    <b>Chapter </b><b>65 </b>


    Aria’s Pov


    The next morning, I was the first one to wake up.


    He was lying behind me, his warm chest pressed tightly against my back, one arm wrapped around my waist.


    The soreness between my legs was impossible to ignore.


    I let out a silent breath, staring at the corner of the room.


    That whole rule about how I <b>wasn’t </b><b>allowed </b>on this floor was like bullshit now. I couldn’t even remember the


    “What are you thinking about?” came his raspy voice beside my ear. He was awake


    I shifted a little, but <b>he </b>only held me tighter. Our bodies werepletely tangled beneath the sheets.


    “Tell me,” he <b>insisted</b>.


    The more I got to know him, the more I realized just how possessive he really was.


    “I’m thinking how you forced me topletely betray everything I believed in,” I said quietly.


    He gave a soft scoff. “That no sex rule was stupid anyway.”


    frowned. “Your first love was from Frostpine Pack too. <b>Would </b>you <b>say </b>her beliefs were stupid?”


    He propped himself up and flipped me over to face him. His expression was cold in the dim light.


    Let me guess. Zane told you that again?”


    I shrugged. “We had a lot of time to kill while we were on the run.”


    st time I’d <b>slept </b>in my own bed.


    He exhaled sharply, clearly trying to keep his temper down. “Frostpine Pack puts a lot of weight on bloodline purity. That’s why toyal members- especially women–are forbidden from having sex before marriage. So they don’t end up with bastards. But you’re not royalty, Aria. You don’t need to follow that rule,”


    <b>Of </b>course I knew that


    Honestly, I didn’t even know why my mom insisted I follow it in the first ce. It’s not like anyone would’ve cared if Thad been sleeping around since was a teenager or had a kid in high school.


    But still…it was a principle I’d clung to for over 20 years.


    And he was the one who <b>made </b><b>me </b><b>break </b>it


    I guess what pissed me off even more than losing my virginity…was how little he seemed to care.


    “Besides,” he murmured huskily in my ear, “you did enjoy the sex.”


    His hand slid from my waist down between my legs, circling my clit. My back arched as I gasped for air. My body was already getting ready for another


    hard fuck.


    <b>“</b>You’re so sensitive, babe. We’re perfect together,” he whispered, ribbling my earlobe. “Don’t let that stupid rule ruin something this good.”


    <b>“</b>And w


    what if I ask you to marry me?” I asked suddenly.


    His hand froze.


    <b>Just </b>like that, all the heat and spark in the dir vanished.


    “You’re asking?” he echoed, hit vairo dropping dangerously tow


    “yeah, You think that rule is stupid, but I don’t. So now I’m asking the guy who took my virginity to marry me


    He actuallyughed like I’d just said something ridiculous.


    “Don’t be silly,” he said lightly.


    I scoffed and pushed him off, jumping out of bed. His cous fromst night was still diding down my thigh–sticky and gross. Feeded a shower,


    “You can


    nask me for anything. Except mariage,” he said from behind me, his tone like he was warning me not to get gready


    I didn’t reply. I just headed straight into the bathroom.


    The hot water helped a lot. I could finally breathe again. Think straight


    He probably wouldn’t let me go back to work anymore.


    So what now? Was I supposed to just stay locked up in this gilded cage, waiting for the day he got bored of me? Or until he found some properdy to marry?


    <b>I </b>had no idea.


    After I finished my shower, I stepped out with a towel around my hair. He wasn’t in the bedroom anymore. A few maids were tidying <b>up </b>the sheets<b>. </b>


    The moment they saw me, they dropped what they were doing <b>and </b>bowed


    “Lady Collins,” one of them said nervously. “Alpha <b>asked </b>that you go to his study after you’ve freshened


    I nodded and started heading toward the door. <b>But </b>then I paused and turned back to them.


    “Don’t call me ‘Lady.” I’m not one.”


    Everyone kept reminding me <b>how </b>lowborn I was. There was no poigt pretending otherwise.


