Aria’s POV

The burn salve stung every time I moved my face.

It wasn’t sharp pain anymore but a constant pull, like my skin was too tight and raw under the bandages.

No matter how often the healers cleaned it, the smell of herbs and smoke clung to me. They told me the burns would heal well if I rested. That my wolf would help over time.

I nodded and agreed. Then I ignored them. Lord Astra was awake today. That was the only thing that mattered.

The corridor outside his chamber was quiet in the

  • Divorced Mate: Now Untouchable   Chapter 73: Call The Trackers

    Lycus’s POVThe alarm came from below the pack house.The blood-scent resonance system I had ordered years ago, which I had never turned off.A system tied to one archived signature. One name.I was already moving before the second pulse hit.The sound cut through the silence. My wolf surged forward, every instinct alert.My heart slammed hard.No. It couldn’t be.I dragged the door open and stepped into the corridor, half-dressed, my aura hitting hard enough that servants pressed themselves flat against the walls.“Who triggered the resonance grid?” I demanded.No one answered.They didn’t even know it existed.I took the stairs two at a time.My wolf was pacing now, restless with hope.By the time I reached the control chamber, three technicians were already there, scrambling over glowing rune panels.They straightened quickly when they saw me.“My lord!”“What happened?”“The old blood-linked system was triggered,” the lead technician said.“I know that. By what?”He hesitated. My

    Aria’s POVCharlotte closed the door quietly behind her and looked at Sera lying unconscious on the ground.Then she sighed.“That worked faster than I thought.”I stared at her.“You… what?”She lifted a tiny glass vial and slipped it into her pocket.“Sleeping powder,” she said calmly. “Charles said I shouldn’t use too much.”I stared in disbelief.Then she walked toward the bed.When she reached me, her expression changed completely. Her small hands gripped the edge of the bed as she looked at me with quiet focus. Her face was delicate, almost doll-like, but her eyes held a quiet depth.“Mommy,” she whispered.My breath caught.“Charlotte…” My voice came out rough. “Is it really you?”“It’s me,” she said, nodding.The answer settled something inside me.‘My daughter.’I tried to sit up. But Charlotte reacted at once, pressing lightly against my wrist.“No, Mommy. You’ll hurt yourself.”Her tone was gentle.I eased back against the pillows.“…Okay.”She climbed onto the chair beside

    Aria’s POVThe kiss lingered.I hadn’t realized how tense my body was until Astra’s hand slid gently over mine.The healer’s words still echoed in the back of my mind, but the moment no longer felt like a medical decision. It now felt… personal.Astra didn’t push me. He paused every few seconds, almost as if checking whether I was still comfortable.His lips brushed mine again, slow and patient. The bond between us reacted instantly, the mark at my neck warming as our wolves stirred.“You’re thinking too much,” he murmured.“Maybe,” I admitted quietly.His thumb brushed lightly across my wrist.“You don’t have to.”Slowly, the tension left my shoulders. Astra lowered his forehead against mine, his breath warm against my skin.“Tell me if you feel weak,” he said.“I will.”But the truth was, I didn’t feel weak.Not the way I had before.The bond between us had already begun to mend the fractures inside my wolf. Every time he touched me, I felt something inside my chest settle more firm

    Aria’s POVAt first, I thought I was still dreaming.Everything felt distant. My body lay somewhere far away, as if I were floating just above it. I could feel warmth around me of soft blankets, the faint scent of herbs, and the steady pulse of another wolf nearby.Even half-conscious, I recognized Astra. The bond between us was no longer fragile but deep inside my chest like a second heartbeat.But something else lingered.Small voices.“…Mommy…”“…we came…”The memory slipped through the haze.Then the weight in my mind lifted, and my eyes opened.The ceiling came into focus. It was Astra’s residence, the healing wing.I was alive.I inhaled carefully. The pain that once filled my chest had faded. The mark at my neck pulsed faintly, Astra’s strength flowing through it like a quiet current.My wolf stirred. Weak, but awake.“Good,” I whispered.The door opened.Astra stepped inside, stopping for half a second as if confirming I was truly awake.“You’re awake.”“Yes.”He crossed the r

    Astra’s POVCharles found the photo in the morning.I knew because I heard Charlotte gasp from the next room, followed by hurried footsteps and Charles’s voice dropping into that quiet, proud tone he used when he thought he had discovered something first.I hadn’t slept. Aria’s condition had worsened again overnight. The strength from my mark had steadied her briefly, but her wolf was still fading beneath the surface. Every breath she took was labored.So I didn’t stop them but stood just outside the doorway, watching.Charles sat cross-legged on the rug, holding the photograph carefully. It was one of the few I had kept of Aria before the fire. Her hair loose, her expression turned slightly away, as if caught mid-thought.Charlotte knelt beside him, her hair a soft mess.“That’s really her?” she whispered.Charles nodded. “Look at her eyes.”“They look like yours.”“No. Mine looks like hers.”Charlotte touched the edge of the photo gently. “She’s pretty.”“She’s our mother,” Charles

    ARIA's POVAstra's kiss left me dazed.And when our lips came apart, I found myself clinging to him weakly, "What was that for?" I whispered.He ran his hand softly across my cheek, "I don't know. I suppose every part of me has been yearning for you all day. I spoke to the tribe's doctor.""Oh." I whispered as he helped me sit on the bed. I didn't need him to elaborate on why he needed to see the healer. He's been looking for every way to help me find a solution to my life force fading away. "What did the doctor say?" I asked, trying to be hopeful. But the pain in my bones kept reminding me that I was running out of time."I think there's a way to make you stronger…but I don't know if you'll be comfortable with it."Hope -the fickle thing- sparked up in my heart immediately."Tell me. I think I'm willing to do anything.""Well-" Astra began and ran a hand over his hair, "The doctor believes I can share some of my strength with you using our mate bond. But for that to happen… I have
