I heard a knock on my door. Natalia got up from my bed right away.
"Come in," I ordered the person from outside while I place down my glassful of orange juice; I had barely drunk.
As my mother enters the room, she stared at Natalia seeing I was not alone.
"Miss Lila," Natalia greeted her and hurriedly went towards the door; wanting to give us some alone time.
"Natalia," I stopped her at the door. She turned around.
"Please come and check on me later," I told her, reminding her of our plan.
She nodded and went her ways, closing the door behind her.
"How are you feeling now?" Luna Lila inquired me as she sits on the side of my bed. "Are you still feeling pain?" she touched my forehead worriedly.
"A little, the medicine the doctor gave me is helping," I told her.
"That's good," she answered as she slowly moved her hand away from my forehead.
"I'm sorry that this is happening to you but sometimes things happen for a r
"Should I tell him to leave for he will be expecting you to accompany him tonight?" Natalia again asked me.As I lower my head. My tears streaking down my cheek fell onto the floor against my feet."So, do you want me to, I don't want to keep him waiting?" Natalia kept on asking me.I raised my head, staring at her with my tearful eyes. I could imagine seeing the face of my mom and mostly my dad staring at me disappointedly and turning their backs on me, based on my decision. I was afraid of them to disown me. I did not want to lose them. Still, I wanted to see Christian. I wanted to know if he had truly moved on with his life and had forgotten me.Yes, I was feeling the pain of rejection, the doctor told me about, and what it means. I did not care at all. I wanted to see for myself if Christian had another mate. I sadly covered my mouth as I cried imagining the girl, Christian is with and him being happy with her."Please I need to tell them now t
Tears streak down my cheek ruining my makeup. I quickly wipe away my tears and threw down my shoes onto the floor, placing my feet inside of them slowly. As I continued to stare at the red shoe dad had given me as a surprise. I suddenly recollected the day I was passing by the shoe store and saw the shoes been displaying through a large clear window. Laying my eyes on them for the first I wanted it, but I had used up all the money dad had given me to treat myself for the day. I could not buy them. I smiled as tears continue to flow from my eyes as I too remembered coming home as fast as I could to ask dad for the money in returning to purchase the shoes right away. Returning to purchase the red shoes I no longer saw them; someone else had bought them. I went home melancholy and told my dad the sad news. My dad left the house immediately; seeing how badly I wanted them.My sad face brightens with a smile as I recall dad entering my room with the shoes. I had jumped so much hap
I am making the right decision; I am making the right decision. I kept on telling myself as the van took us out of Starkland and onto another path towards Spicy Groove.The strong scent of the fruits and vegetables at the back of the van with us; hit our nose with the help of the strong night breeze. Allowing us to smell a sweet and fresh scent. Natalia clings to me finding warmth within the cape, she had instructed me to wear. I was happy I did. I stared at the road worriedly as the van took us further away about dad and mom decided to check on me again, within my room. I lower my head while tears filled my eyes begging the moon goddess that they do not."Hey!" Natalia and I turned to look as we heard the grey hair man calling us."I hope you don't sit and smash any of my hard-working behind there," he warned us about his goods. "Or I swear to the moon goddess I'll stop the van and let you both walk by foot to wherever you're going."I was surprised at w
"What is wrong, Natalia?" I again asked her as I hurriedly came off the bed heading towards her.Natalia covered her mouth as she started to cry and walked past me towards the bed while she shook her head repeatedly as if she were going insane. Look what I have cause to happen to my brother's love, I thought angrily as my mind went back home on how happy she was until I allow her to follow me here to be in trouble."Please tell me, Natalia, what is wrong?" I kept on asking her as she sat on the side of the bed while she lowers her head; allowing her long dark hair to conceal her face.She refused to answer me, continuing to cry. Seeing her so sad; I did not know what to do other than to cry as well and apologize to her."I'm sorry for what has happened to you, it's my fault," I cried as I stand before her."It's not your fault Aria," she said softly while she raised her head staring at me as tears too streak down her cheeks.I did not agree
My body jumped as I heard Natalia calling me. She was now awake. I turned around facing her at once."Aria, where are you going?" she asked me worriedly as she sat up onto the bed quickly."I'm going to the bathroom," I lied to her. Damn knowing what I was planning to do and that was to make the bastard pay for what he had done to her. I was not a good fighter as dad and my brother were, but I could not sit within the room and let him get away with what he had done to her."Let me follow you so he won't try to hurt you as well," Natalia said as she came off the bed coming towards me."You don't need to," I told her; wanting to go alone."I don't want you to go through the same thing that I've been through tonight Aria," she told me. " I don't think you'll be able to bear it as I do," she said sadly as she lowers her head; Still insisting on coming along with me."I've been through the worst Natalia," I told her. " And I have been sad so many
