The meeting concluded without further opposition, sealing Aria’s position as the acting CEO. Her confidence and clear outline of her vision left the shareholders with little ground to question her authority. The weight of the role had fallen upon her shoulders, but she carried it with grace and fire, just as Mason knew she would.

While Mason and Julian had departed earlier for an urgent Federation matter, Jacob and Cecil chose to remain at Aria’s side. They lingered in the polished corridors of Harper Group Holdings, ensuring she wasn’t left alone amidst lurking dangers while other shareholders approached Aria to congratulate her.

Moments later, Jacob’s phone vibrated insistently. He glanced at the caller ID, his brows furrowing, and excused himself with a nod before striding away to answer.

The timing couldn’t have been worse. Elliot, who had been watching like a predator from the shadows of the hall, seized the opportunity. His steps were heavy, his aura sharp and suffocating as he c

    Aria’s POVI was already fraying, already hanging by a single thread of restraint, when Mason suddenly stopped.The loss of movement was almost cruel. My body tensed instinctively, breath stuttering as I looked at him, confusion flickering through the haze of pleasure—but before I could form a single thought, his mouth was on mine again.He kissed me like the world was ending.Not slow. Not gentle. It was urgent, consuming, as if there would be no tomorrow, and he intended to burn this moment into my bones. His hand cradled the back of my head, his lips moving against mine with a hunger that made my knees weak even while I was already laid bare beneath him.

    Aria’s POVMason reached for the intercom on his desk, his expression already darkening with intent as if he had made a decision he had no plans of undoing.“Cancel everything on my schedule this afternoon,” he said calmly, professionally—far too calmly for a man whose tie I was already loosening with my fingers. “I’ll be briefing our new Luna on her responsibilities within the Federation and the Pack.”“Understood, Chairman,” his secretary replied without hesitation before the line went dead.I laughed softly, the sound light and playful, as I slipped his tie free and let it fall onto the desk. “Oh?” I asked in a deliberately innocent tone, my finger

    Aria’s POVAfter lunch and our little shopping spree at the mall, I dropped Hailey off at the Larkin Estate first. She waved enthusiastically as she stepped out of the car, already talking about ideas for her birthday and asking Nina, through the half-open window, what kind of cake she liked best. Nina answered shyly, clutching the small paper bag of school supplies on her lap, and Hailey laughed like a carefree girl her age. For a moment, I wished things were always this simple.I brought Nina and Maria back home next. Nina was already yawning, exhausted from all the excitement, and Maria gently coaxed her upstairs for a nap. I watched them disappear down the hallway before turning back toward the car, a different kind of energy settling over me.Instead of resting, I went

    Aria’s POV“Here,” Hailey said softly as she extended her hand toward me.Resting on her palm was a small fabric drawstring bag, pale rose pink with simple stitching along the edges. It looked unassuming, too ordinary for something that might carry the weight of suspicion, fear, and unanswered questions.“That’s the herbal tea Uncle Harlan kept gifting my father,” she continued. “I asked the maids. They said it was the only thing he ever gave him. There are four different tea bags inside, different flavors, but Uncle always said they all had the same benefit.”I took the bag from her carefully, as if it might shatter between my fingers. I loosened the string just enoug

    Aria’s POVMason sat across from me, already dressed in dark slacks and a crisp shirt, his jacket draped over the back of his chair. Nina was beside me, her small feet swinging slightly as she focused very seriously on her breakfast, while Maria hovered nearby, ever attentive but careful not to intrude. The smell of freshly brewed tea and warm bread filled the room, making me hungrier than I expected.For a moment, it almost felt like a peaceful family morning.Weston entered quietly, but I quickly noticed. “Alpha,” he said, inclining his head. “Miss Hailey Larkin has arrived.”Mason froze mid-motion, his gaze snapping up. “Hailey?”

    Aria’s POVIt had been a very long night.One that felt like it stretched far beyond the ticking of clocks and the clinking of glasses, one that sank deep into my bones and refused to let go.After the dinner, after the public unmasking of lies, after the arrests of Elliot, Harlan, and Frances, my body finally caught up with everything my mind had been holding back. The adrenaline that had kept me upright through the chaos drained all at once, leaving me hollowed out and trembling beneath the surface.So when the crowd began to swarm Mason, when voices overlapped, congratulations mixed with forced smiles, and curiosity sharpened into something dangerous, I quietly slipped away.
