Ryder's POVI felt my guts knot and chest tightened as I watched Alpha London pick Aria up from the floor. He turned to go, to take Aria back to his pack. I should be glad that the she-wolf who lied and spat on my face was being taken away but I didn't know why I felt so... angered. I shifted my gaze from the alpha and turned my head to the side. I could not watch him take her away. I could not because... because I still loved her. "Fucking fuck this," I cursed under my breath as I gritted my teeth and clenched my jaws. I made to stand from my throne and head inside when a familiar voice spoke to me. 'Do you really want to ignore this?' my wolf, Otis, said, the sound of his voice resonating through my skull. 'You really are going to let this bastard take Aria?''I do not have any other choice, Otis,' I replied my wolf as I sat back down on my seat. I turned my gaze to Aria who laid still in London's arms and immediately felt my throat go dry. 'You know that what she did isn't somet

London's POVThe smile that I wore on my face immediately dissipated the moment I stepped out of the meeting room. My mind was troubled and no matter what I did to calm myself down, nothing worked. My plan was to come in and get Aria out but it seemed like the Lycan King's loved for Aria would disrupt the plans I had set out. But one thing that confused me though was Ryder's action towards Aria. I understood that he still had feelings for the stupid she-wolf and I expected their goodbyes to be full of tears. That happened, even though the crying was more on Aria's part. But I still could not understand why Ryder had asked for Aria to stay till dawn. What did he want to do?"Hey, wolf," I called and the guard leading me paused on his steps. He turned to me, a confused look on his face. "Is anything the matter, Alpha London?" he asked and I nodded. "I have to go get my mate," I said to him with a small smile. "She is waiting for me in our carriage outside. I can't spend the night w

Ryder's POVThe hallway felt unusually quiet, left for the pounding of my heart as it beat wildly in my chest. The air felt thickened around me and everything seemed to be still, as if the entire house had held it's breath along with me. Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I slowly began to approach Aria's door. Each step that I took echoed softly against the polished floor and the sound seemed to grow louder with each passing moment. I looked up from the ground where my gaze had been fixated and shifted my eyes to Aria's door, the barrier between me and the answers that I sought looming a few rooms ahead of me. After a few more steps, I finally stood in front of the door. I took in a deep breath and exhaled softly as I squeezed my hand into a fist. I raised it up and was about bringing it down to knock on the door when different thoughts began crossing my mind. Should I knock? Why couldn't I just turn and leave everything as it was? Did I really have to follow Otis' words? These

Ryder's POV"Aria," I muttered as I pushed open Aria's room door and walked in. Closing the door slowly behind me, I turned to search for Aria and was about calling her name when I sighted her. She laid on her bed, arms wrapped around her legs pulled tight to her chest. "Aria," I muttered as I slowly walked up to her bed. Slowly, Aria turned her head to look at me before sitting up on her bed. "What do you want?" she muttered weakly as she rested her back against the beds headboard, her week gaze still rested on me. "I just decided to come see you," I said, trying my best to maintain a stoic expression as I grabbed a small chair a few feet from her bed. I placed the chair in front of me and sat down on it, facing Aria. "And I wanted to know how you were doing." Aria scoffed, shaking her head as she shifted her gaze from me and brought it down to her feet. "And since when did you care about my well-being?" she asked, her tone filled with pain and laced with anger. "Weren't you the o

Aria's POVI stared at Ryder with disbelief. I couldn't believe him. After locking me up and treating me like I was nothing, he decided to come seel for a reason to justify his actions. But if I were to be honest, I didn't know what hurt more - He asking the question or me not having an answer. "That was the question that you came to ask me?" I asked as a bead of tear rolled down my cheeks. Ryder shrugged, the expression on his face stoic as he stared at me. "You didn't tell me of your... former actions before we got mated and now it has produced a result that has caused us both a lot of hurt," Ryder said, his tone calm and his expression still without any emotions. "Although you still have to face the consequences, I would love to know why you did what you did." "You claim that I caused you a lot of hurt," I muttered with a small sniff as I tried to control the storm of emotions raging through me. "You seem to be handling that hurt very well."Ryder frowned. "What do you mean?" h

Aria's POVI turned to the clock hung on my wall, my eyes watching the hands as they ticked. It was just a few minutes past four, which meant that dawn was at the corner. And with dawn came Lodnon... if I still stayed.I carefully stood from the ground, careful not to make a noise as I slowly walked to the door, my footsteps muffled under the soft carpet. I placed my hands on the doorknob and was about turning it open when I heard some voices come from the other side. My body jolting with fear, I made to turn and run to my bed when I realized that I recognized the voices outside; the two of them. "Why did you go to her room, Ryder?" Desiree shouted. I could sense anger in her voice as she spoke to Ryder, one that caused me to recall the first day I met her. "Aren't you done with her? Why did you go to her room?" "This isn't your concern, Desiree," Ryder said, his voice surprisingly calm. I heard footsteps recede from the door but then Desiree's call caused them to stop. "Ryder," s

