BORN TO BE A LUNA 35. Claimed
Aria's POV"Mine."Nicholas' growled as his canines ripped effortlessly into my thin flesh as he seized what was rightfully his. I yelled in agony, struggling to withstand his bite, hands on his biceps, holding for support. Nevertheless, my wolf, Kaia, was overjoyed that her mate had finally claimed her as his. After all she has been through, fate has favored her.In contrast to her pleasure was my pain. I tried to push his chest away since the bite was becoming more excruciatingly painful, but he was too powerful. I closed my eyes, hands in a fist, bearing the pain a little longer.After this, our connection would be stronger than it was before, and that's what I am holding on to.Nicholas removed his canines from my neck and licked the blood that oozed out before planting soft kisses on it, sending ripples of pleasure through my body."Did it hurt?" he asked softly, pulling me closer to him. I nodded. "A little."The full moon ceremony has just finished, and everyone is doing a pos

Aria's POVI've been staring in the mirror for a few minutes, trying to figure out how to cover up the mark Nicholas left on my neck. The man left much too many kiss marks, and it looks terrible. To the point that it seems like I have thalassemia."Good morning, love," Nicholas appeared, kissing my temple.I give him a side look, a morose expression on my face. "Look at what you have done! I can't go out looking like this!" I complained.He glanced at my neck with a cheeky smile tinged with pride. He had no regrets. Nicholas really had the guts to laugh at my circumstance rather than apologize. Tsk!"I thought you liked it?"A malicious tone was hidden in his voice. My face heated with embarrassment and tried to look away from him. The memory of last night is like a nightmare that hunts me down. It was something I wouldn't do consciously. I'm just possessed. That's it!"You beg me to—"Nicholas' words were cut off as my blower instantly flew straight toward his direction, which he ev

Aria's POVA week after my pity party, a flood of rumors spread throughout the domain. I wouldn't have cared if Crescentius wasn't involved, but the gossip is about them. I'm unsure where or how it started, but certain pack secrets that even I didn't know about suddenly leaked. Among all, witchcraft is the worst assumption I have ever heard.Was it Rojo La Luna's doing?"I need to see them," I beg.Nicholas does not want me to return there because of the risk. Crescentius was deemed a danger by the higher-ups, and no one was permitted to enter the area. Even if I despise my family, the individuals there are an exception. Crescentians are not rooted in compassion and generosity. But they have a life of their own and deserve to outlast."Haven't you learned yet?"Nicholas's tone sounds off. "You are not welcome there, Aria."I know. He doesn't have to tell me that. Even though I didn't belong there and they threw me out, my conscience compelled me to feel sympathy for them—no matter how

Aria's POV"I told you." I welcome the relentless wave of pain that lashes in my chest now and then. Each stroke is adorned with flesh-excruciating realization. Though, I feel relieved that they're not practicing what they're being accused of. They'll be able to get through it, and no individuals will be affected. Mysha and Luke just need to prove their innocence to the higher-ups and rehabilitate their reputation, which has been damaged by these allegations.Even though I know it's hard to fix the mess between us—I'd still willingly back her up from behind. She's my sister and will forever be. "Next time, listen to me," Nicholas added. I just sighed and looked outside the window of his car. There is no guilty feeling inside of me. I'm still happy despite the fact that I only got pain from seeing Mysha.I've long realized that feeling various emotions is a normal part of life. Life isn't all about being happy. Because where there is joy, there is also sadness. Everything is in pro

Aria's POVI managed to manipulate Matthew from giving in to my whims, but unfortunately, nobody was in the field when we reached there. It was empty as bald—not even a shadow or animal running across."They must have finished early, " he noted, opening the gate.Maybe I'll come here earlier next time. No one will ever know, and everyone will be surprised. It would be a pretty exciting thing to accomplish, in my opinion. "I want to train, Matthew."Matthew glanced at me with a doubtful expression on his face, ignoring what I said, and just sat on the bench near the large tree. He didn't bother saying a reply. After realizing that I couldn't get an answer from him, I turned my attention to something else. My gaze wanders around, awed by the splendor. The sky was painted orange and pink as if the artist hadn't been too indolent to fill in the blank spaces with some color. I can't see the sun any longer, but I can see its faint light."I really wanted to train," I reiterated, nearing M

