Alpha's Regret, Begging My Convict Luna Back novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Nathan’s POV

He held my gaze. Was he trying to be brave? Or stupid?

My wolf leaned forward, testing him.

Peter sneered “You came after me so aggressively, Alpha Nathan. Was it just to force Aria back to your

side?”

He didn’t dodge, he didn’t cower

He called her by her name like he had any right to do so.

The room froze.

The temperature dropped with my mood. Even the air tasted sharp and metallic.

A chilling aura seeped from me, but Peter didn’t flinch.

Collins, though, looked like he might pass out on the spot.

He must probably be having some panick thoughts:

Wondering if Peter had a death wish.

I thought he came here to plead with me.

Instead, the idiot was challenging me head-on.

I let the silence stretch until even the walls seemed to tremble under it.

Then my voice sliced through the air, cold and lethal.

“Peter, Aria is my wife and to you, she is Luna Aria, don’t you ever fail to address her as that next time. What exactly are your intentions, hiding her away?”

The slight lift at the end of the sentence wasn’t an accident. It was a threat.

But Peter still didn’t back down.

“Luna Aria should’ve already delivered the divorce papers. To the best of my knowledge, she doesn’t want to stay married to you anymore”

And with that, the room didn’t just turn cold, It became a frozen wasteland.

My wolf bared his teeth, and deep inside my chest, something dark and possessive uncoiled.

My eyes narrowed on Peter, sharp as a predator locking onto prey. My wolf prowled beneath my skin, hackles lifting, scenting his confidence like it was a challenge.

“So what?” I said, my voice low and cold. “She wants a divorce, and that makes you happy? You have feelings for her?”

He didn’t answer, he didn’t need to.

His silence stank of truth.

A bitter laugh tore from my throat. I leaned back, staring him down with all the disdain I felt burning in my chest.

“I’m not signing that agreement,” I said flatly. “And as long as I don’t, she’s still my wife.”

My wolf snarled possessively at the word wife.

“I can’t believe Aria-of all people-“I scoffed, “a convict who stole someone else’s work-can still attract

men like you.”

Sarcasm dripped from my tongue like poison.

“And to think, I gave you a job. Turns out I was feeding a snake.”

Whatever expression had been on my face before vanished.

What remained was ice. Pure, hard fury.

Peter’s brows pulled together. He clenched his fists, but his voice stayed maddeningly calm. “Luna Aria is someone worth admiring.”

My palm slammed onto the desk with a crack, vibrating through the room.

My wolf surged forward, its teeth bared.

“‘Worth admiring, huh? Aria?” I growled. “Peter, you really have the nerve to fall for my wife.”

My palm stayed pressed to the table as my body tensed, every instinct screaming to leap across and

tear his throat out.

He lowered his lashes, silent again.

And that, his calm silence, only fueled my anger.

Then something clicked.

Aria had no friends in Asterfell.

The only person she’d kept in touch with over the years was probably Peter.

So how did she end up with a child?

My thoughts froze.

My eyes sharpened on him.

I didn’t realize my fingers were trembling until I felt the wood under my nails

“Whose child is it? I growled

The question had lived under my tongue far too long.

Peter didn’t answer, not directly.

Instead, his eyes softened with something unmistakable, a glimmer of… pride?

He smiled, faint but confident. “Alpha Nathan, you’ve already done your digging. Luna Aria wouldn’t have
