Chapter 113: Unexpected Encounters and Unraveling Truths

(Aria’s POV)

“Miss Summers, you just canceled…” the hospital receptionist begari.

My heart jumped into my throat. Alexander was standing right there, and I couldn’t let him discover anything about my pregnancy.

“I’m sorry, no need to check, thank you, I interrupted nervously.

The receptionist looked at me in confusion. Alexander’s eyes were boring into me, staring as if trying to peer into my soul.

I could feel his suspicion radiating off him.

“Thank you for your help,” I said quickly to the bewildered receptionist, forcing my face to remain

expressionless despite my racing heart.

Without another word, I turned and walked away.

Before I could take more than a few steps, Alexander caught up to me. His hand shot out and grabbed my

arm.

“What were you checking?” he demanded. “Are you checking on Claire?”

I immediately shook off his hand, sneering at his assumption.

“Why? Can’t I check on her?” I retorted.

Alexander’s lips pressed into a thin line.

“Still claiming you’re not here to watch the show?”

I suddenly smiled coldly.

“Yes, I’m here to watch the show,” I said with deliberate cruelty. “A show like this, I wish I could watch every

day!”

Alexander’s brow furrowed, but he didn’t pursue that topic.

“You said earlier that your mother was killed by Claire,” he said quietly. “What did you mean by that?”

I had no intention of explaining myself to him. I moved to step around him, but Alexander immediately blocked my path.

“Are you also blaming me?” he pressed. “Is that why you severed our mate bond?”

I frowned, confused by his conclusion.

“Get out of the way,” I said coldly, “A good Alpha doesn’t block the road.”

But Alexander remained planted in front of me.

“Since the day I agreed to our mate bond severance, I’ve been wondering what went wrong,” he said urgently.

“What caused me to push you further and further away, no matter what I tried to do?”

His eyes flickered with regret.

“Now I even regret why I gave up on you so easily back then…”

I didn’t want to listen to his lengthy speech.

“Alexander, we already severed our mate bond,” I stated flatly.

“Even with a severed mate bond, we can complete a new marking ceremony,” Alexander said urgently.

His wo His words were so absurd that I laughed bitterly

“Back then, because of Claire, you agreed to sever our mate bond,” I said, my voice rising with indignation.

“Now, again because of her, you want to mark me again. Alexander, in your heart, am I just a plaything you can summon and dismiss at will?”

Maybe it was because I had been too easy to obtain that he had never learned to cherish what w

“No…” Alexander said frantically, reaching out to grasp my hand. “Aria, it’s not like that…”

I instinctively tried to shake off his grip, but Alexander held on too tightly.

“Let go of me!” I demanded.

“I won’t let go,” Alexander said desperately, his eyes wild.

“Aria, will you give me one last chance? I really can’t be without you!”

His grip tightened even more.

“You-”

Just as I opened my mouth to curse him, a tall, imposing figure suddenly enveloped me from behind. Strong hands pushed Alexander away with decisive force, then gently pulled my arm, shielding me protectively.

Dominic.

Alexander’s eyes grew dangerously dark as his gaze first fell on Dominic’s protective grip on my hand, then moved up to lock onto Dominic’s face.

His eyes flashed with cold light, as if he wanted to pounce forward and tear Dominic apart.

People continued to flow through the hospital corridor around us, but the two towering Alpha figures faced each other like immovable mountains

Their eyes met in a clash of undisguised hostility, like drawn blades.

Alexander’s eyes were glacial, the surging violence in his chest making him clench his fists until his knuckles turned white.

“Are you alright?” Dominic asked, completely ignoring Alexander’s threatening presence.

He turned to me with genuine concern, his eyes warm and protective.

“He didn’t bother you, did he?”

I quickly shook my head, still catching my breath.

I noticed passersby beginning to stare in our direction. Some were even holding up their mobile phones,

clearly preparing to record whatever drama might unfold.

“Let’s go,” I said urgently, tugging on Dominic’s hand.

Alexander was currently the center of massive public scandal, and I didn’t want Dominic to be dragged into

this mess.

Dominic nodded immediately. He took my hand firmly and began walking toward the elevator.

I didn’t look back, but I could sense that Alexander’s face must be thunderous behind us

The elevator doors closed, finally separating us from that confrontation.

I immediately pulled my hand out of Dominic’s, feeling heat rise in my cheeks.

“Thanks to you arriving in time,” I said. “Otherwise, what happened just now…”

With the power disparity between an Alpha and a she–wolf, I wouldn’t have been able to break free from Alexander’s iron grip.

“In the future, when I have time, I’ll teach you some self–defense techniques,” Dominic said seriously

“Self–defense techniques?” I couldn’t help but laugh. “Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?”

Dominic’s smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“Not exaggerated at all. I think it’s absolutely necessary.”

Seeing how seriously he was taking this, I had to compromise.

“Alright…”

“Also,” Dominic continued, “Dr. Nathan Lewis just told me that Claire has been rescued and is temporarily cut

of danger…”

His eyebrow raised slightly.

“But the pup is gone…”

I couldn’t help but narrow my eyes.

“Was it intentional?” I asked.

Dominic nodded grimly. “Most likely.”

I pursed my lips, feeling anger rising in my heart. Perhaps because I was pregnant now myself, I felt especially protective of unborn life.
