2024-10-29 19:42:56I couldn't but worry that Aiden was by my side, his gaze passing briefly over the Alpha before settling back on me, brows arching in question. For a moment, I felt small, wanting to do nothing but turn on my feet and run away. Why was Zain doing here? I thought to myself, lips twisting. The last time we saw each other, Zain broke up with me, for he had found his mate, and the entire thing messed me.
Above me, the sky was clear and blue, speckled with a bright sun that shone down on us. I could feel its warmth, and inside my chest rose with the desire to burrow into the earth I was standing on to get away from it. The closest thing I did was shift to Aiden’s side, my legs feeling shaky in an attempt to appear nonchalant.
My Alpha next to me cleared his throat. "Alpha Zain," He breathed, grasping Zain's attention on him while flashing a tentative smile. "Fancy seeing y

At the shrill sound, Aiden went still next to me; his jaw clenched tight. The Alpha was not used to this, of course, since everyone in the Pack spoke to him with a soft fearful voice. My stepmother, however, appeared raging mad, coming to stand in front of me, her eyes digging into my skin.Looking over her shoulder, I stared at my father, who emerged seconds later, his feet faltering as soon as he met my eyes. He cast his head down, his shoulders sagging with an audible sigh. Judging from the tension in the room, it was pretty clear that he might have told her about our talk."You have some nerve denying my request after all the things I have done for you all these years...How can you so easily forget them now that you got yourself a rich Alpha? Someone you stole from your sister! You should be ashamed of your

/Aiden’s POV/Zain was calling out my mates name. I could see his figure from the rear view mirror as he kept waving like a fool. So having no choice, I quickly grabbed onto her wrist and managed to distract her. What could he possibly wants to talk with her anyway? Even during our brief meeting, the Alpha appeared seconds away from getting down on his knees and confessing his undying love for her. Zain was her past and should stay her instead of trying to come in between us.But the way I handled things was borderline stupid, I realised as soon as we sat on the train.Something ugly seared in my stomach as I thought of how the other Alpha looked at Rose. With fondness and longing, which made me want to gauge his eyes out. He had

I dragged my body out of bed, and the room was so warm I didn't even shiver while walking out. Then my eyes flickered to the fireplace only to see that Aiden had made it for me. A smile curved around my lips, eyes alight as I stared at the tea tray.He did all those things for me, and the knowledge spread warmth in my chest, settling in my belly. Suddenly I was reminded of the harsh words that come after his actions, my toes curling.No. I cannot let him fool me with these sweet gestures anymore. Maybe the Alpha was doing it out of pity after the things he witnessed in my old packhouse. That might be it. Straining my ears, I tried to listen to Aiden, who left the room a few minutes ago. Who could it be at the door?My curiosity got the best of me, and I rushed out in search of

/Aiden’s POV/As we walked away from the main path and towards the garden bench, the afternoon rays hit Damon’s face. The Alpha raised his hand in the air, shielding from the bright glare from the sun. It also accentuated the lines of worry on his forehead and his mouth as he finally turned around. When I saw the Alphas at the doorstep, my face paled, more shocked at finding Zain along with Damon. Why was he here? What could he possibly want now?Before I could ask any of those questions or ward them away, Rose entered the living room. There went my silly plan.“Aiden?” My friend's voice yanked me out of my thoughts, almost making me squint as he sank the bench.“Y

"Because I realised I still have feelings for you, Rose."I stopped breathing for a few seconds, eyes widening slightly in his direction. What was he saying? Swallowing the lump formed in my throat, I swiped my tongue over my chapped bottom lip, wincing.“W-What are you saying, Zain?”He took a step further, the familiar scent making my nose flare. From up close, I could see the purple hue under his eyes, cheekbones sunken, lines marring his face and a dull look overall. Like he had been having little to no sleep these days.“I was a fool to let you go…Please forgive me, Rose.”

/Aiden's POV/My breath stuttered as I watched Rose from the corner of my eyes, taking a bite, my lips pressed in a thin line when I saw her audibly gulp. The omega was gripping tightly onto the edge of her chair, knuckles turning white and legs bouncing against in the spot. I instantly realised that she had been lying—about not being affected by her allergy anymore.As someone with the worst experience with my allergies, I did not want her to go through the same pain. Why was she putting her life a risk to prove a point? I thought only to see Zain's eyes trained on her. That pretty much explained to me."I think I will have your share too! It is the best thing ever." I abruptly said, taking the plate away fr

Once I managed to slip past the packhouse, my feet carried me to that lone bench in the garden. Slumping down, I let a sigh escape my chest, eyes raking around. The park was full of flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colours, so many of them, but I could not name a single one. It smelled sweet here, almost overwhelming but also clean and fresh. For a second, I could only imagine what this place must be like in the warmer months when all flowers come into bloom.My stomach twisted, a painful reminder that I had thrown up a while ago. It was silly of me to intake that one bite of salad, my fingers almost swelling. But Zain needed to be reminded that nothing was ever going to happen between us.I could see out of the corner of my eye a familiar figure approaching me. The Alpha looked at me expectantly, his feet clinking against the pavement before coming to a hal

/Ria's POV/Pack Alpha Damon is my mate. That's the only thing ringing around my ears, throat going dry. My body lurched as his growl reverberated through the walls, my beta recognising its call, almost making me want to submit.He was a handsome man, with his eyes glinting under the light, hair long and silky, parted in the middle. The black shirt he wore stretched over his muscular arms and taut stomach, the stylish boots and jeans matching well. The Alpha's nose was pointed, his cheekbones sharp, jaw clean-cut and lips pink and round.There was no doubt in my mind that he could easily pass off as a catalogue model.Shaking my hea

