Aria POV I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself not believing that this was actually me. Tonight was my engagement party and I wore this exquisite silver dress that hugged my body and showed all my curves, with a slit that reached my thigh and a glamorous diamond necklace that only highlighted my breast. I never knew what Klaus was thinking when he picked this dress. I let my hair down to cover my shoulders and applied little make up just to be more modest. I stared at myself and thought that I should just run away and never look back. This was never me or what I ever wanted. But I reminded myself again that marrying Klaus was perfect. It would gain me more power to be able to do what I wanted to do. Just being part of the Black pack, the biggest pack, was enough and Klaus was favored by the Alpha King. Now that I would be the luna I would be able to gain more authority. And not just that, I would also be married to Klaus Black the most powerful businessman known, only his
Aria POV With every step I took down, I felt like I really should run for dear life and hide. But the warm hand that held mine kept my heart beat down and calmed down my anxiousness. I looked at him and he had a genuine smile on his face that reached his eyes and shined like stars. He was happy being by my side. If I listened carefully I could hear his heart beating ecstatically out of happiness and true joy. While I on the other side couldn’t feel anything towards him. Was his mother right about me? Was I really a worthless no one? NO, I am not. I’ll prove it to everyone. I will avenge my child and will show everyone what I truly can be. As I took the last step down, I looked one last time at Klaus and promised secretly: “I’ll show your mother that I’m worthy of you even when I have no feelings for you” I turned my head and had my jaw drop open in surprise. The place looked like a fairy tale conjured from a Diseny movie. Klaus turned the villa into the most dazzling place it cou
Aria POV We both turned around at the same time but the surprise was for me. Klaus looked like he knew who was talking before seeing the person. He had this irritated smile on his face. In front of me stood a girl and not just any girl. She was dressed in a hot all sequin pink dress that reached her knees and hurt my eyes, her blond hair was tied up and showed her long neck. She had so much make up on her face that I could no longer see her real face and the perfume she wore was suffocating. I stopped breathing. “Who the hell is she?” I thought to myself. She didn’t even look at me. She had her unblinking eyes only focused on Klaus when she stepped closer to him and squeaked again with obvious sadness: “I’m happy for you, Alpha” “Seriously, Who the fuck is she?” I wanted to say it out loud but just kept quiet. Because once I saw the person standing next to her I understood who she was. Kathrine… Who just side glanced at me and I shivered again. I stepped back a little behind Kla
Aria POV This time the surprise was for them and not me. I stood my ground and raised my head trying to be as proud and arrogant as Klaus. I was his Luna afterall. They all stared at me with eyes wide open and shocked faces. The four of them just stood in front of us thunderstruck. I thought Nick knew that I was with Klaus when I attacked James but from the look on his face, it was obvious that he didn’t know. “Alpha Klaus, congratulations” Marcus was the one who talked first. “Thank you, Marcus” Klaus replied back as he put his arm around my waist: “Aria, my mate” The second Marie heard those words, she involuntarily touched her mark as if making sure it was there. Then she looked at my neck searching for my mark. Luckily my hair was down and it was difficult for her to see if I was marked or not. Not only Marie who was interested to know if I was marked or not. I caught Nick staring furiously at my neck as well. I smiled back: “Hi” They stared at me again and no one said anyth
Aria POV “That went well” Klaus said nonchalantly as he dropped my heels on the floor and walked towards the bathroom. He took off his bowtie, jacket and started to unbutton his shirt revealing his muscular chest. Shocked with what he just said downstairs, I stood there not moving. I didn’t know how I should feel anymore. I was overwhelmed, confused, stressed and scared. “You will take the blood oath” my voice came out all shaky and shocked. “Huh?” he turned to look at me: “Yeah, look about that. I know I should have asked you first but I wanted to shut everybody up…” he sounded like it meant nothing or wasn’t a big deal for him. “Binding yourself with me by blood. If I die, you’ll die. If I get hurt, you’ll get hurt” the tears that I held back were now streaming down my face. “I know” he walked back towards me and stopped right in front of me. I stared at him and the whole room was silent but from our breaths. “Look, Aria I did everything and would do anything for you” he gentl
Klaus POV I waited for a few minutes to calm down my rising lust before I got out of bed and got dressed. I had some important meetings today and a business deal to sign. Aria was still in the shower when I walked out of the room and went down stairs. Magy, our new maid, has already prepared breakfast. I sat down and waited for Aria. “Sam” I mind linked him to see what he wanted that was so urgent. “Klaus, where the hell are you?” “What is it?” “There is a video from yesterday that you have to see and your mother is in your office waiting” I sighed in frustration: “I’ll be there in 15 minutes” Aria walked down the stairs wearing one of my t-shirts, the t-shirt was so big that she tucked into the jeans. I bought her new clothes and she kept on wearing these things. She came and sat down next to me as Magy poured us some coffee: “Don’t you like the clothes I bought” “I do. Why?” “Every time I see you, you’re wearing my clothes” “That's because yours are more comfortable” I p
