เข้าสู่ระบบ••OLIVER’S POV••"How the fuck am I supposed to know?" I lashed out, frustration boiling over. "I never should've given in to you in the first place. The biggest mistake I made was letting you convince me to have sex in the middle of the woods while half the pack was wandering around. It was reckless. I should've walked away. I should've ignored every instinct telling me to touch you.”A small smile tugged at Derek's lips."Maybe this is my fault," he admitted with a quiet sigh. "Maybe I was wrong to tempt you. But you can't deny what happened between us." A faint smile touched his lips. "It was exciting... it was beautiful... it was...""...Reckless," I finished for him before he could say another word.He fell silent for a moment, then gave a slow nod."...Yeah," he conceded quietly. A teasing grin slowly returned to his face as he looked at me."But you enjoyed it too... didn't you?" He raised an eyebrow as if I'm accusing him. "Why are you blaming me as if I was the only one who w
••OLIVER’S POV••“Damn, Aurelia…” I muttered under my breath, a bitter smile tugging at my lips. “You're really that desperate to break free from my control, aren't you?” I wandered aimlessly through the hallways for what felt like forever, my mind drowning in a whirlwind of thoughts. The more I replayed everything that had just happened, the more questions surfaced, each one more unsettling than the last.How had she gotten that video? What the hell was this? Who had the audacity to film me behind my back without me noticing?One thing was certain, I couldn't allow that video to get out.The moment I stepped into my room, I found Derek sitting comfortably on my bed, completely oblivious to the storm brewing inside my head. He was lazily scrolling through videos on his phone, a faint grin on his face as one clip after another played across the screen."What the hell are you doing here?" I demanded as I stepped into the room, shutting the door firmly behind me as I don't want anyone t
••AURELIA’S POV••"Leave me alone," I said without hesitation as I wanted nothing but freedom from him.A scoff escaped him as he looked away while shaking his head. "You know that's not going to happen.”"This stopped being about what I wanted a long time ago." His eyes locked onto mine."The entire pack expects us to stand together. The elders expect it. Our families expect it. Do you really think they'll simply smile and accept us tearing everything apart?”I let out a sigh. "I'm the Beta's daughter and frankly speaking, I don't give a shit what people think about me.""But you should," he said, getting to his feet and walking toward me until he was towering over me. "You should think about what the pack will say when our union is dissolved. We have a responsibility to this pack, Aurelia. We were meant to lead them into greatness. That is you and that is me."I shrugged dismissively."Your future Beta doesn't seem to have a problem with the idea of leading the pack into greatness a
••AURELIA’S POV••Oliver stared at the video for several long moments, his eyes fixed on the screen as if he couldn't look away.For a brief second, hope flickered inside me.I thought I had finally gotten through to him… I thought I had found something powerful enough to control him, something that could finally free me from his grip.But the bastard didn't even give me a second to enjoy that victory.The next moment, he threw his head back and burst into laughter.The sound exploded out of him without warning, loud, unrestrained, and completely insane.He laughed so hard that he had to wipe at the corner of his eye, as if I had just told him the funniest joke he had ever heard.When he finally calmed down, he slowly brought his hands together in a mocking applause.Clap.Clap.Clap.A smile full of pity settled on his face as he looked at me. "What exactly are you trying to do, Aurelia?" He shook his head and let out another amused chuckle."Blackmail me?" His gaze drifted toward t
••AURELIA’S POV••“Get me some soft drink as well,” I reminded her, Cecile nodded before opening the door.I turned around to sleep just then I heard a gasp."Oliver?" I heard Cecile say, and sat upright, then shot my eyes to the door.That was when Oliver walked into the room as Cecile backed away from him."Where were you last night?" He demanded through gritted teeth, anger flashing in his eyes.I let out a dry scoff."That's the first question you're going to ask me?" I shook my head in disbelief. "Not, 'Good morning, Aurelia.' Not, 'Why are you still in bed sweetheart?' Not even, 'How are you doing?'"I folded my arms across my chest."No. The first thing out of your mouth is, 'Where were you last night?'" A cold smile tugged at my lips. "Why? Because you think you own me? What makes you question me like this, Oliver?"Oliver's jaw tightene
••AURELIA’S POV••"Where were you?" I heard someone say as I opened my eyes, wincing at the sharp light blaring from the middle of the room."Oh, for fuck’s sake, turn out the light. It’s too bright."Cecil stood over me, hands on her hips, that familiar amused look on her face. I was still completely naked, the sheet barely covering my hips, my body still marked from last night."You were with Zayn, weren’t you?""For fuck’s sake, Cecil, the light!"She sighed and walked over to switch it off. The room went comfortably dim. She came back and sat on the edge of the bed without hesitation, like she always did."It’s dark in here. I can’t see," she argued, but she was already leaning closer."Yeah, well, neither could I when the lights were on," I muttered, trying to sit up slowly. My body ached in that deep, used way.Cecil’s eyes flicked over me, taking in the state I was in, her fingers casually traced over my bare chest, circling one nipple then the other.Well, I wasn't embarrassed
••AURELIA POV••“There’s a lot I need to tell you about this plan,” I said slowly, nervously twisting my fingers together. “But before I do, I need you to promise me something.”Cecil frowned slightly. “What?”“That you’re not going to panic.”“I swear I’m not going to panic,” she assured me with o
••AURELIA'S POV••“I like your sarcasm, Aurelia, I really do,” Zayn’s expression darkened slightly. “But this situation stopped being funny the second Oliver used your family to control you.”His eyes didn't leave mine even for a second. “This isn’t some toxic little relationship anymore. Your enti
••AURELIA’S POV••“Smile,” Oliver leaned closer to me as we walked through the hallway, his fingers tightening possessively around my waist as he muttered against my ear. “People are watching us.”I forced my lips upward into something that barely resembled a smile.“Congratulations,” a girl from a
••AURELIA’S POV••“Well this is wild,” he scoffed.My breath caught so sharply that it hurt.For a second, my heart completely stopped beating before it slammed violently against my ribs.No…. No fucking way.I stared at him in pure horror, my lips parting slightly as my entire body went rigid. Eve
