Griffin’s POV I returned to my clinic’s room inside Aaron’s castle after visiting Olive’s room. It was only when I was finally alone that I allowed my true emotions to surface. The murderous aura that had been simmering beneath the surface of my composed exterior was now on full display. Olive had confided in me, revealing that she was not the one responsible for Vera’s death. Instead, she had taken the blame upon herself in order to protect her foolish boyfriend and the Star Moon Pack. The injustice of it all made my blood boil with anger. My hands trembled uncontrollably, and the veins on my neck pulsed with the intensity of my fury. All I could think about was seeking revenge against Vincent and the Star Moon Pack. How could he ask Olive to take the blame for something she didn't do? If he truly loved her, he would never have put her in such a position. My claws sharpened as I muttered these thoughts to myself, my eyes glowing fiercely in the darkness of the night. A doctor l

Olive’s POV My memories of my parents were non-existent as if they had never existed at all. All I knew was that they had been involved in a tragic car accident, a fact that my grandmother had shared with me. The news had left a deep impression on me, and I had made a solemn vow to never get behind the wheel of a car. However, it seemed that fate had other plans for me. My luck with the car was abysmal, as evidenced by the first time I had gone for a drive with Vincent. The outing ended in disaster, with Vincent accidentally killing Vera in a terrible accident. Given my track record, it was no surprise that I felt incredibly nervous when my Abuela asked me to operate the lawn tractor. I had no experience driving anything, let alone a machine as complex as this. The thought of being in control of such a powerful piece of equipment was daunting, to say the least. “You’re wasting too much time, 0315! Start your work now!” Abuela's voice pierced through the peaceful morning air, jolt

Aaron’s POVHow the bloody hell am I supposed to keep my cool when Doctor Griffin is about to lay eyes on my mate's naked body?Yeah, I get it. It's his job, but the thought of him ogling her body makes me want to smash his face in! It's obvious he's got an interest in her!As much as I'd love to rip him limb from limb, I know I can't. I need him to patch her up, and for that, I need to keep my temper in check while I pace outside the door, waiting for any news.I try to distract myself, to push the anger aside, but my brother's words keep echoing in my head, driving me mad. ‘My captive can’t drive a lawn tractor. If she can’t drive it, she might be innocent of killing Vera.’ I let out a deep sigh and ran my fingers through my hair, pushing it upwards in frustration.“Aaron.”The sound of my name being called interrupted my thoughts, and I turned to see the familiar face of Vera's grandmother, Abuela. Despite not being related by blood, I held her in high regard, as she had been the

Aaron’s POVMy heart was heavy.I was in distress since I vowed to Abuela that I would never fall in love with my mate. That’s why even if I heard that Dr. Griffin healed my mate, I couldn’t bring myself to check her.‘Because if I see her face, I feel like I might betray Abuela.’ Knock. Knock.A soft knock echoed through the walls of my office, drawing my attention to the door. I shifted my gaze towards it.“It’s me, Beta Jasfer.”“Come in.”Beta Jasfer came in and gave me his report, “Greeting. I came here to inform you about the upcoming coronation ceremony in the Star Moon Pack.”When I heard the name of the Pack, my face contorted."Although I know you don't want to witness their Alpha heir ascend to the Alpha position, you must come, Lycan Aaron," Beta Jasfer reminded me.I let out a frustrated sigh, my grip on the pen tightening until it snapped in my hand. "I can't believe I have to attend the coronation of my prisoner's boyfriend," I grumbled.Jasfer noticed the broken pen a

Aaron’s POVThe day of Vincent's Alpha coronation ceremony had finally arrived.I sat in the back seat of my car, unable to shake the memory of my mate's crestfallen expression when I forbade her from accompanying me to the event. Despite her disappointment, I knew it was for the best."She would only suffer more once she learned of her boyfriend’s betrayal," I muttered to myself, though the words held little conviction. If I truly despised my captive, I would have taken more drastic measures to ruin her life.“Haa.”With a heavy sigh, I ran my fingers through my perfectly groomed hair. “My captive should be grateful for my mercy.”Soon enough, I arrived at the Star Moon Pack, where the ceremony would be held in a grand hall. It was impressive but paled in comparison to the grandeur of my own castle.“Not bad,” I dropped a mockery compliment as I walked inside the hall.As I strode into the hall, every gaze fixated upon me.The countenances of the werewolves betrayed their fear, a cle