"You better stick to the plan, Nicholas!" Natasha warned.Love enters his lofty foundation, which he believed couldn't. Nicholas convinced himself a million times that it was only the bond that drew his attention to the woman, but deep down, he knew he was wrong, and it was much worse when his wolf confirmed it. Yet, as the leader, he would not allow people to perceive his flaws. He had to be steady and act as though Aria were nothing more than an instrument for their vengeance."I know what I'm doing, Natasha."Natasha partially holds him at her fingertips, using their plan as blackmail for her scheme to work. She is also the reason Aria frequently becomes irritated, turns a cold shoulder, or flirts with Matthew in response. He puffed a cloud of smoke as he looked through the glass pane. A familiar figure snatched his attention, following through every movement she did, not until a man came. A wave of anger filled him when he saw how happy the woman looked with Matthew. "What are
BORN TO BE A LUNA 41.
Aria's POV"See," Natasha smirked. "He doesn't love you."Words cling to the roof of my mouth, unable to justify the love Nicholas and I had. I am once again deluded by idealism, wishing that what we had was genuine. But hearing him say he doesn't love me made me reconsider all we'd done. What am I to him if he doesn't love me? A hoe he can use when he gets horny? A mate that he can manipulate?"What makes you different?" I replied, annoyed. "Don't act superior since you're not loved either. Fuck buddy, sure. Cheap!"Natasha was about to grab my hair in rage when I descended, barely hearing her frustrated ranting. After exiting the pack house, I let out a long sigh as everything began to sink in while Nicholas' response to Matthew's question replayed in my head. He doesn't love—plain and simple.Fuck you, Nicholas.My heart was heavy, yet no tears flowed from my eyes, maybe due to the rage and fury I was feeling within. I expected more from him, but he delivered less. And being deceiv

Aria's POV"What kind of training is this?" I complained.The happy hormones I had earlier when he said he would train me died down when he brought me to a construction site. I don't intend to be a laborer. But the shameless Nicholas made me lift concrete blocks and helped the omegas construct the incomplete building. I didn't fucking sign for this."The training is already a breeze for you. I don't need to teach you anything but this," he said.My forehead, nose, and face were all covered in sweat. Nicholas even had me wear a head protection that was too loose for me, covering my eyes each time, which was irritating. And despite wearing gloves, I could still feel the block's roughness in my palm because the ghoul Nicholas forced me to carry the rough one even though there was a smooth variant.I wanted to cry."Aria, this isn't too hard."I forcibly carried two blocks at a time while rolling my eyes at him. I wonder if this is his retribution for my lack of attention to him last nigh

Nicholas I was peering out the window, clutching the cigarette I had just lighted, waiting for an update. I sent Kairo to spy on Crescentius, but the fool was caught, so I despatched Milan to spy. I was in the midst of my thought when the door to my office opened, and the wounded Kairo appeared. Angry, I delivered a powerful punch to his face, causing him to fly against the wall. He groaned in pain before falling to his knees. "You careless fool!" I growled. Kairo coughed up blood before struggling to rise. He was tortured so much because of the number of wounds on his body. Well, Luke does not easily let go of rogues. They kill them after torturing them. So how did Kairo get away? I puffed on my cigarettes, thinking about something. "How did you escape?" "Trek's youngest daughter released me," he admitted. I throw my cigarettes away while hearing Kairo's pathetic report. He was saved by a woman and not just any ordinary she-wolf, for she is the enemy's daughter. Look at how fa

Aria's POVNatasha's rage puts the baby she's carrying in danger. Fortunately, Doctor Green intervened quickly to prevent a possible miscarriage. So, instead of coming in the hospital for a check-up, Natasha ended up being confined. Her pregnancy wasn't quite healthy; a little stress would have stripped the pups she was carrying away."Let her take this medicine on a daily basis; it will help the baby grow healthy inside her," Doctor Green stated as she handed us a pill.She spoke softly, moved smoothly, and was very professional. Earlier, when Natasha attempted to scratch her face and cause havoc in the hospital, she calmly dodged her attack and injected her with a calming antidote.Rejecting her was probably Matthew's biggest regret. She is the epitome of grace and elegance. Not to mention how respectable her profession is. If I were in her shoes, I would never assist the woman my mate prefers over me. Nonetheless, she put her personal life aside and remain professional. She handl

Aria's POVLast night's conversation with Nicholas took us nowhere. He became irritated, so instead of staying outside for a few hours, we returned home earlier than planned. But, to be fair, despite his irritation, he didn't left me there. He's truly improved; perhaps he learned his lesson from the past."Luna Aria, there's a letter for you," Elora said as she handed me an envelope.I accepted it while combing my hair. The texture and fragrance of the envelope felt familiar. Only Crescentius sent letters on ivory paper, and the logo on the front of the envelope proved my claim. When I opened it, there was a small piece of paper stick inside. "M.S." I read the writing at the bottom.After reading the letter's contents, my breath caught in my throat and I had to stop combing my hair. I went back and read what had been said to make sure it wasn't just a delusion, but it wasn't. It was real. Mysha send me a letter. She wished for us to speak.My heart swelled with excitement.

