Arya

“Arya?” Mom’s voice is the first thing that enters my mind. “What’s happening?”

“Mom, it’s Arthur,” I say, steadying myself just enough to string together a coherent sentence. I want nothing more but to cry in her arms and ask Dad for an embrace, but I swallow hard and force myself to get it together. “We got attacked by Rogues in the beach house.”

A beat of silence exploded in my mind, like Mom was so shocked that she fell into some sort of blank state for a moment.

And I’ve been in some sort of blank state for a long while now.

Tears continue to run down my cheeks. “Mom, please, he’s severely hurt. Send people here. We need help. He needs to make it, Mom, I’m begging you.”

“On it,” Mom says in a sudden flash of determination. “We’re coming. Just do what you need to do first and we’ll be there.”

I don’t answer and she vanishes from my mind, and now I’m left at the side of the beach, with the lights from the house shining on us, letting me see how much damage the Rogues did to my

    AryaThe next Monday, I wake up early for school, but my energy is unbelievably low even though I almost passed out on the bed because of exhaustion and sadness.I hurry preparing everything I needed for school and I go down the stairs to leave. Mom sees me and beckons me over to the dining table. "Come here, Arya! Come eat.""I'm not hungry," I say, and I just leave the house.Outside the palace, a car is waiting for me. A guard opens the door to the backseat and I get in.The trip to the school is quiet and sad, and I hate that I have to be alone with my thoughts for nearly an hour. I try to distract myself with some views outside the car but my mind is still spinning with images of Arthur lying on the side, bleeding and wheezing. . . .The car stops and I the guard opens the door for me.I don't know if it's just me, but for some reason all the students I pass by turn to face me and look at me, and I get this bad feeling. Maybe it's just because I'm not with Arthur and they're curi

    AryaA series of emotions start to flash in my chest. From bafflement to fear then back to confusion. I look at Arthur and he’s staring at me intently. I guess a part of me wants this to be a joke, but the single look on his face tells me that this is far from a joke.I swallow hard, shifting my weight from one foot to another. “I . . . don’t know what you mean.”He looks around again before lowering his voice and leaning close to me. “Those Rogues that attacked us in the beach house, and probably some that attacked the Dark Howl Pack . . . well, they have been dead at some point. Something is bringing them back to life to do its bidding. Something that we can’t recognize and have no trace of.”My pulse starts to race. “How did you know this?”“I started to suspect when they got close to me and I smelled them,” he says. Nancy leans closer to us to listen in but Arthur doesn’t stop. He looks at her too. “They refused to die. No matter how much I hurt them it seems that they just spring

    AryaFor a second I don't know what to say. I just look at Daniel, my smile stuck on my face."Well?" he prompts after a while of me not saying anything. "What do you think?""I don't know," I say after a beat, feeling Arthur's arm tensing around my waist. "Did they say why they want to talk to me?"He pauses to think about that for a moment, but he then shakes his head and shrugs. "No. They didn't say anything about it. And I personally have no idea why they want to talk to you."When he sees my confused expression, he quickly adds, "No, they're not angry or anything. It really doesn't seem like anything negative. They're just asking about you and how you are doing. I don't think it has anything to do with. . . ."He trails off, but he doesn't need to continue. I know what he means and I know that he's talking about Levi.And I don't know why, but I just automatically say, "I'll be there."Then I realize that that's a mistake, because the temperature seems to have dropped ten degrees

    Arya“I didn’t say anything,” I insist, and to my horror, tears are starting to brim my eyes. “I didn’t mean anything by it, Arthur. I’m just going to come see his parents and it would be a civil event.”Arthur doesn’t say anything more. He just backs the car off the driveway and then we’re in the road.“Arthur,” I call out to him, trying to touch his knee and look at him imploringly. “Please, talk to me. I want to know what you’re so angry about.”“I’m not angry,” he mutters. “I’m afraid.”I frown in confusion. “Afraid of what?”“Afraid that the mate bond is not going to be severed,” he says, and his voice drops even lower. “Afraid that someday, you will realize that he’s what you want and you will leave me.”His words hit me hard, almost like a direct punch in the chest. I look over at him but he’s already focused on the road. I clench my jaw, trying to hold back the tears long enough to talk, but my words start to fail me.No sound comes out of my mouth. Before I knew it, we’re alr

    LeviThe damage in the Shadow Moon Pack is nothing I have ever seen.For the past days since the attack, that has been the focus of everyone: getting everything ready and seeing to it that all the damages are assessed and repaired.In over a thousand members, thankfully only ten people were injured, including me. We didn’t have any casualties apart from that, and that makes me really glad. Our pack is still whole. We didn’t lose anyone.Our homes, on the other hand, are a different matter, since we have to start from scratch and build some of them from the ground.The ones who suffered the most damage from the Rogue attack are the Omegas.It’s something I already expected, since after living with them, I have come to realize that their homes are . . . well, not made from the best material.So as we start our rebuilding projects, I appeal to Daniel and ask him if we could use some of the better materials to rebuild the houses of the Omegas, and Daniel was actually all for it.It’s Mond

