Her father is so bad ☹️☹️ Aria has no decent male in her life. Let's see what the future holds for her. Do vote and comment. 😊 Xoxo
30. Unwanted Visitor Her heart bled. At this point, Aria wanted him to gather her in a hug and shush soothing words in her ear. She wanted one of those fathers we see in the novels, who would not hesitate to split the earth into hundred thousand sections if it brought their bullied daughter her justice. She wanted a father whose one glare would make all the bad guys hold their wet pants and scram away. Too bad that she got a father like him. He was as cold as the glaciers. Sometimes she wondered if she was really his daughter or one he stole from an enemy to get the scores settled with him. "I can't believe you are mine, Aria!" She could not believe it either. She looked down. "I would have done without a child you know. But your mother intended on keeping you. She killed herself for a weak thing like you." His words staggered Aria, still she stood there paralyzed. "The expression that I'm ashamed of you does not sum up my disappointment entirely. And I am kind of glad your
31. Jake, No! Jake closed his eyes with a disbelieving shake of his head. When he realized that Aria skipped school today, he could not resist the urge to come here and meet her. He wanted to see her, talk to her, and give the medicines he exclusively had his family doctor aka the pack's senior doctor write for her after he thoroughly described her head injury. Even the doctor was curious that Jake, the most selfish guy in the pack, was doing something for someone he merely defined as a classmate. Jake didn't know why he was doing this but he just could not stop the urge. Not after he spent the entire night restlessly, waiting for the morning to jump in so he can meet and talk to her. But now this. His fingers closed at his sides as he tried to suppress his rising fury, "Aria, please listen to me." He can hardly remember anyone giving him this kind of treatment. But there was something about this girl that attracted him. Earlier his wolf was against him chasing her. Over the c
32. Aria In Hospital "I genuinely felt something for you, Aria Wright." He constrained her wrists beside her face. Aria's stomach vanished. She didn't feel like she had her lower body with herself. All sorts of fearful thoughts struck her mind and she prayed to the moon goddess to raise her up without acquiring any physical pain. The worst feeling for a girl should be this-- pinned on the bed by the guy she assumed to be perfect and her Mr. Right. Also the one who was her first kiss. Second, too. Aria hated herself for even falling in love with him. He was not worth it. And what he was about to do with her made her abhor herself even more. On the other hand, Jake's teeth hurt from tight gritting. He was forced to do this. She made it happen with her annoying behavior. He loved the acquiescent and shy side of her. It was what he was drawn to. As Jake stared at her, his mouth twisted distastefully. She was not the girl he felt for. "And this is the last thing I wanted you to feel
33. Jake's Gone! Aria was overwhelmed when she found herself on a hospital bed wearing a boring and itchy blue gown. There was a needle attached to the back of her left hand and a few machines beeping beside the bed."Don't wriggle, Aria,." She heard a voice coming from the extreme corner of the ward. "Your movements will cause you pain in the hand." "D-dad," Her father was settled in a couch with his eyes staring coldly at the floor.The memories from her bedroom when her father walked into her room and that she fell slammed into her mind. She felt all sorts of uncomfortability and no matter how serious her father sounded, she sat up straight. Her eyes burned and the heat of terror in her face made the machine beside her beep loudly. Mr. Wright lifted his gaze and then himself. Her blood pressure was escalating. Knowing that his words are not going to help her settle down, he rushed out of the ward and returned with doctor Patrick. "Hey Aria, you are absolutely fine. There is no
34. Don't pretend to be niceFive minutes later doctor Patrick walked out with a bitter look on his face. His eyes indicated his irritation and that Zavier was an ungrateful father, who did not deserve Aria as his daughter. More than that, he was dumbfounded that he never managed to assess the softness in her eyes everytime Jake was mentioned. She was probably in love with him. But her father and his coldness only meant one thing-- A big no to their relationship. Patrick held onto his white coat to prevent himself from punching the hunter in front of him. As long as he's going to be here, Aria will never recover. There was only one way to help her. It was that her father must be prohibited from seeing her as long as she was here. Patrick did just that. "You are not allowed to see Aria unless she's ready to leave here." The senior doctor was prepared for a verbal fight, which never came. Maybe her father knew that it was better if he stayed away from his daughter if he wanted her to
