Knight's P.O.V"Two birds at a stone, I think this phrase is made only for you," My Gamma Rick chuckled as we both watched Hunter and team leave the pack for the rescue of the people of Deadcrest pack.Poor Alpha really thought my real intention was to get the members of Deadcrest under my captive.I couldn't blame him. How would he even know that The knight they were trying to save his pack members from was now residing in the same pack? These games were too advanced for him."What a misfortune! The Alpha doesn't know what treasure I am aiming for," I tsked shaking my head, a small smirk made its way onto my face as I blew out the smoke of the cigar.My eyes slowly drifted to look at Aria who watched her mate leave from the view of the window, tears were brimming in her beautiful doe eyes."What do you plan to do next, Alpha?" He asked, "Take over this pack whilst Hunter's away?" "After all these days, you still couldn't understand Alpha's game," B
AriaI saw as he was leaving for Deadcrest pack with Simon and a few other warriors who accompanied him.Something just did not feel right to me. It was not only about this sudden departure, there was something else my gut was telling me that I couldn't fathom.I believed in Hunter. I knew he was going to be able to save the lives of those people and come back safely. He was capable enough to handle tough crises like this.But why was this weird feeling crawling up my skin? Telling me that there was something I didn't know about.As all these thoughts began creating a jumbled mess inside of my head, I felt someone's eyes on me.My eyes looked everywhere in a rush but there was none. Literally none.Who could be even watching me at this hour? It must be a hallucination.I shook my thoughts away and wiped the tears that had managed to gather in my eyes before I pulled the curtains and walked towards the bed.The feel of Hunter's lips was still lingering on mine from the kiss we shared b
AriaFor the past few hours, I had finished checking the borders with the help of Hunter's Gamma, I checked on the injured warriors, visited the locked buildings to see if there has been any interruption of any intruder, and paid a visit to the training center too. It turned out that Hunter had assigned his trusted fellows for the other duties before he left so that I wouldn't have to fall under any pressure of extra toils.Mom was right; Hunter was trying to be a better man for me.I had seen his efforts myself but maybe some of his deeds from the past and mistakes from the present made me disregard all of them.Currently, I was seated on a bench set closer to the garden just to give myself a few moments to enjoy the view of the sky and derive relaxation."Hey, Aria," I heard a familiar voice and my head snapped to stare at the pathway.I saw Drake walking closer to me with a smile on his face."Oh..hi, Drake," I smiled."What are you doing here? enjoying the view?" He sat beside me
AriaIt hadn't been seconds since I heard the sound of Pack borders being broken from the east when the sound of heavy paws was heard from all sides. They were running toward us at full speed and worst of all they were hundreds in number.For a moment, my mind stopped working.But then every fiber in my body got alert.I saw dad and Brian getting out of the packhouse and I shouted."Dad, Brain....it's the rouges!" Their stare moved at me and eyes widened upon hearing my statement but before any of them could even do anything we all heard the loud howls of the rouges.Maybe I was wrong. They are more than hundreds in Number.And they were close...very close."Dad, Get the children and elderly members to a safe place." I hurriedly spoke and he did not waste a second sprinting into the packhouse."Brian, please go and alert everyone," I told him before I turned around and shiten within no minute.It took only a few minutes to hear the howls of our pack members shroud the place. But I kn
AriaMy eyelids felt heavy as I tried to open them. I couldn't move but I could feel the pain attacking my body, the pace of my heartbeats increasing every second.The soft surface underneath me, the beeping sound of the cardiac event monitor, and the smell of various medicines told me that I was in the hospital.I once again tried to open my eyes but every muscle of my body was in excruciating pain that I could not even describe the bare minimum. There was an invisible weight that was forcing my body down on this hospital bed and prevented me from making any movements at all.How did I even end up here?The moment the question had passed through my mind, the answer came back swashing into my head like a rushed frantic wave of memories. The rouges, the jungle and darkness, and finally Drake....Suddenly the weight that'd pinned me down where I was, vanished in thin air. I opened my eyes and my body shot up.My eyes looked everywhere in a rush as I sat up. My breathing came out as pant
AriaI combed through my hair which was a mess of tangles after the shower. I returned to the pack house in the morning, it'd turned out that my injuries have healed just the one on my lower was still there but that too didn't hurt as much as before.I slipped on my clothes, well actually Hunter's.For some reason, his t-shirt and shorts seemed more comfortable and once I wore them, I knew that this was the best decision I had taken in a while.And his cologne on them made the experience even cozier.I shifted on the bed and pulled the duvet over my body as I leaned against the headboard releasing a sigh.Hunter was going to be here at night.Just a few hours of patience.....Suddenly I heard a knock on the door.It must be...Before the completion of my thought, I heard his voice."May I come in?" "Yes, come in," I responded immediately.I had left the door open for him because I knew he was going to be here since I had sent one of the maids to tell him to come to my room."You call
AriaI anxiously looked at the clock whilst my ears focused on the tick-tock sound of it. Each time the minute hand would pass the number twelve, my anxiousness would reach its peak.I couldn't wait for him to arrive. I wanted to see him, hug him. push every one of my thoughts away and embrace him forgetting all his mistakes and letting go of my grudges.I had tried. In the past, in the present, and even tried to resist him but now I knew, that resisting him would never be possible. Hunter Rodriguez ran in my veins, he was imprinted in my damn soul and I would never be able to wipe him off.I was so bloody in love with him. I fucking loved him! And suddenly I heard it, the familiar footsteps arriving at a rapid speed.My eyes shot to look at the doorway and the next second it flew open.My eyes met thinned green pupils of Hunter.Suddenly my vocabulary fell completely empty, my mind went in a rush, my heartbeats picked up a pace and my emotions went out of the boundaries.He was here
AriaI woke up to Hunter's gentle caresses. I felt his light kisses from on the side of my neck traveling towards my cheek and the corner of my mouth.A smile fought to become visible on my face and I moved closer to him, resting my hands on his chest and burying my face into his neck as I inhaled his scent. As always, he smelled heavenly."So you are awake," He spoke and pulled me even closer."Did you sleep well, baby?" he asked and rubbed the pad of his thumb over my waist."Yeah," I whispered, focusing more on taking in his scent rather than paying attention to his question and he was well aware of it.If I was being completely honest, I had to admit that the feel of his bare body against mine even though I was covered by a shirt did feel like the most pleasurable thing in the world.God certainly created Hunter to beat perfection."Your wound, is that hurting anymore?"I shook my head in response and pressed my nose against the skin on his neck. God damn it! He was addicting.I
