Semua Bab The Alpha's Seventh Bride: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Damian’s POVI had not slept since the argument with Aria replayed in my head like a wound that refused to close every word she threw at me dug deeper than I wanted to admit. She was wrong about many things but not about how much she was starting to affect me.My wolf had been restless since dawn. He paced inside me, snarling, pushing against my control.‘Go to her.’ He growled. ‘She is ours.’I clenched my fists on the edge of my desk. “No.” I muttered under my breath. “Not now.”The beast pushed harder, his need pulsed through me, hot and demanding, the kind of pull that burned behind my ribs. He didn’t care about rules, about the council, about appearances. He cared only about her scent, her fear, her defiance.It was driving me insane, a knock on the door broke my thoughts. “Come in.” I said, forcing my voice to sound calm.Ethan stepped inside, holding a folder. His eyes flickered briefly to me before he spoke. “You look like hell, Damian.”“Say what you came to say.” I mutte

Damian's POVAria went limp in my arms the moment she whispered that soft thank you, her body relaxed, her breathing eased, and her head fell against my shoulder as she drifted into unconsciousness.For a moment, I did not move, I just held her, feeling her warmth, feeling her small breaths against my neck. The scent of her heart was still strong, too strong but now that she wasn’t in pain, it didn’t hit me like a blow to the chest.I exhaled slowly and my wolf wanted to keep her close. My human side wanted to calm down and both sides wanted her safe.I stood up and lifted her out of the tub. Her skin was still warm, but the cold water had reduced the worst of it. I carried her carefully, trying not to shake, and took her back into her room.The sheets were crumpled from her earlier agony. Her hair stuck to her cheeks. She looked small and fragile , not the girl who argued with me, not the girl who stared at me down. Just, Aria fighting something she couldn’t control. I set her gentl

Damian’s POVThe Moon Festival always felt like a performance that I was forced to sit through. Wolves from different packs filled the palace courtyard, colorful banners, dancers, hunters sharpening claws, nobles drinking and laughing as if their lives had no problems. The air was thick with roasted meat, burning herbs, and wild excitement.But none of it touched me. My thoughts were still in the east wing, behind the locked doors where I should have been where she was.Aria who was still in heat, still vulnerable, still refusing me.Ethan stepped beside me, handing me a carved goblet. “Security is stationed across the eastern corridor.” He reported. “No unmated males can pass without my approval.”Good that slightly eased the pressure twisting in my chest.“And Aria?” I asked quietly.“Locked in.” He answered. “Just like you instructed.”A knot loosened inside me, though not fully. The heat had weakened her. The memory of her shaking in my arms still irritated my wolf, who kept pac

Damian's POVEthan was standing in front of me, his chest was still heaving from the run, his clothes were stained with dust and rogue scent.“We found a trail.” He said quickly.“It leads out of pack territory… into the human side an old warehouse to be precise it is not guarded heavily, at least not on the outside.”For a while everything that was around me was blurred. My wolf shoved against my skin, in a furious, cold, murderous way but I forced myself to stay still, think, breathe.“Send word to every outpost.” I said, keeping my voice low. “If anyone sees Selena, they capture her, not kill her.” I stared directly into Ethan’s eyes. “I want her breathing.”Ethan nodded without hesitation. He did not question it, he knew didn’t need to know what my rage looked like, this tight, controlled burn that made my lungs feel too small.We moved immediately making sure there was no delay, there was no discussion. The drive into human territory was fast and silent, the trees blurred past

Damian's POVI stayed beside Aria for hours, watching every rise of her chest, but the monitors didn’t lie. Her heartbeat was still unstable. The doctor kept moving around her, changing bags, checking her pulse, injecting things I didn’t care to understand. Every second I stood there, the urge to tear apart the world grew inside me.When her breathing finally settled into a fragile rhythm, Dr. Hale looked at me.“You should rest, Alpha.” He said. “We will call you if anything changes.”I did not want to leave. I wanted to stay where she was, but if I stayed, I would fall apart and I needed my head clear to deal with the rogues.I touched her hair gently. “I will be back soon.” I whispered.She did not move. Ethan followed me out of the room, keeping a small distance. He could sense my anger building by the second.We exited the hospital, and I walked straight toward the palace without a word. The night air was cold, but my body felt too hot, my wolf pacing aggressively under my skin
