THIRD PERSON'S POV

Aria has never had to deal with a hangover before, and she swore that it was the worst thing ever. Very early in the morning, Alpha Lucas had gone to fetch his mate, deciding that he could no longer stand not seeing his little mate.

Everyone who was up and about in the pack this morning had witnessed their Alpha with the Luna on his back. It was the only thing they could talk about. They talked about it so much that it eventually got to Maria, who was mopping the grounds.

She gritted her teeth and pretended she wasn't interested in the conversation.

“My wife said he wouldn't even let them greet him because he was afraid they would wake her.“

“Wow. Who knew the Alpha had such a soft side?“

“It only takes the right woman to bring out a man's soft side.“ He said and threw a mocking glance at Maria. She was the reason they were talking so loudly in the first place. Everyone in the pack knew about Maria's ambition to become the Luna.

Brielle wasn't wrong when she said

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Back in Red Moon pack, Alpha Kane had gone on another killing spree. The pack members had begun to whisper that maybe he would one day turn on them when he no longer had any rogues to kill. “By the time Alpha Kane is done with the rogues around here, we will be the most feared pack around here. No one would dare mess with us.“ A guard said. “You say it like it's a good thing.“ The other one countered. “It is.“ “One of these days, we, the protectors, are going to be rendered useless in the pack. What would be our job then?“ The guards feared for their jobs while the elders in the council were ecstatic. If the Alpha kept this up, they would be very feared, and maybe they could even extend their territory. In the next meeting, the council of elders wasn't so sure they could table the matter to him. He looked furious but not at anyone in particular. He just looked pissed. “Alpha, can we go on?“ “Hmmm.“ He only grunted. “Go on.“ He only said that. He wa

    ARIA'S POV Every day I wake up next to my mate, I'm filled with an incredible sense of ease. How did I get to be so lucky in life? “Good morning, baby.“ His voice was deep and hit the right spots. I was especially giddy with excitement this morning.“Good morning.“ I let my eyes trail to his morning wood, and he catches me there. “Don't even start with me this morning, baby.“ He groans, and I smile innocently at him. “I'm not even doing anything.“He rolls over me and gives me a long, thorough kiss that leaves me breathless. Reluctantly, he rolls off of me and stands from the bed.“I have a lot to do today, and if I take it any further, we won't be leaving this bed today.““Promises, promises.“ I taunt. He simply shakes his head and goes into the bathroom.Roughly an hour later, I'm fed, and we're on our way to the pack house. He suggested that we walk since it's such a lovely day out, and I have to agree with him. “I wish you weren't so busy today, you know?“ I tell him once we

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Aria and Brielle quickly realized that there might be a flaw in their plans. How were they going to invite the whole pack and still keep it a surprise from the Alpha?“Maybe we should just tell him?““No.“ Aria insisted. “I want it to be a surprise.““Ohh, I don't know how you're going to feel about this, but we should try inviting the pack members personally and tell them to keep it a secret as it's a surprise.““Good plan.“ Aria agreed. “Let's do it. We have to start with the elders, though, then we go to the guards and warriors' station.““Let's go.“ They called a maid to clean up the remnant of their short picnic date. Brielle was tasked with informing the men that they wished to go for a stroll around the pack.Brielle returned with two guards in addition to Stephen while Aria was explaining what she needed to the kitchen cooks. “The whole point of a feast is to have everything everyone would enjoy. Can you handle that?“ Aria was scared that she was giving the

    LUCAS’ POVTo say I'm stunned is an understatement. I'm shocked! How did she arrange this without me finding out?“…happy birthday to you!“ Everyone sings. I can't believe she did this.“Do you like it? Are you surprised?“ Aria blurts out nervously. I remind myself to say something. She doesn't know if I'm happy about it or not because, again, for some reason, I can't get a hold of my speech.“Thank you, baby.“ I finally say and pull her into a warm embrace. “I love it!“Her smile is relieved and proud. “I thought you might. Happy birthday, Lucas.“ She pulls me to join everyone else at the long table that's filled with all the food I can imagine.“Wow.“ I say as she urges me to take my seat at the end of the long table in the compound. I'm still a little stunned.“Happy birthday, Alpha.“ Brielle says with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, and I know for sure that she knows something about this. “Thank you, Brielle.“ Aria sits by my right, and I clutch her hand in mine. I have to get

    ARIA'S POVTonight is the night. I didn't need to be told twice that Lucas would not be waiting for me any longer. From the moment I told him that I was ready after that kiss at his birthday party, I knew there was no going back. That kiss had awoken a deep fire in me that only he could quench. “Brielle, I'll see you tomorrow.“ I said as I hugged her.“No, you won't.“ Lucas muttered, clearly eager to get home. We left the pack house a little while later. We didn't say anything to each other on the way home, but there was a comfortable tension between us. A static that buzzed and crackled.When we did get inside our home, he led me to the kitchen and handed me a glass of water.“I can't have you dehydrated, baby.“ He said. He trailed his fingertips over the nape of my neck. “You're going to be all mine.““Yours!“ I whispered and turned in his arms to face him squarely. “I want to be yours.““Dangerous words, baby.“ “I mean it.“ That was all the confirmation he needed before he swept

