Aria's perspectiveI walked into the room and lay on the bed, it wasn’t quite long when I heard a knock on the door and Neon’s voice came up.“Aria, open the door. It’s me.”I stood up from the bed and trudged towards the door and opened it. I let him into the room.“Are you okay?”I scoffed at his question.“Did you cry?” He reached out to touch me but I took a step back.“Aria, what’s wrong?”“You aren’t covered in blood anymore, you went to wash up and come here to deceive me with a smiling face.”“What are you talking about, I thought we had sorted things out, why are you...?”“Stop pretending!” I raised my voice at him, why was he trying to feign ignorance when he knew of what he did?Why was he acting like everything was okay? When he knew it wasn’t! How long did he plan on keeping me in the dark?“Who were those men you killed, they were humans weren’t they?”“How did you...Aria that’s not a matter of discussion, and it was for the affair of the pack it shouldn’t be of your conce
Neon's perspectiveI grunted at the pain that explodes in my chest, and banged my fist on the wall in the hallway leaving a large dent in it. Aria should reject me! How dare she?!I couldn’t think of the pain I would feel if I had accepted her rejection. I would be broken, completely.“Diana!”She opened the door for me with a bright and innocent smile on her face, like she hadn't done horrible things already.“What did you say to Aria?” I asked, stepping into her room, Diana moved away from me.“What do you mean Neon?” Her voice wavered.“How dare you tell her to reject me?!” I yelled unable to quell my anger.“Neon, I—“ She sputtered and swallowed nervously, the smile had faded off her face.“I did it because of you. I told her because it was the right thing to do, she doesn’t belong here, can’t you see that?”“What have you been telling her?”“What she needs to know, she needs to know about our world before she can be the Luna of the pack, I only did as you asked.”My fist curled in
Aria's perspectiveI heard the door open a few minutes after Neon was gone, I shrank back thinking he was the one who came back but it was Silas. He came in holding a box, I curled up beside the bed, and when he reached out to touch me I moved away.“I’m not gonna hurt, Aria. I brought some ointment.” He lifted the box and dropped it gently in front of me. His eyes fell on the purplish mark around my arm, where Neon had held me. I saw his jaw jutting.“Can I...?” He tried to touch my arm, and I nodded.He didn’t have that scary look Neon had when he left the room.His fingers carefully brushed against the spot, and he rubbed some ointment on it.“You might want to roll up your shirt, I could use this too before the doctor comes here, it might help relieve the pains.” He muttered and glanced up at me.“Lay on the bed.”He helped me to my feet, his hands on my shoulders. I lay on the bed without his help, and rolled my shirt up a little, revealing my ribs to him.I heard him grunt and mu
Silas' perspectiveWhy did I lie to her?I should have told her the truth, it wasn’t Neon who sent me to her to check up on her, I came because I wanted to, and when I heard her cry, I felt awful about it.I know that I shouldn’t look at my Alpha’s mate but I couldn’t help it.Aria is innocent, sweet, and charming, so small and fragile. It makes me want to protect her from any harm.Neon came back to Aria when he left the prison yard, I thought he wouldn’t. He said he wanted to give her some time, but he didn’t do that.I was angry with him, even when I saw those marks on Aria’s arm. I was fuming inside but I couldn’t do anything.I didn’t want to see her getting hurt that’s why I asked Neon to either accept her or let her go back to the human city.“...you can leave Silas and get things done.” Neon used his Alpha tone on me. Each time he did that, I had no choice but to do as he ordered.Grumpily, I left him and Aria alone.I went about to the prison because that’s where he wanted me
Aria's perspective“I will prepare a bath for you when I’m done.” He had a towel hanging on his bare shoulders, as his bare chest was exposed.My eyes flickered down to his chest, his toned body, and abs, his lean waist, and the curves of the V-lines that went down his pants. My eyes flashed back to his face to see a smirk that was placed on his lightly chapped lips.I saw him drop his phone on the table and go into the bathroom. I wonder if I could take his phone and make a call.While I was having the thought, he emerged from the bathroom with a towel around his waist loosely.“Don’t move from the bed Aria.” He ordered, raising his eyebrows at me before turning his back and walking into the bathroom once more.How did he know that I had intended to leave the bed?He left the bathroom door wide open, probably so he could watch me if I would move from the bed.I sighed and placed my head on the headboard, trying not to take a peep of him bathing.I could take his phone who am I going t
Aria's perspectiveSharp tingles spread through my lips, traveling through my whole body as if it was on fire. The tingles didn’t stop as his lips were against mine.It was slow, and passionate, and wasn’t forcing it as if he was asking for my permission and when I kissed him back, he devoured my mouth his kiss turning hot and taking my whole mouth in his. My breast rubbed against his hard chest, and it made me heat up even more.My breath was coming in pants and I could hear my heart pounding in my head. He tore his lips away from mine while staring intently into my eyes. “You don’t know how hard that was to stop.” He muttered under his breath loud enough so I could hear.His fingers caressed my cheeks and kept my both hands above my head.“Is this why you wanted us to share the same bedroom?” I asked.His lips quirked amusingly. And it made my stomach tighten in response.His eyes drifted from my face down to my breast, “Maybe.” He uttered.His voice is deep and husky.“I will give y