Aria's POVWe returned home as dusk approached. I knew Nicholas had made us stay in the village for a half-day so I could spend time with my new found family. That man frequently works behind my back, not to hurt me, but to make me happy."I wish I'd get to reconcile with, Mysha," I blurted out as we approached the gate.The previous conflict had been resolved. Nicholas and I are also steadily establishing our relationship, and my human family has accepted me. Only my relationship with Mysha remains unresolved. "You'll reconcile sooner, love. Let time heal the wounds of the past or....how about you reach out for her?" he advised as he parked the car.My goal had always been to mend our shattered connection. I want to reach out to her, but every time our previous encounter comes to mind, fear stops me. She wanted me dead. So I'm worried that if I go to Crescentius, I won't make it out alive. Aside from my issue with Mysha, Alpha Luke had also disgusted me. I knew he was rational, but

Aria's POVI was drifting off into space, recalling what had just transpired. Things had quickly gotten out of hand. I'm not sure how to respond to all of the thoughts racing through my mind. It's commendable that the Elder acted fast and dispatched someone to address the disagreement. They also clarified what transpired in the past and cleared up any confusion. And Mysha was mistaken; our parents duped her into believing their lies, which she did.Our parents' previous attack on Rojo La Luna was laced with jealousy and threat. The reason they claimed Nicholas's parents were hiding in the rogue, even though they weren't."Are you okay?" Nicholas asked, sliding his hand on my stomach, hugging me from behind.I sighed before nodding. The trace of blood from Mysha earlier haunts me with worries. She is pregnant, yet she is willing to jeopardize her health for the sake of vengeance. Mysha is a fool for making that decision. She endangers not just her people, but also herself and the baby
BORN TO BE A LUNA 77.
Aria's POVAngered by the discourse she had with Nicholas, Mysha launched an attack. Our defense line was the first to meet Mysha's army of wolves, followed by the attacker, and they did the same. I looked at the sister I once admired, and I can't seem to find the familiarity in her anymore. She's totally different."Is there no other way to end this war?" I asked Nicholas.I don't want us to get to the point where blood is spilt and there is nothing left in the land because of my and Nicholas' parents, who are the basis of all of this. They're gone, therefore this meaningless fight must come to an end. We'll never know who uttered the truth on both sides because they're all dead. They are no longer present to testify about what occurred in the past. So, why are you still hanging on to that sad phase of life? We should all go on and forget about it. We will never progress if we remain rooted in the past. "If the Elders find out about this, both packs will suffer greatly," Natasha sa

Aria's POVI was so taken aback by Natasha's words early in the morning that I didn't have time to shower, brush my teeth, or even get dressed. I followed her in my pajamas to the packhouse, where all of the officials were already dressed in war gear. They look like royal armies ready for battle, whilst I am completely unprepared. My form right now was so out of place."How did you know my sister was coming?" I asked Nicholas, who was perched on his seat.Despite the fact that Mysha and I do not get along as siblings. Maybe she thought of me as a stranger by now. Hurting her feels like a second regret that I'll have to live with for the rest of my life. My parents' demise made me realize how important family is. I can't face the idea that something horrible will happen to her."Our Crescentius spy delivered us a message," he explained.He had planted a spy in Crescentius? How could I have missed that? "Why do you have a spy there?"A gust of doubt hustled through my nascent trust in

Aria's POVNicholas' feverish kisses resumed once we entered his car. I was a little sober from the inebriated sensation, but a slight touch from him put me on my knees. I surrendered myself to him, ignoring my rationality. I couldn't stand the heat. Nicholas' kisses literally steal my sanity."You taste like honey, my sweet," he said in my ear as his hand began to make advances on my body.Our movement is restricted, though, due to the limited space within Nicholas's automobile. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine making out inside a car. It made me feel both scared and excited. Fear of being caught. Thrill at the prospect of new experiences."Nicholas, can't we be seen here?" I told him. He planted soft kisses on my neck. "It's tinted, baby. Don't worry." I know it's tinted, but we're in the werewolf realm. Their vision is more developed than that of humans, and they could presumably see what's within even if it was tinted. Nicholas must have forgotten it because he was so co

Aria's POVThe meeting was cut short due to Luna Beatrice's temper tantrums. Nicholas can't forced Alpha Dony to return so that they can continue what they're talking about."Should we go see the cityscape?" he inquired.We were heading back to Red Moon around five o'clock. I'm not sure what Nicholas' plan is, but he mentioned the cityscape. Perhaps because it's almost night and the light there is excellent."It all depends on you; what are your plans?"I'm game for anything he wanted to do. Aside from the fact that we only go out from the pack on rare occasions, this could be a nice time to decompress."Let's unwind there for awhile," he said.True enough, we went directly to the city and reserved a table at one of the city's tallest restaurants. We are presently on the rooftop, from which we can overlook the entire neighborhood. This place reminds me of Antohollan; I've never been there at night, but I imagine it looks exactly like this at night. The magnificent streetlight embelli
