Elda: "Aaron…"
Aaron: "You can leave now."
He didn't raise his voice—yet the room felt colder.
"A king—an omega—can rule without his mate or queen."
He looked at them with tired eyes.
Aaron:
"It doesn't mean I'll abandon you two.
I know I'm punishing you for something you didn't do.
But I'll still give you my best."
He exhaled softly.
Aaron:
"I'll find your true partners.
I'll make your futures worth something.
But… forget about me." 😐
The words hit like a blade.
Elda's fingers trembled.
Elda: "Your decisions… are mine too, Aaron."
"But don't search for a partner for me."
Her voice softened, breaking.
Elda: "I'm… planning to join the war field." 🥲
Aaron snapped his head up.
Aaron: "Huh?" 😐
Elda:
"I knew one day you'd say something like this…
But I didn't know it would come like this." 🥲
Aaron finally gave a tiny smile—just a flicker.
Aaron: "It's your choice, little devil." 😊
Elda looked down, lips trembling.
Elda: "I don't feel like a devil today…" 😞
Ashley took a deep breath, stepping forward.
Ashley: "You can break the bond, Aaron."
"But… can you forgive me for the spying thing?" 😨
Aaron's eyes narrowed.
Aaron: "What happened to you? Don't sa—"
Ashley cut him off, voice shaking.
Ashley:
"You're my mate, Aaron.
I know the trauma I caused is horrible…
But I never chased other omegas.
Never."
Her eyes filled with tears.
Ashley:
"Aaron, trust me.
One day… I'll make you feel safe again." 😨
Elda watched silently, her heart sinking.
Aaron leaned back, staring sharply.
Aaron:
"Who ordered you…
to spy on me?" 😐
Ashley swallowed hard.
Ashley:
"It… it was…"
Her voice cracked.
