BONUS CHAPTERKILLIAN POVAria took a quick sip of the orange juice I gave her then brought her attention back to me.She was dressed in a black bodycon overall which hugged her curves perfectly. I had a headset blocking my ear — I gave Aria one as well but she didn't wear it since she wasn't the one shooting.I closed one eye, my right hand holding my gun firmly and the other supporting it as I aimed.I aimed for the target then fired. The shot was probably very loud, I saw Aria cover her ears from my rearview, she probably regrets now why she did wearing a headset as well.She sighed then looked over to where I was aiming. The tin can was on the ground now with a hole in its body."Wow!" She exclaimed then started clapping for me. She stood up and walked over to me. The cool breeze going through her hair, and messing it up made her look like when we were done with our rounds in bed.I smiled sweetly at her as she strolled over. The sound of the trees were helpful for calming my hear
"Alpha James, you will be executed for your treason against this pack!" Alpha King Matthias announced and what seemed like a dagger pierced through my heart. "No!!" A scream escaped my mouth, tears streaming down my eyes. I rushed toward Matthias and crumbled to the ground beside him, my chest aching with anguish."Please spare my father," I begged. "He has been very loyal to you and has never betrayed you. Please, don't kill him. He's all I have."Matthias chuckled. "Your father is a traitor to this pack and I will punish him according to the laws of this pack." "Please–" I choked, grabbing his ankle in desperation. "You can't simply believe that my father tried to overthrow you. My father is a good man who has shown nothing but kindness to this pack." "Nonsense!" His eyes glimmered with fury as I looked up at him and a tremble crashed through me. Matthias and my father were childhood friends and my father had often shown me pictures of them together. I wondered why he didn't wan
Aria's POV"Go to the wine cellar immediately and fetch some red wine," The head maid’s eyes narrowed. "Don't break anything or I'll make sure you don't get breakfast. Do you understand that?" "Yes, ma'am." I quickly exited the kitchen, my ankles aching against the weight of the chains bound around them. I made my way to the cellar discreetly, avoiding the gazes of the guests in the palace. The usually quiet palace was bustling with guests swarming like a bee hive. The Alpha King was hosting a large banquet, and every member of the royal family was invited. As I walked past some of the guests, I couldn't stop my heart from shrinking with anguish. "Today is so amazing," I overheard one of the guests saying. Yes, the day was amazing because they had gathered to celebrate the death of my father. An innocent man who was killed because of Alpha Matthias' injustice. I sighed and pushed open the cellar door, my eyes scanning the room quickly. The cellar was packed with barrels of wine, s
Aria's POV"The Alpha King would like her to be cleaned up for Alpha Carrington." The guards pushed me to the maids. "She's a tough one so hold her with care." I shot the guards a dark look as they walked away. I was not a dog; I was perfectly capable of bathing and cleaning myself. I most certainly didn't need the help of these "women." Three sets of eyes slid toward me, curiosity and envy radiated from them as they fully noticed me. The first maid with blonde hair glared at me with anger, the second seemed indifferent but it was the pity in the eyes of the third that truly enraged me. I didn't need or want anyone's pity. "Let's go," the leader amongst the maids grabbed my hand roughly. "We don't have all day." They led me to Carrington's room and threw me into the bathtub. The women fluttered around me, scrubbing my body roughly as they talked quietly. They didn't say a word to me nor did I speak to them as well. They exchanged gossip, talked of the men they liked, and spoke of
"How long before we get to the palace?" Alpha Killian ran his fingers through his hair as he impatiently waited for his driver's response. "Five minutes, Alpha." The driver responded, steering them closer to the palace. "It should better be five." As Killian's convoy approached Matthias' palace, he felt bored and exhausted. He didn't want to attend the banquet but after years of declining Matthias' yearly invitation, he finally accepted to attend one. According to Matthias, it was important he attended the meeting as an allegiance against vampires would be discussed. And in his absence, no substantial decision could be made. He didn't think he would be interested in anything. He didn't think the banquet was worth his time. Not until he saw her. Not until he saw his mate.She was running like a fierce wolf, her hair carried back by the wind. Dressed in nothing but a maid's robe, and several guards chasing her, he could immediately tell she was fleeing from the palace. When they l
