Chapter ElevenAria's PovI froze as the sound of gunshots echoed through the woods, the birds flying in fright.My heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead, muttering a silent prayer under my breath, I hoped that none of the brothers, especially Colton, was shot.I hesitated for a moment before opening my eyes, and to my dismay, it was exactly what I had been avoiding—the security team of the Crescent territory, the CFI."What's going on, Alphas?" a lady said, looking around the scene."We got a report from the inhabitants of the slums that there was a loose, legendary wild wolf rampaging the woods.""And I wasn't expecting to see you two here," she added."A wild wolf? Come on, there's no such thing," Orion immediately said. I turned to Colton, who had a jacket over his waist but no pants on.He must have probably shifted back to his human form, not wanting to be seen in his wolf form.No Alpha would want to be seen in this situation."Alpha Colton? oh my God.
Chapter Twelve Aria's Pov I turned around in shock as I heard his voice behind me. Anger surged through me."How dare you show your face here?" I asked as he just stared at me, his eyes filled with anger also. "Are you planning to defy my dad's order and leave with her?" He said, referring to my mum, making me give them a quizzical look."What's he talking about mum?" I asked as he turned to me."And you, are you ready to apologize?" But I didn't respond and rather shot him a piercing stare."I see you still haven't gotten over me," he mocked, looking around the house as I folded my fist."And who said I haven't?" I spat."Seems you don't want your parents to live," he whispered as I gave a small laugh, wondering where I got the boldness."Do you think I cheated on you? I wasn't even dating you, you were dating yourself." he suddenly said as I gave him a questioning stare."And, I'm not sorry to say this, but it was all part of the plan, the birthday surprise at the cafe, the video
Chapter Thirteen Aria's pov "Oh no, what are they doing here?" I whispered, feeling a sense of unease."This wasn't the time. I wasn't ready for their dramas," I thought, dreading their arrival."It's the cursed bond that brought Orion here, so what about Colton?" I wondered, refusing to believe he would stalk me."What a nice surprise," Alpha Kingsley said, his gaze fixed on the brothers."It's nice to see you," he added, trying to maintain a pleasant tone."And you too, Alpha," Orion replied, making his way toward me."How's your father doing? I hope he has been taking his medication," Kingsley asked, his concern masked by a thin smile, as Orion simply shrugged in response."Very well, but his health is getting worse," he reluctantly admitted."Oh, that's good. Marcus has always been a weak man, so it will be better he leaves this world immediately," Kingsley mocked, accompanied by a small laugh."Don't worry, I'll drop by soon to check on his sick ass," he taunted, showing a lack
Chapter FourteenAria's POV"You need to be calm mum," he said in a hurry."No, I don't want to hear that. Glamour has been in tears since she heard the news," the grand luna said, and I shuddered."What's Glamour doing here mum? You've got to let her out of this. ""I've been with Glamour for twenty-five years now, and we are just friends. I don't know why you instigated this in her heart," he said in anger as I tried to understand what was going on."And how are we sure that she's even my mate?" he asked angrily."Maybe if you had stayed home last night, you would have marked her under the lunar tether," she said disdainfully."And my mate? What do I do with her?" he asked."The same thing you will do with her now that you've marked your brother's mate," she spat in anger as my heart sank.I was like a demon, causing discord in a beautiful family."I've been trying to build this bond between your brother and you for a while now, but when it just began growing, a jezebel came to dest
Chapter Fifteen Aria's povI regained consciousness in a dimly lit room, The air felt heavy with a mix of dampness and tension."She will be okay right?" Princess's said in the background."Yes, darling," a voice replied."Why did you let her go into the pool?" Glamour asked with so much hatred evident in her voice."Don't you know it was a family pool?" she added..."But she's part of the family," Princess defended."And who said she is?""Well, she's Uncle Orion's mate, so she's part of the family. If anybody here isn't family, then it's you, bitch," Princess said angrily."What, Princess?" Her mum said, walking her out of the room."Luna, did she just say that to me?" Glamour asked as I tried not to laugh.In a space of two days, this was the second time I will be passing out.Everything was just happening too fast."All this is happening because of this bitch," the Grand Luna spat in anger."She needs to leave this house, I can't stand her."I closed my eyes tightly and looked a
Chapter Sixteen Orion's Pov "Mum, you just watch her leave?" I exclaimed, stunned by her decision."That's good riddance, son. She's originally your brother's mate, and he loves her. He will keep her safe," she explained."You know how Colton can be sometimes," I mused, lost in thought."How could this have happened?" I wondered, gazing around the room."Do you love her?" My mum suddenly asked, and I shot her a questioning stare."What? No, of course not," I immediately replied."Then let her go.""It's not as easy as you think, you don't know how I feel when she's in danger." "Oh goddess, what offense have I committed?" My mum asked, anger evident in her voice as I turned to face her."Why would you bless my home with such a girl as the mate to my sons?" she asked angrily, heaving a sigh."We need to find a way to break the bond instead of complaining," I suggested, walking out of her room as she wept, but then I noticed something odd, it was Glamour standing by the door."Has she
