Hidden Care

Author: Stella YX
(Aria's POV)

My eyes fluttered open, and the unfamiliar softness of the bed beneath me brought the sharp memory of last night back in heavy fragments. Derek’s hands holding me, his low voice cutting through my haze, the weight of his presence filling every corner of the car. And then this—the cold, quiet room in his private villa.

I turned my head slightly, the motion slow and careful to avoid pulling at the wounds on my back. The silver burns had dulled from their earlier fiery agony, but the faint sting lingered like a cruel reminder of how small I had become in the face of these alpha-dominated battles.

A soft knock at the door startled me from my thoughts. Before I could process, the door opened, and Dr. Marcus Reed entered, carrying a small black case. His sharp features softened just slightly when his gaze landed on me.

"Good morning, Miss Aria," he said gently, setting the case down on a nearby table.

I gave him a faint nod, my lips parting to return the pleasantry, but my

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Shattered Bonds

    (Aria's POV)The faint hum of the healing equipment filled the stillness of my room. My body ached with a dull, persistent throb, but it barely registered amid the storm of my thoughts.I hadn't meant to eavesdrop. Truly, I hadn't. But when voices drifted through the partially open door, the familiar tones of Derek and Dr. Marcus Reed, I found myself frozen."...she merely satisfies my wolf’s physical needs," Derek's cold voice sliced through the air, the words biting deeper than any wound Lucas had inflicted.I gripped the edge of my blanket tightly, my knuckles blanching as his words replayed in my mind. Satisfying his needs. That’s all I’d ever been to him. No matter the moments when his gentleness slipped through, no matter the small glimmers of care I desperately latched onto, the truth had always hovered just out of reach.Hearing it out loud left no room for doubt.My chest tightened painfully. I wanted to cry, scream, perhaps even laugh at my own foolishness. But tears wo

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Unexpected Care

    (Aria's POV)When Derek carried me inside the villa, I sank further into his grasp, trying not to protest. The cold air outside gave way to an unnatural warmth in the brightly lit room. Everything inside the villa was pristine. Clean. Organized. Empty of life.He didn’t say much. His grip stayed firm yet careful, as if holding a fragile doll. I wanted to object, to remind him I wasn’t completely helpless. “I can—”“No,” he cut me off sharply, his tone brooking no argument.I quieted but couldn’t stop myself from glancing around. I’d never been here before. The size of the room itself left me stunned—the bed seemed to stretch endlessly, far too soft for someone like me to belong on.Without a word, he crossed the room and gently placed me down on the bed. The plush mattress cradled me instantly, but my body remained tense. This was his private space, his private sanctuary, and I didn’t understand why he’d brought me here. He’d never brought me anywhere like this before."You'll st

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Alpha's Care

    (Aria's POV)Derek's cold gaze pierced through me like shards of ice, silencing any lingering resistance I might have held. His expression was unreadable, but his voice, like a heavy frost, cut through the stillness."Stop refusing treatment," he commanded curtly, his tone leaving no room for debate. Before I could muster even a weak protest, he reached for the blanket folded at the edge of the bed.His hands moved deliberately as he pulled it over me, tucking it around my trembling frame. The action, though devoid of tenderness, carried an air of finality. My chest tightened, unsure whether to view it as dominance or care.Derek picked up my medical report from the nearby table, scanning the contents with an air of detached professionalism. His long eyelashes lowered slightly, concealing his ice-blue eyes, but I noticed something faint and fleeting in his brow—an unease that almost seemed misplaced on someone like him.His alpha presence permeated the room, heavy and controlled.

