How dare you treat her as your servant?" he seethed, his voice filled with rage. I could only imagine the pain he would endure because of me."That's her place, she's a servant, because my dad, Alpha Kingsley bought her." he suddenly said as I turned to look at him in awe."What do you mean your father bought her?" Orion demanded, striding towards Ethan with fury in his eyes."Don't you know she's mine?" he growled, his voice dripping with anger."You still call this bitch your mate?" Ethan sneered, a smirk playing on his lips."Then what's your mate doing in you
Chapter NineteenAria's Pov"Was he being serious?" my wolf asked as I shrugged."He's sending us to our doom," she added.

I'll be making her my Luna if the bond isn't broken," he repeated, a smirk playing on his lips as the Mina stood up."I wish Philia was here, she was far better than this low life" she suddenly said, and the look on Orion changed."Don't mention her name again," he said, and Mina just gave him a stare. "You aren't the only one pained by her death, I am too. She was carrying my grandchild.""That's enough," he yelled at her, and she immediately burst into tears."I wish she was here, oh my poor Phil

No one will come to save you, not even Orion, because this doesn't affect him," she said with a smirk."How dare you?" I asked, not able to control my anger as I ran towards her and pulled her hair."What did I do to you? How dare you pour that on me?" I asked, not knowing what it was, but still feeling the sting."Let me go!" she yelled in anger, struggling with me."I won't," I said, holding tight to her hair. "I won't let you go, bitch," I said angrily as the maids rushed in.I was now ready for a fight as they pulled her from me."I'll deal with you," she said and without warning, I lunged forward, grabbing a handful of her hair again, while yanking her head back as she screamed in anger and tried to break free, but I held her tight.Suddenly, we heard a loud crash as the servants rushed in to separate us. They pulled us apart, and I could feel the anger radiati

I looked around the storage room where I had been sleeping.~~~~~~After I apologized to Glamour yesterday, returning to the elegant room, I discovered that my pictures on the wall had been replaced by that of a beautiful lady I hadn't seen before. I was still lost in confusion when Megan entered the room, clearly angry."What are you doing here?" This was the first time she had spoken to me directly."What do you mean? This is my room," I replied, still surprised by how quickly the room had changed."Your room? Look, since you arrived, all you've caused is trouble. How did you get access to this room?" She looked around frantically as I gave her a confused look."No one, apart from Orion, has set foot in this room for two years.""Find a better lie.""I swear, I didn't come here on my own. He brought me here, and my pictures were all over the wall," I explained h
Chapter Twenty-TwoAria's POV"What was that for?" he asked, pulling me into the building, taken aback by my sudden display of affection."What is the meaning of this?" he demanded, his voice firm as I maintained a coy smile, my heart pounding with a mix of nerves and excitement."Surprise, my Alpha. I just couldn't resist seeing you," I said as some workers passed, whispering among themselves."Look," he tried to say, but his assistant walked out."Hi," I said to her, stretching my hand for a handshake."It's nice meeting you again.""Same..." she said, drawing her words, her eyes fixated on my outfit."Oh, here," I said, handing her a bag with the salad."I made salad. You can share it among yourselves," I said as she nodded and walked into the room with them."What are you doing here?" he asked again, trying hard not to shout."And dressed like this?""I just thought you were hungry and...""And what? Gosh, what has come over you? And why will you introduce yourself as my mate?" he
Chapter Twenty-three Aria's Pov "Oh no," I whimpered in fear as he marched towards me, who would be calling me at this critical moment."Give it to me," he said, stretching out his hands as I recoiled in fear.I had hoped to call Clayton for help, but what do I do now?"Please, I'm sorry," I begged as he just stared at me with a straight face."You should be grateful for the bond we share and that I am giving you a house arrest. We both know what you deserve," he spat."Believe me, it wasn't intentional," I pleaded, trying to make him see reason with me."You tried to kill my workers and me, and you want me to believe that it wasn't intentional?""Can you hear yourself?""Who are you?" he suddenly asked, as if something has just clicked in his memory."Are you trying to bring me down? Let me tell you, it won't work because I'm immortal," he said in anger."I will never try to kill you, my Alpha. It was just a gesture of appreciation," I pleaded."You mean trying to poison me is a ges
Chapter Twenty-fourAria's pov"Mate?" he called out, and I froze in horror."Mate?" he called again, but I had already ended the call, not wanting Joy to know how rude he was."How did you get her number? huh? Tell me," he pleaded, tears streaming down his face."Tell me," he said again, shaking me violently."Let me go, you're hurting me," I managed to say, trembling with fear."Where did you get my mate's number from? Who gave it to you?" he asked, releasing his grip on me."That isn't Phila, that's just my friend Joy I was speaking with," I said, fear coursing through me. I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking because if it was, then I was in a mess."I'm sorry, I must have overreacted," he said, getting up and trying to maintain a composed expression. I felt the urge to hug him and tell him that everything was okay."I'm sorry if I hurt you," he apologized again, and I stared at him in awe.

Chapter Twenty-fiveAria's Pov"How are you still alive?" he asked, leaving me in awe."What are you talking about? Do I know you?" I questioned, my gaze fixed on him as Colton held me."Shhh," he hushed, placing his hands gently over my lips."Phila?" The man called again, and I couldn't help but let out a small laugh."What's going on? Is everyone losing their minds now?" I asked, feeling utterly confused."She's not Phila, she's Aria, my mate," Colton declared."You mean your brother's mate?" the man asked, his voice tinged with curiosity."Hi, dear. Sorry, I must have startled you," He said, extending his hand for a handshake."Oh, yes, you did startle me," I replied, taking his hand as he gave me a puzzled look."Sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else," he apologized, and I nodded in understanding."Where are you taking her?" the man suddenly asked as we turned to leave."Away from here," Colton said, his tone filled with respect."I can't sit and watch any of you harm m
