All Chapters of Reborn for the Lycan king : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Aria’s POV His voice didn’t rise, didn’t demand, it pleaded. A king who could command entire armies sat here, asking me to trust him? An ordinary alpha’s daughter like me?It’s true that my father was well to do, but compared to the Lycan king we were like ants in front of an elephant. My throat closed up. Part of me wanted to laugh in his face, to push him away, to tell him I owed him no explanation. But another part, the part still trembling from the dream of the Rite Of Dominion, from the vision of blood and betrayal, wanted to collapse into him, wanted to believe that someone else could hold this weight for me.But I couldn’t. I just couldn’t bring myself to trust anyone. “I..." My voice faltered, and I looked away, gripping the fabric of my dress. “I can’t tell you anything.”The silence that followed was heavy, but he didn’t snap, didn’t push further. Instead, his eyes grew distant, his expression hollowed by memory.“The day I found out that they were gone...” he continued

Aria’s POV He said as though he was waiting for my response before he responded to the other person at the receiving end of the call. “Meeting someone?” My voice sharpened, suspicion instantly rising. “Who?”His mouth curved faintly, but he didn’t answer directly. “Do you mind?”I narrowed my eyes, studying him. The way he looked at me was steady, unflinching, daring me to push further. Finally, I huffed and crossed my arms. “No. I don’t mind. But if someone tries anything stupid, don’t expect me to sit quietly and smile.”He chuckled under his breath, as if amused by my threat, then responded to the person and ended the call. We walked into the restaurant together, and, as always, he drew every eye in the room. It wasn’t just that he was the Lycan King, it was the way he carried himself, confident and untouchable.He reached the door first, holding it open for me like it was the most natural thing in the world. My chest tightened a little, though I masked it quickly, stepping past

Aria’s POV “Lady Aria.”I turned, startled. Elder Hamon was standing there, his wrinkled face half-shadowed by the torchlight on the corridor walls. His posture was stiff, and there was something in his eyes; something weighty, that made my stomach churn.“Yes, Elder?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, impatience laced with the worry I was trying to bury deep inside.He stepped closer, lowering his tone, as if afraid someone else might overhear. “The Betas found an intruder last night inside the pack grounds.”I froze, my blood turning cold.“What?” I yelled, the word tumbling out before I could catch it.“They captured him and he is in their custody now,” Hamon continued, his lined face unreadable. “We thought that you might want to see him yourself. Perhaps you can identify him.”For a moment, I could only stare at him. My mind spun, colliding with fragments of memory, the shadowy figure outside my father’s chambers, the fleeting silhouette in the woods, and my throa

Aria’s POV Everywhere was silent.My questions bounced off him like stones thrown into the void. His eyes locked onto mine, unblinking, unyielding, as if daring me to try harder.“Say something!” My voice rose without permission. My frustration boiled over, sharp and hot.But he only chuckled low, shaking his head slightly, the sound mocking in its quietness.I wanted to scream. To shake him. To break through whatever wall of silence he was hiding behind.But deep inside, I knew he was going to be a hard nut to crack. And right now, no matter how many questions I hurled at him, he wasn’t going to answer.I swallowed hard, forcing myself to step back. My voice was clipped, cold. “Keep a close eye on him,” I told Marv. “Double the airlocks. Make sure he doesn’t escape until he’s ready to talk.”“Yes, my lady,” Marv said, bowing his head.I turned sharply on my heel, my chest still heavy with the weight of unanswered questions. The sound of the intruder’s quiet laugh followed me out, ec

Aria’s POV The courtyard was quiet after Ronan left, but I could still feel his presence clinging to the air. My chest was tight, but Eros’s voice pulled me back.“Something like this,” he said suddenly, “already happened in my pack.”I stopped walking for a moment, my brows drawing together. “What do you mean?”His gaze flicked to mine, sharp and unreadable, then back ahead. “A man tried to break into my pack lands a few weeks ago when I had gone home.” His tone was steady, but there was something buried underneath, something almost grim. “We caught him and I saw his face.”My heartbeat stumbled.“So...” I said carefully, searching his face for a clue, “you think it could be the same person?”His jaw flexed, but he didn’t answer immediately. For a second, I thought he wouldn’t. But then he said, “That’s why I want to see him. If it’s the same man, then this isn’t just about your pack, Aria. It’s bigger, much bigger than you think.”The words sank heavy in my chest. A hundred que