    Levi"What?" is the only thing I can say, and I feel like that sums up the whole statement that my dad just said.The words feel like they're floating around my head and the only thing that made contact are the words 'dinner' and 'Arya'."I said, we're inviting Arya over for dinner this week," Dad says. "She can come whenever she pleases. Of course she's a princess and she's bound to have a pretty busy schedule. We must make way for her so just be prepared for that."My heart starts to race. I don't know if it's just me being dumb and sleep-deprived or if this is bringing out a legitimate feeling of dread and nerves, but right now my head is swimming and my body feels so light that a small breeze can probably take me away right now.Still, I manage to find my voice and ask, "What for? What are you inviting her for?""Just to catch up," Dad says, and he smiles. That's when I knew that he really does mean it, that his intentions are pretty genuine. But that does not ease the growing fea

    Arya“Arthur . . . enlisted?” I ask, my voice fragile, but I don’t dare show any kind of emotion on my face. I know that if my mom finds out about what Arthur and I fought about, it would be bad. I don’t want them to interfere. “Since when? I didn’t know about that.”Mom stops examining one of the monitors and turns to me. “Huh, okay. Well, he just messaged us a while ago, right around the time you got home, actually. We’ve been offering the job to him since the whole event happened, though.”I clench my jaw. I want to scream and cry in frustration but I keep my calm, even to my own surprise. “Oh, okay.”Even though I sounded pretty normal, she must have sensed my surprise because she holds my hand and says, “Maybe he’s just about to tell you, my love. Why don’t you come to talk to him?”“I’ll do that,” I mumble, then I just say my quick excuses before hurrying out of the throne room.I rush inside my room, trying to keep it together long enough to take out my phone and try to call Ar

    Levi“Dude, you’re bleeding,” Daniel says lamely as he sees the marks on my stomach. “This can’t be good.”“Just hand me over some bandages.” I motion for him to go on and fetch me some. “I’m not in pain in any way. I think the effort of the day just reopened some things and that has to be pretty normal, right?”Daniel doesn’t look very convinced by my lie but he quickly runs off anyway and comes back with some disinfectant and gauze. I take off my shirt and crumple it into a ball so I can hide it in the washer much quicker later, and Daniel helps me soak the gauze in some disinfectant before dabbing away at the mess.Contrary to what I originally thought, the wounds didn’t completely reopen. There are some areas that have been scratched open, though, and I don’t know what caused that. I don’t even know why they caused so much bleeding.As I wrap up my torso and wear the extra shirt that Daniel also brought, I can’t help but get worried about what the scratches would do in the future,

    LeviI tighten my hands around Lauren’s throat, feeling it pulse under my touch. There’s the level of satisfaction to that that I can’t explain.It's dark and it's something that I don't even want to acknowledge, but I would be lying if I say that it doesn't feel good.As I watch her eyes grow bigger with alarm, I feel more and more determined to end it this way. With her right under my hands, trying to fight off the force of my strength around her neck.I hate her, I realize as I try my best to finish her off and get this over with forever. She might just be an accomplice to her shitty brother, but she knows what she's doing.And if tonight is proof, I would say that she's not as innocent as she pretends to be. She's perfectly capable of making choices that would fuck other people up even more. She knows what she's doing.I still want to know so many things, like how she got to copy the scent of Arya and why she needed it anyway, when I can just tell completely that she's not my mate

    LeviMy heart nearly gets stuck inside my throat. I want to scream, but I find that I can’t. The pain in my chest is still much too great for that, and I hate that I’m not even sure I’m seeing the right thing.Is Lauren really here, or am I just manifesting the stupid dreams and thinking that I am seeing her?I blink rapidly to see if she is indeed there, and to my horror, the image of her smiling in the corner doesn’t vanish. She’s walking close to the bed I’m lying on, but Gammie doesn’t even move. She doesn’t even flinch. I know for a fact that she’s a very sensible old woman who can practically feel everything, so this worries me.I look at Lauren again and see that she's getting closer and closer, and as though to confuse me further, she touches the side of Gammie's shoulder.And the woman doesn't flinch.Is Lauren real right now? Because I can hear her footsteps. I can smell her scent. I can tell that she's getting closer to me and she feels very much solid right now.Could this

    LeviI was locked in a constant state of dreams and uncomfortable thoughts when they were operating on me.Part of me was conscious, but a bigger part of me just wasn’t. It was constantly floating in a state of blankness and anxiety, just a mish mash of things that shouldn’t go together. Sometimes I find myself dreaming of my parents and my childhood. Sometimes I find myself dreaming of my teenage years and my short days as an Alpha.But most of the time, I was dreaming of Arya.However, when I was about to wake up, I was dreaming of something else entirely. Something that resonated with my fear, the reason why I thought about bringing down the whole arena instead of participating in the fight that Connor and Lauren wanted to see.* * *In my dream, it was nighttime, and the lights in the arena are almost blinding me. My heart is pounding so fast that I feel like it's going to give out any moment. There are so many people around us. Too many, in my opinion. And they're all looking at

