For close to three years, Aria watched the girls that scurried out of Alpha Liam’s bed every morning. She’d roll her eyes

and gossip about them behind their backs, but deep down, she desperately wanted to be one of them.

Well, that wasn’t completely true.

She didn’t want to be another notch on Alpha Liam’s post, another flushed girl running out of his room in the morning.

She wanted to be his girl — the only one in his bed. And even if she didn’t want to be just another hookup, sometimes

she wondered why she wasn’t good enough to at least get the offer. She knew it wasn’t a proper thought. She wasn’t

supposed to think this way of anyone but her mate.

If only I’d been his.

Did he not think she was appealing? Aria knew it wasn’t very modest to dwell on her physical appearance, but she liked

to think she was at least Bonus Chapter – Aria & Sebastian (2) pretty. She saw the way male eyes lingered on her as she

walked by. If only Alpha Liam’s would.

And then, one night, things changed.

She was bringing Alpha Liam his after-dinner scotch in his office as she always did. Usually, she found him reading or

doing paperwork, but tonight, she found him with his eyes closed and rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration.

“Here’s your drink, Alpha,” she said quietly and tried to pretend like her heart didn’t skip a beat when his eyes met hers.

“Thank you, sweetheart,” he said, smiling dryly when she placed the glass on his desk. There were two more empty

scotch glasses next to it.

Aria turned to leave like she always did, but his voice rang throughout the dimly lit office. “Wait.”

“Yes, Alpha?”

He just stared at her for a moment before sighing. “Nevermind, I shouldn’t trouble you. This is a man’s issue.”
