Fear!Confusion!And that wonderful feeling of his Love!The night's cold breeze hit me, asking me to shiver and hug the duvet tighter.The chilly air surrounded me and hugged me as though it were trying to choke me in my worry and sleeplessness tagged along with fatigue.I could hear the melodious now turned annoying music of the woods, the nature's sound was always something I longed to listen to.For the same unknown reasons, I found it annoying and really wanted it to stop.The owls hooting, the screams of the Lumpkin that sounded terrifying to my ears, the yelping of the frogs and clicking of bats.I wasn't okay at all not even a little tiny bit as I couldn't help but fear for the worse, funnily enough I wasn't threatened or feeling in any danger at the pack.If anything, I was safe because I had a backup which was trustworthy.It wasn't every day, a mere slave like me enjoyed the warmth of the future Alpha's bed.Every so often it seemed like every night we played a game of hide and seek, I got better at it.If war were to break out soon, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be seen because of how skilled I've become leaving his bed to jump into mine.Last night's passion alongside his whispers of love, promises of the future and kisses somehow hit me as though it were the last.I knew I was probably thinking the worst, but some things just couldn't be helped at all.I tried shrugging it off after telling him, and his response was less worrisome, as he didn't even think about it at all.To him, I had no reason for being scared because we were being extra careful, throughout the years and never, for once, have we ever been suspected or even looked at twice.Throughout our years together, I have seen Scott transform into the best he could be, and I was already seeing us in the future together.Before our affair, he was the most disgusting man whore, as he was so used to sticking his dick into any hole visible.But after I came in and our exciting love affair began, it all changed as he reduced the way he always got caught with a lady.Then the books, those things gave and made me hope that the future was bright and had me feeling like a Luna.My baby was a living proof to show it, but I just couldn't do it, that sinking feeling hang over my brooding face like an annoying cloud.That sinking feeling that something was wrong somewhere couldn't be erased, no matter how hard I tried.It even seems like the more I tried using ways to erase and hope for the best, the more scared I got.Maybe Scott had planned something up his sleeves for me, I thought as I looked out the window.It was too early to be this worried and scared of the day, I had barely slept at night as my heart kept on thumping in fear.I should be in bed sleeping because tomorrow was coming with plenty of work loads too, being a slave despite being the future Alphas Mistress was hard.After my work on his bed at night, I would still have to clean up in the morning.Every time I shut my eyes to sleep, a very unpleasant picture kept on flashing in my head.The royal guards barging my room and dragging me out like I had stolen the Alphas treasure.Or Scott turning his back on me as I had done something formidable as per the pack rules.Truth was my pregnancy report was gone and in a park like Blue Moon.If words were to go out that I was a pregnant, then I would be left alone.Although there was no rule that opposed having sex or getting pregnant but judging by the way, Scott was being secretive every time, it gave me a clue that our affair was a get caught and die affair.Alpha Scott would be so happy and all I needed was a little time before the reveal, maybe before his inauguration as Alpha or after he picks me as Luna.I was carrying the first Royal child of Scott's rule, there was certainly no way that he'd throw me out or deny the baby…our baby.Just that thought alone rose my fallen spirit, I shivered as memories flooded my mind.Memories of last night, his hands trailing over my body while I moaned out his name a thousand times as my hands got busy marking his back with my nails.Slowly I closed my eyes and for the first time since yesterday escapade I slept off without my fear holding me captive.“Take that bitch out!” I heard someone shout, making my heart skip in fear.Was this another type of dream or what?I shut my eyes in hopes that, what I had heard right now, definitely wasn't for me.I prayed deep down that I wasn't the one, I wasn't the bitch they were referring to, even if it was in my dreams.The door being banged open made me open them in fear, only to meet the furious eyes of the guards.They all rushed in as though they owned it, making my heart skip as we stared at each other.I was still in my sleeping wear and the duvet was still wrapped around my slender body.“What the hell is happening there?” I heard the Gamma shout before barging in too.“Seems like she isn't yet dressed” he said looking at me scorning, making my heart tremble in fear.Although I wondered why they brought in so many guards when I didn't even steal.I was unaware of what they wanted, but I tried my possible best to remain calm and not to act in a way that I would regret late on.He picked up an overall from my wardrobe and threw at me.Immediately I slipped it on, the guards held me and just then the real panic slipped in, making me scared this time around.