CHAPTER TWELVEARIA’S POV I walked as fast as my legs could carry and ignored Everess who had been screaming my name. “Get going,” I ordered my rider, and immediately I got to the carriage. “What is going on Lady Aria?” Olivia asked but I didn't give her a response. My heartbeat accelerated, and I started asking myself different questions. What if I was really pregnant? Klaus is definitely not the father, the father is the stranger I had sex with and had never seen before.“I'm doomed,” I lamented as tears blurred my vision and the carriage started moving slowly. I placed my hands on my stomach, rubbing it tenderly even if I wasn't certain that there was a baby in there. I had recently seen my period, so having a baby was little or not even possible. I haven't been sick, or have any symptoms of pregnancy. “If something went wrong there, you can confide in me, My lady,” Oliver said, placing her hands on me. I gave her a forced smile before whispering.“I am okay,”
CHAPTER THIRTEENARIA’S POV I repeatedly asked Ryan why he invited my enemies and he hasn't responded to me. Ryan left me in the room, after ordering me to come out, against my fucking will. “That fucking asshole, I cursed under my breath, as I paces around the room. Going to meet with Tasha was never part of what I planned to do within the short time I spent with Ryan. I am more pissed that he ordered me to apologize to Olivia who is the green snake on the green grass. The knock on the door interrupted my thought and I knew it was Olivia, Ryan ordered her to get a new dress for me.“Get the hell in,” I yelled, not wanting to see Olivia. She entered the room, with a long red dress that made my jaw drop in surprise. I looked at the dress that Olivia was holding up for me. It was a beautiful, long red dress. I've never seen anything like it before. The color is a deep, rich red that looks like it would shine in the light. Olivia says, "This is a special dress, made jus
CHAPTER FOURTEEN RYAN’S POV “Thanks, you don't look bad yourself,” Aria said, throwing a compliment back at me. The dinner was a quick one and I didn't pay attention to most of it, my eyes were fixed on Aria, I had never assumed she could be this stunning. “Cheers to the new Whore… or sorry Luna,” Klaus said, trying to make a toast and that was when he triggered my inner wolf. “How dare you,” I groaned as I rushed to his table, grabbing him by his collar and pushing him to the wall. “You can't kill me the way you killed, Lord Connell during one of your board meetings, I am a fucking Alpha,” He grunted, trying to escape the tight grip I had on his neck. I had the fact that he was right and killing him would cost me my throne, if not, I was ready to snap his neck. In anger, I pushed him to the ground. “Apologise,” I said, trying to sound cool, I didn't want them to know how much effect insulting Aria had on me. When Klaus was reluctant to apologize, my anger which was
CHAPTER FIFTEENARIA’S POV I entered the Dining room again and everyone's eyes were on me, just like I expected. My blue eyes searched for Klaus and finally, I saw him standing beside Tasha, with his hands encircled around her waist. He had a grin on his face as he looked at me, I wished I could wipe that grin. I took a glass of blood and walked towards Ryan, who had a confused look on his face. Without wasting much time, I spilled the blood all over his body, starting from his head. Klaus looked at me, as his jaw dropped, and he could barely utter a word.“What did you just do?” Tasha yelled, as she looked around and everyone watching our little drama, the embarrassment on her face was satisfying.“Oops, I thought he was the thrashing man,” I said, faking to be apologetic, everyone at the dining ha couldn't hide their surprise, they never thought I could be savage like that. “Did you spill me blood thinking I was the thrash man?” Klaus thundered as his blood began
CHAPTER SIXTEENRYAN’S POV I left the dining hall feeling fucking terrible. I said mean things to Aria and I couldn't wrap my head around it no matter how I tried. The feeling washed through my body was something I never felt before, and that feeling freaked me out. When she placed her hands on my chest, my blood rush increased and I felt like kissing her. Our relationship was getting off-hand, so I think I had to stop it and do the most.“Fuck, I need to speak with Simeon,” I growled as I turned into my wolf form and ran to Simeon’s house. Simeon had been my best friend since I was little, and he is a married man though, with a lesser drama in his life. Simeon has three children and lives on the outskirts of the pack and he loves a private life. Soon I was at his house and I transformed back into a human, naked.“What the hell just happened? DAD!” Davi, Simeon’s first daughter yelled and I got confused until I remembered Simeon’s secret. Simeon is human. H

