Aira’s POV

I locked myself in my room.

My mind kept replaying what I had done in front of Ezekiel. Every movement, every word, every hesitation—I knew he would wonder about it. I knew he would ask. And yet, I had no real excuse to give him. I didn’t even want to lie—not when he had been nothing but patient with me.

But what else could I do?

A soft knock echoed against my door, pulling me from my spiraling thoughts.

“Aira, I know you’re in there.” His voice was gentle but firm, leaving no room for me to ignore him. There was something in the way he spoke that made my stomach tighten. He wasn’t just asking—he was expecting a response. I knew he wouldn’t leave until I answered.

“Please, let’s talk. I want to know what’s going on. I want to know what’s wrong with you.”

I squeezed my eyes shut, not out of irritation, but because my heart was pounding too fast, too hard. A dull ache settled in my chest, and my fingers curled into my palms.

Why did he always have this effect on me?

    Aira’s POVThe next day arrived, and I kept myself busy, pushing aside my thoughts about Alexander. I was planning to talk to him last night, but then I had to prepare myself. I’m still overthinking the possibilities.However, I refused to dwell on them. It was easier that way. Ezekiel wasn’t here today, and honestly, I didn’t expect him to return anytime soon. However, he had left strict orders with the guards before leaving.I overheard their conversation from my window.“Alpha Ezekiel wants us to tighten our patrols. No trespassers are allowed. There have been reports of enemies reaching the island, and they’re still being tracked down,” one of the guards said in a firm tone.“Understood,” another responded.I glanced outside, watching as the guards dispersed, their movements swift and coordinated. These were Ezekiel’s men, assigned to guard the mansion and secure the entire island.Despite my efforts to stay occupied, my mind betrayed me. Memories of how we ended up here resurfac

    Aira’s POVIt was late at night when Alexander finally arrived. I didn’t know how to react as I watched him from my window, my heart pounding in my chest. He was here—finally here. I crouched down slightly, peeking through the window’s lower edge, watching as he stood outside. “I’m coming up,” he said, his voice hushed.I didn’t respond. I just stood there, staring at him, my thoughts in turmoil. Part of me wanted to rush to him, to hold him, to let him know how much I had missed him. But another part of me—the rational part—warned me to stay put. To not let my emotions get the best of me.As he began to climb up, I instinctively glanced toward the guards stationed nearby. My pulse quickened. If they saw him it would all be over. I swallowed hard, my hands clenching at the fabric of my dress.The moment Alexander reached the window, I quickly grabbed his hand, helping him inside. He was heavier than I anticipated, and as he landed on the floor with a soft thud, he let out a quiet gru

    Aira’s POVI was stunned when I saw the glistening tears welling up in his eyes.This is the first time he had ever cried, and seeing him like this, utterly devastated, made my chest tighten."Aira, you can't do this to me…."I froze. My resolve, which I had spent hours building, was starting to crumble. I had rehearsed what I was going to say, planned every detail, convinced myself that this was the best decision for a peaceful life. But now, seeing him so broken, so desperate—I wasn't sure I could go through with it.Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door shattered the tense silence."Ms. Aira? Are you in there? Is someone with you?" a voice called out from the other side.My eyes widened in panic. Without thinking, I grabbed Alexander and motioned for him to hide. He hesitated, his anguish still evident on his face, but he obeyed, slipping under my bed just as I turned toward the door.I took a deep breath, steeling myself before unlocking and opening it, making sure to block the view

    Alexander’s POVI am losing my mind. Completely.My patience is hanging by a thread, and my sanity is slipping, but I refuse to give up on Aira. No matter what she says, no matter how much she pushes me away, I won’t walk away from her."I promise you, I’m not the same as before," I say, my voice thick with emotion. "Please, Aira… look at me."But she doesn’t.Her back remains turned to me, her posture stiff, her silence heavy. It’s like she can’t bear to see me in this state—as if looking at me would be too much. And honestly? I don’t blame her.I probably look pathetic right now.I don’t do this. I don’t beg. I don’t break. I don’t stand before someone, completely raw and exposed. But with her? Everything is different. She makes me do things I never thought I was capable of.I take a deep breath, shutting my eyes for a moment. I need to hold myself together. I don’t want her to think I’m trying to manipulate her. That’s the last thing I want. My intentions are real, and she needs to

