Kade. “Is there another reason why you want us to move?” My father asked, he went to take a seat beside mom on the chair, he handed over a glass of water to her. “Dad, we can’t keep talking about you, you know the reason why we should leave. I think it’s better if we do, Mom hasn’t healed either since we lost Abby!” “Kade, that's enough.” He spoke quietly. “But you know that’s the truth and because since that day you’ve never asked me how I felt, Mom just never spoke about it, we tried to forget that it happened in the pack and nobody knew where Abby was. Why did you think I trained so hard to be part of the warrior in the pack?” He kept quiet, I paced behind them, because neither of them were saying a word. “Why do we have to stay, we can move from the pack and maybe heal from the past, staying here will only bring memories.” “You never spoke about this before.” Dad muttered, and exhaled deeply. “We’ve been here since it happened, why do we have to move now?” “I thought there
Aria. “I will take her home now, Mrs Smith.” I was back at the desk of the receptionist, and Peteson was beside me. “Send my regards to your Alpha.” Mrs Smith muttered, Peterson bowed, and turned to leave the hospital. I followed him to the car, and we left. Throughout the ride we were silent, I caught him stealing glances at me at intervals. Probably had something to say but wasn’t saying it. “Do you feel any better?” He eventually said when we were close to the house. “She’s a good doctor.”I nodded. “She knew I didn’t have a wolf.”He shrugged. “Everyone could sense that, if your wolf is absent we all know.”“You know I don’t have one.” He stared at me through the mirror in front of him in the driver’s seat. “I thought you everyone knows, I’m not left out of it.”I let out a deep breath, and faced the window. “That only explains why you had so many scars, you won’t be in and out of the hospital if you had a wolf, it could have saved you a lot and Alpha won’t have been dragg
Aria. “There’s someone you might want to see. He’s waiting at the living, you have been having a lot of guests visiting, Aria. How about you let them come live with us?” Peterson said as he opened the door for me, I gave him a side glare and stepped out of my room. “After you.” He gestured, and I took the stairs, and there was Lucian seated in one of the empty chairs. He was having a conversation with Damon, without being close I could feel the tension that was between them. They stared at me simultaneously, as if they had both noticed my presence. Damon had stopped talking, he rubbed his hands over his laps and leaned against the seat. “You should give us some time alone, I want to speak with Aria.” “And what if I don’t.” Damon retorted. I stared at them, wondering what was going on between them. “I want to speak with her alone, Alpha.” He drawled and kept a straight face. “This is my house.” “I will take her to my car then…” Lucian stood up, and proceeded to grab my wrist.
Aria. When I blinked my eyes, he was gone as there wasn’t a masked man just right in front of me. “What’s wrong?” I was startled when a hand touched me. I spun around, and saw Damon standing beside me. His hand squared my shoulders, and pulled me close to me. “It’s okay.” He whispered. “It’s me.” As if he had sensed my fears. He let go of my shoulder and held my hand, taking me out of the museum. He headed towards the car, and opened the door for me. “Get in, I will take you somewhere else.” I entered, and he closed the door. I hadn’t found my voice yet. He glanced at me when he started driving. “Did something happen?” He asked. I stared at me, I didn’t know how I was going to say it to him. That there was an attempt on my life at Silverwolf Pack, and Alpha Rowan’s judgement was also to have me killed. I didn’t know if it was a coincidence that such a thing was happening or if it was planned. If Rowan had any idea that I was the daughter of Alpha
Aria. “Who was that?” I asked Damon after he went out for a moment and came back afterwards. “I have taken care of it, you don’t have to worry.” He replied, and went back to put the apron back on. I tapped my fingers on the table and watched him. He threw a wink at me and stood beside the chef where I could see him turning on the gas. I sipped from the glass of wine slowly with my gaze fixed on him, he was done after some minutes. I didn’t quite check how long he was there preparing a meal. He came to me when he was done, and served the table. The Chef was behind him, holding another bottle of wine and two glasses. “This is Pan seared steak au poivre with garlic shrimps and roasted vegetables.” Damon said before he took a seat. “It’s not my favorite, if I want to make you my favorite, I would have to use my mom’s recipe. Here, have a bite.” He handed me a fork. I took it and tasted the meal on my plate and it tasted so damn good. I never knew Damon could be this good at cooking
