Chapter 64

**Chapter 64**

**Aria’s POV**

Peter remained silent, his lips pressed together, as if he were holding back a storm of words.

His gaze was distant, unfocused, as if he were staring through the walls of the room and into a world of chaos. The scent that lingered around him was a confusing mix of stress, frustration, and an underlying hint of fear that sent a shiver down my spine.

Within me, my wolf stirred, a restless energy coursing through my veins, sensing the turmoil that Peter was trying so hard to mask.

“Peter,” I said, my voice soft yet firm, “maybe I could take a look?”

The remnants of my former self, the lawyer who once fought fiercely in courtrooms, still resided within me, urging me to act. Peter had been more than just a student; he had been my shadow, my unwavering supporter through the darkest times. Helping him felt like a primal instinct, something I was compelled to do without a second thought.