    The maids exchanged a nervous nce. One of them mumbled, “Y–yes… understood…mydy.”


    I sighed and walked <b>out </b>of the room.


    His study used to be off–limits to me too. But just like his bedroom, that rule had <b>long </b>gone out the window.


    I reached the study and <b>knacked</b>, then opened the door and walked in,


    Then I immediately froze.


    I’d thought he would be alone.


    But no. There were at least 20 people inside. All of them <b>dressed </b>in expensive suits, elegant, powerful–looking. They all turned to stare at me atonce


    And I was wearing… a bathrobe. My hair was still damp.


    “Sorry to interrupt,” I blurted<b>, </b>hastily trying to back out.


    “Come in, Aria


    Grayson <b>was </b>sitting right in the center of the room on a plush anta, fully dressed, looking like a damni kes


    He reached a hand out to me and held my gaze steadily


    Was he out of his fucking minut? i shook my head hard at hen,


    “Come,” he repeated


    Left with no choice, I sighed and quietly shut the door behind me, and walked toward him–under everyone’s shocked stares.


    He pulled me straight into his. Then he just buried his face in my neck, inhaling deeply.


    There were gasps all around us.


    “Alpha Grayson, with all due respect, this meeting is incredibly important…” middle aged man said respectfully. But his eyes were ring at me ket was some filthy rats


    “You may continue,” Grayson saidzily.


    He started ying with a strand of my hair like it was the only thing he cared about


    “I’m afraid the matters of thepany and pack are top secret. We can’t discuss them freely…especially with outsiders present


    Grayson’s hand stilled.


    His cold p


    gray eyes locked on the


    on them. And he gave a strange, <b>sharp </bugh.


    “Outsider?” he repeated, “That’s fucking ridiculous. Aria is someone I trustpletely. Meanwhile, Jace Carter–who’s a real outsider—you had no problem sharing all your secrets with.”


    Everyone stiffened in their seats.


    “W–we’re so sorry, Alpha. But Mr. Carter is Lady Delh’s husband……..


    “I had him sign a prenup. He’s cut off from thepany. That bastard doesn’t deserve t seconds and you <b>all hurry </b><b>to </b>wee him onboard…That is betrayal


    ve to touch myp


    mypany nor my pack. Yet took my eyes off for 5


    He didn’t yell.


    But his voice was sharp and <b>dangerous</b>.


    It made my skin crawl. I was pretty sure everyone in this room felt the same way.


    Grayson’s gaze shifted to one man in the room.


    “Speaking of betrayal…Beta Harold.”


    A man shot up from his chair, his face pale<b>, </b>forehead drenched in sweat.


    <b>Wait</b>, I knew that name.


    May told me he was the one who led people to the hospital and locked up my grandmother!


    “Beta Harold, have you ever betrayed me?” Grayson asked coldly.


    “O–of course


    not! I’m your Beta–I’d never


    “Yet you went behind my back and hurt Aria’s family. Who gave you that order?”


    Theld my breath


    <b>Walt</b>–behind bly back?


    Did that mean the really had nothing to do with it


    Harold looked like he was about to pass out from the tension. After a long, heavy pause, he said their orders were the same as yours –


    “Give me a name.<b>” </b>

    Harold’s teeth were chattering. “Lady Delh<b>… </b>and your mother.”


    I pped my hand over my mouth, eyes wide with shock and fury.

    Before I could fully register everything, Grayson suddenly led me off hisp and ced me on the couch


    In the next second, he was in front of Harold.


    He seized Harold’s neck with one hand and easily lifted the six–foot man off the ground!


    Everybody screamed. Harold let out a strangled cry, kicking and thrashing for air.


    “Aria.”


    Grayson stared at the Harold’s purple face, his eyes gleaming coldly. “What do you think we should do with him?”


    I gripped the edge of the couch, half–standing. “…I get to decide?”


    “Of course. I told you. You can ask me for anything”
