Both Elda and Ashley stared at each other.
Noel: "Don't look at me—GO!
Run! Sprint! Teleport!
The faster you apologize, the better!" 😤
The two women gave her one last confused stare—
Then dashed out of the room.
Noel sighed dramatically.
Noel (internal):
Oh my god… me? Training?
Nooooo.
I'm not that strong! Who even trains here? A swordmaster? A beast? A demon?
Noel, girl, THINK. This is the perfect chance to escape.
If I stay here a few more days… I'll be dead for sure.
She clenched her fist like a villain.
Noel: "So… run away." 😎
On the Other Side
Aaron sat at his desk, flipping through files, calm and unreadable.
Elda and Ashley slipped inside nervously.
Elda: "Aaron…" 😅
Aaron: "Hmm."
He didn't even look up.
Ashley: "We know we were wrong… back then." 😤
"But I swear—I'm not someone who chases other omegas.
Trust me." 😤
Elda: "And I care for you.
That doesn't mean I'd torture you in obsession!
I've never even thought of that." 😤
"Please…"
Aaron finally lifted his head.
His face was gentle. Too gentle.
Aaron: "I'm not angry at you both. Trust me."
Both: "Huh?" 😶
Aaron: "I know you, Elda.
I'll try my best to find a solution to everything.
So don't worry." 😐
Ashley opened her mouth softly.
Ashley: "I… Aaron—"
Aaron:
His voice turned cold.
Sharp enough to silence the air.
Aaron: "Be prepared, Ashley.
You too, Elda."
He placed the papers down.
Aaron:
"Within a week, this marriage will end.
And I will break the mate bond as well." 😐
Silence.
Elda froze.
Ashley's breath caught.
Neither knew what to say.
Their hearts trembled—because this time, Aaron's resolve felt unbreakable.