CHAPTER SEVENTEENRYAN’S POV I sat by my pool thinking of what Simeon said, how can I be in love with Aria? I don't care about the fact she is being called a whore, I am just surprised that I am losing my shit because of her. “Fuck,” I cursed under my breath as I racked my hands through my hair. Remembering how tears clouded her blue eyes made me want to hit myself in the balls. “What the fuck are you thinking about brother, I have been here but you didn't notice my presence,” Trina, my step-sister, yelled, splashing water on me. Trina is the last child of my father, and she is sixteen at the moment, almost ready for marriage. I don't like my stepmom, she was my mother's best friend and when my mother ran away she took over her position. I would not be so angry, but my stepmother was the cause of my mother's disappearance. Growing up, my mum was a submissive wife, I’d say she was too submissive to my dad and allowed him to walk all over her. But when she fou
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ARIA’S POV I stared at Olivia in anger, with disgust written all over my face. The audacity she had to enter my room and tell me Ryan wasn’t wrong for calling me a whore. “You need to calm down,” She continued saying, trying to gaslight me when she knew how wrong she was. “Take your stuff and leave this place now,” I heard Ryan's voice as he pushed out the bedroom door. The shock in my eyes was evident, what did he mean by that?“I…I… I don’t understand,” I stuttered.“I am taking you back to Klaus,” Ryan wasn’t threatening me, he was damn serious. This got me confused; what did I ever do to him that warranted this maltreatment? He called me all sorts of names at the dining hall, and I didn’t react, and now he is fucking throwing me out.“What the fuck did I do? You humiliated me in the dining hall, and you also sent Olivia to humiliate me, and now you are sending me packing. Do you worst, I am a helpless omega who isn’t afraid of death,” I yelled,
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIXAREOLA’S POV The ride was a long one, and I could the palace of the Lycan king was still fucking car. We were passing through the woods and my kids were staring at everything with awe, making me remember the day my parents died. We were all going for an occasion because my father was among the most respected noblemen, even if he wasn't a board member. He was invited to dine with the late Lycan king and that was the first time my sister and I were living in our mansion.“Daddy is beautiful,” I recalled my sister's voice, beaming at my father, who was beaming as well, unsure of what would happen next. My sister was already betrothed to the Lycan king’s nephew and we had always dreamt of how he would look, it painted me like she never got to see his face.“Mummy it's awesome, daddy would have loved to be here,” Trina yelled excitedly, using her eyes to explore every tree we passed.“Daddy went to the afterlife baby, he is seeing us right now,” I said, holding
CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVERYAN’S POV Natalie and I had been engaged for four years and everyone was waiting for our wedding. The respect I have for Natalie has begun to deteriorate, as I began to find horrible traits about her.“Are you sure Natalie ordered some men to attack Trinity pack in my name?”I asked, even if I was as confused as her. Natalie is capable of a lot of shit, I almost had her thrown into the dungeon when she tried to kill Trina for being gay, but we share the same immunity, because she is my wife-to-be. I have also tried to call off our engagement, but still, that is impossible. Engagement is a big deal in my world and can't be revoked till after marriage, and the marriage ought to last a year, before divorce. “Yes, she killed all the men that went with her, She killed my brother,” One of the guards said, with tears in his eyes. I threw a fist at the wall angrily, why the fuck didn't I see this trait in her, I didn't only make her Alpha, I also engaged her.
CHAPTER FIFTY-FOURAREOLA’S POV I spent the last two days packing my things, I'm leaving Trinity packed. “This is a stupid idea, you can win revenge on a Lycan king, who you still love,” Moxilla argued, as I packed my remaining clothes and got ready for my journey, she had been trying to stop me, to a dead end.“He can't go away with hurting people I love, Moxilla, you might have done that to Aria but he won't do that to Areola,” I snapped at her, setting my bows and arrows. Revenge has been running in my blood since Leo died and I had to go with my instinct even if Moxilla is right sometimes. “Mummy, where is Daddy,” Tasha called, I turned to look at her and all I could see was Ryan. I have no idea why she looked so much like him but it got me angry, I even had to dye her hair blonde like her sister but she still looked like Ryan.“You are the cause of him being missing,” I snapped at her, pouring my anger on her for no reason. “Areola, don't frighten the child,” Moxilla g
CHAPTER FIFTY-THREEAREOLA’S POV I stared at Leo’s body, finding it hard to believe he was no more.“Areola, are you okay?” I heard Donna’s voice, I raised my head to see her and Nicole running in my direction.“What are you doing here?” I asked, gulping hard, they would blame me for Leo’s death and I was ready for it. I waited for Donna to rain abuse on me but rather she hugged me tightly.“I didn’t kill him,” I whispered to her ears, trying to hold my tears back, my crew had never seen me cry, and I wasn’t planning to cry now.“I know, we saw Alpha Natalie and how Leo died, I’m sorry,” Nicole consoled me, patting my back. That was it, the tears fell from my eyes without control, and I wept on Donna’s shoulder.“It is okay to cry, just so you know,” She whispered to my hair, as I soaked her shoulders with tears. “He wasn't happy with me before he died, I know I'm the cause of his death,” I sobbed, feeling a different weight of guilt on my shoulders. It made me remember the
