(Aria’s POV)

I looked at Dominic with growing unease, subconsciously clenching my fingers together. A cold dread settled

in my stomach as I feared what he might say next.

My wolf whimpered anxiously within me, sensing my distress.

Dominic’s sharp gaze couldn’t help but fall on my trembling hands, seemingly pausing for a few seconds before slowly withdrawing his attention. His powerful Alpha scent shifted subtly in the confined space of the

SUV

“I just can’t stand Alexander’s self–righteous appearance,” he said finally, his deep voice carefully measured. ‘I wasn’t entirely helping you out.”

My heart inexplicably felt a mixture of relief and disappointment. The relief was immediate and obvious, but the strange sense of loss that followed confused me.

However, before I could properly sort out these conflicting emotions, I heard Dominic speak again. His hands remained steady on the steering wheel of his luxury SUV, knuckles relaxed but alert.

“What are your plans for the future?” he asked quietly.

I pursed my lips, naturally understanding exactly what he was asking. Now that Alexander knew about my

my life. pregnancy, he would inevitably become a persistent problem in

This was precisely why I had insisted on having the termination procedure in the first place. To completely cut all ties with Alexander once and for all.

If there was no pup, there would be no connecting bond between us. No reason for him to pursue me or

demands.

“Then I’ll get a prenatal paternity test,” I said, looking up with newfound determination.

My hand moved instinctively to my belly where my unborn pup was growing, a protective gesture that had become second nature.

“As long as Alexander knows the pup isn’t his, he definitely won’t pester me anymore.”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple,” Dominic shook his head slightly, his Alpha instincts clearly picking up on something I was missing.

“Do you think Alexander will give up just because he knows the pup isn’t his?”

I looked at him with genuine confusion, my wolf stirring restlessly beneath my skin.

“What do you mean?”

Dominic’s distinctly jointed fingers began gently tapping the steering wheel in a rhythmic pattern. A faint smile played on his lips, but his silver–gray eyes gleamed with knowing intelligence.

“What, don’t you believe what I said earlier?”

“I just don’t think Alexander would be that persistent,” I protested.

His complete loss of control today was merely because of this pup. If he discovered the pup wasn’t his, he certainly wouldn’t continue bring so stubbornly possessive.

Dominic’s eyes curved with amusement, but his facial contours appeared sharp and predatory His overwhelming Alpha presence filled the entire vehicle.

“Want to bet?” he asked with casual confidence.

“Bet?” I was genuinely confused. “Bet what exactly?”

“Let’s bet that even if Alexander knows the pup isn’t his, he still won’t give up pursuing you”

The suggestion seemed completely impossible to me. His words stirred my competitive spirit, making my wolf perk up with interest

“Bet what stakes?” I challenged

“Let’s bet on fulfilling one wish for the other party,” Dominic replied smoothly

The prospect of being able to make a wish to Dominic once was actually quite appealing. Given his resources and influence, such an opportunity could prove invaluable.

“Okay,” I agreed without hesitation.

I extended my pinky finger toward Dominic with childlike determination.

“It’s a deal,”

Dominic smiled warmly and hooked his much larger pinky with mine. The contact sent unexpected tingles up

my arm.

“Whoever breaks the promise is a coward,” he declared, his voice deep and magnetic.

After returning to my apartment at Moon Valley Residences, I collapsed onto my bed feeling completely overwhelmed by the day’s chaotic events.

The shocking news of my brother James being brutally beaten at the hospital by David Turner. Claire’s convenient miscarriage that eliminated crucial evidence. Alexander’s discovery of my pregnancy despite my careful attempts to hide it.

All these revelations combined to create a deep sense of emotional and physical fatigue. My wolf whimpered softly within me, clearly stressed by the constant turmoil.

My primary concern, however, remained focused on my brother’s dangerous situation. With both our parents gone, he represented my only remaining blood relative in this world.

I didn’t wish him boundless wealth or pack status. I simply hoped he would stay safe and unharmed. Yet his continued entanglement with Claire only brought him mounting trouble and escalating danger. Powerful figures like David Turner, Richard Reed, and Alexander could easily crush him with their pack influence and superior Alpha strength. He was completely outmatched and vulnerabi

Despite these obvious threats, my brother continued to hide crucial information from me. He remained stubbornly devoted to Claire, leading me to believe he wouldn’t recognize her true manipulative nature until he suffered serious consequences.

Or perhaps until it was too late entirely.

Chapter 115, Elizabeth’s V

Overwhelmed by these dark thoughts, I gradually drifted into restless sleep. My pregnant wolf was thoroughly exhausted from the emotional turmoil and stress.

I was abruptly awakened by the insistent sound of my doorbell. Opening my eyes to complete darkness, I realized several hours had passed and night had fallen while I slept.

As I approached the front door on unsteady legs, I peered through the peephole. The sight that greeted me sent shock waves through my system.

Elizabeth Reed stood outside in the hallway, looking determined and unmistakably purposeful.

I was genuinely confused about how she had discovered where I lived. My frown deepened as I remembered the dramatic events at the hospital earlier today.

It was crystal clear that she was here specifically about my pregnancy.

The doorbell continued to ring with increasing persistence. I decided to remain silent and pretend no one was home, hoping she would eventually give up and leave.

But Elizabeth was clearly more determined than I had anticipated. She began knocking firmly on the wooden

door.

“Aria, I know you’re home,” she called out, her voice carrying the unmistakable authority of a former Luna.

“Please open the door.”

Hearing her address me so familiarly made me deeply uncomfortable. Now that Alexander and I had successfully severed our mate bond, I had absolutely no connection to the Reed family whatsoever. Her continued use of my first name felt presumptuous and inappropriate.

“Aria, please open the door,” she repeated with growing insistence.

“Aria, we need to talk…”

Seeing that she clearly intended to keep knocking until I opened the door, I took a deep breath. My wolf whimpered anxiously, sensing the approaching confrontation.

I reasoned that this uncomfortable situation couldn’t be avoided forever. The issue needed to be addressed directly and conclusively.

Considering how much I absolutely despised speaking with either Alexander or Richard Reed, Elizabeth actually seemed like the most tolerable option among the Reed family members.

With that resigned thought, I reluctantly opened the door.

Upon seeing me, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on Elizabeth’s elegantly aged face. Her amber eyes were warm but calculating, clearly pleased by her successful strategy.

“I knew you’d eventually open the door,” she said with quiet triumph.

As she spoke, her experienced gaze drifted downward to my slightly protruding belly. ne knowing look in her eyes made my skin crawl.

I turned slightly to the side, instinctively avoiding her invasive stare. My hand moved protectively over my

unborn pup.

“If you have something to say, come in and say it,” I said curtly.

Elizabeth entered my modest apartment and Immediately began looking around with obvious curiosity. I couldn’t discern exactly what she was searching for, but her inspection felt invasive

I turned and poured her a glass of water, placing it deliberately on the coffee table before her Then I settled Into the opposite chair and asked directly.