Aria's perspectiveI woke to the feeling of a gentle hand thatcaresses my cheeks, my eyes opened slowly, and I saw the white ceilings, when I turned to the side, I saw Neon’s worried eyes and the white walls around the bed.I was about to lift my hand when I noticed the IV on my wrist.A weak smile crept onto Neon’s face. “You are awake.” He was seated on the edge of the bed, he drew nearer to me.I hummed and tried to lift myself from the bed. He stopped me and pressed a button on the bed and it raised into a sitting position.“I’m in a hospital?” I spoke after I found my voice. Last night I remembered I was in his bed, and now I’m in a hospital.“You passed out last night, you were a bit dehydrated and I need to have your ribs checked, you will go for a scan here at the hospital. I have made a private arrangement for you.” His hand tucked my hair neatly behind my ears.I glanced at the room. There was a two seater chair, a small table and a TV set. We were the only ones in there.“I
Neon's perspectiveI left Aria in the hospital room when she was sleeping, and met with the pack doctor at his office. He didn’t want to speak to me because Aria was there.He didn’t want her to hear our conversations.“Here is the result of the scan, she fractured a rib, but it would heal in time. She’s not a werewolf so it would make more time than usual, make sure she takes her medication.” The pack doctor said as he sat on his desk. I stared at the results for a moment and then squeezed them into my pocket.“She’s not in any critical condition is she?” I asked quietly.“No, Alpha.”“Is that all?” I asked, creasing my brows at him.“Yes. And I received a message from your Beta, he said he’s been trying to reach you and he couldn’t. He has something to say to you and it’s urgent.” He explained taking his phone from the table and showing me the text he received from Silas.“Let me know when Aria wakes up.” I squinted my eyes at him. I would meet up with Silas and know what was wrong.
Aria's perspectiveI didn’t know what was going on, and why was Diana missing but I was too tired to get up from the bed, my eyes felt heavy and I needed more nights of sleep.I brought one of the pillows close to my chest and wrapped my hand around it since Neon wasn’t in the room.My stomach grumbles as if I hadn’t eaten a while ago. After a while of tossing around, I eventually fell asleep.When I woke up, I was alone in the bed, and it felt as if something was hanging on my throat. I rushed out of bed into the bathroom and threw up on the toilet. My hand gripped the toilet seat and vomited everything that I ate last night.I flushed it down the toilet and splashed water on my face on the faucet. I washed my mouth as well and came out of the bathroom.“I was about to open the door, are you okay?” Neon was standing there with a towel in his hand.“Did you throw up?”“Yes.” I sighed.“I didn’t see you on the bed when I woke up.”“I left early, there was an emergency you were sleeping
Silas' perspectiveThe moment I went down the stairs with Rufus in my hand, we found Diana at the bottom of the stairs.She froze when she saw me, and her jaw dropped to the ground. She took a step down the stairs.Probably she wanted to eavesdrop to know what would become of me since the Alpha had caught on.I pulled Rufus along and met with her. “You will have a word with the Alpha soon. I won’t come for you now, Diana. Give me some time when I have gathered enough evidence, I will make you regret every choice you’ve made.” I whispered to her ears when I was close to her.I saw her fist cleaned, and her face was filled with fear and anger. She said nothing, there was nothing for her to say knowing that she had been caught.I pulled Rufus along, and out of the house. I could feel her eyes behind us, till we were out of the house.I handed Rufus to the prison guard and made sure he was watched and they won’t leave his side for a minute.I hurried to the Pack hospital. I needed a Pack D
Neon's perspectiveHer eyes snapped to my face, she took a step closer to me. “Neon.” She muttered in shock.“What do you mean I should leave, where would I go? Neon you know I have nowhere to go, this is my only home.”“Then you should have thought about your actions!” I raised my voice at her.“It was just sleeping pills you gave Aria, it could be poison next, and then what, you would kill her!” I was struggling to keep my wolf in check, we had just come from a long day at the meeting and came home to meet this.“Neon, no...” She shook her head as if she was going to justify her actions.“I didn’t know what came over me.”I huffed. “You didn’t know?”“I did.” She replied.“Are you messing with me now? The guards told me you planned this, you carefully made this plan and got the necessary things that you need, and you don’t know what came over you?”She fell on her knees, clasped her hands together, and cried. “I’m sorry, Neon.”“It’s Alpha!” I corrected her.“Alpha Neon please, I won
