CHAPTER: EIGHT

ARYA'S POV

I took the job because I needed it and because the pay was good, no lie; I had to help my father, but when I met with Emily the following day, I was shocked to learn that Leo knew about it and that he was mad. The question is, why was he mad at me for taking the job?

I wanted to call him, but I was skeptical about it. What if I gave him a bad impression of me? So, I focused on reading for my final exams and waiting for him to call. I hadn’t heard from him for two days, and it kind of felt weird that I hadn’t. I was highly hoping he would call after the moment we shared, the gift, and everything that happened since my birthday.

“Are you okay, honey?” My father asked that evening as we watched TV together.

“Yes, I am a good dad; why would you think otherwise?” I asked obliviously.

“I don’t know, the look on your face and that frown say it all; you know you can always talk to me about anything, you know that, right?”

"Yes, Dad, except I am good; I am just exhaust

    CHAPTER: NINEARYA WAYNE“Are you okay?” His voice rang in my head. I was lost in my world until he touched me.“Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am totally fine; I just zoned out,” I said this while trying to hide my discomfort.“Okay, I am sorry; I got a visitor. I would like you to meet him. I hope you don’t mind?” He asked, and since I was not yet ready to meet him, I didn’t want to make Leo suspicious of anything.“Of course, I don’t mind at all; I didn’t know you had friends.”“No, I don’t have a lot of friends, but I have a friend; he is downstairs; you will just say hi to him and then go to sleep; I know it is too late right now.” He said as I followed him downstairs.“Dylan, this is Arya. I know you two have never met, but this is an opportunity for you two. Arya, this is my best friend, Dylan. I know you haven’t seen him around, but he is from Alpha Kai’s pack." Leo said, and I almost chuckled.Dylan: "So his name is not Steve anymore; what else is he hiding?” I asked myself.“It is nice

    ALPHA LEOThe look on Arya’s face when she saw Dylan meant something; the two either knew each other or she knew him and was trying to hide that from me, except she forgot that I could also read her mind. I just wanted to hear it from Dylan; there is no way he could hide anything from me, so I waited until the next day so I could talk to him about it.I asked him to meet me at my office, and later that day I got a call from my PA: “Alpha Leo, Dylan is here to see you.”“Please let him through,” I said and hung up.“Hey man, I am here.”“Yes, I can see that. I wanted to talk to you. You and I both know why I want to meet you, right?” I asked as I looked up from my computer, and he exhaled sharply.“I don’t know what you are talking about; maybe you make me understand.” He claimed he was attempting to play hard on me.“You do know that I can read your mind right now, right?” I asked, and he stuttered.“I don’t know exactly what you are talking about... I don’t know man.” He said, and I s

    3RD PERSON’S POVThings went well between the two, and Arya was more than happy. She was over the moon, and even though she was trying to forgive her brother for hiding such information from her, Dylan gave her time to get over it. All he wanted was a relationship with his family, especially with his sister Arya.Elsewhere Kai was having a meeting with his parents, and his father had different thoughts about the whole dating thing, but his mother had a different opinion, always siding with Kai because she thought her son deserved the best.“Son, I am sorry, but I don’t think it is a good idea for you to force the girl to be yours; I don’t approve of that.” He said it in a firm tone, and Kai sighed then turned to look at his mother for comment. He might have had respect for his father, but he was a mama’s boy, and his mother was always supporting his decisions.“No, that is not a good idea. What is the point of my son waiting all these years for his mate, only for you to advise him to

    3RD PERSON’S POVEverything was going well for Arya; she forgot about the fight between Alpha Kai and Leo and focused on her end-of-semester exams, which she completed, and on running the job; she still had the card Leo gave him and was still contemplating using it or returning it to him.“I think we need to talk about your job, honey. I don’t like it when you work for Alpha Kai from the other pack and we were taken in by Leo’s family; it will cause wrangling between these two packs, and you know what will happen after that.” Alfred said to his daughter one week later, after she met with Dylan.“Dad, I can’t just quit, and he just gave me the job, plus I am helping you pay up the bills.”“And that is the main reason I want you to quit the job; I am not telling you to choose anyone’s side, but it is going to get both packs into one hell of a fight between these two packs.” He said he was trying to reason with her, and she shrugged before she spoke.“I am not trying to cause any fight be

    ALPHA LEO“You have a secret basement in this house, and I never got to know about it," Dylan asked as I opened the door to the basement.“That is why it is called a secret basement, Dylan; it is for a reason, and not just anyone is supposed to know,” I said as we walked to the room. I didn’t have anything to hide, but I did have a few guns that belonged to my late grandfather, who loved hunting.“Do you even know how to use that?” He asked as he pointed at the guns, and I chuckled.“I don’t have to know to own them but don’t worry, I fight and I don’t use guns; these were my grandfather’s; I am not here to use them, though; I just wanted to show you a plan I have; how long has it been since we last fought with your pack?” I asked just to be sure, and Dylan shook his head thoughtfully.“I don’t know… maybe three months…two… I don’t recall, what does that have to do with anything though?” He asked as he perused through the notebook.“It has everything to do with it; your sister is about