“What's happening?” I asked them as I was led to where I wasn't aware of.They kept mute and walked behind the Gamma with stone-cold looks on their faces.The moment we stepped out of the maid's quarters, another wave of panic filled me.I'm pretty confident that by now the whole pack could hear the beating of my heart against my chest.Whispers began to fly, and it happened every time I had just passed a group of people.Could it be that they already knew of my status now, my status as Scott's lover because if they did, then I was as good as dead?Scott already informed me of my fate if by chance I was caught with him.Or maybe my baby!“You are seemingly fully aware of your deed judging by the melody of your heartbeat” the Gamma taunted, making those stone-cold guards burst into laughter.I still wasn't getting it at all, what deed were they referring to or talking about?We finally got to the Alpha's office and as soon as I entered the head of my quarters immediately started groping me on my breasts, and then she checked my eyes.I frowned and was about to say something when she touched my stomach waiting for that gurgling noise, her eye met with mine.Time froze as I finally understood, they knew, and that explained the taunts and my whispers.They knew.“So, what's the status?”. I heard the head Epsilon ask, making me gulp.I never knew one bit that the gathering in the room was that big, immediately my eyes were locked in with Scott, and he looked away.What was happening here?I was confused, scared and lost.Was being pregnant by any chance a sin here, or slaves aren't allowed to be one?Despite not knowing what was happening, I prayed deep down that she wouldn't say yes, even though I knew that it would only happen if pigs could fly.The woman took one last look and me before nodding.The whispers in the room increased and immediately, the guards push me making me land on my knees.I didn't even have time to recover from it when a sword was held near my chest.No one needed to tell me now that I was in trouble, as they would talk but still turn to give me that look.The worst thing here was never for once, did I see Scott look in my direction.It was then it hit me that Scott had warned about getting caught and me, being all alone to dance to the beats.A cough pulled me out of my thoughts and I heard someone ask, “Who is the father?”Love; it is a beautiful thing. Be it familial, platonic, or romantic. Love is all around us; we can't run away from it. It had been a long run for my mother, Uncle Tristan, and I. But we still stood strong through it, allowing love to lead the way all through. That's how it was supposed to be; no matter the case or whatever that happened. Everyone had some ups and downs sometimes, what really made you a strong person was the ability to pull through it, and if you're with someone else, be it just one, or multiple people, to pull them through it too. It wasn't determined on the amount of power you had, or how much money you had in your bank account like my late biological father, Uncle Scott had always believed; financial power had nothing on mental power, and unfortunately, he understood that late, which brought about his ultimate downfall. By mental power, I do not mean the ability to manipulate, manipulation will genuinely take you absolutely nowhere. Unfortunately, my late step mot
(TRISTAN'S P. O. V.)"What do you mean?" Aria asked, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. The old woman didn't say anything reply, and just smiled at us with twinkling eyes. We were both confused, but before we could even say anything, the old lady turned, and walked away steadily. Aria was the first to snap out of her daze, and immedietly moved to go after the old lady. I caught her arm, stopping her from moving any further, while she squirmed in my grip. "Let me go, I need to get answers!" She yelled at me, frustrated that I was restricting her.I continued holding her firmly. The woman wasn't one of us; she was a messenger to the goddess, probably one of the spirits of our ancestors. We do not question spirits; they only appear to deliver a message, and leave without any further details. No matter how much you pester them, that's if they aren't gone with the whispy wind in seconds like they never even existed, they will not give you any more information about what it is that they
"Okay. So, should we have it here?" I asked Tristan, who was staring at me like he could see through me. I didn't know if having the conversation in his room was the right decision. But, when he nodded his head, I also nodded my head, answering to that. We stood in front of each other, while looking elsewhere.Things had been so awkward between us, but this time, it was too awkward. I didn't know if it was because of the fact that he asked me to be his Luna and I didn't say anything about it. I didn't know why, but I didn't like it at all.It was too overwhelming and I just wanted it to end. I didn't know if he wanted to start the conversation, but I just kept quiet, while waiting for him to speak first."Um, Aria..." He started speaking, but he stopped and looked away, when I raised my head to look at him. He looked so shy and that was a bit amusing to me, because I don't think that I've ever seen Tristan acting that shy before. It was so amusing to watch, and even though I didn't wa
