All Chapters of Reborn for the Lycan king : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Aria’s POVHe stepped closer, too close, his voice dropping to a whisper. “It seems you don’t understand what I’ve been saying, Aria. It seems you don’t understand what I’ve been telling you, I can’t live without you.”Something dark flickered behind his eyes, not love, not regret, but obsession.“I’ve changed,” he murmured. “I’m not the man I used to be. You’ll see. We can fix this, please Aria.”When his hand came up, reaching for my face, I didn’t think, I just reacted and landed a hot slap on his cheeks.The slap echoed through the courtyard.His head snapped to the side, and for a second, his jaw clenched, his teeth grinding. “How dare you hit me, Aria!” He yelled, then his hand lifted as if to slap me back, but he stopped. His palm hit the stone wall beside my head instead, cracking the surface, dust scattering between us.“I don’t want to have anything to do with you, go away!” I said, my voice trembling but steady.He stared at me, his breath harsh. “You don’t mean that,” he

Aria’s POVHe reached for my hand again, slowly, almost cautiously, as though afraid I might vanish. “I have your best interest at heart, Aria,” he said gently. “I always do, I don’t know how many times you want me to say it, but you have to believe that. Please... tell me what’s going on.”I opened my mouth to speak, and the memories came before the words did.Darren’s hands.Elara’s face The knife. The unbearable pain. The blood. The hollow ache of losing the child that had never even had a chance to breathe.The air in the corridor turned thin. I could taste the past, metallic, bitter, unending.Eros’s thumb brushed against my knuckles, grounding me, but the flash of that night broke through again, the look in Elara’s eyes, wild and cold, as they took everything from me.No. I shook my head visibly, I won’t let that happen again, not ever again.I swallowed the pain, blinked the tears away, and forced a small, a broken smile. “It’s nothing,” I said softly.He stared at me, th

Aria’s POVThe silence after the call lingered long after Daniella hung up, and for a moment, I just sat there, the phone still pressed to my ear, listening to the silence that wanted to suffocate me. My pulse thudded against my ribs, steady but heavy, like a warning drum echoing in my chest.Elara was really coming here?The thought felt wrong, jagged, and out of place. I tried to convince myself that she just wanted to make peace, that she was sincere this time, but even my own heart didn’t believe it. After everything that happened, after everything she did, what could she possibly want from me now? Why does she suddenly want to be close to me?I swallowed hard, forcing myself to move. I called one of the pack’s betas stationed at the main gate, my voice steadier than I felt. “There’s a visitor coming,” I said. “Her name’s Elara. When she arrives, escort her straight to the guest quarters, and inform me immediately.”“Yes, Luna,” he replied promptly, his voice crisp through the li

Aria’s POV“Eros,” I breathed, startled.He looked just as surprised, his hand instinctively catching my arm to steady me. His grip was firm, warm, grounding, but his eyes; they flickered, as if caught between guilt and something else.“Aria,” he said quickly, his voice a little too smooth. “You should be in bed, It’s late, what are you doing here?”“I could say the same to you.” I searched his face, noting the faint sheen of sweat on his temple, the tension in his jaw. “Where have you been?”He hesitated just for a second, but it was enough for me to see the crack he was trying so hard to hide.“I— I had something to take care of,” he said finally, eyes darting away. “Pack matters.”I frowned, “Pack matters?” I repeated, my tone sharper than I intended. “Then why didn’t anyone know where you were? I looked for you; for Lowell, too. Neither of you were anywhere in the pack house.”His jaw tightened, a flicker of unease crossing his expression before he smoothed it away. “You’ve bee

Aria’s POV“That’s strange,” he murmured. “Did you try calling her?”“Several times,” I said. “But she didn’t take the call. And Daniella’s not answering either.” For a moment he didn’t speak, he just stood there, staring past me, his expression distant, thoughtful, but uneasy.“Eros,” I said quietly, stepping closer. “You’re doing it again.”His eyes snapped to mine. “Doing what?”“Thinking something and pretending you’re not,” I said, my voice sharper now. “Do you know something about it?”“No,” he said too quickly. “No, I don’t. I promise.”I searched his face for a long moment. “You’re sure?”“Yes,” he said, then added, softer, “Aria, Elara’s an adult. She can take care of herself. Maybe she stopped somewhere on the way, or the weather delayed her. Let’s not assume the worst. If we don’t hear from her before noon, I’ll send some betas to your pack to check if she went back.”His expression was calm, exactly what I should’ve wanted to see; but his tone didn’t ease the gnawing in m
