ARIA'S POV"Look at you looking so Alphaly." I said to Anthony walking up to him.Days after the war between the Lycan pack and Nightfang, he was now the alpha of both Nightfang and crescent moon pack."Is that even a word?" He asked me, smiling."How would I know?" I chuckled."Interview time." I said, clearing my throat, picking up my hairbrush as a microphone and walking to him."What are you doing?" He asked, laughing."What does it look like, my love?" I asked him, stressing the love, a little. "I'm interviewing you." I said, answering his question."Okay, fine." He said adjusting the sleeve of his shirt."Here, let me help you do that." I said to him, dropping my hairbrush on the vanity table, helping him adjust his dressing.He looked so good and much more handsome after he had taken over his two rivalry packs. Even his aura had changed. He now exuded more power than he did before."This feat has never been achieved in the history of the Lycan pack had it?" I asked him, referrin
DANE'S POVFor hours now, I had been running aimlessly away from my prison walls. I might have been a slave just when Anthony had power over the Lycan pack. But now that he had possessed the Crescent Moon pack and Nightfang pack, I couldn't bring my mind to the fact that I would have to be a slave to him forever.I ran on, the forest closing in on me with every step I took. If it was just my mind playing tricks on me or real, I didn't know. I just knew that I had begun to feel suffocated.My feet were covered in bruises. My clothes were torn. My shirt was covered in dried blood that I bled when I was escaping. And my trousers were so torn, that my legs were covered in serious injuries that needed to be treated urgently to prevent getting infected.At every step of the way, I felt like I was being followed, felt like something was going to lash out at me from the shadows of the forest, tearing me to pieces.I carried a silver dagger, and a bottle of powdered wolfsbane, just in case I wa
ARIA'S POVAnthony said not to bother about Dane."He's got nothing now Aria." He said, hugging me. "So there's nothing to worry about."That put my heart to rest, as it was true. Dane had no where to run to, he had nowhere to be. Unless I was wrong.*** Months later ***I woke up to foreign noises coming from the bathroom. Anthony had left a note saying that he had to leave the pack to attend to other issues pertaining to his taking over of Crescent moon pack and Nightfang pack. That he would be home before lunch.I put back the note on the table where he had left it, moving towards the bathroom to see what was going on.And there they were fighting. Again.Selena and Claire never seemed to get along. Claire said that she hated her, that Selena was too entitled. While Selena on the other hand said that Claire doesn't want to get along with her."You don't put that in here." Claire was saying to Selena. "She doesn't like that.""That's not right." Selena said looking at the object in q
Aria's POV: "I, Logan Pierce, Alpha of the Nightfang Pack, reject you, Aria Wilson, as my fated mate."The pain that came from hearing those words felt like a hot knife going straight through my throat. The pain of rejection shot through my body, making me wince, and hot tears rushed to my eyes."Logan..." I whispered, staring at my mate, my love. In his place was a cold-hearted man I didn't recognize. "What is all this about?"What had I done to deserve a rejection out of nowhere? I tried to think hard, trying to understand what exactly it was. Nothing came to my mind.Logan, my husband of three years, was glaring at me with hatred I hadn't ever seen in him before. "You're a traitor. And you will be punished as such." He said this, his eyes flashing in anger. He motioned for the guards on standby. "No, no, wait! Please wait!" I screamed. The guards advanced on me. I ran up to Logan, reaching out to grab his hand, but he moved out of the way. I fell to the ground, my knee hitting the
Darcy's POV: That had gone easier than I had expected. Finally, that damned bitch was gone for good. It was always Aria. Ever since we were girls, it was always her. She was the smart one. She was the pretty one. She was the one who had the bright future. While I was destined to remain in her shadow forever, "Let's go back," Logan said as soon as Aria's form disappeared from sight. I hooked my arm with his and flashed him a brilliant smile. I had spent years perfecting this smile. "Sure!" I said it in a happy tone. He turned, his eyes hardening as he saw the red mark on my cheek. "That damned bitch." He hissed in anger, his fingertips touching my face. "It's just a love mark." I said it in a nonchalant tone. A love mark it was. Just as I had Aria walking around with my own love mark, it was a little something between us, and I doubt she was aware of it. But it had been years already—a little drop of it every morning—and she was as weak and pliant as a newborn. Oh poor Aria, s
Aria's POV: My eyes went wide with horror. "No, you can't be serious!" He leaned back. "Enjoy your time here, former Alpha Aria."He turned and walked away. I banged the bars hard, screaming for him to get back and unlock this damned door!The Crescent Pack was a menace. A true one. Their alphas collected rogues like a little girl collects dolls. The stories I had heard of Dane Seymour were not good.I screamed out in frustration and kicked the bars hard. How did I end up here?! Was this some kind of cruel fate in store for only me?!The cell was small and dimly lit with candles. My entire body was starting to ache from lying on the concrete floors for so damn long.I heard the sound of footsteps and turned, hoping for Dane. But instead, it was a guard. He unlocked the door and stood to the side. "Get out," he snapped. He can't possibly be talking to me. So I remained where I stood, glaring at him. He sighed and stormed inside the cell, stalking his way up to me."Don't you even
Aria's POV "Fine!" I shouted. "I'll get in!"Maria nodded, with not even a hint of a smile on her face to show that she was joking. "Get in the tub." She said. "You weren't going to call them, were you?" I asked for good measure.She didn't reply. Her eyes told me all I needed to know. She was serious, she was actually going to call the guards to bathe me!"The last girl misbehaved." Maria said, At last." You can guess how it ended. And trust me, they will do more than bathe you." She said it with a crazy smile on her face.That was disgusting. There's no way I'd let such hands touch my body. The only one who had touched me was....My head filled with thoughts of Logan again. I hissed in annoyance. That traitor. I shouldn't be thinking of him again!But alas, my thoughts always flitted toward him. It wasn't an easy task to forget him. At random, my mind will be filled with memories of when he was my love. And the pain would start all over again.I undressed and got into the tub. The
Aria's POV:A cold wind blew by, lifting my skirt. I grabbed it and held it down. Anthony's intense eyes were focused on me. It was like he was searching for something. Goosebumps erupted over my skin; this dress barely even covered anything."You're cold," Anthony stated."No sh*t," I said, straightening my back. If the skirt wanted to go up in my face, that's fine.Anthony raised a brow at my curse word.If he has a problem with it, that's on him, not me. I was trembling in my boots from the cold. From his presence. And the last thing I wanted to do was watch my tongue."We should get going." He turned and walked to the carriage. He moved like he was gliding, his feet barely touching the ground and his hair flowing behind him. He had this grace and fluidity that he moved with.I guess that's why he was called Blessed of the Moon Goddess."Alpha Aria, are you coming?"I exhaled, my breath forming wisps of steam in front of me. I made my way over to the carriage, another cold wind rais
