Carlo’s POVThe night was too quiet. That was never a good sign.Aria and I stayed hidden behind some trees, watching the enemy warriors move around the pack border. They were well-armed, and their movements were sharp and alert. Whoever sent them here knew what they were doing.Aria shifted uncomfortably beside me, her breathing uneven. I could tell she was worried, but she was trying to hide it. It was almost funny how she thought she could hide anything from me.“What now?” she whispered, barely moving her lips.I smirked, looking at the men in front of us. “Now, we distract them.”She turned to me sharply. “What do you mean, distract them? There are too many of them.”“Exactly.” I grinned. “That just makes it more fun.”She looked like she wanted to strangle me. “Carlo—”But I was already moving.I picked up a rock and threw it far away from where we were. The sound it made against the trees was loud enough to get their attention. Just as I expected, a few of them immediately turn

Aria’s POVThe enemy warriors moved fast, their eyes locked on us like wolves hunting prey. My heart pounded as I gripped the small dagger Carlo had given me earlier. It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing.Carlo stood beside me, completely unfazed, as if we weren’t surrounded by enemies. His lips curled into an amused smirk. “This is getting interesting.”I shot him a glare. “How are you still smiling? We’re outnumbered!”He shrugged. “That just makes it more fun.”I didn’t have time to argue because the first warrior lunged at me. I barely dodged, twisting to the side as his blade slashed through the air. I countered, stabbing my dagger forward, but he blocked it easily. Before I could react, he swung again, aiming for my neck.Carlo moved before I could. In a blur, he grabbed the warrior’s wrist and twisted it sharply. The sound of bones snapping made me flinch. The man screamed, but Carlo silenced him with a brutal punch to the jaw.“That’s one down,” Carlo said, grinning.

Aria’s POVMy face was still burning.I paced around my room, biting my lip, trying to stop thinking about what Alexander did.He kissed me. He really kissed me.And worse—I didn’t hate it.I groaned, covering my face with my hands. “Get a grip, Aria. You can’t fall for this again.”I had to remind myself that just because he was acting differently now didn’t mean I should believe him. He had already doubted me once. If I let my guard down and trusted him, what if he turned his back on me again?No. I couldn’t be weak.I took a deep breath, trying to shake off my thoughts, when suddenly—The door burst open.Carlo strolled in without knocking, his damp hair sticking to his forehead. His shirt was missing, and his toned body glistened with sweat.I blinked.“What—what the hell are you doing?” I sputtered.He stretched his arms lazily. “Checking on you.”“Checking on me?” I frowned, crossing my arms. “Why would you do that?”I wouldn't believe he just wanted to check on me for no reason

Aria’s POVThe ropes around my wrists burned against my skin, but I barely noticed the pain anymore. I had been tied up for so long that my hands felt numb. My legs were also bound, making it impossible to move. The dimly lit room smelled damp, like old wood and dust, and the only sound was my own shallow breathing.I didn’t know how long I had been here. Hours? A full day? There was no way to tell.The door creaked open, and I tensed.My kidnapper walked in, a smug expression on his face. He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, as if he had all the time in the world. His presence made my skin crawl, not because he looked dangerous, but because he was too calm—too confident.“They’re looking for you,” he said, his voice filled with amusement. “Running around like idiots, completely blind to what’s right in front of them.”I didn’t react, but inside, my heart pounded. They were searching for me.He walked closer and crouched in front of me. “I almost feel bad for them,” he contin

Aria’s POVI sat on my bed, still shaken by the maid’s warning. My kidnapper had escaped.I had barely processed the information when my door swung open. My heart leaped, but it was only Xeros.His sharp eyes scanned the room as he stepped inside, his presence instantly making me feel a sense of security. He looked tense, his jaw clenched.“You’re not leaving this room,” he said firmly. “It’s not safe.”I frowned. “I don’t need to be locked away like a—”“It’s not up for discussion, Aria.” His voice was serious, leaving no room for argument. “He’s still out there, and we don’t know what he’s planning. I need you to stay put.”I sighed, knowing I wouldn’t win against him.Xeros checked the entire room, moving swiftly as he looked behind furniture, under the bed, and even behind the curtains. He was thorough, making sure no one was hiding.I watched as he finally turned back to me, satisfied. “I’ll be back to check on you,” he assured me. “Don’t open this door for anyone but me or my br
