LOGINAria's POVThe shock on his face… It was exquisite.For a long, satisfying moment, I simply stood there and watched him.His lips parted, yet no words came out. His grey eyes remained fixed on me, wide with complete disbelief, as though his mind had forgotten how to function.That expression alone made every sleepless night worthwhile.Since the wedding preparations began, I had been anticipating this exact moment. Not because I wanted revenge, not because I wanted to humiliate him, but because I wanted him to understand everything he had forced me to live with.I wanted him to feel, even if only for a few seconds, what it was like to have the ground disappear beneath his feet. To experience the confusion, the betrayal, and the helplessness that came when the one person you trusted most became the one who broke you.As I stood before him, I felt no anger, no hatred, no pain. Only peace—real peace. The kind I hadn't known in years.Around us, the ballroom descended into complete chaos.
Kael’s POVFor a long moment after Elder Marcus made his decision, the ballroom was enveloped by a strange, breathless silence.“So, shall we begin?” the planner asked and the veiled bride inclined her head once.That single movement was enough to set everything into motion. The wedding planner immediately began directing her staff with quiet efficiency.Fresh flowers were brought forward, candles were relit, and a second arrangement of white roses was placed before the altar. It was astonishing how quickly the ballroom transformed, as though this ceremony had always been meant to happen there.Meanwhile, I stood beside Vivienne, unable to tear my eyes away from the mysterious woman.She still had not spoken. Not a single word.The two masked men remained at her sides like shadows. They were tall, broad-shouldered, and perfectly still. Their golden masks reflected the chandelier lights, making them appear almost unreal.Who were they? Why concealed their faces? And why did the bride h
Kael’s POV The wedding day finally arrived. From the moment I woke up, an uncomfortable feeling settled inside my chest. I couldn't explain what exactly, but I knew something wasn't right. Aria was with Vivienne the entire time she was getting ready. Even when the hairstylist accidentally pinned Vivienne's veil crooked, Aria was the one who calmly stepped forward and corrected it herself. She adjusted every fold of the gown with the precision of someone preparing her own sister for marriage. Vivienne wore the finest wedding gown I had ever seen. Layers of ivory silk cascaded to the floor, embroidered with silver threads that shimmered whenever the morning sunlight touched them. A diamond tiara rested elegantly atop her carefully styled hair, and for the first time in years, she looked exactly like the woman I once imagined walking down the aisle with. Yet somehow, I felt nothing. No excitement, no anticipation, just dread. My eyes drifted toward Aria. She stood a short dista
Kael's POV Everything was going well. Or so I thought. The invitations had been sent, the decorations were complete, and Vivienne's wedding gown had arrived. The musicians had been booked, and every single detail had been personally supervised by Aria herself. She had executed everything perfectly and that alone should have made me realize something was off. But instead, I convinced myself that perhaps she had really accepted fate. Perhaps she truly had accepted reality and had simply chosen peace. The morning before the wedding, just as we were finalizing the guest list, my phone rang. I answered immediately. "This is Kael Knight." The voice on the other end sounded panicked. "Mr. Knight, this is the front manager of Mooncrest Grand Hall." A strange feeling settled in my stomach. "Okay. "Is something wrong?" "I'm terribly sorry to call you this late, sir, but we've encountered a very serious problem."I exchanged a quick glance with Vivienne, who immediately noticed the cha
Kael’s POV. That night, after the banquet was over and everyone had gone to their various homes, I couldn’t bring myself to sleep. I kept pacing my room, running my hand through my hair. Every time I tried closing my eyes, I heard her voice again. "You're right. I am planning something. Something that will break you far worse than you ever broke me." I finally sank into a nearby chair, rubbing both hands over my face and staring blankly at the ceiling. Aria. What exactly was she planning? For the first time in my life, I couldn't read her. Three years ago, she had been painfully easy to understand. Whenever she was happy, it reflected in her eyes. Whenever she was hurt, she cried. Whenever I disappointed her, she forgave me. She had always forgiven me. That was the Aria I knew. But the woman I hugged tonight, she smiled while threatening to destroy me. She cried while calmly declaring war. She welcomed Vivienne with open arms after everything that had happened. Nothing about
Aria’s POV “Aria...” he stuttered. Before he could say any more words, I pulled away from him. I faced the crowd, pretending as if nothing had just happened with tears streaming down my eyes. “Everyone,” I continued, my voice trembling with practiced sincerity, “I’m not trying to twist the law. All I want... is for everyone to have a happy ending.” I lowered my eyes. “I only hope the Elders can see things from my perspective.” Silence followed. Every gaze slowly shifted toward Kael as I turned to face him. “My Alpha...” I called softly, his gray eyes meeting mine. “What do you think? Are you in support of my suggestion or against it?” The question hung heavily in the air. Kael didn't answer immediately. His jaw tightened as a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes. If he refused, he would lose everything. And if he accepted, he would be stepping onto a path from which there would be no return. For several agonizing seconds, the entire ballroom waited. Finally, he closed
Aria’s POVHis presence filled the room, heavy and commanding. He stood firm and I could feel his fierce eyes burning into my skin.Before, I would have shivered the moment I heard his voice, and my pulse would have hammered loudly in my ears. But not that night.My shoulders were squared confident
Aria’s POV.I staggered down the stairs, my face pale like someone who life was slowly being drained out of. If I hadn’t heard everything myself... if someone had told me, I wouldn’t have believed Kael could do such a cruel thing.“Luna...” Silas, who was standing at the end of the stairs, called,
Aria's POVThe moment my eyes landed on her, my heart shattered into a million pieces. My knees buckled, but I grabbed the wall for support before I could collapse. It was truly her. Vivienne—the only woman Alpha Kael craved for. When did he find her? I knew he was desperately searching every
Aria’s POV. “Congratulations, Luna Aria. You’re finally going to be a mother!” The doctor’s words hit me like a thunderclap. “What?” the word escaped my lips before I could stop it. “The heir to the Silverfang Pack is growing in your womb. You’re two weeks gone, Aria,” Lea, the pack doctor,
