78. You're Gonna Be Pregnant!!! Jake was the first to get up in the morning. But his expressions were far from satisfactory as he watched Aria sleeping snuggling to his Baby Yoda stuffed toy. Her eyes were peacefully shut and the hue of their makeout evidently dark on her cheeks. 'Shit!' He ran a hand to his hair, making her eyelids quiver and open. She smiled as she found his looking at her. "Jake." Her tone was achy and tired. Aria inched closer to hug him. When her hand went around his neck and he took her in quietly, he observed the marks on her skin. They looked painful. He had lost his wits last night and they made love thrice despite her bleeding somewhat harder than a Virgin would do on her first time. He had panicked but Aria assured she was good until she fell asleep in his arms. He had been cruelly hard for the other two times. Bile rose in his throat as he thought about spilling himself three times without any protection. Hotter, bitter and acrid bile. Blood siphoned
79. Does Noah also like her? When Aria stepped out of Jake's Bugatti, she instantly regretted. Her stomach fell as she observed students standing around turn to look at the Alpha's brat's brand new car he bought to school today. But what they saw was more than just a shining navy blue car."Isn't that Aria, the invisible omega girl from our class?""Oh my goddess, that's Aria with Jake Ragnar!""Hey, look, Jake's bought a new girl with him." A group of girls zoomed their eyes on Aria. "That's not any new girl. She's Aria Wright, the omega Hunter's silly daughter." "She's not really silly if you ask me. Just look at her! She's moving in Jake's new car with him and is standing in his arms, which means she's certainly dating him now." Jake kissed Aria's neck giving the girls and others a confirmation that their assumptions were not wrong. "Goodness! They sure are dating." "Did you also see Jake kiss her!" Comments from around them blazed up in the air and Aria stepped closer to Ja
80. Aria's Special Ability "Should something happen to her, I will skin you alive without blinking my eyes!""Be a man enough to take accountability for your actions, Ragnar. You triggered her anxiety with your games. I have nothing to do with her fainting."Daisy stared at the two guys still quarreling shamelessly outside the medical room. They were sent out because they were creating unnecessary chaos and noise pollution that became unbearable for Mrs. Lawrence, the humble lady who worked as a healer in the school's medical room."You have everything to do with it. Just who started it physically? You used your fucking hands first." Jake whisper-grumbled as he was warned by Mrs. Lawrence that one word from him and he would be banned from entering the medical room. He could have cared less about the freaking rules and regulations one had to follow around this boring place. But had it not been for Aria, Jake wouldn't have minded screaming and hooting around here to get perpetually pr
81. An Approaching Danger! They all turned to witness Kai striding inside with their principal and supervisor with faces so colorless that caused their eyes to enlarge. It was like the old men were sentenced to a horrible punishment timed back in ancient America for sinners while setting an example for other civilians to avoid repetition of the same crime. "You heard me right, Kai. Aria's other half of the hybrid side blessed her with the ability to see the future. I didn't believe like you all. But then she saw something yesterday and it happened to be true. I am afraid she saw something in the canteen that's going to happen... Or I should say, already happened to the alpha and beta, we can't guess." Daisy finished. To this the principal and the supervisor exchanged a mysterious look. They sided with the students and came over to talk to Aria. The seriousness of their postures and the hoarse texture of their tones said that they believed Daisy with the explanation she gave regardi
82. You Can't Come With Us She straight up went to the ground where the boys were practicing and tracked down Jake. He was standing on the field with zero enthusiasm while the others took active interest in grasping the ball from the opponents. But when he smelled Aria, his eyes came to life and a glad grin broke on his lips. Jake pretended to be interested in the game and started playing. Since it was five minutes from the break the coach had announced they were going to take, he showed his full interest. "Time for a ten min break, boys!" The coach announced. "You are born to play, Ragnar. I'm happy you joined the team." He was patted on the back as he faked appreciative smiles to the coach. Then Jake came to the stands where Aria was waiting for him. He kissed her forehead and asked if she was okay. "You play really well! Why don't you take soccer seriously?" "Nah, I'm good without it." "I want to cheer for you like those girls, Jake." She pointed at a group of girls passing
83. Danger... Everywhere. Zavier Wright peeked from behind the wall he was using to hide himself. He lifted his weapon in the air as he readied himself for a shot."Don't shoot until I say." He said. "We must catch them all together."It was reported to him that a pack of twelve rogues have taken shelter in the human dwellings around Toronto. They caused irreparable damage, however, that was not the cause why the sheriff of the region approached him and his soldiers for help. It was the increasing number of missing reports of young girls that crossed twenty-five in three weeks.The parents were mortified for their daughters as corpses of several missing girls surfaced around the woods and by the side of the empty roads in no clothes and with lots of bruises and broken bones. The sheriff was afraid the other unfounded missing girls may have met the same fate and many more following suit. That's why he approached one of the biggest wolf packs in Texas seeking help. Zavier didn't wait
84. You're Dating Who?! Zavier jumped over big rocks and stormed further like it was the end of the world. Sliding through steep land, he climbed the trees like monkeys and used the vines hanging off the trees to help his return back to the pack easier than running on the ground like a dumb person would do in his situation.The principal's words caused a cyclone to rise within him. He had to get down the van and take the route that went in the opposite direction as that of the sheriff's office. Aria was in danger, and the two overly privileged bastards who're going to take over the pack as Future leaders were to blame for the same.'You know it's not them who deserve the accusation. Aria went with them willingly.' His wolf's remark made him even angrier, which reflected in his action and he dashed ahead even more aggressively than before.First of all his daughter had unlocked her other aka the witch side. She discovered her very first superpower as a hybrid-- foresight. As much as h
