ARIA POV I was mulling over a bath and thinking about how everything had changed.Here I was still trying to adjust to everything, my son made her feel loved. He had told me how he sat by her bed every time when I was still in coma.It felt so sweet hearing him say it, the day to day he spent by bedside. In the endless night, he whispered prayers to the moon goddess.He told me about everything he went through each day. I padded out of the bathroom, leaving a pool of water by my feet where I stood. As I tried on the cloth Tristan had bought as a gift, I turned in front of the mirror at the look befitting of a queen. It was funny that in a way he had gotten my size just right. The room door rattled under a familiar knock. “Come in.” I said as I styled my hair, I turned round to find my Son who had a look of surprise on the face.“It looks good, right?” I said as turned round again.“You look different, you look beautiful.”“Well, that is a nice thing to say to a lady.”I patted his
ARIA'S POVTruthfully, the last few days of my life had been the most fun I would have to admit to myself if not everyone else. Despite that, the best moments of my days were the ones I spent in my son.We took long walks down the Alley and out into open streets, with him waving at passerby, who smiled back at him. I noticed treated him with respect, even at that young age, he walked in the way someone born to be an Alpha would.He carried him self attractively with little hints of pride, but in overalls he was a very likeable child.Today we had started our long walk just before afterglow, we had walked around the oaks trees that marked where Tristan transition every full moon.My boy told me he had watched him transitioned a few times while peeking out of the window.He asked me how it felt, and I explained to him in details, knowing full well he won't be getting his wolf until a couple of years.“What is a lycan, mom?” he suddenly asked.He appeared to be in his inquisitive best t
**ARIA'S POV**“So that's what have been going on?” I asked Tristan.We were both sitting outside the villa, having a conversation. Tristan is filling me in on what's been going on with the Blue moon pack over the last ten years, and I couldn't be more pleased to hear about the difficulties they've been experiencing.Every challenge they're going through presently is something they deserve.“You know, Crystal is yet to give Scott an heir,”“What!!” I blurted out.Tristan nodded. “You heard me right, rumors has it that she's barren,” Tristan scoffed.“Wow,” I muttered.It's been ten years and still, the woman Scott left me for is yet to give him a child.I don't know whether I should be happy to hear this or not. But deep down, this is giving me so much joy, after what they did to me, they don't deserve to have a child too, I don't give a damn if I sound so bitter, cruel and evil at the moment. I don't care.They had tried to kill me and my child. I'm not surprised the goddess didn't b
**ARIA'S POV**I woke up screaming, cold, breathless and chilled with sweat. My hand fumbled for the bedside lamp and I switched it on.Tristan and Carl came rushing into my room.“What's it? What happened?” Tristan asked as he came to sit beside me, alongside Carl.I bit my bottom lip nervously, I felt bad that I had woken them up with my scream.“What's wrong mom?” Carl asked worriedly.“It's nothing, I just had a nightmare, I'm sorry I woke you guys up, but I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about,” I said.Carl looked at me worriedly, but Tristan had a knowing look in his eyes.I pulled Carl to me and I kissed his forehead.“I'm sorry I woke you up, you can go to your room now, I'm fine,”“Really?” He asked and I nodded.“Okay mom,” Carl kissed my cheek before leaving.“You should leave too Tristan, I'm fine,”“Was it about him?” Tristan asked.I knew he was referring to Scott, I swallowed the lump in my throat and I nodded.Tristan heaved a deep breath.“I'm sorry,” He said, then
Tristan's POVThose were the two conclusions I’d come to the moment Aria took off her wet cloth when she draped herself again into the pool; it came with an irritating sense of acquiescence that she was a gorgeous woman, and she was incredibly sexy.It had been very busy over the couple of days, but I couldn't be more distracted by her presence. She was everywhere, everywhere at the house, everywhere out of it and everywhere in my mind.It was effortless because she had been avoiding me over a couple of days for something I am not apparent about.Yet, I could only focus on one goddamnthing despite how busy I had been with the pack business over the couple of days, and of course, it was her, Aria.God-damn.Molded bit by bit crafted into perfection, a mind-blowing perfection, and I was lucky to have her at least at my corner.Something kept ringing in my ears to speak to her but looking around and seeing Carl in the pool splashing around and laughing, I don't seem it fit as the right
ARIA'S P.O.VI wrapped my hands around his neck while taking in deep breaths. He smelt like the rainforest. Wild yet pleasant and soothing. I looked up to his eyes and the kindest orbs I've seen stared down at me. I wanted to appreciate him for the millionth time for all he had done for me and my son in all my years of unconsciousness, but a lump successfully blocked my words.Likewise, I don't know if I was imagining things when I felt him lean forward, but I swallowed. Likewise, I shouldn't do this, I cautioned myself, but my body had to be dead to not respond to this hard male body pressed against mine. His hands wrapped around my waist in a firmer grip and yes, he leaned forward.“No. Please.” I stepped back, and the door flung open. Carl was standing there staring at us wide-eyed.I arranged my hair nervously. I couldn't tell how long he had been standing there, but I was sure he must have heard my heart pounding against my ribs. There was also a chance he watched us. Camellia
**ARIA'S POV**I was on my way home, and I had a lot going on in my head right now.Growing up as a child, I was made to believe that other packs were bad, they were the enemies, cruel and wicked, I've heard so many terrible things about other packs, including the mystic shadow pack which belongs to Tristan.But now, I can help but rethink everything, the people here are so nice to me, and I've noticed that none of those stories were true, everything my pack said about them wasn't true, they painted other packs black to make them look like the good guys. But in reality, they were worse, much worse than she could ever imagine and this fact disgust me so much.Everything is crystal clear to me now, and I feel even more annoyed to be a member of that pack, I feel so angry that I was born and brought up in a pack like that.The rumors I've heard about Tristan aren't true either, how could anyone paint such a loving man into a devil? It saddens my heart that they're still many more people
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
