Aria’s pov

Time stood still as they all glared at me, especially Xantheas. His gaze bore a hole in me, leaving me completely speechless. Beads of imaginary sweats poured from my face and I wiped it off.

“What are they talking about Aria?” Xanthea asked again, his tone laced with tension.

My gaze shifted to Steve who had an evil smirk on his face, whereas Lena looked uncomfortable and didn't want to be there.

“Look, Xanthea, I can explain….” I tried to steady my breathing which is coming up in rasp. “However, I need to know why Lena is with Steve,” she continued.

“That wasn't the question, Aria” Steve blurted out, “he asked, if what I said was true? Are you working with me or not?”

Steve said, adding to the tension and Xanthea eyes were livid.

“There's nothing going on between us,” I stopped to catch my breath and closed my eyes. “I don't even know what you're talking about….” I was still saying when Lena blurted out.

Lena forcefully yanked her hands away from the stranger then turned to him, blocking me from seeing the stranger, I mean my mate.“Who the hell are you?” Lena thuderned at my saviour. I was glad she had finally let go of me, however sad that my clothes got stained and ripped at the same time.“I will not repeat myself. Don't you dare touch her” the man said in a low intimidating tone. I was flat on the floor but tried to get up when I heard. “Or what?” Lena sneered at the stranger.“Who is this person?” I question myself as I poke my head sideways to see his full face, as I tucked my head I was able to get a full face of him. And wow, he looked nothing like I'd expected.He stood around six foot five, has short brown hair that compliments his hunter brown eye. His chiselled jawline looked like he has been meowing since birth and his dressing was very casual. He was wearing a plain shirt with jeans. Just sim

    Aria's pov.I stood paralysed as the words escaped Mia’s lips. I tried to wrap my head around what she was trying to say, but it still wasn't making any sense“Who is she? And who's her dad?” I thought within myself while staring at my reflection, Xanthea behind me.The atmosphere felt suffocating and thick, the air in my lungs cut short and my heart Drummed in my heart.“And it is better for you to make the right choice than to keep them waiting. You know your Alpha-ship is in line” Mia whose gaze was on Xanthea suddenly shifted to mine, her expression filled with menace and grin. Before any of us could utter a word, she then stormed out of the Mall.********After what felt like a date ruin, we headed home but the words of Mia and the rest were already planted in me.They were all saying the same thing, “get a new Luna.

    Aria's pov Xanthea whisked me Into his vehicle and we headed onto the streets, with me having little to no knowledge of where we were heading.“You want to tell me what this is about?” I began, breaking the silence between us ever since we left the mansion.Xanthea glanced at me before staring at the wheel, he was driving and something I've noticed is that he hated people talking or distracting him while driving.Somehow I still couldn't believe what Kisha said back at the mansion. And what Rumors was she talking about? I know Xanthea would be mad if I ask him about it however I am dying to know what the rumors are.“You'll see once we get there,” he said.A long stretched silence filled the car again, and soon we arrived at a fancy Boutique clothing store.Manikin display in the store, putting on the most elegant luxury clothes I'd ever seen.“What is going on here?” I feigned a confused look as I watched him park at the parking lot.Xanthea turned to me and gave me a smile.. “wait

    Aria's P.O.VI was petrified by the imagery displaying before me. My mouth wide open as I looked into Xantheas eyes.Kisha was still wrapping herself around him while he tried to free himself.But something else caught my attention, he looked like he was enjoying it. Every bit of it.“Oh my god, have you missed me?” Kisha said in her high tone. I don't know where she went to or why she returned but she was getting on my nerves.“Why the Fuck would you do that?” Xantheas voice caught the excitement in her. Fear engulfed her and her breath hitched as Xanthea continued, “who gave you such a right to lay a finger on me, nonetheless kiss me” Xanthea fumed.Kisha’s gaze met mine, “I wanted us to reconnect….” Her voice was soft like she was about to cry. Her lips pressed together, holding back the pretentious tears from falling.“Did you know why I left? You didn't even call” Kisha said and I felt a pang of guilt hit me like a blow.I should have called her and asked why she suddenly disapp

But I am still adamant and not willing to change my mind.I will find the cure for Aria, And not get engaged to anyone.“You can go back. Tell them I'd come to a conclusion Later on” I said dismissing the young fellow. He bowed a little then turned to leave, Leo walking beside him as he left.“What are you going to do about it?” He joined me on the fancy bench which was situated outside the mansion right under an oak tree shielding us from the blazing sun.I remained silent for a while, calculating my risk and doing some Internal Thoughts. “Anyways, there's been some news.
