Andrew’s eyes landed on Narik, and his expression tightened a flicker of annoyance crossing his face.
It was clear that he didn’t like what he saw.
His youngest son had always been a source of frustration for him–a rebel who refused to conform in the expertations of their p
When Andrew’s gaze shifted to me, his frown deepened, and I felt a wave of discomfort wash over me.

His eyes held a mixture of impatience and disdain, as if he was already tired of dealing with the situation before it had even fully unfolded.
“As a Luna,” Andrew began, his tone patronizing, “you have to be tolerant and not follow the Alpha wherever he goes. It’s normal for a man in business to have a few lovers around; don’t be so jealous”
His words felt like a slap in the face, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger and hurt
Was this how he saw me?
As someone who was supposed to just accept whatever came my way, no matter how degrading or painful?
Andrew didn’t wait for my response.
Instead, he turned to Leo, his voice commanding.
“Leo, why don’t you take Aria home first? I handle the situation here.”

His gaze shifted between me. Nar, and Aria, torn between his day to his father and the emotions that were clearly tearing him apart.
That’s when Nanik came up to me, he ignored Andrew’s sinister gaze, just looked at me intently and held out his hand to me, “Come with me, I’ll get you out of here.”
For a moment, I subconsciously wanted to

Narik grunted softly, provocatively. It’s criou that you’re going to give her up yet again, but it? And I never cared for my father’s words. I would stand firm on her. You’re not a good choice of mate for Elizabeth ?
Andrew’s eyes narrowed, and the tention between them cracked like electricity
The entire park seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the next move in this dangerous game of family dynamics.
And I stood there, caught in the middle, i
where I belonged in this world that was rapidly falling apart around me.
Leo’s cold voice echoed in the grand hall, its icy tone sending chills through everyone present.
“When we came here, you told me the Ocean Heart Pack sent their Beta, and that’s the only reason I agreed to discuss the amusement park project. You deceived me If you’re worried about Aria’s safety, then you can take her back yourself”
Andrew’s face darkened almost stantly, the tendon in the room growing palpable.
As Leo’s harsh words hung in the air, Aria’s face crumbled.
Teats welled up in her eyes, and without warning, she burst into sobs, her shoulders–sfaking i
Seeing her cry, I almost felt a twinge of sympathy, but it was quickly overshadowed by the memory of the countless times she had tried to drive a wedge between Leo and me
No, I wouldn’t let her tears sway me now
She had orchestrated this hoping to force us apart, and she deserved no pity.

But Narik, ever the rebel, only shrugged indifferently.
He seemed unfazed by the tension in the air, as though he thrived in sich chans.
Andrew said in a deep voice, “Narik, Look at you now, how do you deserve to be one of the Silvermoon heirs? You hurry bark with me
Without so much as a glance at his father, Narik pulled on his helmet, hopped on his motorcycle, and sped away, leaving Andrew in a cloud of exhau
Inside Leo’s car was silent
The atmosphere in the car was heavy, filled with unspoken words and lingering doults.
The faint scent of Aria’s perfume still lingered in the air, tainting the space around us.
It was sweet, almost sickening, and it gnawed at me, stirring a deep sense of unease
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, trying to escape the cloying scent, but it seemed to cling to the very fabric of the car.
As I turned slightly, something caught my eye,
