Damon. Her lips against mine were soft, and I pulled her closer with my hand at the back of her head and when she leaned in, she gave me access to kiss her. I was gentle, I didn’t want to take a rush, and didn’t want to make her feel pressured but she asked me to make her feel that I needed her here, and I wanted her to feel through the kiss, just how much she torments me more than anything else. I wanted to disengage from kissing her but the more her lips tasted more desirable, and I was getting a bit more passionate and fierce and she opened her mouth, and kissed me back. A strangled sound came out from the back of my throat, and I knew I had to push her away from me. I broke off the kiss, but her forehead was still pressed against mine, then I let go of her. My hand dropped to my sides and I took a step back from her. I cleared my throat, “I will send the maid to bring you some food.” I didn’t want to hear what she had to say, so I turned away from her, and headed straight o
Soren. “…don’t give me those eyes, I’m not going to die.” “You are still trying to make a joke, don’t you know the kind of situation you are in.” Lucian stressed out, his hand was holding against the iron bars of the door which I was locked in. While Kade was leaning against it with his back at me. “You seem to be in a more serious situation than me, Lucian.” I shrugged and moved away from the iron bars. “But you gotta be serious here, Soren. Alpha Rowan almost killed you.” “But I’m alive, ain’t I Kade?”“You are and your life is still pending, you aren’t out of this place yet.” Kade replied softly. I shrugged, and went to sit at the corner of the dark place, Alpha Rowan had sent the guards to hit me, I was beaten in here, and then he came to see me afterwards. Maybe he has sent them over to convince or of some sort, but I was certain, he won’t be able to take me out of his pack, and he wasn’t going to let me go. He wants to use me, and he was going to remind me of how he too
Aria. “I thought you didn’t want to get close to me, I’m a bit surprised you are sitting with me in the dining room, eating.” I said to Peterson, he kept his gaze fixed on the bowl of cereal that he was eating, he didn’t add milk to it, that was mostly what he eats each time he comes around to the house. They do restock even before it finishes, and Peterson would always find something to eat. He shrugged. “Just pretend that I am not here.” “Then why are you back home and the Alpha isn’t?” He stared at me dumbly. “Because we do different work.” “But you are always with him.” “Not every time.” “That’s not what it seems like to me.” He rolled his eyes at me, and dropped his gaze back at the bowl. “I find out why you hate me.” I smirked at him, he took his gaze away from the meal he was eating, and raised his brows at me. “I never said I hated you, I told you to stop messing around with the Alpha. That was what I meant, and I have no idea what you are talking about. This is yo
Aria. “You’ve been staring at me. Is there something on my face?” Damon asked as he picked up a pen, he twirled it around his forefingers for a minute. I was seated in front of him in his study room, and Peterson was leaning against the wall at the other side of the room but he could hear what we were saying. I had been lost in thought staring at him, so I just shrugged and brought a plain sheet of paper, and spread it in front of him on the table. He held my hand, and his eyes searched my face. “Are you okay?” I nodded at him, and he let go of my hand, but kept watching me. I didn’t want to know what he was saying with those eyes of his, and I didn’t look at him. “What are you doing?” Peterson came closer and placed his hands on the table. Damon averted his gaze away from my face, and leaned against his chair. “I am trying to make something.” “What?” He gave me a puzzled frown, he was more focused on this than Damon. His thoughts seemed to be elsewhere, I had caught his gaze
Rowan. “You've been out for a few days.” I heard the door open, when he came in, I felt his presence. I was standing facing the window in my office while taking a sip from the glass of wine. “I had to be careful, they tightened security at the pack, and they’ve been watchful for the past couple of days.” He replied. “Did something happen?” I spun around slowly, and stared at him, he still had his mask on, a face cap and a black hoodie. He sat down even before I told him too. “Yes.” I dropped the glass of wine on the table, and sat down as well with my hands resting on the table and faced him. “So what happened?” “You caught Soren right?” “I did or rather he came back to the Pack.” “One of my men went after her, and he caught her.” I frowned at him, was that some sort of joke, his men caught Aria while she was in Damon’s pack? It doesn’t seem real to me. “What strings are you trying to pull?” “No strings at all. I’m telling you the truth of what happened, and you’ve to beli