Arriving at Spicy Groove, where my one true mate was, I thought I would be happy, but I was not. Returning home and facing my parents was now an issue bothering me, as I thought about looking within dad's eyes; knowing how disappointed he will be with me for disobeying him. Sadly, I turned my head away from the window as I felt one of Natalia's hands around me. She smiled at me as I turn to her."Everything is going to be fine," she told me. Natalia was just as worried as I about returning home to face dad but still, she tries to cheer me up. I was happy I allow her to accompany me along the way, for I do not know how I would have managed."Yes," I answered her with a smile and turned my head back towards the window of the van; staring through it; feeling a little better. "I'm going to be okay," I whispered to myself. As I began to think excitedly of how Christian will react when he sees my human form. He will see how beautifully I have grown and take me back, rejectin
"Can I help you?" the dark hair she-wolf question us; curious as to why we were here. As she stares at us standing before her.None of us answered as we continue to stare at her as well. I suddenly started to feel a sharp pain within my stomach not being able to bear looking at her anymore. I clench my teeth within my mouth as the pain began to spread over my entire body becoming unbearable. I turned my back towards the she-wolf right away while tears started to streak down my cheek. I thought coming to find Christian and declaring my love for him would play out very well but seeing her was not easy. She seemed like a good she-wolf someone much better than me and what I did to Christian years ago I don't think he would want me back. So, dad and mom were right; moving on with my life and forgetting Christian was the right thing to do. It sounded difficult in doing so but I had to do it in forgetting him."Let's leave Natalia," I told her as I began to walk away heartbro
Sadly, I watched my tears as they escaped my eyes, falling onto the ground, leaving wet tiny spots within the dirt. Christian was not with the guard. He did not care that I came to see him. I closed my eyes tightly as I continue to lower my head. The terrible pain of rejection was unbearable, but it could never match how I felt being ignored by him."I'm sorry you have to go through this," Natalia again apologizes.I remain within the same position as if I were a statue. I again open my eyes; continuing to watch my tears sadly fall one by one onto the ground."You'll be staying at an apartment until your father and brother returns for you, alpha's order," I heard one of the new guards said.I slowly raised my head while tears run from my eyes, down to my cheek, at the two new guards who came instead of Christian: now standing before me.Why is he doing this? I thought as I started to cry hard. My tears suddenly stop flowing from my eyes as I am rem
Growing up, at a younger age my mom would tell me her romantic story of how she and dad met. I fell in love with their love story and would beg her to tell me every night before going to bed. I love her story so much that I could not wait to one day be old enough to find my one true mate; that every full moon, I would stare through my bedroom window and watch excitedly wolves and she-wolves being wandered off into the dark, having only the bright light of the full moon to guide them. Seeing them, I was even more anxious to turn eighteen and to too meet my next half. The wolf, the moon goddess has blessed me with to spend my entire life with.Before my mom died, she used to tell me, a one true mate is like an alpha, and that the only difference is that he may not have a pack he's destined to rule and protect, but a single wolf he's destined to love forever. I kept that quote with me forever and impatiently waited until I was of the rightful age, searching under the beautiful m
The driver opens the door and I exit the car. "I'll be back to pick you up at noon," the driver informs me as he closes the door of the car and went back within the car, driving off. "Is that how long I'm going to be here," I said surprisingly as I looked at the black car, I came in until I no longer saw it. I then reach for the letter within my pocket and saw that the car was supposed to meet me again at exactly noon. I quickly folded the letter, placing it back within my pocket, and hurriedly went into the building, entering through the large glass door. "Good morning miss Aria," a blonde hair lady greeted me as I enter the building, while she looked at me from head to toe. She looks as if she was within her early 30's. I was quite surprised that she knew my name then I realize, Christian must have told her the clothes I will be in when I get here. "You're Ciara, right?" I ask her. "Yes miss," she answers. "Please fol
Seeing Christian, I wanted to run inside and lock myself up within my room, but I couldn't move. My feet didn't want me to. It was as if my body was fighting against me; wanting me to speak to him. "I'll see you inside and please make the right decision," Ares told me as he went inside, leaving me all alone outside with Christian. Ares, I wanted to call, not wanting him to leave me alone with Christian, but my damn body didn't allow me to, that I started to curse myself angrily inside for how stupid I was. Allowing Christian to approach me. As Christian slowly got close to me, a terrible sad feeling rush over my entire body seeing the horrible condition he was in. His eyes look so tired like he hasn't slept the entire night, from the day I left. His eyes were red and had dark circles. His dark hair was let down and badly in need of combing. My heartache seeing the handsome man I've always known look so stress. As much as I too was going through a diff
