A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed Chapter 41
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

Knox's POVI continued pacing my office, running my hand through my hair.“You are the Luna Queen, Aria!” I continued, “My equal! Do you understand what that means?!” I asked, whirling around with a frown.Aria looked dumbfounded as she stared at me. “Knox–”I raised my hand to cut her off. “No, I don’t think you understand,” I said, shaking my head.I took a step closer to her, “It means that you are second to no one. Not even me.”I took another step closer. “It means that you have the same authority and power that I have”Another step closer. “It means that nobody is allowed to question your authority.”Another step. “It means that anyone that disrespects you, disrespects me.”Her eyes widened at my words, but I wasn't done. She needed to understand just how powerful she was.“The Moon Goddess chose you for me,” I said, my voice softer now, but still firm. “Not because you’re weak, but because you’re exactly what I need—what this pack needs.”“Do you understand?” I asked firmly.Sh

Knox's POV“Do you think not telling me will protect them?” I asked coldly. “All you’re doing is making it worse for them. I will find out, Aria. One way or another. You should know that by now.”Her eyes widened, but she didn’t respond.I took a step back, with a hard glare on my face.“And when I do, there will be no mercy. If you had told me their names, I might have considered being lenient. But now? Now, they’ll face the full wrath of the Alpha King—and the wolf who protects his mate.”I could see a hint of fear cross her face. However, she wasn't scared of me. She was scared of what I would do to those people. Good.I turned away from her. “You’re mine, Aria. And I won’t allow anyone to treat you with disrespect. Not ever.”After my declaration, I went to sit on my chair behind the table, and there was a tense silence.Aria fidgeted as she stood there, avoiding my eyes. I wondered what was going through her mind at that point.As I opened my mouth to ask her to take a seat, a lo

Aria's POV~A week later~“Knox?” I called softly as we lay on the bed in my room. We were about to sleep. For some reason, Knox kept sleeping in my room, but I had never seen his own room.Whenever I asked him about his room, he always said, “Yours is more comfortable, so why bother?”He had even brought more of his clothes into my room so that he could dress in my room.He turned to me, yawning with sleepy eyes. “Yeah?”I bit my lips softly before I replied. “I want to learn how to fight,” I told him.He furrowed his eyebrows. “Why? Who are you fighting?” Then he paused with a small frown. “Did someone threaten you?” He growled.I shook my head, as I quickly sat up. “No, no. It's…it's nothing like that. No one is threatening me, Knox,” I said firmly.And that was true. Since that incident with Connor at the pack clinic, no one had approached me to say anything insulting. The people that disliked me could only glare at me and give me angry looks. Nothing more. Not even Astrid said an

Aria's POVI ran a hand through my hair in frustration as I stared at the empty hallway. Why did I do that?‘Because it was the right thing to do,’ the dark voice whispered.“Shut up,” I gritted through clenched teeth.‘He’s trying to control you, to make you weak.’“Shut up!” I snapped louder, and my voice echoed in the hallway. My hands clenched into fists, and for once, the voice went silent and retreated.I released a sigh of relief, as I finally felt like I could think clearly. I released a sigh as my mind raced. I needed to speak to Knox and apologize. I shouldn’t have snapped at him. But where was I going to find him? His office, his room, or somewhere else.I ignored my aching muscles as I made my way out of my room to find him. The visit to the pack clinic could wait for now.I decided to go check out his office first. My body hurt as I walked, but I focused on Knox and my regret for snapping at him to get strength to move on.I ignored the weird looks I got from the pack mem

Aria's POVAt Knox's words, I paused with a small wince.“Well…” I started, and Knox also paused, lifting an eyebrow at me in question.“I want to go on my own.” I said softly, but steadily. “I don't want you to come with me, let me handle it myself.”He hesitated, clearly unhappy as he crossed his arms with narrowed eyes.“Why not? Is there a problem with me walking you there?”I shook my head quickly. “It’s not that. I just... I want to do this on my own. I need to.”His jaw tensed as he watched me, “Aria, I don't want anyone taking advantage of your kindness or soft heart to disrespect you.”“I’ll be fine,” I assured him, “I want to stand on my own two feet. If you come with me, it’ll feel like I’m relying on you for everything. Please, Knox, trust me.”Knox sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I do trust you, Aria. It’s just… after that incident with Connor, I…I”He trailed off with a frustrated sigh, clenching his fists. “I just don’t want anything like that to happen again.

