Aria's POV

We excused ourselves from all the crowd of people that wanted to greet me, and Knox led me towards the center of the dance. I could feel the eyes of the pack members on us as we walked.

The couples that had been dancing stopped, and they patiently waited for Knox and I to start.

A slow melodic tune began to play. My heart pounded in my chest as I thought of dancing and embarrassing myself terribly.

As we reached the middle of the floor, Knox turned to face me.

“It’s simple,” he said lowly, “Just follow my lead.”

I nodded nervously as I placed one hand on his shoulder while he held my other hand in his, then he placed his hand on my waist, “Relax,” he murmured, his gray eyes softened as they stared into mine. “You’ll be fine.”

Then we started dancing. Knox began to move, and he led me as he moved with the music. At first, I kept stumbling over and over again, but Knox caught me each time, making it look smooth and hiding the fact that I was actually stumbling.

Gradually, I f

    Aria's POVI glanced around subtly to see if there was anyone close by who would notice the man approaching and would probably intervene.Unfortunately, there was no one watching. I didn't want to look like I was panicking even though I really was.Instead, I braced myself for what I knew was going to be an awful encounter.As he reached me, he gave me a condescending look.“I am Cornelius Langley, a loyal member of this pack.” He introduced himself with arrogance in his voice, and his nose in the air.I decided to be polite, hoping that maybe he was just overconfident. “I'm—”He cut me off with a dismissive wave of his hand. “I know who you are—everybody knows who you are. The omega without a name who was picked up by the Alpha King to be his mate.”His words stung, but I forced myself not to react. I had been hearing things worse than this. I wasn’t going to let him get to me.However, he wasn't done.“You may have caught the Alpha King’s eye, but don’t think for a second that you’r

    Aria's POV“What's wrong?” Knox asked, looking concerned.“I'm fine,” I replied with a soft smile.He shook his head, stepping closer to me with a small frown. “Something has been bothering you, Aria. You can tell me, and I'll take care of it.” He urged.I hesitated. Cornelius’ words replayed in my mind.‘Do me a favor and keep this between us. Or you could go running to him like the little girl you are.’I knew what Cornelius was trying to do. He was trying to keep me silent, so that I wouldn't tell Knox.“Aria?” Knox called, furrowing his eyebrows in worry when I didn't reply.I released a sigh. “I'm just worried that some of your pack members might not be pleased that an omega like me is coming to be their Luna Queen.” I said vaguely, without mentioning names.He furrowed his eyebrows even further. “What are you talking about? First of all, they are your pack members also—our pack members. Secondly, didn't you see the kind of welcome they gave you? They love you!” he exclaimed.I b

    Aria’s POVIn the early hours of the morning, I was awake. I couldn't sleep as so many thoughts raced through my mind at the same time.First, Cornelius’ words and his association with Astrid were worrisome, because I knew it wasn't going to do anything good for me. Telling Knox was out of the question. Cornelius' words echoed in my head, reminding me that I would just seem like a helpless little girl relying on Knox for everything. I needed to gain my respect as the Luna, instead of being feared because of Knox.I wanted to be a respected Luna. So I wasn't reporting it to Knox. I would handle it myself. Even though I didn't know how to handle it myself, I would find a way.However, what was troubling me the most was Knox. Last night was amazing and truly magical, but something had been missing.I thought that because I had finally been introduced as his Luna, that he would mark me last night. It made sense, as there was nothing standing between us, we were already recognized as mates

    Aria's POV“Knox,” I mumbled softly, tears welling up in my eyes at his pain.He shook his head, “Please hold on, let me finish.” He pleaded softly.I nodded as I silently waited for him to continue speaking.“But yesterday was so different. You made the effort to get them to approach me, and they were so free with me like never before. It was amazing.” He exclaimed with a slightly brighter look in his eyes.My heart broke for him, and I couldn't help but throw myself at him in a hug.“You don't need to thank me for anything,” I mumbled against his chest, breathing in his familiar intoxicating scent of peppermint and cedar.“I owe you so much already, you have done a lot of things for me, Knox.” I murmured softly.He wrapped his arms around me with a contented sigh.~Knox left an hour later, promising to be soon to take me on a tour as promised. I was not looking forward to that tour. As Knox left, a question that had been nagging me flashed through my mind. Why were we staying in se