Neon's perspectiveI didn’t understand what was going on, I wanted to see my mate, Aria. If anything had happened to her, I made my way to the bed after picking up the duffle bag that I dropped. I dropped it on the floor beside the bed.My hand touched her hair and down to her face, she was breathing but her eyes were shut.She wasn’t having any clothes on, they must have stripped off from the dress she wore. I clenched my fist beside me and stared at Silas. “Who made my mate like this? Which of you strip her?”“It wasn’t me!” The guard who was on his knees immediately shouted. I tore my gaze off Silas when he was about to speak.“Who did?”“It was Luna Diana, Alpha. She was the one who took off her dress. We had only carried her into the room. We didn’t do anything else.” He rushed his words.I nodded, trying to understand why Diana would do such a thing. What was she planning that she had my mate involved in it?“And what are you doing here Silas?”“I already explained what happened
Silas' perspectiveMy eyes fluttered open after a while, I groaned and felt a hand pulling me. I opened my eyes fully and saw a guard pulling me along to the bed.“Fuck, why is he so heavy!” He grunted and dragged me forward.What was going on?And what was the headache that I felt earlier?I hit his hand off my body, and he jolted forward. I saw the shock on his face when he noticed that I was awake.“Why did you bring me here?”“B-Beta?” He sputtered as if lost for words.“Speak!” I shouted.Why did he bring me into Neon’s bedroom when I was talking with Diana earlier at the bar section?I glanced across the bed quickly. Aria was on the bed with the covers on. I darted my gaze away from her body when I saw that her shoulders were bare.What the fuck happened when I passed out?I stared at the other guard who was hiding behind the door and pulled him out of there. I slammed his back on the wall. “You will speak now or I will slit your throat!” I threatened.The other guard who had car
Diana's perspectiveWhen I left Neon in his study room, I couldn’t go back to sleep. If I don’t act fast, I might end up losing everything, and Neon would find out.If he does, that would be the end of me and I couldn’t let that happen.I paced around my bed, thinking of what I should do, and Silas was on my tail too. If the rogue gets caught, I will be in so much trouble, and it’s not gonna end well.I sighed and sat down on the bed after pacing back and forth for a long time.I bite my nails while thinking of what to do, I had to come up with a plan else it gonna be hell.Neon won’t believe anything I say, that it was all Aria’s fault that all of this was happening, he seemed as if he was bewitched by her and won’t think Aria could be of any wrong or anything was her fault.I hurriedly picked up my phone when it rang, and answered it.“Hello...” I said on the phone while waiting for the receiver to respond. He didn’t say anything for over a minute.“Can you hear me?”“Heard one of my
Neon's perspectiveI got informed of the meeting with the elders and had to leave the house.I didn’t want to leave Aria alone in the house though the guards were there but they weren’t as strong as my Beta or Gemma.The rogue was still on the loose, and he could find his way to the mansion. Aria said he saved her, I couldn’t help but be suspicious about him.He could come back here, and if I wasn’t around I need my Beta to be here to guide my home, and my mate and Diana as well.They are the people I cherish most and I don’t want anything to happen to them.I had a quick shower and dressed up. Aria was still sleeping. I kissed her lightly on her lips. “I love you, mate and I’m sorry.”I went out of the house, shutting the door quietly behind me.I will see her when I get back from the meeting, and I will try not to get back late. I couldn’t stay hours away from my mate.I drove to the pack house. We were having the meeting here.“Alpha...” The elders stood up when I came in, they lowe
Silas's perspectiveI stayed a while in Neon’s study after he went for a meeting with the council of Elders. I worked on the pack issues we were having and started arranging his study before he came back.I had to make sure the study room was cleaned, and every book was placed in the right order.I asked the Gemma to leave and go on with his work at the borders, and I was behind at the mansion.I was intentionally waiting to see Aria. Neon said she was asleep before he left and I was waiting for her to wake up so I could check up on her and hold a few conversations.I wonder how she was feeling, and if her wound was healing. I forgot to ask if Neon used his saliva on her because it can also heal wounds, she probably didn’t want to take Neon’s blood.Aria looked scared to be a werewolf and not after what she had seen, and what happened to her.She probably thinks we are all beasts.I ran a finger through my hair and stepped out of the study when it was past six.‘Should I ask the maid t
Aria's perspective“Do I have to be a werewolf?” I mumbled.She chuckled softly and folded her arms on her chest. She stared at me as if she wanted to read my thoughts.“How do you expect to lead a pack of werewolves when you’re human?” She asked amusingly.“I thought it could work.” My voice came out faintly.“Don’t be silly. Aria, think about it, we are werewolves, you’re just human. You’re different from us, werewolves like us can’t go to your city and become president of the states and that’s how it works here too.” She rolled her eyes.I pouted my lips. Neon told me he has an estate business in New York, and he’s influence in New York. He’s a werewolf but he was able to do all that.“Can they tell?”“We can easily sense that you’re human. It’s like a bad omen.”I clamped my mouth because I had no idea how to respond to that, I looked away from her.Her words hurt.Does Neon think like that as well? That I’m nothing but bad luck.“Do you think Neon thinks that way as well?” I asked
