Aria POVI stood in front of the mirror looking at the dress I chose to wear tonight at the wedding. I wanted to make sure that I stood out strong and powerful. I never thought that I would ever let the dark side in me out but when it came to my revenge I could never stop. Tonight, I planned to strike hard and painfully. I walked down the stairs to find Elijah in his tux waiting for me with a frown on his face. He had the gift I requested earlier in his hand: “Why didn’t you tell me about this?”I looked at him, and opened the box, making sure that everything was right: “Because it doesn’t concern you”“Is this why you’re doing all this?” He was getting angry. I turned to him and said: “This is none of your business”“When you chose me as your beta, you made it my business. Does Klaus know what you're going to do?”I snapped my head at him: “Let me remind that you’re my beta and not his”He grabbed my shoulders: “Aria, Nick will come after you. He will be asking for your blood”I sigh
Aria POVEveryone turned his head to look at the door while I stared at Nick intensely. He noticed and looked at me. That was when I smiled deviously at him. He was confused for a second. I slowly turned my head towards the door and it opened. The bridesmaids walked in one by one, each taking her place then we all waited for the bride to walk in.One minute,Two minutes…She didn’t, Nick knotted his brows together and people started to whisper. I kept my smile on. Suddenly, Marie entered the hall. Slowly her father walked her down the aisle. Nick sighed in relief and smiled immediately at her. She looked heart broken and her eyes were red. She stood in front of him but never looked into his eyes.The Moon Goddess priest started talking when Marie looked at me among the crowd and stared at me for a long time. I gave her emotions one last kick and she turned to Nick who was confused and her choked voice came out: “I…”The priest stopped talking and looked at her. She cleared her throat.
Aria POVHis voice called the attention of the pack and they all turned to look. I knotted my brows and cold sweat ran down my back. Something was wrong about him. He sounded scheming to me. King Henry looked at him as well and felt the same: “Marcus, what is wrong with you?”His sly smile appeared and he took a step forward: “Nothing is wrong with me my King. I believe that entertainment is a must in this party and nothing is more entertaining than a good fight”Marcus kept his strong focused stare on me while talking. He really hated me.“I challenge you Aria for Alpha”He announced and the crowd gasped loudly. They started whispering among themselves. King Henry knotted his brow: “Marcus, have you lost your mind?”“King Henry, despite all she has done, I still believe she is unfit to lead this pack and I have the right to challenge the alpha anytime” he said and stared directly at me with uncontrollable excitement that scared me to death before adding: “And she can’t refuse”Now t
Aria POVThe two of us weren’t a good match to fight together. I was so tiny, fragile and knew absolutely nothing about fighting while Marcus was well built, tall and experienced. The only edge I had was the new power that no one knew about and the fact that he didn’t possess any. He stood in front of me with a proud smirk and we stared at each other for a few seconds. Suddenly he ran towards me and in a blink of an eye, he raised his hand and slapped me across my face. I fell onto the ground dizzy, my head throbbed uncontrollably and my ears buzzed. “Is this the Alpha you want? She can’t even stand a slap across the face” Marcus said to the crowd.It took me a few seconds to stand up again. I didn’t even say anything, I just looked at him and smirked. He was taken back and without hesitation, he hit my left side with his right foot. The hit was so hard that I thought my ribs cracked. That one hurt more than the earlier. I stood up again and gave him the same mocking smile. I wanted
Aria povThe witch was completely scared out of her wits and barely kept herself together. She looked at King Henry and calmed down a little before speaking:“Ma… Marcus always wanted to be an alpha and he knew that he could never win against alpha Morris. He pushed his son towards Aria so once she was alpha, his son would be alpha instead of her” She looked at me and I felt a pain in my chest. Nick told me before that I could abdicate the title in his favor and because I was stupidly in love with him I agreed to it.“Since he couldn’t wait for it, he planned Alpha Morris’s death and made sure to leave no witnesses. Then he brought Aria to me unconscious and told me to wipe her memory about the murder”She glanced at me again and I could feel the raging fire inside me aching to come out.“He … He even convinced her uncle to keep the truth from her to spare her the agony and pain which he agreed to out of his good heart and they announced to everyone that it was an accident”Despite a
Klaus POVEver since that night, I became constantly worried about Aria. The reason wasn’t even because Nick was on the run and could try to kill her any time. No, it was Aria herself. The look in her eyes when Marcus burst into flames. It scared me. She was losing herself to the dark side in her and I couldn’t let that happen. I might need to do something about it. Finally she was back home. She nearly healed, just needed to rest for a few more days.I was putting her to bed when Tory mindlinked me: “Alpha, we’ve a problem”I put on a poker face in front of Aria and replied back: “What is it?”“Nick’s last trail ended at the Holy Ruins”I pressed my lips together thinking carefully. He was hiding in the forest. He knew that I would think twice before sending anyone after him there. I stared into nothing. He was smarter than I thought.“Klaus” Aria called my name a few times before I turned to her.“Hm?”“Are you okay?” she asked“Yes, I’ll get you something to eat” I said and walked
Aria POVI screamed like a teenage girl in a concert for Justin Bieber. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He built an indoor private pool. It had a waterfall on one side and a skylight dome that made it seem exceptional as the moon cascaded its lights in. With the dress on, I immediately jumped in.“WOOOW” I screamed out loud letting the water carry me and my voice echoed through the walls. I dived down and when I came back up, I saw Klaus standing, leaning on the door frame with a drink in hand: “I see you found the pool” he had a wicked smile on his face.“What?” I asked as I brushed my hair back. He raised an eyebrow, put the drink down on the floor and walked to the edge of the pool saying: “I remember the last time we were in a pool together”I knotted my brows and remembered the embarrassing moment I threw myself at him after I saw Marie’s mark on her neck. I smiled shyly and heard him say: “You asked me something at the time”He took off his shirt and pulled down his pants before jum
Klaus POV Aria fit perfectly between my arms. I never get enough of touching her or feeling her body close to mine. I always wanted more. She truly was my mate and nothing could break our bond. I felt blissed. This was the real mate bond I longed for all this years. I touched Aria’s memories before when I first met her but this was totally different. She let me into her consciousness without holding back and I was surprised at how powerful her dark side was. She had no control over it at all. When it came to those who hurt her she couldn’t stop herself from hurting them. It put out the revengeful fire perpetually burning inside her. She wanted them dead and that got me wondering to what extent she was willing to go. I also did the same and allowed her in. She was overwhelmed. She kept jumping and exploring my mind for a long time. She finally knew everything about me from the moment I was born till this very second next to her. I didn’t notice where she was going inside my mind ti
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
