Aria's POVA frown etched Rowland’s face. He seemed a bit perturbed.I leaned in. “What’s up?” I whispered.He shook his head. “I don’t know. Something just feels… odd.”Odd. I couldn't help but wonder what that was about.Rowland’s brows pinched, as though his thoughts were spinning. Then he suddenly turned to me. “My uncle’s here. I’ll introduce you to him later.”I froze.He wanted me to meet his uncle?We’d only seen each other three times. Just three times. Wasn’t this way too fast?My cheeks heated in horror.I looked at him like he’d lost his mind, but he only smiled warmly, expectantly, like he really wanted this.“No,” I finally said after a moment of deliberation, shaking my head. “If you want to catch up with your uncle, you should go. I’ll leave right after the auction.”Rowland’s hand shot out, wrapping firmly around my wrist.His fingers were warm and his wolf was clearly alert.His eyes locked onto mine, unusually serious.“I’m not meet him anymore tonight,” he said. “It

Aria's POVFor a heartbeat, the entire auction house went dead silent. Then a wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd. Wolves, even low-rankers with weaker senses were blinking in disbelief, scenting the air like they expected the necklace to suddenly reveal some hidden magic.But there was no magic.Just cruelty, just Nathan…throwing money around because he could afford to do so.My heart dropped so fast it felt like I’d been punched from the inside.One hundred million, for Grandma’s ordinary pearl necklace.My wolf whimpered, curling tight in my chest. He’s doing this on purpose.Of course he was. He could crush us with a twitch of his finger, and he knew it.Rowland went pale. Even his wolf scent dimmed like cold ashes after a fire.“Sorry,” he muttered, guilt coating his voice, “I don’t have that kind of money on me right now…”I forced a soft smile and squeezed his hand, mostly to ground myself.“It’s okay, really.”It wasn’t.It hurt so badly I could barely breathe.I lowered

Aria's POVMy laugh vanished like smoke. The warmth in my chest froze into ice. Every hair on my body stood on end. I knew it was Nathan, my soon to be ex-mate, my tormentor. My wolf growled low in my throat, muscles tensing as if ready to pounce.The car had pulled up earlier; I’d heard it, felt it in the vibrations through the floorboards. And now, this? He was here. At my door.I didn’t move. My body refused to obey, anchored by fear and furt. My wolf circled, restless, coiled around me like a living shadow.I didn’t need to see him to know that he was out there, waiting and atching.So I stayed rooted, and silent.Nathan’s POVThe air was unnervingly still.My wolf felt it first, that strange, hollow quiet that clung to the walls like frost.I frowned. Had she already fallen asleep?No… her scent said otherwise. She was awake, guarded and hurt.I exhaled and turned, ready to step away, when a soft click cut through the air.The door opened and she stood there.Aria.Her eyes cold,

Aria’s POVMorning light crept through the curtains, warm but sharp, like golden claws brushing against my eyelids. A cool breeze drifted into the room, carrying the earthy scent of pine and the faint musk of wolves patrolling somewhere beyond the villa grounds.I groaned softly and lifted a hand to rub my temples. A dull throb pulsed behind my eyes. It was leftover stress from last night’s mess with Nathan. Then it struck me.The window…Right. I’d been so upset that I hadn’t even bothered closing it.I pushed the blankets aside and shuffled toward the window, but the moment I touched the frame, every trace of sleep vanished. My wolf stirred restlessly under my skin, awakened by the morning forest smells, the cool air, and—if I was being honest, the lingering imprint of Nathan’s scent in the room.Trying to ignore all that, I grabbed my phone, scrolling aimlessly… until one bold subject line snagged my eye.I tapped it open. Read it once, then again.My heartbeat quickened.It has bee

Nathan's POVMy hand went to my chest automatically, trying to calm the racing thud of my heart. My wolf pressed against my ribs, his yearning a constant plea.The feelings clawing at me were nothing I could name, I could only feel.Only suffer.What was happening to me?I’d tossed and turned in my chair until dawn, unable to cage my thoughts or my wolf. Finally, driven by a mix of guilt and something far more selfish, I called the department overseeing Kate’s inheritance and forced them to act.The inheritance was Aria's and whether I admitted it or not… I wanted to give her something, anything, to ease even a fraction of what she had suffered.With another sigh, I shut the laptop and rubbed my temples, exhaustion creeping up my spine. My wolf nudged the edges of my consciousness, restless, uneasy.“Aria…” I murmured, her name echoing strangely in my own ears.I turned toward my room, hoping sleep might untangle the chaos inside me. But I knew it wouldn’t because whatever I did, I cou
