All Chapters of Too Curvy To Be Luna, Too Strong To Break : Chapter 91 - Chapter 98

AriaAlec remained standing with his glass raised, his attention fixed on me as the conversations around the table gradually faded. I had expected him to bring up our marriage eventually, but I hadn't expected him to use the first evening of his visit to make it the centre of attention. Xavier sat beside me, his expression controlled, while the elders waited to hear what Alec considered so important that he had interrupted the diplomatic reception.“After Aria left Crestview, several personal and financial matters were never properly resolved,” Alec began. “There were responsibilities connected to our marriage that she simply walked away from, and I believe it is time we addressed them.”I placed my glass on the table, keeping my expression composed. The nerve of the man was almost impressive. He had spent years making decisions without considering me, yet now he wanted everyone in the room to believe I had abandoned my responsibilities.“I wasn't

AriaThe argument began before I had finished my breakfast.I was crossing the main courtyard with Maya when raised voices drew my attention toward the training grounds. Several Blackwood warriors stood facing members of Alec's delegation, their expressions growing more hostile with every passing second. One of the visiting wolves had stepped forward, pointing accusingly at a young Blackwood warrior while the others watched.“What exactly did you expect?” the visiting warrior demanded. “Your Alpha allows just anyone to wear the Luna's title, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that his warriors have forgotten their manners.”My steps slowed.The Blackwood warrior moved closer, his hands curling into fists. “You will watch your mouth while you're standing on our land.”“Or what?” the visitor sneered. “Will your precious Luna come and command us to behave?”I stepped forward before either man could make the mistake of turn

AriaThe reception hall had been transformed for the evening, with golden lights reflecting off the polished floors and soft music filling the space between conversations. Blackwood was hosting another formal gathering for Alec's delegation, this time with the intention of maintaining goodwill after the uncomfortable exchanges of the previous day. I had no intention of allowing Alec's presence to make me uncomfortable in my own home, so I chose a wine-coloured gown with a fitted waist and delicate sleeves, then joined Maya as the guests began arriving.Xavier approached me near the entrance, dressed in a black suit that made him look every bit the Alpha he was. He offered his arm, but he didn't reach for me or assume I would accept it.“May I?” he asked.I looked at his extended arm before meeting his eyes. “You may.”His smile was small, but I noticed it. I slipped my hand through his arm, partly because I wanted to and partly because I

AriaSelene's words followed me long after she walked away. I tried to return my attention to the conversations around me, but my thoughts kept circling the same question. What could Alec possibly have kept from our marriage that I would desperately want back? I had left Crestview with very little, and whatever I had lost during that marriage had never been important enough to make me consider returning.I found Selene near one of the windows, speaking with two women from the visiting delegation. When she noticed me approaching, she excused herself from their conversation and turned with her familiar polished smile.“You seem troubled, Aria.”“I'm curious,” I replied. “You mentioned that Alec has something from our marriage that I would want back. What exactly are you talking about?”She glanced around before lowering her voice. “He brought some documents connected to your former marriage. I believe they contain information that could be rather embarrassing for you if the matter becom