Klaus POV Everything happened so fast. I didn’t get the chance to process it, but the moment I felt Aria’s mind, I closed my eyes and teleported, hoping that she had just stopped the car at the right time. Luckily she did. I opened my eyes again, I was in the car and saw Aria holding tight onto the wheel with both her hands and she had her eyes closed. I touched her hand and she jumped in her seat in fright. She stared at me and took her a second to realize that it was me. She threw herself on me screaming: “Klaus” “Are you okay?” Her body shook violently and I could see fear in her unfocused eyes. “I’m now. Take me out of here” she buried her face in my neck. I looked outside and saw that the two cars that were chasing her now stopped a few meters away and men came out with heavy guns in their hands, heading towards us. They are here to kill, not kidnapping as I first thought. Nick and James are getting bolder which only meant they were scared of Aria. I smirked and pushed Ari
Aria POV I sat down on the couch waiting for Klaus to finish his last meeting with nothing on my mind but what Alpha Leo said to me yesterday. He thought I was dead. Why would he think that? I paced back and forth in the office. For years, I believed that my parents died in a car accident. I have no memory of the day whatsoever. I only remember that I woke up in my bed and my uncle told me that they had a terrible accident and passed away. Curiosity was eating me inside, so I decided to go and see him without waiting for Klaus. I knew he would be pissed but I wanted to listen to what he had to say alone before deciding whether I would tell Klaus or not. I left the company and hailed a cap instead of driving any of his cars. Lucky me, Klaus hasn’t assigned new guards to me so I was totally alone. Within 15 minutes I was standing in the Nightfire pack territory. “I’m Aria Silverman... I mean Aria Black. I request to see Alpha Leo” I said to the guards and within minutes I was taken
Klaus POV“Wolf’s bane”He threw wolf’s bane powder to my face. He knew he couldn’t win and decided to play dirty. He was such a lowlife person with no morals or dignity to face me. Instantly, I dropped to my knees struggling to breathe. While, Kaden stood next to me looking down at me with a disdainful smile on his face; “Forgot to tell you that my mother was a witch and she taught everything”He started circling around me one more time as I tried my best to calm down and limit the wolf’s bane effect on me to stay awake. I held my breath so as not to inhale more of the powder and paralyze my body.“You see, she taught me how poisonous the wolf’s bane is to your kind and how to use it to my benefit” he said and I tried to stand up, i needed to walk out of this spot to be able to breathe some fresh air. Before I could do it, he punched me hard in the face and I dropped back on the ground. Pain shot through my body, Then he started kicking me with his foot ferociously. He was angry, fru
Klaus POVAnother lost, forgotten and unwanted memory flooded inside my head. I wasn’t feeling good at all. I felt weak and vulnerable and those were new feelings to me. I have always buried my feelings deep inside and never looked back no matter what happened. I have always been strong and ruthless but ever since I got Aria in my life I have experienced all other types of emotions. Aria stared at me and I knew that she could feel everything that was going on inside me at this very second. For a moment, I didn’t want her to see me like this but there was nowhere to hide from her. She was my soul. Within a second, she numbed all my emotions, took all the depression and stress away. I didn't feel bad nor good. Just nothing at all. A weak smile found its way to me, she always does this when she tries to hide using her powers on me. She pressed her forehead against mine and said: “Let's go back to bed”Obedintly, I nodded my head and we both stood up and walked out of the bathroom. We cha
Klaus POVI had nothing to say to Aria. Not because I didn’t want to tell her, no, because I didn't know how to explain to her that I could feel my dead brother whom I killed years ago watching me. His scent, that I get every now and then, was driving me out of my mind. The first time I recognized it was back in Paris and it never left me afterwards. I asked Sam to make sure that he was really dead back then. Days later, Sam assured me that he was dead for sure and couldn’t find anything. It was like fire in my bones and I didn’t know how to deal with it but with what was going on with Aria and me I didn’t give much attention to the whole thing. Till now, I felt him staring at us inside my own bedroom and I just lost control. I jumped right off the balcony like a mad wolf. Even Though we searched the whole land and we didn’t find anything, I couldn’t feel peace. I looked at Aria who sat next to me completely drenched and she just looked back at me waiting for me to talk. She pulled he
