Chapter 122: You Are Mine!
(Aria’s POV)
“Are you done talking?” I looked at Alexander with complete calm, my heart surprisingly undisturbed despite his desperate confession.
My wolf remained quiet within me, no longer responding to his Alpha pheromones that filled
apartment.

It felt like everything had changed in a single moment.
If it had been a month ago, hearing Alexander say these words would have made me faint with joy. I had loved him for twelve long years, and all I ever wanted was to warm his cold heart.
But now, after I had finally pulled myself away from that toxic cycle, Alexander suddenly claimed he had
‘come to his senses‘.
There was nothing more ridiculous than this timing in the entire world.
Alexander’s face instantly darkened at my indifference. His amber eyes filled with pain, struggle, and a kind of desperate madness.
His Alpha scent spiked dangerously, becoming almost suffocating in the confined space.
“Is it because of Dominic Blackwood?” Alexander practically squeezed the words between clenched teeth. His wolf’s possessiveness was evident in every syllable, every breath.
I felt like laughing at his assumption.
“Alexander, what happens between us has nothing to do with anyone else,” I replied steadily. “You should know that better than anyone.”
Alexander instinctively stepped forward, his eyes burning with desperate need.
I almost reflexively took a step back, my face full of vigilance. My pregnant wolf’s protective instincts were heightened, screaming at me to maintain distance.
“Aria, can I apologize to you?” His voice cracked with emotion. “Will you forgive me one last time?”
I shook my head slowly, considering my words carefully.
“Alexander, I won’t lie to you. I do hold some resentment toward you,” I began. “But I never truly blamed you for my mother’s passing.”
A flicker of hope appeared in his eyes.
“You had no knowledge of what Claire was doing. You bore no malicious intent in that situation.”
Alexander’s face lit up with relief, a genuine smile beginning to form on his lips.
“But-“I continued, watching his smile fade immediately.
“I don’t like you anymore.”

The words hung in the air like a death sentence.
Alexander instinctively rejected this reality, shaking his head vigorously.
“I don’t believe it!” he exclaimed. “That’s impossible!”
1 chuckled softly at his denial, then looked directly into his desperate eyes.
“Alexander, perhaps even you don’t realize how overjoyed I was when I learned my wolf could recognize you as my mate.”
My voice grew gentler as I reminisced.
“I was so excited I nearly fainted. I believed myself to be the happiest she–wolf in the entire world.”
His face softened with visible remorse. He opened his mouth to speak, but I raised my hand gently.
“Let me finish,” I requested.
I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts.
“You likely don’t realize your immense appeal to other she–wolves. Your handsome looks, your Alpha status, your impeccable bloodline.”
Alexander’s expression grew increasingly uncomfortable as I spoke.
“In my naive youth, I believed mating with you was the absolute pinnacle of my aspirations. A stroke of incredible fortune for a low–ranking she–wolf like me.”
My eyes welled up slightly as I continued, mourning my foolish, innocent past.
“I thought I was so lucky. So blessed by the Moon Goddess herself.”
“Aria…” Alexander whispered, his voice thick with regret.
“So tell me,” I looked directly at him, my gaze unwavering. “If I still liked you as much as before, after hearing everything you just said, could I possibly refuse you?”
The logic was undeniable.
“My previous love for you was real,” I said with quiet finality. “And my current disinterest in you is also real.” Alexander’s hands clenched into tight fists repeatedly. They tightened until his knuckles went white, then suddenly loosened, only to clench again.
“Even if you say all this, I won’t change my mind,” he declared with frightening intensity.
His amber eyes burned with obsessive determination.
“Aria Summers, you are mine. You will be mine for life, and I will never let you go.”
The possessive statement sent chills down my spine.
A wave of complete helplessness washed over me. I had explained everything to him so clearly, appealing to both his emotions and his reason.
Yet he remained absolutely stubborn.
I never imagined Alexander could be so utterly unyielding!
“Whatever you say,” I replied with exhausted resignation.

