Aria’s POV “I’ll be careful,” I promised. “I’ll make him believe every word I say. I’ll give him just enough to keep him convinced.”“And if he demands more than words?” His tone was sharp, cutting. “If he wants to touch you?”I hesitated, my pulse fluttering. I knew that was coming. “I’ll find ways to delay him. I’ll make excuses, distract him.”Eros’s eyes were burning now, wild with emotions I couldn’t name. “And if he pushes?”“Then I’ll handle it,” I said quietly. “I’m not that girl anymore, Eros. I can take care of myself.”He stepped closer, until his breath brushed my skin. His hands came up to cup my face, his touch trembling slightly. “I know you’re not,” he whispered. “That’s not what terrifies me.”“Then what does?” I asked, my voice barely above a breath.He exhaled shakily. “That you’re so stubborn, and you won’t ask for help until it’s too late.”Something in my chest twisted and for a moment, I wanted to forget the plan, forget Darren, forget everything and just st

Aria’s POVHis hands moved over me like he was tracing promises into my skin, mapping every curve, every line. His mouth followed, pressing kisses to places that made me gasp and arch and whisper his name like a prayer.He took his time with me, so much time that I thought I might come apart from the tenderness of it alone. Every touch felt deliberate, meaningful. Every kiss felt like a vow being sealed between us.When he finally inserted his hard cock inside me, our eyes locked and held. The connection was overwhelming, not just physical but something more profound. Like our souls were reaching for each other in the space where our bodies joined.We moved together slowly, no rush. Just the steady, rolling rhythm of two people trying to memorize each other through touch and breath and the way we fit together so perfectly it felt like fate. When we were both satisfied, it felt less like an ending and more like a promise, something sacred passing between us that no distance or danger co

Aria’s POV I nodded faintly, pretending to steady myself. Inside, my pulse was a wild drumbeat, but I masked it behind a soft smile.As we walked through to his chamber, some Wolves stared, Heads turning in surprise. “Lady Aria?” “She’s back?” “Did she leave the Lycan King?” They whispered. By the time we reached his chambers, the murmurs had grown into a full buzz of astonishment. I stood there, surrounded by the three patrol guards who’d brought me. Their posture was alert but respectful now, their heads slightly bowed as they waited for orders. And then, I heard footsteps, slow, and deliberate footsteps.The heavy oak doors creaked open, and Darren stepped out into the light.For a heartbeat, I forgot how to breathe. He was still in his usual fitted shirt and dark trousers, but there was a sharpness to him now, a polish that wasn’t there before. Like someone who was prepared for war. His hair was slightly tousled, the wind brushing it back from his forehead, and his expressio

Aria’s POV“Everyone deserves a second chance,” he murmured. The words rolled off his tongue with that infuriating blend of arrogance and mock mercy, the kind of tone that said he wasn’t forgiving me, he was granting me the privilege of his attention again.I let my eyes widen, just a little, letting hope flicker across my face like a fragile flame. “You... you mean it?” My voice trembled as I looked up at him, my lashes wet, my gaze trembling between fear and gratitude. But inside, my stomach twisted, every nerve screaming at me to recoil. But I didn’t, I didn’t have a choice. His lips curved, not quite a smile, more of a smirk of satisfaction. He enjoyed this. He enjoyed watching me bend, watching me yield to him. He always had. “I mean you’ll need to prove yourself,” he said, his voice low, his thumb brushing over my arm in a motion that looked tender but felt like ownership. “Show me you’re serious this time.”I swallowed hard, lowering my gaze as though the words shamed me. “

Eros’ POVThe return to my pack felt hollow. Every step through the halls echoed like someone was accusing me, why did you let her go? Wolves looked up as I passed, their gazes cautious, unaware of what was going on. She was now on the other side of the border, sleeping under the same roof as the man who had once killed her. And will attempt it again. I went straight to my office, shutting the door behind harder than I meant to. The sound reverberated through the room, followed by silence so heavy it pressed on my chest.My desk was still cluttered with the same documents I’d left there last night, the reports, patrol schedules, and rough files from our investigations so far. My eyes drifted, as they always did, to the tall window that faced the woods, and beyond them, ‘Darren’s land’.From here, I couldn’t see his house clearly, but I could catch a glimpse of it.It was close enough that if I listened hard enough, I could almost imagine the faint hum of their wolves moving throug
