Chapter 135: The pup is yours

(Aria’s POV)

After more than ten days apart, seeing Alexander again at the Silver Moon Grand Hotel felt surreal. He appeared noticeably thinner than before, his face bearing the subtle marks of someone who had endured

serious trauma.

The warehouse incident had clearly taken its toll on him, despite his Alpha healing abilities.

Alexander approached me quickly, his amber eyes automatically shifting to the private room behind me with obvious curiosity.

“Are you dining with friends?” he asked, his voice carrying that familiar Alpha authority despite his weakened

appearance.

“It’s a company celebration gathering,” I confirmed, keeping my tone neutral. “We successfully completed our first major project.”

He nodded with understanding. “I’m here for Storm Pack business associates. Similar reason, actually.”

An awkward silence fell between us like a heavy curtain. Neither of us seemed to know what to say next.

Our severed mate bond created an uncomfortable distance that hadn’t existed during our years together. The familiar connection that once made conversation effortless was completely gone.

I shifted my weight nervously, acutely aware of the strange tension filling the space between us.

Breaking the uncomfortable silence, Alexander’s gaze dropped to my feet with genuine concern.

“How’s your ankle injury?” he asked, his Alpha protective instincts showing through despite our complicated

situation.

“It healed long ago,” I replied, grateful for the neutral topic. “My wolf’s natural regeneration took care of it

quickly.”

I felt compelled to reciprocate his concern, despite everything that had happened between us.

“What about your back wound? The silver dagger looked quite serious.”

Alexander’s face immediately lit up with an unusually bright smile when I showed interest in his condition. His wolf was clearly responding to my attention with pathetic eagerness.

“Fully recovered,” he confirmed, his voice warming considerably. “Alpha healing works wonders, even with

silver wounds.”

Just as I prepared to excuse myself and return to my company celebration, Alexander suddenly stepped

closer with desperate urgency.

“Aria, wait,” he interrupted, his voice carrying a pleading quality I’d never heard before.

“I need to say something important.”

I paused reluctantly, though every instinct told me to flee this conversation.

Alexander’s Alpha pride was clearly shattered as he practically begged, his usual commanding presence replaced by vulnerability.

“I know I wronged you terribly during our mating,” he began, his voice thick with emotion. “I hurt you in ways I can never fully repair or take back.”

His amber eyes burned with intensity as he continued.

“But I’m asking for a chance to pursue you again. A real chance to court you properly this time.”

I stared at him in complete disbelief. Had the warehouse trauma affected his mental state?

“Alexander, what are you saying?” I managed to stammer.

He pressed forward with his desperate proposal, ignoring my obvious shock.

“About your pregnancy,” he said, his voice growing stronger with determination. “I don’t care who the biological father is.”

My jaw dropped at his audacity.

“I have fertility issues and likely can’t have pups of my own,” he continued rapidly. “My wolf condition has weakened significantly over the years.”

Alexander stepped even closer, his scent hitting my sensitive nose.

“We could start fresh. I would raise the pup as my own heir to the Storm Pack. No questions asked, no judgments.”

I opened my mouth to firmly reject his insane proposal, but before I could speak, a deep, cold voice cut through the air like a blade.

“No!”

Dominic approached us with measured, predatory steps. His powerful Alpha presence immediately filled the entire space around us.

The temperature seemed to drop several degrees as his silver–gray eyes flashed dangerously.

Alexander’s face hardened as he turned to face the interruption.

“This is a private conversation between Aria and me,” Alexander said sharply. “What business is it of yours?”

Dominic let out an icy laugh that sent chills down my spine. His voice was sharp as winter air when he responded.

“You’re targeting my pup, and you ask what business it is of mine?”

Alexander’s expression filled with confusion and anger.

“It’s Aria’s pup,” he argued stubbornly.

But Dominic completely ignored his protests. His eyes flashed with dangerous intensity as he grasped my hand with firm Alpha authority.

“Come with me,” he commanded, leading me toward a nearby private room.

Alexander attempted to physically intervene, reaching for my other arm. But Dominic effortlessly grabbed Alexander’s wrist and twisted it with his superior Alpha strength.

Alexander stumbled backward, grimacing in pain from Dominic’s iron grip.

Before Alexander could recover and respond, Dominic pulled me through the doorway. The door slammed

shut behind us with a loud, final bang.

I looked around the unfamiliar room with confusion, my wolf stirring uneasily within me.

“This isn’t the right room,” I said, trying to explain. “My reserved room for the company celebration is in the

Startled by his approach and the overwhelming intensity of his Alpha scent, I instinctively backed away. My spine hit the door with a soft thump.

I felt increasingly nervous as heat radiated from his body. My pregnant wolf whimpered anxiously within me.

“But I can’t stand watching other Alphas make moves on you,” Dominic continued, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper.

His words triggered memories of those school corridor photos. Inexplicable bitterness filled my chest as I imagined his feelings during my ten–year pursuit of Alexander.

He had watched from the sidelines while his wolf yearned for its mate, powerless to intervene.

Dominic’s voice dropped to a husky whisper that made my skin tingle.

“I need to help you remember something important.”

Before I could process his meaning, his silver–gray eyes turned dark as storm clouds.

Sensing immediate danger from his Alpha intensity, I instinctively tried to turn my face away. But he hooked

My mind went completely blank with shock. I tried to push against his broad chest, but his strength was overwhelming.