CHAPTER FIFTY-TWOAREOLA’S POV I was still holding Leo’s lifeless body when some armed men came towards me in their house.“He is not an animal,” they scoffed, jumping on their horses. I don’t know if I should be angry at them for thinking he was an animal for them laughing about it.“You killed him,” I growled, getting angry. I was already losing to my wolf, when one came closer to me, and whispered to my ear.“If you say another word, we would make you our whore,” He said, licking my ear. They all laughed at his stupid comment and if it was Aria she would have broken down in tears but luckily, this was Areola Ross.“Don’t get me angry,” I warned, forming a fist in my hand, if the last thing I did was make meat out of these wolves, I would be glad. “She has some nerves doesn’t she,” He scoffed, flipping my hair to the other side. I dropped Leo’s body carefully to the ground and stood on my feet, with my eyes burning red.I counted the men, there were eight of them, and lucki
CHAPTER FIFTY-ONEAREOLA’S POV It had been two days since I told Leo that I didn't love him and he hadn't been to the house since. I regret my actions, but I don't blame myself for being sincere to him, it is better he knew the truth of my feelings. “What are you going to do, Areola?” Nicole asked, sitting at the edge of the bed. I didn't have a choice but to call Nicole and Donna. I told them everything about the marriage and they didn't seem pleased with what I did.“I don't know, he isn't…”“Of course you won't, Areola, all these past years to have spent you, you thought about yourself alone but Leo never left your side, and now you throw him out there to dry,” Donna said rudely, glaring at me She isn't telling the truth, I have always put the pack’s needs before mine as long as I can remember.“If you did, you would have left Nicole and Leo's love to blossom but no, you kept him to yourself and just threw him under the bus,” Donna snapped at me. I get that she took Leo a
CHAPTER FIFTYAREOLA’S POV I was dumbfounded, the fact that I promised to be Leo’s wife was still shocking.“It is shocking because you are still in love with Ryan,” Moxilla snapped. “Why didn't you stop me?” I asked Moxilla, pacing around the room Leo and I shared. The sex with Leo was awesome although it wasn't better than Ryan’s or Elisha, it was something I looked forward to. With a deep breath, I sat on my bed, deep in thought.“I tried to stop you, but when your damn mind is made up you don't look back,” She scoffed, not feeling a bit of pressure. “This affects you and me Moxilla, if I marry him, we will be tied down to a man again,” I panicked, throwing my head back. I don't want to live a life in the shadows of a man again, and even though Leo seemed different he is still a man. “The four years spent with Leo had been the best Areola, he didn't behave as if he owns you and even if I was against you getting married to him forever, I don't think its a bad idea,” Sh
CHAPTER FORTY-NINEAREOLA’S POV Four years passed without me noticing, and today, Trina and Tasha turn four. Leo and I have been trying to throw an elaborate party for our girls and celebrate the fact that our marriage will soon be over. I felt heavy in my heart, the thought of divorcing Leo was depressing, he had been nothing but supporting me, I may not love him but I respect his strength. “It's time to wake up, Areola, Today is our kid's birthday,” Leo yawned, sitting up on the bed, without a shirt. Leo and I live alone now, a lot has happened with the crew, Donna and Nicole are married, Jeffrey is dead, Trust fled from the pack to find his own life and the rest of the crew just broke up, I barely noticed they were gone. Luckily, they left the house for Leo and me and we made good use of it. We built a room for our girls and ourselves so we don't have to sleep in the living room.“I am awake,” I scoffed, rolling to Leo’s chest, Starling him. Leo had never had sex with
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHTRYAN’S POV I didn't wait for Everess to finish what she was saying when I walked out of the pool. Knowing more about Aria would make me drawn to my past, although I reasoned what she said. What if Aria was pregnant with my child? I remember talking about pregnancy with her and she jerked, was Everess right? Was Aria alive? “Ryan,” I heard Natalie’s voice, I turned immediately to see her sitting in the corner. “Nat?” I called, walking towards her. It was obvious that Natalie had been crying, her makeup had washed away, giving her a dark spot, underneath her eyes.“What the hell happened?” I asked, sitting close to her, I felt her pain, and anyone who made her cry, I was more than ready to rip his throat off and I meant it.“I am sorry for making you look stupid,” She apologized, holding my hand. For a moment, I felt stupid for thinking that she wanted to pay me back for declining her proposal.“Why did you do it?” I asked, trying to act sensible, eve
