Semua Bab Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back: Bab 231 - Bab 240

Aria's POVMy expression remained cold.“Sophia didn't do anything to you! Stop smearing her name!” Margaret said through clenched teeth.I turned to the security guard and he immediately sprung to action. “If you do not leave, I will make sure you do!” The crackle of his electric baton echoed in the air causing Margaret and her sister to hurriedly leave but not without hurling curse words at me.Once the smoke from their retreat cleared, I stepped out fully disguised. My wolf prowled beneath my calm exterior, sensing every shift of the bustling street, alert to the invisible eyes of those who might try to shame me in public.The driver followed my lead as I directed him to an eatery where Amelia had agreed to meet me. My senses were alert even as we approached.Inside, the simplicity of the place contrasted sharply with my tense energy. Even masked, my posture and poise drew eyes, whispers brushing against me like wind across fur. My wolf growled low at their curiosity.Then I spotte

Nathan's POV“We’ve already dispatched people,” Collins said quickly. “The moment we locate her, we’ll secure Luna Aria with every resource we have.”To me, that was not enough.My heart was pounding too fast, blood roaring in my ears. The images replayed in my mind…Aria running, surrounded, hunted. The thought of her fear sent a violent shiver through me, my wolf slamming against my ribs, demanding release.A sudden knock broke through my thoughts.“Knock, knock—”Collins glanced at me. I rubbed my temples, forcing my breathing to slow, and gave a short nod. “Open it.”The door swung open, and Sophia rushed in.“Nathan…”Her voice was trembling, her face drawn with distress. Today, my patience was razor-thin. I lifted my gaze to her, letting just enough of my cold authority surface.She stiffened under it.“What’s wrong?” I asked, my tone clipped.Sophia bit her lip, clearly intimidated, but she pressed on. “It’s about my sister…”That single word snapped my attention fully into plac

Aria's POVMy eyes widened, and my heart slammed violently against my ribs. I nearly stumbled forward as I shoved the door open and rushed inside, my instincts screaming.In the center of the living room, Sophia was holding Lana.My heart stopped.“What are you doing?!” I shouted, sprinting across the room.I tore Lana from her arms without hesitation, pulling my daughter tightly against my chest. My wolf surged forward, furious, protective, ready to bare fangs. I scanned Lana from head to toe, breathing in her familiar scent, making sure she is safe and unharmed.Only then did I release a shaky breath.My angry gaze snapped back to Sophia.She smiled wider.“Sister,” she said sweetly, her eyes glittering. “Why are you so nervous?”“How did you get in here?” I demanded, my voice low and dangerous. I adjusted my hold on Lana, shielding her instinctively with my body.Sophia didn’t answer immediately.Instead, her expression changed in a heartbeat. From smugness to fragility. Her eyes r

Nathan's POVI sat alone in my study, the light still turned on.The house was quiet, but my wolf wasn’t. It paced restlessly beneath my skin, claws scraping against my ribs as if the space itself rejected stillness. I braced my arms on the desk, my shoulders tense, my jaw locked. The Alpha of the Ironclaw pack didn’t get the luxury of distraction.I got a call, It was Collins.“Alpha Nathan,” Collins’s voice came through the phone, steady and efficient. “We’re controlling the online narrative. Discussions about Luna Aria are mostly positive now.”I gave a brief nod, though he couldn’t see it.“Good.”The single word was clipped and final.Collins hesitated. He knew my moods too well, knew when to retreat before getting caught in the storm. He made a quick excuse and ended the call.I set the phone down and leaned back, staring at nothing.Agreeing to apply pressure on Lucious for Sophia had been a calculated move. A warning growl, nothing more. I hadn’t expected it to snap back and d

Aria's POVFor the first time, fear cracked Sophia's composure. It was as if invisible claws were wrapped around her throat. We’d fought for years, openly, covertly but it had never been this intense. She had never seen me like this.Then my gaze shifted to the nanny.I rounded on her like a predator sighting prey.“She said Lana was alone when she arrived,” I said coldly. “Is this how you take care of her? Where were you?”Her lips trembled. “I…I was hired by Alpha Nathan, I can’t be watching all the time…”Smack!The sound rang even louder than the first.I held Lana with one arm, my other hand still raised, my face devoid of warmth.“If anything happens to my daughter,” I said slowly, “I will sue you until you have nothing left. I don’t care who hired you.”Authority rolled off me like a command from an Alpha.The nanny finally panicked, her eyes darting to Sophia for help.Sophia said nothing. Just glared at me, looking furious and powerless.Then…Wooh…wooh…Sirens wailed outside
