Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 47 - Recognition
Aria“What are you doing here?” Daniel roared when he saw me enter. Alpha Jackson, who stood beside him, kept silent, watching my interaction with Daniel.“I heard about what happened and wanted to see it for myself. Have you got any idea what led the prisoners to this?” I asked indifferently, skipping the formalities and kneeling beside the dead bodies.I didn’t get a reply and I looked up. Daniel had his back to the cell railings. His eyes were on me, and he had crossed his arms in front of his chest.“Fine!” I thought angrily, “Have it your way,” and turned my attention to the dead, looking for clues that could lead us to the truth.“Their eyes are dilated, and their mouths seem dry, too dry for my liking. When did this happen?” I asked and my father who had just arrived replied.“About an hour ago. Why?”“Well, their temperatures are very high, a sign that they must have taken a drug or something. All the symptoms lead to one thing,” I said, touching the dead man’s hand and feeling

Beta JasonI looked at Aria suspiciously, waiting for her reply.“Beta Jason, you are a good person and I hate lying to you. Haven’t you noticed how Alpha Daniel treats me? He is prejudiced against me and if you tell him my suspicions I am certain he will think I want to slander his girlfriend. We need to make sure our assumptions are correct and have solid evidence before telling him anything,” she blurted out, keeping a straight face.I kept silent, pondering her words. Aria was right. Daniel was aggressive towards her and most of the time doubted Aria’s good intentions. We needed to investigate first, ensure Lea drugged those men, and then tell Daniel. I would do a background check on Erick Williams and see if he was related to Lea somehow. “Okay, Aria, let’s do it your way. But I will tell Alpha Jackson. He must know,” I replied.“Will he keep it from Daniel? If you explain why we want to keep it from him, will he agree to keep it from Daniel until we are sure she is the culprit?

DanielI left my room before Lea woke up and headed to my father’s office. I wanted to ease my doubts by looking for evidence that could lead to another culprit, not Lea, as I suspected. Guilt overwhelmed me, thinking I might have wronged my girlfriend by doubting her innocence.I put my thoughts on paper and tried to figure out what had happened and if I had missed something important. Maybe they had those drugs on them and they used them out of despair.Yes, that could be a plausible scenario. And it would solve many problems. I buried myself in papers and wrote down every detail from when I met the prisoners at the mall, fighting with Aria.That was how my father, Aria and Beta Jason found me when they entered the office. They seemed surprised to see me there.‘Good morning, son. We didn’t see you and Lea at breakfast today. I thought you were still sleeping,” my father said.Shit! I forgot that Lea never went to breakfast without me. She must have been waiting for me in my room.“

Aria“I knew it. I knew she was connected to Erick when I saw them at dinner,” I whispered my thoughts and Daniel’s father approached me.“What do you mean, Aria?”“She seemed anxious and was giving him funny looks. Did she tell you or Daniel that Erick was her uncle?” I questioned.“No, she didn’t. She pretended not to know him,” Daniel’s father and my dad said in unison.“Why would she hide her relationship with him if not for the reasons we mentioned? What if Erick is behind the attacks and Lea is his informant, Alpha Jackson?” I looked at him.“Please forgive me for asking you these questions, Alpha. Since you asked me to be part of the investigation, I thought it best to clarify everything to understand why someone would do such a thing,” I explained.“We need to investigate further. Maybe I should tell Daniel about Lea and Erick’s relationship,” Alpha Jackson replied.“I think you shouldn’t, Alpha Jackson. If you tell him, he will confront Lea, and she will tell Erick. And if Eri

Daniel“You have to be kidding me, dad! You want me to marry Aria because of some insignificant incidents between us? This is pure madness!” I protested, flinging my hands in the air.“You call the way you treated the poor girl insignificant, Daniel? How dare you? You are the next Alpha, son; all you have done so far is show our people how to mistreat others. And that’s Aria. You will marry her to compensate for your behaviour and protect her from the gossip of the pack members,” my father snarled, leaving me speechless.“Alpha Jackson, that won’t be necessary,” Aria whispered, lowering her head. “You see! Aria doesn’t think I should marry her, dad. I will publicly apologise to her and we can consider the whole matter a misunderstanding,” I proposed, hoping my father would accept my idea.“My decision will not change, Daniel. You will marry Aria and you will do it before you graduate. I want her to escort you to your graduation ceremony. That will shut everyone’s mouths,” my father in

AriaI followed Alpha Jackson into his office. I should be happy with the way things turned out, but a heavy burden made my stomach ache and a knot in my throat threatened to leave me breathless.“Aria, why are you like this? It’s what you wanted, isn’t it? I mean, to become Daniel’s Luna. And now that his father has given you what you wanted, you seem troubled and unwilling to marry Daniel,” Tania commented.“It’s not how I wanted things to happen, Tania. I wanted Daniel to fall for me, not marry me because his father blackmailed him. That would only make things worse between us,” I confessed my worries to my wolf.“Aria, I want to apologise for my manners back there, but what I told Daniel is valid. I will not have him humiliate you like that. Marrying you will be a good way for him to redeem himself for his lousy behaviour,” Daniel’s father announced.“Alpha Jackson, don’t you think forcing your son to marry me will make Alpha Daniel hate me more? I am grateful for your support, but