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Silent Care

    (Aria's POV)The light was dim, soft but enough to sting. My eyelids fluttered open slowly, every movement feeling like an unspoken battle. The sharp, sterile scent of disinfectant filled my nose, clawing at my senses. I instantly knew where I was—the Silverstone Pack medical center.My body ached, not in the dull way of daily discomfort I’d grown used to but sharp, unbearable aches that left me feeling hollow. The fire of silver burns across my back flared with every shallow breath, and my chest felt constricted, suffocated.I shifted slightly, and the sharp pain intensified. Instinctively, I groaned under my breath, trying to stay as still as possible.Memories of what had led me here flickered in my mind like scattered pieces of a broken mirror. Lucas. The chains. Alexander. Derek.Derek.The thought forced my eyes to drift to the side, scanning the room. And there he was.Derek sat beside my bed. His tall figure cast a shadow over the neat expanse of the sterile room. He was

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Medical Truths

    (Aria's POV)The antiseptic smell of the pack medical center stung my nose. The sharp tang was pervasive, a reminder of how far I had fallen in one night.I lay motionless on the examination table, every inch of my body throbbing in pain. The silver burns from Lucas's chains crackled with residual agony, the wounds on my back aching with every shallow breath.My vision blurred slightly as fatigue from everything that had happened consumed me. I wasn’t sure what weighed heavier—my body’s exhaustion or the emotional toll of being tossed between Alexander’s protection and Derek’s icy dominance.Derek‘s ice-blue eyes swept over me, their frigid intensity instantly filling the air like an arctic storm. His usual aura, cold and detached, felt sharper now, though carefully controlled. I shivered involuntarily, my omega wolf stirring weakly but unable to meet his overwhelming presence.For a moment, he stood frozen, his gaze locked onto mine. His expression was unreadable, but his sharp f

    (Aria's POV)The ride in Derek's Bugatti felt unbearable, the air inside heavy with silence. Each breath I took clawed at my lungs, the sharp pain from the silver poisoning radiating through my chest. My heart was weaker now, hammering against my ribcage as though each beat could be its last.I slumped in the passenger seat, my hands gripping the edge of the leather seat for support. "Derek," I whispered, my voice feeble, almost swallowed by the rumble of the car engine. "You need to go back. There's no need for this."He didn't answer. His ice-blue eyes remained fixed on the road ahead, his jaw clenched as tightly as the steering wheel in his hands. The muscle in his jaw twitched, but other than that, he gave no indication he'd heard me.I tried again, summoning what little strength I had left. "Your marking ceremony..." My voice broke, the words trailing off into silence. Talking felt like dragging stones. "Natalie... they're waiting for you."This time, his hand tightened on th

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Silver's Bite

    (Aria's POV)The well-lit marble lobby of the Night Moon Hotel felt like a battlefield. I felt the weight of Derek's ice-blue gaze locking onto me, unrelenting and piercing straight through my fragile facade. My heart thudded painfully in my chest, each beat more irregular than the last, and the residual pain from Lucas's earlier assault clung to me like heavy chains.I squeezed the edges of Alexander’s jacket tighter around myself, as if it could shield me from the crushing presence of my true mate. Derek’s aura, always controlled and icy, now burned like a suffocating silver collar strapped around my throat.“Derek…” I whispered faintly. My voice wavered, trembling as I stumbled backward, my feet unsteady.He said nothing. His gaze was unyielding, his expression carved from stone. But his presence pressed harder, relentless in its sharpness.My knees buckled under the invisible weight of his alpha authority. I collapsed onto the cold marble floor, my breath catching short as my

  • The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back   Alpha's Claim

    (Aria's POV)The lobby was quiet except for my faint breathing and Alexander’s steady hold. His hands were firm yet careful as they supported me, but all I could feel was the tension radiating from him."Let's go," I whispered softly, trying to muster strength through the chaos in my heart. My words barely reached him, but he nodded, his golden eyes filled with something I couldn’t quite understand. He shifted me slightly, his arm protectively tightening as he prepared to walk past Derek.The weight of Derek’s icy gaze froze my omega wolf in place. His ice-blue eyes, cold and unyielding, locked onto me like a predator that had spotted its prey. My wolf whimpered deep within me, instinctively lowering herself in submission.I couldn't meet his eyes. I bowed my head, clenching the jacket Alexander had draped around me as if it could shield me from Derek’s overwhelming alpha presence. But the silence shattered as Derek closed the distance in a single, calculated step. Without warning,