35. Don't Touch Me "Your father won't like it if you turned down my help, Aria." He said softly but the creases around his mouth showed he was here just to play with her.Aria shook her head again and turned to look out of the window at the passenger's side. "You can take my corpse out once I am dead.""Unfortunately," She was not expecting that coming. "You are not dead which leaves me with only one choice."She avoided the enchanting huskiness in his voice. She may not be a werewolf, the pull of the mate bond still affected her. Something tickled on the left side of her chest. There was hot burning all over her skin. She pulled up the sleeve of her top only to find erected goosebumps. This was his effect on her.Irrespective of how much she wished to go away, her body showed contradicting signs. He noticed them too. Hell, Aria inhaled a deep breath and prepared herself to crawl to the passenger's seat. As it is rightfully said that, when one door closes, God opens another door for
36. Angry AriaNoah was usually known as the easy going guy. The training he obtained taught him to be patient and take every situation easily with a calmed mind. However, he didn't know what went wrong around Aria at that moment.For a change, he was fascinated to see her speak so much. She was standing for herself. She was picking her chin high and talking her heart out. But the unrelenting heat her words caused could not be measured. It was intense and it shot up straight to his cock, causing short-circuit in his system. It was so triggering that he wanted it to stop and he didn't think there was any other way than kissing her mouth that could help. This was wrong. So very wrong. Her father and his own would not appreciate him for this at all. She just got discharged from hospital and instead of helping her settle down nicely, he was kissing her. Aria moaned in his mouth. It was not the type of moan he appreciated as it was bordered on anger and pain. He can imagine what she woul
37. Waste Of Time “He could have provided us with more information, Jake!” His father seethed angrily and snatched the bag of sack from his hands.Jake responded to it with a roll of his eyes and a straight face taunting smile, “As if he was scared of your rage, sir. If he had more to share then he should have done it long back when we abducted him from his hideout.”“That still does not give you the right to kill a rogue like that, Jake Ragnar. You will never become a good alpha if you continue behaving in that manner.” Jake suppressed his rising anger and turned away.His father was not helping him at all. The reason for coming here was to get a break from Aria’s thoughts. She haunted his thinking and everywhere he looked he saw her face. Her tearful eyes and that complaining gaze bothered him so much that when he heard his father talking with one of the wolves about going on a hunt to gather some information from a rogue, he insisted and convinced his father to join them.Alpha t
119Aria's POVAfter leaving my house and Kai and Daisy in it, I rushed into a dark alley to cry my heart out. I was in pain I couldn't narrate. My heart was hurting from Jake's ignorance while my body vibrated from the after-effects of my mate's force used on me. My life went from bright to dark overnight. I was made to pay for a mistake I didn't even commit. My wolf was howling for respite. We both needed some rest. All these hours we tolerated since the morning has taken a toll on her. However, we refused to relax. Not now. Not when our eyes were blazing with the fire of revenge. Melody and I have vowed to not sit quiet until we settled scores with Noah Rhodes. That bastard caught us off guard. He attacked me when I was not prepared. But now my veins were fueled with aggression, my limbs aching to fight back. My mind was compelling me to use all the tricks I have learned from my father through intense training. I moved in the darkness as I made my way to Noah's house in search
