The Alpha’s Awakening Thirty Eight.
Ryan’s POV“I think you better start talking Elle.”She shifts around uncomfortably, her eyes darting around the room like she was searching for a way to escape. As soon as I realise what she is doing, I block the door, her invisibility tricks won’t work on me this time!“Just tell me Elle because it sounds a lot like we both have a problem with Elijah.”“I can’t, I promised!” she bites down on her bottom lip, exactly the way Aria had done whenever she was nervous.“Come on Elle. It’s not like I can do anything anyway, his numbers are huge and I am just one man.”“He will kill me if the information gets out!”“And I might just kill you if you don’t start talking!” It was harsh, but I needed to know what she was hiding.Her eyes widen at my response, the hazel of her eyes shifting to a grey colour when she suddenly charges me. As she slams into me, the pretty girl I knew was gone. Instead her face was sharper, her limbs had lengthened, her eyes bigger and rows of sharp teeth had replac

Alpha Elijah’s POVAll I could do was watch her. Aria’s eyes danced around as she took another sip. She appeared to be completely unaware that she was slurring her words. Almost like she was drunk, but all she had had was my blood and I had made sure that there was no alcohol in my system before having my blood drawn.She mutters something about only drinking one glass even though she had more, when she leaps up from her seat. I watch as the glass rolls from her lap, bouncing across the carpet and look up just in time to see her lunging at me, her fangs on show. What the fuck was happening to her?She falls short, crashing onto my desk and sending paperwork flying. It gives me the chance to pin her down and call for Simon to help.When Simon arrives, he laughs, completely amused by the scene.“I’m not sure what you are thinking but this is certainly not my idea of fun sex.” he chuckles to himself again.“Shut up Simon and help!”Aria was wriggling underneath me, her teeth nipping at a

Ryan’s POVElle didn’t speak to me for a few days, escaping the apartment any chance she got or just generlly avoiding me. She had even picked up extra shifts, but the icing on the cake was when I woke to find a note from her scrunched up in my hand. Telling me not to look for her.Things had been tense, the atmosphere between us strained as I struggled to put together what I had done wrong to make her avoid me, but this note clearly meant that I had screwed up. The last time I had seen her, she looked atme the same way as Aria did, like she pitied me. Maybe I should have told her the truth about me from the beginning!Knocking on her bedroom door was a habit. If it had been Aria I would have just forced myself in but I had needed Elle. I had needed her trust and had kept up the pretence of being a good man, something far more difficult than revealing the truth.Elle’s room was immaculate, not a single spec of dust could be seen and yet something in here just felt off. Her white curta

Aria’s POVI could see the moon as I opened my eyes, the curtains hadn’t been closed and the glow of the moonlight cast odd shadows in the room. A heavy arm was draped over my waist, his hand resting on my stomach, slipped under the tee I was wearing. I knew it belonged to Elijah. The tingles travelling over my skin, told me everything I needed to know as he lets out a few snuffly snores and his grip on me tightens.I should have been happy, but something was bugging me. I could barely remember how I got here, how I had ended up in Elijah’s bed, fully clothed. Faint images of being pinned down come to me, but I couldn’t imagine Elijah doing that to me, not without my permission.Elijah pulls me closer to him and I realise his snores had stopped when his lips press against the mark he had given me, sending more tingles through me.“About time!” he murmurs against my skin, his warm breath fanning over me, causing me to shiver. He did something to me that Ryan could never do. He made m

Alpha Elijah’s POVShe lets out a giggle as we walk back to the spot where I had left our clothes. Hearing it made my heart flutter, but I was never going to tell her that. I couldn’t have her thinking that I was weak, no matter how in love with her I was.To be honest, I am surprised she let me fuck her out in the open. I couldn’t resist. The way the moonlight was catching her skin, the way she smiled at me, even down to the curve of her body, it was like she was calling me. I just couldn’t ignore my instincts.It didn’t bother me that she was a hybrid, not anymore.Aria was so much more than that and she had been chosen for me, if only she was just for me and not matched to another dick!Once the packhouse was in view, I grab our clothes and she quickly pulled them on as dawn was about to break.“One of the guards have her!” Simon’s voice vibrates through my head and at first I ignore him, enjoying watching my mate as she slowly lowered her tee over her breasts. If I had it my way,

Ryan’s POVElle gives me that look, the one she had mastered when she didn't want to answer. As I repeat my question about the wolfsbane. Her bottom lip sticks out a tiny bit, her eyes roll before she looks away and folds her arms across her chest.“Come on Elle, somebody obviously gave it to you!”“You’re right, they did. More importantly, she did.” she mumbles, turning away from me.“Who Elle? Who are you talking about?”She finally looks me dead in the eye and mutters my mates name.“How the hell did you come into contact with her?”“It wasn’t like that. I was running away, one of Elijah’s men got a hold of me. They know that I know where you are Ryan, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t follow me. She did cause a big scene.”“What do you mean?” It didn’t sound like Aria.“She warned me to stay away from you and not because she still loves you. I could hear it in her words Ryan, she absolutely one hundred percent despises you.”My heart jolts a little on hearing those words. I don’t wa

Alpha Elijah’s POVIt happened so quickly. My demands for Elle to show me where Ryan was, was ripped away from me in less than a second.Aria wasn’t ready to be in the human public eye, not in the slightest. This was the first time she was around humans and I thought she could cope. I should have read the signs as soon as she started fidgeting. All of this was my own fault.She slumps back in the car after we finally get out of the restaurant. It had turned into chaos, a huge fight breaking out that seemed to trigger the humans in turning on one another. Thankfully, I was able to get us out without her losing completely.Ordering my wolves to remain in human form had been critical. We had managed to keep our identity from them for thousands of years. I didn’t need the news of our kind getting out over my own fucking mistake.Elle left. It took her less than a second to escape and I wondered if she had actually been here at all, I knew what the Fae were capable of.Climbing in next to

Aria’s POVI was still coming to terms with my own lack of control. I hadn’t meant for any of this to happen. I never wanted to attack that waiter, I just couldn’t resist the pulsating vein in his neck.It had only made it worse when the Fae person started talking about me, talking like she knew me. An irrational feeling had been growing inside of me the moment I had sat down. I just knew by the way she had talked about Ryan, that she had a thing for him and for a brief moment, I had wondered if he liked her too. Was I jealous? It didn’t seem likely, not after everything he had done to me and yet at the same time, I almost wished that we would have seen him. What the hell was wrong with me?In the car, I didn’t want to speak, if anything, I was feeling guilty and uncomfortable. A mix between the need for blood and why I suddenly seemed so desperate to see Ryan. I kept my mouth shut, only asking a few questions here and there but it really pissed me off when I found out Elijah was keep

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