Lucien watched Emma, desperation showing in his eyes. If there really were that many cubs, panic would be nothing–he would completely fall apart.

Emma fell asleep in Lucien’s room, letting the quiet and warmth surround her like a gentle tide.

She didn’t emerge until dinner was nearly ready.

As she closed Lucien’s door, the one beside it swung open. Malrik emerged just then, his eyes lighting up the moment he spotted her.

“Ms. Tibarn.”

He walked over to her in a few confident steps.

His voice was gentle, edged with a hopeful uncertainty. “Could I trouble you for a moment? I need help choosing a bedsheet.”

The serious look on his face made it clear this was important to him.

“I want something you’d like,” he continued quietly. “But I don’t know what your favorite color is. Would you help me decide?”

Damp curls stuck to his temples, showing he had just showered. His loose robe was open at the collar, revealing his smooth, fair collarbones.

He tilted his head, the movement natural, filled only with honesty and a gentle, careful hope.

Emma blinked, surprised by how difficult it was to say no to him. Dinner isn’t ready yet. Helping for a moment can’t hurt.

She nodded. “Alright. I’ll help.”

Classic Enchanter. Charm Technique or not, someone like him never needed tricks; just being around him could make anyone lower their guard.

As Emma followed Malrik, Calum came over, sounding annoyed. “Figures. Enchanter Clan. No Charm Technique needed; just look harmless and confused, and the female follows you in.”

If Malrik ever really tried, someone as direct as Calum would have no chance.

A cool, clean scent welcomed Emma into Malrik’s room. The room was simple but welcoming, and every detail seemed carefully chosen.

He led her to the bed, then reached into his storage band. One by one, he set wrapped packages on the mattress and carefully unwrapped them.

It was all bedsheets.

They spread across the bed in a gentle cascade of color.

Emma’s lips quirked. She picked up a sheet and asked, “Why do you have so many bedsheets?”

She wondered, Is he imagining something here?

“I prepared them in advance,” Malrik replied softly, his eyes never leaving her. “Not just the sheets–other things as well. I don’t know what you prefer, so I brought choices for everything. I wanted this room to feel like somewhere you’d be comfortable.”

Emma shook her head a little. “But this place is only temporary. We’ll be returning to the Central Planet in two days.”

Malrik answered without pause, his tone steady and sincere. “Even if you’re here for only a moment, I want it to look the way you like.”

Emma gazed at him, feeling her heart melt as the last of her resistance slipped away.

So this is the Enchanter?

He’s dangerously good at this.

It is almost overwhelming, enough to bring tears to my eyes.

“You shouldn’t only think about me,” she stated. I want to know your preferences, too.”

“My preferences?” Malrik echoed.

His fingers found the sash at his waist. With a gentle tug, the knot loosened, and the fabric parted as he stepped closer. He took Emma’s hand and placed it over his heart.

“My preference is you, Ms. Tibarn,” he murmured, his lightly callused fingertip tracing over her lips. “Whatever you like, I like as well.”

His low voice curled through the air like a quiet Dame, soft but edged with danger. The warmth of his breath grazed her ear, sending sparks racing through her nerves.

Her hand remained pressed to Malrik’s chest, feeling the steady strength of his heartbeat

beneath her palm–one beat then another. The faint imprint of his fingertips lingered on her lips, lightly rough and tingling with a secret thrill

Emma felt utterly ensnared,

She met his gaze, rose onto her toes, and pressed a hesitant kiss to his lips. They were soft, a little cool, with that subtle sweetness that always seemed to cling to him.

Malrik had been waiting for this.

The instant their lips touched, he took control. His arms wrapped around her waist, drawing her in and leaving no space for retreat as the kiss deepened.

He was an Enchanter; even without the Charm Technique, he could still make people fall for him.

For a heartbeat, the room seemed to hold its breath. Only the soft, uneven sound of their breathing filled the quiet.

Then, Edric’s voice drifted faintly from the corridor, calling everyone to dinner.

Malrik finally loosened his embrace, though reluctance lingered in his touch. He kept his arm around Emma’s waist, resting his forehead against hers as their breaths mingled, slow to settle.

Her lips were flushed and a little swollen from the kiss, and they glistened softly, Heat lingered in her cheeks, her eyes hazy, as if she had not quite returned to herself.

The sight made Malrik swallow hard. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his gaze darkened with unmistakable desire.
