Aria's POV"Alpha Jonathan?" I said as I got closer. It was him.Amelia snapped fully awake the second she heard me mention his name. The noise we'd made wasn't exactly subtle, and sure enough, it caused Jonathan to stir. He shielded his eyes from the sudden light, blinking as he adjusted.When his gaze finally focused on me, Jonathan sat up straight, a flicker of embarrassment crossing his face."You're back?""Yes," I replied, then frowned slightly. "But what are you doing here?"I helped Amelia sit down first before turning back to him. Jonathan didn't answer right away. Instead, his eyes drifted toward Logan."You…""Hm?" Logan responded lightly.Jonathan rarely looked unsettled. I followed his line of sight just in time to see him turn back to me, smoothing his expression into a gentle smile."And who is this?""He is a world renowned pianist, Alpha Logan from the Stoneridge pack in Veridale," Amelia said with a teasing grin. She was now fully awake.Logan smiled at Amelia."You

Nathan's POVThe words struck deeper than any blade. My body went rigid. My fingers curled into my palms, nails biting into flesh.He was right.Back then, the one who had hurt her the most, the one who had let her suffer…Was me."You feel guilty?"Richard's laughter scraped against my ears, sharp and ugly. "Haha! Nathan, someone as arrogant as you actually feels guilty about someone?"He stared straight at me, his eyes gleaming as he caught the hesitation I couldn't fully hide. The instant he saw it, satisfaction bloomed on his face, rich and cruel.My wolf snarled furiously within me, hackles rising.Richard's laughter faltered. He stared into space. He looked like he was deep in thought.I knew they could only be thoughts about Aria. A look of pain crossed his face.I stood there rigid, my fists clenched, my wolf pacing violently beneath my skin. My eyes burned, heat gathering behind them like embers on the verge of igniting.Richard straightened slowly, wincing, then began to wal

Aria's POVAmelia's question landed heavily.This evidence could prove Sophia was Patrick's illegitimate daughter, but it couldn't resurrect a dead woman. It couldn't definitively prove Clarence had survived, nor that Sophia had been born of her and Patrick.Chloe's brows knit together, her annoyance sharp enough that even my wolf felt it. "If Patrick refuses to admit anything, then at most he's just a cheating scumbag. People will curse him, sure, but legally? He walks away."She clicked her tongue. "After all this effort, leaving him with nothing but a few scratches? That's infuriating."I lifted my gaze, meeting theirs. My pupils darkened, wolf-shadow bleeding into my eyes."Of course not," I said quietly. "I'm not stopping there."My wolf bared her fangs in agreement."I'm going to destroy his reputation completely."*****That evening, I arrived at Lakeside Pavilion restaurant at exactly 9 p.m. I had come an hour late on purpose.Richard was already seated alone at the table, exp

Aria's POV"It is a pity you really can't hold your liquor, Aria."Richard's voice slid into my ears like syrup laced with poison.My head spun violently, the world tilting and folding in on itself. I blinked hard, trying to force my feet to obey me, but my legs refused.If not for his arm around my waist, I would have collapsed onto the floor. Richard had brought me to a hotel.My wolf snarled inside me, furious and trapped.Get away from him.Richard seemed to sense my weakness immediately. I felt it in the way his eyes darkened, in how he leaned closer, crowding my space deliberately. His breath brushed my ear as he spoke again, his tone husky and coaxing."Aria… let me take you somewhere to rest. You're feeling really uncomfortable right now."The moment he said uncomfortable, my body reacted violently. Heat surged through me, starting at my spine and rushing up my neck, flooding my face. My vision blurred further, the edges of the world melting.A soft sound slipped from my lips

Nathan's POVAria's words completely gutted me. I was standing outside the door of the hotel room where she and Richard were currently inside and I heard everything."Alpha… should we head back?"Collin's voice came low and careful from beside me. He stood at the doorway, his shoulders stiff, his eyes flicking toward my face as if afraid I might shatter if he spoke too loudly.I didn't answer right away. My lips were pressed into a thin, bloodless line, my face so pale even Collins couldn't pretend not to notice. My heartbeat thundered in my ears, each thud echoing with my wolf's restless pacing.Just an hour ago, Sophia had sent those explosive revelations about Aria straight to the news outlets. I hadn't even bothered changing before I rushed here, driven by an instinct older than reason, the instinct to protect what was once mine.But fate, cruel as always, made sure we arrived too late.The reporters were already gone. What remained was worse. Standing outside the door, Collins an