Aria's POVI came out from behind the wall where I hid and glanced at the front door, our destination. Taking a deep calming breath, I took a short look down the corridor to make sure the area was clear. Seeing that it was, I reverted my eyes back to the door and let out a deep sigh. "I think the place is clear enough for you to go," Ma Levine muttered as she turned to me. "I made sure to bring all the maids to the other side of the mansion. The guards are still outside, but the ones guarding the gate that leads out of the compound through the garden have been sent to meet the Lycan King."My heart raced wildly within me as Ma Levine's words repeated in my mind. I licked my dry lips and took a deep but shaky breath as I slowly stood up. I grabbed tight the pillar in front of me as my eyes counted the steps that I was going to take. I was about making a move when Ma Levine placed a hand on my shoulder, stopping me. "Aria," the old she-wolf called in a quiet and barely audible voice a

London's POV "Take my hand," I said to Elsa as I stretched my right hand behind me. Elsa rushed and grabbed it as we both walked to the gate. The guards there had already moved out of the way, allowing us passage into the compound. "I want to take something from the carriage," Elsa muttered just as we entered the compound. As we passed by the garden, I turned to my right where our carriage was parked and growled under my breath. I was sure whatever Elsa wanted to do would take an awful lot of time and time was not something we had. Something was up and I really wanted to know what. Taking too long might just cause me to miss the window of opportunity I had. "What do you want to take that can't wait till we're done?" I asked Elsa as I turned to her. "And how long will it take?" I added, trying to keep the impatience out of my voice. Elsa hesitated, her eyes darting between me and the carriage. "Well, you did tell me that I should handle the bruise that you caused on my neck or sta

Ryder’s POV“Hudson!!!" I growled as I stood from my hiding place. My voice boomed across the valley, echoing off the cliffs as I emerged from our hiding place, my daughter cradled safely in my arms. "You're fucking doomed." Hudson's expression twisted into a mix of surprise, anger and confusion as he saw me. The reality of what was happening then hit him as he saw my warrior wolves jumping out of the shadows and rushing out towards he and his guards. It took a lot of fighting and the loss of some of my warriors but we were finally able to bring down all of Hudson's wolves and also subdue him. As they chained him too, I walked over to him, holding my daughter close to my chest."Hudson," I said, my voice filled with disappointment as I stared at him. "All the while you showed me evil, I trusted you like a brother. Only to have you betray me by attacking me and kidnapping my daughter." Hudson didn't give me a reply as he glared at me with rage in his eyes. I could see that he had no

Ryder's POV"I.. I actually am happy that you've finally coke back to me," Aria said as she smiled for the first time since our son's adoption. I still marveled at how perfect her teeth were. "And I am happier that you took my back," I replied, extending my hands to her. As I caressed it, I stared into her eyes and smiled. "I really, really am happy." The entire room seemed to be light up as Aria softly laughed. It was a sound I so much missed.Suddenly, her smile dissipated, a slight frown replacing it. I squeezed her hands softly and scooted closer to her. I didn't need anyone to tell me why her mood had changed. "Do not worry, Aria. I would comb the breadth and depth..." I was cut short by a loud knock on the door. Laying kisses on her forehead, I got up from.the bed and walked to the door. "Who is it?" I asked, a hint of frustration in my voice as I placed my hands on the doorknob. "It's Harold, Prince Ryder," came a familiar voice. I grunted and opened the door to see who it w

Desiree's POVI quickly collected the horse from Jason, ignoring the questions he was asking me. Quickly, I mounted the horse and whipped the reins, causing it to sprint out of the compound. I quickly turned my horse down the path that I knew led to the small shed Hudson had gone to. I kept on whipping my horse, not wanting to waste any time. I needed to get there fast if I really wanted my plans to work.It didn't take too long for me as I finally took notice of a familiar row of sunflower along the pathway I rode. It has been planted a year earlier by some servants as instructed by Hudson. It had started drizzling, but the ray of sunshine remained firm and colourful. I recalled the stores told to me when I was little that when such was happening, it meant the moon goddess was punishing a pack for sins that they had committed towards her. I didn't believe sigh anymore. I finally reached the small gate leading to the shed and saw a guard standing by it. He sighted me and quickly wi

