The effect of the drugs was gone by the time I woke up,

Or it had fully kicked in; I wasn't clingy and irrational when my eyes opened.

But surprise awaited me in the form of Raine fully dressed for the party, her fingers rapidly firing against her phone.

"Raine? Why are you here?"

My hoarse voice held more than just those two sentences.

Why had she abandoned me like the others?

She looked guilty and all dolled up at the same time.

"I'm sorry, Aria. I didn't...know how to face you after coming into your cell with a knife. But.. I swear I wouldn't have...gone through with it. But Beta Ace commanded..."

I was up and wrapping my arms around her, my eyes misty as my chest filled with happiness.

"You didn't think I was a freak?"

She looked surprised when I asked that, her brows furrowed as she disengaged from the embrace.

"No, if anything, I thought...thought you would hate me."

My tiny fists hit her shoulders. "You should have just told me this instead of ignoring me all those weeks. Do yo

    "Thanks for helping me out with this, I must say your insight is perfect, as always."A professional smile I had practised many times in front of the mirror graced my features as reveled in Beta Luke's praise."You are welcome. I will be leaving for my lunch break now."His expression betrayed nothing but genuine gratitude."Alright. We will have this evaluated at the meeting with the Alpha in an hour's time. Inform your team members."As I walked out of his office, my right palm in the pocket of my palazzo pant, I smiled briefly at the wolves who acknowledged me with their greetings.Right, it had been three months since the blue moon. Three months since I last made a spectator of myself and burdened my Alpha.I had started receiving therapy the next day after the party, and true to Alpha Cole's words, the sessions had been so painful at the beginning.But I had persevered despite the difficulties, because I wanted to get better.I had given every attention to work and forming a pol

    We hit a classier bar renowned for its tight security, and even before I caught sight of the name, I knew...It belonged to Cole Roman.He seemed to be everywhere I went now; in my therapy sessions, office, home, and even where I wanted to fucking get drunk.Fuck him.I was sipping at my drink slowly, having declined every offer to dance when Raine returned with her own drink."Hey, you want to talk about what's bothering you?" She sat beside me, and I noticed that she hadn't bought an alcoholic drink.At least one of us was still rational.Did I want to talk about it?I shook my head. "No, but thanks."She would only laugh at me if she found out that I had gone and fallen for our Alpha.The ruthless Cole Roman who fucked two-three women every night didn't reciprocate the feelings of misplaced twenty year olds.He had been busy of late, travelling out of the country and strengthening our security.Raine had mentioned something about the council."Raine, do you...do you know who recomm

  • Alpha Cole's Inferno   Burning Inferno

    Finally... Months of thirst and Alpha Cole's lips against mine were oasis. There was only one phrase to describe the feelings of his lips colliding with me, that sinful wet tongue slipping into my mouth, his large palms cradling my small face, his body molding into mine; A burning inferno. I burned, for him. "Alpha..." I muttered against his mouth, his lips kissing and taking, his tongue gliding into mine, drawing a moan from me. I was flying, soaring in his arms, my fingers weak as I attempted to hold on to him. It was like a dream. "Hmm, baby..." He spoke against my lips, his harsh breath and body heat warming me up, my eyes shutting with the force of what I was feeling. My Alpha was kissing me like he had missed me. His fingers glided down my body with a kind of gentleness that almost made me weep, holding my waist as his tongue swept mine again. Fuck, it turned demanding. He slanted his head to the side, slamming his lips against mine with the force of a tornado. Then

    He was with me,Throughout the night,Chasing my fears away,But I was scaredThat it was all a dream. I woke up panting for breath, void of his strong arms which had been around me in my dream, But I was alone. Everything was hazy from last night, and I almost resorted to the possibility of it being a dream, But I perceived him in every damn part of my room. Like a drug I could never get rid of, I was excited and elated and high but worried as well, What if he had been playing another game? Or decided it was ill-advised and wasn't to be repeated? The thought of not having those arms around me and those lips plundering me till I soared to the moon filled me with dread. I took my time picking my outfit for the day, and although I rarely wore make-up to work, I indulged myself in wine red lipstick. I hadn't needed concealers for my dark circles; I had slept like a baby in the arms of my Alpha. A blush filled my cheeks with colour as I thought of last night, those words of affi

  • Alpha Cole's Inferno   Turbulence

    My heart and body had become the home of storm. As I sat across my Alpha at a table decorated with flowers, my ears made for the sound of the sea and his resonating deep voice, I still feared that it was all a dream. Good things didn't just happen unless as the deceptive calm before the storm. But his eyes betrayed nothing I was afraid of and he wasn't... "This wasn't the reaction I expected. Do you not like it? I would have chosen another location but I wanted us to have privacy..." I shook my head, pushing back the strands of hair that the breeze had blown to my face. "No, it's perfect." I replied, my voice more emotional and soft than I bargained for. He halted the act of pouring wine for both of us, and looked up, giving me his full attention. For months I had dreamed of those eyes to be focused on me alone, but now it was happening and I just couldn't believe it. "Then, is it...something I did?" I bit into my cheeks, plagued by the uncertainty in his voice. It was too