Aria's POVI froze, staring at him with wide eyes, as a thrill ran down my body, even though my body was in a sorry state.“What?”He was talking about the silent treatment I had been giving him this morning.Knox laughed heartily at my reaction, “Relax, angel. I think today’s training was punishment enough, don’t you?”I exhaled sharply, feeling both relieved, annoyed and a little disappointed. “Very funny,” I muttered, glaring at him.Knox grinned, and he pushed off the door frame and headed toward the bathroom. “Let me go run that bath for you,” he said over his shoulder.As he entered the bathroom, I fell back on the bed, releasing an exhausted sigh as I stared up at the ceiling.Today had been torturous, but a little part of me felt proud of myself. This was my first step towards being stronger. If Hunter was really going to teach me how to fight, I would be stronger, not just physically but in other ways.A few minutes later, Knox returned, leaning against the door frame with a

Aria's POVAs I rose to my feet, I winced at my aching muscles. They would certainly hurt more later on. My throat was parched, and I desperately needed water. The thought of walking all the way back to my room to get some made me groan inwardly.Just as I was about to force myself to start the long trek, a bottle of water was thrust toward me. Startled, I looked up to see Hunter standing there with his usual sneer on his face.I hesitated, eyeing the bottle suspiciously. For a moment, I wondered if he had done something to it—poisoned it, maybe. Besides, he was Astrid's brother after all.“Take it or don’t. Your choice.” He said flatly, and his eyes shone with impatience at my hesitation.I clenched my jaw, thinking about my two choices. I could reject the water out of pride, or I could accept it because I needed it. At the end, the dryness in my throat won the battle, and reluctantly, I reached out and collected the bottle of water.“Thanks,” I muttered reluctantly.Hunter snorted.
A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed Chapter 51
Aria's POVThe distance they stood at was far enough that I couldn’t hear what they were saying. Knox murmured to Hunter, and I tried to pick up what he was telling Hunter by reading his lips or by watching Hunter’s facial expression. However, to my disappointment, I couldn’t pick up what he was saying, and Hunter kept his blank, so I couldn’t even get a hint.I turned away from them disappointed, deciding to wait for them to finish their private discussion instead. Internally, I was slightly upset that I was being excluded.A few minutes later, they both walked back to where I stood.“Hey,” Knox said softly, “You’re in good hands, alright? Like I said earlier, Hunter is a very good and experienced fighter. One of the best in this pack, actually. I might be a better fighter than he is, but he’s a much better teacher.” He assured me.I nodded in understanding, but internally I was panicking inside because very soon, I would be left alone with Hunter.“Take care of yourself, I’ll come s

Aria's POVKnox watched me for a moment with a piercing gaze, and I had to force myself not to look guilty or tense. At that moment, his eyes were unnerving, as though they were piercing into my soul.Finally, he nodded, and I sighed internally in relief. ‘That was not a comfortable feeling,’ I thought to myself.Knox placed a soft kiss on my lips. “Rest up now, Aria. I’m right here,” he murmured softly, and I closed my eyes.“Remember that you have training with Hunter this morning by 6am,” he added.Immediately, my eyes flew open, and my heart raced – I had totally forgotten. No matter how excited I wanted to be about learning how to defend myself, the fact that it was Hunter that would train me, really dimmed my excitement.Knox’s voice cut through my thoughts. “I know you’re excited about tomorrow, but you need to go back to sleep.” He must have mistaken my racing heart for excitement, and not panic.But I obeyed, and closed my eyes, willing myself to calm down as I tried to sleep

Aria's POV“You are the cause of all this,” the voice cackled. “Their blood is on your hands, you've brought death upon them... this is your power, Aria.” The voice was getting closer now, but I was frozen in terror.“Embrace it, Aria. This is what you are meant to be.”I scrambled to my feet, but the bodies were everywhere. I couldn't escape them. It was my fault. I had done this.I turned to look at Knox’s body again, as the guilt ate into me.“Accept it, Aria. You have the power. You always have. You are the one who ended their lives. You are to be feared. You're the one who destroys. Embrace your strength. Embrace who you are.”I collapsed to my knees, and closed my ears with my shaking hands to block out that dark voice. “No, no, no.” I mumbled over and over.But the voice didn’t stop. It became even louder, forcing its way into my mind.“You are more than what you think. You are unstoppable. Powerful. The blood is your birthright. You will take what is yours, and you will make t
