Semua Bab Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back: Bab 191 - Bab 200

Aria's POVJonathan nodded in agreement. “About that, they were set aside because you insisted on personally overseeing them. But then…” He stopped, choosing his words carefully. “We lost contact with you.”A shadow crossed my mind.Prison. That was where I had been for eighteen months. I remembered the cold floors, the scent of despair. My wolf trapped behind silver-strength bars.I never told Williams about my real name until few days ago. He only knew me by my alias, Selena. Maybe if him and his brother, Alpha Jonathan knew my identity, who knows, they would have interfered and helped resolve my case and set me free. They were powerful alphas afterall.I swallowed, lifting my head.“Do you still have the design drawings?” I asked, my voice softer. “If so, I can speed up the samples myself and hand everything off to your team.”Jonathan’s composure cracked just a little. His excitement rolled off him like heat waves, strong enough that even my wolf perked up.“I carry your original

Aria’s POVNathan said nothing.I walked into my room.Bang!I slammed the door shut behind me.The sound ricocheted through the room, sharp and violent, and my wolf flinched in alarm. Lana stirred immediately, her small body jolting awake. She blinked at me with wide, glassy eyes, confusion written all over her face, then lifted her little arms toward me.“Mm… Mommy…”That single word shattered what little strength I had left.The anger that had been burning in my veins collapsed into exhaustion. My legs nearly gave out as I crossed the room and gathered her into my arms. The moment her warmth pressed against me, the dam broke. Tears slipped free before I could stop them.I went and locked the door.With the world shut out, it was just us…mother and child.I buried my face against Lana’s tiny chest, breathing in her soft, milky scent. It grounded me, soothed the frantic pacing of my wolf. I knew I shouldn’t cry in front of her. A wolf mother was supposed to be strong, unyielding, a s

Nathan's POVThe words escaped before I could stop them.Her reaction was immediate. She froze, her eyes narrowing slightly as she studied me like I’d spoken in a foreign tongue.Still, when she met my gaze, something changed. I saw her defenses hesitate, her sharp reply falter before it ever reached her lips.It felt as though her heart took the blow I hadn’t meant to strike.Her lips trembled slightly as she lifted her chin, skepticism shadowing her eyes.She sneered. “Strikingly forgetful, aren’t you, Alpha Nathan?”Each word was dipped in venom. I didn't know why she had said that and I didn't ask.A dry smile curved my lips. It was bitter and defensive. “The Hemsworth Group will issue an official statement on your behalf. We’re already containing the narrative.”My gaze drifted back to the invitation in her hand, at the the name that still scraped at my instincts.“Some events huh,” I added coolly, “seem a bit… superfluous.”Inside, my wolf paced restlessly.Because no matter how

Nathan's POVI paced around outside the hall, a little bit impatient.It is getting late already, why is she not here yet to clear her name?“What a waste of Alpha Nathan’s goodwill.”The muttered words drifted through the crowd like rot.My wolf lifted his head instantly, his ears sharp, his teeth bared beneath my calm exterior.“Perhaps she won’t even show up,” another voice sneered. “Luna Aria, always relying on someone else to clean up her mess.”Disdain thickened the air. I could smell it. The chatter festered until patience snapped.I turned.The woman who’d spoken met my gaze and froze.People often described my eyes as cold, but in moments like this, they weren’t just cold. They were empty. Like staring into a dark forest where something apex waited silently.“Al…Alpha Nathan,” she stammered, her bravado collapsing into regret.My wolf surged forward, demanding retribution.“Terminate all our Company’s dealings with her family,” I said flatly to Collins.I didnt have to raise

Aria's POVI didn’t circle the truth.“What did you mean by what you said at the gala?” I asked.Nathan paused, brushed his hair back and looked away.“In front of outsiders and the media,” he said coolly, “you’re still the wife of the president of Hemsworth Group’s wife. You should maintain appearances.”The words landed like scraps tossed to a stray.My wolf stiffened, hackles rising.What was I really expecting? I thought to myself.Nathan’s mouth curved into a mocking smile. “Did you really think I believed you were innocent?”The words struck harder than claws.Heat rushed to my face. My chest tightened. I let out a low, cold laugh.“Ah,” I said softly, venom coating every syllable. “The ever-decisive Alpha Nathan.. How foolish of me.”The sarcasm masked the ache, but my wolf felt it all…she felt the old wound split open, bleeding memory and betrayal.“Aria,” Nathan said sharply, his eyes narrowing, “what good does provoking me do? You’ll never escape the label of an ex-con. Only
