Aria’s POV

I clenched my fists in annoyance.

“Stop calling Knox’s words ‘bullshit.’ I don’t appreciate that. He is my mate, and he is overprotective, but I love him for that.” I said firmly, refusing to answer to her question.

There was a long silence after my words, and I stood up from where I sat at the edge of the bathtub, fully expecting Jade to stay silent after that.

However, a low chuckle echoed in my mind, causing me to pause. Jade chuckled in amusement.

‘Now, this is what I am talking about. Refusing to take nonsense, and firmly shutting down any form of disrespect. I'm proud.’ She said, still chuckling.

“What?” I asked, even more confused.

‘I was taunting you, Aria. I wanted to see if you would get riled up, and shut down my disrespect, or if you would just roll over and let it slide.’ She replied, still sounding amused.

“Oh,” I muttered. I didn’t know what to say.

‘What you just did now just made me believe that there is probably some hope for you,” Jade teased, and I rolle

    Aria's POVHis body visibly tensed at my question. His jaw clenched, and his eyes avoided mine. “Aria… I—”“Don’t give me excuses,” I interrupted, keeping my voice firm even though. “I’ve waited. I’ve been patient, and I’ve never pressured you or brought it up. But every time you get close to doing it, you pull back. Why?”He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. “It’s not that simple.”“Then explain it to me,” I pressed. “Because right now, it feels like you’re holding something back. And I’m starting to wonder if you want to get a strong, powerful female to mark as your Luna, then keep me in the shadows as a kind of housewife mate.”It was so painful to think about.His eyes flashed with frustration, and for a second, they flashed red. “I will never do something like that,” he growled, his eyes darkening. “You’re my mate, my Luna, and my Queen. Always.”“Then why won’t you mark me?” My voice cracked slightly, no matter how much I tried to steady my voice.Knox stood abruptl

    Aria's POV“Keep that stance straight,” Hunter snapped, circling around me slowly with his sharp eyes watching me. “If your feet are off balance, you’ll be on the ground before you can blink.”I adjusted my footing, with a small groan. I was sweating, even though the early morning air was cold. Hunter's training was ruthless.“Better,” Hunter said coldly. “Now again. Faster this time.”He lunged toward me without warning. I barely had time to react, sidestepping his attack to avoid being hit.“Not bad,” he said, stepping back with a cold smirk. “At least you’re not as useless as I thought.”I glared at him, wiping sweat from my forehead. “Gee, thank you for the confidence boost.”Hunter chuckled darkly. “I’m not here to boost your confidence, Luna. I’m here to make sure you can survive.”I rolled my shoulders, preparing myself for another attack. I was getting used to his words. “Survive what exactly? You?”He paused, raising an eyebrow at me with an unreadable expression on his face.

    Aria's POVSurprise surged through me at his words. “What?” I gaped stupidly.An amused look crossed his face, but it disappeared so fast that I thought that I had imagined it.“I am sorry for my sister’s behaviour,” he repeated, then he sighed. “Please don’t tell the alpha about it.” He said.I was getting so surprised and confused that I couldn’t hold in my surprise. “What is causing the sudden change of mind? Did you suddenly grow a conscience, and decide that I didn’t deserve all the unnecessary hate? Why are you suddenly so scared that I would tell the Alpha?” I spat as annoyance flickered through me.What was his end game? Why was he acting this way?Hunter released a sigh, and he placed his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants.“The Alpha has come such a long way to finally becoming the Alpha King. It wasn’t an easy task, and there are so many people that will love to see him go down. But that day hasn’t come, and I doubt it will ever come.” He started.“When I found out that

    Aria's POVBefore I could even blink, Hunter threw a punch straight at my face. I barely dodged, stumbling back a few steps, almost losing my balance.“Too slow,” Hunter said, folding his arms. “Speed over strength, remember? You cannot win by overpowering anyone. Not with your build. You need to be faster, smarter—hit when they’re vulnerable and avoid attacks that’ll take you out in one shot.”I nodded, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. “Got it.”Hunter ran a hand through his hair. He wasn't even breathing heavily, or sweating. It wasn't fair. We had been training for hours, yet I was the only one looking like a mess.“We're done for today.” He said, glancing up at the sky that was getting brighter.I released a deep breath of relief, and relaxed my tense muscles.“Oh, thank the moon goddess.” I breathed, collapsing to my knees.Hunter stared down at me with an unimpressed look on his face.“Stop being dramatic.” He said flatly, handing me a water bottle.I took it from his h

    Aria’s POV“Good morning, Alpha Blackwood, Luna Blackwood”“Good morning, Your Majesties.”“Good morning, Alpha, Luna.”The whole clinic was surprised to see Knox there. From their reactions, it was clear that Knox hadn’t been here in a very long time.The healers and patients in the clinic watched with wide eyes as Knox walked beside me. Some had fear in their eyes, some had awe in their eyes, while the rest were just curious.Knox walked calmly beside me like he didn’t notice any of this, even though I knew he did.“You look very good in those jeans,” I muttered softly, giving him a sideways glance.“Really?” he asked with amusement in his voice.I nodded. “Yes. Why haven’t I ever seen you in jeans before?” I asked, leading him through the hallway.He shrugged. “I prefer suits, they make people look sophisticated.”I glanced at him again. “You don’t need a suit to make you look sophisticated, Knox. You could be naked and still look sophisticated,” I replied.Knox paused, and he grab

