LOGINMason’s POVFor a few precious hours, everything had felt right.The ceremony. Aria’s smile. The way the pack bowed to her without hesitation. For once, the weight on my shoulders had eased, replaced by something dangerously close to peace.Then reality caught up once the door in my home office closed.“Chairman,” Alisher said, breaking the calm as he handed me a thick folder, “these are the results of the investigation on the accounts listed in the files you retrieved from the Harpers.”I took the documents and flipped through them slowly, line by line, name by name. Each page tightened the knot in my chest. When I reached the last one, I closed my eyes and exhaled heavily.Of course, the enemies had planned it very well...“What else do you have?” I asked, already bracing myself.Julian moved to the projector and switched it on. The lights dimmed as footage filled the wall of my home office. “These are the surveillance recordings we managed to recover,” he said. “They only confirm w
Aria’s POVThe entire day felt like a blessing I didn’t dare question. One moment of happiness flows seamlessly into the next. Laughter, warm embraces, and quiet vows of loyalty filled every corner of the garden.Mason hadn’t forgotten a single detail. He even invited my Alpha, Hugo Miller, and somehow managed to secure a temporary travel permit for my parents despite their house arrest.That alone felt like a miracle.“Congratulations, Aria!” Alpha Hugo said, pulling me into a tight hug. His voice was thick with emotion. “I’m so happy for you. I know I’ve said this before, but this time, I know it’s real.”I smiled against his shoulder. “Thank you, Alpha Hugo. I promise I’ll repay all the kindness you’ve shown my parents and me.”He released me and turned to Mason, extending his hand. “Thank you for trusting me, Chairman. I will honor this alliance for as long as I breathe.”Mason clasped his hand firmly. “And thank you as well,” he replied coolly. “I trust you’ll take good care of m
Mason’s POVThe moment I stepped into the backyard, the low murmur of voices died down.Every pair of eyes turned to me.Men and women who had fought beside me. Leaders of factions. Elders. Betas and commanders who knew the weight of secrets and the cost of loyalty. The Silver Moon Pack’s most trusted allies stood before me, surrounded by white drapes, flowers, and an altar that transformed my private garden into something sacred.I felt something unfamiliar tighten my chest.Anticipation.I stopped at the center of the altar, hands clasped behind my back, my gaze sweeping over them slo
Aria’s POV“Luna… Luna…”The soft call pulled me from sleep, and for a heartbeat, I thought I was still dreaming. Then last night came rushing back, warm arms, a steady heartbeat, a bond that finally felt whole. And... A diamond ring on my finger. A smile curved on my lips even before I opened my eyes.“Luna, are you awake?”I stretched lazily beneath the covers. “Yes,” I murmured, my voice still thick with sleep.I was still reminiscing in my mind the moment I said yes to Mason. Both of us were smiling like donkeys and giddy like teenagers as he put the ring on my finger.My hand reached instinctively to Mason’s side of the bed. Empty... just as I expected. He must have left early. Knowing him, this was planned. He must have told the maid to wake me up. I pushed myself upright, still smiling… until my breath caught.The room was full.At least five maids stood quietly around the master bedroom, and behind them were strangers carrying garment bags, polished cases, boxes tied with ribb
Aria’s POV“Mason—please—” I gasped, though I didn’t know if I was begging him to stop or begging him to do it.His voice rumbled low against my ear, filled with primal dominance. “No more running. No more doubt. Tonight, I claim you. Tonight, I make you mine forever.”And then he bit me.His fangs sank deep into the curve of my neck, tearing through skin, and I screamed—screamed from the sharp agony that jolted through me, screamed from the raw surge of ecstasy that followed immediately after.My body arched violently in his arms, my walls clamping down around his cock like a vice as blood and ple
Aria’s POVI was trembling when his body finally collapsed against mine, his weight pressing me into the mattress, his cock still buried deep inside me, pulsing with the last of his release.My lungs burned, my chest heaved, and my thighs quivered around his waist. I felt like I’d been consumed and reborn all at once—every inch of me claimed, pounded, and stretched by Mason’s relentless passion.His hand cupped my cheek, his lips brushing tenderly against the corner of my mouth. The contrast made me shiver—he was all wild fire a moment ago, and now he was soft, protective, the Mason only I seemed to touch.“You’re shaking,” he whispered, his breath ragged, his vo
