Aria's POV;

"I guess I'll be the only one doing the talking. I'll start with my name. I'm Damien," with one hand on the wheels and the other out the window, allowing the wind to pass through his fingers, golden locks stranger said.

One couldn't blame a lady for being too scared to speak in the presence of someone who left her with no choice.

The best thing I could do for my safety was to sit up straighter than I ever hand, with my hand protectively clinging onto the seat belt like my life depended on it.

Yet, another word from him and I still wasn't saying anything.

Even if I wanted to, my mouth wasn't ready to cooperate with me, too scared to speak in front of this psychopath. Yes, although, he called himself Damien, but the best name that suited him was Psychopath.

I was thankful that the trip to college was a very short one and I was ready to be out of his car as fast as i could.

Judging from my love for sports car, one would have thought I'd happily be free spirited and cheery to enjoy the mood but instead, all I wished for was to be out as best as I could.

Finally, we arrived there and without another word, I had my hand on the car lock, ready to open it.

A quick snort from Damien had me pausing, my limbs going stiff for a brief moment. "Looks like someone enjoyed my company much more than I thought."

Every one of his words was dripping with sarcasm, leaving me with the urge to punch his face.

Thanks to my weakened limbs and fortunately for him, I wasn't going to be able to carry that action out.

"Y...yeah," was the only word I managed to say, facing the other side to avoid staring into his eyes.

He wasn't saying much and yet, every one of the sounds he made me me feel like a worm in his presence.

No one had ever made me feel this way- scared and at the same time uncomfortable, and yet, a stranger had managed to make me feel like this.

The moment he parked his car, I wasted no time in unlocking the door jumping as fast as I could but i didn't realize how much that would end up becoming the biggest mistake of my life when my face ended up right in between two soft undeniably plastic balloons that seemed to have had their fill in a bathtub of perfumes.

"Move," unlike every other movie where it would have been a female to speak next, it was a male voice that entered into my ears.

I was too caught by surprise that the only word that left my lips was "Ha?" too dumb to speak coherent words.

Imagine my surprise when I raised my head, only to see a very feminine face. The sharp curl of her eyelashes and her thin painted lips was enough to make me more shocked than I already was.

Since when did she start speaking like a male?

"Are you going to keep standing, enjoying the fill of my tits since yours are.... something else?" her lips moved as these words escaped them.

Immediately, the next question I asked myself was whether I was starting to be high or if I was beginning to hear the wrong things.

I couldn't deny that I had first heard a male voice and now, I was hearing an entirely different voice from that. Did she have some sort of ability that made her switch between voices.

"Hey freshman, do you want to keep provoking her or you'd like to avoid troubles?"

Thankfully, my eyes was staring at her lips and I was finally able to see that she wasn't the one who had spoken.

The voice I just heard was the same as the first one that had asked for me to move.

Feeling a shadow cast over me, I subtly turned, only to see a much more taller frame of a male standing beside Bambi.

Yes, Bambi was the best word I could use to describe the princess with the plastic boobs.

It was easy to tell since I could already smell it on her. Remind me why a werewolf had to go for plastic surgery despite knowing every other of her kind would be able to tell.

I shook my head to draw myself out of my thoughts, with a quick bow of apology, I took hasty steps away from them.

Only a few metres away and Damien's loud voice had me stopping in my tracks once again.

"Take another step and watch me carry you around the school grounds," he threatened while getting out of his car, nonchalantly staring at the students that all had their focus on him.

One thing I could tell even if I had only just met him was that he looked like someone of his words that didn't just make empty threats.

Thanks to his threatening height that also made me feel smaller compared to him, I was successfully frightened.

"Damien, who is she? Why is she with you this morning? Is she the reason you forgot to pick me up?" Bambi was quick to stomp her foot, pouting her lips before walking straight to confront him.

Meanwhile, I was starting to wonder exactly what I had done to deserve all of this drama just on my second day of college.

Was this the behaviour of the spoilt rich kids? My question was answered when the other guy whose voice I had misjudged to have been Bambi speaking, smiled at me with a wink.

"Lucian," he mouthed to me.

Now that I could properly look at him, I was captivated by how gentle and calm his features were.

If Damien was the one who managed to get my blood rising and my heart unsettled just from one look, then, red hair was the exact opposite.

A heavy hand suddenly fell on my shoulder, pulling me out of my thoughts only for me to turn and see Damien's familiar face and body. "Meet my new girlfriend. Esmeralda, say hi to her," came his words while he pulled me tighter to himself.

At that moment, the air suddenly seemed to have frozen for me as my scalp tingled.

What exactly had I been pulled into before I had the chance to understand?