It was like a cycle that kept repeating itself, but I was determined to find my way out of it.“You feel the peace, right?” My father’s voice rang in my head, and I stopped to catch my breath. What was he even doing in the woods? I asked myself this question before I finally stopped in my tracks to focus on his voice.“Dad, is that you?” I asked in a low tone.“Yeah, of course, w

I was anxious about what was in store for me.“Guess who asked me out to dinner tonight?” I asked Emily who had stopped by to visit me; my father was not around as he had to attend to some business in town.“I can guess; you are charming, and there is no doubt you will have a long list of men who would want to take you out, so I won’t guess; just tell me.” She replied and continued typing on her phone.“Leo asked me out on a date,” I said with a sly smile.“Feels like you are already in love with that dude; he is good-looking and quite charming, but very secretive and always secluding himself, but I don’t mind trying him out; he might be your mate.” My wolf said excitedly, and I ignored her.“Wait, what?

    3RD PERSON'S POVWhen Arya got into the passenger’s seat, Leo was anxious to even take the seat beside her; she was looking more beautiful that night, and he couldn’t help but steal glances at her.“You look more beautiful tonight.” He commented as he drove across the street.“Thank you; you don’t look half bad yourself.” She replied with a smile tugging at her lips.Oh, are you just saying that to make me feel, okay?”“No, I don’t think that is what I am doing right now. I am just appreciating nature, and you happen to be part of it.” She said, and Leo smiled.“It is okay; I feel like I haven’t done this in a long time.”“Done what exactly?”“Taken anyone out on a date.” He spoke vaguely.“But you just broke up with Thea barely eight months ago; you guys didn’t go out on dates?”“No, that is not what I said. I mean, my relationship with Thea was complicated—not that complicated, but somehow complicated—and I don’t want to talk about it.”“You don’t have to tell me about what happened;

    When Arya got home that evening, she was busy with Rowena, she had started spending most of the time with her daughter ever since she lost her husband. “I didn’t think you would come so early today, how was work?” Sophia asked as soon as she walked into the house, she was carrying a bag in her other hand. “Yeah, I didn’t think I would come off early too but here I am, what have you got for us today, man I am starving and I didn’t want to bother the maids so?” she said as she walked up to her and took the bag from her. “I got your favourite, I figured out you don’t like cooking when you get back from work and all that, so I brought your favourite, how is she?” “She is okay, the flu is gone and I think she is okay, she is starting to get walk on her own and I can’t wait for her to grow up, she reminds me of Leo.” She said in a low tone and Sophia nodded, talking about her son was something she didn’t feel comfortable disusing especially after his death. “I know he is watching over h

Arya was in mourning for over one week and when they lay her husband to rest, she knew she had to partake in the duty of becoming the Alpha and continue serving her people just like Leo had always done before. “Things are not easy as they were, people have lost faith and they are still mourning their dead Alpha, I think we should give them time to recuperate and you know get back on their feet.” Beta Max reported to Arya week after the burial session was over. “No, I am the one grieving but I am here, can’t you see that, Max?” She shot back and Max sighed, he didn’t know what to say next so he just let her continue talking. “I know we are all grieving but I am here working for you guys, working for this pack because that is how much I love you guys, I lost a husband, the love of my life, the father to my baby, and my best friend but I am here at wor

    The following morning Arya woke up earlier than usual, she breastfed Rowena at around five in the morning and went back to sleep, she was feeling tired and since Leo was still sleeping soundly next to her, she didn’t want to wake him up, she just pulled the duvet covers over them and went back to sleep. She was woken up a few minutes later by a groaning Leo, he seemed like he was in pain, she was suddenly alarmed and got up to check on him. “Babe, are you sure you are, okay? What is going on?” She asked worriedly and Leo just shook his head and moved to the other side of the bed, he was struggling to breathe and was constantly stopping to catch his breath. “I don’t think I have much time left, I am…I am dying my love…and…I don’t know what to say to you… right now but…it…is…time.” He said as struggled to breathe and Arya’s heart skipped a beat, they had just shared a great moment the previous night and didn’t think it was the last time they spent the night together and now he was try

Katie met with Penelope during the same week, they had a lot to discuss concerning performing magic and other issues related to the coven.“You know when Miranda’s mom told me about the impossibility of bringing my mom back, I felt bad. I felt like maybe she just didn’t want to help perform the spell and all that, so, I decided to go behind her back and bring my mom back on my own and I almost fucked things up. My mom isn’t ready to come or she just doesn’t want to come.” Penelope said to Katie one evening as they were hanging out in a café just across the street.“I know how that feels and honestly if there was a way, I could bring back everyone I have lost in my life, I would have done so a long time ago but that is not how things work my dear.
