- Dante -Loveth looked extremely pretty in the dress I had gotten for her. I must commend Aria for a good job. She has helped me in picking the dress and making preparations for the dinner."What motives do you have?" She had playfully asked."None except to show my appreciation," I had told her. But now that Loveth sat in front of me at the dining table, I was not sure if that was the only motive I had in mind."You look very Pretty," I commented and she looked down shyly, her face pink with the blush."Thank you," she said quietly.Nothing moved me more than seeing this feminine side of her. The field does not give many privileges for that.We began to eat, and halfway through, I decided to ask her the question I was burning to ask."You said you have no man in your life?" I asked. "I know I have asked this before but it is difficult to believe that you are still single.""Well, I am," she shrugged casually."You don't love anyone?" I wanted to know and she chuckled."I might be a
- Sierra -"When are you going to get on with this?" I asked my brother when I walked into the room without a knock. He was already used to me doing that and only sighed when I did."Sierra I have already told you. I need more time to put everything in place then I am going to strike," he said."What things do you need to put in place?" I wanted to know. "You don't need so much to bring these people down. You know I know this well. So why are you not doing it?" He walked towards me."Do you know who Aria is?" He asked and I found his question ridiculous."I know damn well who she is," I replied sharply."You know my problem with you is how impatient you get," he said. "Aria is not just who you think she is."He walked a few paces away towards the window. I looked at him expectantly."What do you mean by she is not who I think she is?"He went silent, looking out through the window."Brother?" I cocked my head towards his direction. He turned back to me."We are not the only werewolve
- Aria -"Could you give me some time to think about this?" I said to her after I had spent all the time thinking. I just couldn't find the right words for her request."It can't be that hard..." She wanted to push."I will get back to you not long after now," I maintained and she nodded"I will be very happy if you consider this and give me a positive response. It would mean a lot to me," she said before walking out and not long after she did, Loveth walked in."Was that the pretend Luna I saw coming out of your room?" She asked, pointing her fingers backwards towards the door. I chuckled inwardly."She is.""What does she want?" Loveth asked and I shrugged."Said she wants to be my maid," I told her, and an amused look crossed her face."That is strange," she commented and I nodded."The same thing I thought.""That lady is so puffed up with pride. How's she request to be a mate of yours?""The same thing I wonder about," I said thoughtfully."Well, what did you tell her?" Loveth wa
- Dante -It was a dark forest and the silence was louder than a thousand drums put together. I was in the middle of nowhere and the cold was enough to freeze me to death.My teeth chatter, and I wrap my arms around myself to feel warm. It did not help. I decided to shift. My fur might serve as a good cover. Surprisingly, I couldn't shift either...What the hell is happening to me? Where am I? I looked around fearfully. I heard a movement and jumped."Hello?" My voice shook. There was no one in sight. "Is there anyone here?"Then there was the chirping of birds, which sounded so creepy to my ears. Now I would prefer the gross silence to this sound. At least, I thought I was alone. Not now that I heard movements and I could not tell who was there with me, if it was a prey or predator."You miss me?"A light yelp escaped my throat. Now that voice was fucking familiar, but try as I may, I could not tell who owned it."Who are you? What are you?" I asked again even though I did not think
-Adonai-It took a while before what she said was registered in my head."Are you insane?" I retorted, placing a finger on the side of my head."No, I am not," she responded confidently."How can you say such a thing?""I am only trying to help you, alpha," she said. "Think of what the people at the table will say when you return there without a bride.""And have you thought about what it would be when they also realize that you are not Aria?""They wouldn't have to know. A bride can be veiled. You are not under any law to reveal your face to anyone. I believe that they might think that is what you want and they will respect it."I hesitated, trying hard to think about what Prisca had said. She was right. I would be seen as a fool if I returned to the people with the news of Aria eloping with another man and there would be no wedding.It would be the second time I gathered people and something ruined the ceremony."You know what, you are right. But this is just for the cerem
-Prisca- Yes! My plan has finally worked. I am going to exchange marital vows with Adonai and legally be his wife.It does not count that I am impersonating Aria. He is not going to be tied to Aria in reality but to me.I sat beside him, before the crowd with my face veiled and a sly smile across my face which no one could see.A few people had suggested I take off the veil so they could behold my face but Adonai politely declined. No one pushed it, and I successfully got tied to Adonai.I had feared that Dante would have wanted to expose me because he didn't seem pleased with the plan, but he didn't.I was led to Adonai's room while the party continued in the hall. There I took off my veil and sat comfortably on his bed.He was not here yet, for he was still having some drinks with his visitors. I chuckled happily. Alas, my dream has come to pass.The door opened and I quickly adjusted. I hissed when I saw it was Ariel."What are you doing here?" I asked sharply. She did no
