เข้าสู่ระบบAria’s POVKael continued to visit the children occasionally.He would arrive at the mansion, greet me politely, and ask how I was feeling before turning his attention to the boys.Sometimes, he took Kian and Kieran out for the afternoon. Other times, he stayed for a meal or spent an hour playing with the triplets.He was trying to be present in their lives, and I had no intention of preventing him from doing so.Whatever had happened between us, he was still their father.The children deserved to have a relationship with him, and I wanted them to grow up knowing they were loved by both their parents.But the relationship between Kael and me had changed beyond recognition.Our conversations were brief and practical."How are you feeling?""I'm fine. Thank you.""How are the babies?""They're doing well.""Good."And that was usually the end of it.We discussed the children's schedules, their medical appointments, and the arrangements for his visits. Occasionally, we exchanged a few wo
Aria’s POVTime had a way of healing wounds I once thought would never stop bleeding.It didn't happen overnight. There were no magical moments when I woke up and suddenly forgot everything Kael had put me through. Healing came in small, almost unnoticeable ways. It came through the laughter of my children, the warmth of my mother's embrace, and the quiet presence of a man who never made me feel like I had to earn his love.And somewhere along the way, without even realizing when it began, I fell in love with Lucian.Not the kind of love that left me constantly questioning my worth. Not the kind that made me afraid of saying the wrong thing or asking for too much. It was a gentle love that grew with every passing day, until I found myself looking forward to seeing him, smiling whenever his name appeared on my phone, and missing him whenever his duties as the Alpha of Nightshade kept him away for too long.At first, I tried to convince myself that I was simply grateful to him. After a
Aria’s POVThe words hung between us.For the first time since I had awakened, I saw Lucian struggle to hide his emotions."I don't want to keep looking backward when someone as wonderful as you is standing in front of me. I want to give myself a chance to be happy again. I want to learn how to trust you, how to let you in, and how to love you without being afraid that one day you'll stop loving me."I drew in a shaky breath."That's why I wanted to break the bond. I wanted to close that chapter of my life so I could finally learn how to open another one with you."Lucian looked away briefly. When he turned back to me, his eyes were filled with an emotion I couldn't quite name."Aria, do you think you have to rush yourself into loving me because I've waited for you?""No," I answered quickly. "That's not what I meant.""Then why are you putting that kind of pressure on yourself?"I opened my mouth, but no answer came. He gently tucked the blanket around me."I love you, Aria. And you
Aria’s POVThe first thing I heard when I opened my eyes was the steady beeping sound beside me.I blinked several times, trying to adjust to the brightness of the room. My head felt heavy, and my entire body seemed to be weighed down by something I couldn't explain.For a few seconds, I simply stared at the white ceiling, struggling to understand where I was.Then I turned my head.Lucian was sitting beside my bed, his head lowered and his fingers intertwined. He looked exhausted, with dark circles beneath his eyes and his usually neat hair slightly disheveled."Lucian?"His head snapped up.The moment our eyes met, he rose so quickly that the chair scraped against the floor."Aria?" He leaned over me, his expression changing from disbelief to overwhelming relief. "You're awake."I tried to smile, but even that small movement felt exhausting."What happened?" I whispered.Lucian pulled his chair closer and gently took my hand."How are you feeling?"I considered his question for a mo
Aria’s POVSophia returned a few minutes later, her hands trembling after signing the necessary documents.“They're taking her in,” she whispered.We all turned toward the doors as Aria was wheeled past us on a hospital bed.Her eyes remained closed. An oxygen mask covered her nose and mouth, and several tubes and monitors surrounded her. Her hand lay limp against the sheet.I stepped forward instinctively.“Aria.”It was barely a whisper, but I hoped she could hear me.The medical team wheeled her into the operating room, and the doors closed behind them.I stared at them long after they had shut. Then I lowered my head and pressed my palms against my eyes.“Please,” I whispered into the silence. “Don't take them from me.”The waiting was torture.Minutes turned into hours, yet none of us moved far from the operating room.Sophia prayed under her breath, sometimes silently, sometimes through tears. Silas paced the corridor, stopping every few minutes to check the time on his phone. K
Lucian’s POVI had never been so terrified in my life. Maybe I had been when she was stabbed months ago in the courtroom One moment, Aria was standing before Kael before we entered the mansion. The next, she was in his arms, clutching her stomach and gasping for breath.“Aria!” I rushed forward, dropping to my knees beside her. “Sweetheart, open your eyes. Please, look at me.”She didn't respond.Her eyes had fluttered shut, and her face had lost so much color that she looked almost lifeless. I reached for her hand, squeezing it between mine as if that alone could keep her with me.“Someone call a doctor!” Silas shouted.“Get the ambulance here now!” I barked, my voice ringing through the air.Kael held Aria against his chest, his hands trembling as he brushed the hair away from her face.“Aria, please,” he whispered desperately. “You can't do this to Please, open your eyes.”I wanted to pull her away from him. I wanted to be the one holding her, the one she reached for when she was
Aria’s POV.I staggered down the stairs, my face pale like someone who life was slowly being drained out of. If I hadn’t heard everything myself... if someone had told me, I wouldn’t have believed Kael could do such a cruel thing.“Luna...” Silas, who was standing at the end of the stairs, called,
Aria's POVThe moment my eyes landed on her, my heart shattered into a million pieces. My knees buckled, but I grabbed the wall for support before I could collapse. It was truly her. Vivienne—the only woman Alpha Kael craved for. When did he find her? I knew he was desperately searching every
Aria’s POV. “Congratulations, Luna Aria. You’re finally going to be a mother!” The doctor’s words hit me like a thunderclap. “What?” the word escaped my lips before I could stop it. “The heir to the Silverfang Pack is growing in your womb. You’re two weeks gone, Aria,” Lea, the pack doctor,
Kael’s POV “Shit!” I yelled, punching the table. “Alpha, please be calm,” Silas advised, watching as I paced the room. I ran my hand through my hair in rage, anger dominating every vessel in my body. “Did you see that, Silas? She not only disrespected me, but she also walked out on me!” I bl