    Aria's POV~Back to Aria~After Shawn and Lisa left, I plopped down on the bed as I processed everything I now knew about Cornelius.My mind flashed back to the discussion I just had with Shawn and Lisa.~Flashback~We had been talking about the previous night, and we were chatting and joking, when a thought occurred to me.“Hey, Shawn. Who is Cornelius Langley?” I blurted out, furrowing my eyebrows curiously at them.Instantly, the smiles on their faces faded. It was so abrupt that I immediately knew that something was wrong.“Woah, what's going on?” I asked when neither of them said anything. They just keep exchanging glances between themselves.“Shawn? Lisa?” I called again when they didn't say anything.Shawn released a sigh. “Cornelius is an ass.” He started.“But he's also one of the most respected people in this pack. Apparently, he supported Alpha Blackwood when he was taking over the throne.” Shawn added with a small sneer.He obviously did not like Cornelius. Lisa nodded as

    Aria’s POVAs Knox and I walked out of my room, I noticed that some of the pack members we passed, murmured greetings, quickly bowed and walked past us with their heads down, while some gave small nervous smiles as they greeted and walked past us.“This is progress, Aria.” Knox murmured discreetly as we walked by another group of people that had given us nervous smiles as they walked off.I turned to him, confused. “Huh?”He grinned. “The pack members,” he replied. “They never smile at me. They mostly avoid my eyes, keep their heads down as they greet and walk past me so fast, as though I would pounce on them if they delay for even a bit.” He admitted with a self-deprecating smile.I placed my hand in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “Always remember that, no matter what, your pack loves you. They might fear you, but they love you and with time, they'll come around.” I reassured him with a soft smile.He shrugged. “I know, and it's all thanks to you.”~~“So, this tour will give

    Aria’s POVThe man was tall and looked so fierce. He had a scar running across his face from his left eye to the side of his nose.He glared down at me with disdain in his eyes.“So, you're the Alpha King’s new Luna,” he drawled, crossing his arms. “I must fucking admit, I expected... more.” He growled with a scowl on his face.I released a deep breath of frustration as I wondered who he was and where he came from.It was getting exhausting. Every corner I turned, there was always someone questioning my place, my worth, or why Knox had chosen me.“I’m sorry, who are you? And what's your point?” I asked.His scowl deepened. “I am Connor, and my point is that you should go back to whatever fucking shithole you crawled out of, because you are not wanted here, and you never will be.”I pursed my lips as I kept myself from replying. Maybe if I kept silent, he would get tired and leave.“I expected better from the Alpha King. If he wanted to keep his fated mate, that's fine, but to keep her

    Knox's POVI had just finished speaking with Hunter on the phone, and was returning to where Aria was waiting for me.“I expected better from the Alpha King. If he wanted to keep his fated mate, that's fine, but to keep her as the fucking Luna Queen, that's not logical.” Connor, a pack member, said, and I realized that he was talking to Aria.‘Mate!’ My wolf, Fenrir, growled in my head with rage in his voice. He immediately tried to take control.‘Let me out, I’ll rip his throat out for this.’I gritted my teeth as rage coursed through me. ‘How dare he? How dare Connor speak to our mate like that?’However, I clenched my fists as I tried to control myself. I didn't want to scare Aria like I did before.“He could keep you as a fuck toy, no one cares, but he should have picked a strong female, as his Luna Queen. What the fuck was he thinking?”The more I tried to control myself, the more I got angrier. All I wanted to do was give Connor a very painful death.As I got closer, I could see