    Aira’s POVAs soon as I heard Alexander’s words—all those affectionate declarations—I didn’t even realize I had started crying. But it wasn’t out of pain. No, far from it.It felt surreal, like I was trapped in a dream, struggling to believe that this moment was real. Was this really happening?Slowly, I turned to face him completely, my breath catching in my throat. My teeth instinctively bit down on my lower lip, trying to steady my emotions. Then, as if drawn by an unseen force, I knelt before him.For a long, silent moment, our gazes locked."What do you say?" he finally asked, his voice filled with anticipation.His patience, his gentleness—it only made my chest tighten with warmth. A smile crept onto my lips as I slowly nodded."Alright," I whispered. "I agree."His eyes widened, disbelief flickering in them for a brief second before pure joy overtook his expression."Really?" he breathed out, his voice laced with excitement."Yes," I affirmed, though I quickly added, "but we’ll

    Aira’s POV"Ms. Aira, your food is here."A sudden knock on the door startled us out of each other’s embrace, nearly making me jump out of bed.My eyes immediately darted toward Alexander, and he quickly understood what needed to be done.Without a word, he swiftly slid under the bed, hiding from view just as he had done before. I took a deep breath, making sure my expression was calm before walking over to the door. As soon as I opened it, a servant stood outside, holding a tray of food."Thank you," I said, accepting the tray.Once I had it in my hands, I quickly shut the door and turned back to search for Alexander. My gaze met his the moment he peeked out from beneath the bed."You can come out now," I said softly. "Let’s eat."Without hesitation, Alexander crawled out and approached me with a small smile."Come on," he said, picking up a spoonful of food. "Let me feed you."Before I could protest, he gently brought the spoon to my lips, waiting for me to take a bite. My face inst

    Ezekiel’s POV"Aira, where are you? I’m back." My voice echoed through the vast halls of the mansion as I searched for her relentlessly. My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of anticipation and urgency filling my veins. There was something important I needed to tell her—something that would change everything.I had just returned from my business trip, the one I had been handling for days. But the moment I stepped foot inside the mansion, nothing else mattered except finding her. My eyes darted around, scanning every corner as I moved in circles, desperate to catch a glimpse of her.And then, I saw her.My breath hitched. There was something different about Aira—something almost ethereal. She was glowing, radiating a kind of happiness I had never seen before. A lump formed in my throat as I stepped closer, my eyes slowly trailing down to her body, then to mine.Did this mean…?Her eyes locked onto mine, filled with the same realization. "Ezekiel, does this mean… we're human now?" Her v

    Aira’s POV“Ms. Aira, Alpha Ezekiel is home.”I immediately closed the book I was reading, my heart skipping a beat. For a moment, panic fluttered in my chest. Ezekiel had been gone for days, and the thought of facing him made my nerves prickle. It didn’t help that the memory of my last encounter with Alexander lingered. He had given me a necklace, a beautiful yet dangerous gift I now kept hidden away like a guilty secret. The thought of Ezekiel discovering it made my hands tremble.“Where is he?” I asked, rising from my seat.Before the servant could respond, the doors swung open, and Ezekiel walked in. The air seemed to shift, heavy and commanding, as he strode inside.“Alpha Ezekiel, you have returned safely,” the servants greeted him, rushing forward to take the bags he carried. I took a tentative step closer, forcing a smile onto my lips.“How are you?”But my gaze caught on something unexpected—he was holding a bouquet of light pink roses. My eyes narrowed suspiciously.

