Aria's POV "Why aren't you saying anything?" He asked seeing how I wasn't saying a thing. I stared at him unable to give him an answer. This is what I've always wanted as I stayed in that pack, to be back in the place with more humans and less of my kind. Now that I'm here, why do I feel sad that he's abandoning me. This was bound to happen anyways. It's not as if I wasn't expecting this but I don't understand how I feel now. Why do I feel so sad knowing that he's leaving me all alone here? If that's the case, I don't think I need to get anything from him. I've always gotten help from him but I don't think I have done much than save his life. Our debts to each other have being paid and I still have enough to get a small place to stay and also find a job as a doctor. I'm not going to take all of this from him. If we're going to be detached from each other, we might as well fully do it or nothing at all. I should tell him the truth that I'm going to reject this—"What exactly is go
Aria's POV "You're going to start a pack war? What is going on with you? When has violence ever solved anything than bring more trouble to everyone?" I fired at him. I completely forgot about the conversation we had earlier, and the only thing I could think about was the pack war. If they brought me back here so that they could go to war with other packs, then it only means that they are either looking down on me or just trying to protect me.How can I even be at ease when this is going to begin because of me? Should I say thank you to them and be happy because they are fighting other people and losing their chances of having allies because of me?"I never said we were going to war. It's just because of the situation that is going on now and not because of you. Did you forget what happened the last time? You're not the only one getting attacked by those enemy warriors. We still don't know who they are and where they come from, but we know that by the time we find out, we would have
Xeros's POV Teasing her is just fun sometimes but what's more fun is the fact that she's so beautiful tonight. I couldn't believe it was her when she came down. She didn't put in much effort to be seen but I could see that she tried her best to look beautiful tonight. Yet, she keeps rejecting my advances to be with her. "W-what are you talking about?" I could see her cheeks turning red as she asked this. Of course what I said might sound vulgar to her but she's supposed to be mine and I don't see anything wrong with flirting with her. "I said... We are mating tonight and you should prepare yourself for it because you're making it so hard for me to concentrate in that dress. Did you choose this dress specifically because you wanted me to see you in it?" I questioned her. She scoffed, trying to push me away but of course I didn't let go of her. I would be an idiot if I did. Looking at her gets me and my wolf excited. It's hard not to be that way when she's right in front of us like
Alexander's POV Getting Aria out of the way seemed to do a lot of help for us because if she were here, we would be worried about protecting her all the time. It’s not my fault that I think that way, but sometimes she is just too weak to handle. I don’t really have anything against her, and I don’t know if apologizing to her would be the best. Since she is trying to break our bond, it’s not exactly my fault that I have a bias against her. We’ve been betrayed way too much, and I can’t stand another person who seems to be a threat now coming between us again. The fact that my brother seems to believe her right from the beginning says a lot about his way of trusting people.“Are you finally regretting that you agreed to let our brother take her away, and now you don’t think it’s good enough?” Carlo asked, breaking into my room without knocking.“I was actually thinking it’s a good thing that he has taken her away. That way, we will have no one in our way and won’t have to worry about pr
Aria's POV I blinked rapidly at his request again. Isn't that a sugar-coated way of saying he wants my body? Why does he say it like that when he could have literally just asked me directly and—Wait a damn minute! Since when is he allowed to ask me that and why am I even planning on giving him an opportunity to do that when it's clearly not what I'm planning for. We haven't even decided that we're going to be mates yet because they haven't accepted me and I've not accepted them either. Why is he suddenly making the decisions to take things so fast than I can actually think of. "What do you think about my suggestion darling?" He whispered the question in my ears, sending shivers down my spine. I thought I was dreaming for a moment but I felt my lower body react to his touch. I've never even had sex with any man before and my body is reacting like this? What is wrong with me? Shouldn't I have some sort of self discipline or something? Why is my spasm going crazy? I looked at him a
Aria's POV A kiss when he was supposed to have an emergency wasn't something I was expecting at all. I thought he was done when he pulled away from me but I was wrong. He pulled me and gave me another kiss again before reluctantly letting go. This made me question if things were okay with him or not. He just got an emergency from home which I haven't even had the opportunity to ask him about and now he's kissing me instead of going to address this. That's a bit crazy and weird. He smiled, "I know you're thinking I'm crazy, but there's nothing to be worried about. I'm not. This is just a goodbye kiss for now."I looked at him in shock, he even knows what I'm thinking about but that's not the main issue here. The main issue is the fact that there's an emergency and I feel like he's trying to hide this away from me and stop me from knowing what is going on. "What happened? Are you going back to the pack? What does a goodbye kiss mean? You're going to leave me here?" I asked all at t