    Fuck,Alpha Cole was made of steel, and each touch of his body against mine made me feel like I had been electrified."Do you want me to spread your legs and eat you out, baby?"My response was a useless whimper of incoherent words, a gasp escaping my mouth as his rough masculine fingers held my thighs firmly, and set me in a spread-eagle position.Then he reached for my peach lacy panties and yanked down my thighs, my gaze unsteady as I stared at him with lust-filled eyes.They were damp with my wetness."Fucking beautiful..." His voice was a low growl, turning me inside out to a level of arousal I hadn't been aware of its existence.And he wasn't even touching me yet.He was still staring at my pussy which I was sure was glistening with all the wetness dripping from my core.I could even feel the stickiness in my thighs, and smell my own potent arousal.And from his gaze, and chest heaving in upward and downward motion, he could smell and see it as well.I appreciated the look in his

    It was becoming a ritual. I stretched out my hand as the first waves of consciousness hit me, but I was met with emptiness. A sigh of disappointment left my lips, my eyes blinking repeatedly to adjust to the lights. I started to sit up, a blush tainting my cheeks at the realisation that I was as nude as could be, save for the skirt that had ridden up my waist. Where had Alpha Cole gone this time? I hoped to hell that he hadn't suddenly embarked on another business trip and gotten off the ship entirely. As I reached for my jacket whose buttons had all been ruined in the heat of the moment, my eyes caught sight of the other big jacket that belonged to Alpha Cole. It covered a good part of my thighs and practically swallowed me whole, but it would do. My feet padded bare on the floors, grateful for the rugs which generated warmth as I climbed the short stairs, my hair tousled and blown about by the wind. It was night, and I couldn't help but wonder what the time was. Were we

    'Protocol for relating with the Alpha of your pack after you've kissed?'***The internet was useless at times like this. I ended up clearing my browsing history in case someone like Raine happened to decide to use my phone for something.I didn't have time for explanations.Besides, I wasn't aware of what we were now that we had kissed and gone on a date.Returning to the pack house last night reminded me once again that he was my Alpha, the formidable leader of the feared Shadow-Walker pack.He hadn't promised to call or text or asked me to meet up, and I had tossed in bed, wondering what would happen now.Thankfully, I had woken up to a Saturday morning when I didn't need to go to work, although we had pack training which would last for two hours,And of course, Holly hadn't gotten tired of being the same old stereotypical bitchy villainess."Aria, shift and run two hundred laps across the May Field forests."

    One Year Later The theme tonight was celestial. Just like the baby whose lips were attached to my breasts, suckling greedily as though it were a contest. "Oh goddess!

Planning a mating ceremony and my official inauguration as Luna was bound to drive someone crazy. Now she was glaring at the baby she always came to babysit early in the morning! Raine chuckled beside me where she was protecting the dress I had already worn from getting soiled by my milk. "The little monster won't stop eating! Are you sure she isn't a dragon? Oh shoot! The Royal entourage has arrived!" I exchanged glances with Raine and we both laughed inwardly, none of us daring to speak to the crazy planner. Tonight, she wasn't our sweet Ms. Genevieve. "Hey! If that little monster ruins the dress that cost a whole building, I will abduct and send her back to the moon goddess!" Rig

    Being pregnant had been my dream, But if I thought my Alpha was protective before, then I had something else coming for me now. "Oh no, baby, this is too dangerous for your health. Horse riding, swimming, dancing..." "Do you have to go to the office today? I just had a little talk with the general director and you can work from home... You can also..." Okay, I loved my mate, but this was absolutely driving me crazy! And oh dear, he wasn't the only one who had been driving me insane over the past few weeks. My best friend, Raine, had been following me around with that mischievous grin on her face ever since Alpha Cole marked me. "I can't believe you guys were totally fucking when security found you! Were you at least dressed at all? Oh shoot! But wait, do I have to address you as Luna now?" "Let's go shopping for baby clothes. I can't wait to be a godmother, I will spoil this little munchy munchy cute baby wolf." Then they all proceeded to touch my stomach, which was still