I didn’t want to waste any more words on him. It felt like trying to communicate with a brick wall.
I walked straight to the apartment door and pulled it open wide.
“You can leave now,” I stated firmly. “You’re not welcome here, and don’t come back again, or I’ll call the
territorial enforcers!”
Alexander casually put one hand back in his pocket. His lips curved into a faint, unsettling smile.
His Alpha presence still dominated the entire space around us.
At that moment, he seemed to transform back into that cold, arrogant Alpha I remembered from our worst
days.
“Aria, I’ll make you come looking for me,” he said with chilling confidence.
The threat in his voice made my wolf whimper anxiously.
I impatiently pulled the door even wider, gesturing sharply.
“Go. Now.”
Alexander’s long legs carried him toward the exit with deliberate slowness.
But he paused abruptly as he reached the threshold, turning back to look at me one final time.
“I’ll wait for your call,” he said with absolute certainty.
With those ominous words, he finally walked out.
I slammed the door shut with such force that it echoed through the hallway. The sound felt satisfying, but my
anger remained.
My wolf was whimpering anxiously from the entire confrontation, sensing the danger Alexander now represented.
What he had said before leaving made my heart inexplicably uneasy.
I knew Alexander well enough to understand he was never one to make empty threats. If he dared to utter such harsh words, he must have something concrete planned.
But I couldn’t fathom what Alexander actually intended to do!
The uncertainty gnawed at me.
“Aria…”
As I lost myself in worried thoughts, Aunt Sophia suddenly opened the bedroom door and emerged. She immediately moved to the main door, pulled it open, and peered outside into the empty hallway. “Why did you let Alexander leave?” she asked urgently, her voice filled with disappointment. “Aunt Sophia, please don’t get involved in my business with him,” I said tiredly.
“How can I not get involved?” my aunt frowned deeply. “With Alexander’s Alpha status and bloodline, what kind of she–wolf can’t he have?”
Her voice rose with frustration.
“It’s such an incredible opportunity that he’s offering to re–mark you! Why did you chase him away like that?”

“We’re over,” I stated simply.
Aunt Sophia suddenly raised her hand and patted my arm with obvious exasperation.
“You’re being completely foolish!” she exclaimed. “Now that you’ve severed your mate bond, finding another good Alpha will be harder than climbing to heaven!”
Her lecture continued relentlessly.
“It’s better to reconcile with someone like Alexander. Not only is he handsome and wealthy, but more importantly, you already know his bloodline and character.”
I felt my patience wearing dangerously thin.
“Besides, I can see that he’s sincerely repenting for his mistakes,” she pressed on. “And anyway, you can’t blame Alexander entirely for your mother’s incident. It was all that scheming she–wolf Claire’s fault!”
“Aunt Sophia!” I interrupted sharply.
Hearing her increasingly outlandish remarks made my pregnant wolf restless with stress.
“Enough. I’m tired and want to rest,” I said firmly. “You should go to bed early too.”
“You should think about it more carefully,” she continued stubbornly. “They say a reformed Alpha is worth more than gold. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare!”
I ignored my aunt completely. I turned away and walked directly back to my bedroom.
The moment I closed the door behind me, I let out a deep sigh of relief.
Regardless of everything else, I would definitely send my aunt’s family back tomorrow. If they stayed any longer, I feared I would be driven completely mad by their interference.
I lay down on my bed and stared blankly at the ceiling for several long minutes.
Remembering that I had promised to go somewhere with Dominic tomorrow, I reached up and turned off the
bedside light.
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to force myself to sleep.
This sleep lasted until late the next morning. Perhaps it was due to my pregnancy, but I not only slept longer than usual but also slept exceptionally soundly.
My wolf finally felt peaceful after the previous night’s confrontation.
When I heard someone knocking insistently at the apartment door, my mind was still hazy with sleep.
It took me several moments to fully realize what was happening.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and stumbled to open the door.
“Aria, something terrible has happened!” Aunt Sophia burst out the moment she saw me. “Your brother is in serious trouble!”
At these words, my sleepiness vanished instantly. My wolf immediately snapped to full alertness.
“What happened to James?” I demanded.
Aunt Sophia was almost in tears, her hands shaking with distress.
“Just now, your brother called me from an unknown number,” she explained rapidly. “He said that a group of

wolves suddenly broke into his hospital room without warning.”
My stomach dropped as she continued.
“They knocked him unconscious without saying a word. When he woke up, he was in a completely unfamiliar.
place.”
“The wolves guarding him told him to call family and said that you would know exactly what to do!”
My mind buzzed with sudden understanding. I remembered Alexander’s ominous words from last night with crystal clarity.
“Aria, I’ll make you come looking for me.”
“I’ll wait for your call.”
The realization hit me like a physical blow.
“Aria, who did you offend?” Aunt Sophia asked desperately, her eyes red with worry. “Will your brother be okay? What kind of trouble have you gotten our family into?”
I quickly tried to reassure her, though my own panic was rising.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Sophia. James will be fine,” I said with more confidence than I felt.
I took a deep breath to steady myself, then turned to grab my mobile phone from the bedside table.
I found Alexander’s number in my contacts and pressed the call button with trembling fingers.
The call was answered on the second ring, as if he had been waiting.
I couldn’t suppress my fury any longer.
“Alexander, what exactly do you want?”