Aria's POVMy eyes fluttered, then opened as I sat up with a sharp intake of breath. I was still fully dressed but I was on an enormous bed, in a strange bedroom. I glanced around the dark floored, masculine room which was flooded with golden light from the window. They were amazing abstract paintings on the wall, two lattice windows, and the floor was covered with a luxurious thick carpet. I couldn't stop the questions racing in my mind. Where was I and who brought me here? Could it have been Killian himself? The thought of being carried in those strong arms, against his powerful chest as I slept made me tremble. I glanced across the room again and my eyes fell on him, sleeping calmly on a sofa. With a gulp, I jumped off from the bed like as if it had burned me. I snuck a glance at Killian as I paced slowly toward him.His good looks still hit me like a fierce blow as I watched him. He was even more handsome as he slept, much more handsome than I remembered. He had no shirt on a
ARIA.I brought my hands to my lips, screaming as I stared at him. What was going on? My brain couldn't grasp what was happening here. Was I trapped in some sort of nightmare, was this even real? I asked myself, the adrenaline coursing through my body as the fear descended on me, causing goosebumps to fill my skin.I was paralysed with fear, the kind of fear that would make the hair in your body stand up and tingle.I was about to get up, still groggy from what had just transpired between the fake Killian and I when he got up from the floor and grabbed me instantly.His clammy, cold hands descended on me, holding me in place as he pinned me to the ground. I tried to wriggle out of his grip but his hands were as inexorable as steel manacles."Let me go!" I yelled, kicking and flailing and yelling. "You sick fuck!" But my protests seemed to make him even happier. I continued to scream, and I was surprised because Alpha Killian stood there, watching the whole thing transpire. He didn't he
ARIA.After the incident at the garden, I felt so scared and desperate to escape the Packhouse. The prospect of being abused and used like a plaything, whenever and wherever they wanted sent chills down my spine and I knew I had to find a way to escape as soon as possible, or I would be doomed.But Alpha Killian seemed to have noticed my intent, and that was why escaping the Palace at this point was like wishing for the moon.Within my few days here at the Packhouse, I had been able to discover several routes that led out of the Packhouse, and this morning, I had tried escaping through every single route but there were guards stationed in each of them, and they all refused to let me pass."Please return to your chambers, Luna." They would normally demand sternly.It was clear they were under Alpha Killian's orders, and I couldn't go back to confront him about this new development for fear of being used yet again. Sitting in my room and staring vacantly into space, I listlessly resigned

Aria POV“Sure, that's enough time to let loose. If you're all okay with it then so am I.” Darius answered.I finished writing the letter with that confirmations and sent it to the school. I joined Killian in arranging things for the vacation.Since he'll be taking a sudden vacation, he needs to take care of important matters then clear his schedule for vacation.The preparations went smoothly and the next day came before I realized it. I woke up the kids and helped them get ready to the academy without telling them where we were really going to.Everything was ready and we got into the car and drive off.“Mommy, where are we going?” Darren asked curiously, he looked suspicious and knew we weren't going to school.“Where are you supposed to be now?” I asked him.“The academy!” Richard answered for him.“So why are asking that, Darren?” I directed at Darren again.“Because you're coming with us. And also Daddy Darius and Daddy Killian are coming as well. Why? Are we in trouble?” Darren
“Even if you did, we have no choice but to accept it and forgive you so what's the point in asking that?” I rolled my eyes at his comment and turned to Killian.“Surely you don't think that too.”He raised his hand in surrender, “Hey, I'm just a simple werewolf trying to enjoy his stack, can't I do that?”I rolled my eyes them rest back on the chair, “I hate the both of you.”They both chuckled, “No, you don't.”And they're fucking right, I do not. I love them. I love them more every day I wake up, every time I see our kids and everytime I go to sleep and envisioned them with my eyes closed. Every little gift or gestures they give towards me, the small and the big always wins me over every fucking time.I spent all night thinking about where we should spend our family vacation. I had a few in mind but I realized that we weren't the only ones going there.The kids will be there as well and I needed to cater the vacation to what they'll want and enjoy as well.I thought long and hard, t
Aria POV“I'm sorry.” My voice cracked so I cleared my throat, it was only slightly louder than the first one. Damn me.“What? What are you saying? Speak louder, I can't hear you.”I looked up and glared at him?He can't hear me? Even the weakest omega could hear a whisper much less him. He was messing with me and I obviously deserved it.“Babe, I'm sorry, I was crazy yesterday but you didn't do anything wrong.” I pulled myself together and begged.“Yeah I certainly didn't because I only just got there!” He added and I nodded.“I'm sorry honey, will you forgive me? Please? Please? Please….?” I pouted as I begged, making an adorable baby eye hoping it'll do the trick in melting his heart. “I was stupid and I promise not to ever do that again.”He chuckled slightly then looked out the window. I could tell he was wavering. I tugged at his arm and continued insisting. “Come on, Daddy.” I said teasingly and I shot me a look. I smiled mischievously and he rolled his eyes.“Do you think this
