Semua Bab Divorced Mate: Now Untouchable: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Aria’s POV“Sera, stay with me,” I said, my voice shaking. “Stay with me, okay?”She was too pale now. Her breathing had gone shallow. Charlotte stood frozen a few feet away, while Charles remained in front of her.That sight hit me hard.One child shielding another.Sera bleeding on the floor.And I'm still trapped in a body that has failed me too many times already.My wolf surged so violently inside me that I gasped. She was truly awake.The room sharpened instantly. The smell of blood turned unbearable. I could hear Sera’s heartbeat, too fast and too thin. I could hear Charlotte trying not to cry. I could hear Charles breathing hard as he stood his ground.And beyond all that I sensed danger, very close.My wolf rose with savage force.“Now,” she growled.Heat tore through me from the inside out, rushing from Astra’s mark and flooding every vein in my body. My pulse thundered. My skin prickled. My wounds screamed.I pulled my hands away from Sera and forced myself upright.For a s

Astra’s POV I did not sleep that night. Aria finally drifted off after speaking with Sera. I stood by the window of the adjoining chamber, looking out over the inner grounds while the bond between us pulsed faintly in my chest. My wolf was restless, and I knew why. Sera. The moment Aria reached for her hand, something had changed. I had felt it sharply through our bond, yet I dismissed it. But I couldn't it anymore. So while the rest of the household settled into silence, I had a private test done. Just me, the sealed medical ward, a

Aria’s POV“I wasn’t serving them willingly!” Felix choked. “I had no choice!”My chest tightened.Felix dragged in a rough breath and kept going.“I found my parents,” he said hoarsely. “After all these years… I finally found them. They were barely surviving. I wanted to help them, give them a better life.”His voice cracked.“But someone got to them first. Set my father up. Debts overnight. Impossible to pay. And to settle it…” His voice broke completely. “He sold my mother.”I shut my eyes briefly.“When I found out, it was too late,” he went on. “They had already taken control. My mother was unstable. She didn’t even recognize where she was. My father… They moved him. Overseas. Threatened to cut him apart if I didn’t obey.”“You could have told me,” Astra said.“I couldn’t!” Felix snapped. “You had too much on your plate already. And it was my problem. I could fix it. I had money. I thought that was enough.”My fingers curled against my knee.“They gave me one task,” Felix said. “

Astra’s POVThe carriage rolled quickly into the courtyard.Felix had one hand locked around Charles, dragging him toward the door. The blade was too close to my son’s throat.Every instinct in me screamed to tear him apart where he stood, but one wrong step and Charles would pay for it.“Easy,” Felix said. “Just let me leave. That’s all.”My gaze stayed on him.“Our brotherhood is over,” I said quietly. “Next time we meet, I won’t hold back.”He flinched but he didn’t stop. Charles stood stiff in his grip. I could feel his fear even from where I stood. “Daddy…” he whispered, voice small but controlled. “I’m okay.”Then a figure broke away from the shadows and ran straight at them.“Aria—!”Too late. She lunged. Her hand caught Charles just enough to break Felix’s hold.Felix shoved Charles away and struck with the knife.Her body hit the ground hard and she slid across the stone.I saw blood, spreading and tearing through everything that had barely begun to heal.Something inside m

Aria’s POVThe house was finally quiet.Charlotte had fallen asleep curled against me, her small hand still clutching my sleeve. Charles had lasted longer, trying to stay awake, but he had drifted off not long after.I watched them for a while.Then gently slipped away.I wasn’t tired. I moved to the table and picked up a blank sheet.Then I started drawing.Lines forming before I could think. Symbols layering over each other. A new array, different from anything I had done before.What had started as a thank-you gift for the Ghost Doctor changed shape under my hand. Something from my conversation with Lambert’s mother, something from Charlotte’s promise to train with me, all slipped into the design. New ideas kept coming. One after another.Maybe pain really did strip things bare and left only what mattered.I didn’t know how much time passed before I finally paused, flexing my stiff fingers.The room was still quiet. I turned my head and saw that both children had woken at some poin