117"How dare you play such a trick on me?" Noah's voice bounced off the walls. He picked up Aria from over the broken bed and clutched her hair tightly, making her wail. He pulled them in a merciless joke as his canines surfaced. His muscles convulsed in fury as he brought his face closer to Aria, "It was Jake's idea, wasn't it? He asked you to do this to trouble me.""Aah!" Aria's body was a huge ball of pain. She tapped on his wrist so he would let go. Alas, enraged like an uncontrollable bull, Noah tossed her across the room again. Aria fell on her weak study table, crushing it under her. She hissed with thick tears streaming out of her eyes as a pointed piece of wood pierce her inner thigh. Noah didn't show any pity as he raised her by her hair again. Her scalp ached as a thousands brightly blinking stars burst across her vision. "I detest Moon goddess for mating me with a gold digging whóre like you. You are despicable and..." His words faded out as Aria's senses spun into
116Aria walked on the quiet road on light feet. She was feeling cold and had to wrap her arms around herself. The winds were piercing into her skin and the dust it carried swirled around her. She shuffled her feet ahead with teary eyes as she wondered where to go.She just returned from the club she heard the girls mention in the library. It turned out that Jake left an hour before she reached there. Then she went to his home, the alpha mansion. Unfortunately, there were a dozen expensive cars lining outside the mansion. The alpha probably had visitors, and thus she couldn't gather up the courage to walk into that house while powerful people occupied it.There could be one, if not all, disliking her father. She was too frightened to appear in front of any such person who could take a dig at her to humiliate the most feared hunter in the pack. That being said, she left without meeting Jake.Now as she started her walk to nowhere, she reminiscenced the times she spent with Jake. He had
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
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
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
112. Craving for Jake Aria was clueless. Her mind was a maze covered with fog and her heart running wildly like an out of control stallion in her chest. She blinked her lashes to clean the mist of tears, except the burn remained. It made the back of her eyes throb while her throat became thick.She was unable to breath, her skin growing hotter and hotter, the rush of adrenaline becoming intense. She tried not to hyperventilate but the event that just transpired, the pushes she tolerated, the malice she detected in her one and only best friend's eyes along with the condemnation she saw in Kai's expressions, it was difficult not to.Aria walked on light feet, too afraid to make a noise. Her heart throbbed everywhere in her body. Her fingers twitched and her toes curled in her shoes. She took small and unnoticeable steps towards the library while she attempted to walk by the wall to avoid curious eyes. She was majorly on the receiving end of hostility at the moment. But her luck gave h
111. Go away, Aria! "K-kai," Aria blinked her teary eyes as relief washed over her.Kai was Jake's best friend. As much as he was faithful to Jake, he respected her. Aria had this feeling that Kai would hold her trembling frame— like the nice guy and good friend that he was— and wipe her tears.Unfortunately, the moment she rushed towards him on her shivery legs, he bared his canines for her to see as his warning."K-kai?" Aria experienced a brief moment of cardiac arrest, watching Kai give her that look.He sized her up with eyes clouded with anger and drawled grimly, "I am ashamed of myself for liking you, Aria. How could you do this?"Aria fought to breathe. Dragging in a series of sharp, gasping breaths as she struggled to maintain eye contact. The world around her has turned to a blank space. She saw nothing. She noticed nothing. She could hear nothing except for Kai's angry heartbeats and his breaths coming out heavily as he struggled to keep his fury in control. "Jake loved y
110. Go back to dirt Aria came back home. She realized that she was all sweaty and jittery the minute she sat down on the couch in the living room. Her face was scorching from Noah's touch, her lips bleeding from too much biting.To say he was her mate, but nothing about the kiss made her stomach drop. It only distressed her. It felt like hot, hot boiling water was poured on her.Getting up, she quickly darted inside the restroom and removed her clothes. She stood under the cold water and put her hands on the wall of tiles as she slumped her head, breathing ruggedly.She felt disgusted. Her lips felt violated. Tremors billowed up her spine as Aria vigorously rubbed her lips to wash the touch of Noah's lips.It felt like she cheated on Jake, and the feeling pressed down on her.Aria came out and put on Jake's tee that he happily gave to her. Like those girlfriends who relished wearing their boyfriend's t-shirts as night dress in novels, Aria wanted to recreate it. Thus she requested
