Lahat ng Kabanata ng Possessed by His Mark: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Aira’s POVDays had passed since I first met Alexander. Yet, even now, I couldn't shake off the unease settling deep in my chest. My thoughts were heavy, tangled in the events of that fateful encounter, refusing to give me peace. No matter how hard I tried to push them away, they clung to me like a persistent shadow.I had attempted to calm myself, to pretend it was nothing, but the restlessness refused to subside. And so, instead of drowning in my own thoughts, I chose to keep myself busy. I wandered into the garden, letting the scent of fresh blossoms distract me as I waited for Ezekiel’s return.The estate was heavily guarded. Guards patrolled every corner, their presence a reminder that I was safe—or at least, I should be. A part of me clung to the hope that Alexander wouldn’t return, that I had pushed him far enough away. But at the same time, an unfamiliar emptiness gnawed at me. It was ridiculous, really. I should feel relieved that he hadn’t come back, that he had finally let

Aira’s POVFrom the moment I woke up, sleep had completely abandoned me. I tossed and turned for hours, but the heaviness in my chest and the restless thoughts swirling in my mind refused to let me drift off again. So, instead of forcing myself to sleep, I simply waited for the morning to arrive.As the first light of dawn peeked through the window, casting a soft glow into the dimly lit room, I finally pushed myself up from the bed. There was no point in lying there any longer. With a tired sigh, I straightened the blankets, fixed the pillows, and went about my usual morning routine.The mansion felt eerily quiet, almost suffocating in its stillness. It had been like this for days. Ezekiel was always away—where he went, I had no idea. He never told me, and I never asked. I wasn’t even sure if he would answer me if I did. The solitude was beginning to wear on me.I wanted to go out, to leave this place even for just a little while. I could ask one of the assistants to accompany me, b

Aira’s POVHe came back.He actually came back.I took a few steps back, my heart pounding in my chest as I stared at him from head to toe. It was broad daylight—too risky. If the guards saw him, it would be over. Panic surged through me, overriding the shock that had momentarily frozen me in place. Without thinking, I grabbed his wrist and yanked him away, pulling him toward a secluded corner where no prying eyes could reach us.Only when we were alone did I finally turn to face him. My breath came in quick, uneven bursts, and I had to blink a few times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.Alexander."What are you doing here?" My voice came out sharper than I intended, laced with worry. "You should be careful! What if the guards see you? You do know, Alexander, that I don't want trouble, right?"But instead of explaining, his first words took me completely by surprise."I'm sorry," he said, his voice softer than I remembered. "I'm sorry it took me this long to come back. A lot happen

Aira’s POVI turned my back on him, my hands trembling at my sides as my fury boiled over.I couldn’t stand to look at him any longer—I was seething with rage. But before I could take another step, Alexander grabbed my wrist again, his grip firm yet desperate.“Aira, please,” he pleaded, his voice raw with emotion.I yanked my arm away with a sharp jerk, “What do you want, Alexander? I need to rest. Do you want me to get sick? Do you want something to happen to our baby?” My voice was laced with irritation.At my words, he finally released me, his fingers loosening.“I’m sorry…”I clenched my jaw. Apologies. Always apologies. They meant nothing to me anymore.“I understand why you're angry,” he continued, his voice hoarse with regret. “I know I’ve done things that hurt you. But your anger towards me—it’s not right. It’s not fair.”A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I shook my head. My hands curled into fists, nails digging into my palms.“Your apologies are useless, Alexander,” I spat

Aira’s POV"What if I tell you that I am jealous?"His words made me freeze.I hadn't expected him to actually answer my question. I thought he would brush it off, change the subject, or at least pretend it didn't bother him. But here he was, admitting it so bluntly that I found myself at a loss for words.Silence stretched between us. I shifted my gaze away, staring at the horizon where the last remnants of daylight clung desperately to the sky. The cool evening breeze brushed against my skin, making me aware of just how long we had been sitting here, talking."It's getting late, Alexander," I finally said, my voice quieter than before. "I think we should stop talking here. I need to head back to the mansion before they start looking for me."I paused, considering something. "And aren't your people searching for you too? Who are you here with, aside from the warriors you mentioned?"He turned his eyes toward me, their hue darkening under the dimming light. "I'm with my Beta."My eyes
