Tears streamed down her cheeks as her gaze met the man she once swore she would never fall for. But now, standing there, she felt like a wife who had finally come home to her husband.
Livia took a single step forward.
Aldus froze, his breath catching in his throat, his body trembling as disbelief turned into pure, overwhelming emotion.
"Livia…" he whispered.
And with that one word, Aldus moved—closing the distance between them in long, powerful strides.
Without hesitation, he pulled her into his arms and held her as though he'd never let go.
"Livia… it's really you. I've waited for you for so long. I thought… I thought you'd choose your freedom instead," he murmured, his voice shaking with emotion.
For weeks, he'd been haunted by that fear—that she would never come back.
But she did.
She came back to the Blood Moon Pack.
To him.
