Aria's POV“...10,000,000 dollars! Going once! Going twice! The queen's necklace, sold, to Alpha King Lucian himself. Congratulations!”When they announced that, everyone's disbelieving and shocked gazes turned toward me — his neglected Luna.My heart started to race. In reality, I couldn’t believe
While I hesitated to apologize, Sheila curled herself more firmly against Lucian’s chest and whimpered,“I have no idea why she would hate me so much. Is it because I’m your ex-fated mate, Lucian? Doesn’t she understand that I’m now just a pitiful, lonely woman after the divorce…?”Lucian rubbed his

Lucian’s shock lasted only a moment. When he recovered, anger darkened his face.“No.”“We will not divorce.”“What is the matter with you? What have you been thinking about lately? Stop these childish efforts for attention.”I’ve never heard him speak so quickly, but how could he be frantic for me,
Aria's POVI stood at the door of my best friend Cathy’s place, talking with the lawyer outside.“King Lucian refused to sign the paperwork. As we suspected, he doesn’t seem to intend to make this an easy proceeding,” the lawyer said.“I suppose not,” I agreed with a sigh.I knew Lucian could be pro
Sheila laughed. “What are you talking about, Lucian? Aria is just a simple housewife. She could never be compared to such a revered and wonderful Healer as Dr. A.”Lucian’s jaw clenched.I stood frozen, unsure how to react. That Lucian had even thought to connect Dr. A and Aria felt like a kind of c
Lucian looked at me with even more respect. “Please, Dr. A. Consider our case again.”Was I really going to consider taking on this case? How could I possibly help the man I love cure the infertility of the woman he actually wanted to be with, just to watch them then have their own children together

Lucian’s POVFor the next few days, I tried to continue on as normal, putting all thoughts of Aria and Dr. A behind me. The two were both gone, so I couldn’t confront them to find out the truth.I had Ben and others in my employ searching for answers, but until they returned to me, I wouldn’t know t
“Leave me, Ben. For now. Please. I will explain things to you later.”Ben seemed surprised by my words, but still nodded with obedience. “Of course, Sir. I will keep the housekeepers away. We will wait for you to exit the room, when you are ready.”Slowly, Ben stepped out into the hallway, closing t
Lucian’s POVStanding inside of Aria’s trashed bedroom, I couldn’t understand what I was seeing. Ben was in the doorway behind me, also looking around.The pictures had been torn from the walls and thrown across the room. The mattress had been overturned. The desk drawers had been yanked out, their
“The colors mean different things,” the florist had told me. “If the person you are giving this to is truly the love of your life, then you want her to know that you don’t only want her romantically. You want her everlasting love as well as her friendship…”The florist was right so I differed to her

Aria’s POV“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you,” I started.“I’m not upset about that,” Cathy replied. “I’m worried about you. I know your feelings for him are all in a jumble. It couldn’t have been easy to hear him say that he has suddenly developed some affection for you now.”It wasn’t, and I still hadn

Lucian’s POVAs confident and proud as Dr. A was in this moment, it would be difficult not to respect her. Looking at her, I felt my already hefty admiration for her grow even more. She was a brave woman, willing to leave everything behind for the sake of her dream of helping people.While I was dis