    Aria’s POVI walked to the training area with my heart pounding in anticipation. Hunter had told me yesterday that today’s session was going to be different. I was eager to see what was going to be different.Immediately I walked in, I was surprised to see two faces that I vaguely remembered. They were the muscular identical twins that had opened the large doors the day that Knox had announced me as the Luna Queen. I racked my brain, trying to remember their names. I knew they started with ‘X’, or was it ‘Z’.“Good morning, Your Majesty,” they both greeted in unison.“Good morning, Z... Zane, and Z... Zander? Right?” I asked, tilting my head, hoping I had gotten it right.Identical grins appeared across their faces, and they nodded eagerly. They looked pleased that I had remembered their names. “Yes, Luna.”“It’s so good to see you,” I said, with a warm smile on my face, as I shook their hands.I turned to Hunter, who stood there with his signature blank look on his face as he waited

    Aria’s POV “You’re pregnant.” The moment the words left Hunter’s mouth, the training field felt deathly silent. Even the twins, who had been laughing moments ago, stiffened. I gulped. “I thought Knox told you.” Hunter’s nostrils flared again, and he clenched his fist. “No, he didn’t.” His voice was calm, but there was a sharp edge in his tone that made me know that he was anything but calm. My mind flashed back to my discussion with Knox about telling Hunter my pregnancy. I had made him trust me that I was going to tell Hunter myself, but honestly, I hadn’t wanted to tell Hunter just yet. I didn’t want him to go too easy on me, but it had later skipped my mind later on to tell him. Zane and Zander exchanged nervous glances before they stepped back with panic in their eyes, like people that had unknowingly committed a crime. “We didn’t know, Luna—” Hunter shot them a glare, and they went silent instantly. He turned to me with an accusing glare. “And you still trained this way?”

    Aria’s POV I closed the door, my mind racing with several thoughts as I made my way to the chair beside his bed. “So, what is it, buddy?” I asked, placing my hand gently on his. Cole gave me a look, with a serious expression on his face. “I know what you did,” he said quietly. His words were unexpected, and my heart pounded as worry settled within me. What was he talking about? I furrowed my brows. “Cole? What are you talking about?” I asked. I placed the back of my hand on his forehead to check his temperature. “Are you sure you’re okay?” Cole gently removed my hand with a sigh that sounded far too mature for his age. “Yes, Luna. I’m perfectly fine, thanks to you.” He lifted his eyebrow with a pointed look in his eyes. ‘Busted,’ Jade whispered in my head. My eyes widened slightly as realization dawned on me. He was talking about the healing—what Jade had done through me. But I wasn’t about to admit it that easily. “Thanks to me?” I repeated, feigning confusion. “Cole, what ar

    Aria’s POVEverywhere was dark, but not in a scary way. The darkness felt familiar, like an old friend. I glanced around trying to find any form of light, but there was none.I could feel eyes on me from the darkness, but I didn’t feel threatened.“Hello?” I called into the darkness. But there was no response.“I know that you’re here. I can feel your presence.” I said to whatever was watching me in the darkness.Someone cleared their throat from behind me, and I turned slowly in that direction. However, I couldn’t see anything. If only this place was brighter. I thought to myself.Immediately that thought crossed my mind, the darkness disappeared, and everywhere brightened. I instinctively squinted my eyes, but there was no need. The brightness did not affect me.I was in a large white room. Everything was white, the walls were white, the floor was white, and the ceiling was white.A female stood before me with brown hair and sharp green eyes. There was something familiar about her.

    Aria's POVKnox paused for a moment, then he ran a hand through his hair as he released a sigh. “I didn’t think it mattered.” He said quietly, staring at the floor.I lifted an eyebrow in disbelief at him. “You didn’t think it mattered?” I asked incredulously, “You almost marked her, Knox!”Knox nodded slowly, lifting his eyes to meet mine. “Yes, I almost did. And it wasn’t because I had any feelings for her. Even when we were... a thing. I only cared for her like a friend.”“I lost hope of ever finding a mate, and I knew that I needed a Luna. So I decided to go with someone that I could tolerate. Someone that was close. Who better than my friend, who was the sister of my beta?” He added, keeping his eyes on mine.The pain in my chest twinged slightly, but I ignored it. “That still doesn't justify the reason why you kept it from me.” I said quietly, folding my arms.Knox nodded again. “Maybe.”I gave Knox another incredulous look again. “Maybe? You don’t think you were wrong?”He sighe

