Chapter Thirty-oneAria's POVI woke up to the sun shining brightly in my eyes. "Ouch," I yelled, closing my eyes tightly and turning my face away from it."Where am I?" I whispered, forgetting the ordeal of the previous night when the pains that radiated through me brought me back to reality.I looked around me as I gulped nothing, I felt sore and my mouth was bitter.I felt the urge to puck and it was blood.These people were serious. Are they going to kill me? I thought, fear gripping me tightly. So this is how my life ends?I couldn't rely on Orion to come to find me because he was only concerned about himself and since they have found a way to harm me without it affecting him, then I'm more or less a goner.I looked around the empty room, contemplating the words of the Lycan leader from earlier. I shuddered, wondering what he meant by calling me Phila. Was he trying to make me believe I was Phila so I could provoke Orion or what?The room was empty, and I was desperately thirst
Chapter Thirty-twoAria's Pov"What was that for?" I asked in shock."That's for calling me a pervert." He replied as I shot him a stare, pulling myself from him, I noticed he was also uncomfortable."Why did you leave the house when I ordered you not to?" He suddenly asked as I gulped nothing staring at my feet."Why?" He asked again with impatience in his voice."Miss Glamour, she told me to…." I tried saying as he cut me short."Between I and Glamour, who are you supposed to listen to?" He probed as I bent my head."Answer me!" He yelled, running his hands through his hair as I avoided his eyes. "You, it's you Alpha." I whispered with fear."So why did you listen to her?" He asked, but I didn't know what to say, as I kept mute, while he ranted.Why does he care?"You know what I hate?" He asked, walking towards me as I shook my head."Dull people, I detest people who are dull and don't expect that from my women." He said as I shot him a glare."Don't act surprised, you are mine, an

She yelled coming to me.",What are you doing here, dressed like the bride?" She asked."And why are you putting on white? Don't you know the dress code? No white." She yelled in anger."And who invited you? Where's my Orion?" She asked in anger as she raised her hand to slap me, but Orion immediately came between us."Why don't you like white? Is it because it was the dress Phila wore on the day she was murdered?" He whispered to her as her eyes shone."How did you know?""Oh, did you think I won't know what happened to my mate?" He whispered again as she shifted back in shock, but when she noticed the guest'ls staring at her, she immediately flashed a smile, giving a small laugh "Oh baby, you're finally here." She said, going to give him a hug as he stopped her."What are you doing here?" He
Aria's Pov "Pick on your own size." Orion said giving Ethan a hard punch as I crawled to Andrew who lay weakly on the ground."Open your eyes." I said to them as Orion and Colton kept exchanging blows with them."ARE YOU okay?" I cried as he laid weakly."Your father would kneel first before I release you." Orion spat in anger as I shuddered at the sight before me, the bodies were littered all over the floor as I shifted in fear."Come with me." Orion said as he dragged the weak Ethan into the car."And you." He suddenly said, his eyes taking another colour as I shivered in fear."No, not now, they shouldn't fight." I whimpered as I stared at them in fear."How dare you?" Orion breathed in fear as I whimpered going backwards."Colton, no." I said as he also marched towards Orion."Colton you're at fault, just go, just leave." I said in fear."A murderer will never accey that he's a murderer."

Aria's POV"Just Orion? Who are you?" Glamour inquired with anger evident on her face."Is there a need for an introduction? They already know who I am.""Hi Mina, hi Megan," she called, breathing in the air."What's up, and how are you two doing? It's been a terrible while," she said with a small laugh "What are you doing here, Jane?" Mina asked with a huge frown on her face."I'm here for my baby's father. She needs her dad, you know.""How dare you show your face here after the agreement?" Megan asked."Well, agreement or no agreement, I'm here now, and you can't do anything about it.""You have a grandchild now.""Hello, Grandma, I've heard a lot about you," the little girl said, greeting Mina."You take this thing away from here before I do something nasty to her," Mina ordered, sending chills down my spine."This is your blood we're talking about," I whispered, disgusted by her outburst to the little girl.

Aria's Pov "Oh no," I whimpered in fear as he marched towards me, who would be calling me at this critical moment."Give it to me," he said, stretching out his hands as I recoiled in fear.I had hoped to call Clayton for help, but what do I do now?"Please, I'm sorry," I begged as he just stared at me with a straight face."You should be grateful for the bond we share and that I am giving you a house arrest. We both know what you deserve," he spat."Believe me, it wasn't intentional," I pleaded, trying to make him see reason with me."You tried to kill my workers and me, and you want me to believe that it wasn't intentional?""Can you hear yourself?""Who are you?" he suddenly asked, as if something has just clicked in his memory."Are you trying to bring me down? Let me tell you, it won't work because I'm immortal," he said in anger."I will never try to kill you, my Alpha. It was just a gesture of appreciation," I pleaded."You mean trying to poison me is a gesture of appreciation?
Orion's PovMy hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove back to the hotel, fear coursing through my veins and my heart pounding in my chest.The weight of responsibility pressed down on me. Thoughts raced through my mind. "What trouble has she gotten herself into?" I wondered, speeding towards the hotel.I had to leave a meeting to come back here when it wasn't even 1 pm."Cursed lunar tether," I muttered under my breath, frustration evident in my voice. "Why did she have to let me mark her? Now I'm bound to protect her, whether I like it or not."I couldn't face her. It wasn't part of the agreement. A night of passion had led to her begging me to mark her."Jeez, Lion, this is all your fault," I spat at my wolf who remained quiet, feeling guilty for what he had done.I could feel her fear. Something was wrong. The lunar tether tend to make me feel and sense her fear, and if she was in danger, I would lose my powers and worse, my life. She was more or less me.We were no
