Aria. The plan that I had was for Alpha Damon to meet with Rowan in his pack, but I wasn’t quite sure it would stop him from coming after me and if he found out who I was, he wouldn't stop. I stood by the door of his bedroom as he dressed, he was about to leave the pack, he didn’t argue with him when I told him to go to Alpha Rowan. “Missing me already?” He asked, and smirked at him. I rolled my eyes at him, and walked closer to him. I tiptoed and helped him to fix his tie on his suit. He stared down at me. “You look pretty up close.” He muttered and I smiled at him and took my hands away from his tie and folded my arms. “What should I say when I get there? I was waiting for him to make a move at me or do anything stupid.” “And then what are you going to do?” I asked, and he lowered himself to my height. “What do you think I would do?” I shook my head. “That would cause a war between the packs, and it would lead to a disaster and I might not be able to do anything.” “Anything
Aria. Lucian had been seated for a couple of minutes without saying a word, and I came back from the kitchen, holding a glass of water because he asked for that. I gave it to him, and sat close to him. He chugged down the glass of water, and kept the empty glass cup on the table. “Thanks.” He muttered. My hand reached out to touch his face, I brushed my finger against a bruise that was healing. He took my hand away gently from his face but he didn’t let go of it. “Did you get into a fight?” He chuckled and shook his head. “I’m too old for that.” “Then, how did you get that?” I pointed at the bruise on his face. “It was an accident.” I didn’t believe that, and he knew I wasn’t going to believe such a lie that he was telling me. “I can see the look in your eyes, you don’t believe me do you?” “I think you know the answer to that. It wasn’t just an accident was it?” I inquired. “How did you even see that?” I was quite observant, and I had stared at him for a while even at the
Aria. We took a walk around the pack in the cool evening, Lucian was sipping a juice, his eyes were everywhere around the Pack. We talked about everything except the pending issue in the Pack and his work as a strategist. I never knew he could talk this much, he had this cold demeanor every time I saw him in Silverwolf Pack. We stopped at a park, there was a bench there, and in front of the park was an ice cream stall. Lucian went to get some of those ice cream and came back to sit with me on the bench. He handed one of them to me, and I took them from his hand, our hands brushing against each other. “His pack is beautiful.” He said in a low voice, and stared away from me. I hummed. “But I don’t think you should get that close to him. I think you’re smart, Aria. Resilient and strong, you shouldn’t let him use you. That’s one of his plans.” “I don’t think he’s using me.” “You don’t know him well enough.” He remarked, and I stared at the ice cream that was melting in my hand.
Damon. “I don’t trust her, Alpha or rather I don’t like her.” Peterson grumbled when we got to the Silverwolf Pack. “Why would you agree to do what she asked you to, it doesn’t make any sense.” “You trust me, don’t you Alpha?” I asked and tilted my head to the side, and glanced at him. “I do trust you, Alpha.” “Then you don’t have to worry about Aria.” His eyes were fixed on me the whole time he was speaking and while we drove to the front gate of the Pack house. The guards at the gate came to check the car, and bowed when they came close. “Tell your Alpha, we’ve come to pay a visit.” Peterson said as he looked away from me, and faced the guard. “Yes, Beta.” The guard nodded, and went out of sight. I took in a deep breath, and looked out the window. Though I could feel my Beta’s eyes on me. “Ain’t you bothered?” He asked. “About what?” I turned, and looked at him. “The girl.” “I have never brought anyone close without being sure of what I am doing…” The gate opened, and
Alpha Rowan. I swept everything off my desk with my hand angrily, Alpha Damon showing up in my pack was threatening enough. I wanted to be the first to do that but he beat me to it and came here instead. Why did he come here and cause trouble? He should have stayed away, why did he have to show up here and threaten me?Aria was his mate, how was that possible?Or it was all his plot to keep her, that girl doesn’t have a wolf in her, and Damon couldn’t keep someone like her beside him, a strong Alpha like him needs a strong Luna to stand by his side and not someone like Aria. It’s been two days since Damon came to the Pack and even when I thought about it, it pissed me off more than anything else. I collapsed back on my seat, and growled. If I had gotten his support, I would have been way through getting what I wanted, and what I would have been thinking was getting at the top of all Alphas but he had decided to ruin it. A knock on the door got me annoyed and I yelled at whoever