    Aria's POVAt this point, it almost felt like Liam and Veronica all over again.Shawn shook his head. “But Astrid… she never stopped wanting what she had lost. She lost her parents during a rogue attack, and their death anniversaries have always been difficult for her. I think what she does is to use her grief to get closer to him again.”My jaw clenched. I knew it. My mind flashed back to that smug smirk, and I sneered.‘Fucking bitch,’ Jade cursed in my head.“She knows he has a soft spot for her,” I spat. “And she’s exploiting it.”Shawn sighed. “It’s possible. But I don’t think the Alpha sees it that way. He just thinks he’s helping an old friend.”Old friend, my ass.I stood abruptly, and began pacing the room. “So what you’re telling me is that Knox, my mate, has been comforting his ex every single year? Even when they are no longer together?”Shawn hesitated. “Yes.”I turned to him sharply. “And he never thought to mention this to me?”Shawn leaned forward with a serious express

    Aria’s POV“Uhh…maybe I should come later,” Shawn said slowly, stepping back, “You look like you're not in a very good mood.”I released a sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Don't worry, I thought you were Cornelius.”Shawn furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Cornelius? What would he be doing here?” he asked, glancing around.“He suddenly had a change of mind, and decided that we both needed to work together for the betterment of the pack.” I drawled with heavy sarcasm dripping from my voice as I stepped aside for him to enter.Shawn winced slightly, as he stepped inside with a nod of thanks. “You’re really not in a good mood. What did you tell him?”“I called him out on his bullshit, and obviously, he didn’t like it. So he kept pounding on my door to tell me that I was going to regret it, blah, blah, blah,” I replied, rolling my eyes.A small smile crossed Shawn’s lips, “I would have loved to see his face when you did that.”However, I couldn’t find it in me to smile. “What do yo

    Aria’s POVMy fists were clenched tightly as I stormed down the hall. As I walked through the hallway, I could hear the whispers around me die down the moment the pack members around me sensed my foul mood.They stepped aside, immediately hurrying off after greeting.Good.I was two steps from my door when a voice called after me.“Aria, we need to talk!”I stiffened.Cornelius.His voice grated on my nerves. Wrong place. Wrong time. Wrong damn person.I kept walking, my jaw clenching tighter. Not today.“Aria!” he snapped, increasing his voice this time.I stopped for just a second. Then, with a scoff, I kept moving.Luckily, I reached my room, and I opened the door, and stepped in. Ready to slam it shut and shut him out.But before I could, he held the door, stopping it just before it could close.“Luna!” Cornelius barked, his eyes burning with annoyance.My grip on the handle tightened. Slowly, I lifted my gaze with a blank expression on my face, even though I was raging inside.“Re

    Aria’s POVI walked back to my room with a skip in my step, and a grin on my face. My meeting with Fenrir had been a very huge success, and even Knox couldn’t deny it.Knox walked beside me, shaking his head at the ridiculous smile on my face. “Come on, stop being so overexcited. It’s not a very big deal.”I snorted. “Oh, but it is. Because it means that in a few days, you’ll mark me. So, excuse me if I’m overexcited, Knox.” I retorted, my grin widening.Knox sighed, “You just saw the tame side of Fenrir. Trust me, when you see his wild side, you’ll understand what I’m trying to say.”I wrapped my arm around his. “You are not going to spoil my very happy mood, Knox.” I replied, leaning my head on his shoulder, and he chuckled in response.I thought nothing could ruin my mood.Oh, how wrong I was.The sound of sobbing reached my ears, and I could feel Knox tensing from beside me. “Astrid,” he muttered under his breath, his voice sounding concerned.Before I knew what was happening, he w

    Aria’s POVAs I got to the secret room inside Knox’s room, I frowned. Knox wasn’t here yet, even though I was ten minutes late. He had better not cancel today’s meeting like he did yesterday. I thought to myself with a scowl.I folded my arms as I tapped my foot impatiently, staring at the door, waiting for Knox to walk through it. However, after I waited for an extra ten minutes, I lost patience. I released a groan of annoyance. Knox must be trying to avoid this meeting. I wasn’t going to accept that.I stormed to the door, ready to search for Knox, to drag him over here for the meeting. However, the door opened as I reached it, and Knox walked in with a sheepish smile on his face.“Hey, I’m very sorry that I’m late.” Knox apologized, leaning forward to place a kiss on my lips, but I turned my head, and he kissed my cheeks instead.Knox cringed slightly, “I’m sorry, my little angel. I know I kept you waiting, but it wasn’t my fault. I was trying to console Astrid and–”“I’m sorry, wha

    Aria’s POV The man was barely conscious, and from what I could see. He was barely holding on. Cole’s words echoed in my head. “Think about how many people you could help.” I ran a hand through my hair as my mind raced with several thoughts. Could I really do this? I shook my head, and forced myself to continue walking. No, I was just getting ahead of myself. I couldn’t go around healing people. ‘These are not just people,’ Jade murmured in my head. ‘Some are fathers, mothers, children, and most importantly, they are your pack members.’ I paused with a frown on my face, genuinely surprised. “Woah, when did you suddenly grow a conscience, Jade?” I asked, glancing around to make sure no one saw me talking to myself. Jade chuckled sarcastically, ‘Oh please, I’m just trying to convince you to think about healing people.’ She admitted. I furrowed my eyebrows in curiosity. “Why?” ‘Why else? Because I want to get better at it.’ Jade replied. I released a small chuckle. “I should h