Lea I threw myself into Daniel’s arms but he remained rooted to the spot, not responding to me. Something seemed off and I stepped back, waiting for him to talk. Daniel was silent and avoided looking me in the eye. Had he found out what I’d done? Was he there to accuse me of betraying his trust and punish me? I didn’t dare ask what was on his mind. Cold sweat ran down my spine, soaking my t-shirt and making me uncomfortable as I anxiously waited for Daniel to speak. “Lea, we need to talk.” Daniel sounded upset. I breathed deeply, realising that I was wrong. Daniel was still unaware of my involvement in the death of those prisoners. “What is it, baby?” I asked, feeling the tension leave my body. I sat on the bed, curious to hear what he had to say. “Lea I am afraid we can no longer be together. We need to break up,” Daniel paced up and down, still averting his eyes. “Is this a joke, Daniel?” I narrowed my eyes waiting for the punchline. “I am afraid not, Lea. My fath

Daniel I followed Aria and realised she was heading to the forest. What she’d said really got to me for some reason, and I needed an explanation from her. Did she have anyone else in mind? Was she in love with somebody else? “Why is it bothering you, Daniel? You said you have no feelings for Aria. And the wedding your father is forcing you into is like a punishment to you. So what if she is interested in someone else?” Cole mocked me. “Not now, Cole. You chose the wrong time to bicker with me. I need to clear things up with Aria. I won’t tolerate anything that will insult me during our marriage. She has a lot of explaining to do.” I told my wolf and put my walls up. I took my time as I didn’t want Aria to know I was following her. I was curious to see where she was heading to let some steam off. It surprised me when Lea pulled Aria behind some bushes. Why on earth was she there? I had clearly instructed her to stay in her room and avoid antagonising my father any further. She

Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 95 Epilogue
Daniel I opened my eyes and watched Aria sleep. Her hand was on her swollen bump and a smile brightened her sweet features. We were supposed to sleep in different rooms since we would have our mating ceremony today but I couldn’t bear to leave her side. I got out of bed, trying not to wake her, and walked over to the window. It was dawn and the rosy glow of sunrise made the landscape dreamlike while a light breeze rustled the leaves. I planned everything with the help of my and Aria’s mothers. I wanted to surprise my mate and make today special. I even invited Ella and Darius to help me. As Aria’s closest friends, they had a special place in our lives. Ella would be my Luna’s Beta after our mating ceremony. Darius had become the second in command after my Gamma. Since he had found his mate, he was no longer a threat to me. I turned to check on Aria and she was still asleep. I left the room quietly, mind-linking our parents, Ella and Darius to meet me in my office. “Is ev
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 94 A Caring Mate
Aria I followed Daniel back into the house and upstairs to our room, still thinking about how he killed Lea to save me from nausea. He gripped my hand all the way into the packhouse and when we approached the stairs, he held me by the waist, helping me up the steps. Not even once did he mention Lea and his part in her death. His main concern was helping me into the house, ensuring I was comfortable enough to walk the long distance. Had my mate changed so much? “What more do you need as proof, Aria? He just killed his ex-girlfriend so you wouldn’t feel unwell. Cole and Daniel are ours to keep, sweetie. Please let’s leave the bad memories behind and start over, shall we?” Tania’s calm voice interrupted my thoughts and I nodded in agreement. My wolf was right. Lea was history and so were all the bad memories from when I first met Daniel. We entered our room and Daniel helped me to the sofa. “Sweetie, stay here until I get the bathtub ready okay?” he said softly and entered t
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 93 Punishment
Lea I had lost count of the days. Daniel had chained me to the wall inside that dark cell, not bothering to check on me again. They fed me once a day. I was drained, filthy and exhausted, cursing Daniel for the ordeal he had put me through. He hadn’t allowed me to explain myself and justify my actions. He was too engrossed in finding that Aria bi.tch and had lost his mind. I hated that I had lost to Aria and Daniel. My stomach turned with anger and disgust. My uncle was not as strong as I’d thought. I’d staked my life on his plans; he was so sure he would succeed. His failure had cost me my freedom and could still cost me my life in the end. Once putty in my hands, Daniel had turned into my worst enemy. I thought through my actions, trying to pinpoint the mistakes that led me to be chained in a prison cell. The rest of me focused on finding a way to escape, if it was even possible. Daniel hadn’t returned since the day he imprisoned me. I wondered what he was up to. I could
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 92 Homecoming
Aria I packed my few belongings with Evelyn’s help, unable to believe how things had turned out for Daniel and me. I never expected him to confront Alicia demanding that she leave us in peace and then admit his true feelings in such a raw manner. I knew he was being honest, I read his thoughts. As the mother of all, I had the ability. The position had to have some benefits after all. “I am so happy for you, Aria. Being with your mate is the best thing that could happen to you at a time like this. Your pup needs his father by your side while growing inside you. And you need Daniel’s love and support. From what I heard, as the pregnancy proceeds you will get cranky and more dependent on your mate. Not that I am sure, though. I will never have the chance to feel that way,” Evelyn said, smiling bitterly only for a minute. Then her smile brightened and she patted my shoulder. “You have to promise to stay in touch, Aria. I think of you as my younger sister and I will always be there
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 91 Emotional Breakdown
Daniel I took Aria in my arms and rushed back to the house. Joshua and his mate were nearby and came running as soon as they saw me. “She fainted,” I explained breathlessly and Joshua led me upstairs to Aria’s room. I placed her on the bed and caressed her pale face. “The doctor is on his way,” Evelyn, Joshua’s Luna said, giving me a deadly glare. “What happened?” Joshua was calmer. “She asked me to accept her rejection and reject her back to prove my love to her. She fainted before I finished accepting her rejection,” I explained anxiously. “Are you stupid? Why would you do such a thing? Aria was simply testing you,” Evelyn reprimanded me. “She insisted it was the only way she would believe me. What else could I do?” I excused myself, holding Aria’s hand. “I can’t believe you are so stupid,” Evelyn argued and I tried hard not to growl at her. “What was I supposed to do? I was trying to convince her of my feelings,” I defended myself. “Joshua, you take care of
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 90 - Confessions
DanielMy mate paled as I took a few hesitant steps towards her. Then my eyes fell on her swollen belly. Her hands covered her bump protectively as she looked left and right for an avenue of escape. “She is pregnant. Our mate is pregnant with our pup. Our scent is all over Aria,” Cole voiced my inner thoughts, confirming my suspicion. Suddenly, my mind filled with images of a pregnant Aria who tried hard to hide from Erick’s wrath. A scared young female who had lost her entire family and her fiance at the hands of that lunatic. All the images she had shown us to convince played like a movie in my mind and I clutched my chest in agony, unable to breathe. There wasn’t enough air in my lungs; I was suffocating and started coughing, my eyes brimming with tears of regret. Once more, Aria was pregnant and alone because of my stupidity and sought refuge with the couple who raised our daughter as Beta Jason informed me.With a pained look in her eyes, Aria turned around to leave, gripping t
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 89 - An Unexpected Guest
DanielAfter the strange call from Alpha Ross, I left my office and went for a run. I was restless after his last comment. He sounded as if he was hiding something from me. I could tell by the tone of his voice that there was a secret meaning behind his invitation. Could it be that he knew something about Aria?“Keep dreaming, Daniel. Aria would never ask someone to call you on her behalf. She rejected you, remember?” Cole mocked, and I swallowed hard. My wolf was right. What was I thinking? Aria had left, determined to never show herself to me again. The thought hurt like hell but I knew I deserved worse after being such an ass.hole towards my mate. Still, I wanted to believe that there would be a day I would see Aria again and earn her forgiveness. I returned to the pack and was moody for the rest of the day. After taking over it was the first time, I yelled at my Beta and Gamma over unimportant pack matters.Alex and Dave had confused expressions, and when I stopped yelling, the
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 88 - Taking The Initiative
JoshuaAria was Daniel Taylor’s mate, and I wondered what kind of person the future Alpha was to mistreat his mate in such a manner.It bothered me that Aria wanted to hide from him. The Opal Moon pack was one of the most prominent packs in our area and Alpha Jackson was an excellent Alpha. How could his son be such a jerk?I felt sorry for the poor girl. She seemed so miserable and dejected that I couldn’t bear to reject her request for shelter. “Honey, we must help Aria. Let’s take her in and be her family for now. What will happen to her and her poor baby if she leaves our pack? She has nowhere to go since her mate has declared her a missing person.” My dearest mate was compassionate and considering that Aria was pregnant and alone, she wanted to do everything she could to help her out. Her pleading tone softened my heart even more and even though hiding Aria might bite me in the rear, I couldn’t deny my mate’s request.“Aria, you are welcome to stay with us for as long as you l
Luna Aria’s Revenge CHAPTER 87 - A Dejected Aria
Aria Evelyn and I had just returned from my morning walk to the lake. I sat under the kiosk in the garden, resting until Evelyn returned with our lemonades. Baby Alison was restless today. She kept kicking and turning in my womb as if trying to tell me something. I knew how much a pup needed its father’s voice to feel safe and calm. The deep connection between the foetus and the father was also essential to the pregnant female. After the first trimester and when the mother prepared to nest, waiting for the day she would hold her baby in her arms, she needed her mate close by to comfort her and put her at ease. Our creator designed us that way from ancient times, and nothing could change the way a pregnancy felt for a future mother. It had been three months since Alpha Joshua asked me about my true identity. I couldn’t hide that I was Daniel’s mate anymore. He had posted my photo in the Alpha forum asking if anyone had seen me or if I’d sought shelter in their packs. I tol
