ARIA'S POV My heart was racing as I stood still. I gripped Kieran’s sleeve so tightly that my fingers hurt, trying to come up with the right answer to Alpha Mason's question.“I…I guess…it is,” I stuttered, feeling overwhelmed with fear.“Well, then,” Alpha Mason said, his voice calm. “Why don't we put an end to this nonsense, huh?” His eyes glinted with smug satisfaction as he spoke. “Come on, Princess. Don’t struggle needlessly. I'll take you just as you wish, so let’s go.” Mason’s words sent a shiver down my spine. I knew I had told him to take me, but I just thought that maybe he would call my bluff. Just maybe.I was terrified. Very terrified.He spoke as if he had already won, as if there was no point in resisting him. My mind screamed at me to fight, to say something, but the words caught in my throat.I glanced at Kieran, my heart pounding. His jaw was tight, his body coiled like a spring ready to snap. I could feel the barely contained anger simmering just beneath the surf

ARIA'S POV The sudden voice echoed through the hall, silencing the witches and stopping their chanting in the middle of a verse.My breath caught in my throat as I slowly turned to see who had interrupted.Standing there, tall and commanding, was Adam. His piercing eyes scanned the room, and his presence was like a beacon of hope in the midst of my despair. Behind him stood Finn and a dozen elite soldiers, their expressions hard and ready for a fight.In that moment, my legs moved before I could think. I managed to break free from Mason’s grip, my heart racing as I ran towards Adam. “Adam!” I cried, my voice cracking. “You’re here!”Adam caught me, his strong arms wrapping around me protectively. “Aria,” he said softly, his voice filled with concern. He pulled back slightly to look at me, his eyes scanning my face as if checking for injuries. “Are you okay? Did he hurt you?”I shook my head quickly, tears brimming in my eyes. “No, I’m fine. I’m just so glad you’re here. I thought…”

ARIA'S POV The tension in the hallway was heavy as Adam reluctantly agreed to help. His expression was a mix of frustration and worry as he crossed his arms and stared at me.“Fine,” he said, his voice firm. “But let me make one thing clear—any sign of trouble, and I’m dragging you out of here. I don’t care what promises you’ve made.”I nodded quickly, relief washing over me. “Thank you, Adam,” I said softly.His jaw tightened, and he looked away, muttering, “Don’t thank me yet.”He turned to the guard, his posture strong and commanding. “Take us to this supporter of yours,” he ordered.The guard nodded, relief evident on his face. “Thank you, Alpha Adam. Please follow me.”The guard led us down a series of dark, twisting corridors. The torches on the walls created flickering shadows, making the path feel eerie and endless. Finn stayed close behind me, his eyes constantly scanning our surroundings. Adam walked beside me, his hand hovering near my arm as if ready to pull me back at a

ARIA'S POV The room was cold, the silence thick like a fog. I stood behind Finn, my heart thundering in my chest.Alpha Mason stood up, his eyes burning with rage as he shouted at Kieran. "You! How dare you come into my palace and challenge me? In my own territory? Have you lost your damn mind?”Kieran scoffed. “Your territory? Really?”“I should have killed you earlier,” Mason growled, his eyes filled with anger.“In case you have forgotten, I'll remind you that this,” Kieran gestured around them, “is my territory. You stole my place, you jerk!”“Jerk, huh?” Mason chuckled wickedly. “You will regret this, Kieran. I'll make sure you suffer a slow and painful death."I had never seen Kieran like this before—his face sharp with determination, his voice steady. "Your time is over, Mason. You’ve ruled with cruelty for too long. It ends today. Right now."Before anyone could move, Kieran charged forward, his weapon—a gleaming silver blade—raised high. He slammed into Alpha Mason with all

ARIA'S POV The gentle hum of the plane engines was a soft background noise, and the dim cabin lights made it easy to drift into sleep.I leaned back against my seat, exhaustion weighing heavily on me. Everything from the past few days replayed in my mind—Kieran’s fierce battle, the feast, his final words as we parted.I wasn’t sure when I finally closed my eyes, but when I woke up, Adam was gently shaking my shoulder.“Aria, wake up. We are home,” he said softly.I blinked, trying to shake off the sleepiness. The sight outside the window confirmed his words: the familiar tarmac of home greeted me, and standing there were my parents and Ryan.The moment I stepped off the plane, my mother rushed forward and pulled me into a tight embrace. Her arms were warm and trembling slightly as she held me close.“You’re safe,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “You’re finally home.”Tears welled up in my eyes as I hugged her back. “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you. I prom
