Aidan had finally gotten his brain to fall asleep, when he awoke to a scream. It was a blood curdling scream that instantly chilled his heart. Without time to think, he jumped out of his bed and ran toward the sound. Silas and the guards were already there outside the apprentice’s door.“Listen to me!” Silas was telling the guard, who wasn’t listening at all. Instead he was furiously banging on the door and calling out to Aravia. “What’s going on?” Aidan asked the guard.“I don’t know Alpha, there was a scream and the door’s locked.”“Open it.” “It’s just a night terror!” Silas yelled to them both. “She has had them since she was a girl. She’s fine!” Silas pleaded. In truth, he didn’t know if Aravia had the habit of sleeping without her veil. And if anyone saw her face, then they would know the lie, and he wouldn’t be able to conceal her any longer. “I said open it!” Aidan’s senses were heightened now. He could smell the apprentice's fear. It was a fear that he had smelled as a ch

Slowly, she lifted her head to see his arm above her shoulder. She knew she had to turn around, but she didn’t want to. His body was so close, that she was afraid he could smell her arousal and sense her shame. She’d been involved in enough trouble with her classmates to be able to feel when someone wanted to hurt her, and she felt this familiar feeling now.“Turn around.” She slowly swiveled her body, trying not to fall on the now completely soaked floor. She had her eyes closed and decided she wasn’t going to open them. Her head drifted downward, ready for the beating. She waited for what seemed like forever. She could hear both of their breathing, ragged and fast. “Look at me.” She opened her eyes, but kept her head bent to the floor. She could feel a movement from beside her. He was raising his hand to strike.But the strike never came. Instead a hand cupped her chin firmly and lifted it upward. She could see his hazel eyes peering at her. There was a look of fury there, but also

“What is happening?” Back in her room, Aravia was trying to reign her emotions in. She had heard the laughter of a gamma down the hall. The slamming of a door, and then moans and what was presumably a headboard banging against the wall. She had assumed it to be the cocky Alpha’s son, Aidan. She knew it was unfair to presume such things without meeting him formally, but she also knew that wasn’t likely to happen anytime soon. So, she focused on her sightings and indirect encounters with him to base her opinion of his identity. “Fuck. . .” She felt her heart quicken when she heard his cry. His voice was ripe with his pleasure. Something Aravia had never experienced herself or given to another person. It was starting to make her heat up again. Her body was burning once more, and the space between her legs began to hum and buzz with arousal. She started to pace to get rid of the feeling. Calm your breath. She repeated to herself over and over, but it did nothing to stop the erratic brea

“What the fuck is he thinking Sam?!” Aidan’s long fuse had finally reached its end. He was pacing back and forth in his bedroom while his Beta laid on the bed, completely calm about the whole thing. “He obviously knows something we don't, Aidan.” Sam said in a tone not too different from a chastising mother.“But they’re fucking Mages.” Aidan fumed. Sam had been his childhood friend, chosen Beta, and had found his way to Alpha Gabriel’s side after his own father had passed. Sam was sometimes needed to calm him down. His temper had been getting the better of him lately when it involved his father and his choices.“Yes, and they're here to help the Luna.” Sam rose from his comfy spot on the bed and tapped Aidan on the shoulder. “And you think he isn’t on guard? Why do you think he put them up in the main house? In the Alpha wing? Yes, they’ll be close to the Luna, but they’re also being watched and guarded.”“So you do know something?” Aidan scoffed. No wonder Sam was so collected. “Y

“They’re here, Alpha.” The serious tone in Sam’s voice let Aidan know he was talking to his father instead of him. Aidan followed his Beta’s gaze out the window in time to see a large, black SUV pull in front of the house. Although Aidan was in fact an Alpha, his father Gabriel was the Pack Alpha. This meant that even though he was Gabreil’s son and successor, Aidan was not the True Alpha of the Pack. It didn’t mean that he didn’t have any authority. All of his pack treated him the same as Alpha Gabriel, given that he would someday take over as True Alpha.“Thank you, Sam.” Alpha Gabriel’s hulking figure rose from his chair and motioned for the surrounding warriors to follow. Aidan was so unlike his father, it was dumbfounding. While Gabriel was a thick, muscled man with a quick temper, Aidan was a slender, tall man with a long fuse. Truly, most Alphas were jacked with angry tempers and power lust in their eyes. Aidan was muscular, but his figure- hidden under an almost OCD-like prop

When Aravia finally awoke, the sun was just beginning to set. The water was tugging playfully at her hair, and the searing heat had finally left her body. She felt as if she’d been torn apart and put back together. The young woman sat up slowly and cursed softly at the pulling sensation of all of her muscles. The water had chilled her to the bone, and she shivered violently as the temperature dropped around her. One extreme to another, she thought sarcastically. Her actions from earlier in the day came rushing back, and she felt her cheeks heat up with embarrassment. What was she supposed to do now? Her mind reeled with the sinking feeling that she would have to go back and face her Master. She felt so absolutely horridly disgusting. How could she have thought she had the right to want such things? The lust she had felt earlier was buried beneath shame and guilt. She felt as if she should die. As if she deserved it. No, she thought to herself, I deserve to be shamed. That was a fate
