Aria’s POVI called in Piper to go over my findings. Together, she and a few other Healers that I trusted from the hospital reviewed all the work that Lucian and I had did.I wanted everything peer-reviewed, cross-checked and checked again, before I risked administering the cure to Cathy.While the
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
A FEW DAYS LATER.[Aria Pushing Sheila – Experts Agree, Not Proper Decorum For A Luna!!!]The ironic headline stung my eyes. Tossing the newspaper aside, I left the living room and walked into the kitchen to make myself more coffee. It was definitely a two-cup kind of day.All of the newspapers were
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

Aria’s POVLucian might not have gone to medical school, but he was intelligent and a fast learner. And above all, to my surprise, he took direction well.Together, we started early and worked long until the evening. While I ran the tests, Lucian took notes. If I asked, he would grab me things, or k
Aria’s POVI expected some pushback at the hospital, given the revelation. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but I imagined it would be something. Though the Healers had been generally accepting of me since my return to the pack, I could still remember the times in the past when they had dislik
Lucian’s POVI had no idea how some of these nobles received permission to be in this room for this revelation, but at this point, I was beyond caring about logistics. The facts were, they were here and they were giving Aria grief. That was more than enough reason for him to, not just lose his tempe
Lucian’s POV“No,” I said quickly. “I couldn’t be.”Early in our marriage, Aria and I had tried rather enthusiastically to have children, but we never managed to succeed in getting Aria pregnant. Eventually, I came to the realization that we couldn’t get pregnant, for one reason or another.Likely,
Aria’s POVI waited until I was back at Cathy’s at the end of the day to pick up her phone and call Jasper. Of all people I knew with the connections I needed, he was the one I could most depend on. Silas was still in Moonglow, too far away to help me, and I wasn’t ready to face Lucian again so soon
“You should have went with her to Moonglow,” I insisted.“She would have refused me,” he said. “She’d already rejected me.”“But those kids needed you –”“They need their father,” Jasper said. “Their real one.”His words hit me hard, and I finally realized what he was trying to say. “You aren’t the
Lucian’s POVI stormed into the Alpha headquarters building, looking for Jasper, ready to go to war. With my hands curled into fists, I thought I might start throwing punches before I would even be able to speak.My wolf was even angrier, prowling back and forth in my mind, scratching at my consciou
Lucian’s POVAs Aria checked to ensure that her disguise was in place, I stepped out of her personal office and back into the main one. The kids, by now, were showing each other their crayon drawings, while Cathy sat patiently in one of the waiting chairs.Cathy was watching me. Maybe she could see
