56. Training With Flash
I zoomed in my eyes on the bird and felt it staring back at me. As if she was giving me a challenge to come and get her— if only I could. But when it was released, I realized my father wasn't joking about the bird. She really vanished from my eyesight.
One moment she was there than in the other moment she wasn't. It took me five minutes alone to get used to her speed and crack through her efforts of fooling my eyes. I can see her moving her wings at a crazy speed. It was like her wings had frozen in the mid air and barely shaking under the pressure of winds. When she moved around in the atmosphere, her movement took after a stroke of paint on the canvas.
When I scrutinized her further, it was as if her movement bore resemblance to the tail of a comet when it falls.
"Don't just look at her, Aria," Dad's voice jerked me out of my shocked standstill. "Go after her. See, there she goes in the woods." I ra
57. Is It Too Hard To Compliment Me, Dad?"You were not terrible." He said. "Most of them who trained with Flash broke their hands or legs during their first training."My heart almost fell apart. I smiled at him and looked away to admire the vividly beautiful shapes the clouds made in the sky."I expect more out of you though." That was all he said before walking away with Flash. He stopped for a second to tell me to go home as he would see me at Lunch after dropping Flash to the training academy to her lavish cage she was gifted by the alpha for her outstanding work. I saw him leave and a heavy feeling slithered my chest.'That was the best compliment you received from him so far, Aria. Well done!' I smiled serenely at my wolf's attempt at elevating my mood."Melody, I am so glad I met you." Was my reply.I am truly grateful to have her. Because she is there to praise me and pick me up from the mo
58. Revenge on mate "Yeah, right." His shoulders stiffened and he let out that deep heave that he releases only when he is being honest with me despite our feverish relationship, and him being icy-cold to me. "I am happy you found your wolf but... I still feel like you're caught in a problem when you come home late post your training." I smiled and dropped my eyes to the lobster. Dad allows me to stay out for a while after my training sessions. During this time I wander about the pack and try to clear my head of all the stress I put on it during my labor and ease my body. This reminds me of my meeting with Noah. It was our first meeting after finding my wolf. Melody was so crazy at him that she compelled me to punch him in the nose and call him a pup. Noah had hissed and tried to get a hold of me but this time it was my reflex that made me throw him against a wall and show him a middle finger. He left me that day like a cruel step-mother that doesn't want a daughter to the gree
59. Not your old Aria!"You look...." Aria held her breaths as well as her heart as she waited for her father's honest review regarding her new makeover. "... better than the old Aria."He assessed her again. The gray off-shoulder top with spaghetti strings and the high-waist loose pants were looking great on her. Aria has done her hair in a high ponytail with pink gloss and some mascara on her face. He's never seen her in makeup before, but now as he absorbed her grandiose features, it dawned on him that his daughter was actually very good looking. His gaze lingered on the gold locket around her neck, making her graze it with her fingers. He noticed Aria has done her nails in a nude shade too. She appeared like a perfect young lady. He admired her for taking interest in jewelry and makeup as other girls. For the first time Zavier noticed that she was so beautiful. (Aria's new look) "You look pretty." He finally admitted. Aria gave a big toothy grin and looked away in shyness. Th
60. First LectureAria was not looking straight as the images of her dad blessing her with a fatherly kiss dominated her thoughts. As a result of which, she collided with someone. Both her and the person she bumped with fell on the ground."Ouch!" She heard as she went about picking her phone from the ground."Can't you look straight?" Aria observed a girl was dusting a hand at her elbow.Sunrise gold, straight, and waist length long hair tumbled over her shoulders. She was smooth brown with thick eyebrows and thin lips. A girl relatively a couple of inches shorter in height than Aria. She looked new."I am sorry. I didn't see you." Aria delivered in her soft tone."That I perceived by the force of the collision." The girl said, her voice edged with irritation."I am extremely sorry. It's my first day after a long leave so I intended to not be late for the first class."Aria helpe
61. A Lifetime Reminder! "Such a nasty wh*re!" Aria gritted her teeth as she tried not to look in that particular corner where Jake was sitting with Veronica.The bitch was sitting behind him. Her high heel sandal was abandoned under the desk as she rubbed her foot up and down his legs from under the desk, giving it light caresses. Jake didn't seem to care as he focused in the class.The start was full of tremors but once the Principal cleared the misunderstandings as to how she was mistakenly detained and all the other things as spiced up rumors, she was relieved to see a welcoming light in the eyes of her classmate.They didn't bother her or looked at her with itching curiosity when she took a seat in the back of the class behind an empty desk. Her father left her with a small smile as if saying 'Good luck' with the Principal. After that it merely took fifteen minutes to settle in.The professor was behaving neutrally. The students were being themselves as some paid attention in
62. It's not over yet.Lana stuck closer to Noah, who seemed to have lost his wits. They witnessed Aria giving a kick in Veronica's side of the waist. "Don't you dare mess with me again." She flared her hair in Jake's frozen face not before giving Noah a deathly look.While everyone in the classroom clenched their teeth in agony at the scraped flesh of the Butt of Veronica, Aria dashed out and came to the library. She deposited her bag on the desk and sunk in her favorite chair in the corner of the room away from the entire place. Throwing her head in her hands, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply to bring herself in control.'Well, I won't say I am disappointed since you didn't let me out. I'd say I'm freaking proud of you for teaching that witch a perfect lesson that she deserved.' Melody spoke to her.However, Aria didn't feel what she did was right. She was not the type of person who'd hurt someone against the hurt they cau
63. Goodbye For Good! Jake never felt this intimidated before. And across whom? A girl! He stood consciously under Aria's scrutinizing gaze as he threw sharp and venomous daggers at his friend holding his hand."Let go." Jake said severely."Come on, don't be ridiculous. There's no way you are leaving it whatever that is you have between yourselves unfinished." Neil jumped in their conversation while Aria gaped at them curiously."Stop it." Jake eyed them.Neil refused to listen to him and faced Aria, "He's my best friend and I care for him more than my mate. So Aria, there's something you need to know about him." Jake tried to pull him away. "All this while whenever we bullied you, it was done on Jake's insistence.""What?" Aria's eyes were sharp and assessing."Jake made us do it… so that he could come and be the savior of your life. So you noticed him." He turned to shrug at Jake. "
64. GriefWhen Aria punched that out, Jake never assumed she would abide by her words. Because after that conversation with Jake, she never spared him a look. Ten days down in their lives, and she had still not looked at him. She didn't have any time to look at him provided that she made friends and they kept her entertained. Kai's mate, Daisy, was one of them. She disliked Kai and the gang of his bully friends. She was a feminist and the talks of Kai and his notorious friends led her to maintain distance from him. No matter how much Kai attempted, she found a way to ignore and piss him. When Daisy perceived Aria had problems with the same boys group, she quickly became friends with her. Then there was Patty, a girl from the preceding grade aka their junior. The little nerd was being pestered by the boys of her class when Aria found her. This led to expansion to her friend circle, and now she had three other shy nerds from Patty's grade. Aria did not feel ashamed hanging out with j
