The Alpha’s Awakening One Hundred and Twenty Three.
Ryan’s POVShe looked at me like I was mad, but I just wanted to see her smile. Truly smile, like the days when I first met her.Holding her flush against me, I continue to spin us in the heavy rain, just as thunder claps above us. Her fingers grip my soaking shirt and just for a moment she tenses up and she pushes herself against me.It’s not long before I hear her giggles of joy and honestly, it was the best thing that I had heard. As the rain starts to slow, she rushes inside, squeezing the water out of her dark hair but the smile was still on her face. It only lasted moments before it faded and that sadness was back, her fingers trailing over Elijah’s mark that still had yet to fade. The first time it had faded the moment he broke his oath. Yet now he was dead, it still clung to her.Stepping inside, she closes the door behind me. A hand still over the mark.“I haven’t done anything like that since I was a kid.” I hoped the comment would pull her out of the moment.She lifts her
The Alpha’s Awakening One Hundred and Twenty Four.
Aria’s POVWith Elijah, it was when he touched me, the mate bond would drive me insane. With Ryan, I only had to look at him and it was sending my senses into overdrive. I just hoped he would stay downstairs. Sex was not part of the deal. I only agreed to let him mark me. I wanted to believe what Tala was saying, I wanted to trust that she was right. That Ryan’s mark would remove Elijah’s and maybe, just maybe, there would be less poison of his in my body. Maybe I would get to live a long and happy life.“Aria, we need to talk about this.” He calls up the stairs, his voice almost irresistible.“Nope!” I slam the door, trying to keep some distance between us as the sound of his footsteps climb the stairs.It had happened before. I hadn’t been able to control myself, my own body had betrayed me and it couldn’t happen again.Come on, where is your sense of adventure?‘I don’t need any more adventures!’ I snap at Tala as I try to level my breathing out. Controlling my thoughts. Clenchi

The Alpha’s Awakening Part Two. One.
AriaIt went against everything that I had promised myself as he pressed his lips against mine once again. His hands tugged at my clothes.“Stop Ryan.” I pull away and watch him frown as his grip holds me steady, not letting me move away.“I thought this is what you want.” His voice is low, his scent changing and becoming full of lust.“I can’t!” I mumble as my stomach ties itself up in knots. He lets out a growl, his amber eyes darkening at my refusal.What are you doing Aria? He wants us.‘I can’t,’ I mutter back. I was so confused, everything about Ryan had me wanting him up until a few seconds ago. But this, now, if I took the next step, something would go very very wrong. I just knew it!“Aria,” he leans in to kiss me again, and the second he realises that I meant what I said he shoves me to the ground.“I do everything for you, Aria. Everything. The messages you give me, I have no idea if I am coming or going.”His mark on my neck shoots out a sharp pain. His eyes fall to it as
The Alpha’s Awakening Two.
Ryan’s POVI had to walk away. I had to stop Atlas from making us do something stupid and I let go of her jaw, quickly moving away.He had power, the same power that I had felt once before. The power that came from being an Alpha.“You can’t just do that and walk away!” Aria shouts after me.But that’s exactly why I had to make us walk away. Something had changed inside of me. It was different from Aria and Tala. Aria could keep Tala in place, I couldn’t with Atlas, it was like he had free range to do whatever he wanted.Of course I can do what I want. I am an Alpha. His voice rumbles through me.When I tell him he can’t, I get this overwhelming sense that he is going to find a way to punish me. He doesn’t have to say it, I could just feel it.She is ours!‘That does not mean you can do what you want with her! She doesn’t appreciate it.’She is ours! He repeats his words again, but I ignore him.“You can’t run away from me!” Aria stomps through the house, following me. “You need to te
The Alpha’s Awakening Three.
Aria“Fuck, fuck, fuck, aaaaahhhhhh,” I let everything out, screaming into the musty pillow. I couldn’t believe it. He was being serious. He had lied, why did everyone always lie to me? Why the hell was I so gullible??Because for some stupid reason, you like to see the best in everyone but then complain when you didn’t see the lie. I feel her eyeroll, like she was stating an obvious fact.‘You don’t think that you should have told me?’What’s the point? You don’t want us to lead the Lycans anyway. I don't know why, we would make a damn fine Queen.‘You still should have said something about Atlas.’Would you have believed me?She had a point. I had questioned everything, all the stupid little things, but why didn’t I question Ryan and why did Atlas make me feel things that no one else had ever done? There was chemistry between Elijah and I, the same as Ryan and I but when Atlas was in control, it was different.His power radiated from him, like an aura that surrounded his entire bein
The Alpha’s Awakening Four.
RyanIt felt good to be back in control, to have that power again. I just needed Aria on board. I may have marked her, but she still needed to agree to help take over. We could both lead the Lycan’s into a new era. To a place where we didn’t have to remain so secretive from the wolves.I knew that I had left her questioning herself, but it was time for her to accept that she was the same as us. That her once quiet life was something of the past. She was built for chaos.Lycans will rule.‘But we can’t do it alone. We need our Queen.’She will come around. Tala will be working her magic.‘And then what, we seek out the Lycan’s that are here in England?’Exactly. Then we will reveal ourselves to the world.I hadn’t realised that that would be his plan.‘To the humans?’Fucking humans, they did me wrong!Atlas had never mentioned the humans, not in this way. I could feel his anger bubbling away and I was about to ask when Aria came crashing through the door. She was shifting, but it look
The Alpha’s Awakening Five.
AriaI could hear their voices. Travelling through the small house, echoeing through the empty rooms. They were talking about me and a young voice was claiming to be my sister. I should have gone down. There were a lot of things I should have done, instead I chose to stay here, listening with my ear pressed to the floor.There was more than one person, I could smell them and yet, this young one was the other one to speak. Was she the oldest? Were they children?Just go down and see.'No, not until I know what is happening. It's probably some sort of trap.' Tala rolls her eyes at me but quietens down.The moment the young girl said my father was alive, I was out the door and down the stairs. In the kitchen the girl was surrounded by eight men. Different coloured eyes all turn to look at me. But hers stood out the most. They were exactly like mine. Same dark hair too.“Ryan…”He stands next to me and asks how much I have heard. “Some.” I stare at the young girl, the one that looked jus

“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
The Alpha’s Awakening Forty Five.
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. Pain exploded through my chest all over again as I held her close. She had been taken away from me, fr
