MasukSelene's 20th birthday should have been a celebration. Instead, she discovers her boyfriend’s evil betrayal, falls prey to her stepsister’s twisted schemes…and wakes up beside a dangerously cold stranger with eyes like ice. Prince Lucian of the Lycan Kingdom is used to losing everything: his throne, his fated mate, the only woman he ever trusted. But when he meets Selene—an outcast with no wolf and no scent—he mistakes her unique perfume for his betrothed’s and claims her in a night of passion he can’t forget. Now Selene is pregnant with Lucian’s heir, sold off by her own family to hide her shame, and rescued only by the man she barely knows. Thrust into the glittering, ruthless world of royal politics, Selene must find her strength, uncover her secret bloodline…and prove that true power comes from the heart.

She met Kael and finally understood why Piper had chosen to stay with him. She helped Noel navigate the impossible task of loving someone he'd inadvertently harmed.Slowly, carefully, they began the work of healing.Noel stepped back from the criminal enterprise, transferring control to trusted lieutenants. He focused on the legitimate business side of the Black empire, transforming Reed Corporation into something better than it had ever been.And Aria—Aria finally got her mother's shares. Not through Noel's manipulation, but through her own merit. She worked with Noel to rebuild the company, making it profitable and ethical. She brought in people like Jeremy, people who'd been overlooked before.Franklin and Brittany were quietly cut off from any family support. Paige, humiliated and broke, eventually moved overseas. The Reed
Chapter 174 -The Final ChoiceThe wedding planner's office was all white marble and minimalist elegance, exactly the kind of place that made Aria feel like an imposter. She sat across from Miranda Chen, the most sought-after wedding coordinator in the city, while the woman scrolled through design concepts on her tablet."Your fiancé was very specific about the details," Miranda said, her tone carefully neutral. "He wants everything understated but elegant. No ostentation."Aria nodded, though her mind was elsewhere. Jack had driven her straight from the Reed mansion to this appointment, and she still hadn't processed what had happened. The man in the bed. The photographs. Noel's strange indifference on the phone."Mrs. Black—sorry, soon-to-be Mrs. Black—are you listening?"Aria forced herself to focus. "Yes. Understated. That sounds like him."Her phone buzzed. A text from an unknown number: Check Twitter.She opened the app with trembling fingers and felt her stomach drop.The photos
Chapter 173 – The Double CrossAria stopped at the mansion entrance, her hand on the door frame. She turned back to face them—Paige bruised and smug, Brittany cruel and triumphant. She smiled, and it was sharp enough to draw blood."It must kill you that Noel's still going through with the wedding," she said, her voice dripping with contempt. "That he didn't believe your little setup. You have no idea what we actually share."It was a calculated move. She didn't know if Noel believed the pictures or not. But the fact that he wasn't calling things off was enough. It meant she still had time to figure out what had happened. It meant her enemies hadn't won yet.She pushed toward the exit, but Franklin blocked her path."Aria Reed, you've brought shame to this family," he said coldly. "I won't walk you down the aisle."For a moment, Aria's expression crumpled—just for a moment. Long enough for Paige and Brittany to believe they'd finally won something.Then she laughed. Actually laughed.
Chapter 172 – CaughtAria's scream tore through the room—raw and instinctive.The man in the bed laughed. Actually laughed. It was an irritating sound that made her heart race and her anger spike into something dangerous."Who the hell are you? Get away from me!" She scrambled backward, her mind reeling. She'd slept on the couch. That was real. She remembered the uncomfortable cushions, the throw blanket. But now she was on the bed, and this man was here, and nothing made sense.Had last night been a dream? But if it was, how did she end up here?This wasn't even the same room. It looked different—smaller, less expensive. And Noel was gone."You paid me to be here," the man said calmly, as if that was a perfectly reasonable explanation.Aria froze. She had money now, yes, thanks to Noel. But she would never—she didn't even remember the last time she'd felt attracted to anyone enough to—"No. Absolutely not," she said, rushing out of bed. Relief flooded through her when she saw her clo
Chapter 169 – Complications"I'll pay you," Noel said simply. "Every time we kiss in public, I'll compensate you for it."The words landed like a slap. Aria felt something inside her recoil—not from the money itself, but from what it implied. That he thought she needed payment. That he thought she

Chapter 166 – The Price of DisrespectAria's voice was quiet when she spoke, which somehow made it worse."I wonder what gives you the right to talk down to people when you're barely above the janitor on the ladder here?" She tilted her head slightly, watching Daphne's face drain of color. Jack, st
