ARIA'S P.O.VI took a long sip of the tongue stinging coffee I had prepared.The rays from the sun seeped through the window and caressed my arms. It was going to be another boring day as usual.Sitting around looking pretty, trying to read, listening to Carl rant about anything, and helping Camellia around the house.This wasn't the life I wanted. I had unfinished business at the Blue Moon Pack, and ever since I regained consciousness not much has been said about it.I knew it was risky for me to go back there alone, but I didn't mind risking it. It hurt me to know Scott was still existing somewhere.“Tristan wishes to see you.” A feminine voice reached me from outside the kitchen.“Tell him I'll join him shortly.” I gulped down the rest of the tea and winced as the painful sweet sensation hit my tongue.“You called me.” I carefully shut the heavy oak doors as I gained entrance into his training room. The place was so quiet.“Sit down.” He crouched to the floor.“No, thank you.” I lo
TRISTAN'S P.O.VI whirled around with my sword countless times. The continuous clash of metal filled the silent room.I ran the sword through the wall and stopped to catch my breath.I didn't know how to feel now Aria had accepted the proposal. This was clearly against her will, but it was the only way I knew I could help her kill Scott with her hands.It wasn't how I had planned to make her mine, but these things happen.Aria was very unpredictable. I knew Camellia had put in a word or two to make her agree, but she could find out some other way on her own and leave with Carl. I didn't want that to happen. My heart wasn't at rest. Maybe speaking with Camellia would help. I could hear her hum her favorite song while I tapped on the door. “Who is there?” Her voice alone was as comforting as a hug. “It's unlocked.”I pulled the knob down and gained access into the room. She sat with quilt and pins and a beautiful pattern was playing out before her. “Tristan.” She got on her feet. “Wh
**ARIA'S POV**I just hope Tristan has no feelings for me, the thought of getting married to him didn't sit well with me.“I'll explain my reason more clearly to you, Aria,” Tristan said.I swallowed nothing, then I nodded, giving him the signal to go on.“If we get married, that'll automatically make you the Luna of the pack, and you'll be given all the protection you'll need, it'll also help to match the strong army of the blue moon pack,”I thought about Tristan's words, and now I'm beginning to see the reason and understand it. Tristan is right about this, I'll definitely need all the support I can get, if a war is bound to take place, then I'll definitely need a strong army by my side.“I have a large interest in taking over Scott's pack and bringing him down,” Tristan added, I could not the hate and bitterness in his voice.But this is still confusing, I'm literally not aware of any ill feelings between them.“What do you mean, Tristan? I'm getting confused now,”“The way Scott
**ARIA'S POV**I hurriedly went to grab our things from the table, then I went back to Tristan, I took his hand and pulled him out of the restaurant.We got to where the car was parked, and I let go of his hand.“What do you think you're doing, Tristan?”“You got into a fight!”“And so what, huh? So, what if I got into a fight? You should have let me teach him a lesson, you shouldn't have interfered!” Tristan retorted angrily.I looked at him for some time, I didn't even say anything, I somehow find him funny right now, and it made me burst into laughter.Tristan looked at me in disbelief.“Are you okay?”He touched my forehead to feel my temperature, but I slapped his hand off.“What's funny? Why are you laughing?”“You're funny, Tristan, a ruthless Alpha got into a fight with a mere human! Jazz, well, I find it funny,” I laughed.“I wasn't expecting you to do that because of me,”Tristan sighed.“Why shouldn't I, I don't know what he thought of you to do such a thing, he was lucky I
TRISTAN'S POVDarkness covered the room like a canvas of black paint, I opened the window blinds letting the rays of the moonlight into the room, lighting it up a bit.A feeling of anxiety roamed the crooks and nannies of my mind, nibbling at it deeply, until I had a feeling nothing was left but fragments.I had tried many ways to get the thought of her out of my mind but just couldn't as it was preoccupied by the thoughts of the discussion I had with Aria earlier on. I paced the length of the room, my heart heaving lightly as I kept glancing at the watch on my wrist. It did occur to me that the decision doesn't necessarily have to be that day, but as you could guess my heart had more control over my mind. What heart wouldn't when a woman like Aria was involved.Still filled with anxiety, I walked toward the mahogany table that held a vintage scotch in one of its lockers.I rarely drink, but when I did, I did it in a grand way. Rich, well-brewed and smooth. I opened the case that he
ARIA'S POVMoon rays filtered into the room through the blinds that did their best to shut most part of the lights out.It settled on his gaze that was fixed to my heavy eyes. Sometimes I wonder why he was always at my rescue and now I knew it…I could see it in his eyes. He had deep feelings for me.I blinked .Swallowed. Made a little noise to hide my breathlessness as he walked close to where I was .It was a mere touch from his fingers yet it sparked fire inside of me, a fire that even Scott had never thought of starting.Sometimes I imagine in my head he knew what his touch did to me, but he did it anyway because he wanted to.It was just a means of telling me he could set my soul on fire and watch it burn down in flaming passion.Either way that’s just what he knew it to mean, not necessarily what I believed, right? Still, I couldn’t help the strong weight from forming between my mind and heart. The two appeared to have two different views of things. This attraction burned, a
**ARIA'S POV**“Aria! Aria!” I heard Tristan yell from outside.I was still on bed sleeping soundly, and I didn't even feel like getting up, I'm simply tired of everything and Tristan is pushing me too hard, everything is getting tiring, I don't even think I can continue with this training.“Aria!” Tristan called even louder, but I ignored him, I'm not getting out of this bed, I would rather not train today.“Let me be Tristan! Just go away, I want to avoid training today, and you're not going to make me!” I yelled.I turned on my bed and I used the pillow to block my ears.Soon, the door to my room was forcefully pushed opened and Tristan barged in.He walked to where I laid on the bed and forcefully pulled me up and made me get out of bed.“What are you doing!” I yelled in anger as I jerked my hand away from his.“Didn't you hear me, Tristan? I said I don't want to train, so don't even dare force me!” I said, breathing heavily.I was glaring dangerously at him, all the frustrations
**ARIA'S POV**I and Tristan both stood up from the floor, and I crouched down to Carl's level.“What do you mean, Carl? I don't understand,”“I said there's a girl I like mom, right here in our pack, she's so beautiful mom and I like her a lot,” Carl replied, laying emphasis on the word 'a lot'“She's a good friend mom and I trust her a lot, I trust her so much,”“Enough!” I snapped, startling both Carl and Tristan.“You're still so little, and you're here talking about this!”“ Mom,” Carl called in surprise.I could see his bottom lip trembling already, and the tears were already gathering in his eyes. I've never scolded him like this before and I know he was hurt, but I still need to warm him and make him see things.“You can't be talking about trust Carl, you shouldn't trust anyone else apart from I, Tristan and yourself, do you understand!” I said sternly.“You're young, and you know nothing, so just listen to me and forget all this, do you hear me?”Carl pushed my hands away, an
