Ryan’s POVNothing I could say would reassure her. Aria was certain there was something fishy going on. No matter how much I tried to distract her, she would always circle us back to Jacob's mate, Daisy.“For once, I just want to trust my gut. Tala agrees with me. She thinks that there is a reason why Jacob is so eager for me to meet her. Not you, not anyone else, but me.”Of course Tala weighs in now. She keeps her mouth shut but now she has something to say. I bet its because of Orcus isn’t it? Go on, I dare you, ask her!‘Fine!’ I snap at him, but I would make sure that Aria knew the question wasn’t coming from me.“Atlas would like to know if Tala…” He growls at me “If Tala wants to meet up with Orcus?”What a surprise? I knew you would throw me under the bus.‘You asked’ I shrug my shoulders at him“Orcus shouldn’t have been such a dick then, should he!”Of course she would know, she was the one fucking him!“That was a long long time ago, when you were you, it’s not like she is

Aria’s POVRyan practically leaps out of the bath, fuming at the words Jacob spoke. He quickly grabs a towel before ripping the main bedroom door open to a smug looking Jacob.“You have to stop talking to her about like that or we are going to have some serious problems.”“Whatever, it is what she is!”Their voices go all quiet and as I climb from the bath, Tala tells me to stay.‘Why? They are clearly talking about us. That’s why they are trying to whisper.’Nothing good will come from staying in this pack.‘Well then, we need to change that. It doesn’t really help that my head is all over the place from this.’ I gesture at my small round belly.Then you need to start clearing your mind. You are becoming clouded by your own emotions.‘Says the Lycan who made me tear apart a hospital earlier.’That was….‘Your emotions!’ I snap, pulling a towel around my small frame.As soon as I step through the door, they stop speaking. Making it even clearer that they were talking about me.“If you

Ryan’s POV“You were gone for all of a few minutes. Did you run into her?”She violently shakes her head at me, chewing on her bottom lip.“I just can’t believe it.” She mutters, not quite making eye contact. “She said she hated our kind, well that was back when we thought we were Hybrids. She didn’t want anything to do with us.”“Aria, slow down.”“It’s Mel!”Who the fuck is Mel?‘Aria killed her human lover.’ I quickly remind Atlas“I killed her butler man person!” she almost whines.“Oh.” The human’s death had been what triggered Aria’s Lycan. “Are you sure it’s her?”From what I could remember, it seemed highly unlikely that Mel would be here and in a pack. She was pretty much a loner.”Well, I didn’t see her, but her voice is unmistakable. It has that weird twang to it.”She reaches for the door handle, “Aria, now is not the time.”“But I have to speak to her.”“You can, but wait until the dinner tomorrow. Jacob is obviously hiding her for some reason. He said she wasn’t here.”S

Aria’s POVI waited and waited for Ryan to follow me, but he doesn’t come. Instead he keeps himself away. Maybe it was for the best. I was angry and frustrated and as soon as I walked out the room, I knew I had overreacted, but there was no way I was going back in there.Laying on the bed, I look down at the tiny bump that had formed. I was still undecided about it. If I kept it, I would only let it down anyway, I wasn’t exactly a great role model. But it would make Ryan and Atlas happy. That was unless Frederick somehow got his hands on me.We have been through this. This is our baby. Why are you not connecting with it?I didn’t know why, but she was right. I didn’t feel anything for it.You are just not trying. Stop thinking of all the bad shit and enjoy this.‘It doesn’t help when there is still dodgy stuff going on. Like why is Mel pretending to be someone else? Does Jacob even know or is he in on it? Then don’t forget there is the small problem of my biological father oh and the

Atlas’s POVShe stared back at me. Could she tell? Was she able to tell that Ryan and I had merged?She won’t like it!‘She will be fine!’ I tell him, after all, he had finally accepted his fate for what it was.Ryan knew it, the moment Aria called for his help. He knew that I was his only option. We had been arguing anyway. After we had walked away from Jacob, Ryan demanded to know if it was real. If I really was a King of Lycans, like I had been sayng all along.I wasn’t sure why he never believed me, not until Jacob told him anyway.It wasn’t just that, Ryan for some reason couldn’t sense that Aria was in danger. I could. When she called for Ryan to help, he ignored it, mush to my annoyance. He was certain that she was just being hormonal. I knew something was wrong and the moment I pushed forward, he gave up. Telling me the body is mine, that Aria was mine.I zone back in and focus on Aria’s features.“Your eyes,” she mutters, staring up into themShe is onto us.“What about my e

Aria’s POV“Aria, I told you to stay put.”I don’t answer him as he calls out to me. Quickly walking away as he continues to shout my name. Diving into the bedroom, I had no idea what I planned to achieve. I had just watched Atlas rip Mel’s throat out, like it was nothing.It’s for the best!Tala was all for murdering Mel. To her, it was just an added bonus that Atlas had done it first.'I didn't say that I didn't enjoy watching it!' Truth was I enjoyed every moment of her slow death and the way her blood had beautifully trickled down her skin and onto Atlas.The door flies open, smacking against the wall as Atlas barges in. He comes to a stand still when he sees me just standing there. He raises an eyebrow at me, keeping his mouth shut. Slowly, he turns around and closes the door.“You came to our bedroom.” He mutters, still facing the door. “You didn’t run?”“Where else can I go?” I shrug my shoulders as he looks at me over his shoulder. I couldn't tell him I enjoyed it, what kind

Atlas’s POVI left her thoroughly fucked and content. She needed it, we both needed it.I made my way through the packhouse, quite pleased with myself. Aria had been spread out on the bed when I left her. Her breathing heavy, a thin cotton sheet loosely draped over her body. The scent of our sex filling the room. There is certainly a much kinkier side to her than what she lets on.Jacob was mulling over a coffee in his office. The office that would soon be mine.“Do you guys really have to be that loud? I just lost my mate.” He groans without even looking up.“I can’t help it if she is horny. Besides, she is my mate and I need to make sure she is happy and satisfied.”“Whatever. I’m still pissed with you Ryan. You let Atlas kill my mate. I’m sure we could have figured it out.”I thought he knew, but he hadn’t realised that I had taken over. He was far stupider than I realised. Like Aria said, my eyes gave me away.“Sure, because she would have let it go, Mel, Daisy, whatever her name

Aria’s POVSomething had changed, I could feel it.The pup was fine, but something was different in the house. A howl comes from downstairs. Quickly dressing, I’m about to go and investigate when I automatically howl back. I couldn't control it, it just came. It’s followed by a number of howls outside that seem to be growing.Danger! Tala mutters Get yourself prepared!I remember how mom had made me pack an emergency bag when I was a kid. Images from the night Ryan killed my parents flashed through my head. That feeling of dread sitting in the pit of my stomach.We don’t have time for you to overthink. You need to get ready.Pulling on my trainers. I let out a sigh. I couldn’t help but think of the past. This time was no different. Whatever the danger was, it was most likely coming for me!Tying my hair back from my face, I quickly check myself in the mirror. I looked a mess, but from the sounds of it. I didn’t have time.Leaving the bedroom, I hurry down the stairs and Jacob barges p

“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.

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.
