THIRD PERSON'S POV

Alpha Kane is having one of his nightmares. This time, it's a little bit tamer. It's the one where Lori was chasing him, and he thought he would find solace in Aria when she all but shut the door on him. As usual, he woke up in a cold sweat.

“Where am I?“ He thinks to himself as he experiences a brief wave of panic before he remembers that he's in his room. He hurried over to the wet bar in the nearly empty pack house to knock down a few glasses of something he doesn't even recognize. It burns his throat, so he takes a wild guess that it's whisky.

“Alpha Kane,” someone says to him. “Should I serve your dinner now?“

“Dinner?“ He wondered how long he had been sleeping for and when he even fell asleep.

He turned around, and the face before him blurred and was replaced firstly by Aria's face, and then it morphed into Lori's look of pleasure as the faceless man pumped into her.

Without thinking twice, he raised his hand and gave the elderly cook a slap. A slap that sent

    Third Person's POVAria had finally settled into the moonlight pack. On a normal eventless day, she knew where she would be at every point in time. In the morning, she would wake up long after Lucas had gone on his run. She would make bacon, pancakes, and waffles just in time for him to get back from his run. She would get ready while he went upstairs to get dressed. Sometimes, she would sit with him, and they would talk about anything and everything. This morning, she had gone to get dressed while he ate, and he had walked in as she dropped her robe. That was enough to make him stop in his tracks.Their gazes collided in the mirror. She was sure her own eyes held the same desire she saw in his. He was heavily aroused, and his scent was just the right shade of alluring.Like he couldn't help himself, he quickly covered the short distance between them. “You have no idea how gorgeous you look right now.“To her own surprise, she didn't even feel the slightest urge to cover herself up.

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Alpha Lucas couldn't remember the last time he was this happy, and it was because of his little mate. He had become less snappy, and he now had a small smile for everyone in the pack. His pack was thriving, and times were peaceful. He began to think of his little mate as his good luck charm. She was the light in his world, and he thanked his stars every day that one man had been st*pid enough to let her go.He spotted her now in the pack house compound as she threw her head back in laughter at something Brielle had said. Yesterday, after the intimate session they had after her shower, he had been craving her more and more. He lost count of how many times he had caught himself daydreaming about her. He wished that he didn't have so much work to do so he could drag her to bed and have her all to himself. He observed the pretty column of her neck where her pulse fluttered. One of these days, she would finally be ready to be marked. He just had to bid his time.“My Al

    ARIA'S POVAfter the morning Lucas and I spent together, I had been a little apprehensive, so I turned to my friend, Brielle. Since she has been mated long before me, I felt like she would know more about it. “So, what exactly is the problem? You didn't like it? Hmm, Alpha Lucas doesn't look like he can't handle a woman in bed.“I blushed. “He does know how to handle me, alright.“ The memory of his large hand on my hips grinding me on his hard length flashed through my head. "Ohhh, look at you blush.“ She cackled. “What's the problem, then?"“Marking… What is it supposed to feel like?““Oh. It depends on your partner, and generally, it's supposed to be a little bit painful but a whole lot more pleasurable.““Right?““Yes."“Lucas doesn't think I'm ready.““Your mark is going to be a little bit more painful. You're going to be Luna. Your mark might hurt more, so I think he's scared of doing it.““I think I'm ready though.““Maybe you'll tell him by yourself.“ “I don't know. What if

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Maria reviewed the events of the days that she has had to survive ever since that girl from nowhere became the Luna. Although she couldn't say she came from nowhere. Her days had been filled with humiliation and mockery from the people who had once adored her. These people who knew her story. They had all witnessed how hard she had struggled in life. She thought it was only befitting that she become the Luna. It was her right. She had worked hard and smart. She had given it her all only for that girl to derail her plans.Any normal person would have admitted defeat and moved on with their life except Maria was not normal. She didn't even think she was a sore loser. She thought of herself as a woman who went after what she wanted aggressively without minding how it was affecting anyone else.Her parents died when she was only four years old. They had no living relative, so she was left at the mercy of the pack. Lucas' mother had been Luna then, so she was well take

