After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 39

chest.

I had spent years convincing myself that our union was nothing more than a pragmatic

rangement.

But now, as she retreated from me, I felt an unfamiliar ache, something gnawing at the edges of my hardened heart.

Aria's suffering was my responsibility, and I couldn't abandon her, especially since many of her wounds were from the war for me.

When I returned to the Silvermoon Pack, the atmosphere was tense.

Aria was in the house, her anger from earlier still palpable.

The servants were cleaning up the mess she had made, remnants of her rage scattered across the floor.

As soon as I walked in, Aria rushed over to me, her arms winding around my neck.

Her eyes were red, her makeup smeared from crying.

"Leo," she said, her voice a mix of distress and seductive charm.

"You have no idea how much I missed you. Everything hurts when you're not around."

I stiffened, caught between guilt and irritation.

She was always so adept at manipulating my emotions.

"You've been making a scene, Aria," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