    ARIA'S POV; I have never been stared at so intensely in my life compared to the way most of the students have all been staring at me since morning. Every attempt at trying to make a conversation had gone down the drain, thanks to the Bambi sending them death glares. "What is wrong with everyone?" I sighed for the hundredth time on my way to class. It was my second day in college and yet, I was enjoying none of it. I never wished to experience the same thing I had faced this morning ever again. "I'd also like to know," came the answer I wasn't expecting and immediately, I stopped in my tracks. Turning to my side, to see a petite female beside me who had glasses framing her tiny face, with her head in a scattered bun- yes, not a messy but a scattered bun, making me realize there was no intent in trying to make herself look pretty. My smile came freely on my face and I didn't need to fake it again while I walked with her. I was on the way to the last class I had whi

    RONALD'S POV; How was I to shatter every illusion she had in her head? What was I to tell her that the man whom she knew as a father was not her father but the same man who was responsible for the death of her biological father? I had to keep this secret from her because it was one thing I owed the man she knew as a father. It was the promise I made to him years ago, never to tell her and it was the same reason I couldn't help but reject her, knowing I couldn't let her know. It pained me to see her smile at others, even making me conscious of our age difference. Bringing Caroline into the picture was a way to caution myself to stay off Aria. Despite the rejection, I could still feel the connection we had, making me know our bond was yet to be fully broken. I wasn't going to be the one to tell her about this secret and neither was I prepared to. Though, I wasn't willing to admit the fact that I wished to build feelings between us first even if I wanted to tell this to her. I

  • My uncle, My mate   The interrogation

    ARIA'S POV I sat on my bed, surrounded by the familiar walls of my room, but my mind was a million miles away. My mind kept drifting back to the scattered paper Ronald had dropped back at the lecture hall- the adoption document that was starting to increase my curiosity and confusion. Why had he not let me pick it up? Why was the same document in my late father's drawer? The questions swirled in my head like a vortex, leaving me dizzy and disoriented. I felt like I was living in a dream, where nothing made sense and everything was shrouded in mystery. Just as I was starting to get lost in my thoughts, I heard the sound of footsteps outside my door. "Aria, dear, your uncle wants to see you downstairs," Caroline's voice called out. I sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of trepidation wash over me. Caroline and I didn't seem like two who were going to see eye-to-eye. She always seemed to be watching me with an air of disdain, her eyes narrowing slightly whenever I walked into the room

    ARIA'S POV;The evening air was heavy with the scent of raw food and worn-out silence. I sat at the counter, nursing a bowl of cornflakes, my eyes fixed on the blank wall ahead. My mind, however, was elsewhere, replaying the challenging encounter with Caroline and Ronald earlier that day. The way she had smiled, the way she had laughed, it all seemed so fake, so forced. I couldn't help but wonder what she was really after. Was it just about the rejection or the fact that she felt something was going on between Ronald and I? As I sat there, lost in thought, the sound of the door creaking open broke the spell. I turned to see my said uncle, Ronald, stumble into the kitchen. His eyes were glassy, his hair disheveled, and his smile lopsided. He was drunk, and I could tell it was going to be one of those nights I never thought I'd see. His cheeks were a painted shade of red that made him look funny, yet cute. I didn't say a word, hoping he'd just grab a glass of water and stumble off to

    ARIA'S POV; The next morning, I was pumped up and ready to follow the map I had come up with before sleep took me to rest. Unfortunately for me, the kiss with Ronald last night had made it impossible for me to get the sleep I deserved and left me with the option of staring into blankness until my eyes couldn't keep up anymore. "I'm going out," I said to Caroline that morning before leaving the house. Not only was I awkward about being with her after I was almost caught last night, but I still wasn't pleased about her presence here. "Once I get a job, all of this would be over," were the words I used to console myself, feeling pumped to start seeking jobs I could do. Thirty minutes outside and I was starting to regret my decision. The various shops I had gone to claim not to be seeking workers and yet, they'd hire a lady with smaller chest than mine. It was true that my front side was bigger than the average women's size. As a result of this, it had been hard to see

  • My uncle, My mate   The new club

    ARIA'S POV; "Are you going to keep staring at my boyfriend?" I hadn't realised Esmeralda was right behind me not until she spoke harshly. In the few minutes I had previously gotten to know, I had easily realised she wasn't someone with the kind of character I'd enjoy. The moment I stared at her, I could see daggers flying from her eyes, straight at me and only if it were real, I'd have been long dead by now. Even after hearing the grunts of pain behind me, I paid it no heed, refusing to be the one to break the stare between us. It was hilarious seeing as she was so prickly when the best she could have done was to not do anything. "Are you just going to keep acting like a b*tch everytime we meet?" This question slipped past my mouth, leaving me with no chance to stop it. Judging by Esmeralda's reaction, she had also been caught off guard. Her mouth went open and then closed repeatedly, raising a shaky index finger at me as she said helplessly, "You...you!" "How m