    LUCAS' POV“Why do you look so worried?“ I didn't even know Cole had entered. That's how deep in my thoughts I was.“Worried? More like anxious.““Well, what about it?" The packhouse was nearly empty, and Aria was not around. She had literally tricked me into letting her go to Brielle's for a girl's night. “You know I've never had a real friend, let alone a girl's night out.“ She looked up at me with those huge eyes of hers. She knows I can't say no when she looks at me like that.“But what about me?“ I was close to causing a tantrum right there and then, and I should have hated how vulnerable I sounded, but she's the only one I can be like this around. She's the only one I can show my soft side to without any reservation.“Baby,” she said softly, and I had melted. She rarely called me anything else other than my name, so it was a big deal for me. “It's just one night. You'll be fine. Before you know it, I'll be back right in your arms.“Except she lied. She left around thirty minute

    ARIA'S POV My first girls night out, and it was an absolute blast. I had to keep pinching myself that I'm not dreaming. We were up for most of the night talking about anything and everything.When she first brought it up at the beginning, my first thought was that it was somehow a trick or a plot for her to hurt me before I realized that she had no reason to hurt me.Not that my former pack members ever needed a reason to hit me. They just did whatever they liked concerning me. “So what are you going to do?“ I had forgotten that she was still waiting for my response.“Huh?““The girls night out.““Where would we go?““Nowhere. We're going to do it at my house. I'll set up a pillow fort in front of the TV and get lots of snacks for us to munch on.““Are you sure that's all?“ I ask dubiously. Usually, when the girls in my former pack talk about a girls night out, they mean like at least seven of them hitting all the clubs in town and getting drunk. One time they even ventured into the

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 The next day is the scheduled day for Maria's execution. Lucas is laying on top of me, holding all his weight on his forearm so he doesn't crush me, trying to convince me not to go to the execution."Baby, why would you want to see that woman? I want you to forget all about her, okay?" He says softly as he presses hot open mouthed kisses to my face."I don't think I can ever forget about her but if I see this for myself, then I'll know that she's gone forever. That would make me feel safe. You want me to be safe, don't you?" I take his face in my hand so I can angle his lips to mine but he continues to kiss all over my face and leaves out my lips.I shift underneath him so he's resting in between my legs. My nightgown is lost between us so his briefs are the only barrier between my hot throbbing core and his length. I try to grind over his length but his weight keeps me from moving."Lucas," I whine.

    LUCAS' POV I moved Aria back to our home very early the next morning. I didn't want her to get swamped with the people waiting for her to get out. Even as I backed the car away from the parking spot, they swarmed and tried to get a glimpse of her."Can't I just wave to them or something? I honestly feel bad for ignoring them like this.""They know you need to get your strength together." "You're just being mean on purpose." She pouted, and I ignored her. Trying to argue with her was like arguing with a mule."No, baby. I'm just trying to protect you." "Sure." Thankfully, she closed her eyes and rested her eyes till we got to our home."Here we are, baby." I help her down from the SUV. Her eyes glisten with tears as she takes in the first view of our house for the first time in two weeks. It seems that it's been longer than that."I missed this so much. You know I was cooking. I wanted to apologize to you for making you feel like you couldn't protect me." She says softly, and my wo

    ARIA'S POVSilence. Darkness. Everything is still. Deathly still. Not a tree or leaf is moving. For a moment, I don't know where I am. My eyes open even though my eyes were opened. I'm in the same clearing like the one I was in when I first became Luna. I'm dressed in white, and I seem to be walking in dirt, but my gown remains intact. "What is happening?" I whisper to myself, and I find that I can't speak. I can think, but I can't speak out loud.Suddenly, in the middle of the wandering. I don't know how long I wander for, but I'm suddenly enveloped by a sudden darkness. "Baby," the voice sounds so familiar. It's close yet so far away. It's strangely reassuring and filled with so much pain that I want to hold him close. I want to kiss his pain away but I can't because I can't find him. I fall to the ground and weep in pain. "I'm going to leave you for a few hours. If today's the day you finally decide to wake up, please wait until I'm here. I want to be the first thing you see. I'm

