Cecil’s POV
"I'm sorry, Cecil. Just bear with me. The pain will fade soon—just hold on," Jacob whispered, his voice rough with restraint.
I wanted to believe him. In fact, I did believe him. But at that moment, all I could trust was the sharp sting and the unbearable fullness stretching me beyond what I thought was possible.
He leaned in and kissed me, swallowing my shaky breaths, my soft cries. His hands roamed over every inch of me, soothing, coaxing, distracting—trying to ease the pain his massive length was causing.
“I swear I’m clinging to the last shred of control right now,” Jacob growled against my skin. “But fuck… I want to slam into you so badly.”
The next morning, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon drifted down the hall, but it was the sound of laughter bright and unguarded that reached Mason and Aria before they even stepped into the dining room.“Everyone sounds… happy,” Aria murmured, her fingers brushing Mason’s as they walked in together.The moment they entered, the table’s chatter momentarily quieted, then erupted again with teasing smiles and knowing looks. Mason guided her to her seat, his hand lingering at the small of her back.“Did you know Sam barely slept last night?” Cecil leaned in conspiratorially, her eyes alight. “She was up half the night because she’s already planning the wedding.”“Guilty,” Sam said with a smirk. “I wanted to finish the whole thing, but my eyes staged a rebellion.”Aria arched a brow, leaning forward. “So… what’s the plan?”Cecil’s fingers laced with Jacob’s under the table. “We’ve decided. Less than a month from now—on the next full moon. Just family, close friends… an
Aria’s POVHe was unhinged. Wild. And I was gasping for air, barely holding on.His tongue lashed at my clit with ruthless precision, striking again and again like he was chasing a deadline—like he needed to make me come or die trying.I tried to open my legs, desperate to give him more, to offer myself fully—but he held them clamped together, pinned between his thighs. My body trembled, aching, pleading.Then suddenly, he shifted.He lifted my legs without warning. For a split second, I thought he’d peel off the rest of my leggings, finally set me free.But no.
Aria’s POV“Oh, I see,” I heard Julian say as I wiped my mouth beneath the desk. Footsteps followed—faint and hesitant—probably him placing my phone on the couch near the door.“Thanks, bro,” Mason called out. “Lock the door on your way out. I’m just making one call. And throw the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign up, will you? Thanks. This is quite an important call.”There’s such a thing? In this house?Wait—he was done, wasn’t he?Then why did he sound like he was just getting started?A soft click echoed across the room as the door shut. That was the moment I knew—I was in trouble.Mason opened one of his desk drawers. The sound of something tearing caught my attention. I turned and saw it—packaging tape.Before I could react, he grabbed my wrists, his grip firm but precise. “Out. Now,” he ordered.Still dazed from what we’d done, I tried crawling out. But the second I emerged, he caught my arms and pressed them together.*Rip. Rip. Rip.*That's what I heard next.“What are you doing?” I aske
Aria’s POV"Which room should I use?" I asked Mason as soon as the call with Nina ended.His brow furrowed, gaze narrowing like I’d just spoken a foreign language. "What room are you talking about?""The one I’m sleeping in tonight?” I raised a brow, feigning innocence. “I checked the guest room I used before, but my things weren’t there. The maids were clueless and told me to ask you, Chairman Larkin," I added with a teasing smile, already guessing his answer.Mason leaned back in his leather chair, his broad shoulders sinking into the seat as he brought his hands together, fingers steepled like a man ready to strike. His eyes dragged down my body with a slow, scorching stare before rising to meet mine. A wicked smirk curved his lips."You’ll sleep in my room. Where else would you be sleeping, Aria?"My wolf stirred at his voice, at that possessive growl that wrapped every word. She wanted him—badly. So did I.I stepped between his spread legs and shoved his chair back just enough to
By the time they arrived at Mason’s estate, it was already way past dinnertime, and everyone was hungry.As their vehicle came to a stop, Attorney Alisher Marshal stood waiting at the front steps, flanked by his assistant, Leo Kensington, and several men in sleek black suits.The second Mason stepped out of the car, his aura shifted. Cold, calculated, and dominant, befitting an alpha like him.Aria joined him, holding the wooden box protectively in her arms.Mason took it from her and walked toward Alisher, his eyes gleaming with Alpha fire. “I’m entrusting you with these files,” he said, handing over the box. “You’re the expert. Don’t disappoint me.”The moment Alisher took the box, Mason added through the mind link, his voice sharp as a blade.'Just so you know, Aria is my fated mate, and soon, she will be the Luna of this pack. Make sure you don’t mess this up. Get my future in-laws out of that godforsaken jail. Fast.'Alisher glanced at Aria briefly, then smirked. “You know me, Al
Jacob gently laid Sam on the velvet sofa in the grand receiving hall, her body limp, her breathing shallow and uneven. Crimson streaks marred her arms and shoulders—glass shards embedded deep beneath the skin. Blood smeared across the upholstery, but no one dared comment.“Get me water, towels—now!” Cecil snapped at the guards, her voice sharp and commanding. “Tweezers, hemostats, anything you can find to pull the glass out!”The guards hesitated, exchanging uncertain looks. She wasn’t their superior. They didn’t move.Then Jacob’s voice thundered across the room. “Move! Or I’ll make sure the Chairman hears about your incompetence firsthand!”Fear shot down their spines like ice. They scrambled out of the room to follow Cecil’s orders without another word.Once they were gone, Sam cracked one eye open, her breathing already stabilizing. Jacob gave a subtle nod. Their plan was working.Cecil turned to the last remaining guard, who was awkwardly lingering in the corner.“I need to get t
