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 perspective“Hey, you are awake.” I heard the resounding metallic voice but it wasn’t the voice of Neon.When I opened my eyes expecting to see Neon, it was someone else. I squeezed my eyes shut when I realized where I was and the reason I was here.“Aria, are you okay?” His voice came again.It was Silas.Where is Neon? And why is Silas here and not him?“Where is Neon?” I asked tilting my head to the side, and asked. He was standing beside the bed with his hands on both sides of the bed.He withdrew his hands and stood erect.“He is in a meeting, he couldn’t make it else he would have been here. He asked me to take you home when you wake up.” He replied and shoved his hands into his pocket. His looks were skeptical but he said nothing.“I will get the car ready, I brought you some clothes you should change into. I will be back.” He broke the few minutes of silence and went out of the room.My eyes fell on the duffel bag on the chair. I sat on the bed and picked it up. There wa
Neon's perspective“Alpha, we heard that you have canceled the ceremony.” Chief Elder, Montana, a round short man said. A few of them sat across the chairs in the office.“We would deliver your message to the others in the pack when you give us the reason why you chose to cancel the ceremony.” He cleared his throat and folded his arms defensively across his chest.I sighed and sat up, I should have known this was the reason they wanted a meeting with me.“Everyone has been waiting for the mating ceremony, and Diana would officially become our Luna since you haven’t found your mate. This was how we planned it.” He added to his words, and the others nodded in agreement with what he said.“Why did you cancel the ceremony Alpha?” He asked.“What if I found my mate and she found out I have already chosen a Luna.”“Diana is a perfect Luna for our pack, I don’t think anyone could come close to her and she’s been with us for a long time. Alpha, it’s been more than a decade, and you never foun
Aria's perspective“You spend the night with Neon?” Diana asked as we stepped into the house.“He said I would be staying with him, he’s going to have my room reconstructed,” I answered, her facial expression was plain, I couldn’t tell what Diana was thinking.“It’s better that you, he could keep an eye on you.” She said with a small smile, while we took the stairs.“I’m still going to try and do the best I can for you. Aria but if you choose to trust Neon, I can’t do anything about that.”She let go of my arms and touched my face. “You’re pretty, Aria. Neon is going to keep you locked here forever, he’s cold, dark, and a violent person. Is that the kind of man you want to spend the rest of your life with?”“Why do you want me to leave Neon?”“I’m looking out for you.” She snapped.“I thought that’s what you want, you want to leave here don’t you?”“You think Neon is going to let me go?” I huffed, she knew that I wouldn’t be able to escape this place. Neon told me that he was the one i
Diana’s perspectiveI was pacing at the lounge in the pack house, I wanted to have a word with Mr. Montana. I wanted to know how the meeting went, Silas wouldn’t say a word about the meeting, he wouldn’t even talk to me.“That asshole,” I mumbled and folded my hands crossed my chest.I haven’t seen Neon since he came back from the meeting, I would have asked him. The Chief Elder is the only one I could ask about the meeting they had with Neon.“There you are.” I heard a voice clearing his throat behind me.I spun around and dropped my hands to my side, a sigh of relief washed over my face as I saw Mr. Montana standing there with his hands on his back.“Did I keep you waiting Luna?”I forced a smile on my lips. “No.”“Have a seat.” I gestured towards the few chairs on the lounge, he nodded and took his seat gently on the chair.I sat on the chair close to him.“Did you have a word with the Alpha? I am a bit surprised that you wanted a meeting with me.”I haven’t seen Neon since he got b
Aria’s perspective“We have somewhere to be today,” Neon’s warm breath fluttered the strands of hair on my forehead when he spoke.I was still on the bed but he was already dressed, I didn’t know when he left the bed.Hold on.He said we.“Where are we going?” I asked, looking up at him through my lashes.“To see someone special to me.” He smiled at me, my cheeks were probably a bright shade of red now.“And before I forget...” He stood up from the bed and walked up to his desk, opened the drawers, and brought out an envelope. He opened it, and strolled over to the bed, taking the spot next to me.“I paid off your debts, I met the lady at your house, and we settled it off. I brought this to show you that it has been paid. I’m bringing you stuff to the mansion, and you remember our deal. You are staying with me.” He chuckled, his thin lips quirked up into a handsome smile, and his eyes were staring into me with utter adoration, and I couldn’t help but feel flattered.I broke the eye con
Aria’s perspective“Here, I brought you some cookies.” Neon’s grandma, Lucy said. She dropped the plate of cookies in front of me and sat next to me.Neon left me with her in the living room. He said he had to check something around the house.I know he was trying to keep me safe.“Neon, told me you are human. He called me when he found you, and he won’t stop talking about you. I have never seen him this happy ever since...” She paused and then she held my gaze. “Is mother left.”“He told me she left him.”“He did.” Her face held a surprise look, she took my hands to her fragile ones, her lips spread out in a sweet smile.“Neon is going to keep you safe, and we would think of something, Aria. I promise you that you’ll stay as Neon’s mate.” Her fingers caress my cheeks.“Diana is going to help you with the basics and what you should know since you are living with werewolves, she’s a good child.” She muttered and let go of my hand, I took a bite of the cookie and it tasted so delicious.
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