    Arya“Arthur,” I mutter, his name leaving my lips like a plea as I shift around in his bed. I know perfectly well that I’m sleeping, but I also know that even in this state, Arthur is still the one in my mind. My Lycan, my mate, my love. Even though I know consciously that our relationship is in jeopardy because of his choices, I still want him, and he’s still the face I long to see in my dreams.And in my dream, I see him getting dragged away by the Rogues.“No!” I yell, but in this dream world, I’m voiceless. I’m powerless. All I can do is stand there while my mate gets clawed at by the dirty outcasts. All I can do is watch while he screams for me.“Help me, Arya!” His voice rings out in the darkness of our background. “Don’t let them take me!”He holds out his hand to reach for me. I extend my arm to get him. However, he’s already too far. He’s already too close to the mouth of the dark tunnel they’re taking him to. One of the Rogues, seeing that he has his hand outstretched, kick

    AryaMy mouth goes dry at the sight of Arthur.He closes the distance between us, getting on top of me and taking both of my hands before putting them over my head.His lips are urgent on mine, intent on devouring. I can feel his hardness against my thighs. His hungry mouth travels down to my neck and on my collar bones, lower down to my breasts. When his warm mouth closes over my nipple, I almost explode. He sucks it, his tongue sweeping over it until I feel feverish. I close my eyes, not even aware that he let go of my hands until he starts to squeeze my other breast.He pulls his head away from my nipple and begins to suck the other. My hips are moving on their own. I'm so wet I can feel myself dripping on the sheets.I bury my hand in his hair, moaning loudly. But he's not done with me, cause before I knew it, his lips are traveling lower again. Until his face is between my legs. Lucien grabs my thighs and pries them apart. Then he leans forward, sweeping his tongue on my wet core

    AryaLike an idiot, I turn to Arthur and ask, “About what?”He laughs softly, but the humor doesn’t reach his eyes. There’s a certain hint of sadness there, combined with another emotion that I can’t really place. Either way, seeing it in his eyes is throwing me a little off balance. I want to come with him and get to the bottom of it, but at the same time, I feel like he’s so serious that I don’t want to find out what he wants to say.“Just come with me,” he says gently. “Please?”“Well, of course,” I say, glancing back at Levi who is now sleeping soundly. “Who will be watching him? He can’t stay here alone, can he?”"I'm right here," Nancy says all of a sudden, appearing seemingly out of thin air. She wedges herself into the room and immediately comes to look at Levi, adjusting something on the IV that he's connected to. "I will be watching over him for the night. You two go talk, okay?""Thank you, Nancy," Arthur says, then he turns to me with that very same smile that doesn't reac

    AryaMy heart leaps with joy. It’s something that I haven’t felt in what seems like forever, and I can feel it spreading all over me like a warm ray of sunshine. A smile appears on my face, and I look at Arthur.“He’s awake,” I whisper, and even I have to notice the sheer relief in my voice. “He’s alright. He made it. . . .”Arthur smiles at me and leans over to kiss my forehead. “I know, and I’m happy. Now go talk to him okay?”I nod, and with that I go with Nancy, who suits me up with a protective layer of clothing before we go inside.They have converted the infirmary room into a real hospital room. There are machines beeping everywhere, and there are also potions emitting sweet smelling steam somewhere in the room. There are some tools laying around, but the only thing that catches my attention is Levi lying down on the bed, his pillows fluffed up to prop him up into a sitting position.His face is pale, and his hair is slicked back over his handsome face with sweat. I can tell th

    Arya“What is it?” I ask Nancy with my voice shaking immensely. I get up from my seat but I feel like the ground is lurching under my feet and I feel like I’m going to fall over if I don’t have something to cling onto. Thankfully, Arthur gets up and offers his arm to me. “What’s the problem?”Nancy hesitates, and I honestly hate how angry I became just in that moment. I want to scream at her and tell her that I am not playing games around here, that if something is up, then I must know immediately because I’ve been waiting for a long time to hear about him. Besides, the only person he has right now is me. His parents are not here and the others are back at the pack. I am the only one he has. . . .“Please,” I just say in a strained voice, looking at her and wanting to get on my knees and beg and corner her at the same time. Emotions are just running high inside my chest and I want nothing more but to know. “Please, what is happening? Is Levi okay? Will he make it?”“The truth is, I do

    Arthur My blood goes cold. I swallow hard, thinking of what to say, but my mouth is completely dry and my throat is closing up. I want to assure Levi that I won’t leave him here, but he’s looking at me like he’s daring me to say those words just so he could reject them completely. So instead of talking it through with him and risking any rejection, I lift him up to his knees and very carefully start to chip away at the piece of rock lodged inside his body. Thankfully, the rock is easy to chip off, as it seems to be made of hardened mud instead of actual stone. I manage to clip it down close to his body so it won’t move or damage anything inside him. He kept groaning and screaming the entire time, and I just had to close my hearing so that I wouldn’t hear it and experience the pain of seeing him go through it. When I’m done, I take him into my arms, not caring about how weird it could look or what he has to say, and it seems that he still has a lot to say. As though to prove my poi