Chapter Seventeen Orion's POV"What? You dare accuse the Alpha?" Andrew growled, his fists clenched as Jane held the gun tightly, her hand trembling. "And if you move, I'll shoot," she threatened, her voice shaking."What is this all about, Jane?" I asked, struggling to contain my anger."Don't act like you don't know, Alpha," she replied, her tone filled with bitterness."Suit yourself, Jane. You've only caused more trouble for yourself," I said, seething with anger, and turned to leave to walk into my car when she suddenly shot the gun."You should know, I'm bigger than that," I muttered, removing the bullet and getting into the car."Let's go, Andrew," I said, signaling him to join me."What's happening, Alpha?" He asked concern etched on his face."You two have met before?" he asked as I gave a nod."So...." "What exactly do you want to know?" I questioned, my expression perplexed."You look weak," he observed, his eyes narrowing as he tried to change the discussion, seeing I wa
Chapter Eighteen Aria's POVI turned to look at Orion, his face contorted with anger."What do you mean by she has a child?" he asked, leaving the couch and walking to Ethan."Well, I'm serious," he said."Then where's this child of hers?" he suddenly asked as Ethan went mute."I think she died," he said as Andrew scoffed, obviously not believing a word of his as I sighed in relief."And why is she lying weakly on the floor? How dare you treat her as your servant?" he seethed, his voice filled with rage. I could only imagine the pain he would endure because of me."That's her place, she's a servant, because my dad, Alpha Kingsley bought her." he suddenly said as I turned to look at him in awe."What do you mean your father bought her?" Orion demanded, striding towards Ethan with fury in his eyes."Don't you know she's mine?" he growled, his voice dripping with anger."You still call this bitch your mate?" Ethan sneered, a smirk playing on his lips."Then what's your mate doing in you
Aria's Pov“Blaze, tomorrow you and the council will be having a meeting. Be there on time,” I heard his mom said as Blaze enters the house.“Tsk. Is there any other choice? Mom, you know I don’t want to be an Alpha. I dint like this position, give it to someone else!” Blaze shouted to her mom.Why is he not proud of it? He has the power and authority to control everybody, that’s why Dark wanted for so long.“What are you doing here, ugly maid?” Blaze asked me coldly.“Your dinner is ready!” I said with a smile on my face trying to make his energy alive.“Eat those food you prepare. I’ll be skipping my dinner,” he said and walked directly to his bed.“Skipping meals will make you weak.”“I’m not a human. Leave me alone!”“After what you did to me? No, I won’t obey you!” I said and sat beside him.“Damn you! What are you doing?”Maybe he is really afraid of me. Because of my dark eyebags?“Go away or else, I’ll mark you!” he said trying to threaten me.“What if I won’t?” I continue tea
Aria's Pov Being a maid is the hardest job for me. I don’t want to have a master, because I want to be the master of my own but life is really fucking me hard!“Faster! I’m hungry, if you failed to serve it here for one minute, I will eat you!” Alpha Blaze shouted from his room. Eat me? You will not dare to do so.“Just go on, eat me and you’ll be poison right away!” I answered back without doubt. I know he is strong, but I am superior to him. I can destroy him in just one snap of my hand, but of course I won’t do that to this guy.“Here is your breakfast,” I smiled at him playfully.He stared at me sharply. “What are you waiting for? Get out and I will eat!”He keeps on shouting at me, knowing that I’m not deaf. I can hear even his simple sighs. Too disgusting!“Why? I’m just standing here and your food is already in your table, what’s the matter? Does my presence keep on disturbing you?” I teased him but his eyes suddenly turn to red so I made a few steps away from him.“Get out a
Narrator's Pov Mixed feelings. Utter doubts were all that was going on in June's body. Damian had just ordered her to follow him this morning after they had lived together for hours in the same house feeling like they were in different worlds.June knew she was only alive because Eddie said so. Damian was just forced to obey.They arrived at a diner, not so big and not expensive enough for Damian to come here. This made June worried more.She thought he was going to hand her over to some broke people turned killers and Eddie would never expect to find her here.She kept walking, heading to the deeper end of the diner as Damian had not commanded her to stop."June!" She was sure she heard someone whispered her name. She looked around and saw a man in a weird hoodie. The man grabbed the hood and pulled it back."Eddie" June's face gleamed with happiness that she couldn't hide. She hurried to the table and took her seat. She put both hands on the table hoping Eddie would reach for th
