The Alpha’s Awakening Eighty Nine.
Ryan’s POV“Is that how it is?” she had done more than let him mark her. I could smell it, they had had sex. Her green eyes fill with water, tears threatening to spill over as she stares at me. Her hand clutches her neck, pressing over the mark.His mark had faded once before, but this time, it was permanent. He had chosen her.“I… it…I’m sorry.” she stutters out her words. She starts shaking her head. Clenching her eyes closed, she frowns “I don’t want either of you!”“Certainly looks like you want him. Fucking whore!” I expected better of her. Not to give in to her wants so easily.“HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!” There it was, that hidden anger of hers. Something she thinks she can conceal, but she deserved everything that I called her, she was welcome to the bastard. She could get as angry as she wanted, I no longer cared.“”Well that’s what you are, Aria. You ran away once and jumped into his bed without a second thought.”"No I didn't!""Come on Aria, I know you!"“Hey, that’s enough!”
The Alpha’s Awakening Ninety.
Aria’s POV I was fine, thankfully. A little sore but I was already on the mend. Staring into the mirror, my eyes focus on the mark on my neck. The one that he had given me. It was different than the first time. More prominent, a deep blue crescent. Splashing the cold water on my face, I let out a long sigh refusing to look at him. “Aria, we need to talk about this,” I finally turned to look at him. I wasn’t angry, I was just sad. “I don’t understand,” my fingers run over the mark. “I don’t know how to explain it to you either. A part of me got carried away. Just like our first night together. We are supposed to be together, Aria. You know it and I know it. Ryan has to accept that.” “It’s why you are immortal isn’t it?” He shakes his head, frowning. We had already talked about this, about Alwin changing him. “You know it’s not.” “It was never Alwin, it was the Moon Goddess. She made you this way, because of me.” I had figured it out. I was a Hybrid and if I chose Elijah, he w

Alpha Elijah’s POVShe looks up at me with those big green eyes of hers, biting her inner cheek until she draws blood. I just knew that she had heard everything. I repeat my question, watching her carefully as her eyes fill with water.“I’m not a monster,” she mutters quietly“That’s not what I meant.”“I heard you Elijah, I heard every word you spoke. If you think I am a monster, why did you bring me here?” She throws herself back on the bed with a sigh. “Everyone wants to keep me safe, locked away from the world. It doesn’t work does it? Someone still manages to hurt me.”“Aria it isn’t what I meant. If you had heard the first part of the conversation, then you would have heard me tell Simon how much I cared about you.”“Cared? It doesn’t hide the fact that you called me a monster.”“Look what you did to that Roger guy. You know full well that it’s only you that would have bitten him, even if you can’t remember it!”She props herself up on her elbows, but her eyes don’t quite meet
The Alpha’s Awakening Ninety Two.
Ryan’s POVI left when Mel asked me too. There was no point in me staying. Instead I make my way back into the town, I wasn’t going home, I had to be close by just in case. I had given Mel my number and was surprised when she actually called.“Elijah has taken her home.”“When?”“Yesterday. I made her leave. After what she did, she is lucky to be alive.” Her voice was cold and unforgiving.Mel fills me in on the murder Aria had commited. It didn’t sound like her, but then she had killed her sister when she felt threatened or maybe it was self defense.“You let him take her?”“She isn’t welcome in my house. I thought I was doing a good thing, but I’m right, nothing good comes from bringing multiple Hybrids together.”“You don’t understand Mel. I am going to die if she goes with him.”“Pfft. You are having a laugh right? What the hell gave you that idea?”“It’s in our history. Male Hybrids can’t survive without having an heir with their mate.” She bursts into laughter“You talk some shi
The Alpha’s Awakening Ninety Three.
Aria’s POVThe red fog starts to lift. I could just tell that I had shifted multiple times. There was always an ache, after one shift. Now, my body ached like I had done ten rounds in a boxing ring. Sitting up right, I realise that I am completely naked. Why could I never remember? It was like the blood did something else to me. Like my brain blocked out anything from the moment I consume blood.The bathroom door swings open and Elijah steps out. Fresh claw marks on his face were quickly healing, same as the wounds on his body. But why was he here? The last thing I remember is being in the kitchen.“Ah, you’re awake. How are you feeling?”. He pats his body down with a towel, not making eye contact.“You’re right,” I mutter through clenched teeth. I was a monster.“Pardon?”“You’re right. I am a monster. Elijah I told you to get out. Now I’m here!”“And that is exactly where you will be for the next few weeks.”“You’re locking me in?” This could not be happening again.“It’s for your
The Alpha’s Awakening Ninety Four.
Alpha Elijah’s POVRyan had arrived the day after I had shut Aria away. I hadn’t been sure when he would turn up. I just knew he would, especially after what happened at Mel’s. Not only that, he couldn't stay away as mush as I couldn't. Almost like she was constantly calling to our souls.He had arrived in my pack like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. His head low, his shoulders hunched, hands shoved in his pockets. He only asked to speak to me. He never requested to see Aria, which I had found odd.“I know what happened at Mel’s,” he sighs as he sinks down into one of the chairs in my office. We were only down the hallway from Aria but he still didn’t say anything. It made me feel uneasy.“So why are you here? Do you want to see her?”He shakes his head at me, frowning.“There is something you need to know about her.”This time he glances over his shoulder and deeply inhales.“You don’t want her anymore?” I was a little confused. He had been fighting for so l
The Alpha’s Awakening Ninety Five.
