บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Seventh Bride: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Aria's POV“Why would you-” I started.“Get out.” Damian said, his voice was sharp.“You slept with her.” I said before I could stop myself. “After everything you told me after you asked for a truce.”“You shouldn’t have gone to the dungeon.” He shot back. “You disobeyed me, you put yourself in danger.”“I asked questions because I don’t understand this place!” I snapped. “People whisper about you, people hide things. I came for answers.”“You went somewhere you were told not to go.” He stepped closer. “That was a choice.”“So you made a choice too!” My voice rose. “You chose to sleep with Vivian, you chose to ignore me, why does your choice not matter?”His face hardened. “Do not make me explain myself.”“Explain? You expect me to stay and be calm while you lie and sleep around?” Tears were beginning to burn behind my eyes. I blinked them back.“You are making this about something it isn’t.” He said. “You don’t understand politics, you don’t understand power. I handled what I

Damian's POV“Aria.” I said, stepping closer.“Tell me what you are hiding.” I demanded.She stood by her bed, her back was straight, her eyes were firm even though I could see the tension in her shoulders.“I said I am not hiding anything.” She answered, her voice was low.“You are.” I kept my tone steady. “I can sense that you are not good at lying.”Her jaw tightened. “Then maybe you should go to Vivian. I am sure that she will tell you everything you want to hear.”My chest tightened at her words. “Aria-”“Why are you even here?” She snapped quietly. “You made your choice last night to go to her.”I exhaled slowly. “I know I shouldn’t have done that. I crossed a line with the matebond. I am not trying to act like it didn’t happen.”“Good.” She said, looking away. “Because I won’t pretend that it didn’t hurt.”I moved a little, reaching out to touch her arm, but she stepped away immediately, creating space between us.“Don’t.” She whispered. “Please.”The distance stung more t

Aria's POV“Aria.” Adria called again, stepping closer. “You really came.”I swallowed and kept my voice steady. “You must be Adrian.”He nodded once. “Yes Adrian Draven Alpha of the Blood Fang Pack.”I blinked. “You are an Alpha?”“Does that surprise you?”“I thought it was better said in person.”He watched my reaction carefully. His eyes studied every part of my expression.I straightened. “Why did you call me here? You could have sent someone else if you only wanted to warn me.”“I did not want to send it to someone else.” He replied. “I wanted to see you myself.” He said and I didn’t respond.Adrian stepped closer until I could see the small scar near his temple. His voice softened. “Aria, I have been watching everything happening in that palace. You are not safe there Damian is not someone you should trust.”My chest tightened. “You do not know him.”“I do.” Adrian said immediately. “More than you think.”I looked at him closely. “Then tell me why did you send me that letter?

Damian's POV“Aria, look at me.”“No, just leave.”“I said look at me.”“I don’t want to talk to you, Damian.”I stepped closer before she could move away again. Her voice was shaking but she kept her chin up like she always did when she did not want me to see she was scared. I didn’t care. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into me before she said another word.“Damian-”“Be quiet for a second.” I whispered against her hair.I held her tighter, her body was tense, her hands cold. I pressed my face into her neck and breathed her in, letting her scent calm the frustration and anger swirling through me. I didn’t let go for a long moment. I just held her because it was the only thing that made sense right now.When her shoulders finally relaxed a little, I pulled back slightly but kept my hands on her arms.“Who was threatening you?” I asked quietly.She hesitated, her eyes moved away from mine, and her hand shook when she reached for her phone. She unlocked it and placed it i

Damian's POV“Ethan, where is the first file for the border extension?”“You signed it an hour ago.”“I did?”“Yes you barely looked up while you did.”“Bring it again, I want to review it.”“You are stressed.”“No, I am busy.”“You haven’t eaten.”“Ethan, stop talking.”He sighed but left the office anyway. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my forehead. The conference had drained me more than I expected. Even after resting last night, my mind refused to settle.And Aria had something to do with that. My phone vibrated Aria.I answered immediately.“Why are you calling?” I asked.“I’m checking if you have eaten.”My lips twitched. “I was going to eat.”“You are lying.”“I am not lying.”“You sound tired.”“So do you.” I said quietly.“I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine.”She hesitated. “How do you know how I look?”“I remember your face this morning.”“Damian… are you doing okay?”A warmth spread through my chest. She had asked me if she cared enough to ask.“I am doing better.” I answ
