Author's POV...
Devon tapped his feet on the hard ground with his hands behind his pocket; his heart thumped loudly when he heard Aria call out to him. Ever since they had a forced fallout, he had tried so hard to avoid her. The closer he gets to her, the more he can't seem to take his mind off her.
His mother had acted unbothered when Devon confronted her for threatening Aria. On the other hand, maybe he dreamed too much of what would never happen. He has known Kyle all his life, and as friendly as he might appear, Kyle doesn't like to share whatever he thinks belongs to him. Devon had been observant enough to know Kyle wasn't happy about him and Aria. However, he had followed his heart nonetheless.
Aria let out an awkward smile as she stood before him; scratching the back of her neck, she tried to keep her eyes glued to the ground.
Devon chuckled, "I do have a day job, Aria. And I am sure your friend is eager for you to return."
She sighed, "I'm
Aria's POV...As much as I appreciate Barrin's help in bringing me to the packhouse without getting drenched by the already pouring rain, I still don't like the ride. The rain started the moment I stepped foot in the packhouse. I thought Barrin would come in to see Kyle. Instead, he drove off as soon as I got down. My phone rang loudly in my purse; opening it, I brought out the cell phone. Raven's name popped up on the caller ID."I'm about to lose my mind right now. Where the hell did you keep your phone?" She blurted all at once.I huffed tiredly as I walked through the hallway, with the rain making its debut on the roof. "I am sorry, didn't realize the phone was ringing. I was preoccupied with getting home on time.""Are you home now?""Yes.""I feel so relieved to hear that. Talk to you later." Raven muttered in her sweet tone, hanging up.Smiling to myself, I opened my room door and almost sank into the wall. Ky
Kyle's POV...I watched as she jabbed and punched at the moulded fighting partner with all her strength. Aria seems to be pulling me in every now and then. It's been two weeks since we started getting more intimate, and I must admit, they are the best times I have had in a long while. I don't even feel so much guilt towards Barrin like before. Not because I don't love him anymore, but because I keep telling myself it's just sex to birth an heir. Even though there is no total ounce of truth in it.Still, there is no way I am letting go of Aria soon. Having her wrap her legs around me, trusting me enough to go deep into her, makes my heart race and my wolf filled with excitement. It feels extremely different with Barrin. I don't know why I keep comparing both; I just can't seem to help it.Not telling Barrin about the arrangement was a good idea; he appears uncomfortable with the supposed two days meet per week. And he has become more needy and clingy, all because
Aria's POV...I couldn't resist the grateful expression on my face. Kyle looked utmostly pleased after he orgasmed; his cheekbones brightened in a usual way."Why do I feel like you are beginning to enjoy this." I teased.He sniffed, turning away from me to pull up his trousers. "This is just a way to get you to conceive on time. It's not like we can be sure of when it would happen.""Hmm, I see," I muttered, not letting go of the taunt in my voice. "Anyways, I feel really sticky. I should head back to my room.""Just like that?" He queried.I stared at him in confusion, "what do you mean?""Your heart doesn't flutter, or your legs weak, considering what just happened now?"I tried to be sure of what he was trying to achieve by observing his face close enough; it was obvious he expected me to give off some sort of reaction to please his ego. Even though I must admit, sex with Kyle feels like the best in the world. I am not abou
Kyle's POV...Grinning to myself at how silly Aria was, denying how much I make her feel to my face, I tried to act oblivious to the fact that she enjoys my company as much as I do; she did awful at faking her feelings. To avoid tramping on her ego, I made it seem like her denial got to me. Instead, it only made me feel more attached to her. My dick still jolts in excitement at the thought of meeting with her again tonight.I chuckled to myself, wondering what had gotten over me. I am beginning to act lovesick. I can't seem to resist having her in my arms every night. Our meetings might get extended to every day of the week. My thoughts faded with the wind when the door opened abruptly, and a dead-faced-looking Barrin walked in.His face only looks blank like that when he is pissed at me; I sat up, holding his gaze. "What's wrong, babe? Why are you looking so livid?"He exhaled, throwing his head to the back. Whatever was bothering him, Barrin was trying
Aria's POV...My confidence went with the wind at Kyle's violent shove; the wolf inside me, which belongs to Breona, was in utmost despair at the second rejection. Both Barrin and Kyle have turned their back on their wolf. What I don't seem to understand is what came over him all of a sudden. We were fine some hours ago, and I was excited to be with him. The look in his eyes broke my heart to pieces.Swallowing hard, I dragged myself off the floor. Something tumbled inside of me. It felt like my intestines were struggling against each other. I managed to get myself to my room, but the pain became more intense. It felt like I might pass out; after what felt like forever and sweat broke out on my forehead, relief came. I leaned against the door, shaking from its effect; whatever it is, I hope it doesn't happen again.I got up and headed to the bathroom as it suddenly felt really hot; I didn't make it to the bathtub when my legs gave way, and I fell to the ground h
Kyle's POV...The gin didn't seem to do much to my body as it trailed down my throat. My head was spinning, and it felt like I was losing my mind. I have been trying so hard to get myself together since Barrin walked out on me. My wolf seemed to be in a sour mood as it didn't yield to my command to shift. I wanted to punch something so bad. It's almost like I could taste Barrin's sad state of mind.He wouldn't answer my call or respond to my texts. I try hard to blame Aria, but I know it's all my fault and nothing else. She clearly wasn't in support of us meeting more than twice a week. But my selfish self just couldn't stop reminiscing on how much pleasure I got from her. Her body's warmth and moans sound like music to my ears. Despite my sour mood, my dick still had the nerve to get excited.I jolted out of my thoughts when the door opened up abruptly. I was a bit taken aback at the pale sight of Aria. But that wasn't the scary part of her; it was the dead emo
Aria's POV...My emotion was everywhere. I didn't know exactly how to feel about losing my unborn child or the glaring truth that I would always have to pick my pieces myself. There was no need for me to get carried away with anything or anyone. I had left Kyle's study feeling victorious at the sad look in his eyes.But I think it was all about me in the end; it won't take him long to move on from the pain. And from the look of things, we will never get close to each other again. Knowing Kyle, Barrin will always come first before any other person.Raven had left a note for me by the time I returned to the room. It was a sweet gesture, scribbling down her concerns hurriedly on the paper while pleading with me to take some rest. I had curled up in bed, crying my eyes out. And when morning came, I could feel it deep within me that something had changed.I decided never to let anyone toss me around again for the umpteenth time. I always seem to forget the pro
Kyle's POV...My eyes fluttered, adjusting to the bright morning sun through the window. I sat up, rubbing my eyes; the room looked unfamiliar. It took me a few seconds to remember where I was. Memories of yesterday flashed in my head. I had reconciled with Barrin and got drunk to my heart's content before falling asleep.It felt odd, though; I have never slept outside the packhouse for personal reasons. It always has to do with the pack's progress. An ache danced in my head as I pulled the duvet off me. The other side of the bed was dead cold. Barrin must have gotten up quite early. I made my way downstairs and found him sitting in the kitchen, stirring his coffee.The other house members bowed hurriedly to me and scampered off. Sometimes I really don't like how the pack members look scared when they come across me. I want to believe I am quite the lenient type of Alpha. But then, what do I know? Seeing we were alone, I wrapped my arms around the love of my life, i