Ryan’s POV This was it. Every part of me felt it as I watched her start to shift. This was how it was going to end. She was finally going to put me out of my misery. End my life once and for all. Her eyes are the darkest I have ever seen. Like I was staring into a deep hole with no end in sight. Her bones crack more than usual as her body lengthens. Elijah wraps his arms around her waist, trying to lock her in place. But she fights through them. He does everything he can to hold her back. My rejection, it had signalled something else. A transition that couldn't be stopped. No longer a wolf but something entirely different. Her eyes were dark and her teeth long. She was still a midnight blue but much bigger than before. Growls came from somewhere deep inside her as she stared at me. I was her target, no one else. With one swipe of her arm she sends Elijah crashing into the wall. If he had been human, he would have died on impact. He stands and charges at the monster Aria had becom
The Alpha’s Awakening Ninety Six.
Alpha Elijah’s POVHe meant it this time. I looked on as Ryan walks across my grounds. Not even bothering to look back. Whenever he had arrived in my pack before, there was always something. An action that would signify his true feelings, but not this time. He had made his peace with it. I only hoped that he didn’t go around and spread the news about Aria.There was no need for a blood test. I had seen for myself what she had become. Though it opened up more questions. Mostly I wanted to know why the Moon Goddess kept it a secret. She had warned me, but she had never told me the truth. Payback I guess for lying to Aria.Aria’s small frame stretches out in the bed. Her bones crack as they reset and she lets out a big yawn before curling back up in a ball. I was in new territory. It wasn’t like I could ask the Fae either. The Fae were created first, chances are they had dealt with Lycans at some point, but the Fae were gone. They couldn’t give me any information. I was in this alone.“

“You won’t, you will never do it!” Athena screams as I drag her across the ground. “Shut your fucking mouth.” I yell over her whimperings.“Then just kill me. I can't bare to see you fuck us over.”“No Athena. You will see what happens. You will watch as I take over the entire world and you will hear all of it.”“Please, just let me die.”“No fucking chance.” I threw her body into the dungeon where Aria had been locked away. Athena’s body hits the stone floor as she rolls across the ground.“Please, Atlas, please just let me…”“Alpha Atlas.” I mutter. She was a traitor, she wasn’t anything other than that.“Alpha Atlas, please just let me die.” She continues to beg.“No chance.”I slam the door of the dungeons shut. Slipping the key into the lock. She would never get to see any of the pack again. All she would ever get is the information of how the world was changing. How I was becoming the King that no one could stop. How I would be unstoppable,I walk down to the gates, waiting for
The Alpha’s Awakening Fifty Two.
Atlas’s POVI couldn’t believe what I was hearing. How could Simon be mated to Athena? It didn’t seem possible. After all, he was gay. He had been married to a man.A man that he met at my ball! Ryan mutters. He sounded almost annoyed. “I can’t help it, Simon. The Moon Goddess obviously paired us together for a reason. It's not my fault.""There could have been a chance, but I can't protect you now!""You're not even going to try?"“Shut up. Just shut up you stupid woman!” Simon growls at her, obviously having enough of her shit.“I’m sorry that I am not what you wanted. Let me guess, you wanted someone with a dick!” Athena snaps back. "Well, I'm sorry about that, so suck it up!"“Whatever is going to happen between us doesn’t matter if Atlas kills you.”The sentence was perfect timing. Stepping into the small room. I see Athena sitting on the edge of a sofa. Her face in her hands. Her chocolate brown hair draped down over her. Simon had his back to me. His hands on his hips. A red t
The Alpha’s Awakening Fifty One.
Atlas’s POVSimon bursts into the room. I hadn’t even realised he had followed me. He stops in front of the empty crib. “Where is he, Atlas?” I couldn’t speak. I was in shock. How had I not felt it? How had I not known that he was in trouble?“ATLAS? Where the hell is he?”“She has him. She has taken my son.” I growl“FIND ATHENA!” I yell through a link to every single wolf and Lycan in the pack. “DO NOT LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT. SHE HAS MY SON!”“I can help.” Simon offers.“How? How can someone like you help.”“He is okay. Hunter is okay. That’s why you couldn’t sense him being taken. His Aunty has him. If he feels danger. You will know. You will feel it”“How can you be certain? He is the first Lycan child.”“Because you feel it when he cries. You feel it in your heart when he is upset. Whatever Athena has done. She is keeping him safe and he trusts her. The question is, what does she want in return.”“I know what she wants. She wants Bethany dead.”“Me?” A small voice cries behin
The Alpha’s Awakening Fifty.