    Aria's POVI woke up in the pack clinic with a soft ringing in my ears, and, as usual, aching muscles.I released a soft groan as I shakily tried to sit up on the bed.“Woah, woah. Easy there.” Shawn's voice called, as he immediately rushed to my side to support me.“What happened?” I groaned, squinting my eyes because of the harshness of the light in the room.“You passed out.” Shawn replied.“Gave us quite a scare.” Lisa, Shawn's mate, added.I glanced to my side to see Lisa entering the room.“When did I pass out?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. “The last thing I remember was…” I trailed off as I remembered what had happened yesterday.“Oh,” I mumbled softly as I was reminded of the ache in my chest.“What happened out there? Was Hunter working you too hard?” Shawn asked with concern in his eyes.“That cold-hearted asshole.” Lisa cursed under her breath.I shook my head absentmindedly, “No. Did Knox come by?” I asked, glancing behind them.Shawn's eyes softened with sympathy. “No,

    Aria's POVKnox did not return home that night. I knew that because I stayed awake almost all night waiting for him.When it was 5:30am, I groggily stood up from the bed to prepare for the training session with Hunter. Yesterday's training felt so long ago, like it had happened weeks ago, and not yesterday.I reluctantly made my way to the bathroom. I cringed internally when I saw how awful I looked in the mirror. My blonde hair was disheveled, and my eyes were red and swollen from crying.I washed my face, and tried to make myself look less like a mess—there was no use giving Hunter something to insult.Honestly, I didn't want to go to training, but the more I stayed cooped up in the room, the more I was going crazy—and the dark voice had been strangely silent.I needed something to distract me, and training might be just what I needed.Fortunately, I made it to the training area without getting lost.“You're late,” Hunter said coldly, without glancing at me. Just like yesterday, he

    Aria’s POVAs Knox walked in, my heart raced, and my palms became clammy. Immediately he saw me, his eyes lighted up.“Hello, my little angel.” He greeted me, placing a kiss on my lips.“Hey,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.“So, how was it?” Knox asked, sitting beside me on the bed.My heart raced, and my eyes widened slightly. “How was what?” I asked, wondering what he was asking about.Knox gave me an odd look. “Your visit to the pack’s clinic? To work there?” he replied, looking at me strangely. “Are you alright?”I nodded. “Yes, I’m fine.”“Are you sure?” he asked again with concern in his voice, “You look pale.”I nodded again. “Yes, I’m fine. Just a little tired. The visit to the pack clinic was... interesting. I spoke to the Head Healer, Healer Felicia, and she’ll get back to me tomorrow.” I informed him.Knox frowned with displeasure on his face, “Why is she waiting till tomorrow?” he asked.I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. “Knox, you know that I have no

    Aria’s POV“So you slammed her head on the table?” Shawn questioned with wide eyes.I shrugged in response as we turned a corner, and Shawn released a loud bark of laughter.“I cannot believe it!” He exclaimed. “Our very own Luna showed them who's boss!”A small smile crossed my lips at his words. “Come on, Shawn. It’s not a huge deal. She was being awful, and I couldn’t just stand there and do nothing.”Shawn gaped at me. “Have you even heard what the pack members are saying about you?”I gave Shawn a sideways glance. “I really hope it’s something good,” I said, half-joking.“Hell yeah it’s good! They’re calling you a hero, a true Luna, who will not stand by and let things go wrongly for any reason, even though you were previously just an omega. This pack is so happy that you’re here, Luna.” Shawn said with a serious look.I paused for a moment with an uncertain look on my face. “But, I didn’t do anything, Shawn. Why are they making it sound like I did something so huge?”Shawn gave

