My Ungrateful Shifter Auctioned Me Away—Now He’s Begging for My Return Chapter 13

My Ungrateful Shifter Auctioned Me Away—Now He’s Begging for My Return Chapter 13

I started to regret not following her home before. Now, I was a guardian without a key.

When I finally saw Evelyn again, I was so happy my limbs stopped listening to me.

I rushed toward her, failed to brake in time, and slammed straight into her leg.

Then I clumsily flipped onto my back with all four paws in the air.

Evelyn’s usually cool expression shifted slightly.

It looked like she was smiling.

But I almost wanted to cry.

The embarrassment was one thing.

What truly gutted me was the foreign scent clinging to her skin.

She had taken in another shifter.

Was that why she had stopped coming to the lab?

“Kitty, you still remember me?” Evelyn knelt, her gaze softening with a warmth she reserved for

‘strays’.

“You seem to have put on some weight.”

Oh.

Cruel words could wound a shifter’s heart.

She said I had gotten fat.

“You’re impressive,” she said. “You’ve been taking good care of yourself out here.”

Evelyn took a pack of meat from her bag.

“Are you hungry? Sorry, I didn’t know I’d run into you. All I have is half a meal pack left over from my shifter.”

Left over from her shifter.

Half a pack.

Once the transfer went through, the bond contract would be severed immediately.

That kind of deal was, of course, not legal.

Which meant it was also not easy to arrange. I spent quite a lot of effort on it.

But when Rowan finally put her up for auction, everything became worth it.

What happened afterward followed naturally.

The moment I stood in front of Evelyn in my shifter form, even though she looked at me with unfamiliar distance, my heart still raced so hard it almost exploded.

She looked cold, but her heart was soft.

She was truly a very good person.

She was willing to touch me, hold me, and kiss me.

But the more intimate we became, the more her stoic walls crumbled.

The force she used on me was not heavy at all, yet her own palm turned red.

My heart ached, and I leaned down to lick it. Only then did I realize Evelyn was crying.

Her face was expressionless.

She looked down from above, in complete control of everything I was, yet tears fell silently from

her eyes.

When those tears landed on my skin, they burned like molten lava.

“I’m sorry. Does it hurt?”

“Remember this pain. No matter how much it hurts, you’re not allowed to leave me.”

Suddenly, I wanted to cry too.

Evelyn would never know how long I had schemed just to stand beside her.

How anxious I had been just to touch her.

How willingly I would give up everything just to love her.
