Olive’s POV He pressed his lips down, invading my mouth with his tongue and completely sealing my words. Aaron then grabbed my head with both of his hands, and he began a long and hard kiss. It was hasty and wild as if he had been enduring the urge to hold me for a long time. I was… shocked. At that moment, I knew I made a promise not to repeat the same mistake. But my body would not listen. And my heart was pounding hard inside my chest. I couldn’t speak. He would not let me. I was too overwhelmed by his scent and at a loss at the sensation of the kiss he was giving. “Hmm…” Our mouths intertwined passionately, creating a fiery sensation. The intensity was overwhelming. Every touch of his lips ignited a spark within me. He kissed me with such fervor as if he wanted to consume my very essence. The scorching heat seemed to seep into every fiber of my being. My body arched in response. He eagerly shifted angles, his strong hand firmly gripping my waist as he devoured my lips.

Olive’s POV The following morning, I found myself awakening to an intense ache coursing through my entire body. It was a level of pain I had never experienced before, surpassing even the days when I had to single-handedly tidy up the cabin. With a groan escaping my lips, I mustered the strength to sit up, only to be met with discomfort in every movement. Every part of me seemed to throb with pain. As I gathered my bearings, I started to survey my surroundings. I found myself inside Aaron’s bedroom, seated on his bed. His bed? It struck me as peculiar because, if my memory serves me right, we were together last night in my own room. As I glanced downwards, I noticed my body, clean and fully clothed, which led me to the realization that Aaron must have carried me to his room while I was unconscious in order to clean me up. “We... did it...,” I whispered, my hands tightly clenched. Despite my best efforts to avoid him and resist the allure of desire, I ultimately succumbed to hi

Olive’s POV “I was the one who hid your mate. And I am the man she fell in love with. That’s me.” When Griffin confessed the truth to Aaron, I felt the world crumbling. The atmosphere became tense, and an insatiable thirst for revenge emanated from Aaron’s gaze. At that moment, my instinct was to intervene and prevent Griffin from further provoking Aaron’s anger. Desperation filled my voice as I cried out, “Griffin! Please!” However, my pleas went unheard as Griffin persisted, unyielding in his confession. “I took her because she had no choice. Olive was destined to be your mate, and the bond between you forced her to choose you.” I was under the impression that Aaron would immediately retaliate, but instead, he simply responded to Griffin by saying, “Everyone knew that Olive had developed feelings for me. You took her away because of your one-sided love. You knew that without her memories lost, Olive would never choose you.” “But she fell in love with me,” Griffin argued. “I d

Griffin’s POV Upon standing in front of my father, I was met with an intense slap that sent me staggering backward. The force of the blow was so powerful that it left me momentarily disoriented. “What were you thinking?” my father shouted, his voice filled with anger and disappointment. I lowered my head, silently listening to his words. “Our ancestor vowed to stay loyal to Aaron’s bloodline! I protected our family by bowing my head under their family! Why do you have to do this? Why did you challenge Aaron for a duel?!” “You don’t have to worry, Father,” I said, wiping the blood that smeared on my lips. I looked at him and said, “I made an additional deal with Lycan Aaron. My sin is my sin alone. My family won’t be punished along with me. And…” But before I could finish my sentence, my father forcefully grabbed my collar and pulled me closer, cutting off my words. “You fool! Do you think I was only worried about our family? I am… also worried about you!” father shouted. My ey

Olive’s POVAaron’s insistence made me feel uneasy about suddenly wearing a wedding dress. However, I reluctantly agreed and put on the stunning white gown. As the serving lady pulled back the curtain, I prepared myself for Aaron’s reaction.His eyes widened at first, but then a gentle smile spread across his face. “You look beautiful in it, my dear wife,” he said.Blushing, I couldn’t meet his gaze and felt the warmth on my cheeks.“It looks great on her, Sir Aaron,” the serving lady remarked. “Although, we’ll have to make some alterations to the dress. It’s a tad too large for her.”“Really?” Aaron responded.I interjected, “Hmm, there’s no need to adjust it for my size. I don’t even plan on...”...wearing it. That’s what I wanted to say. However, Aaron interrupted me and suggested, “Then, let’s change the size. We might find a use for it in the future.”I have to despise the idea of marrying him again, but I couldn’t say anything in response.“I’ll go check the measurements. Could