    Aria's POVAs I walked down the hallway, I felt eyes watching me. The sensation got so great that I subtly glanced around as I walked to confirm.Sure enough, some healers and some patients were staring at me as I walked out of Healer Felicia's office. It wasn’t the type of unpleasant stares that I normally got. No, for some reason, this one felt different. Just as I was wondering about it, a voice called me from behind.“Luna!” the voice called, and I turned back. It was the man whose pregnant mate had been in pain that Melissa had treated awfully.I gave him a small smile, but my smile immediately faded when I saw tears running down his face as he approached. I instantly feared the worst.“Hey,” I said softly “How is she doing?” I asked, praying that it hadn't been too late.“Oh, Luna!” He cried in reply, falling down to his knees before me.I immediately dropped to my own knees to console him. I couldn't imagine the pain he was feeling at that moment about losing his mate.“I'm so

    Aria’s POVFor a moment, silence filled the room. Cornelius’s confident smirk faltered slightly, but his smirk widened again, and he scoffed.“I won’t dare you to do anything, Aria, because I don’t want you to disgrace yourself.” He started, “Because it’s pretty obvious to everyone where you stand with Alpha Blackwood.” He sneered.I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. What was he talking about? Then he smirked. “He hasn’t marked you as his yet, Aria.” He taunted me.His words felt like a blow to me, but I refused to let him see that. I folded my arms, lifting an eyebrow at him.“That’s none of your business,” I replied, keeping my voice steady even though sadness swept over me. “Knox’s decisions are none of your concern, Cornelius.”His smirk deepened. “Oh, but they are, little Luna. They are the concern of the whole pack. This pack needs a real Luna. And without that mark, you’re just....temporary.”Blood rushed to my ears as his words, and I took a deep breath to steady my voice.“H

    Aria’s POVSo, let’s go back to business. I heard you were here to see me. What is the matter? Are you here for a medical matter? A check-up?” she asked with a small smile.I shook my head, returning her smile as I tried to shake off my earlier feeling of unworthiness. “No, nothing medical. I’m not here for a check-up either.” I replied.“Oh,” she said with an odd expression on her face. “Then what are you here for?”“I want to help out in the pack’s clinic.” I replied, watching her face carefully as I spoke.She lifted an eyebrow at me skeptically, “Oh, so you want to help out here?”I nodded. “Yes, Honestly, I don’t want to sit idle every day, doing nothing.”When Felicia opened her mouth to say something, I cut her off before she could protest.“I know I don’t have any medical training or experience, so I’m not going to try helping out in those areas.”Felicia was looking torn. She didn’t know what to do. Everyone in the clinic had medical training, no matter how little, even Melis

    Aria's POVI followed Healer Felicia into her office, my mind racing as my encounter with Melissa replayed in my mind. I couldn't believe that I had actually slammed her head on the counter. It had to be the most bizarre thing I had ever done in my life.I gave Healer Felicia a slightly suspicious look as I followed her. What was she going to say to me? Was she part of the group of people that didn’t want an omega as a Luna?She opened the door to her office, and walked in, going to stand behind the large desk in the office.“Look, Healer Felicia, I don’t regret what I did to–” I started, because I didn’t want to waste my time with anyone who wasn’t worth it.“Luna, please take a seat.” Hunter Felicia said softly, interrupting me, still standing behind her desk.Her tone was soft. Even though she had interrupted me, her tone didn’t sound disrespectful in any way, and she had called me, Luna. I furrowed my eyebrows slightly, as I lowered myself to one of the chairs in front of the desk

I didn’t want to cause a scene, but I couldn’t sit by and see injustice. I stepped forward, ready to face the receptionist myself. I glanced at the name tag on her chest. Melissa.She glanced up, and annoyance flickered through her face. “What do you want?” she asked flatly with impatience in her voice.I straightened my posture, keeping my voice calm. “I’m here to see the head healer.” I stated.Melissa sneered at me with disdain. “And who the fuck do you think you are to waltz in and demand to see the head healer?” She spat.I maintained eye contact, watching her with a calm expression on my face. “Tell her Aria, Luna Aria is here to see her.” I replied calmly.Her sneer faltered slightly, but her expression didn’t change. Instead, she smirked. “Luna Aria?” she repeated with a mocking sneer.I igno
