Even before I turned, my wolf reacted. That voice always did this to me, no matter how hard I tried to shut him out.It was Nathan.Sophia perked up instantly, her fear spiking. Her eyes immediately went wide and glossy with tears she definitely knew how to weaponize.“Nathan!” she wailed, her voice trembling, casting him the most pitiful look she could muster.Her panic hit my senses like sour smoke, irritating my wolf. Rowland obviously could see how fake she was, he was here earlier and saw how everything played out. But Nathan just arrived, what would he believe?To my surprise, Nathan didn’t rush to her. He didn’t even flinch. He just stood there, tall and unreadable, his gaze shifting… straight to me.The midday sun poured over him, outlining the hard lines of his face. He looked cold and distant like carved stone. His aura rippled out, making the small crowd that had gathered go silent one by one.I refused to let his presence crack me open again.My hand remained clamped around

Aria's POVJust like that, the wavering sympathy swung in her favor.Typical of them.The crowds were members of different packs. They all just wanted to defend whoever showed the strongest emotion.I inhaled slowly. My wolf stayed calm within me.This was nothing.Rowland’s lazy demeanor vanished for a moment. He looked down at me, concern flashing in his eyes…warm, unexpected.I didn’t blink, I didn’t waver.I simply watched the chaos unfold, feeling strangely detached.That seemed to satisfy him. His posture relaxed again.Sensing the shift in the crowd, Sophia straightened, her eyes brightening with renewed hope.She even mustered tears.“Aria,” she whimpered, her voice cracking, “I didn’t want to say this. You’ve hurt me so much…”I raised a brow….Here it comes.Sophia suddenly pointed at Rowland. He didn’t react, he barely lifted an eyebrow, unfazed.“Aria is my sister,” Sophia said piously. “I just don’t want her to return to the path of crime.”Murmurs spread. My wolf snorted i

Aria's POVRowland's tone held a tone of ache, like he wasn’t really asking me, but the woman he once knew.I glanced sideways at him. “Why?”My voice came out lighter than I intended, almost teasing.It surprised me how easily I tolerated Rowland calling me by name.When Richard did it, every hair on my neck stood on end. But with Rowland… I felt strangely patient as if something unseen kept nudging me toward him.Rowland didn’t answer right away.His fingertips brushed the wall, then drifted to the frame of the painting in front of us.“What do you think of these?” he asked.I shifted Lana in my arms and studied the artwork.They were stunning. Soft, delicate strokes forming vivid images with impossible ease…each painting pulsing with life, emotion, soul. The artist wasn’t just skilled… they were gifted, quite xtraordinary.But what caught my attention wasn’t the beauty, It was the signature in the corner.My heart skipped.“Anna?” I asked slowly. “Is that the artist’s name?”Rowland

Nathan’s POVPeter hesitated, his arm trembling slightly, a lump forming in his throat. Then he lowered his voice:"Call Sophia over."My fangs clenched, my ears twitched. Sophia?I grabbed him by the collar instinctively, claws of tension raking just beneath the surface."How could this have anything to do with Sophia? Don’t play games with me."His stubborn stare met mine. My wolf hissed, the hair on my neck rising. A cold shiver ran down my spine.If this… if this really has something to do with Sophia…My heart thudded in my chest, my Alpha instincts screaming. A wave of fear and fury collided inside me.If the leak of Hemsworth Group’s secrets wasn’t Aria’s doing… if it was Sophia all along… then everything…the attention and protection I had given Sophia…the slander and punishment I gave Aria—was a lie I had been feeding myself. My wolf snarled at the thought. I had underestimated Sophia. And I had underestimated the damage done to Aria.I took a step back, pressing my lips tightl

Aria's POVRowland looked as effortlessly charming as ever, but I caught the rapid flick of his heartbeat. He seemed surprised.“I am staying here temporarily,” he said with a shrug. “I didn’t know you were here. Asterfell is big, but… looks like fate wanted to play a trick on me.”His eyes stayed on me longer than they should have. They were warm, familiar and too unguarded.The moment he found out I was Nathan’s wife, he had worn calm like a mask outwardly, despite being shocked and confused on the inside. He probably must have heard the rumors by now, the ugly ones. The ones that labelled me criminal, traitor, the wolf who sold secrets to enemies.He hadn’t known the “incompetent husband” I used to mention… was the famous Nathan Hemsworth, Alpha of the Ironclaw Pack.He sat across from me, his eyes softening. I felt a strange re ftension coil in the air.I smiled politely. “I moved.”He inhaled sharply. “You returned to Hemsworth Villa. Are you leaving again so soon? Is Uncle Nathan
