Aria The moment I reach him, I grab Lucas by the waist, pulling him back before he can swing again. "Stop, Lucas, please," I beg, my hands tightening around him. The coach, Damon, and Theo jump in, finally prying him off Mark. "Why the fuck should I?!" Lucas roars, still struggling against me
"I love you too," I whisper. …… Saturday finally rolls around, and Lucas and I are all set to visit Shadow Pang Pack. I won’t lie…I’m kinda nervous. I have no clue what to expect. I mean, am I even ready to see Alpha Marcus after all the shit he pulled? I haven’t even seen the guy in the flesh
Lucas What the fuck is going on right now? My eyes stay glued to Mark, my whole body tight with rage. The bastard just sits there, smirking like he owns the damn place. I turn sharply to my father. "Why is he here?" "Lucas, calm down, please." My father’s voice is gentle. "How have you been
Aria Okay, so things are intense as hell right now. Lucas is full-on murder glaring at Mark, while Mark keeps clenching and unclenching his fists like he’s deciding whether to throw a punch or not. His mother, Jane, looks like she wants to claw Lucas’s face off with her manicured nails. And Alpha
Marcus isn’t shaking anymore. But he’s also not moving. Sarita swallows hard. “Is he… is he dead?” Good fucking question. Because that was exactly what was running through my mind too. Lucas shakes his head, jaw tight. “No… he’s not. I can still hear his heartbeat.” He’s trying to sound strong, b
Aria What the fuck is this woman talking about? No ordinary werewolf? I blink at her, trying to process the bullshit. “I don’t understand what you mean,” I say, folding my arms. Jane opens her mouth like she’s about to spill some deep, dark secret—but then she snaps it shut the second Sarita and
“And what about his mom, huh?” I snap, narrowing my eyes at Mark. “Your mother is the reason Lucas didn’t grow up with his. She fucking died…because of all the pain Alpha Marcus and your mother put her through.” Mark flinches like I just slapped him. “Aria, I’m sorry,” he mutters, his eyes practica
We step into the room just as the doctor is heading out. “Remember, don’t let him get agitated,” he tells Lucas before slipping past us. My eyes land on Marcus. He’s barely managing to sit upright, but his breathing is fast. “Aria… you’re here. Please, come,” he waves weakly. I glance at Luc
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
He pauses for a second, like he’s trying to find the right thing to say, but then he just nods. "I get it... I understand." I watch his face closely, trying to read him. "I’m thinking tomorrow," I add, my voice soft but sure. I wait for his reaction, but he’s holding it together better than I expec
Aria "So you're telling me the man just disappeared? Like, poof, gone?" Mia’s eyes are still wide as hell, looking all sorts of shocked, even though this is like the tenth time she’s asked. "For the last damn time, Mia, that’s what they said," Lily mutters, rolling her eyes, but Mia still looks
