Aria’s POV “Come on, Aria. You’re pregnant. You can’t still be thinking of going for training.” Knox murmured sleepily the next morning when I woke up to prepare. I released a small laugh. “I am pregnant, not disabled.” Knox groaned. “But you passed out yesterday.” He mumbled. I shrugged. “After you left, I was feeling like a mess after, and I couldn’t sleep that night. That was why I passed out yesterday. Not because I was pregnant.” Knox groaned again. “You are so stubborn.” He grumbled as he sat up on the bed, rubbing his face with his palm, “I would love to come with you to tell Hunter to take it easy, but I know you might not appreciate that. So please tell Hunter that you’re pregnant, so that he will reduce your workload.” At his words, I paused. I was surprised. The Knox of before wouldn’t have even allowed me to step a foot outside if he knew I was pregnant. He hadn’t even insisted that he come tell Hunter himself. Knox noticed the look on my face, and a small smile cros
Aria’s POV~Eight days later~Every morning, as I woke up to prepare for training with Hunter, I could sense Knox’s disapproval. But true to his word, Knox had never tried to force me to stop. Sometimes, he would accompany me to the training area, before he went off to do only God knows what. We had both agreed that I would stop the strenuous activities when I got to the third month of the pregnancy, as werewolves’ pregnancies were only for five to six months.However, training with Hunter was getting frustrating. Hunter only made me run, nothing more. Yes, my speed and endurance had increased greatly; I wanted to move to the other part, the fighting part.I rolled my eyes as I ran. This was the fourteenth lap, and I felt like my body was going to break down at that moment. On the fifteenth lap, my legs were shaking so badly that I had to stop running to avoid falling down.As usual, Hunter handed me a bottle of water with a cold look on his face. Today, I was so annoyed that I ignore
Aria’s POVCole had been brought here eight days ago, the same day that I started working at the pack clinic. He always had a large grin on his face when he spoke and chatted with the other healers.I can still remember the look of awe on his face when he saw me. “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it, it’s you. The Luna Queen.” He had exclaimed in pure joy and excitement that tugged at my heart.However, when I was told of his condition, the first thing I wanted to do was distance myself from him to avoid getting hurt. He was going to die soon. It would only upset me if I allowed myself to get close to him.Cole, however, kept asking to see me, and eventually I had to give in. Every day, I always spent at least an hour with him, answering his questions or just keeping him company.“Is the Alpha King really heartless as they say?” he murmured shyly one day as I propped up the pillows behind him to make sure he was comfortable.I paused slightly at his question, and I released a small laugh.
Aria’s POVThe room was full of tension. Two healers stood beside him, monitoring his vitals, while his parents stayed with him for support. I couldn’t help but notice that everyone in the room kept glancing at the clock as his time got closer.“L...” He struggled to speak, looking in my direction with drooping eyes.The other people in the room turned their attention to me, before they continued what they were doing after giving me small bows.I gave him a small smile as I approached his bedside. “You’ve always been so stubborn. I told you to rest and save your strength.”His eyes glinted with amusement, but he couldn’t form the words. I knew what he wanted to say. Then he gave me a questioning look. “Al.....Ki...” He mumbled weakly.I nodded. “Yes, I’ll make sure I introduce you to the Alpha King.”Cole had made me promise that when he died, I would introduce him to the Alpha King. It had been a very strange request, but there was no way I was going to say no to his request.The lig
Aria's POVI began imagining scenarios where Jade took over, and began living my life.Jade scoffed. ‘With how boring your life is, I’m not interested. No, thanks.’“Stay away from my thoughts,” I snapped.‘Tick tock, Aria. Time is going.’ Jade reminded me.I glanced at the clock. Ten minutes left...Oh, moon goddess, please don’t let me make a mistake that I would regret.“Alright, tell me what you need, Jade” I stated as determination coursed through me. It was time to save Cole.‘Just you. You just need to make a verbal proclamation, and the rest is from my side.’ Jade replied.I nodded, taking a deep breath as I prepared to do something strange.‘Repeat after me,’ Jade muttered, ‘I, Aria Blackwood,’“I, Aria Blackwood,” I repeated.‘Give full control to Jade in my right mind.’“Give full control to Jade in my right mind.” I repeated.‘So mote it be.’ She said“So mote it be.” I repeated.I glanced at the clock. Five minutes left...“Is that all, because I don’t feel any differe–”
Aria's POVLiam clinked his glass with a spoon and a handsome smile on his face “Can I have everyone's attention please?”.Everyone paused and gave him their full attention, including me. I was supposed to be serving drinks at the party, but I couldn't resist watching HIM.Liam Reed, the son of the Alpha of the Grey Moon pack, and my mate.I knew I had a stupid smile on my face, but I couldn't help it.Many times, I wondered how I got so lucky, how an omega like me got blessed with an alpha-to-be for a mate, an alpha that loved me so much.“Aria…” my friend, Claire whispered harshly, trying to grab my attention.I blinked my eyes as I came out from my daydreaming. I was still holding a tray of drinks in my hands.“You're supposed to be serving drinks, not drooling over Liam Reed” she teased.I rolled my eyes jokingly, “I'm not drooling,” I replied, but I got distracted again when Liam started speaking.“Today is a very special day for me and for this pack.” Liam stated, and my heart s
