Daniel“Dad, why don’t you try to get to know Lea? Why are you so hostile towards her? I told you I love her but you don’t seem to care. Please don’t give her such a hard time. Asking me to be Aria’s guard twenty-four-seven, do you think that’s appropriate? What will the other pack members think of me, their future Alpha? She is not even my mate for heaven’s sake,” I exploded.“You must do as you’re told, Daniel. I don’t care what others will think. I think I made it clear that Aria is our family’s benefactor. I won’t take a no for an answer, son. And if anyone has a problem with that, they can come to me to complain,” my father growled.“As for your girlfriend, she’d better get used to you being around Aria for as long as I think is necessary,” he continued and walked out onto the balcony, leaving me alone in the middle of the room.I left my father’s room and headed to Andy’s room. I needed to speak with Aria and put her in her place. I would follow my father’s orders but she would h
AriaI left Daniel’s room, not looking back and holding my head high. I would never let him know how much he hurt me holding Lea in his arms like that and giving me looks of hatred and loathing.He was in our room with another woman and I had to bear it. Because of him, I accepted Alicia’s terms and allowed her to tease and torture me as she wished to help me be with him again. And my ass.hole mate was with another woman sleeping in my bed, our bed.“Aria, how could you say those things to Lea? You said you are not interested in Daniel and compared him to fish! That was cruel,” Tania who barely held her laughter while I was talking to Lea was now laughing her head off.“Reverse psychology, Tania. Daniel has been treating me like shit, thinking I have a crush on him. I am so fed up with him and his arrogant attitude. Let’s see how he reacts after today. I will ignore him from now on and show him what it feels like to be jealous of someone you like. Let’s see how calm he can stay after I
AriaMy heart throbbed in my chest like never before. I feared Daniel would hear it and realise my true feelings for him. I had fought so hard in his room to prove that I was not interested in him. And now he had me pinned to the wall using his body, sending waves of pleasure all over my body. But I meant nothing to him. Daniel was so close, yet so far from me. I knew I had to stay strong and persistent to achieve my goal and I had just taken the first step towards my success. Daniel was jealous when I mentioned Darius.“Don’t even think about it. I won’t fight with my father over you again, mutt. I want nothing to do with you but will become your shadow for as long as my father wants me to. You will not ask Darius or anyone else for protection. No one should know what my father ordered me to do. No one except you, Lea and me,” Daniel hissed, releasing me just like he pinned me. Unexpectedly. Anger rose inside me again, making me lose control. I had had enough of his abnormal behaviou
DanielAria left my father’s office and I stood rooted to the floor, wondering from where she got the guts to ignore me and walk away. And the strangest thing was that I could do nothing about it. Was it because she was my father’s favourite, or was it something else, something incomprehensible to me?She wasn’t afraid to confront me and tell me off. How could a simple Omega, sorry Warrior, be so insolent to her future Alpha? Wasn’t she afraid I would punish her when I took my father’s position?“Apparently she is not,” Cole interrupted my thoughts.“And she said she would go where she felt wanted, which means where Darius is,” Cole clarified.“Shit!” I growled and left my father’s office.“Where are you going, Daniel? Aren’t you the one who said you want nothing to do with her? Why go after her then? What’s bothering you so much?” My wolf was being aggressive with me.“Cole, why are you defending that woman so much? I have been with Lea for so long and you never defended her to me,” I
Daniel“Alpha Daniel, are you jealous?” Her hoarse voice sent shivers down my spine as her hot breath caressed my skin. I looked down as she watched me with those blue eyes, still biting her lower lip.She didn’t seem scared at all. She was rather enjoying it and I flipped at the woman’s audacity. I was ready to tell her off when Cole took over, forcing me to do things I would never have done alone.I put a hand behind her neck and smashed my mouth over hers, kissing her and seeking dominance. Aria opened her mouth obediently and I almost groaned with satisfaction. It was the first time she submitted herself to me. I allowed my tongue to dance with hers and enjoyed her body trembling against mine. Aria placed her arms around my neck, hugging me and pulling me closer.Shit! That felt good, almost natural as if our bodies were destined to collide as if her kisses only belonged to me. My hand roamed under her top tank and stroked her bare skin, my fingers tracing her smoothness.My phone
AriaDaniel was aroused. I could feel it penetrating my skin to the last cell of my body. Unable to move, I looked up, locking my eyes with his.“Why? Am I wrong? If you are not attracted to me, how do you explain what’s poking my abdomen right now, Daniel?”“It’s Alpha Daniel to you, mutt. How dare you use my name? Who gave you the right?”“Is that your problem, Alpha Daniel? About how I address you or that you cannot control your urges whenever you get close to me? You must look it up,” I challenged him, angry at his refusal to answer my question and admit what he felt for me.Daniel growled and I pounced on him, my lips pressing against his to make him realise what I meant. He stubbornly refused to grant me permission into his mouth and I bit his lip forcing my tongue inside his mouth. I was furious and, at least once, I wanted him to admit how he felt.I felt his resistance disappear and he finally released my hands and kissed me back, taking my breath away. I pulled back, touching
Alpha Jackson TaylorI watched my son’s interaction with Aria with great interest. I never told him to look after her like that. My primary concern was Aria’s safety while practising with the other warriors.Daniel misinterpreted my instructions and went overboard with his protection, or that was what he wanted to make me believe. There was something strange about his behaviour towards that poor girl.Aria didn’t seem to be afraid of my son. She confronted him, asking me to release him from his guardian duties. It surprised me that Daniel was so annoyed by my consent to Aria’s request. Wasn’t he the one who protested when I first asked him to look after her? When he left the room, I couldn’t hold back my laughter. He seemed pissed off.“Jason, am I the only one who thinks something is up with these two?” I turned to my Beta who seemed lost in thought.Jason turned to me and smiled.“They are young, Jackson. The attraction between them is clear. They are not mates; that is obvious. But
The Opal Moon pack,AriaElla helped me to the sofa and brought me some warm water to ease my pain. I couldn’t tell her what caused it and lied about having breakfast that morning.“Aria, are you sure you don’t want me to call the doctor?” Ella requested and I refused.“There’s no need, Ella. I already feel better, and the pain is gone. I will ask Valeria to make me a nutritious soup today,” I replied.“Valeria? You live with me now, remember? Valeria is at her house, and I am not a cooking person,” Ella reminded me.“I know, Ella. I promised Valeria I would visit later today and spend some time with her. I will ask her to make the soup and give me the recipe,” I replied.I needed some time alone. I had to help Tania feel better. My wolf was also in pain after Daniel’s betrayal.“Which betrayal? He doesn’t even know that we are mates, Aria. Don’t blame him. Blame Alicia,” Despite her pain, Tania defended Daniel and upset me.“Don’t be upset, Aria. It’s the truth. Unless we find how to