Aria POVI opened my eyes gradually as I felt every bone in my body ache. The strength king Henry used was too much for me to tolerate. I wanted to raise my hand and touch my throbbing head but couldn’t. I turned my head to the side and saw Klaus sitting next to the bed, fast asleep while holding my hand tightly. “Klaus” I called out his name with a parched voice and tried to pull away my hand. His eyes snapped wide open and he stared at me. “Aria” he stood up and sat on the bed next to me. He caressed my cheek softly asking: “Are you okay?” he stared at me and I was immediately pulled into his soul. I could feel his worry rising like a Tsunami wave.I nodded my head and sat up: “I just have a headache”He sighed in relief and hugged me. I pressed my lips together in pain but quickly hid it from him. My whole body was in pain. “That’s fine. He didn’t hurt you, did he?” He let me go and stared at me. I didn’t want to answer this.“What did he want?” I asked curiously, changing the s
Before starting this chapter, I would like to thank you all for reading my book and I eagerly wait for your comments and reviews.. also note that I might edit the chapters again for mistakes and minor editions. =============================================== Aria POV I grabbed a dress that was in the closet and put it on. It was a little big but it’s better than nothing. My clothes were no longer usable. I stood in front of the bed and watched Klaus sleep peacefully. He looked like he didn’t sleep for weeks and I didn’t want to disturb him. The moment I felt his mind again and his soul poured inside mine, I was relieved. I didn’t hide my feelings from him, I let him feel how shattered I was and how messed up I had become. “Will I ever recover from this?” I thought to myself as I took a deep breath. I wanted to stop feeling bad about James but couldn’t because I didn’t feel bad about him, I felt bad for myself. I didn’t know I could be so uncontrollably powerful. Never thought that
Aria POV I poured it all into him. He felt every second of torture that he inflected on me and even more. I didn’t hold back or even feel pity for him. He deserved it. I was about to feel his heart stop from fear and pain when King Henry stopped me. He snapped his fingers and I lost total control over my power. “Aria” he roared my name and I turned my head towards him. He glared at me and I just looked down at James. He gasped loudly for air and laid down on the floor, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. He stared at nothing without saying a word. King Henry stepped down the stairs of his throne and stood right in front of me and I couldn’t hold back: “My King, you’ve heard everything. Everyone here heard it and it’s only fair that I kill him myself” I walked towards James, grabbed his hair and pulled it hard, showing his face to the King saying: “He has to feel everything I felt when he lashed me with his belt, 10 fucking lashes marked my body, and when he raped me, taking the l
Aria POV “No problem, you can use me” Sam said next to me and I snapped my head towards him in confusion. He smiled at me and moved towards Mika: “I had it in my hands for a long time. I am sure she could use me to look for it” “That’s easy” Mika said and sat down on the ground in the middle of the flowers: “I need you to lay down here” Sam sat down, laid down in front of her and she closed her eyes and rubbed her fingers on his temples saying: “Calm down and take a deep breath” Sam complied and took a deep breath in. “Now, Think of it. The last day you had in your hands. The place you were at. Who did you meet. I need you to visualize the whole thing inside your head and focus on it and then I will do the rest” We all stood still and stared at them without blinking. No one dared to even breathe, waiting in anticipation. It took her 15 minutes to open her eyes and all she said was one word: “Pants” Sam opened his eyes right after and stood up asking: “Which pants?” Mika shrugged
Klaus POV I was standing facing the door with an anxious heart and scared soul, when it opened and the guards stepped inside: “Your presence is needed alpha Klaus. Please follow us” They walked out and so did I. Finally, I was out of those four walls that drove me crazy in the past weeks. The guards took the stairs up from the palace underground prison and I followed to the great hall. The second I raised my head up I was startled. I saw Aria standing next to Sam, Elijah, Tory and others from Black who nodded their heads at me and there were new faces that I never saw before. Then I turned to the other side where James, and the whole of his pack stood. King Henry sat on his throne in the middle. I stood in front of him, surrounded by the guards. He nodded his head at them and they retreated to the side where alpha Franklin, Alec and Fay stood. I stared at them for a few good seconds. They were the packs that sided with James. I was still blocked, I tried to mindlink Aria and couldn’
Aria POVWe all stared at them carefully, counting the seconds and watching every move. We have been training day and night for this moment.The right moment…The moment when James jumped up in the air and aimed at me, it reminded me of the night when I attacked him outside of my building and Klaus saved me. But This time was different. He was different and I was different.The second he did. Zed knew what to do and he didn’t hesitate, just like we practiced countless times before. I was impressed by him, the 16 year old young boy that I found hiding in the woods. At first, he was scared and didn’t want to help or even talk to anyone but I just touched his emotions and assured him that no harm would come to him. His powers were truly magnificent and he was completely right to hide but not any more. It was time to show off what he could do and people should fear him and not the other way around.We all watched James fly up in the air and at the same time Zed came forward a few steps, k
