Aria's POV

When I woke up again, the office was painted orange and gold. The sun was nearly set.

"Aria," Maya said softly, reaching out and shaking my shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I said in a voice thick with sleep, already sinking back into the couch.

"Aria," Maya began again in a lowered voice. "The custody hearing–"

I shot to my feet.

"Yes! Where's Liam? Where's Luna? Where's Frost?" My gaze quickly darted around the room. Then I checked the clock hanging overhead. "Oh no–I overslept. Time is now against–"

"Relax!" Maya cut in with a smile, reaching out and placing both her hands on my shoulder. "I took the twins home already. Bathed them and fed them. They're in my office."

Relief hit me so hard.

"Frost went back to his pack," she continued. "Went to handle some matters. But he'll be back before you all leave for the Sacred Path."

I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that I grabbed her and pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you," I whispered.

She hugged me back, but

    Aria's POV For a brief second, my heart jumped.Must be Frost, I reasoned. And I was right.He pulled up beside me and stepped out, his presence slowly easing the tightness in my chest. He leaned down to my open window, smiling. "Hey," he said. "I see you're ready to claim what's yours, aren't you?" I chuckled despite myself. "Thank you for coming, Frost." His hand reached in and lightly pinched my cheek. "All will be fine," he said gently. Then, he straightened and pulled his hand away. "You'll drive behind me." I nodded, then watched as he gave off a slight nod before walking back to his car. He started it, and pulled out. I followed, watching his taillights like a lifeline. As we drove past my apartment building and into the main road, I found myself wondering what I would ever do without Maya and Frost. My gaze casually flicked to the rearview mirror, and I saw a dark and unfamiliar object taking shape. It soon came into full view, taking the form of a car. It turned whe

    Aria's POVVera paused, then leaned back against the edge of her desk. One of her heels crossed lazily over the other, her arms folded as if she were weighing some difficult puzzle. I saw her gaze drift somewhere past my shoulder. If I hadn't been trapped inside my own body, I would have believed she'd totally forgotten I was there at all. But she hadn't, as just then, her gaze turned back to me and her lips slowly curved. She gave off the expression of someone who had just come up with some brilliant idea. "You know," she said lightly. "I almost forgot how motivating personal attachments can be to someone." What was she talking about?She chuckled. "You have a friend, a good friend named Maya. Don't you?" My breath stuttered. How did she know all this? Vera paused and watched my reaction, more like she had intentions of reading my thoughts. Then, slowly, her expression changed. The faint amusement in her eyes suddenly drained from her face, and all the warmth vanished from her

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 160: Vera

    Aria's POVThe very moment my hand tightened around the doorknob, something impossible happened. It wasn't pain or magic–at least not any kind of magic I knew. It was as though the very concept of independent control had been stripped from my body. My fingers instantly froze mid-twist, and my arms locked. Just then, my breath hitched so hard it felt like my lungs had slammed into a wall. This was followed by a sudden, completely alien pressure that wrapped around me. My eyes flew open in disbelief, and my lips parted in a silent gasp. Total horror consumed a large chunk of my thoughts as my brain screamed commands that my body did not answer. I had been.... paralysed. My wolf tried to fight against this foreign attack. It slammed into the inside of my chest, snarling and clawing–but it finally rebounded helplessly. All hope seemed to be lost. Then I heard her voice again. "Now, turn around, Ms. Stone." To my absolute, bone deep terror, I watched myself obey her voice. My han

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 159: A Strange Force

    Aria's POVThe door closed softly behind me, and I turned to see a woman standing by the window with her back to me. She had parted the blinds with her fingers, and she stood very straight with an immaculate posture. But I was quick to note the deliberateness of her stillness. It was more like she knew who had just entered her office even before turning around. I was sure she did. Clearing my throat, I took a few steps in. My boots were soft against the carpet, and I stopped just short of the desk. Then, slowly, the woman released the blinds and turned to face me. Gosh, she was way younger than I expected. Not young-young, but certainly not looking old enough to carry the weight of a neutral district on her shoulders. Her hair was natural and dark, her face angular with sharp cheekbones. She possessed plain brown eyes that seemed to be always assessing and measuring. With unhurried confidence, she walked toward the desk, heels clicking softly against the floor. "An hour late, M

  • Alpha's Regret: His Rejected Hybrid Mate    Chapter 158: The Clock Does Not Wait

    Aria's POV Back then, the write-up said, witch-wolf hybrids had no sanctuary. No pack or coven wanted them. They were seen and recognized as outcasts by the two worlds, and they were hunted relentlessly. They were also feared by witches and wolves alike, and killed wherever they were found. But they continued to multiply, as witches still secretly had sex with wolves, even though they'd later turn around and despise the resulting children.So, after several decades of suffering such fate, they forged a coven. It was initially not for power or conquest–but purely for survival and protection. It was a sort of umbrella that promised their kind that they'd never stand alone. I nodded slowly as the pieces settled into place. Being a hybrid myself, I understood that kind of fear and isolation. But I knew I'd never understand fully, as the times were very different now. With the emergence of neutral grounds like the Silvermoon District, no one hunts hybrids in the open anymore. Laws, coun