The former people of Aria's pack welcomed her with mixed feelings, they had all heard the news and some of them felt angry that Scott was dead.That surprised me a bit, because I didn't know that there were still some that loved Scott to that extent. They soon started blaming her for Scott's death and making everything worse.When I saw Aria's face, I was a bit heartbroken, because she looked really sad. I wanted to defend her, and to tell them that she had no fault in everything. But, when they started shouting that they wanted to hear the story from the horse's mouth, she had no choice but to explain what really happened.She told them that most of the bad things that happened, did happen because of Crystal's influence. She only married Scott to take over the throne. That had been something that she's always wanted, and even though she always made it clear, no one still saw through her bad ways. That was how much she actually managed to manipulate them really well.Nobody noticed,
(TRISTAN'S P. O. V.)".... I'm coming with you. We're, coming with you. I can't stay here, all I have is painful memories, when it comes to this pack. And now that I know my true roots, true heritage, I need some time and space, far away from here to process it. I had been lied to, all my life. I need to perhaps read about my ancestors, a little bit about my history before coming back. Nothing is here for me anymore, I don't have family here, neither do I have friends. There's nothing stopping me from coming with you." She said, her voice solemn, yet firm. My heart skipped a beat as she said that she would follow me back home. I was beyond happy, and I could hear my wolf purr and howl in pleasure. She was coming home with me, and that's all that mattered. A sudden urge to pull her in, and kiss her so deeply overwhelmed me. I wanted to act on it so badly, yet I had to remember that she had to give me the green lights first. Suddenly, she closed the gap between us, and hugged me, wrappi
Aria's POVWhile I was walking to his room, my heart was just beating fast, because I didn't know the right words to tell him. I just finished speaking with him two hours ago, but it still felt like I hadn't spoken to him in years.We've been talking about... getting together, but I don't think it has ever been this serious. I didn't know what he was going to say about it, if he was going to reject me or not. So many thoughts were just running through my mind.Before getting to his room, I took a deep breath in and released it immediately. I wanted to balance my breathing first before going in to say rubbish to him. I wanted to be calm first, so I'd be calm enough to speak to him.By the time I got to his door, I was already better, and I could speak without stuttering like a fool. I stood in front of his door, contemplating on what to do - if I should just go in and say my thoughts, or if I should go back to my room and regret why I never said anything to him. The former sounded bett
Aria's POV I didn't know what Tristan was thinking about...or what he might be thinking about. As we walked back to the house, I couldn't stop staring at his face and trying to figure out what he was thinking. His face was fixed on the empty, dark space in front of us, without saying anything to either of us - Carl or me.There were so many things to talk about, but he still wasn't saying anything. At first, I thought that we were going to rejoice about our newly found victory, but it seemed that wouldn't be possible with the way he was staring straight ahead without uttering a word.When we got to the house, I told Carl to go inside because I wanted to talk to Tristan about some things. When I was sure that Carl was gone, I crossed my hands and stood right in front of Tristan.For the first time that night, he brought down his head and stared into my eyes. I slowly shook my head at him, and I started seeing a smile creeping to his lips. I was a bit happy that I made him smile at leas
(TRISTAN'S P. O. V.)"Ar- I mean, your Majesty, we are sorry. Please find it in your heart to forgive us. I know it'll take a long while before you forget about everything, no one can forgive the injustice of one to another. All I ask from you, dear Luna, is that you may forgive us. People make mistakes, what is divine is the ability to forgive." Said the elder, calmly yet apologetically.The others nodded in agreement, confirming the statement and apology of the elder that had come forth to seek for her forgiveness. It was shown in their eyes, that they were clearly remorseful of the actions that they took all those years ago, and the allegations that they made against the both of us, knowing fully well, that the all the evidence they needed was right before their eyes, and were very clear. Aria turned her face away, avoiding their eyes and faces. Her Expression a mask of a stoney resolve, and her eyes the epitome of indecipherability. It was as clear as day, that she wasn't willing
(TRISTAN'S P.O.V.)Slowly, yet steadily, the tense expression on the faces of most of the elders, releases step by step. I feel fulfilled and elated, about the fact that they believed me and trusted me enough not to chain me down without listening to what I had to say. But then again, about two had contrasting expressions; they wore scowles, with a look of pure disbelief and despise in their eyes. "You are a bloody liar, and all of you are complete idiots for believing what this enemy of progress is spilling out. How could you trust our mortal enemy, the same person who had been plotting for years for ways to bring us down? Are you that fooled by illusion? Okay, assuming that they did torture Aria and Scott, then why didn't Aria get killed in the process too? This is all a plot, how could a woman as frail and defenseless as her survive all that they say she went through? She would have probably given up the ghost the moment the blade touched her! You are fools, all of you for decievi