Atlas’s POVAesha drops her head, keeping herself from looking at me. I wasn’t mad at her. I already had my suspicions. The way Athena looked at Bethany. The spite in her words. I had never known someone so jealous over a child.“Thank you, Aesha.”“You’re not mad at me?”“I’m not mad with you, no! You did the right thing.” I mull over her words. Frustrated that I couldn't get a break.“I told you Aesha. It was better to tell him than not.” Simon mumbles and nods at her, giving her a smile. I wondered how long this had been bugging her. Not once had we been alone today for her to tell me. Athena was always there, hovering or Bethany was at my side. Had Athena known Aesha had overheard her?“Did she know, Aesha? Did she know that you were listening in?”“I don’t… I don’t think so.”That sounds like a yes. If Athena had picked up her scent, then it would be obvious. It’s why Athena probably hovered at the funeral.“Things are getting more and more fucked up!” Simon mutters“Why are you
The Alpha’s Awakening Forty Nine.
Atlas’s POVGetting Aria ready for her funeral hit me hard. It made me realise just how much I missed her. She had put me through my paces, testing my patience but at the end of the day, she was mine.I'm not ready.'I know, but it is time.'Just like Bethany had said, Aria looked as though she was sleeping. Her fresh clothes hid her fatal wound. Aesha was busy putting some sort of make up on Aria, giving her a bit of colour. She keeps her mouth shut, knowing that it was best not to speak.It had been a long time since I had sent someone back to the Moon Goddess and I wasn’t ready for this. I reach out to touch her cold skin. Hoping that by some miracle, she would wake up. That this was all just some nightmare.“Everyone’s ready.” Athena mutters. I see how she glances at Bethany, but she doesn’t say anything and Bethany is oblivious to it.I nod and she leaves, taking Aesha with her. Bethany remains behind with me. She had stayed with me ever since we went to the orphanage earlier. Sh
The Alpha’s Awakening Forty Eight.
Atlas’s POVOver the course of the next few days, it was almost impossible to get anymore information out of Bethany. The moment she felt threatened, she would clam up. Hiding herself away, never leaving the house and refusing to speak to anyone. The only thing that would coax her out of her hiding spot was hot food. Today, it seemed like the smell of food wasn’t even working. I would have to go and find her when I was done.“Some great idea of yours.” I mutter as Aesha sits at the breakfast table with Athena and I.Athena cocks an eyebrow at me. She didn’t have a clue what I was talking about, but her gaze hit me hard. I had allowed Athena and Aesha to stay in the packhouse. In some ways it helped me feel close to Aria. Yet, it always seemed like they were watching my every move.“Is this about the funeral, Atlas? Because you can’t keep putting it off forever. Aria isn’t coming back.” I heard the undertone in her voice. She was trying to be assertive but she was grieving like the res
The Alpha’s Awakening Forty Seven.
Atlas’s POVThe small girl remains asleep for hours. Whether it was shock or tiredness that was causing her to sleep so heavily, I couldn’t tell. Her blonde hair was dirty. There were blood stains around her finger nails. Her blood splattered clothes were too small for her, torn in places too. Her feet were bare and didn’t look like they had been cleaned in days, maybe weeks.Hunter stirs in my arms, making little noises and I watch as the girl's face screws up. Like my son's sounds were causing her some distress. Calling for Aesha, she comes into my office and takes Hunter from me, casting a glance over the young girl.“Still not woken?” She asks and I shake my head.“I think she might have needed it.”“Sleep? She was with humans, surely they were looking after her, she is just a kid. At least you haven't killed her. Does that mean you are going ahead with what I suggested?"I don't respond. But I had investigated the girls feet. The hardened skin, the old scars, the clothes that wer
The Alpha’s Awakening Forty Six.
Atlas’s POVEveryone stayed out of my way except for one. He never spoke but it wasn’t like I could get rid of him either. His constant looks of disapproval and tutting were starting to grind on me.‘Ryan, if you don’t start keeping your disapproving looks to yourself, I will take that concoction that I made for Aria and block you altogether.’You’re losing it!‘Fuck off!’You need to talk about her!‘Will you shut the fuck up!’No. I loved her too and now, now you are just shutting down. Do you even care how I feel!‘You didn't love her, not like I did.’ There, I had said it. The overwhelming ache of my heart was almost too much. ‘But you got what you wanted, didn’t you, Ryan?’He is quiet again, because he knew exactly what I was referring to. The day he attacked her family. The plan he had made with Aria's sister, Seren. He had got what he wanted all along. A child with the woman he was mated too.It’s not like that. I made a mistake. He mutters at me, but I could feel that I had h

Atlas’s POVHuman after human, I tear them apart. Promising myself that I would get my revenge for what happened to my mate.The scent of blood swirled in the air as the humans screamed begging for their lives. They should not have come to war if they were not prepared to dieYou have to stop. This isn’t going to bring her back! Ryan pleads with me.But this is what they came for. They came for us and I had no intention of letting them leave.Humans tried to run, trying to escape their deaths and yet the Lycans and wolves seemed to have a whole new reason to kill. They wanted revenge for Aria’s death as much as I did.As the remnants of the humans laid scattered across the grounds, I instructed my men to check that no one was hiding amongst them. The last thing I needed was a human that could escape to tell the tale.Shifting back to my human form, I go back to Aria’s lifeless body.
