"So, now what? If I have to express my emotions and I don't know how to, what can I possibly do?" I asked, the frustration in my chest only increasing with each passing minute.Ravenna brought her nails close to her face, cleaning off the imaginary dirt underneath them. "Well, I'll advise you to be patient in your interactions with Aria. Do less talking and more listening. That way you can mirror the emotions she shows and maybe learn from them to become more... Vulnerable yourself." She spoke simply. That should be easy, I was a great listener. I rarely spoke unless when I had something that I really needed to say. However, Ravenna wasn't finished and continued. "Also, I'll suggest you open up and quit out-vamping other vampires. Learn to trust Aria too and loosen up and quit being so stuck up." She seemed a bit bitter when she said all that.I arched an eyebrow, giving her a questioning gaze. As much as I valued our friendship and bond, her words were becoming too insulting."I t
Everyone present turned their heads in the direction of the entrance to the mansion.However, without looking back, I already knew who it was."Sublime timing, little wolf," I muttered to myself and couldn't help smirking. I slowly let go of Orion's fists and turned to look back as well. Aria..."Sylvain, what are you... What are you doing?" She asked with a shocked expression as she stepped down the stairs leading into the mansion. I blinked as I scrutinized her. She had her black hair flowing at the left side of her chest, just over her bosoms which were only slightly exposed. She wore a black shirt with long sleeves and a black form-fitting jean trouser. To my surprise, she also wore heels and moved elegantly in them. She walked towards us with a confidence that I found oddly alluring. However, it seemed that confidence faltered as soon as our gazes met. Her round cheeks reddened but she quickly closed her eyes and cleared her throat. Anyway, I placed my hands behind me and an
As soon as I voiced my question, Aria paused in her tracks. I'd gotten in front of her so I paused as well when I noticed her hesitation.I turned my head to scrutinize her face under the white light of the lanterns lining up the compound here and there. However, she looked away and sighed. "Do you really want to hear all that? I mean, no offense, but you're old. Or at least, that's what you said." She shrugged before adding. "Would you be able to understand the relationship dilemma of youngsters like Orion and me?"I arched an eyebrow when she finally turned her gaze to me, her eyes flickering with hesitation. "Seriously? Just because I'm 'old' doesn't mean I can't relate to your problems. Especially because we're..." I paused, taking a few steps closer to her until I was just a few inches away from her. I brought my hands to her hair, my eyes searching her face before I completed my statement. "... Connected."Her heartbeat increased just then, but her eyes were still locked on mi
The fact that she kissed me wasn't what shocked me the most. The fact that I kissed her back also wasn't what shocked me the most. However, the fact that we were doing this, out here in the open where anyone from the Alpha's house could just walk by and see us... That had me stumped. This was the same girl who was shy when I brought my face a little too close to her in school. But I guess she was more confident now because it was nighttime. Anyway, as we kissed under the light of the full moon, something awakened in me that I thought would be dead for a long time. A desire that I hadn't had in centuries. My insides burned with desire and it didn't take long for me to feel a sensation rising underneath me.Our tongues collided in a hot passion that threatened to consume me. I was so lost in the euphoria of the moment that I didn't realize her slowly bringing her hands to my hardened manhood. But when I finally did, my eyes snapped open and I pushed her away. She looked shocked, her
ARIA***After the horrid and oddly erotic dream, I woke up and realized something shocking.My Chaos wolf was active! After so long, I could finally feel her beyond just 'existing' inside me.However, she was quite the snub, even more than my Rogue and Mystik wolves."Come on, Chaos. Say something." I groaned dramatically, pleading with the unruly wolf to talk all to no avail.Realizing that getting her to speak would get me nowhere, I sighed before glancing at the time.Shit, it was almost nine PM! That was the time Sylvain and I agreed to meet. In a panic, I got up and rushed to my wardrobe to get something to wear. I'd picked out a lot of clothes before I slept off, but my Nightshade wolf who seemed the most enthusiastic about this 'date' with Sylvain, disapproved of all of them.However, my eyes caught an outfit just then. It was a black jeans trouser that looked like it was going to be really tight, as well as a long-sleeved shirt with a round neckline.I picked out the clothe
"Oh my gosh, be so for real right now!” Elizabeth squealed the next morning in school when I told her everything that happened the previous night with Sylvain. I panicked, bumping her with my shoulder after looking around. We were in the hallway, making our way to class, and to my dismay, the hallway was packed with students. "Could you keep it down?" I whispered to her, sighing with frustration. "Yes, everything I told you happened. Why would I be lying?" I rolled my eyes. She nodded, trying to compose herself even though her eyes were shining with excitement. She held my shoulder, forcing me to glance at her. "Girl, I'm so proud of you. You made the first move and actually kissed him. If someone had told me you'd do that when I first met you, I would've laughed at them." She giggled like an over-stimulated teen at the end. Probably because she was one... Meanwhile, as soon as she said that, my face heated up with embarrassment. Oh, I'd forgotten to tell her that I tried to do
I yanked my hand out of Elizabeth's grip, stunning her. But I ignored that and turned my gaze to Cassandra."What did you just say?" I asked, my anger reaching a new peak.The girl scoffed, eyeing me with mock sympathy. "I only told the truth. I mean, your relationship with Orion has always been doomed to fail, no offense." She said with that annoying high-pitched voice of hers.No offense? She said something like that and added 'no offense’?My jaw clenched before I spat. "And you call what you have with him a 'relationship'? Girl, wake up, he's just using you as a sex doll for his selfish desires. And you being the simp you are, shamelessly cling to him like a leech even after you knew he was my boyfriend."Our altercation had already begun attracting the attention of nearby students. A collective gasp was released from most of them, almost making me back down. But I resisted that urge. There was something else, something chaotic burning inside me and telling me to bite off this bi
When Orion finally made his way through the crowd and got to the scene, he only stood to watch me for a few seconds before going to Cassandra's side and helping her up.She groaned, pointing a finger at me with a maniacal glare. "That little bitch assaulted me! We should have her arrested." She snarled.Sylvain held me close, preventing me from making a move. However, Elizabeth stepped forward just then, pointing her finger at Cassandra."You assaulted her first and everyone here can be a witness to that. What Aria did was just self-defense." She said with a shrug, turning her gaze to me and giving me a wink.A smile curled up my lips. I could always trust her to be at my side.Meanwhile, Cassandra seemed to have become speechless due to Elizabeth's words. She stuttered, her gaze fleeting from Sylvain and me to Orion repeatedly."Baby… baby, do something." She drawled, wrapping her hands around his arms. Seeing that made my blood boil, and my Alpha wolf growled as I glared at Orion.