Alpha Rowan. “Alpha Rowan, you wanted me to get Kade. I brought him over.” Liam voiced outside the door of my office. I have been seated there for the past couple of minutes since that stranger with a mask on said those things to me. He didn’t leave yet he was behind on one of my shelves, seated there waiting to listen to the conversation we were going to have with Kade. Tapping my fingers on the desk, I wasn’t angry, I was bothered and that was more annoying than anything else I could think of. “Come in.” I said with a grunt after some seconds of thoughts, and the door opened. Liam came in with Kade and I straightened myself against the seat, and roamed my eyes over Kade. He stood firmly, his hands crossed at his back, his head slightly tilted downward. I took my gaze over to Liam, he stood some feet away from Kade.I cleared my throat. “…you must be wondering the reason why I called for you. Well. There has been a threat to my position, and I think Alpha Damon is plotting to ta
Aria. Damon came back late. “How was the meeting with Alpha Rowan…?” I asked Damon when he came back to the house without his Beta. The maid welcomed him, and took his suit jacket from his hand, and a briefcase. “Have you been up waiting?” He said and stopped in front of me. “Were you worried about me or how the meeting with Alpha Rowan was…” He asked with a cocky smile, lowering himself to my height. “You came late, I was worried. I thought the meeting wouldn’t take much time.” I said while locking my gaze with him.“It didn’t. We had other things to do.” He straightened himself, and stroked his fingers over my hair. “Were you able to eat dinner?” He shook his head slowly. “I will have your dinner in the microwave and serve you.” I muttered and was about to turn towards the kitchen when he reached out to grab my wrist and pulled me into his arms, and my head hit against his chest.His hand gently moved over the small of my back and rested there. I was frozen for a moment in h
Aria. I was informed that Soren was at the house, it has been two days since Damon returned from the Silverwolf Pack, and he had been distanced since that night. He never told me what work he was doing that kept him busy, and not being able to see him despite the fact that we were in the same house. Peterson was different, I could tell clearly that he was avoiding me, he doesn’t talk to me and treated me as if I was fucking invisible and he doesn’t even get close. I came downstairs, and met with Soren pacing around the living room. He stopped when he saw me, and dropped his hands to his side. He forced a smile on his lips, it was something he did when he was uncomfortable. “You don’t look too good, Aria. Are you sick?” He strode over to me, and placed a hand over my forehead. I shook my head at him and took his hand away, but he held my hand and didn’t let go. “You look pale.” “I wasn’t able to get some sleep last night.” I muttered, and he stretched out his arms, I fell int
Lucian. I treated the bruises on my face and cleaned the blood off, I stared at my bruised face in the mirror in the bathroom and sighed. Soren had run away from the Pack, and Liam was investigating what happened, though I had no idea why he was doing that and it was clear that Soren had killed the guard that was supposed to take him to prison and run away. A fight had broken out, some of the soldiers came, fought, and thought that I was with Soren and beat me up. I didn’t fight back, it would ruin my chance against Rowan if I did and that would make it even more suspicious, I did nothing. And allowed to get hit. I had no idea where Soren had gone after what he did but Alpha Rowan had ordered me to come to his office in the pack house and that was where I was headed. I grabbed the face towel and wiped my face clean with it and dropped it at the handle door. I came out of the bathroom and walked down to my wardrobe for some clothes. “Sir, Lucian. I brought the coffee you reque
Aria. I came to a halt when I saw him, I think he had been watching me while standing beside a tree, then, I made my way down to him slowly counting my steps as I did. He waited, waiting for me to come to him, and I felt this uncertainty in my chest, the closer that I got to him but I kept going until I was a foot away. He took the last step, and he was just as I had known, and his auburn hair was somehow messy. I stretched and reached out to touch his hair, and tried to calm it with my hand, he grasped my wrist and brought down my hand but didn’t let go of it. He held it, caressed it, and brought it to his lips and kissed it. The silence between us said a lot more than we did and he closed the distance between us in a bone-crushing hug. “I miss you, Aria.” He muttered against my ear. My hand tightened around his back, I had missed him just as much. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you.” He pulled away from me and held my face in his hand, his eyes stared intently into mine.
