Chapter 125

Aria’s POV

My laugh vanished like smoke. The warmth in my chest froze into ice. Every hair on my body stood on end. I knew it was Nathan, my soon to be ex-mate, my tormentor. My wolf growled low in my throat, muscles tensing as if ready to pounce.

The car had pulled up earlier; I’d heard it, felt it in the vibrations through the floorboards. And now, this? He was here. At my door.

I didn’t move. My body refused to obey, anchored by fear and furt. My wolf circled, restless, coiled around me like a living shadow.

I didn’t need to see him to know that he was out there, waiting and atching.

So I stayed rooted, and silent.

Nathan’s POV

The air was unnervingly still.

My wolf felt it first, that strange, hollow quiet that clung to the walls like frost.

I frowned. Had she already fallen asleep?

No… her scent said otherwise. She was awake, guarded and hurt.

I exhaled and turned, ready to step away, when a soft click cut through the air.

The door opened and she stood there.

Aria.

Her eyes cold, sharp and lethal as winter steellocked onto mine. The force of them sliced straight through my chest, lodging somewhere deep in the ribs. My wolf flinched, then bristled, wanting to step

closer and retreat all at once.

Those eyes were an accusation.

You did this, you hurt me.

You don’t deserve to stand here.

I swallowed once, twice, then forced my hand forward, my palm open, the velvet box resting inside.

“Take a look,” I managed, my voice rougher than intended.

Her gaze didn’t soften. But the moment she recognized the box, her eyes flickered. There was a small shift, almost invisible, but my wolf caught it instantly.

Still she didn’t reach for it She stared at me like I was a dangerous abd unpredictable, unwanted

intruder

The stab in my chest was immediate. A pang so sharp even my wolf whimpered.

“I’m your husband,” I murmured. The words tasted like ash. “If you want something you don’t have to look anywhere else.”

My wolf surged at the claim but her silence struck it down.

I stepped inside, nudging the door open with my foot. The room was warm but my eyes involuntarily

drifted to the crib.

Lana slept soundly, her small breaths puffing out her cheeks. Her scent was sweet calming and innocence, easing something deep inside me.

For a moment, everything slowed.

The warmth in the room. The quiet rise and fall of the little one’s chest.

It hit me then, how much I’d missed this.

How much I’d ruined it.

I took a step toward the crib, but Aria moved, quick and instinctive. She blocked my path.

Aria’s POV

“Get out.”

The words left my mouth, sharp, clipped, carrying the low growl of my wolf beneath them before I even

processed them.

Nathan froze. For a split second, his breath hitched, and I felt the faint stutter of his heartbeat through

the air.

Then he took one last, lingering look at Lana our pup and quietly stepped out.

I didn’t follow.

I stood there, watching the broad line of his back as he walked out of my door. Even in the dim light, the fine cut of his suit spoke of power, dominance and status.

This was the Nathan I remembered.

The untouchable Alpha heir.

The cold, distant man with a gaze sharp enough to slice through stone.

Yet lately… the edges of that coldness had dulled. The emptiness in his eyes… the way his shoulders sagged when he thought I wasn’t looking….

It confused me. It infuriated me.

And it made my wolf restless.

I stepped outside the door and closed it feeling it settle like a thick barrier between him and our pup.

“Why are you doing this?” I demanded, suspicion coiled tight in my voice.

Nathan slipped his hands into his pockets, his eyes neutral. “It’s just a necklace. You like it. I’m your husband. I got it for you. What’s the big deal?”