Aria POVAfter talking with Killian, I went to look for Darius. He was on site in a new playground construction for kids. It was already getting dark and he still has no plans of returning. I guess he was also really angry with me.I summoned up courage and went to the construction site. The was there, talking with some architects and engineers.The site was nearly done and it seemed it was going to be the biggest playground for kids ever made. It was beautiful with every toys and attraction for kids imaginable.He was the one that brought up the idea and it warms my heart to see him actively accomplishing it. He was a really Daddy, making decisions as a father.I remember how he kept on spoiling the kids, buying whatever they wanted. I believe it was because of how his parents treated him, he doesn't want the kids to feel that way ever so he's trying his best to be the exact opposite.While I appreciate that he's loving and caring for the kids, I had to make sure he limits himself.H
Aria POVThe scrunching sun set on my face, it was just morning yet the sun was hot. I could tell the day was going to be a bad one.Not long after I woke up, my newborn baby, baby Harry, woke up as well and began crying, his screams were so loud that I immediately got out of bed and rushed to his nursery not being able to stand the screaming.Just as I was getting into the nursery, nannies rushed in as well. “Good morning your grace” they greeted Aria with a bow then turned to attend to Harry.Just give him to me,” I commanded them and they did just so.Harry cried for a while in my hands before stopping while I brought out her breast for him to suck. I was very tired and exhausted even though I just woke up. I slowly sat down and tried to relax.The morning went on routinely, I sat down with the rest of our kids for breakfast but Killian or Darius joined us for breakfast. Wonder what's wrong?I was getting a bit worried about them and wondered if I was too harsh on them yesterday. I
“So… has everyone eaten?”"No mommy!" They chorused.Aria finished bathing baby Harry, she took her four kids to the dinning area where breakfast was served for everyone.She breastfeeds Harry again while helping the boys with their breakfast. The boys fought for her attention in helping them, calling her back and forth and during this chaos, Killian appeared."And what's going on here, children? Are you stressing out your mother again?" Killian asked teasingly as he strode over to where Aria was sitting."Oh thank the moon goddess you finally decided to come help me out." Aria said sarcastically, "Too bad we have to cut short your relaxation." Aria rolled her eyes then narrowed them at him."Hey, why are you getting mad at me? I came as soon as I woke up." Killian defended himself."Well thanks for waking early and helping out." Aria sounded even more sarcastic and angry. "It's been really helpful.""Okay, I'm sensing a lot of hostility from you, is everything alright? Did I do anyth
The voice of the baby wailing was the first thing Aria heard in the morning, it woke her up from bed and she groaned as she sat up, pulling aside the covers.She rubbed her eyes to get rid of the remaining sleepiness in her eyes and got out of bed. She rushed to the room the crying was coming from, it was just opposite her room.That room was a second toilet in her chambers but ever since her first son, it was converted into a nursery for her kids to be close to her.She had moved out of the room she stayed when she first came to the pack, her personal chambers was prepared for her after her mating ceremony with her mates.It took her a while to get used to the new style of living but she got a hang of things after a while. In her chambers was like another family which consisted of only women expect for the guards station at the doors.The chambers originally, had a nursery which was much bigger and spacious than the one in the toilet but it was located far from her room so she had her
They had gathered some wood and put it around Marcus lifeless form and soon a fire was formed and he was engulfed in flames.No one said anything, they observed his obituary in silence, Killian the most silent of them all.“He was the last one to get out the fire when the house was burning, he was so scared. Now he is turning to ashes, in the same fire that consumed his heart. I saved him then, but I couldn't save him now.”Killian turned to Darius after his statement, a sense of loneliness covering his eyes. His brother was short of words until Aria swayed, almost falling until she was caught.“Aria!” Darius held her tightly, her eyes were sealed shut and he began to fear the worst, “She needs to see a doctor.” With a swoop, she was in his arms and he was walking ahead. Kai put out the fire and turned to follow his brother, but he took one look at Marcus before running off to catch up with Darius. Right now his present was more important, and that was Aria.It had been days since sh
