Chapter 3

Before Aria could refuse, Lucas had already grabbed her wrist and practically dragged her to his Range Rover.

The car pulled up outside The Night, the territory's most exclusive alphas-only club for elite werewolves. After parking, Lucas circled around to her side and opened the door with a theatrical flourish that once would have made her heart flutter.

Aria gave him a flat, empty stare as she stepped out.

The moment they entered the dimly lit space, Aria's attention was immediately drawn to a familiar figure.

Leila Blackwood.

She wore a champagne silk slip dress with a dangerously high slit, designer heels, and just enough silver to look effortless. Her glossy hair fell in loose waves, and her calculated smile drew everyone in as she held court in the VIP section, cocktail in hand.

Leila had been Lucas's childhood friend. During the years Aria had mated with Lucas, the two women had never crossed paths.

So she'd never suspected that Lucas had been obsessed with Leila all along.

When Leila spotted them, her eyes flickered with recognition, then narrowed into the slightest smirk-a look that confirmed everything. She'd been in on the 99-part revenge scheme all along.

This is revenge #97, Aria realized with stomach-turning clarity. Coming here was a setup.

Lucas also noticed Leila's presence. His fingers tensed around Aria's before he abruptly dropped her hand like it had burned him.

He leaned in, his breath hot against her ear: "Gotta take this call. Network with packmates or whatever. Back in five."

Aria stood frozen, watching Lucas's retreating figure, a cold emptiness spreading through her chest. The casualness of his dismissal felt like another slap in the face.

Before she could react, Leila was already gliding across the room with runway precision, following
