Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 89.Ā The DealĀ
š Arria POV I was still half-lying against his chest, my body soft and useless. Fenrirās arms were wrapped around meāthe left one resting on my thigh and the other making slow, steady, reassuring circles over my back. He was waiting for my reaction, worried about how I felt. He shouldnāt. Yes, embarrassment tried to slip in, but I pushed it away because he did not deserve that, and because I did not regret a single thing that had happened between us. āIt wasā¦ā I wanted to break the silence, to let him know I felt content, but I hadnāt prepared the words. āSomething,ā I finished, for lack of another, more precise word. It sounded stupid. I knew that. But my mind was still mushy and lazy, and apparently that was the best it could offer. āSomething?ā he repeated, tasting the word, his tone carefully neutral. It did not sound enough to me either. āA very good something,ā I added softly. His hand stilled on my back for a second, then continued. Okay. That hadnāt gone as I had
Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 88. The ExceptionĀ
š Fenrir POV Control was meant as protection. It was the wall between me and the world that kept others safe. That was the universal truth I had grown up with. But Arria had proved herself the exception. From the day I first met her until now, neither Alaric nor I had ever felt anger toward her. We did not feel threatened. Or challenged. Not in the way that triggered the curse. Every time she said no, Alaric purred āCuteā. If she provoked me, he heard it as an invitation to play. His destructive nature went quiet when it was just me and her in the room. So keeping my control intact when we were alone with her was more habit than objective need. And nowā¦ Now she was angry and had emptied the room just to take on the role of seductress. Her anger fueled her boldness. And that boldness made her willing to explore. I thought she was pushing for a reaction from me. I knew she was. āLetās play.ā Right. Her physical proximity was waking another kind of beast in me. Not
Born to shineĀ Ā Ā Chapter 87.Ā Let go
š Arria POV They took the hint and left the moment I finished talking. āYou are ordering them now?ā Fenrir asked. I did not answer. Instead, I slipped my arm up his chest and over his shoulder until I had a hold on him. I pulled myself into his lap with my knees on both sides of his legs. His fingers twitched, but he let his hands stay relaxed on the sofa. Fine. My gaze moved up his arm, over his shoulder, and landed on his neck. It was flawless again, without a trace of the mark I had given him. I tilted my head slightly, considering whether to make him a new one or if the first had been pathetic enough. āI liked it while it lasted,ā he said, his voice steady. Before I had to decide what to do with that information, he tilted his head slightly. The invitation was clear. And I would not refuse him. Or myself. I leaned in, my cheek brushing his. He stilled, and a small smile rose to my lips. The anger had made me bold, but his reaction to me made me bolder. I wanted t

š Arria POV Gregās mouth tightened. He had probably already seen more than ten different ways to make Melanieās presence there work in our favor. Ways to help her strengthen her position inside Oak Crest. But he kept it to himself. āWhere does the loyalty of those thirteen packs lie?ā Fenrir asked. āPractical,ā Greg answered. āNot emotional.ā Fenrir gave a slow nod. āGood. Practical loyalty is easier to predict.ā Marthaās fingers tapped once against the table. āIf we pressure them, we make ourselves look like the threat.ā āWe wonāt,ā Fenrir said. āWe donāt threaten supply lines.ā My breath caught. I had seen too many decisions made regardless of what they cost other packs. Not Fenrir. He named the dependence without turning it into a threat. āWe strengthen them,ā he continued. āWe do not tell the communities that they need us. They already know that. We simply make it impossible for them to forget it, or underestimate our words.āJudging by Stoneās expression, he was a

š Arria POVāLess good,ā he said.The water was running in the shower.The meeting at ten was in less than twenty minutes now.He had said everything.It had to be everything, because he was silent now.But he did not move. Did not step back. Did not lean in.He only held my gaze in a way that made my heart thump faster in my chest.Warmth spread under my skin.For a moment, I was sure he would kiss me.But instead, he took one sharp breath and retreated, leaving the bathroom without a word.I stayed there, my head empty and my heart full.Slowly, reality came back.The water was still running, and I was still sitting on the sink countertop.I slipped down unsteadily until my feet touched the floor, then pulled my clothes off.My reflection caught me in the mirror.My skin was flushed. The braid I had made that morning was barely recognizable anymore. But that was not what made me go still.It was my eyes.They were shining.Not the dull green they had become after Aron entered my li

š Arria POV āCome on, Arria,ā Greg said. āYou are faster than this.ā āI could two hours ago,ā I breathed out, never breaking the series of evasive steps. āNow I canāt feel my legs or my arms.ā He didnāt slow down. Of course he did not. I kept retreating, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, turning my shoulders just enough to avoid the next strike. Greg was not trying to hit me hard. He was trying to make me fail. And I was very close to giving him the satisfaction. My heel touched the wall. I realized it a heartbeat too late. Gregās fist came forward and landed right beside my head, cracking into the plaster hard enough to send dust and tiny white pieces raining down over my shoulder. I froze. Then I placed one hand against his chest and pushed. Greg stepped back at once. I slid down the wall and landed on the floor, breathing like I had run across half the realm. āYou are dismissed, Your Royal Cruelty.ā Greg laughed. āIāll take that as a compliment.