As the winter bled into spring, the sky grew more explicit and the clouds turned bright, unlike the gloomy days we had so far. I was nostalgic seeing the snow gone, but spring was a time of rebirth, a new beginning that I eagerly welcomed.Striding down the aisle, I twisted my head, staring at the faces that gazed at me and smiled. There were Alphas, betas, and omegas everywhere, and every single one of them sported an expression of joy and pride. Never in my life did I expect that this day would come, but it's happening.In the very front row, I spotted my father, my chest tightening painfully. My stepmother passed away a year ago, finally succumbing to her illness. Cara, along with her husband, had visited her in the last few days, but she humiliated both of them, not wanting to see their faces. I received the same treatment in the past, but still, it sadde

/Aiden's POV/Everything hurts. That's the first thought that dawned on me as I slowly drifted into consciousness. My hands twitched helplessly, and even though I could flutter my eyelids, they felt too heavy to open my eyes.My chest felt strange, uncomfortable sensations filling it up and throbbing in my ears, alongside horrid sounds that made it impossible to concentrate.I tried to open my eyes, just a little, and it's bright, blindingly so. It had been peaceful and dark seconds away, then an intense pressure in my chest made me hit the ground.I realised I was on a bed, covered by a thick duvet, sunlight spilling through the open windows at the opposite side of the room, so bright that it

/Rose POV/As soon as the dull thud echoed around the woods, it sent a searing pain through my skull. I was unable to move, taking a few more seconds to process that Aiden was on the floor, unconscious.With my sight going fuzzy around the edges and limbs twitching and shaking uncontrollably, I tried to work my muscles. Once that was under control, I put my body weight onto the palms, which burned and felt numb at the same time.Standing up, my chest lurched, and soon after, my stomach jumped violently. A fit of loud coughs escaped my lips, throat constricting, instinctively curling in."A-Aiden..." The sting was sitting deep inside as I finally scrambled forward, heart hammering

/Aiden's POV/My world stopped at that moment, mouth dropping open in shock, breath knocked out of my throat. I could feel the heat of my skin, feet automatically staggering back in the process. The people in front, the trees surrounding us, everything went blurry, a rush of memories surging through me, and suddenly I remembered.That strange encounter in the forest, his mark on my body and a promise to find me soon, those dreams with blurred faces and deep voices. It all made sense now."I-Its you..." My throat was burning, words jagged and breathy, tears were in my eyes. "Ronald," I uttered the name with so much venom that it made him chuckle. At the familiar sound, my hackles rose, goosebumps pricking.

/Aiden's POV/I had no idea what was it that woke me up. Suddenly, I was sitting up in bed, the sheets sliding off my chest along with my mate's arm and every last bit of fatigue that had been clinging to my body. It's still dark, no light shining in from outside and no ray of sun pouring inside.Instead, the window was still wide open, puddles of water covering the ground right in front of it.I slipped from beneath the duvet and got to my feet, mind-wiped blank and steps steady but languid as I made my way towards the window. When I looked ahead, far away in the distance, a hint of light on the horizon stared back at me, a line in the darkened sky.For a moment, I soaked the silence around me, the chilly a

/Aiden POV/I didn't know where I went wrong in my life. No. I was aware but did not want to acknowledge it for the sake of my mind. However, the problem is that I cannot change anything now. Staring into Slyvies desperate eyes only made me realise how much of a fool I have been.Rose was right all along. I sent her away in hopes that my guilt towards Sylvie would ease. When in reality, she's a pawn from Reece side, thrust into my life for my failure. Even though she had no choice but to surrender to fate, I couldn't help the resentment gnawing in my chest.I would never be able to trust her on anything again. As harsh as it may sound, I did not want to be fooled by her again.

A frown settled on her face, the hold of her hand loosening around my wrist. "Why? Do you not like chicken curry?"I let out a chuckle at her child-like pout, running my thumb across the plump of her cheek. "No, it's not that, baby. I love anything you make except for that pasta.”A squeal escaped her lips and she slapped lightly at my arm as if recalling the incident. Even though I almost died, it’s fun to tease her that the first dish she made gave me an allergy. The omega gets truly flustered every single time.“Don’t remind me of that ever again.”“Alright.” I fondly rolled my eyes.“Tell me why don’t you want

/Aiden's POV/Damon insisted on calling his mate to inform her that we were leaving for the clinic. I asked him to tell Rose about my location, not wanting to worry her. Along with my beta, we both stepped inside the room, finding Slyvie on the bed.The doctor bowed as soon as he saw, greeting politely. I waved at him, my eyes flickering towards the frail body of the omega. My heart clenched at sight, guilt swarming in my belly as I recalled the way I behaved with her in our past meetings. I should have given her another chance to explain instead of letting it go."H-How is she now?" I croaked, turning to the doctor, my hands falling by my side.

/Aiden's POV/To distract myself after the near depressing talk with my father, I decided to visit the training ground. I silently leaned against a tall pole while observing the guards shoot with a bow. Their targets were dead birds carcasses strapped up in a low hanging stand, and the goal was to hit either three or four within a few minutes.Crossing my arms together, I watched as one of the guards shot an arrow—with the wrong technique, of course, it missed and flew feet away from striking any bird. I could sense the tension in the air that vibrated in waves from the guard from being observed. With the war looming over us, we had no choice but train.I felt sick to my stomach as I watched him completely mess up the whole process.&nb
