Lucas The second I step into Sarita’s apartment, I don’t even make it past the couch…I just collapse onto it, completely fucking exhausted. She chuckles, settling into the chair across from me, her eyes practically dancing with amusement. "Damn, you look like you got run over by a truck." I g
Aria I manage to drag my ass to campus before noon, but damn, my body is wrecked. Yesterday was fucking great…I had the time of my life with Lucas…but holy hell, my bones feel like they got hit by a truck. I’m definitely walking funny, and I know people are staring. And, honestly? I don’t blame
"And probably gunning for your heart too," Mia smirks. I snort. "Yeah, right." "Come on, Aria," she drags out my name like she’s personally offended by my denial. "You really think all those flowers were just friendly? The guy wants more. Lucas sees it. That’s why he stepped up and took you on a
Aria School’s almost over, and Lucas is still a no-show. To make things worse, he’s completely ghosted the mind-link. The only thing he managed to do was send a half-assed text saying he’d “probably” be home late. Probably? Seriously? What the fuck is his problem today? Annoyed, I grab my bag and
“I know this isn’t going to end well. Did you see Lucas’s face? He’s gonna fucking kill Mark.” Lily practically screams this in my ear, vibrating with excitement. We’re up in the stands, waiting for the so-called captain showdown to start. The whole stadium is packed with students, all here to wit
Yeah. This is not going to be a friendly match. I don’t even think anymore. My feet move on their own as I march straight over to where Lucas is standing with Damon and Theo. "Hey, guys," I greet, trying to sound casual. Lucas barely acknowledges me before snapping, "Aria… did you know this Ma
The crowd erupts. Even louder than for Lucas. Lucas is fuming. "It wasn’t bad," Theo says. "Are you kidding? That was a great speech," Damon argues. I make the mistake of looking at Lucas. Yeah. He’s fucking livid. His hands are clenched so tight, I think he might snap his own fingers. T
Hello, guys, I accidentally omitted a chapter before Chapter 201, but it will be rectified soon.
“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