    THIRD PERSON'S POV The people of the Red Moon pack were not happy. They have been going through possibly one of the worst periods in their entire existence. The war that was supposed to bring them all the fame and glory that they thought they deserved only did the exact opposite. They had stayed up all night waiting for their warriors to bring them glory and fame. They had gathered at the pack square, telling stories and recalling fond memories about their pack. Strangely, no one mentioned the former Alpha Kane in all these fond memories. They all collectively agreed not to talk about the man."No one ever saw Jon after Lori's incident, right?" One of the girls asked."Please. Would you have stayed on in the pack if something like that happened to your only family and sister?""You're right. I sure hope Jon is happy wherever he is." The other replied. Unknown to the girl, Jon was indeed happy where he was because at the time when they were waiting for their warriors to arrive, he wa

    THIRD PERSON'S POV All through the night, Alpha Lucas couldn't sleep. He kept thinking of how close Maria was. She was going to go through so much pain that she wouldn't believe it, yet he wouldn't kill her. He would draw out her pain and suffering for as long as he could. He had trouble falling asleep, and only the lull of Aria's faint pulse finally pulled him into a shallow sleep that was filled with nightmares.The dreams were different yet the same. He was in all of them. Aria was, too. She was sinking, and he couldn't get to her fast enough because Maria was in the way. He couldn't go through her, not if he wanted to stay alive. He woke up in a cold sweat and plagued with such deep fear that only the sight of Aria calmed him down.He would fall asleep again, only for him to experience the same thing over and over again. In one dream, Aria was in a quicksand. In another, she was being tortured. In another, she was in a fire so hot that he couldn't get to her. In all of it, he cou

    LUCAS' POV I was brushing her brown hair back when I heard a knock on the door. I scowled immediately. I specifically told the nurses not to let anyone in except, of course, Lane, Cole, and his wife. I doubt why any of them would be here at this time of the night. Aria still hasn't opened her eyes, and it's been eleven days.This morning, I told the doctor to give it to me straight after his routine morning check-up."What's going on, doctor? Do I need to consult another doctor? Is there anything else I should be doing?" I feel so helpless just seeing her lie there day after day. My wolf has been completely withdrawn. I haven't seen the love of my life. She might be laying there, but that's not her. I haven't seen her eyes and her smile in so long."It's not looking good, Alpha." He had said honestly. "There was trauma, but we had quickly treated those. There's no reason why she shouldn't be awake by now.""So what are you going to do?""When I say it's not looking good, I didn't me

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Maria's confidence was at an all-time high. She knew how today was going to play out. She was finally going to get her revenge. According to Thomas's unknown source, Aria was still in a coma, and Lucas was absolutely devastated. She didn't doubt the news for a minute. It was to be expected."Don't worry, Lucas. I'm going to blow your mind." She smiled at herself. At some point, she was beginning to question if this was all worth it. She got the same answer all the time. Yes, it was worth it. Lucas was worth it. That afternoon, she stood beside Alpha Thomas as he addressed his warriors. They looked like they would rather be anywhere else than here. It was all she could do to keep herself from snapping at them. Where was that zeal to succeed? Where was their bloodlust? Honestly, she knew these people didn't have any chance against Moonlight's pack elite warriors, but that would only work in her favor."Gentlemen, this is our chance to make history." He had told them

He grinned tiredly at her. "You look beautiful.""And you look tired." She pulled him in and immediately got to making him as comfortable as possible. She drew him a bath and brought out a microwaved chicken. She always kept something for him in case of impromptu visits like this one.After his bath, he sat down to eat and caught her up on the latest development. Jon had told her every detail of his mission even though he had been severely warned against it by both sides he was working for.Jon had been broken after his only family, the woman who had raised him was humiliated and killed in front of the entire pack.

Beta Cole and Gamma Lane had to take complete control.The last time either of them got any response from the Alpha was on the second day. Beta Cole had gone to inform him about the purchase of the land they had been meaning to buy all this while."I trust you, Cole. Handle this however you like." He had said to him. He wasn't leaving his wife's side, not to eat and certainly not to take care of his appearance. He still had on the shorts he had on from the night of the attack, and he had pulled a sweatshirt over it, but that was all."Have you seen him recently? Do you think I can go see him?" Brielle asked her husband this morning as he got ready to go to work."I was too swamped with work yesterday, and I think Lane saw him yesterday.""I'm going to go by today." She said.
