Aria"Ba...baron? You are alive?" I gasped and ran toward him.When the rogue attacked and killed everyone in our pack, I didn't know who made it out of there alive. My heart filled with joy as I looked at my childhood best friend standing in front of me in one piece.Baron, his once sleek fur now matted with dirt and blood, gave me a weary smile. "I thought you were gone for good too Aria," he replied.He had always been the strong one, the protector, and seeing him here was a glimmer of hope in the darkness that had consumed us.Tears welled up in my eyes, and I rushed forward, embracing him tightly. "I can't believe it's you," I murmured, my voice trembling.Baron held me close, his breath warm against my ear. "I hid when the rogue attacked," he whispered."Ahem...excuse me. Can someone tell me who this is," Nathan barked.I released Baron from my hug and turned to Nathan. "Baron is my best friend. We had been friends since we were kids."Nathan's expression shifted, and he looked
DestinyHe called me into his room again, and this time, I had my nerves under control. I tried my best to look pretty for him.I didn't wear any make-up, but I carefully styled my hair into long curls that ran down to the middle of my back. I chose an off-white dress with thin spaghetti straps that flowed from top to bottom. My heart beat fast as I knocked on his door."Come in," his deep voice bellowed from inside, so I pushed the door open.As soon as I entered the room, his gaze swept over me like a predator eyeing its prey.But I refused to be a prey, not anymore. I stood tall, my chin held high and met his gaze head-on. I could see the surprise in his eyes, but it quickly turned into something else--lust."You look beautiful," he said with a smirk, and I could feel his eyes tracing the curves of my body. I forced myself to ignore it and walked forward, standing a few feet away from him."You called for me?" I asked, my voice shook.He nodded, still looking at me hungrily. "Yes,
Nathan"You can let go of my hand now," Aria said, but I kept my grip tight.""So that Baron guy...did you fuck him?" I asked.Aria's face contorted into a look of both anger and hurt. I could tell the question had struck a nerve. After a few moments, she pulled her hand away from mine and took a step back."What does it matter to you?" she spat. "You are not saying no," I said sheepishly.Aria groaned and rolled her eyes. "No, I never slept with Baron. Not that it's any of your business anyway."I let go of her. I jumped in bed and leaned back against the headboard. Yes, she was right. It was none of my business, but for some reason, the thought of her being with Baron irritated me. "I guess I am just curious.""I don't plan on being with anyone but my mate chosen by the Moon Goddess," Aria declared.I stayed silent. When I found my mate, Emily, I felt like I was at the top of the world. We were going to get married and raise children together. But all of our dreams got crushed when
DestinyMy eighteenth birthday was finally here, and I was absolutely petrified about what was to come.But I didn't have another second to waste being scared because I had to be brave for Aria's sake. I promised to help her take down Alpha Aldric so we could escape, and I was determined to succeed.I stared at myself in the mirror for a long time, but I didn't feel any different than I felt yesterday. Hmm...maybe I was a late bloomer, and my wolf wasn't ready to come to me yet!I took a deep breath and stepped out of my room and into the hallway. Alpha Aldric granted me more freedom, and I was free to roam around everywhere, but I knew better than to let my guard down around the other wolves. They were all under Aldric's control, and I had no idea who I could trust. On the way to the garden, I ran into Henrick."Ah, the Alpha King's little mate. Where are you headed?" he asked."Just to the garden. Want to walk with me?" I offered.Over the past few days, I came to enjoy Henrick's c
AldricI watched her as she strolled through the garden with Henrick by her side.But this time, I didn't feel irritated or angry. Instead, I felt something entirely different - an unfamiliar warmth in my chest. I tried to brush it off, thinking that it was just a fleeting emotion.'You are lying to yourself. You probably have a crush on the girl now,' my wolf chuckled inside.I scoffed. 'That's a good one, Malfoy. Crush on a little girl like her? No fucking way.''She is no little girl. Her wolf is here, I can feel it,' Malfoy growled.Butterflies filled my stomach. So it was her birthday today. Instantly, a desire to make her mine began burning in my veins, and before I knew it, my wolf had taken over. My breathing became shallow as I imagined all the ways I could have her tonight.I tried to push those thoughts aside and regain control of myself. I couldn't just give in to my primal urges in the broad daylight. But the urge was so strong, and my wolf was having a hard time being s
DestinyI felt my heart drop in my chest as the thunderous explosion rocked the building. I gasped, "Wha...what was that?"Alpha Aldric's face hardened with an iron resolve. His piercing gaze burned through me like a laser as he sternly commanded, "Something must've happened outside. Maybe the Rogues are attacking. You stay right here, and I will take care of it."The rogues?The memories of my past came rushing back. The rogues were the reason why I lost my parents and sold to Alpha Aldric. Will I have to relive that nightmare all over again?"Wait, don't go. I am scared," I whimpered and grabbed his hand.Alpha Aldric's gaze softened as he looked at me. He caressed my cheek and answered, "Don't worry, I will be back soon." Then, he stood up and walked out of the room.My heart raced as I contemplated the situation. What was happening outside? I had a feeling that this was only the beginning of something much greater and sinister. I shuddered at the thought of what was to come.I sat
AldricI was ready to walk away and let her sleep the night off without touching her because I thought she was scared of me. But then she threw herself at me, an animal in heat, and all my restraint vanished.My feisty little mate.I ran my hands all over her body, admiring how soft she was. Her curves fit perfectly against me, sending a jolt of pleasure and desire through my veins while I explored her with my fingertips. I trailed them down her back before I let them wander further south, taking in the sweetness of her."I can't wait anymore," I growled.Destiny watched me with a mix of fear and desire as I pulled my pants down. I climbed back onto the bed and positioned myself between her legs once again, my hands gripping her hips tightly.I didn't know if she was ready for this, and I couldn't care less. I was ready for her. And I wanted her. Just watching her and touching her had left me starving for her.As for her fear, well, I had ways of steering her fears in other directions
AriaIn the morning, Nathan and I met with Baron in the forest to plan our next move."I think it will be best if we could trap the Alpha King somehow. Maybe when he goes on his hunt next," Nathan said. "And after we chain him up, we can figure out how to kill him."Baron leaned forward, his eyes narrowing as he considered Nathan's suggestion. "It's a risky move," he said. "But it may be our only chance at taking him down."I nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of determination swelling within me. "Let's do it. What's the plan?"Baron laid out the details, his rough voice gruff with authority. We would set up a trap near the den where the Alpha King usually began his hunt. When the King emerged, we would spring the trap, catch him off-guard, and chain him up before he had a chance to retaliate.Nathan and I listened intently, nodding along as Baron spoke. It was a dangerous plan, but we were willing to take the risk."I don't know about this. We can't just attack him whenever. We hav
