Mia I can’t fucking believe what I’ve done. Like, seriously, what the actual fuck, Mia? I slept with Damon. DAMON. As I put on my shoes and throw on my gown, I feel my cheeks burn hotter than a stove. I bolt out of his room before he can even open his damn mouth to say anything. Nope, not today, S
Aria takes a deep breath, like she’s about to confess to a crime. “Well… we did it in bed. Then he, um, went down on me. And then in the bathroom, I… sucked his dick. After that, he took me from behind in the shower.” “Fuck.” I slap a hand over my mouth. “You’re officially a bad girl now.” “And I
Aria "Okay, everyone calm the hell down," I mutter, resting my elbow on the table and glancing around. The room’s buzzing with chatter, forks clinking against plates, and nobody seems to notice the chaos brewing at our table. “We have to be careful. The culprit might be here.” Mia leans forward, h
“She won’t,” I insist, already moving. “This is our chance to figure out who she is.” Mia stands, clearly on board. Lily groans but follows anyway, muttering something about how this is how people die in horror movies. I take a deep breath and step out of the cafeteria, my heart pounding in my che
Aria “So, what are we gonna do about this?” Mia glares at the box sitting like some cursed artifact in the trash can. I cross my arms, scowling at the damn thing. “I don’t know, but whoever’s doing this is seriously grinding my nerves.” I glance at the boutique behind us. “We were outside, then we
She’s right…Vanessa’s got her own mess to deal with. No way she’s behind the box. But still… “Are you still here?”Vanessa groans, snapping me out of it. “Just fucking—” She pauses, sniffing the air dramatically like a fucking dog. Her eyes narrow. “You’ve been marked, haven’t you? Alpha Lucas?” Th
Aria I’m standing there, staring at Lucas like an absolute idiot. My brain? Completely fried. I swear, I couldn’t string together a coherent thought even if my life depended on it. And trust me, it kinda did. Mia swoops in, bless her meddling little heart, all smiles as she plucks the box from my
“Eat.” He points at my plate like he’s scolding a toddler. “You’re not leaving until that salad is gone.” “Yes, sir,” I mutter, stabbing at the salad with my fork. His smirk tells me he caught the sarcasm, but he doesn’t call me out on it. I pick up my fork, feeling his eyes on me. No pressure or
“You might not know it yet, but you are special, my child. When I found out you were alive... I was elated. Full of joy. I thought you died with Martha and Kane.” “But why didn’t you do anything?” I ask, my voice tight. “Take revenge or... I don’t know. Something.” He shakes his head slowly. “I wi
Aria I’m standing there like a damn statue. My brain short-circuits. I can’t fucking move, can’t talk, can’t even blink right. Just staring at this man who apparently is Alpha Marcel... my father. My father, bro. What the actual fuck? He starts walking toward me real slow, mouth opening and closi
Aria So, Lucas slowly starts driving the car into the pack, and the people standing there just part like the damn Red Sea. The second we pass through, the gate shuts behind us with this loud-ass BOOM that nearly makes me jump out of my skin. I glance ahead and realize the only thing lighting up th
“Relax already,” he says with a soft laugh. “You’re turning into a damn yapper.” I smack his arm playfully. “I’m serious, Lucas.” “I know,” he says with a nod. “And I get you. But with Mark and me, just let it be. There’s no fixing shit there.” “He shouldn’t have brought up your mom... that wa
Aria Lucas grips the steering wheel tight, his knuckles damn near white, and lets out a deep breath. “It’s none of your fucking business.” Mark throws his head back and laughs like an idiot. A full-blown, body-shaking laugh. “Calm down, man. I was just curious. I just wanna know what she was li
Mark looks like he’s about to throw out some excuse. “No... I just feel like…” “Listen, Mark,” Before he can finish that sentence, I cut right in, already tired of their dumbass back-and-forth. “If you want, you can ride with us in Lucas' car.” “What?” Lucas snaps his head toward me, eyes wide an
Aria It’s finally morning, and Lucas and I are all set to head out. The air is calm and sharp with cold, the kind that bites through your clothes, so we both throw on our winter jackets for extra warmth. We didn’t pack much, just a school bag stuffed with a few essentials, and Lucas had said if we
“Yeah, but he already told us everything he claims to know.” “Not enough, though,” he mutters, shaking his head. “I wanna know what it looks like, the people, the way they live… all of it. I don’t trust that fucking jerk, Aria.” I glance up at him, raising a brow. “And you guys are supposed to b
Aria Aunt Esther has been staring at Lucas and me from the couch like I’ve completely lost my mind. For the past hour, she hasn’t stopped looking at us that way, ever since I barged into her apartment and told her everything that’s been going on. “I still can’t believe this,” she says for what f