Damon. The more I stayed around Aria, the more it became hard for me to keep up without my heart pounding hard against my chest. I felt nervous for no reason, and I had to remind myself times without numbers, that Aria wasn’t mine. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, but everywhere I went in the house smelled of her. She was everywhere, I wanted to get rid of the scent but each time she got close to me, my hand worked in its own accord reaching out to her and I was losing control and my sense around her. That was never my plan and things had gotten a bit messed up. “Alpha Damon, have you been listening to me?” I snapped out of my trance and stared at the Alpha of Snowball Pack, I had forgotten I was in a meeting with him. Aria had popped out of nowhere and disrupted my thoughts. “I’m sorry, what did you say, Alpha Alan.” “I was considering your options, Alpha Damon. I think I would want to work with you. Your offer seems more promising than what Alpha Rowan has been d
Peterson. “….You can’t. He’s mine.” I had taken a long stare at Alpha Damon when he said that, though he wasn’t staring at me or knew that I was staring at him.When I caught myself staring at him for a moment too long, I looked away and kept my hands behind me. I avoided staring at him through the rest of the meeting and even when I was driving home. I had to keep my gaze on the road and only stared at him when he was talking to me. I drove him back to the Pack in silence and stopped the car when I got to the mansion, I hopped down from the car and was going to open the door for him but he came down already. I took the briefcase and closed the door. I hastened my steps to get to the front door and opened it for him to get in. I lowered my head when he walked past me and went into the house. I waited for a moment, I have endured everything that I felt because I needed to stay closer to him, work with him, and protect him. I sighed and walked into the house, Aria waved at me and
Aria.I watched as his face turned red when I said that, he turned and stared at me sharply. “You don’t mean that do you?” I chuckled silently, “I just asked.” I moved out of his face and he sighed. “I will get something from the kitchen.” “The cereal?”He nodded. That was the only thing he eats when he’s around here, I don’t think I have seen him eat anything else other than that. He came back shortly with the cereal. He was staring at me while he ate from the cereal. “Why are you staring at me?” “I thought you were going to be judgemental.” “Is that why you never liked me at first?” He chuckled, and shook his head at me. “You won’t believe me if I tell you but I do wish you get everything that you want. I only work for the Alpha and only take his orders and if he orders me to do anything I will have to do it even if it involves going after your little boys.” He smirked at the last words. I stared at the bacon in front of me as if it was the first time I was seeing it. I pi
Author’s Pov. The fight was fierce, and there was a lot of blood, the moon didn’t come out as they thought it would. It was rather a dark moment in the pack, as it was covered with blood. Aria didn’t want them to kill either of them but wanted them to face judgement instead, they were defeated and then captured. Rowan thought that he stood a chance against Aria and Damon but he wasn’t able to get past just Aria. They were made to face the council, and Aria charged the other Alphas who came with Rowan for conspiracy. He denied that everything played out was a lie even when they attacked the pack. Abby had come in, he was surprised to see her, she came in with the help of Kade who held her since she couldn’t quite manage on her own. She started to bring evidence of what Alpha Rowan had done to her, her parents were in the courthouse as well, they came and brought evidence against Rowan. He couldn’t speak anymore or could defend himself for what he had done. Aria came up and re
Aria. The night was dark, there wasn’t even a moon in sight, I had felt, that something was coming, and we were getting prepared. The pack had been busy and everyone seemed to be preoccupied with one thing or the other, we hadn’t had a chance to discuss with each other and we had all been busy. “…I think they are coming this way,” Liam said as he met with me at the balcony, we were all gathered at the pack house but at different places at the moment. “They couldn’t wait.” “Knowing Rowan, that’s how he acts, and he does that fast because that’s how he thinks as well.” “So he’s coming here thinking that we aren’t prepared for him or what?” “He could think that way, that he’s about to launch an attack on our pack, and get all of us in one go, that’s probably what he’s planning.” “Then he must be stupid thinking we are just going to wait for him to attack and not do anything about it.” I tapped my hand on the railings and we stared ahead into the night. “Why did you leave Rowan?”
