Chapter 192: _ You Have a Wolf

I stepped closer to her, my chest brushing hers with my fingers trailing up her arm until they met the zipper of her dress.

Oh, how warm and soft she felt. My pretty flower. My María José... mine and mine alone.

She sucked in a sharp breath.

I didn’t speak. I didn’t give her time to argue. I undid the zipper, slowly peeling away the fabric, and exposing the mark that was meant to be mine.

And the second it was revealed, I felt it.

I felt a jolt. A shock. A burn that raced down my spine.

A jolt of power shot through me. Dios, it was violent, electric, and consuming.

Something ancient seemed to awake. I could feel the aura sizzling around us.

Something impossible.

A wolf.

María José had a wolf.

My mind fumbled for a reason. My lungs were confiscated. My pulse erupted.

I staggered back, as if struck by lightning, my fingers still tingling from where they had touched her. From where I had felt her.

It wasn’t just a wolf.

It was her wolf.

It wasn’t just stirring.

It was roaring.

Like it had been locked away for too long. Like it had been buried, caged, and silenced. And now, it was weeping and yearning to be freed.

I had come here for answers.

I never expected this one.

The realization hit me pretty hard, and for a moment, I staggered back, overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of it. My fingers still tingled from where I had touched her, from where I had felt the wolf.

It wasn’t just stirring... it was roaring. I could feel it now, this presence inside of her. It’s so wild and untamed. It had been buried, silenced, and locked away for so long. And now, it was awake. It wasn’t just a wolf. It was her wolf, and it was yearning to be free.

As much as my mind fumbled for a reason, there was nothing to hold onto. All I could do was feel it. This is it. The one thing I had been searching for, the answer I had been hunting for had been right in front of me this entire time.

The room felt charged and electric. The air was charged with the power of what had just happened. And then, just as quickly as it had appeared, it was gone. The feeling faded, slipping away like sand through my fingers, leaving me confused.

The wolf, the bond, the power; they were gone, and in its place, I only had the quiet sound of María José’s ragged breaths and the shock on her face.

I turned my eyes back to her, who had stumbled back, her legs giving way beneath her as she collapsed to the floor. "María José!" I called out, my voice rough with concern.

She gasped for air, her chest rising and falling rapidly, and eyes wide with something I couldn’t quite place... fear? Confusion?

Without thinking, I rushed to her side, kneeling beside her as she struggled to sit up, her hand trembling on the floor.

"Hey, hey, look at me," I said, gently cupping her face. "You’re okay, María José. You’re okay."

Her gaze met mine, and I saw the hint of disbelief in her eyes. It was almost like she couldn’t quite process what had just happened.

I couldn’t help the small, involuntary smile that crept onto my lips. It’s real. She has a wolf. She’s not just... she’s not just an Omega. She’s mine.

María José frowned, her brows furrowing in confusion as she looked at me. "What’s so funny?" she asked.

I chuckled softly, still in awe of the discovery. "Didn’t you feel that?"

She blinked, clearly not understanding what I was talking about. "Feel what?"

Huh? She didn’t feel it?

My smile widened, and I inclined, wondering how best to break this to her.

"Your wolf, María José. I just felt it. I felt your wolf."

Her face scrunched up with confusion. "What are you talking about? I don’t have a wolf."

My expression softened, though there was still that gleam of something powerful in my eyes. "You do. You do have a wolf, María José. And I can’t believe it. I’ve always known. I’ve always known there was something more to you. Something hidden. And now, I’ve felt it. I’ve felt you."

Her lips parted, her breath shaky as she tried to process what I was saying. But then her confusion seemed to give way to something else.

I saw the way something in her posture softened, and I could see the hint of hope in her eyes.

The possibility of having a wolf seemed to lift her mood, her features relaxing as if a weight had been lifted.

"You really think I have one?" she asked quietly, almost unsure, like the idea had never occurred to her.

I nodded, my gaze never leaving hers. "I know it. I felt it. That bond... it’s real."

María José blinked a few times, and then, to my surprise, a small smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Well, then... can you do it again?"

Whoa...

I hadn’t expected that at all. She wanted me to do what again?

I froze, my heart skipping a beat. "What?"

"Whatever you did that made it come out. Can you do it again?" She beamed, and I could have sworn I heard some little bit of teasing in her tone.

The playful glint in her eyes caught me off guard, but there was no way in hell I was going to back down now. My mind was already racing, desire flooding me as I looked at the mark on her shoulder.

The urge to touch it again... to feel that connection, that surge of power, to make the wolf inside her rise again was overwhelming.

And would I want to do it again? Oh, Señoras y señores, with great pleasure.

I took a deep breath, my fingers itching to reach out to her. "You sure you want that?"
