ARIA'S POVMy eyes watered, all thanks to the heat that was being emitted from the burning buildings. Anthony has taken off to fight off the warriors that have invaded the pack.I went around, looking for ways to get women and children to safety, away from the choking smoke and the fiery flames that rose up into the air.Anthony was still in sight, fighting warriors off with anger and rage, probably wondering the same thing I was wondering.Who had done this? Who would dare? Then I saw the only person that my mind had been pricking me about—the only person I had on the list of people who could dare this. There he was.Dane!!He had warriors all around him racing towards Anthony. There was no way I was letting him get to Anthony!I charged at him and his warriors, knocking off the ten of his warriors at his left hand side with one clean swipe of my claws. The other five on the right came charging at me. But if I could take down ten in one swipe, what was five?Before I could engage myse
ARIA'S POVIt had been three days since Anthony and I had mated, and I felt like I had become seven times stronger. There was this feeling I now felt. The feeling of power—the feeling that something in me that was raw had become grilled—was a feeling that I had never felt in my entire life. Bearing the mate mark of the most powerful alpha in the realm, sure came with a lot of side effects.Thinking back to the night we marked each other made me giggle and blush like a teenage girl in love. That night was seared into my mind, erasing every last bit of Logan from my head. Anthony was the perfect lover—kind and gentle, and he made sure not to hurt me in any way."Calm down, Aria," I chide myself, trying to keep my blushing down. "You have a prisoner to visit."To fulfill Anthony's request, I decided to interrogate Dane today.Claire was still healing, but she had not healed enough to resume duties. It was weird working with another person who wasn't Claire, so I just let the new maid fix
ARIA'S POVFor days, I thought intently about all that Dane had told me concerning Darcy. It had taken a lot of my self control for me to still be Dane after all that I had found out until today. I just couldn't take it anymore.I left the garden I was seated in and headed for my room, suppressing the anger I was feeling. I pushed the door to my room open with such force that the entire room rattled. I was growling inside, and I knew it. With every breath I took, my wolf threatened to break loose.I looked around my room, eager to find something to break. My eyes fell on the stool beside my bed. Break it! Break it!!Then the room began to spin. It spun clockwise, then began to spin anticlockwise. My wolf became bloodthirsty, wanting to kill something or even someone. And there was no one else it wanted to tear to pieces than Darcy.My sister! The one who claimed she would stick with me through thick and thin. She was always there, telling me not to worry about anything, that she had my
ARIA'S POV"You refuse?" I scoffed looking at him. I couldn't believe my ears. How could he refuse? What else did we have to wait for? I had become stronger and even found out the rest of the story so what else was his reason for refusing?"Aria you cannot go to Nightfang." He said, looking at me. "We have already talked about this before.""That was before, for crying out loud Anthony." I said to him, rising to my feet. "That was like how far back?" I asked him. "You said I needed to get stronger, and now, I am stronger." I said to him, "What else are we waiting for.""You don't understand Aria." He said."Then make me understand!" I screamed. "Make me understand Anthony.""It's too dangerous for you plus we need to prepare for a battle like that." He said."A battle?" I asked, laughing. "That is not a battle, it's my battle.""And you think that if you go there alone you'll make it out alive?" He asked, looking at me. "They hate you Aria." He said holding me. "They want to get rid o
ARIA'S POVThe news spread like wildfire round the pack. It brought celebration and joy round the pack. Everywhere Anthony and I went, we were greeted with congratulations before greetings of Good Day alpha Anthony and lady Aria.I then decided to move into Anthony's room after ages of refusing to move in even when he requested I do so."This was why you were on edge." Claire said to me as she was helping me take some essentials that I was going to need while the servants would move the others."What can I say?" I asked her. "My hormones were all over the place." I said to her,"They sure added to the frustration and stress you were going through." She said packing my books. "That was what must have made you pass out."Of course, that was it."I'm going to miss you." She said, opening her arms for a hug."Where am I going?" I asked her."Away!!!" She said mimicking the sound of a wailing baby, coming closer to hug me."No Claire." I said, stepping backwards.She kept wailing and follow
ARIA'S POV"Look who it is!" One of the guards at the border exclaimed when he saw me.Anthony and I had decided that I would walk up to the border guards on my own, while they would be at a close range behind me, then I would go in to find Darcy and Logan."Our long lost and exiled Alpha Aria." He said smiling."Hey Bruno." I said, smiling at him. "Long time no see ehh. Miss me?" I asked him, coming to stand a few inches before him."Why would I not miss the weakest alpha of all times?" He asked, looking at his comrades as they all fell into fits of laughter.I shook my head and moved forward to continue my journey. "Uh uh uh..." Jonathan, another of the guards, blocked me. "Where do you think you are going, Alpha Aria?" Bruno asked me, stressing the word Alpha."What do you think?" I asked, turning to face him. "I'm going to see my ex." I said smiling then turned to move, only to be blocked again, this time by both Bruno and Jonathan."In case you have forgotten." Bruno said to me
ARIA'S POV"Are you that surprised?" Logan asked me, coming up to where I stood, a smile on his face, walking around me, "You already knew this. Why then did you come all the way here to ask me questions to which you already knew the answer to?"Before I could answer him, he answered his question."That's for you to know and for me to find out I think." He smirked, knowing that that was what I was going to say. "Don't be so surprised Aria. We were together for three years which means I know you, inside out."I couldn't believe that he had the guts to still open his useless mouth to vomit concurrence to all the sins that he had committed. "Why did you do it?" I asked him, feeling the urge to attack him but decided to hold myself back."Did you think that both of us meeting each other was solely fate?" He asked, redirecting my question to the very question I didn't want to come to terms with, ever.After I had found out that he had killed my parents, I went into deep thought for days,
THIRD PERSON POVLogan looked from his Luna to Aria, unsure of who to believe."Come on, baby." Darcy said to him: "You wouldn't believe her lies, would you?" She asked him. "She's a born liar, sweetheart. A traitor." Darcy said, defending herself.Aria was indeed a traitor to Nightfang, she had lied to me. Logan thought. Besides, I don't even love her, I love Darcy, it will always be Darcy. He spoke within himself. But ever since I met Aria, she has never lied to me about anything. She was always open and kept no secrets from me. He thought, looking at Aria as she stood where she had been since she came into the room, looking at Darcy with a look of bemusement, mixed with disgust on her face.Was she really right? He asked within him."Baby, look at me." Darcy said, turning Logan away from Aria to face her. "I love you, and you know it." She said."So you didn't do it." Logan replied, finally finding his voice. "Did you, Darcy?" He inquired, staring at her."Of course not, baby." Sh
