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
Aria'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 destroy it," she said
Aria's Pov"How are you still alive?" he asked, leaving me in awe."What are you talking about? Do I know you?" I questioned, my gaze fixed on him as Colton held me."Shhh," he hushed, placing his hands gently over my lips."Phila?" The man called again, and I couldn't help but let out a small laugh."What's going on? Is everyone losing their minds now?" I asked, feeling utterly confused."She's not Phila, she's Aria, my mate," Colton declared."You mean your brother's mate?" the man asked, his voice tinged with curiosity."Hi, dear. Sorry, I must have startled you," He said, extending his hand for a handshake."Oh, yes, you did startle me," I replied, taking his hand as he gave me a puzzled look."Sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else," he apologized, and I nodded in understanding."Where are you taking her?" the man suddenly asked as we turned to leave."Away from here," Colton said, his tone filled with respect."I can't sit and watch any of you harm my mate because of a
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 been eavesdroppi
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 of respect."Don'
Aria'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, and I expect more fr
"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." Orion said in anger."Because of a woman you killed father and you don't have any atom of guilt in you? Is it because you're now an Alpha?" Orion asked in anger."And you? Is it because he cares for you and gave you all his property?" Colton asked in fury."You know, yes, I don't feel guilty killing him,
Aria's Pov "What the hell." I tried saying when I spotted the maids from earlier "How dare you?" I asked coming down from the bed turning to face them."What are you going to do to us?" Ingrate the fat one asked."Awwn, don't give us, that look, don't cry." The other said as Glamor walked into the room."That will be enough." She said walking into the room."You sent them to do this?" I asked I'm anger."Yeah do you have a problem with that?" She asked giving a dirty laughter as she flipped her hair."Come with me." She said, walking out of the room."And now, to your first offence in making Orion hate you.""But he already does hate me." I akad in anger."Yeah, you don't have to tell me " she and with a smirk."Go into his room." She said as we stood outside the door."What." I half yelled "What, isn't he your mate? You have the right, go into the room. I'm doing you a big favour by saying this." She said as I stood out "He told me never to go into his room." I said as she smirke