  • My uncle, My mate   Z club

    Ronald's POV; Every attempt at convincing myself that the kiss I had with Aria last night in the kitchen was a mistake had come to nothing but a total failure. The feeling of her soft lips on mine, with our tongues clashing, together with the warmth of her mouth only made me hard every second I thought about her. Staring down at the pile of scripts in front of me, I sighed for the hundredth time upon seeing the scribbled lines on it. A small crack and I stared at the broken pen in my hand, reminding myself of why I had to endure all of this once again. "You said you were going to join me for lunch but instead, you buried yourself in this office since the morning," Caroline's accusal finally had me raising my head after hours of burying my face in documents I still wasn't able to go through. Taking a quick look at the window, I marveled at how fast it had gotten dark. The subtle click of heels hitting the floor drew my attention back to Caroline again, only to see sh

    ARIA'S POV; "It's okay, I don't bite," finally, the weirdo Damien had taken me to sit with at the corner finally spoke after minutes of us both staring at each other. I didn't know what it was but there was something off about the bald man in front of me. He gave off this weird vibe that seemed to tell me to run away from me and at that moment, it was clear, I didn't want to be here. But yet, here I was, sitting stuck up beside Damien who looked more relaxed with his legs crossed on the table. Since the moment he had stepped into the club with my hand in his, I didn't fail to notice how the gazes of everyone had subtly turned to us. It was scary and at the same time pleasing. "You sure do look like you're about to take a bite from her if she does speak," Damien answered for me, causing the strange man to chuckle. Together with the sound he made, there was the great warning once again for me to stay away from him. I let out a small laugh, avoiding eye contact with

    Aria's pov; "Now, now, now, mate. I know you want to say it just as much as I want you to. You don't have to hide from me. I'd give you everything you ever wished for," Ronald said, still smiling while my anger was slowly starting to get to the roof. There was one thing about the way he stared into my eyes that made it appear like he knew about all the things I was hiding no matter how well I tried to do it from him. To me, it was like I didn't have my privacy to myself, with an intruder barging in at the most unpleasant time. "Shouldn't you be busy with college work or something? I'm guessing you don't have time to talk with me now," I said with a scornful laugh while trying to force my chin out of his hand but as it turned out, I seemed to have overestimated how much power he held within those fingers because after several attempts at trying to move my chin from his hold, it ended up being useless. Frustrated, I squeezed my eyebrows tightly to show my dissatisfaction,

  • My uncle, My mate   Bamboozling her?

    Aria's pov: Waking up from the dream, I stared around me only to see that it was as silent as it could get. Even the machines were nowhere in sight and I couldn't help but frown before taking a look at my body to see if I didn't really need help as I had thought in the first place. "Yes, it's intact. Nothing is missing," I said to myself in confusion and my sudden attempt at trying to stand up was an action that made it appear like I was making the biggest mistake of my life. Surprisingly, standing up on one foot wasn’t as difficult as I thought it was going to be after a month of not moving. If at all, it only made me seem like my body was more flexible and as it was, it seemed like I was walking on the clouds. “This is so easy. Not even as difficult as I thought it would be,” I said, chuckling to myself and feeling very proud that I didn’t have to rely on anybody to be able to do this. Previously, upon waking up, there was this sudden urge I had to be able to walk with

  • My uncle, My mate   The first one

    Aria's pov; Not again. Not this same scene again. This wasn't where I wanted to be and even the universe must be aware and was only using this to mock me. I didn't expect to find myself here again, not after collapsing in the ward again, only few minutes after waking from my already long consciousness. The scene I didn't even want to re enact slowly replayed in front of me like a movie. Each and everytime I had painted images in my head, there happened to be a point where a gentle tweak was going to happen and there after, there was a possibility of everything changing, like a whole new scene. As I sat back on the recliner chair, thinking about the past of the thoughts I had back then when I had no idea that things like this wasn't going to happen, a smile spread on my face just thinking about it. What had I pictured my first time with my lover was going to be? At that period, most ladies my age had all had their fair share of what sex was but yet, there I was, in a who