85. He can't be your boyfriend! "What's wrong with him?" "Everything about him is wrong, Aria." "Name them, Dad." Aria demanded in her tearful voice. "Why don't you like Jake?" "Well for one, he is a rich spoiled brat." "That's not a valid reason." "Then maybe you'd be satisfied if I mention he is a man whore even though he's so young." He ran a disgusted scanning look up and down Jake's body. "Totally immodest, mannerless, disrespectful and full of flaws." "They don't make sense." "Then make them make sense, Aria," Zavier's high pitched voice took her off-guard. It reminded her of the old father he was to her when she was weak without a wolf. The only difference was that her old father didn't care who she was hanging with, or for that matter if she had any friends."But dad," She began only to have a hand shown to her. "I don't want to talk about it once we get home. Not ever. You better end things with him and never mention him to me again." He said. "You have five minute
123Jake's POV The last time I felt humiliated in my life was when— I clearly remember that day like it happened yesterday— I was an eight year old child and in a summer camp. My father had accompanied me as it was a condition of the camp to have at least one parent coming with their child.Mom was usually committed to pre-scheduled parties with other Lunas and was too stubborn to cancel them for a camp which she stated would be too boring for her. But I wanted to go as all my friends were going. That's when dad canceled some of his meetings, which as an alpha he shouldn't have, and came with me.The part where I felt utterly humiliated was when I was reciting the poem I've written for my father. It was a task given to all the children. We were asked to write either an essay or a poem for our parents. I wanted to outshine other kids and show that I was a future alpha, and hence, I chose to write a rhyming poem while everyone else stuck with writing an essay.And as I was extremely eag
122. "My father only loves his reputation and power. Don't worry about him. He would hardly feel bad if I left." I remarked with no expression. "But he's your father. How could you—" "You can't convince me to stay, Harry. I've made up my mind. I'm going to take them down, no matter what it costs." "Uncle Zavier will not appreciate this. I don't think he would like it if he knows you're joining the war he himself is staying away from." Harry shook his head clearly indicating that he wasn't going to take me along. It made my anger worse. I seethed and grabbed the front of his shirt. "I'm not a child anymore. I'm a warrior and this is my fight. Don't try to take that away from me, Harry. If dad wants to stay away then it is his choice. I can't leave my family to thrive alone when I know I have the ability to and I can help them win."Harry remained firm on his words but the need to get away from this pack and its people made me try harder to convince him. "You don't know what it's
121The addition she made regarding Jake made my eyes burn. I felt my limbs quivering. That all-encompassing feeling of pain washed over me again and I found myself staring at Harry, who was watching me have a battle with my wolf. "It's okay if you don't believe me, Aria. But maybe this will help you know I am not making up stories." He said as he passed his phone to me. I took it with shaking hands and played the video that was on pause. A corrosive pain shot up my spine and burst forth in my entire body. My knees gave way, and I fell on the floor. My agonized sobs bounced off the walls as I cried my heart out. I desperately wished it wasn’t true, but like every other cruel reality I’ve faced, the video was undeniably real.Jake was talking about me in the video with Kai and Neil. They were teasing him by taking my name and he rolled his eyes. They asked if it was genuine this time but Jake laughed out loud and said he wouldn't be tolerating me if I wasn't my father's daughter.I
120"Let me start from the start, Aria. That way you'll get a better idea of what I'm trying to tell you... Actually, our grandfather used to be one of the greatest and strongest Alphas of his time. He had a huge flourishing pack named Berrywood Pack. All of us were happy in our lives, and then, one day your father came to visit our pack to help us.""Rogues have always been a problem, Aria. They were a little more daring in the past than they are now. In the past, they would just pick up any she-wolf or girl child they liked and had their way with them. Or worse, pick an entire pack and threaten them to send a woman on a daily basis to them. And if their conditions weren't agreed with, they would declare war. That's why your father was invited by our grandfather to kill these rampant rogues and finish their terror forever."Harry's eyes gleamed as he went on, "None of us knew that your father would find his mate in our pack, and that it would be none other than the Alpha's Daughter,
119Aria's POVMy fingers twitched and my forearms numbed from the onset of overwhelming emotions that surged through my body. My face was tingling and my jaw had become stiff. I couldn't move my jaw, much less part it and breathe.I was desperately struggling to regain control but I felt as though I was pushed, head deep, in freezing water. And no matter how much I struggled to come back on the surface, it was futile.A point came when I fell on my side and ended up curling myself into a ball. I covered my head with my hands, my entire body buzzing with a tingling sensation.Was this death? Is this how it felt when your soul left your body?I won't know whether or not it was death because the moment I willingly closed my eyes to accept the end of my life— which I thought it was— I sensed warm arms lifting me up.My body teetered as someone held me close to a warm chest and began to walk. The foul smell of garbage began to drift away, indicating that I was being carried away to a bette
118Aria'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 o
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
