Heartbroken and desperate to escape the humiliation, the rising actress spends one passionate night with a mysterious stranger… never expecting to see him again. She was wrong. The stranger is Damien Blackwood, the ruthless Alpha King, billionaire CEO, and the most feared werewolf in existence. When Damien discovers Aria is his fated mate, he vows to claim her. But Aria refuses to become another possession in his powerful world. Then the impossible happens. She’s pregnant. As jealous rivals, bloodthirsty enemies, and a deadly conspiracy threaten both her career and the unborn heir to the Alpha throne, Aria is forced into Damien’s dangerous world. But every secret he keeps pushes her closer to walking away forever. Can a love born from one unforgettable night survive betrayal, war, and the destiny neither of them chose? Or will the Alpha King lose his mate before he can claim her?

Damien read it once in the upper office while the city moved below the glass. There was no demand to come at once, no harsh wording. Only an invitation to “consult on matters of continuity.”Continuity, in Pack's speech, meant succession, claim, and the public shape of power.He went at dusk, not to the main chamber, but to a smaller private hall in the old wing of the Pack house, where the walls still smelled of smoke-darkened oak and beeswax. Three elders were waiting there: Elder Harran, thin and silver-haired; Elder Mireille, with rings heavy enough to suggest judgment before she even spoke; and Elder Cotter, who smiled as if smiling were a tactic.No guards inside, and it was intentional. Courtesy, they called it.Damien did not sit down until one of the elders nodded. He sat in the chair across from them and ke
Chapter 86 The sound of the zipper was small, almost careful, yet it seemed to change the pressure in the room. Damien stood rigid above her, one hand still braced against the doorframe, the other half-raised as if he might stop her or stop himself. His breathing had become shallow. The red at the edges of his eyes had deepened.She looked up for a moment, and neither of them spoke. The bond moved between them in thick, wordless pulses, no longer asking, only insisting. Aria felt it low in her body, a steady pull that made her thighs press together even as she reached for him. Her fingers brushed the open fabric of his trousers. Heat radiated from his skin.“Aria.” Her name left him rough. “You don’t have to prove anything tonight.”“I’m not proving.” Her voice surprised her with its steadiness. “I’m choosing.”She massaged his cock, and the weight of him filled her hand, hot, heavy, already hard. A low sound escaped his throat, half warning, half surrender. She leaned in and took hi
CHAPTER 85 Sophia arrived with her mouth still faintly swollen and her pulse still dishonest from the cause of the kiss with Adrian.The apartment was quiet in the careful way of late hours: one lamp on in the living room, the nursery door half closed, the city reduced to a distant glitter beyond the glass. Aria stood in the center of the rug as if she had been pacing and had forced herself to stop. She wore an oversized sweater and exhaustion under her eyes, but her gaze was sharp enough to cut through any prepared story.“You took your time,” Aria said.“You said now.” Sophia shut the door. “I came.”For a moment, neither of them moved. Their friendship filled the space with old loyalty and new doubt, a mix more dangerous than two strangers arguing. Sophia set her clutch on the side table and kept her hands where they could be seen, a habit from years of crisis work.Aria looked closely at Sophia, noticing how uneasy and tense she was. “What happened?” she asked.Sophia had been to
CHAPTER 84 Sophia Williams had built her adult life around other people’s emergencies. She has been trying her best to avoid Adrian Blackwood by all means after he told her that he has feelings for her.The schedules, statements, and quiet corrections before a rumor learned how to walk. She was skilled at it in the way some people were skilled at holding their breath underwater, efficient, practiced, unsustainable forever.Tonight, the calendar had no emergency on it, and that made her restless.The gathering was meant to be low-key: a glass mezzanine, a river view, a few brief appearances, and quiet conversation. Aria was already twelve minutes late, but the extraction still went smoothly. Sophia had set up the route, timed the exits, and watched the plan work. By evening, Aria was gone, back behind safer walls with her son.Sophia stayed.She told herself she was only there to do unfinished work: to stop one producer and keep one executive from turning Aria’s private life into “hum