Desiree's POVMy heart raced as I rushed through the compound gate. I needed to inform Ryder about my findings.I quickly surveyed the surrounding path, and after seeing no one, I moved towards the palace. I had not notified anyone about me leaving that mansion and I knew if Hudson was to learn about that, he would be suspicious of me. I didn't want to drag any attention to me so I reduced my pace, walking stealthily into the mansion. It wasn't until I overheard a maidservants telling the other that Hudson had ridden to his shed in the woods that I finally relaxed. As I walked, I thought of what would happen once I told Ryder the good news I held for him. I wasn't too concerned about what he would do though. I was much more concerned about what Aria would do. She had promised me that she would pack and leave the moment her stupid child was found and that was what I expected from her. If she did, I'd finally have Ryder to myself. Upon arriving at the palace, I received the referenc

Desiree's POV"We were ambushed and... they kidnapped my daughter," Ryder explained to me, his voice cracking a bit. I could hear from his tone that he was pained and angered by what had happened to he and Aria. Why wasn't he thinking about me? Aria and Ryder had arrived not up to an hour ago and Aria had retreated to her room to cry her eyes out. Ryder had decided to come to his study to think and luckily, I was waiting for him. His conversation though was not one I was expecting to be having with him. "Do you know who took her?" I asked, pretending to be concerned, even though deep down, I was filled with anger. "Was there any clue left behind by the wolves that may lead us to her?" "I... I don't know," Ryder admitted, frustration evident in his voice. He grunted and ran a hand through his hair as he shook his head. He looked down at the drink I had brought for him and I could see in his eyes that he wanted to take it. "But... but I have to find her. I lost Aria once. I can't be

Ryder's POV We had long begun our journey in silence, the only sound filling the air being the sound of our horse's hooves trotting softly against grass and the racket our carriage wheels made as it made it's way through the forest. The children too added to the list as they played and laughed loudly. Apart from all these, the carriage seemed silent. My gaze turned to Aria, a sense of guilt filling up within me as I stared at her. She had turned to the window and was staring at the passing trees. It was obvious that her mind was somewhere else and I wondered what it was that she was thinking about. Was it me? Was she having regrets?I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. I just didn't know what to say. Taking in a deep breath, I turned from her and began tapping my feet on the floor restlessly, trying my best to muster my courage."What is it?" I heard her say and I quickly turned to her. Her gaze had not left the window."Look, Aria, I'm... I'm really, really sorry," I sa

Ryder's POVThe morning came as quickly as the night went by and the rays of sun did more than wake me up, it also brought back bad memories. Memories of how I had treated Aria when all she had ever done was care for me, memories of how I should have heard her out a bit more, or protected her regardless of not knowing the origin of her pregnancy. I was nothing without her and her leaving ended up being undoubtedly detrimental to me. How did i not see that until now? But then, i probably did and decided on being more in denial. Due to the fact that it was already late yesterday, Alpha Kael had asked that I slept in before leaving with Aria. It wasn't something I wanted as it itched me to take Aria back home but I couldn't say nom He had taken me to my room, insisting that I don't sleep with Aria. I couldn't blame him. He was her father after all.I slowly sat up from bed, my right hand travellimg to my eyes as I began rubbing them to get them free from the haziness that had ensued th

Hudson's POVI walked out of the mansion and turned towards the path that led to the stable at the back. Sure enough, I found Jason there, attending to the horses inside. He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice my presence.I made to enter the stable but then stopped as I sighted a a clump of horse dung at the front. I looked down at the ground and saw that there were a lot surrounding the area. I wasn't sure I wanted to have my shoes get stained with any. Taking a step back from the stable door, I called out to Jason from outside. "Jason," I shouted as I shoved my hands into the pockets of my jean trousers. "Jason," I called out again after seeing that he had not heard my first call.Jason looked up, startled, and turned to the cabin door. He sighted me standing outside and immediately wipes his dirty hands on his jeans before walking slowly to the barn door. "Alpha Hudson," he said as he bowed his head low. "Is there any problem, alpha?" I gave Jason a small n

Aria's POVRyder stared at me for a few moments before rushing towards me. I dropped my kids to the ground in fear, thinking he was going to attack me but, to my greatest surprise, he enveloped me in a tight hug the moment he reached me. I didn't know what to do so I just stood there motionless as he began whispering words of apology. "I'm sorry, Aria," he whispered as he placed his head on my blossom. "I really really am so sorry." I didn't know what to say or do at that moment. What was he sorry about? And what was he even doing here in the first place? I heard the shuffling of feet behind me and turned slightly to see my father stand from his throne and begin to walk towards I and Ryder. He was confused but had not reacted to Ryder's sudden hug. I assumed it was because I wasn't protesting that he kept cool. "What is happening here?" he asked with a frown on his face as he paused at the last step of the podium on which his throne sat. "Prince Ryder," he called out to Ryder and I
