Chapter 557:
The sincerity in his confession caught me off guard, instantly heating my cheeks. I lowered my head, hiding my embarrassment behind the veil of steam rising from the bathwater. “Alright, I understand… Now just help me wash my hair.”
Ethan didn’t push the subject any further. Instead, he gathered my long hair in his hands and gently massaged my scalp, his movements surprisingly careful and tender.
Closing my eyes, I relaxed into the warm water and let it soothe the exhaustion weighing on my body.
Even so, I couldn’t stop grumbling inwardly. Ethan’s injury hadn’t fully healed, yet his stamina seemed completely unaffected. How was that even possible?
By the time I woke up, darkness had already settled outside the window.
I slowly sat up, my body still aching, and the silk robe slipped from my shoulder, exposing the faint marks Ethan had left behind.
After taking a moment to collect myself, I ignored the soreness in my legs and climbed out of bed.
Downstairs, the living room was illuminated by a single warm lamp. The house was unusually quiet, with no sign of anyone around.
I headed toward the backyard. Before I even reached the glass door, a burst of bright laughter drifted into my ears.
The scene that greeted me made me stop in my tracks.

Beneath the moonlight, an enormous black wolf was stretched lazily across the lawn.
It was Ethan’s wolf form, powerful and imposing, every inch of him radiating the aura of a dangerous Alpha.
Yet at that moment, the fearsome pack leader became little more than a giant toy for his children.
Ruby laughed so hard she could barely catch her breath as she tugged playfully on his fluffy ears and climbed all over his broad back without the slightest hesitation.
Silas, meanwhile, sat beside one of the wolf’s massive paws, calmly attempting to wedge a tiny flower between the sharp fangs capable of tearing through an enemy’s throat.
My heart immediately leaped into my throat.
Among werewolves, the head and abdomen were sacred areas that no one was allowed to touch, especially for an Alpha as proud and dominant as Ethan.
Yet he simply lounged there without the slightest annoyance. When Ruby nearly slipped off his back, he even curled his thick tail around her protectively.
The moment he sensed me, those sharp green eyes lifted and locked onto me with precision.
“Mommy!” Ruby squealed and immediately launched herself toward me. She crashed into my arms, her cheeks flushed pink with excitement. “Daddy is amazing! He played hide-and-seek with us and even let us ride on his back!”
I gently brushed the damp strands of hair from her forehead, a complicated warmth rising inside me.
Ethan was obviously trying to make up for lost time, showering the children with every bit of affection he could.
A thud sounded behind me. Ethan had shifted back into his human form.
Bare-chested, he walked toward us, the moonlight outlining every hard line of his muscular body. His defined abs and powerful frame spoke of years of strength and discipline.
His overwhelming presence made me instinctively take a step backward.