Xeros's POV "What do you mean she's gone?" I couldn't believe what I was listening to on my phone. I only got back not too long ago and I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with my brother's and now I'm getting news that Aria is nowhere to be found? How could she began when the place is heavily guarded and is supposed to be a strong source of protection for her. There is no way anyone would easily go into that place to hurt her and no one actually knows we have a property like that, so what is going on?"We don't know what is happening Alpha. We tried to check the security footage but we can't see things clearly. However is it show that she sneaked out by herself." The head of security explained. "You're not explaining things clearly! You all are useless and you better find her in the next few hours or I'm going to have your heads!" I threatened and cut off the call. How is it even possible that she sneak out by herself? I clearly told her to wait for me there and she
Aria's POV “Aria! Is that really you?” I heard the familiar voice ask me. I’m shocked to see that the Alphas could find me so fast before I could even get to them. How did they manage to find me easily when I’ve been hiding myself from them so I can sneak into the pack? This is so overwhelming and I don’t want to think too much about it. They moved closer towards me and they looked like they were also worried about me. In fact, I’m kinda confused about this situation because aren’t they supposed to let me suffer so I can learn a lesson? I’ve been walking around the woods in fear even though I’ve been consoling myself that I would get there soon and I didn’t have to worry about whatever was going to happen. But I was more worried that I could get caught by Lucas and his evil men before I got there. I don’t mind being captured by people who don’t know who I am. I’d rather die than go back there to be their hunting game. I thought it was them coming towards me since I was around thei
Aria's POV I was relieved that I had convinced the brothers to let me be part of their investigation. It wasn’t easy, but I refused to back down. This wasn’t just about proving myself—it was personal. Too many things weren’t adding up, and I couldn’t ignore the signs anymore. The way the attacks were happening, the timing of everything, it all pointed to something deeper. I had a strong feeling my twin sister, Sage, had something to do with this. It wouldn’t be the first time she tried to destroy me, and I doubted it would be the last.Then there was Edgar. The mere thought of his name sent chills down my spine. He had vanished after his escape, but a man like him didn’t just disappear without a reason. Could he be behind all this? If he was, I needed to find out before it was too late.Shaking my thoughts away, I decided to go back to work at the hospital. I needed something to keep me busy while we figured this all out. Besides, working as a doctor had always given me a sense of pu
Xeros's POVI couldn't stop thinking about what happened between Aria and Lucas yesterday. It was as if she became a different person when she confronted him. Lots of people have been so mean to her and not giving her an opportunity to say the truth about what is going on.My brother's also have been avoiding her since yesterday as if they don't even want her to scold them at all. This is an unexpected changing her in just a few days that I didn't expect but I'm glad she's finally becoming strong and protecting herself. “Who would have thought that she actually was wronged after all? I can't believe that bastard got the opportunity to be her first mate.” Carlo complained as he came into the room. Alexander followed him with a frown. “I don't know if the moon goddess is trying to play twigs on us by making us share our mate with that idiot. But it's a good thing he rejected her.”I nodded, “He rejected someone as good as her and he thinks she's going to come back to lick his feet? I
Aria's POV Did I just hear the voice of my wolf or was that my subconscious mind congratulating me and I thought it was my wolf? Maybe I should stop thinking too much and try communicating with her. “Is that actually you?” I tried to talk to her from inside but I couldn't hear anything. Maybe I was hallucinating and I'm the one congratulating myself for finally breaking free from the chains of victimizing myself. Everyone looked at me like I was weird. "Are you really insulting me like that?" I finally heard the voice of the bastard who made an entrance like he was the main character. This is the future leader of the pack? I feel sorry for all the people whose lives are about to be ruined by him. Someone like him deserves to be their Alpha? I seriously don't get what people want in their leaders anymore. "Making an entrance like the idiot that you are." I replied him and he got shocked.Alexander and his brothers laughed at what I said but quickly stopped when I looked at them.
