Contractually Married my ex-mate's father 108-You kissed me
Chapter One Hundred and EightAriaThe entire garden went silent immediately. Not quiet, but silent, like the kind that hit all at once, heavy and stunned, swallowing every sound around it.My breath caught somewhere in my throat as Zane kissed me, one hand firm against my waist, the other brushing lightly against my jaw like this was natural, intentional, planned,like he hadn’t just detonated the entire garden.Heat rushed through me instantly, sharp and overwhelming, not soft, not pleasant, but confusing and hot and infuriating all at once.Because this wasn’t just a kiss,it was a statement. A public one at that too, and somehow that made it worse. My fingers curled tightly against his chest for one brief second before I shoved at him hard enough to force space between us.“What the hell was that?” I snapped immediately and the silence somehow deepened.Behind me, I heard one of the noblewomen suck in a quiet breath, while another looked seconds away from fainting.Good. Let them.Z
Contractually Married my ex-mate's father 107-Shunned
Chapter One Hundred and SevenAriaBy the third guard rotation, I was ready to lose my mind. I sat rigidly on the stone bench in the garden, staring at the fountain ahead of me while two guards lingered several feet behind like badly placed statues.They weren't even trying to be discreet or subtle. Instead, they stood behind me, watching, following and reporting me like I was some spoilt child who'd taken an extra piece of candy even after being told not to.My jaw tightened as I crossed one leg over the other, trying and failing to ignore the weight of their presence pressing against the back of my neck.Zane had actually done it.The realization still irritated me more than I wanted to admit. When he’d given me that ultimatum in the corridor, I thought it was another one of his control tactics. A threat meant to corner me into backing down, apparently not.Apparently, he’d meant every word and I'd been stupid enough to think otherwise.Fuck.The thought was beyond infuriating, soI
Contractually Married my ex-mate's father 106-Bad influence, Strict methods
Chapter One Hundred and SixZane“Step away.” I repeated the words again, even though I doubted it did too much. I didn’t raise my voice,I didn’t need to, because the words landed clean and cold, cutting straight through whatever had been building in that room. Kieran froze where he stood, his hand still hovering too close to the restraints for my liking.For a second, no one moved, then slowly, deliberately, I stepped forward, placing myself between them.Kieran’s gaze snapped to me, something sharp flickering there. There was a little bit of guilt, but what shone out more was resistance.Of course.“What are you doing?” he asked, his voice tight. “What did you just do?”I didn’t look at him immediately. My attention stayed on the chains, on the space between him and her, on the fact that he’d gotten this close, too close. If I had stayed outside for even a minute, then I didn't even want to think about what would have happened.“Stepping in,” I said finally, my tone even. “And stopp
Contractually Married my ex-mate's father 105-Maybe Aria was right
Chapter One Hundred and FiveZaneThe report was useless. I read it once, then again and again, but nothing changed. They were the same words, the same empty conclusions and the same careful phrasing that meant absolutely nothing.My grip tightened on the paper before I let it fall onto the desk.“They moved before we got there.” I read the line out loud this time, my voice flat. “No trace. No witnesses.”Maybe reading it out loud would change the variables, or help me admit that I wasn't hallucinating. Or perhaps it would give the soldiers a chance to correct my mistake.I counted to ten, but silence answered me. No one answered or tried to counter me, and that was when I realized that I was cooked.Slowly, I lifted my gaze. The soldiers standing in front of me didn’t move. They didn’t speak and didn’t even breathe too loudly, like that might set me off.Too late for that.“They moved,” I repeated, quieter now. Then I leaned forward slightly, my eyes locking onto them. “So what you’r

Chapter One Hundred and FourAriaI hadn't been a fan of prolonged silence and this one wasn't an exception. It stretched more than I would like and with each passing second, I felt it pressing against me on all sides.Zane didn’t move right away, and somehow, that was worse than if he had. His presence filled the corridor without effort, pressing into the space like something deliberate, something calculated.Then, finally….“Clear the hall.” His voice wasn’t loud, it didn’t need to be, because the command cut clean through the air, and the guards nearby didn’t hesitate. Boots shifted, movement followed and within seconds, the corridor emptied, footsteps fading until there was nothing left but the three of us.Me, Zane and Adeline. My pulse ticked once, sharp and steady, but I didn’t look away from him.“Leave,” Zane added, his tone just as even as before. A part of me had no idea he wasn't referring to me,until his eyes flickered to the other woman in our midst.Adeline didn’t move

Chapter One Hundred and ThreeAriaI didn’t sleep, no matter how hard I tried, sleep just wouldn't come to me. I tried. I laid there, staring at the ceiling, replaying the dinner over and over again until the silence started to feel louder than the noise.That glance.It wouldn’t leave me alone. It wasn’t just my imagination I was sure and it wasn’t a coincidence either. It had been quick, yes,, but it had been real, which meant one thing.They knew something, so I moved.The corridors were quieter at this hour, dimly lit and stretched thin with shadows that clung to the walls. My steps were light, measured, each one placed with care as I followed the route I’d memorized earlier.I’d seen where they sat, I’d seen who they spoke to, and more importantly, I’d seen who they didn’t. People who had nothing to hide didn’t move like that. They didn’t avoid and they didn’t pause before reacting.My fingers brushed lightly against the wall as I turned down another corridor, my breath steady, a

Chapter FourteenAriaSlowly, I added another finger to my clit, drawing gentle, unsure strokes and circles. I gaped, feeling a rush of pleasure travel down my spine, mixing with the heat of the pre-cum dripping down my legs.My teeth clamped my lower lip so hard that it became swollen and flushed.

Chapter TwelveAriaI didn't know why I climbed down from the bed, and I certainly didn't know why I inched closer to Zane with every step.Gosh, I could see his lips move, but I couldn't hear a single thing he was saying.My brain was just focused on his lips.I knew he asked a question, but what

Chapter TenAriaZane leaned against the bathroom door with an easy smirk etched on his lips.His annoyingly striking facial features stared at me mockingly. His mop of long, wet black hair fell over his brooding, viridian eyes that bored holes into my body and dripped water down the center of his

Chapter EightZaneAria Nightwind had never been anything but a prospective daughter-in-law to me. Make no mistake, she was beautiful.Beautiful in all the ways a blooming rose could be. But I willed myself not to spare her a second glance.I made sure I observed her with indifference then, just en
