AQUAAs I descended down the stairs with slow, graceful steps, I could feel my flowing dress moving behind me. The more I stared at the blue dress, the more grateful I felt toward Kianna for lending me the dress for the night. She said it complemented my blue eyes, and she was right.The soft, flowing navy-blue dress that hugged my waist and cascaded gently down past my knees. The delicate lace on the sleeves added a touch of elegance, while the subtle shimmer of the fabric caught the light with every step I took.When I finally reached the door, I couldn't help but sneak one more look at my appearance at the mirror hanging on the wall. I reached up to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear, feeling the gentle sway of the silver earrings that dangle just above my shoulders. Kianna styled my hair into a sleek bun that swept over my forehead before being pinned at the hair jewel placed on my top of my hair. I felt like a princess. My self-admiration was interrupted by the sound of

AQUAThings got pretty awkward when I got into River's car. My true mate hadn't spoken a word since we left my house, and I had no idea exactly what he could have heard from my discussion with Kianna. However, I stole a glance at him, observing the way his hands gripped the steering wheel a little too tightly, his jaw tense.Oh dear moon goddess.I knew I should have thought of a way to break the silence, but I feared that any word I spoke right now would only make things worse. So in the end, I settled for looking outside the windows and admiring the city night lights. Headlights from passing cars flickered against the rearview mirror, and distant sirens echoed through the streets.Just as I was gathering the courage to speak, River broke the silence first, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “So why did Kianna look so surprised when I told her that I was your true mate?” he asked, his gaze meeting mine briefly before shifting back to the road. “Do you have a boyfrie

AQUAI stepped into the house, instantly overwhelmed by its grandeur. Every polished surface, every carefully chosen piece of decor, exuded an air of wealth and refinement. It was the kind of luxury that made me feel out of place, amplifying the unease already twisting in my stomach.Although River had promised that he wouldn't reveal the fact that we were true mates, I was still worried about how he would explain my sudden presence to them. But he seemed unfazed about the situation as he strode confidently into the dining room. I gazed down at my empty hands, trying not to feel hurt about the fact that he had left me behind. It was to be expected that he would be pissed about the fact that I had practically blackmailed him, but still, I'd hoped that he would remain by my side until we left this place. Guess that was not going to happen, I thought to myself. “Well, if it isn't the only man who gets to keep everyone waiting,” A middle-aged woman stepped out to meet River. I watched

AQUAThe tension in the room kept getting worse with each passing minute, its suffocating silence pressing against my chest like an iron grip. I must have been the only one who sensed it because everyone else was busy eating and chatting with each other like nothing happened a few minutes ago. But there was something still simmering underneath, and I could feel it.Every glance. Every pause before they replied to each other. It was so obvious that one wrong move could quickly ruin this fragile balance. Just when I was coming up with an excuse to leave, I felt River's hand cover mine. Our eyes met after that touch, passing several unspoken messages between each other before we pulled away. And one of them was definitely his plea, telling me to stay. Once dinner was over, River was the first one to leave. He pulled me up as he rose to his feet. At the same time, my eyes landed on Jocelyn, so I murmured a polite thanks towards my hostess. “Thank you so much for the food, Jocelyn. And

GUNNAR"I've already made my choice!" Aqua screamed angrily.Even though I tried to control my emotions, my heart involuntarily skipped a beat when I heard her words. My second chance mate had been standing beside me all this time, yet it seemed like a wall had risen between us. She lied to me and even went on a date with her true mate. At that moment, I had no hope that she would choose me. Perhaps she was simply having a lover's spat with him and wanted to use me to make him jealous.Thinking like that made my heart squeeze in my chest. Although I hadn't been sweet and attentive like River probably was to her, at least my intentions were pure and true. Since the moment she entered my life, my every thought had been consumed by her, longing to cherish and protect her. But is this what I was going to get in return?She was just going to walk away, turning her back on our future? On everything we had up to now?Aqua interlinked our fingers with each other before unmuting the mate bond.