Aria's POVMy heart broke all over again, but I forced myself to walk towards them. There must be an explanation for this."Liam," I called softly, my voice was barely above a whisper.They broke apart, and Liam's brown eyes met mine. However, there was no surprise or guilt in his gaze, only annoyance. I looked at his handsome face, the face of the man that I loved. He had a chiseled jawline, beautiful brown eyes, shaggy brown hair and a lean but slightly muscular build. However, it felt like I was looking at a stranger at that point.Veronica looked at me with disdain, and her eyes were filled with mockery. She must have known that I and Liam were fated mates."I need to talk to you, Liam," I said, trying to keeping my voice steady. "Privately."Veronica tightened her grip on Liam's arm and she sneered. “Look at how gutsy you are. Liam is with his mate and you want to see him privately. What a whore! Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of me," she declared, crossing he
Aria's POVI ran for a long time, and I saw myself in the human town somehow far from the pack.Without thinking twice, I walked into a bar. I needed a good distraction from my thoughts.I quickly approached the counter and ordered a drink, at that moment I didn't care what it was. I just needed something to dull the pain I was feeling.I must have been looking like a mess because the bartender gave me a look of pity and handed me a glass. I swallowed it quickly, it burned my throat and I coughed.I ordered another drink, and then another. With each glass, the pain in my chest faded little by little. It was replaced by numbness and drunkenness.At one point, I was able to forget. Forget Liam, forget Veronica, forget the lies and the broken bond.But I was a werewolf, even though I was an omega. So the human alcohol didn't really stay long in my system.I signaled for another stronger drink, because I wanted to keep drowning out the pain over and over.The bartender eyed me with an odd

Aria’s POV “Knox,” I said firmly, with a determination that I didn’t know I had in me. Knox kept his gaze down, avoiding my eyes, as he stood behind his chair at the head of the table. I pursed my lips for a moment, before I walked towards him with a frown on my face. “Knox, we need to talk. Honestly, it is hurtful to find out that you don’t trust me. How could you make such statements? You called my child – our child, a bastard. You accused me of cheating! That’s too low, Knox!” I snapped, and my voice shook, no matter how I tried to keep it steady. “I’m sorry,” Knox mumbled, still not meeting my eyes. I blinked in surprise, and my mouth opened and closed a few times in shock. “What?” Knox lifted his head slowly to meet my eyes. His eyes were wet and remorseful. “I shouldn’t have said all those things. I’m so sorry.” I took a step back with a furrow on my eyebrows. “Hold on, are you apologizing?” I couldn’t help but ask. I thought it would take a lot of arguments and explanati
Aria’s POV The other members of the council immediately began applauding and cheering. A small smile crossed Knox’s face at that, and I decided to take it as a good sign. I glanced at the faces of the people on the table. Cornelius looked like he had tasted something sour. Hunter had an unreadable look on his face, while Shawn had a very broad grin on his face as his eyes shone with excitement. Knox stood up, and every other person stood up also. “Please let me introduce my mate, my Luna, the Luna Queen, Aria Blackwood!” He announced, his voice echoed through the room. The cheers increased, and a chair was added to the table, right beside Knox at the head of the table. Hunter sat on the right side of the head of the table, while Shawn sat on the other side, then Cornelius sat beside Hunter. After introducing every one of them, my mind raced as I tried to remember all their names. Because it would be a huge embarrassment if I mixed up one person’s name with another. Though I might
Aria's POV Immediately I got to my room, I took a shower, and got dressed with determination in my mind. I was going to find Knox. I had given him enough time to think and process. If he still thought that I cheated on him, then it meant there was no trust between us, and I was just wasting my time. The first place I checked was his room, and the secret room in his room. Just like the last time, I wondered how he slept in this room. It had no bed, no furniture. Nothing. A small smile crossed my lips when I remembered my meeting with Fenrir in the secret room. I checked this office next, and after knocking for several minutes without any reply, I decided to check the training area. As I made my way there, I spotted Hunter standing in a hallway, making a phone call. I needed to thank him for taking me to the clinic even though I knew he abhorred me. I approached him slowly, to make sure he was done with the phone call. I cleared my throat to get his attention. “Beta Hunter,” He tu
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,
