Daniel When Aria left I went to Lea, ignoring my mum who stood in the corridor, arms crossed and waiting for an explanation. “What the hell is wrong with you, Lea? Why did you kiss me like that? Didn’t I tell you that I am getting married to Aria and whatever we had is over? Are you trying to get me into trouble?” I growled angrily and Lea started trembling. “Daniel, I…” “You what, Lea? You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You must have seen Aria coming and you kissed me, trying to piss her off. Is this how you repay my kindness, Lea? I tried hard to convince my father to keep you here until I found you another place to live. What if my mum tells him what you did? What will you do then?” I didn’t care if I was shouting or how Lea would take my words. Despite her little act, I could tell that Aria was furious with me. She bit my lip with such force that she drew blood. And she would definitely give me a hard time because I was the one who forbade her to be intimate with Darius
Aria I took the stairs carefully and went to the living room. As soon as I walked in, my mother’s eyes filled with tears. “You are so beautiful, Aria. You remind me of myself when I married Jason. She turned to my dad and he smiled at her dotingly. “I thought I would never see anyone wearing my dress again,” she whispered emotionally, trying to hide her tears behind a wide smile. My father hugged her and gave me a look of appreciation, his eyes penetrating my soul. I lowered my head. “For an Omega, your looks are misleading, Aria. I could swear that you are a much higher-ranked female. The aura surrounding you is one of a powerful werewolf,” my father commented and I lowered my head again, avoiding his eyes. We walked all the way to the pack house and the afternoon breeze caressed my face as Alicia’s voice whispered in my ear. “You are so beautiful, my friend. I knew you would make a lovely bride from the day you tried this dress in that shop. Enjoy your day, Aria. We
Aria Daniel was tongue-tied. He instinctively placed his arms around my waist, bringing me closer to him. I thought he would be upset after I ordered Lea’s imprisonment but his expression showed nothing of the kind. “How did you do that? How is it possible that you have such a powerful wolf Aria?” he mind-linked me and I shrugged. “I guess my wolf grows stronger as I do, Daniel. What can I say? Are you mad at me for sending Lea to prison?” I asked. “You did well, Aria. We could not afford for Lea to make trouble tonight. She doesn’t listen to a word I say. Being locked up there is for her own good. I feared that my father would attack her if she stayed here any longer. All these men you see are Alphas who will want an alliance with me after I become the Alpha. My father would never forgive me if Lea ruined this night for us. I don’t know how she escaped my father’s guards,” he admitted. I gave him a peck on the cheek, surprising him. “Play along, dear. We can’t disappoint
Daniel I tried opening the bloody door, cursing my luck when Aria called me. “Daniel, I am hot,” she said and I turned to face her. My jaw dropped at the sight of her. She stood in lacey panties and white stilettos. Aria seemed unaware of her condition as she stood in the middle of the room, her face all flushed and her eyes glittering dangerously, looking pitiful. She seemed lost and helpless as she reached for me. Fu.ck! I was in deep trouble. Aria was a walking temptation without her heat. Now she was like a tornado ready to swallow me. “Daniel?’ she whispered, walking to me. I stood rooted, unable to decide what to do. Aria was right in front of me, her hands on my jacket, taking it off. She tried to unbutton the rest of my shirt but her hands trembled and with an angry growl she shredded my shirt to pieces. Smiling, she placed her hands on my naked chest, and then her lips followed, trailing wet kisses on my body. Her face glowed with lust and her body glistened wi
Aria I stirred in my sleep, two muscular arms holding me tightly and my naked back up against a rock-hard chest. Where the hell was I? Daniel’s scent invaded my nostrils and I opened my eyes. He was sleeping peacefully, his jaw resting on my shoulder. His hot breath tickled my skin and sent shivers down my spine. I tried to free myself, but Daniel moved closer, pulling me to him, his huge palm resting on my lower abdomen. I lay there totally confused, trying to remember what had happened. Images of me unbuttoning Daniel’s shirt as we danced and Daniel’s naked body on top of mine flashed in my mind. The heat! I was in heat last night and Daniel made love to me. “Sh.it, Alicia. So that was the surprise you told me about,” I told my friend, embarrassed at how my mate and I ended up making love. “You should thank me for giving you such a gift, Aria. Plus, I made you a virgin again to make your experience unforgettable,” Alicia giggled. “You did what? Alicia, you went overbo
Daniel I went to the bathroom to avoid Aria. I had nearly made love to her without her consent, which made me feel like a rogue. She responded afterwards, but I almost lost control. I couldn’t believe the level of anger and jealousy. She provoked me by saying that it would have been someone else if not me when she was in heat. Without a second thought, I pinned her to the wall and made her mine to place my mark on her so those who had their eyes on her the previous night would forget their filthy thoughts. I knew I could not mark her without her consent so I sucked her soft skin, leaving a hickey there. While I cleaned her, I admired my masterpiece. Yes, that would do for now. “Being an ass is not you, Daniel. You could admit your feelings for the poor girl and end the conflict there. You continue to create misunderstandings between you and Aria, which won’t do us any good. You might end up losing her if you continue acting stupid,” Cole reprimanded me and I knew that my wol
Daniel I left the dining room feeling guilty for leaving Lea in the dungeon for so long. All I wanted was for her to leave us alone on our wedding night and not cause any trouble. I planned on releasing her after the wedding reception. With Aria’s heat and what followed, I had forgotten entirely about Lea. “Daniel!” Aria’s voice stopped me. I turned around and Aria was standing facing me, her hands fisted, her face contorted with anger. “How dare you leave me alone at the table like that? Do you think they are all idiots and don’t realise where you are heading?” she growled through our mind-link. I stood still, realising my mistake. “I can’t allow Lea to stay in prison any longer,” I justified my behaviour and Aria stepped forward with a murderous look. “You will go back to the dining room with me right now! I will not allow you to make a fool of me in front of the pack members and your family. Once we’ve finished breakfast, we will go to the dungeon together and see L
Aria Daniel was stunned by my aggressive tone and seemed to realise what he had just done in front of Lea. In the meantime, that bitch had a sinister smile on her face, mocking me at the way Daniel had pushed me away. “I was only trying to…” he started to reply through the mind-link but I pinched him hard and he flinched. “Fix it now, or all hell will break loose,” I warned him, knowing my eyes had turned darker. I didn’t care if he saw my true eye colour. I’d had enough of that bullshit. It was about time I took matters into my own hands and I didn’t care less if Daniel stayed with me after that. I had totally forgotten about my agreement with Alicia. “Aria, don’t lose it, sweetie. Not now. We should leave and then tell him. Let’s see how he will fix this first.” Tania was also mad at Daniel but she was way more rational than me. I watched Daniel’s surprise and was sure he got a glimpse of my true eye colour. I stared angrily, my fingers still pinching his side. Pulling