"She killed herself when Christian and our pack were fighting for your safety within Lancaster," Ares told me how she died.My eyes widen and I stare within Ares's eyes, by the shocking news."Is it because Christian rejected her for me?" I inquire Ares curiously."No," Ares shook his head while he turns his head away from me, staring at the wall of my room."Then why did she do that?" I again inquire Ares; dying to know why she decided to end her life if it wasn't because of Christian rejection."She jumps through the window and broke her neck, leaving a letter that she had to do so because of alpha Lance," Ares told me. "She thought Christian could not save her from her ex and so she decided to end her life not wanting him to hurt her anymore."Immediately, I lower my head, not being able to take what was happening.I cry at her death; knowing how fucking terrible Alpha Lance was. He was heartless. As much as I was glad that he was
"Aria, Aria," I heard a soft voice awakens me from my sleep. Slowly, I open my eyes, and there I saw mom standing beside my bed with a silver tray containing my breakfast. "Morning," she greeted me as she places my breakfast on my bedside table. "Hmmmm..," I answer her as I slowly get up from my bed. I was quite surprised that it was morning, already. "Go and brush your teeth and get ready to eat your bowl of oats cereal before it gets cold," my mom told me. I nodded and slowly get out of bed, dragging myself lazily to my bathroom. As I enter my bathroom. I reach for my pink toothbrush and my toothpaste and gentle place the toothpaste on my toothbrush to brush my teeth. I turn on the pipe to wet my toothbrush and look within the mirror ready to brush my teeth. Seeing my red, puffy eyes within the mirror and how sad my life was. I burst out into tears. "Aria," my mom called me worried as she rushes into the bathroom to comfort m
I cry hard wishing the loss of my baby did not happen.If you didn't chase after him, you'd never have gotten within this position, and your baby would never have been conceived within this world and die before even seeing the beautiful world. I begin to curse myself angrily inside. Realizing the loss of my baby was not Christian fault alone. It too was mine.A terrible pain appears within my gut by the awful thought that I threw myself to the seat of the car, lying down, crying even more. Slowly, I move my hand away from my face not knowing what to do as I stare at the dark leathery roof of the car as if I was losing my mind."Oh, moon goddess," I begin to say repeatedly as I ran my right hand within my thick red hair and grab it angrily as if I was going to tear my hair out.It is so hard losing my baby that I didn't know what to do. Crying was useless. It only causes you to feel more pain. The only thing I could think of was to end my life. For what I
"I'm so sorry that this happened and that I could not save our baby in time," Christian told me as his hands touch my back."Don't touch me, don't fucking touch me!" I told him as I got up angry; allowing him to quickly move his hands away from me."I'm too angry as you, Aria, but being angry at me won't solve anything," the bitch had the nerve to tell me."You were the one who fuck me and got me within this position!" I shouted at him. "And if you didn't take away that alphas Luna, my baby would be here!" I again shouted at him.Christian sat silently on my bed and stare at me with great sadness within my eyes as tears too escape his eyes."I wish you weren't brought within this mess," he said sadly."It already happened and there's no point wishing it never did," I said to him angrily. "If I could turn things around, I would wish for you and your slut to die instead of my baby and for taking the punishment I took for you bitches."C
Aria's P.O.V"My baby!" I get up shouting while I hold my belly, finding myself on a large, bed, cover within a soft white sheet.My body suddenly jumps frighteningly seeing a white tape on my right hand and between it there was a thin transparent tube. I was on a drip. I stare at the drip shockingly, wondering what had happened, and continue to hold my belly, worried about my baby. Hoping that he or she is alright.Where am I? and why am I on a drip? I worried as I gently move my hands away from my belly and get off the bed; now standing on the floor of the strange room.As I stood beside the bed and begin to remove the tape and small piece of tube from my wrist to find Ares and dad, in finding out what had happened to me. As to why was I unconscious again and why was I within this strange place, instead of back home after they rescue me. I suddenly stop, removing the tube and tape from my hand, and stand still as if I was frozen. Regain
Suddenly, the door opens, Alpha Lance angrily pulls himself away from me."We have company from her pack?" I heard Apollo said to Alpha Lance.Ares and dad, I thought happily within my mind; hearing what Apollo had said."I'll get her to a place more secure and meet you and the other outside to kill those shits off," Alpha Lance told Apollo.Hearing what Alpha Lance had said, immediately I took up the fork from the plate and hid it under my dress before he could turn around to take me away from the room.As Apollo runs off, Alpha Lance came towards me and drags me from the floor."Your stupid family is fucking ruining things for me right now," he told me angrily, while he drags me hard by the shoulder."Hah...," I growl hard in pain."I'm going to put you somewhere where only I will know where you are," the evil alpha told me as he carries me downstairs and into a strange passage that looks like it had no end.As he did,