Kade. “Get Kade in here right now!” I heard Alpha Rowan yelled outside his office, I was already there because I wanted to talk to him about transferring to another pack. Liam had stepped out of his office, and met me outside. His eyes roamed over my body for a moment. “Come in, Alpha Rowan wants you now.” He held the door of the office and opened it. I stepped into the office with a skeptical look at Liam. Alpha Rowan was seated on his desk fuming, his hand slammed against the table in front of him. I wasn’t going to ask if something was wrong, I wanted to talk to him about the issue that had been pending for days and he wasn’t saying anything about it. “Alpha about the transfer…” He lifted his hand, and made me clamp my lips shut. “Transfer?” Someone else spoke, and it wasn’t the voice of the Alpha but someone else. I looked into the office, and saw the figure that had his back against me, he was seated on the couch, and he was the one who replied to me. He stood up slowly,
Kade. I stormed out of the Alpha’s office, and hurried down through the stairs as fast as I could, breathing heavily. I was angry, my wolf needed to be let out and I needed something to let my anger out on. “Kade!” Lucian yelled my name. I ignored him as I kept heading out of the pack house. “Hold on for a moment.” I didn’t even spare him a glance, my jaw was clenched tightly as I kept walking. “Kade!”I heard his footsteps behind me as he ran towards me, and he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to face him when he got close. I yanked my hand off his grip. “Get the fuck off me!” I yelled at him. “I just wanted to talk to you, acting this way isn’t going to help any fucking thing.” “What does it mean to you? Acting this way…” I huffed. “You’ve no idea what just happened, and what I am about to do, so get the fuck off my path.” “You are not going to take Aria away from Damon are you?” “You heard the Alpha’s order.” I said through gritted teeth, Lucain exhaled and ruffled his h
Aria. I hadn’t encountered Peterson ever since the last conversation we had in the kitchen. If he was avoiding me, I didn’t know because I tried not to get involved with him anyway. And I got a note from Damon that he would be home late tonight. We haven’t had any deep discussion since then, I didn’t want to force him to talk to me. I realized he found it difficult to open up to me, whatever happened to him. I was flipping through my Mom’s diary on the balcony, I wanted to know what I should do. I felt I was being stuck and didn’t know what I should do or how I could come up with a plan. I saw someone waving a hand at me, and I lifted my head and closed the diary. Soren was outside, I didn’t know when he had come into the house. I stood up from the chair I sat on, and smiled down at him. “I will come to you.” He mouthed, and I nodded and held the railing, waiting for him to come to the balcony. It took some minutes before he came to the balcony. “Don’t tell me the guard held
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
Aria. “Damon, you didn’t tell me it’s a beach house!” I screamed in excitement as I ran towards the water, I took off my shoes as I ran, I wanted to make my feet come in contact with the water, and it did. This feeling was amazing. I started to giggle, and the little girl in me was awoken. I grinned so hard that my cheek started to hurt. Damon picked up my shoes and walked over to the beach house, he waved the shoes at me that he took them. “Do you want to join me?” I yelled so he could hear me. “If you want me to.” He replied with a smirk. I chuckled and waved him over to join me. “Take off your shoes as well.” I told him. He nodded and took off his shoes, he stepped on the water with his bare feet, and I made him come close to me. He didn’t know the plan that I had in mind as he came closer to me. I waited for him till he was close enough. “I’m here.” He said, his legs were being shaken in the water. Was it scared of it?I hope not. I smirked and pushed him, he fell back