    THIRD PERSON'S POV “Oh, goodness.“ Aria's moans were loud enough to bring down a roof. Lucas knew from the stories he had heard from all the other Alphas that marking a Luna was only pleasurable to the Alpha. “My Luna couldn't stop crying when I marked her. She was in so much pain that I never thought about her because the pleasure was so consuming.“He was glad that he had heard all those stories from the ones who had experienced it. He was determined to make it less painful for her, which is why he rolled over so she was on top. This way, his c*ck would hit new angles.She shyly took control, and he let her. He watched her face carefully to see if she was about to come. He pressed kisses to her chest and led a trail up to her neck.She squirmed against him when his teeth lightly grazed her neck, the exact spot where his mark would be. “That feels so good.“ She moaned and bounced on top of him. Her eyes were closed, which meant she was about to explode again. He put his hands betw

    LUCAS' POV Aria yawned and pushed her food around on the plate.“Not hungry?““One would think I would have worked up an appetite after sleeping literally all day and, you know, after…” She trailed off at the mention of being intimate. She was still so shy. She was going to have to break it out of her. I want her to be completely comfortable with me. We would have to work on that gradually.I smirked at her. “You mean after you had your way with me?“Her cheeks reddened. “That wasn't what happened.“ She whispered as if there was someone else nearby.“So you didn't ask me to put it in?““Lucas,” she was horrified. “Don't say it like that. I don't know what you're talking about.“She looked so mortified that I decided to stop teasing her. The only thing that gave me satisfaction was that she changed into a whole new woman when she was seeking pleasure.“Have a few bites, baby. Then we can go to sleep. It's been a long day.“ Obediently, she scooped up about three spoons of pasta. She fi

    ARIA'S POV I had been feeling a tingling sensation in my head ever since we stepped out of our home. I put it off as one of the changes Lucas said my body would go through. I know he said I should come to him, but he surely doesn't mean for every little thing. The sensation had begun to intensify as we got closer, but I still didn't say anything. Surely, it would go away soon. My vision was swarming and I could barely see anything when I spotted Brielle. She was coming towards me with her arms open. She was also saying something I couldn't comprehend when I heard a voice in my head. Multiple voices. Different emotions and expressions. Some were faint while some were loud. “A fairy I would like to sit on my face.“ I recognized Lucas' voice as the loudest. What was happening to me? “Aria!“ Lucas yelled. I couldn't figure out for the life of me if it was in my head or not. “What's going on?“ “Is she going to die?“ I know I was falling backward, and I had surrendered to my bod

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Alpha Lucas stood still for a moment, trying to make sense of everything. His wolf was threatening to come out and destroy everything in sight, but he stood still and let the anger wash over him. He was going to freaking end everyone who had a hand in this. First, he walked mechanically through the house as if he were a stranger. He was looking at it like he wanted to pick out every piece of detail. His wife's scent was still in here. There was a second and third scent. The second scent was a completely foreign one, while the third one was so faint that he thought he was imagining it. But he was not. Maria had been in here, that b*tch! He stopped when he got to the kitchen. She had been cooking! Everything was laid out in perfect order except for the water that had boiled over and the soggy pasta. He froze at the sight and again forced his wolf to stay put. She had been cooking for him, and she had been taken. The only thing that would save Maria from his wrath w

    ARIA'S POV The last thing I remember was sitting in the kitchen trying to fix myself something. The next thing that happened was still elusive. Brielle had offered to stay the night, and I had refused her. "My husband takes up Cole's day, so he's unable to see his wife. I can't do that to him tonight too." She had laughed but had agreed with me. She knew I was right. It was important for all couples to have some alone time together at the end of each day."If you say so. Just promise me you'll be okay. Cole told me something earlier about Gamma Lane finding a lead.""I guess he'll tell me about it when he comes back.""I can stay with you till then.""No. Go fix yourself something to eat. Your husband's got to be tired after a long day at work chasing leads.""You're right." She got to her feet and gathered all the card games she had brought with her. "I should go cook for my husband. I'll see you tomorrow, Luna.""Thank you for your help.""You know I'm down to hang out with you a

    LUCAS' POV Aria has refused to leave the house. She won't be persuaded. On the second day, I had told her that her security details would multiply. She simply looked at me like I was insane."I'm not walking around with ten men.""I just want you to continue with your normal life. Don't you think the pack members are going to suspect that something is going on when you refuse to make an appearance?""Who knows? They might not even notice." She brushed me off and went into the bathroom."Not notice? Are you kidding me?" I had followed her into the bathroom, where I found her just staring in the mirror, tears in her eyes."Baby, I'm sorry I raised my voice.""No, it's not you. I just don't feel safe outside. I feel like I'm being hunted. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I hate that he can still make me feel this way." Her outburst had been expected, and in a way, I welcomed it because then I knew what she was really feeling."Come here," I had rocked her to sleep. She had drifte

