Semua Bab The Alpha King Begged His Omega to Come Back: Bab 71 - Bab 80

**(Aria's POV)**The air in Natalie’s office was stifling. I didn’t know if it was her overwhelming alpha presence or my pounding heart making it harder to breathe. My hands trembled lightly at my sides, but I kept them still, gripping the fabric of my coat so she wouldn’t notice. Weakness wasn't something I could afford to show."I’m resigning," I said, steadying my voice as much as I could. The words left my mouth louder than I expected, solid and sure. "Effective immediately."Natalie, sitting in her polished leather chair, looked up with a subtle shift in her expression. For anyone else, her smile might have seemed gracious. But to me, it was sharp-edged and cold, curling in a way that made my stomach twist.She cocked her head slightly, her silver hair falling perfectly to frame her delicate, aristocratic features. "Oh?" she said, the exaggerated surprise in her tone grating against my skin. "And what brought on such a... bold decision?"My shoulders stiffened under her gaze.

**(Aria's POV)**The air felt sharp and charged. Silence hung heavy in the treatment center. Every stare was fixed on me and Rachel. The shattered remains of a porcelain cup gleamed on the floor, the spilled tea staining the tiles like a visible mark of my breaking point.I was drained, yet the fire in me refused to die down. I took small, measured breaths, my heart pounding painfully in my chest.“Emma,” I said, my gaze shifting toward her. My voice was steady but cold, each word deliberate. “While you’re busy laughing, maybe you should think about who you surround yourself with.”Emma blinked, thrown off by the sudden shift of my focus. “What?” she said, caught off guard, her smile faltering for the first time.I held her gaze, not letting her recover. “You should already know that Rachel doesn’t keep secrets,” I said. “Surely, you didn’t believe she wouldn’t talk about you behind your back.”Emma’s expression darkened, her unease spilling over into her hushed tone. “What are y

**(Aria's POV)**The air in the Black Wood Pack's headquarters felt heavy as I stepped inside. The neutral territory building was cold and calculated. Every surface gleamed with sharp edges or glass-like precision. It screamed power and diplomacy, far removed from the warmth I once associated with wolves.My heartbeat fluttered unevenly in my chest. Ignoring the faint tremor in my hands, I smoothed my coat and approached the receptionist’s desk. She barely spared me a glance, her attention focused on a tablet in her meticulously groomed hands. Her aura was beta, but her posture radiated the superiority common in wolves aligned with powerful alphas.“I’m here to see Alexander Blackwood,” I said, my voice low but steady.The beta’s sharp eyes finally flicked to me, sweeping over my silver hair and faded uniform. Her lips quirked, not quite a sneer but close enough to set my wolf on edge. Still, she spoke with practiced coolness.“Your name?”“Aria Moonlight,” I replied.At the men

**(Aria's POV)**The room was silent as I stood in front of Alexander, his piercing golden gaze scanning me. The boutique lights reflected off the midnight blue gown I was now wearing, their golden glow amplifying every detail of his expression. He wasn’t reacting, not saying a single word. That made it worse.I shifted uncomfortably under his scrutiny, smoothing my hands over the fine material of the dress. "Is... Is this okay?" My own voice sounded weak to my ears.Alexander tilted his head. His face remained neutral, unreadable, yet his eyes moved slowly from my feet to my face, lingering for a pause longer than necessary. It wasn’t admiration, not exactly. "It will do," he finally responded, his voice low and indifferent.Those three words stung. "It will do"? That wasn’t what I wanted to hear. If anything, his tone made me feel small, insignificant, like I existed only as an accessory for a purpose I didn’t agree to."Finalize the details," he ordered to the store employees w

**(William's POV)**The faint hum of conversations filled the Stone Pack estate, yet it did nothing to ease the simmering anger in my chest. The heavy tension in the air spread like wildfire, every subtle glance and whispered comment centered around Alexander Blackwood and his arrival.More specifically, it was about *who* he had brought with him.An omega.Not just any omega—one who seemed too connected and yet too insignificant to belong here. Her presence didn’t fit, and yet she stood beside him, her head high, as if she had every right to be in these halls.It grated at me.Now, face-to-face with Alexander, I kept my voice steady, though every word felt like restraint against the anger threatening to rise."Alexander," I started with a forced calm, "your arrival, along with your… companion, has certainly stirred conversations."His golden gaze met mine, unflinching. There was no hint of tension, no concern. The calmness in his expression enraged me. He didn’t care—he *never