He communicated to me again, his voice deeper, his aura more chilling.But hell, his wolf was damn beautiful.Huge and gigantic with grey and black furs complementing dark hazel eyes.His prance was all predatorial, like a dark dangerous panther charging towards me.'Get the fuck away from here, Aria!' The growl was angrier now, more intimidating, spreading those high Alpha pheromones that threatened to make me dizzy and sleep...Oh, this was what had knocked the security out.He was spreading it higher and higher as he got closer to me, looking more enraged and dangerous.But he had called me by my name.He wiggled his tail and lifted his arrogant head, howling in a loud piercing manner and spreading more of those pheromones..."Stop!"He halted immediately, both of us surprised and in shock.I had...shouted at him, and he...listened?But hell, judging by his expression, he wasn't sharing my

    The blue waters from the sea were tainted with thick blood,Red and blue mingling under the brightness of the full moon.And when I fell into the water, my own blood spreading and sinking with me,I felt a glow on my skin, as though the moon and I had become one.My eyes were fluttering shut, my fingers uselessly fumbling over my stomach.It was too late, that sword had pierced into the depths of my flesh and taken... our pup.I shut my eyes completely, willing the tears to join the other liquid, the blood of all the massacred flesh calling to the moon goddess.I was dying, drowning, withering, but a firm hand clasped tightly to mine, and a voice as familiar as my own skin whispered my name,Aria.My eyes snapped open to beeps from all directions sounding in my ears, white colours threatening to blind me.The walls and high technological medical equipment were all white, coupled with the doctors and nurses dressed in their white uniforms who were hovering over me.Then one of them fla

    "This is the military in collaboration with the Royal council of warriors, release the hostage or we open fire!" A loud voice rang out over the air.But a low demonic chuckle tore from Cage's lips. "How about this, you move an inch, and the hostage dies." And to emphasise what he meant, he pushed me into the deck and followed, his palm wrapped around my throat.My heart was racing as I stood in the middle of the sea, a tear escaping my eyes the moment I caught sight of Alpha Cole, standing at the deck of the ship closest to us.The full moon shone its rays on him, his disheveled appearance making my heart beat fast.I wanted to cry at how much I had missed him, how relieved I was to see him even if it was going to be for the last time.He had come to rescue me, but all those assailants suddenly appeared from nowhere, their ships surrounding Alpha Cole's crew.Then Nathan laughed, throwing back his head as he joined us on the deck."Oh fuck! I'm enjoying this."I stared at my Alpha w

    AriaI was pregnant, with Alpha Cole's kid.My fingers had been on my stomach for the past few hours after Cage delivered that news, mixed emotions surging inside me.It seemed surreal and too good to be true, but on the other hand, what would be the fate of this pup when I had just written off a farewell note to my Alpha?Goddess,Nathan hadn't disguised any of the rage he felt for me, and when he wasn't smoking and cursing me and Alpha Cole, he dragged me by the hair and slapped me, calling me a slut.I had cried and wished to turn back time, to return to that time at the party and stop Alpha Cole from walking away.Now he probably believed I had jilted him for Nathan and he may never learn of the existence of this life we had created.I rubbed my stomach gently, resting my face against the cold walls the repugnant smell of smoke and drugs making me lightheaded.I was pregnant, yet tears were still trickling down my cheeks, the drops of liquid wetting the floors."Hey bitch, you gon

    Cole"Alpha, this is dangerous. You've already had more dosage than..."Colours flashed in my head, and I was moving swiftly and wrapping my fingers against my beta's throat."Keep. Your. Opinions. In. Your. Ass." I could feel my muscles rippling from my arms, the veins and tendons threatening to make me snap, the heightened adrenaline pumping in my blood.But I didn't give a fuck.It was all my fault. If only I hadn't walked away, if I had controlled the irrational jealousy I had started to feel, Aria wouldn't have been gone by now."Okay, okay. I'll call the nurse." My beta muttered, his veins popping out from the force of my fingers on him.When I was sure that my message had been well received, I released my hold on him and moved back, aware of the trembling of my own hands, the way my entire body was out of control.I hadn't slept a wink for the three nights she had suddenly gone missing, and I had been an ass to everyone around me, fed up with the incompetency of my security.

    In that dreaded vision of my worst nightmare, my own body was found, massacred, and dead, But I wasn't the only one who died in that dream, but the life which had been forming in my womb, And my Alpha.It was the recurrent dream I'd had that night, the second one that had driven me to finally driven me to open up to Alpha Cole about what I had seen when he was shot.In the memory of the assailant I had touched, Alpha Cole was running towards me with a gun to protect me, but it was already too late,Because I was already shot at that moment by a masked man, and as I fell on my knees, blood seeping from my body, a long sword was driven into my stomach,Then bullets from all directions made holes in my Alpha's flesh, his blood spilling on my immobile body.And with our last breaths, we called each other's names.***My head hurt, a familiar scent infiltrated through the room, and I felt boneless and exhausted as I tried to adjust my eyes to my environment.Through my blurry vision, I c
