  Aria POVOver my dead body will I let something as evil and disgusting as you thrive here,” she spat out, and the next thing she did shocked me to the bone.She walked over to Lillian and started dragging her by the feet in an attempt to pull her out of the bed she was lying in. This little action of hers immediately got me angry as I stood up and pushed her away slightly. “What is wrong with you? You can see that she's not doing well and needs to be taken care of. Why would you drag her out of bed like that? That is not fair.”“I am doing what needs to be done for the welfare of this pack and my son, so do not stand in my way,” she said as she attempted to walk towards Lillian and do whatever she wanted, but I had to stand in the way to stop her, getting increasingly angry by the moment.“You cannot just drag her away; that's not right,” I clasped my hands together in an attempt to beg and plead with her. “I promise I understand how you're feeling and why you think I might be evil to

  Aria POVI decided to do something more productive for the day, like visiting my friend in the hospital. The thought of what I said to Killian kept replaying in my head, and at that moment, I wished I hadn't said all of that because it might seem like I was being dramatic. But there wasn't much I could do when he was willing to talk to me when I was so upset.I couldn't help but send curses towards that evil Lyra. She is the reason all of this is happening, and for some reason, I cannot get my mind off the fact that maybe she and Killian could be involved in some way. How else would she get the courage to do what she did? It is all so very confusing.I strolled into the place where Lillian was being treated and the first person I saw was Mammon sitting next to her while holding her hands. I couldn't help but smile at myself when I saw this. Lillian is such a good person and deserves someone as good as the beta. It was really a blessing for her to meet someone like him, and he was also

  Aria POV“Please, let's talk things out, Aria,” he called as he walked towards me, trying very hard to catch up. I made sure to walk as fast as my legs could carry me, wanting to keep as much distance as possible between us. “Aria, please just wait and let us talk,” he pleaded while I continued walking fast and said,“I really do not want to talk to you, Alpha Killian,” adding his title just to spite him at that moment. He soon hastened his walk, catching up to me as he held my hand and said,“Can you just wait and listen to me, Aria?” I yanked my hand from his grip and crossed my arms, waiting patiently for what he had to say while looking away, not willing to make any form of eye contact with him, all the while trying my very best to control my rising anger. “Aria,” he called my name, taking steps towards me to close the distance between us. I immediately stepped back, not wanting to be anywhere near him at that moment, as I crossed my arms again and looked away, preventing eye cont

  Aria's POV I wiped the tears rolling down my face as I tried my best to steady my beating heart. At that moment, I wondered why they had managed to hurt me like this. I knew something was going on between them, but I had thought Killian was different. I believed he was a nice person who wouldn't do anything to hurt me, but it pains me to realize just how utterly wrong I was about him. How could he have done this to me? I slid down the door, crying and clutching my chest in an attempt to control the pain I was feeling in my heart. But it seemed nothing was working. All those sweet words and confessions of love were all meaningless. At the end of the day, all he wanted was Thelia? What was the point of leading me on if he was just going to return to her? The betrayal was almost too much to bear.“Aria, I can explain,” Killian said, knocking on the door to my room, trying to go inside. At that moment, keeping him at arm's length was the only thing I wanted. I was hurting badly, feeling

  Killian POVI was stunned when my mother mentioned death, and I instantly looked around but saw nothing. “Mother, there is no death here,” I muttered, trying to calm her down so she could explain what was wrong. “They are.” She pointed at Killian's car, and my heart raced when I saw the defiant gaze of Mammon. Could it be that Lillian has passed away? I walked to the car to examine her situation, and then I saw Lillian lying in the car with an oxygen mask on her face. A sense of dread washed over me as I saw how uncomfortably she lay on the seat. “Have you all lost it? What happened to the hospital? Why is she here? Do you want her death?” I asked thousands of questions in an instant, but none of them could utter a word in response. “I stopped them. She is dead already,” my mother responded. My ears ached from what I heard, and I loosened my grip on the car door and yelled at my mother. “Mother!” She shrugged as I yelled. I could see her fidgeting on the spot. I quickly mainta

  Aria POVMy heart felt like it was sinking into my chest as I listened to the conversation between Killian and Mammon echo through the hallway. What does Lucian want from me?Their voices were tense and urgent, and a chill ran down my spine. I wrapped my arms around my belly, feeling the slight bump that held our future, and a sense of dread settled over me. “Why does he want me as leverage for Lillian’s freedom?” I whispered to myself, my voice barely audible. I couldn’t understand what game Lucian was playing, but the fear of it tightened around me like a vise. The air felt heavy, pressing in on me from all sides, and tears welled up in my eyes. I struggled to comprehend how much Lillian's freedom could cost and why Killian seemed so powerless in this situation. “How much is her freedom that you can’t afford?” I cried, my voice breaking with each word. “Mel, stop this,” Killian pleaded, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and concern. He reached out, his hand warm and reass
