Semua Bab Reborn for the Lycan king : Bab 141 - Bab 150

Aria’s POVAt first, I thought it was just the wind, but then came the sound of footsteps and the soft rustle of fabric. I followed the sound toward the veranda near the east wing.Elara stood there, her back to me, a phone pressed tightly to her ear.“No,” she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. “Not yet. He doesn’t know. But soon.”My heart stilled.I took a step closer, trying to hear more, but the wooden board creaked beneath my foot.She spun around instantly, her eyes wide, guilt flashing across her face before she masked it with that sweet, innocent smile. “Aria,” she said lightly, clutching the phone to her chest. “You scared me.”“Who were you talking to?” I asked quietly, my tone casual. She blinked. “No one,” she said too fast. “Just Daniella. I was checking on her.”“Really,” I said flatly.“Yes,” she insisted, forcing a little laugh. “You look pale. You should rest, my dear friend.”The way she said friend made my stomach twist.When she walked past me, the scent of

Aria’s POVHe hesitated, as if weighing the words. “I saw a woman. She was leaving Darren’s new house by our pack boundaries. I didn’t get a clear look, but I think it was Elara.”My stomach dropped.“What?”He nodded slowly. “At first, I thought I was imagining it. But she moved like her, smelled like her. I didn’t want to tell you until I was sure.”My pulse quickened. If Elara had been there, then everything, her sudden arrival, her tears, her apologies had been part of a plan just as I thought. She wasn’t just here by coincidence.She had come with purpose. I remembered all the suspicions I’d see in these past days, and that was when it all made sense to me. She wants to feed information to Darren. Oh goodness! What were they planning this time?I stood slowly, my hands trembling. “Something is fishy,” I whispered. “If she had spent the night at Darren’s place then why didn’t she tell me?”Eros rose too, his voice low and firm. “You have a point, Aria. But don’t worry, if you

Aria’s POV“Yes,” he said, pacing slowly as he spoke. “There was movement in the pack house long after everyone was asleep. Someone left through the east gate without using the wards. No one can do that without knowing how to disable them first.”A shiver crawled over my skin, indeed only inner-circle members had that access. “Did you see who it was?”He shook his head. “No. They were fast, and cloaked. But I tracked them into the forest, and that’s when I lost them.” He paused, his eyes darkening. “When I found you lying there, half-dead…” He stopped himself, his hand flexing slightly at his side, the memory clearly still raw. “It didn’t feel like a coincidence. I think the person I followed led me straight to you.”The room seemed to close in around me, the fire dimming under the weight of his words.“So you’re saying…” I swallowed hard. “You think the same person who left the pack that night might have been the one who attacked me?”His gaze met mine, steady and grim. “I think

Eros’s POVShe held my hands, “I’m so sorry you had to go through all that alone. But I promise you one thing, from now henceforth I’ll stand by your side. And we’ll get justice.”I met her eyes again, surprised by the certainty in her tone. There was no hesitation, no fear, just conviction. It stirred something in me, something that had long been buried under years of suspicion and loneliness.Then her voice broke through the moment, steady but deliberate. “But if we’re going to find whoever’s hiding among us, we’ll need eyes everywhere.”I frowned. “What do you mean?”“We need new CCTV cameras,” she said, leaning forward slightly. “The old ones in the pack house they’re outdated. They barely record properly, and whoever’s doing this knows it. We need to replace all of them quietly and no one can know abou it except us.”She made so much sense and for a heartbeat I wondered why I hadn’t thought of it all these while. “New cameras,” I repeated. She nodded. “Yes. If anyone’s sneaking

Aria’s POVAnd then, just as the woods disappeared behind us and the forest began to fade away, I felt a chill, a prickle on the back of my neck that never lied.I turned around, staring at the road for anything unusual. The trees were still, the air unmoving, I glanced into the rearview mirror for what had to be the fifth time in five minutes. The same dark-colored car was still there keeping its distance, but never quite far enough to overtake us. It began to feel like the car was following us. Eros noticed it too; his instincts were sharper than anyone’s. His hand brushed mine, subtle, protective.I swallowed hard, keeping my voice low. “Eros..."He didn’t look at me, but his jaw tightened. “What is it?”My pulse quickened, the words barely leaving my lips.“I think,” I whispered, “I think that someone is following us.”“Have you seen that car behind?” I asked quietly, my pulse quickening.He didn’t look at me, just followed my gaze in the mirror. “I see it,” he murmured. His v