Rowan. “…isn’t it about time you take the mask off your face?” I asked with a groan and walked over to my desk, I sat down and took the bandage off my shoulder. The wound that I had sustained was very deep, and it took time for it to heal completely, but still, it left a scar on my shoulder. “I’ve to get Aria back. I didn’t hear from Denon and that only means that she must’ve been awake. That’s the reason he didn’t come back to find me, else he would have done that.” I tossed the bandage on the ground and exhaled. He blinked his eyes at me and wasn’t saying much, I frowned at the reaction that I got from him. “I thought we were in this together.” “You never told me about your plan to get married to her.” He said. “Well, it didn’t quite work out, did it?” “You should’ve told me about it, but you didn’t.” “You are hiding something from me too ain’t you?” I raised my brow at him. “Why don’t you take off your mask and then we can know if it’s worth it to trust each other.” He ch
Aria. The Alpha of the Crimson Pack knew who I was, and he didn’t hesitate to allow me into his pack, the second that I arrived there with Damon. He was the one who saved me that night, that’s what he told me. We followed him into the Pack, and his office, his pack wasn’t as big as Damon’s Pack, and his pack members were minimal, I wondered how someone like him could hold that power when he wasn’t even equal to most of the strongest and powerful packs in the country. “…I wasn’t the one who had bound your powers.” He said, and I raised my brows at him. “Then who did?” “Have a seat.” He gestured to Alpha Damon and me. “It was your mother.” He replied, and I blinked my eyes at him. “My mother did that?” “Yes, she did it at the very last minute, and had your powers bound, she wanted to protect you from him.” “You sounded like you knew my mother.” “I did. She grew up in our pack,” “When her pack was under attack, she requested help, but it came late, and when we got there the pa
Aria. I stared at Damon after she had shamelessly left the house, he was quiet, and we were all seated in the living room. “…we went to bury him today,” Kade said he was the one who broke the prolonged silence. I took my gaze away from Damon and stared at him. “You should have woken me up,” I muttered. “We didn’t want to bother you, and knowing how you feel about Peterson. We thought it was better to leave you out of it and tell you after, it wasn’t nice there, the one you saw here was worse than what happened there. His family was so tucked up.” Kade sighed. “I never liked him but, I could tell he had a lot held in him, and must’ve been through so much. Seeing the family he came from, I kind of pity him a little bit, they didn’t care about him or even choose to respect him on his last day.” Kade clicked his tongue. “…all they did was blame the Alpha for what happened.” Damon excused himself from our midst and took the stairs to his bedroom. I wanted to go after him but Soren sh
Aria. Damon had my bathroom prepared and made me get into the bathroom, he carried me down to the bathroom and placed me on the bathtub, he washed my hair gently, I could feel his tender fingers on my scalp and didn’t want him to stop. I bathed and left the bathroom with him, and he chose the clothes that he wanted me to wear before I could rest for the night. Next, he served me breakfast, and after I was done eating, he lay next to me on the bed and watched me. His fingers stroked my hair affectionately. “I had my hopes up…” His voice came up, and I leaned closer to him. “I thought I might not be the one that will end up as your mate and even if it wasn’t me, I was going to do what I had to, but I did hope that I ended up being your mate. Aria.” He confessed and I touched the bridge of his nose with a smile on my face. “My wolf chose you.”“What about you? Did you choose me?” “I did. We both did, Damon.” My hand moved down to his chest and he heaved a sigh of relief. He pulle
Aria. I didn’t say another word before he took me into his arms, he squeezed me against his body, holding me so tight as if I would disappear if he let me go and he didn’t want that. When he pulled away, he cupped my face in his hand, staring intently into my eyes, and slowly his gaze fell on my lips, and I kissed it.I didn’t wait for him to take any initiative, I took it, my hand wrapped around his neck, and he kissed back passionately. My wolf wanted more, and she didn’t seem to be satisfied with just kissing him, she wanted more at this rate, taking all of him, wanting to mate with him and have him claim us as his mate. We wanted our scent to be mixed with his, which would make us off limits, and everyone would know that I was his mate. He pulled away from the kiss and grazed his finger on my lips. He smiled at me, and we pulled away from each other. I had forgotten that they were in the room with me, when I turned, the bedroom was empty, and I didn’t know when they left the
Aria. I could feel my wolf, I felt her, it felt like the first time in forever, and she purred inside me. My wolf. I exhaled, and glanced around the room, staring at the strange face that had poked her face into me. She grinned and waved her hand at me. “I’ve lost some strength, hope you don’t mind if I rest up a little.” Her dark eyes were sparkling, and she didn’t smell like a wolf. “I’m not a wolf.” “Did you read my thoughts?” “Kind of.” And smirked. I glanced around and found six pairs of eyes staring down at me with concern. “She needs some time to rest.” The girl said to them, and she moved away from the bed, giving me some space. Kade sat at my right-hand side, Soren was on the left beside me and Liam stood. I reached out my hand to Kade’s face and touched it, he smiled at me and kissed my hand. I touched Soren as well, and he gave me a soft smile. “Thank you for coming back to us, Aria,” Soren muttered, his eyes glistening with tears. This was the man that they sai
Damon. We got to the Pack just like she said we would, and we used the portal that she opened. I ordered the rest of the soldiers that were in the Silverwolf Pack to retreat, and bring the chopper home. The portal opened in the bedroom of Aria, she was still on the bed, and Soren’s head was on the bed, he was resting. He lifted his head when he heard some sounds and was shocked to find us in the room with a strange-looking lady who didn’t have shoes on. She waved at Soren, and the portal closed up. She made her way down to the bed, and we followed closely. “Alpha Damon.” Soren stared at us. “We brought a witch.” Liam replied, “…she’s here to help Aria, and there’s a chance that she will survive it.” “I heard witches were hard to find and compile with, and how were you able to get one.” “We had no choice, and waited for her to come to us.” Liam sighed and walked to take a seat. “Glad, she wasn’t as harsh as I thought.” “You thought witches are harsh?” She smirked at Liam. “Ai
