113. He's hurt Aria appraised them closely. Their dresses caught the light in the library, specifying they've never been off the racks of their wardrobes before this. Their hair done flawlessly in parlours and their nails painted and shaped in different ways.One of the three girls, dressed in a yellow dress, scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Aria's finally getting exposed for the trash she is. That photo of her kissing Noah had left me motionless for long minutes. How could she do that?""You're right. I was in the middle of getting my eyebrows done when that photo came. Ugh, that girl's a disgusting, manipulative liar. She thinks she's so perfect with her fake smile and her 'oh, I'm so in love with Jake' act." The second girl on the table who had the longest and pointed nails spoke with contempt. Aria moved back into the shadows behind the shelves after hearing that. She felt a jab of pain in her heart for being called a manipulative liar too. 'Don't, Aria. You just promised me that
114. No more friends from now on! Aria tried to rein in her breaths after coming to the sports ground. She held onto the railing around the sitting area and pressed her lips together. Her body wasn't helping her. She sat down in the stand and buried her face in her hands. 'Aria, you are making it more difficult for us. Do you know that?' Melody whispered in a heavy voice. As a wolf, things were already messed up for her. Her mate didn't want her. He was dating and making out with another she-wolf in the name of punishing Aria and her. There was Jake to care for them and help them get back at the fucker. But right now he was also mourning for betrayal Aria never meant to commit. It wasn't entirely a betrayal. She was forced to kiss. There were no sparks and most importantly it disgusted them both. "I can't put their words in the back of my mind, Melody. My heart is squeezing. I don't know what to feel." Aria breathed ruggedly. The sky was a deep, foreboding gray, with clouds that
115. Truth out in front of Daisy "I hate her for hurting Lana, Kai. I will never forgive her."She banded her hands around his waist stiffly and wailed. "She not only cheated on Jake and my sister but on me too. I trusted and loved her just like Lana. Why did she have to do that? She was very well versed with the fact that Noah was dating my sister. But she still kissed him." Kai chewed the inside of his cheek agitatedly. He wished to tell her about Noah and Aria being each other's mate but he bit it down. It wasn't his place to tell her. But he definitely needed to make her see some sense and not entirely blame Aria for the kiss. "Do you realize this wouldn't have happened if Aria didn't go to the old age home with you?" "What are you insinuating, Kai Sinclair? Do you want to say that I influenced Aria to do that." Daisy's voice hardened ruthlessly. "All I'm saying is that Aria isn't the only one who you should condemn. Noah is equally—" "What's wrong with you, Kai?" Daisy pus
1. The monsters from her nightmare Sapphire Blue Pack, Texas, "Aria, this is for table five." Aria nodded at her coworker as she placed the empty tray back on the counter. She just returned after delivering the orders for table fifteen and others were already waiting for her. "Yes, Mandie." There were three trays occupied with a mountain of French fries, two buckets of crispy chicken wings and five big glasses of coke floating with bubbles on the top. Painful expressions crossed her features as she looked at it. Out of all the other waitresses that worked here, she did the most work. She sighed and reached for the trays of coke and French fries and swung back to deliver them to the hungry customers. Dine and Date was among the busiest fast food centers in the pack that never went without sales in a day. There were customers flooding in all the time. The food here was tasty and mouth watering and attracted an end number of customers daily. Her pace was rushed and prompt
2. Got away by an inch Silence befell, and the crowded hall turned eerily still. Every existing soul was rendered motionless as they stared in the direction of table number five. All the gazes burned holes in Aria’s back. To say she was used to all the ignorance and cold treatment everyone gave her. As every eyeball appraised her at this moment, she prayed for the windows to burst open. She wished for a tornado to sweep her out of the room and take her away. Aria lacked the courage to face or fight them, so she did what she could to avoid their gaze! She shut her eyes tight, cutting out the sight of this nightmare. But her life was a nightmare in itself, and there was nothing that could stop this from happening. This was inevitable. Her body turned white, and she shut her eyelids tighter. Blood drained from her cheeks as Aria waited for the touch of his lips to fall on her own. Great! She was going to lose her first kiss to a bully. An undeserving, filthy bully who all but respect
3. What are his intentions? Aria occupied herself back with her work. She neared the tables with the orders, "Enjoy your order, ma'am." with a bright smile on her face. She had long forgotten that she had encountered a scenario where she had almost lost her first kiss as well as the job. Now the way she greeted her customers it did not look like she was even bothered a minute ago.She worked zealously, accepted whatever tip she received for her kindness and strode back to the counter in order to deliver the orders that were waiting to be dispatched."You are too lucky, bitch! I heard the alpha's son barely helps anyone or takes any action against anyone, but he did for you. What exactly did you do in the morning before starting your day? Do tell me as I need the same luck. It has been a long time since I last got laid with an upper class hot wolf." Her twenty two years old, kinky and curvy coworker, Jennifer uttered as she leaned on the counter, her eyes looking in the direction of
4. The magazine.Enjoying the view as the sun sat half above the horizon spreading orangish hue on the land and building, Aria merrily walked by the side of the street with a happy smile.She got a tip of a hundred dollars and that was like the biggest she ever got in a day. The money was going to be used for new magazines as she loved them and the pictures they held. Precisely the pictures of... Shhh, it is a secret.Aria maintained her smile, her long pony tail swung left and right like a pendulum in force as she hopped happily. A lot of things happened today. Her co-workers who never spared her a glance spoke nicely with her today. They offered her to have lunch with them and the manager allowed her to leave before the end of her shift. All of these happened because of Jake. Coming from a low class also brought about a lot of drawbacks and barriers that she faced since her childhood. And she was overwhelmed to know that a small encounter with Jake would make her popular in the re
5. Our paths clashed again, Aria.Shit, the magazine!Aria looked at it then at the shelf. She was bloody standing near the shelves holding Star and Sunshine. Goosebumps erupted across her skin as he was approaching the same shelves for the magazine she couldn't afford to get caught.'What do I do? I don't want him to see me with this magazine.'She nipped at her lips in utter distress. Her palms sweated and cheeks started turning crimson. Aria froze in her spot rather than bailing out for she was lost in the maze of his eyes.He was standing by the counter, the shop owner merely affected by his presence. Jake had a frown on his face and his lips twisted from time to time while he complained to Kai about how the magazine and its articles were affecting him; nonetheless his charm never declined."You should see my whatsapp!" Jake hissed."It is flooded with messages from random girls. I feel like my number has been leaked. Just look at the mass messages I have received ever since the l