  • My uncle, My mate   Embracing darkness

    Aria's pov; I don't know what had been existing in this ward since I woke up but its presence couldn't be compared to the one that I had first felt. I could feel the doctor cease to stop breathing and his eyes were as wide as saucers, gaping at me, looking star struck. Yes, I wouldn't have thought the present me would be saying something like this now but it couldn't be helped. "A...ria? It's me. Ronald," Ronald said in the most gentle voice I've ever heard him speak in but I'd be a fool to fall for this again. Thinking about it, where had he been up until the moment I told him about being pregnant and till I lost the child, thanks to his jealous lover? Without saying a word, I chose to remain quiet, ignoring the lies escaping his mouth and choosing to focus on me instead. "Get out!" I said again, this time, louder and sharper than before. A small gasp from the doctor had me knowing he was still here, frozen in shock but I couldn't be bothered about his presence,

  • My uncle, My mate   Refusal

    One month later Aria's pov; Eternal darkness was the one thing I've been seeing repeatedly. I had no idea how much time had passed and neither did I want to. During my long wait in the darkness, I had been in enough pain to keep me awake. Despite this, not a single voice had I heard and not even a sign of light. Darkness was the one word I could use to describe my current state. "Would she be waking up anytime soon?" I heard a voice asked calmly. And for the first time, I felt my body come alive. Not because of the words of the person but because after a long time, when I thought all hope was lost, I finally heard one voice and this time, it wasn't just my wolf trying to talk to me or me trying to encourage myself. It was real and I could feel it. I tried to force my eyes open just like every other time, but only tried harder while hoping on the stars that there was going to be a change. I couldn't feel my eyes and neither could I feel any other part of my body b

  • My uncle, My mate   Awakened beast

    Third person's POV; The smell of blood and the tangy smell of mold filled the air, creating a suffocating feeling. Along with the silence and the darkness, it was the perfect spot to commit a crime. A crime that was worth taking a life for. Accompanying this strong yet uncomfortable setting were the echoes of sounds that bounced off the walls, a reminder that there were other things much scarier than a horror movie. "Haaaaaaaaa!" A loud scream resounded before echoing loudly. The shrillness of the scream was the last thing that ought to be heard in a place that already permeated this type of feeling. In one of the dark cells, that had scratch marks sitting on the wall like a proud mark of how much violence had gone down here. The only sort of light in here was the dim one that hung above the roof, its presence calm yet powerful, giving off the feeling of a predator. Slowly, the solemn sound of chains rattling in the cell was like setting off the timer of a bomb. Th

  • My uncle, My mate   Their fear

    Third person's POV; One week- one week had gone by and the only words Ronald kept hearing was, "We are trying our best and hoping she wakes up as soon as possible." Each time, these words struck harder and kept sounding more like a death sentence. Like always, he sat by the bedside, staring at the sickly pale face of the one laying on it. She had a tube connected into her mouth that assisted with her breathing but for Ronald, watching her like this was a huge pain to him. "Alpha, you have to come to the pack. The elders are already going crazy enough and demand to know why you kept their candidate locked up in the pack's cell," said Lucas who had been by his side throughout the whole ordeal. Just like his boss, he appeared just as haggard but their only difference was that Lucas still had the decency to trim his hair compared to the former. From his oddly buttoned shirt, down to his rough pants which looked like they had been dug out of a pile of clothes abandoned f

  • My uncle, My mate   The unknown life

    Aria's POV; We've always been told that there were only three options; life, death and the one in between. But no one ever told me that there was more to it. That there was more to not knowing the difference between all three or that there was something else hidden in all of this. I could vividly remember the repetitive stab to my stomach, the one to my chest and also the exact pain I felt while experiencing all of these. Yet, could someone tell me why I was sitted on a flower bed, watching a kid that looked just like a mixture of Ronald and Damien run around the beautiful environment? Things would have been much easier to decide if it felt more like heaven or the afterlife but guess what? It was none of these two. As real as it seemed, every pain that rocked through my body and my bones was the one thing I needed to make me aware that this wasn't real. The kid running around me happily wasn't real and neither was the blue flowery gown I was wearing. You know what el

  • My uncle, My mate   A dark turn

    Third person's POV; Back at the Paxton pack, Ronald couldn't be any more happy to be going to Damien's wedding. Not that he held any sort of loving feeling for him in the first place but the thought that nothing could ever happen between he and Aria again was what brought great joy to him. "Are these all I need?" he asked the maid standing in front of him with her hands folded in front of her and her head curtly bowed. If more attention were to be paid to hard, it wouldn't be difficult to notice the way her legs shook in fear and the small wobbling of her lips while she forced herself to speak. "Yes Alpha," she answered fearfully. Nodding to Ronald's question was the biggest mistake any of them could make and fearing him was the best thing they could ever do. Even Lucas who stood with a pen and a jotter, behind the couch where Ronald was sitted was smart enough to know these things and give the necessary space. With a finger tracing the edge of his lip while his ga