    Aira’s POVI watched Ezekiel quietly as he rested, recovering from the healer’s treatments over the past few days. His face was still pale, and the faint traces of pain lingered, but he looked better than before. I felt a mix of relief and worry as I observed him in silence.He had fallen asleep before the healer came back. He had regular check-ups to make sure his wounds were healing properly. My eyes stayed on him, but for some reason, a heavy feeling weighed down on me as I stared at his still form. The healer stood up and turned to me, giving me a reassuring glance.“His condition looks good now,” she said. “Just call me if the pain worsens or if the ointment doesn’t work.”“Thank you, always, for your help,” I replied to her. She nodded and left without a word.Once she was gone, I sat by the edge of his bed, unable to take my eyes off him. All I could do now was wait for him to wake up. But it wasn’t long before I felt my eyelids growing heavy. I could barely keep them open.“I

    Aira’s POVI turned my back on him; however, he shouted.“Aira, no!” Alexander’s desperate voice broke through the chaos. I winced as his hold tightened, the intensity in his eyes begging me to listen.Then, to my shock, he fell to his knees.“Please, you need to believe me!” he yelled. “Aira, we were finally getting somewhere—why is everything falling apart now?” His voice cracked. Panic was etched into his face.But I was done listening. Fury clouded my thoughts, drowning out reason. I yanked my wrist free, “Get lost!” I shouted, my voice trembling from the rage surging through me.I turned to Ezekiel, ignoring Alexander’s broken expression as I reached out to help him. Ezekiel grunted, wiping a trickle of blood from his lip.“I don’t ever want to see you again,” I spat, my words aimed at Alexander like daggers. My pulse raced as I watched his expression crumble.Alexander’s eyes widened, disbelief washing over his face. For a moment, he was utterly still, the weight of my rejectio

    Aira’s POV‘Aira…help!’I jolted awake, my heart racing. My breathing was ragged as I struggled to shake off the remnants of sleep. Blinking rapidly, I realized I had fallen asleep on one side of the couch in the mansion’s living room. I quickly sat up, rubbing my face, and turned to look at the clock. It was already late at night.Ezekiel.A sudden wave of unease washed over me. I glanced around, searching for him, but he was nowhere in sight.“E-Ezekiel? Are you here?” My voice came out shaky as I pushed myself up.I moved carefully, my hands instinctively cradling my lower abdomen. I had to be extra careful for the baby. Taking a deep breath, I turned on the lights.The moment the room illuminated, my breath caught in my throat. My eyes widened in horror.Drag marks.Dark, disturbing stains smeared across the living room floor, forming a trail that led deeper into the mansion. My stomach twisted painfully.“What the hell is this?” I whispered to myself, my heartbeat hammering again

    Ezekiel’s POVI wasn’t surprised when I woke up and found myself in a dark, damp underground garage. The air was thick with the scent of oil and rust, and the cold concrete beneath me. And then I felt it—a sharp blade pressed against my throat.My breath hitched for a brief second, but I quickly regained my composure. My life hung in the balance, teetering on the edge of that very blade. Yet, I refused to show fear.The wielder of the weapon? None other than him.“Alexander,” I muttered, my voice steady despite the lethal situation. Our gazes locked.His expression was cold, his eyes brimming with restrained fury. But me? I smirked. I refused to let him see me waver.“What brings you here, huh?” I taunted, my voice dripping with amusement. “I knew I caught a familiar scent while I was resting. Let me guess—after Aira and I fell asleep, you made sure to drag me here, down to this underground pit, away from her eyes.” My smirk widened. “You didn’t want her to see what you’re up to, d

    Ezekiel’s POV“Where is Aira now?” I asked the moment I returned to the mansion."She's upstairs, Alpha Ezekiel, in her room. Just reading her book," the maid replied respectfully."Does she ever leave? Has she disobeyed me?" My voice was firm, searching for any sign of defiance.The maid quickly shook her head. "No, Alpha. She never tries to escape. Ever since the security around the mansion tightened, she hasn't stepped outside. She stays in her room most of the time. When she does move around, it's only within the mansion—often visiting the nursery and the study room."I nodded, absorbing the information. Good. At least she was staying within bounds.Without another word, I ascended the stairs to the third floor, where Aira’s room was located—the place I always left her. My fingers curled tightly around the small velvet box in my hand. Inside it was a necklace—a gift for her. Whatever her reaction would be, it didn’t matter. I had already decided.Standing before her door, I knocke