Narrator's Pov The throne always seemed to be newer every morning. It was either the maid servants were doing a great work cleaning it or there was a magic responsible for that.Eddie traced his hand on the arms of the throne. He would be sitting on it as from tomorrow when he had been coronated as the Alpha King.He felt a surge within him. There was obviously someone sneaking behind him."And what do you think you are doing?" he asked without looking back. "You must have really heard the news that I have eyes all over my body" he said with a threatening tone."Please,it's me. Don't attack me" Jeff's voice begged."Uncle Jefferson" Eddie turned around and smiled. "You are testing me?" he chuckled."You are really your father's son. But, he would have known few steps away" he chuckled with him.Jeff was Eddie's uncle, the late Alpha King's brother. He was his beta, and a trusted companion."I am still growing, Uncle Jefferson" he buttressed."You like It?" Jeff traced his fingers on
Aria's Pov I don't know how I will feel especially when dad was here but he was not alone. He got home, finally. Dad introduced Anna his fianceé to us and her only daughter Marrie.As long as my dad is happy, I'm happy for him too. Also, I don't want to add this thoughts about my problems.First, we are almost caught us kissing of Nana Sena in the kitchen. Fortunately, she hadn't entered the kitchen yet and called Sav so I immediately pushed him. Second, the beggar called me a name that I do not know! Third, dad went home with someone. My dad isn't that old to not love again. I knew it would happen I just need to adjust. But hopefully, they will also adjust to me because I try to be mature for myself as well. If I could make sense I would. I hope they don't do anything against my will because I really can't control how they act. That's what I see in the movie."I'm glad that leaving you with Sav hija also pays off. I can see you've grown."Dad next to Anna smiling and then Anna’s dau
", Grandpa," Sav says goodbye to Grandpa Tacio. Grandpa turned to me. I smiled while holding my shoulder bag.Thanks"Thanks, grandpa. Uhh, we'll visit again." I saw Sav look at me, so I averted my eyes."I'm glad. I'm sorry our house is small-"I shook. "That's okay." I cut immediately. I turned around first when I saw Sav approach Grandpa and say something. We had purchased before leaving. We brought the needs of grandfather and his daughter and grandson.From last night I didn't know what to say to Sav. My eyes widened as I looked in the mirror inside the car. It's all a mania. It was as if the cold water had poured me out of the realization all over. He is my uncle. I am his niece. We fuck! Damn it!I used to watch these movies, but I didn't know it would happen to me either. To me, really?!I arranged a seat as he got into the car after inserting the bag we were carrying. He immediately sought my sight."Baby." He calls immediately, holding my hand that is on my thigh. My eye fell
"Dad!" I answered the phone happily. After long months, papa still didn't come home. I understand if it's about the business but why are you taking so long?"How's my daughter there?" Every day, it becomes a routine for us to call each other. Savier took over the Dela Rama Company because papa was not there yet. I heard our company became famous in the business world because of Sav. I am happy for him! Those months we celebrated his 25th birthday. I can say that we have become even closer to each other.In my secret world, I was content with just admiring my uncle. I was content because that was what it should be. I even witnessed him change his girlfriends like how he changes his clothes; they will be removed and never used again when old and dirty.He didn't take them seriously, which gave me fine breathing. It's better that way because I don't think I can bear to see him fall for someone else while I'm secretly hurt by falling for him."I am fine, dad. When are you going home? I-It
The girl in the mirror. She's beautiful. She doesn't seem to be seventeen. She looks like a mature woman because of her makeup. The lip with red lipstick. The eye with gray contact lenses. The gray cocktail dress was tight to my upper body. There is no cleavage but the exposed collarbone is attractive.It was seven o'clock in the evening. I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror again. I was nervous and excited. Sav was invited to our prom because he was a school sponsor. I went downstairs and he immediately looked up at me as if he had been waiting for me for a while. I saw his jaw move.He is so handsome in his black tux. She also has a new haircut. I saw he had an earring in his ear. Now I saw it, or maybe he just punched me? And his necktie is gray? I can hardly look at him. My hand is too cold.Who isn't nervous, right? I still remember what he told me last night. Those are his words to me. But after he said that, he seemed to be born and immediately left my room.
Aria's Pov It was a big mistake. The attraction I feel for Sav. Many handsome men flirt with me, but why am I only attracted to my uncle? What kind of heart do I have? Tsk. I buried it all in oblivion. I also don't know why he moves the same way toward me? He even asked me what if he would be my first kiss? Just what the hell!When that incident ended two days ago, everything became normal. Sometimes we share breakfast. He was just cold. He always has a cellphone call that he calls babe. He also comes home at night once. He is drunk. That hurts my heart.Of course, it's wrong to like him, my uncle. That was the most painful part for me. Just really unfair. But I will try my best. So, hard to keep this feeling. I know I can find a man for me too, but I'm not ready yet, fling will do.We are in the Mall now. I went with my driver because I don't know how to drive yet and because it's still forbidden for someone like me who is seventeen years old. I really don't want to go with the driv
