Chapter 2

I was petrified, looking at Diana. Despite her disheveled appearance, she hugged Asher without embarrassment. She sobbed and tightened her embrace on Asher, making the wolf in me want to attack her.

In the past, I may have immediately pulled Diana away from my boyfriend. But this time, I restrained myself because I wanted to see how Asher would respond to Diana's drama.

“I'm scared...” she whimpered.

“What are you afraid of?” Asher was still trying to figure out what made Diana cry like that.

“After you left, I watched a horror movie and got scared,” Diana replied.

Asher laughed so hard after hearing Diana's words. He was never like that when he was with me. I like seeing her laugh like that. I'm just hurt that the person behind that laugh isn't me.

That's when I knew that Asher was allowing Diana into his life more deeply. Asher's hand was wrapped around Diana's body.

“How strange. You're so scared, but you watch horror movies.” Asher commented amidst his laughter.

“You recommended that movie, Asher.” Diana is so spoiled.

“Calm down, you're safe with me,” Asher said.

What?

What did Asher say just now? Why did the two become so dramatic just because of a horror movie? For the love of the Moon Goddess, I'm sick of seeing and hearing them.

“With you? Do you intend to live with him after this?” I asked.

Asher looked at me with burning eyes, showing annoyance. I should have been the one annoyed; I should have been angry, and I should have had the right to glare at him as he did.

With great care, Asher sat Diana on the sofa and went straight to the kitchen to give her a warm drink to calm her down. His attention goes beyond anything when it comes to Diana.

Even Asher doesn't care about my current existence.

“Did you get hurt because of a horror movie?” I asked Diana.

My question made Asher and Diana look up at me. Their gazes were equally threatening because of my question. Ah, the two of them are so compatible with their cohesiveness.

I laughed amusedly at their stares.

“Diana, you're crying. That means there's a deep wound, doesn't it?” I spoke.

“Don't worry, Aria. If I get hurt, Asher will heal me right away.” Diana responded by squinting her eyes back at me.

Ah, I forgot that he was an Alpha with the power to heal wounds.

If only Asher could use that power to heal the wounds of my heart for what he did, I would genuinely live without any pain. I would ask him to heal me all the time after he hurt me.

“You're right, Diana. So, are you hurt by something?” asked Asher.

She briefly shook her head but then showed her leg. “It's just that my legs are a little sore from running,” she said with a small smile.

With that, Asher naturally paid attention to Diana's legs, looking for where Diana's legs were aching, with Asher's good intentions to help Diana.

Meanwhile, Diana looked at me with a slight grin. The look on her face was as if she was so satisfied that her plan to keep me away from Asher had succeeded. She deliberately played with some of Asher's hair to provoke my anger.

So sneaky.

“You should have accompanied me to that movie. But you left instead.” Diana tried to make Asher feel guilty about what had happened to him.

“Sorry, but I have a special day celebration appointment with Aria,” Asher responded.

What matters to him? He would leave anything for Diana. That matters as if Diana is his priority, as well as his world and life. Everything is about Diana.

“I feel safe when I'm with you.” Diana played with Asher's hair.

“Hey, do you two need a room for the next scene?” I interrupted their conversation.

Hearing my words, they both turned to me. Asher's brow furrowed as he got tired of my attitude. But I felt innocent. I was only offering them something good.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I'm offering you a room for free.”

“Aria!” Asher's tone was low. But it was full of emphasis, indicating his anger with my words.

Ugh!

I forgot that only Asher has the right to be angry, jealous, happy, and sad in our marital relationship. I couldn't. Asher is the sole heir to the Clawhaven Clan's Alpha bloodline. He is a prince. But that doesn't work in our relationship.

In marriage, we are husband and wife. No one has a higher or lower rank.

“Aria, I know I'm intruding. I'm sorry,” Aria apologized.

Just like when Asher apologized to me, her eyes showed no guilt. Diana looked satisfied that she had drawn all of Asher's attention.

“You apologized, but are you still sitting here?”

Asher immediately got up from his seat and raised his hand towards me, asking me to stop talking. From this, I can conclude that Asher will still defend Diana even though Diana is the guiltiest person in our relationship, which is heading towards destruction.

“Aria, stop this!” Asher commented.

I could see Diana holding back her laughter at the sight of me earning Asher's ire several times in front of her.

Asher, don't you see Diana's annoying face? She's trying to destroy our relationship! How can I tell you so that you understand?

“Asher, I'll just go home. Aria seems to be in a bad mood.” Diana got up from her seat.

“Aria, calm yourself. I'll take Diana home. It'll only take a minute.”

Of course.

Of course, I had to calm down while watching Asher leave our residence and lead Diana. He didn't even calm me down like he did Diana.

Unable to hold back any longer, I went into my room and burst into tears right then and there. Silently, I bit my arm to vent my anger and disappointment at what Asher did.

I don't know how to describe the pain I feel.