    Amelia’s POV“I need to leave. There is something I needed to take care of.”I didn’t wait for Alexander’s response, nor did I need his permission. I turned my back on him and walked away without a second thought.Something about him felt off. I had a nagging feeling that Alexander was lying to me. But if he was lying, he wouldn’t get away with it. I knew him too well. I had spent enough time by his side to recognize when he was hiding something.So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.I had been watching her closely, waiting for a moment when she’d let her guard down. And that’s when I caught her.I overheard her speaking in hushed tones, her voice laced with urgency."I need to go to the pirates," Cassandra said.I edged closer, careful not to make a sound. My breath hitched as I strained to hear every word."Tell me, who were the people that came from the pirates?" she demanded.A maid stood before her, shifting uncomfortably. She looked nervous, her hands fidgeting with

    Aira’s POV“Aira, are you okay?”I looked up to see Ezekiel standing in front of me, concern etched deep into his eyes. "Yes, I’m fine. Don’t worry too much about me. You should’ve taken care of your own business instead of coming back."He shook his head firmly. "I’ll stay here tonight. I want to make sure you’re okay before I leave tomorrow. You need to be careful." He reached out and cupped my cheek, the warmth of his palm grounding me. But despite his gentle touch, my thoughts drifted to Alexander.True to his word, Ezekiel stayed the night. I appreciated his presence, even if it made my heart feel heavy. By the time morning came, he finally left, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt gnawing at me. I barely had time to gather my thoughts before Alexander returned. My cheeks burned as I invited him upstairs. I couldn’t hide my embarrassment, but Alexander just smiled, his eyes softening as he looked at me.“I wanted to surprise you first,” he said, taking my hand. Before I cou

    Aira’s POV“Ms. Aira! Ms. Aira! What happened to you?!”My eyes fluttered open, and dizziness hit me hard. The world spun around me. Panic bubbled up in my chest. "W-What's going on?" I managed to ask, my voice weak and trembling.“Oh! You’re finally awake!” a maid exclaimed, her face etched with relief. “We’ve been trying to wake you for a while now, Ms. Aira. Hold on!”She quickly called out, her voice urgent. “Help me get her to the bed!”A group of maids and guards rushed over. Those who couldn’t lift me still tried to help, supporting me as they carefully eased me onto the bed. My head throbbed, and my muscles ached as if I’d been running for days without rest. I sank into the soft mattress, trying to calm my racing heart.One of the guards, his face stern and serious, barked an order. “Call for a healer. Now!”A maid immediately rushed out of the room, her footsteps fading as she ran down the hall. I lay there, dazed and confused, my thoughts muddled. Why did my body feel so wea

    Aira’s POVI had no choice but to accept my situation. Locked in this room, I couldn't go out anymore. Deep down, I knew it had something to do with the necklace. It was the only thing that made sense. Ezekiel must have picked up Alexander’s scent from it—after all, he’s an Alpha with heightened senses.A frustrated sigh escaped my lips as I tried to calm myself. There was no point in panicking. I needed a distraction—anything to get my mind off this mess. So, I made my way to the nursery room in the mansion. The workers were busy, expanding the room and making it more suitable for a baby.“How’s the arrangement going?”One of the workers looked up, surprise flashing across his face. “Oh, Ms. Aira, it’s you. We’re almost done.”I nodded, watching as they painted the walls a soft, calming shade of blue. The faint scent of fresh paint hung in the air, and I wrinkled my nose. The nursery was filled with baby supplies—clothes, toys, and tiny furniture. To keep myself from going crazy wi
