with him. Now

I gritted my teeth, forcing Lyra’s impulse down. Taking a shaky breath, I shifted back just an inch, putting a sliver of space betv

That’s when I realized–he was only adjusting my grip on the racket. His hand was steady around mine, his touch practical, no possessive.

We were standing way too close. His scent, clean and subtle like sun–warmed wildflowers, wrapped around me, leaving me strangely unsteady.

‘Hold it like this. You’ll have better control,” Kade said, his voice a low, rough murmur near my ear.

His warm breath brushed my skin, and a faint shiver ran through me. I nodded, trying to focus. “Right. Got it.”

Kade released my hand, moving to the other side of the court to pick up his own racket. “I’m going to serve. Just try to return it

He tossed the ball up with an easy motion and sent a gentle, looping serve my way. I watched its arc, nervous, and swung. My fi was awkward, but the racket connected with a solid thwack, sending the ball back over the net.

‘Nice!” Kade’s smile was genuine, encouraging. “Let’s go again.”

As we kept playing, my movements grew less stiff, more fluid. I started to actually enjoy it–the rhythm, the focus. Kade was endlessly patient, coaching me through each stroke.

After a while, I wiped the sweat from my brow with the back of my wrist and laughed, breathless. “Okay, I’m beat. Time for a bre

Kade walked over, offering a chilled bottle of water. “Take a minute.”

I accepted it, took a long sip, and then looked up at him. “Guess you’ve added another skill to my repertoire. Thanks, kade.”

“Anytime,” he replied, his smile softening.

My gaze lifted to meet his–those warm, deep eyes that seemed to hold entire worlds. For a second, I just got lost in them. They were so intense yet gentle, with a pull I couldn’t quite explain I simply fell in

Sure, Lyra got all stirred up around Damian sometimes, too that was just our wolfish side reacting But this What I felt around Kade was entirely different from anything I’d ever felt for anyone else.

I wasn’t ready to call it a crush yet I needed to test the waters a bit more

After we finished up, we headed back to the main house Edith was already settled in the living room. She glanced up as we walked in, her smile warm and knowing “Back already? Did you two have a good time?”

“We did. I even learned the basics of tennis,” I said, returning her smile

Edith nodded, looking pleased. Her eyes flickered between Kade and me, and that knowing little smile played on her lips again

“Good. It’s nice to see you youngsters spending time together.”

Julie piped up from across the room, “Mr. Howell is always buried in work. Never gets any fresh air. Maybe now that Ms. Soren is around, she’ll drag him out more often.”

Kade cleared his throat, deftly steering the conversation elsewhere. “How are you feeling today, Grandma? Any aches?”

Edith waved a dismissive hand, chuckling. “I’m perfectly fine. Don’t you worry about me. You two go on upstairs, get cleaned up You’ve been at it all morning.”

We nodded and headed to our respective rooms.

After a quick shower and change, I was ready to put my plan with Kade into motion…

Kade’s POV:

That afternoon, Nira led me on what felt like a full tour of the estate grounds. She seemed fascinated by every little detail.

She’d point to various plants and flowers in the garden, firing off questions. I answered each one, my gaze never leaving her. A quiet, deep contentment settled in my chest.

But confusion lingered, too. I distinctly remembered her saying last night that she needed my help with something specific. Yet t whole day had slipped by without her mentioning it once.

Finally, I couldn’t let it go. “Nira, last night you said you needed my help. What was it?”