    ARIA'S POV I woke up slowly. Last night came slowly to me in a rush, and my lips stretched in a satisfied smile. My body was pleasantly sore in all the right places. I stretched my hand to find the other side of the bed cold. He had to be downstairs. I brushed my teeth and put on my robe before going downstairs. I stopped when I found Brielle lounging on my couch. "Luna, you're up.""Yes, I am. Am I dreaming, or are we in an alternate universe where we're married?"She threw her head back in laughter. "I would like that very much.""I felt you might." I laughed too. "But seriously, what's going on?""The Alpha had to go to the pack house. There was something urgent going on.""Oh?" My curiosity was piqued. "Do you know what?""I don't know either. Someone came to get Cole. He left me in bed before he told me to come stay with you. I think it's something serious. There are like a dozen guards outside right now.""Are you serious?""Dead serious.""I must have been more exhausted than

    LUCAS' POVA loud banging on the front door woke me up, and I scowled. Who the hell would interrupt my sleep? I looked around, and it was already morning. Aria had high desire last night and who was I to deny my woman of anything?I looked at her as she stirred briefly. I would kill someone if she wakes up. Thankfully, she settled back on her side and slept off again.The banging was louder now, and it finally kicked me into action. No one would dare to interrupt me if it wasn't an emergency. I didn't step out of the house all day yesterday, and there was no call for me.I threw on my discarded jeans and rushed downstairs. It was Victor, Aria's personal bodyguard. I would be worried about her if she weren't upstairs, sleeping soundly.“Good morning, Alpha.““What's going on, Victor?“ It better be something very important.“The Beta said to get you now.““What the hell? What is he doing in the pack house at this time of the morning?““He was woken up too.““By whom?““A guard, Alpha. I

    THIRD PERSON'S POVThe next evening, Alpha Kane and Maria shared a glass of wine in his garden. He marveled at how well-kept the flowers were. He couldn't remember the last time he was there.“I could spend the rest of my life in here.“ She said, breaking the silence.“Except we can't.“ He chuckled. “You have responsibilities. You're going to be their savior, remember?““You're right.“ She sipped her wine and admired the flowers. He took that time to admire her. Her beauty was not something you could take in at once. Why anyone would choose Aria over her was still something he couldn't yet comprehend. Maybe Aria truly had them under a spell. He laughed. Aria was incapable of doing anything. It had to be that the Alpha was just st*pid.He glanced away before his staring would become obvious or uncomfortable. In another life, she was the type of woman he would have pursued. She had the same qualities that had drawn him to Lori. Lori was smart and ambitious. Same as Maria. The only diffe

    THIRD PERSON'S POV“We have to hit her in a way she won't be able to recover from. Remove her permanently and take over.“ Maria said.“It has to be a clean job. Done in a way that she can't go back and he can't come for her.““Let's do that.“ They talked deep into the night and deliberated back and forth on their plans.“I'll forever be in your debt if we're able to pull this through.“ Kane said. He meant it, too. He didn't let himself owe people often. He hated being in anyone's debt. However, this was a special case. Not only did Maria solve his council situation, but she also indirectly delivered to him fresh blood that was enough to calm his wolf down. To cap it all, she was going to deliver Aria to him on a golden platter. “We are going to be even, Alpha. Because of your collaboration, my long-time dream will be coming true. You're fulfilling my dreams for me.““I'm happy we can help each other out.“ He was even more impressed with her outlook. It was rare to find a woman who wa

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Aria found herself partly excited and partly cautious. Brielle was supposed to be pained for her father, yet she was able to be excited for a night out with her. There was something she was missing.Lucas had come with her. He had been so sweet and attentive to her that she felt seen. "Do you think you'll be able to go out? I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do." He was saying to her now."Don't worry, Lucas. I'm going to be fine. I'm trying to demystify today, right?""Still, if you do not feel like going out, we can stay home and watch something on TV. We can even watch that horrible series you like so much." She laughed. Aria had been trying to get him to watch Twilight with her for a while now. Unsuccessfully. He staunchly refused to watch something that had so grossly misrepresented their kind. It shows how much he cared for her well-being."Honestly, I'm okay." She stopped in front of him. He was perched on the edge of their bed as he watched

    ARIA'S POV Something is going on in the pack, I decided. Brielle has been acting shady for a while now, and I can't honestly point out when she started acting up."What's going on, Brielle? You've never been this distracted.""I'm sorry. Cole was telling me something.""Oh. You know you can talk to me about anything, right?""I know.""So talk to me. You've always been there for me. Let me do this for you, right? I feel like I'm always burdening you with my problems, and I never ask you about yours. I know how selfish that sounds now.""Aria, you're the last person to claim to be selfish. I can't bear to burden you with any more when I know how much work it is to deal with the pack."It is hard work to constantly shut out other people's feelings and emotions. Sometimes, I even get a stray thought. Most times, I have to go see what's bothering someone like that, but that's still not an excuse to neglect my friend."It's not too much at all, and you know how much I enjoy doing it. So p
