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! The guests are already gathered here! I thought she ate ten minutes ago!" Genevieve was having a fit, but I couldn't blame her. 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
"I will love you forever, my mate. I will never put anything above you."A promise we made to each other beneath the full moon, drenched in the heat of each other's bodies after we made love for the first time.***I had never seen my sister this excited since the night I was mated to Nathan, the future Alpha of our pack, the Silver Moon."Aria, you are so getting this dress, imagine walking into the main pack house with the flowers on the floor making your brown eyes pop, you will be the most beautiful gifted bride ever! Oh you will so make a good Luna and put that bitchy Ella to shame!"Gifted Aria, the people in my pack refer to me in those words.Ever since it was discovered that my dreams always came to pass, I had been treated as a special wolf and sent to the most prestigious school.It also benefitted my father, the beta. Our entire family was respected and the Alpha treated my father like an equal.I was blessed, and I never took it for granted that my gift was supposed to be
Two Weeks Later"Move it, Aria! You're needed in the VVIP room!"An exiled beta's daughter, a rejected mate.A fallen wolf.There were only a few establishments that risked employing unfortunate people like me; places like casinos where I was currently doing the job that didn't require a special identity.A waitress."Okay Ms. Green." I replied our manager and grabbed the drinks, heading to the elevator where my fellow waitresses were already."Hey." I greeted them when I came in, but as usual, they ignored me and kept talking about the group of hot Alphas who had come in for the night.Somehow, news of my true identity had travelled fast in the casino and reached everyone's ears. While our manager who employed me hadn't given two shits about it, the same couldn't be said for my co-workers.They started avoiding me like plague, and whispered 'freak' when they clearly knew I could hear them.Like now."Tina, you may not want her skin to touch yours else she will rat you out to the mana
"Will...you kill me, sir?" Stuttering that statement was the best thing I could come up with at the moment.Given what I had heard about the Alpha of Shadow Walker pack, forgiveness wasn't one of his qualities.Untamed handsome features, intense gaze which threatened to knock me off the seat... Those were only parts of his many qualities. A devious smirk glinted in his eyes, and he leaned into the seat, making himself comfortable as though he weren't bothered by the situation. I had listened in on a conspiracy to murder the Alpha King, now he was going to kill me."That depends on how this discussion goes. Answer my question. Why do you understand a confidential language? Who are you?" A former member of the Silver Moon pack who had been training to be Luna since I turned eighteen.The daughter of an ex-beta...Everything I had been before was over.I was...no one."I'm Aria Smith, sir. I...work here."At the moment, I realised it was the only identity I had; my name, and the occu
The Shadow Walker pack house was state of the art! Luxurious, spacious and craftily designed, the only building I had ever seen which came close to it was the Royal Pack House. "Let me help you, Ms." One of the moving men who had come to my house in a big moving truck offered to carry the only luggage I had, a mini rolling box. "Thanks." I replied, adjusting my sweater against the night cold. Whatever they had thought I had in my tiny apartment when they came with that gigantic truck, it had been echoing in emptiness when they transported me and my bag to the Shadow Walker pack house. In my disoriented state, I had only thrown in a few clothes, underwear, books and footwear before leaving my former pack in shame and tears. It still didn't seem real that I was now a member of a new pack, but I signed a couple of documents a few hours ago and now stood in front of a magnificent building. The older lady who had introduced herself as Genevieve and offered me the contract stood
Cole's P.O.V. "I still don't get it, why didn't you kill her?" My beta's eyes were drawn together in confusion as he sat cross-legged in my office. I couldn't blame him, even I was surprised at how I had acted. Normally Ms. Smith would have been disposed of quietly after learning what she did. "What if she goes ahead to betray you? Heard she has met the Alpha King before." I adjusted the diamond watch on my wrist and a matching ring which graced my finger. "She won't." I simply replied my beta, Ace. It was that simple; I had just felt that she wouldn't rat me out upon setting my eyes on her and it had nothing to do with how much I had scared her. "Alpha, you've never taken chances or been this impulsive. You just accepted her into the pack; does that have to do with her connection to the Silver Moon?" I raised a brow, tapping my fingers on the table. Ace was my right-hand man, the beta of my pack and the Vice Chairman of the Roman Corporation. We didn't go around mentioning
Aria "I...thought you said it's a se... sex club, sir?" I was mortified, it was only a moon ball and I had been nervous for nothing! All through the car ride, I had been sweating as I sat beside Alpha Cole, and it didn't help that his scent was a hell of a distraction. All I had been able to think of were his powerful thighs crossed beside me, and big rough fingers working on the laptop. "I gave you that scenario to prepare you for the worst. Take this." He handed a ball mask over to me, which I took with shaky fingers, a shiver running through me as his palm made contact with my skin. He was magnetic and alluring in that crisp luxurious suit and sleek hair which had been pulled in a low bun. Long hair suited him in an untamed erotic way, and I pulled my eyes away when I realised I was staring. And he had caught me. My cheeks were on fire, and I sucked in a deep breath, following him up the stairs as he pulled the mask over his face. "Your task tonight is simple, listen to a
"How...long have I been out of it?" My voice was a wretched whisper; crooked and low. My throat was so dry and my body felt numb from lying down for a long time."Seven days, Ms. Smith." The nurse replied, and reached for her phone, typing something.A week of lying down after...Losing my baby...My hands rested on my stomach of their own volition, and tears started to well up in my eyes again. It was my fault for not knowing my own body properly; I had stupidly shifted many times and endangered my pup. "Don't think about anything now. Don't worry, the Alpha instructed us to put you on anaesthetics so it won't hurt." The nurse with kind eyes told me, and I nodded although the tears wouldn't stop falling. I had lost my family, my mate and now... My pup. It wasn't any fault of this innocent child who had been unlucky to be born in the womb of an ignorant, cursed wolf. Why did I have to be given that curse of prophecy which had taken everything from me?I cried harder."Ms. Smith

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
Warning: Beast/human form sexual relations'I fucking asked you to run. Hide, little wolf.' 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
One Month Later"It's a custom made dress, took us close to two weeks to make it, but as the Alpha said, he of course wants only the best for Aria.""Guys! That's nothing at all, do you know that the general kitchen had been commissioned to be demolished and rebuilt just because Aria may be traumatised to see it?""Or is it the way Alpha Cole ignores everybody as soon as sweet Aria comes in?" Oh dear, I face palmed myself as I listened to my best friend and Genevieve converse about me as if I wasn't there.But the makeup artist wasn't going to have it."Please, I need this to be perfect.""Or someone will have your head!" Of course it was no one else other than. Raine, and she and Genevieve laughed loudly, making fun at my expense.It had been this way for the past one month, the evil witches made comments about me and Alpha Cole,And no matter how many times I pretended to be pissed off, the little devils didn't stop.I gave them the middle finger, my cheeks flaming red.Genevieve l