/-Aria-/The cry of the baby sounded like a melody to my ears. I did it! I gave my mate a child! The curse was broken! Happy tears streamed down my cheeks. I was not the useless omega after all. Finally, my mate would be able to present me to the Elders with pride. No one would look down on my tiny weak wolf anymore. Most importantly, I would stop being Alpha's dirty secret. “You did it, Aria. It’s a beautiful girl. She has her father’s eyes and your smile,” Mary, the nurse told me. Tears of joy streamed down my cheeks. All those months of humiliation had been worth it. When I became pregnant with the baby, Asher pleaded I keep it a secret. That his father would never let him take over the pack if he discovered he’d impregnated a cursed omega.I tried not to be hurt by that. Everyone called me cursed because no one knew my parents or where I had come from. I was a stray who stumbled into their pack years ago and since then, I have been doing my best to serve them so they don’t s
/-Aria-/My eyes fluttered opened. An excruciating pain shot up my sides and I hissed in pain. My mind was foggy and a terrible migraine shot through the sides of my head. What is happening? The last thing I remembered was the anguish of burning to death. My chest tightened as I remembered the shrill cries of my baby. I glanced around but all I noticed was the surprisingly large bedroom with a strange girl sleeping by my side. This didn't seem anything like the afterlife. I looked down at my body, expecting to see a burned skin but I was taken aback by the flawlessness of the pale milky skin. “W…what is happening…” I croaked. My throat hurt from extreme dryness. The girl by my side raised her head and yawned tiredly. When her eyes connected with mine, she let out a scream, startling me. “Jasmine?!” She was already off the bed, at a reasonable distance. Her green eyes were wide in shock and slight panic.“You're awake?” She mumbled skeptically. Who is Jasmine?“Aria…” I drawled

- Zafa -Not long after I was done from the training ground, a guard walked up to me and said Aria wanted to see me.I asked if it was urgent, and he said no, so I took my bath before going to meet her."You said you wanted to see me," I said when I went to her."Yes, Zafa. How is everything," she asked casually."Going just fine," I said as I waited for what she would say."Yeah, could you give Loveth a day off from training?" She said."Huh?" I did not know when that escaped my lips, and she looked up at me."I asked if you could give Loveth a day off training," she repeated."What for, if I may ask why?" I think I do know, but I needed to hear it from her."Oh I just want her to have a break, that's all," Aria said guardedly. She did not want to tell me it was because of the dinner date."Just that?" I pressed."Dante wants to give her a treat and I think it is deserving. She has been of a lot of help here; you will agree with me," she said, and I swallowed lightly. "So give her a
- Aria -There was a soft knock on the door and I looked up."Come in," I said, loud enough for whoever was by the door. If squeaked open slowly and Dante's head peered in."May I come in please?" He asked politely and I gave him a small smile."Yes please, Dante. Come in."He walked in and closed the door behind him."How are you doing?" I asked and he nodded."Never better than now. I am here to thank you for saving my life.""That wouldn't be me," I said lightly. "You should thank Loveth instead. She was the one who discovered the two elders were lying by spying on them and sneaking to find the book. It took some time but she was able to do it."There was an expression of realisation on his face and then he smiled."Very well then, I will make sure to thank her. But I am still grateful for you then because I know you overlooked it all.""You are welcome."He waited for a while, then shifted his foot uncertainly."Is there something else you want to tell me?" I asked."Uhm..." He st
- Dante -I have finally come to the end of it and I have accepted my fate. I looked down to the people whose eyes already pierced my skin more than any sword would and I was not afraid of death anymore.Yes, I have failed them and my death was deserving.While Levi was addressing them, I barely paid attention to anything he was saying. I just wanted this to be over.Aria walked up right after then and even though I appreciated that she was trying to make an effort for my sake, there was no point. She could only delay this, but death was inevitable for me.However, the conversation between the two was becoming interesting and everyone waited to see what Aria would come up with this time around.She snapped her fingers and Loveth appeared behind her with the book of the law.Levi went into a mini heart attack."Get her! Seize her right now," he shouted, but no one moved."Calm down Levi," Aria said, unruffled. "We haven't exposed the secret yet have we? Save your strength for when we w
