**Chapter 24:**
Three Days Later… SATURDAY EVENING.
I had been planning for a housewarming party for weeks, excited to show everyone our new home, but Magnus called and made me cancel it.
"I need you at an important event this evening, Aria. We can't miss it," he had said in that deep, commanding tone that always made me feel weak in the knees.
So, here I was, in front of my mirror, dressed in the most stunning gown Magnus had sent me earlier in the day. The dress was a deep emerald green that shimmered like silk under the light. It hugged my figure perfectly, the neckline modest yet elegant, while the fabric flowed down to the floor with a slight train. The bodice was embroidered with delicate golden threadwork, giving it a regal touch. My hair was styled in loose waves, cascading down my back, and I had paired the dress with simple gold earrings. I looked every bit the part of royalty, even though I still felt a bit out of place in this world of Alphas and power.