Damon. Throughout my meeting, and while I was in the office I was staring at the brown handkerchief that belonged to Aria. I brought out a mirror from my drawer stared at the cut that was on my forehead, and brushed a finger over it. It was healed but the memories were still very vivid like it happened just some hours ago. I dropped the mirror and held the handkerchief, it had Aria's scent on it and smelled just like her. I kept the handkerchief on my desk and stared at it. “Alpha. Can I come in?” I heard the voice of Peterson. “What is it?” I asked and he opened the door and came into the office with a smile. He dropped them on my desk. “They are planning on canceling the school project in the Pack.” “I thought we were working on that?” “That’s what I thought too, Alpha.” “This wasn’t the report I wanted to get from you, we’ve to establish the policy in the pack, everyone in the pack will be treated equally in schools and anyone who can’t afford it would be offered some aid
Soren.I was allowed to meet with Lucian, he was having a meeting in the council. I didn’t wait for the meeting to be over before I called him out. I was pacing outside in anger, the guard was watching me under close gaze as if I was about to run away but I know he couldn’t wait to get me, hold me down and take me back into the dungeon. I waited for Lucian to come out. “Soren.” He called, and I turned when I heard the sound of his voice. My eyes locked onto him. For a moment, we just stared at each other, the tension between us palpable.Then, in a flash of movement, I was across the space between us, my hands closing around Lucian's collar like a vice. I slammed him back against the nearest car, the metal crunching beneath the impact.Lucian's eyes went wide as I punched him hard in the face, his head snapping back against the car. He spat out a mouthful of blood, but I was beyond reason."How could you?" I snarled, my fists clenched and ready to strike again. "How could you snitc
Soren.. “What do you mean?” Alpha Rowan asked. I watched him as he took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. “I would ask you again, what does that mean?” “I went to the Pack just as you ordered me to, and I can’t tell you how I went there because it’s part of our secret, and we never agreed that we should say that out loud but I was able to get Aria, and then we succeeded in leaving the Pack. I handed her over Kade since he would bring her to you to the Pack.” “He was supposed to do that.” He mumbled quietly. “So why didn’t he do that?” “I don’t know Alpha, he deceived me into taking another part, and then left with Aria. I thought he came down to the Pack but I guess that he didn’t.” He walked across his desk, his fingers tracing the edges of the table. “That’s not what I heard.” He leaned against the table. “Someone was here before you did, and told me about the plan that you had with him. You want me to tell you what the plan was…” He stared at me, and I remained unfaz
Soren. I didn’t feel pleased with what I was doing or what I said to Aria. I was lying to her, and it didn’t sit well with me. I didn’t like the feeling that I had but I couldn’t stop myself from doing it. Kade said he was going to handle it, after I hand Aria to her. I should go back to the Pack and made a report about it, that was the plan. I met Aria outside after she jumped down from her window, I wanted her to be careful. I wasn’t doing this because I didn’t trust Alpha Damon, we just couldn’t take it that Aria was here and not being safe. “Did your hurt yourself?” I saw a bruised on her knee. “When I was climbing down, it wasn’t as easy as I thought.” “You’ve got to be careful, Aria and avoid getting yourself hurt.” “I know so stop with the nagging and let’s leave, Damon will be soon.” “How did you know? I thought he always worked late.” “I heard the maid that was watching, talking to him on the phone, she told him you were here and was leaving.” “And that’s going to
Aria. “Miss. Someone is here to see you.” A maid announced on my door, I stood up from the bed, I have been in my room the whole day after I ate breakfast alone. I heard the voices of Damon and his Beta when they were leaving the house, they left very early in the morning. Damon didn’t drop a message or anything, they just left. I could barely even eat my food, I wasn’t really in a good mood, and I was losing my appetite for food. I came down from the bed and walked to the door, I opened it and met with the maid outside.“Who is it?” “Mr. Soren. He’s outside the front door, and I wanted to come inform you before I let him in, it was the instructions that we got from the Alpha.” She answered, and I nodded at her. I came out of my room and shut the door behind me, I followed her downstairs, we got to the front door, and I told her I would handle it. She bowed slightly, and left. I held the door knob and opened it, Soren was standing there in a jean and shirt, and brown coat. I s
Soren. “…so what should we do?” I asked and rubbed my hands together, I was with Kade, he just finished his training wwith the soldiers. I jumped up from the field I was seated on, and went to himHe was shirtless with just his shorts on. “What do you mean?” He asked. He was walking really fast, I had to jogged to keep up with his face. He was getting towards the end of the field, there was water and a bench placed there. I sat on tbe bench when we got there, and he went to the running water to wash his face. He threw a face towel at him, and he grabbed it and cleaned his face, he walked slowly towards me and sat on the bench next to me. I gave him a bottle water, he took it from my hand and uncapped it. “I got a message from Peterson.”“Who the fuck is that?” Kade furrowed his gaze at me and I rolled my eyes as if he didn’t know who that was, nonetheless, I said “Damon’s Beta.”“What did he say?” “Aria wants to see me.” His hand squeezed the bottle water in his hand. “She wan
Damon. It took a lot to pull myself away from Aria. I was sure of what I felt for her, but I was certain of the feeling that she had for me and I had the thought what if she ended up regretting it and that it shouldn’t have been me? That’s the reason I pulled back from her. Before I came to the beach house, I had made plans and I didn’t want to come without being prepared though I didn’t tell her where we were going. But now we were heading back home because I decided to ruin the moment, I could have kept my hands in my pants. We changed our clothes in the house before we left the beach, and she had seen some old pictures and artifacts in the house. We owned the house, but every member of the Pack could go in there the only place they couldn’t enter was my personal space and that was where we got changed. “…the white wolves, what are they called?” She broke the silence during the ride back home. “Crimson.” I kept my gaze ahead of the road I was driving, I wanted to steal a glan
