89. Camping "Different as in how?" "Like..." She hesitated. "Have I changed?" "You did," He smiled. "But if you ask me I don't see much change." Aria turned around to look at him with her own eyes rather than at his reflection, "If we minus your bogus confidence, you're pretty much like the old Aria I've known earlier." "Bogus confidence?" Aria faked a glare. "So you think I fake confidence." "You do, Aria." Jake pinched her nose playfully. "You try to be confident but you're still shy and meek on the inside." "Is it bad?" "For me it's good. I'm glad you didn't change like most of the girls I know did after finding their wolves. And to say, you're a hybrid." His reply froze her. "You really think I am still the same?" "Of course, darling," He turned to face the mirror. "Just look at yourself. Do you see anything different about this lady here?" Aria only stared. Hence, Jake hugged her closer and said in an honest voice, "If there's anything that changed after all t
90. Invasion Aria and her friends Daisy, Christine, June, Tori, and Lora were all excited for their camping trip in the ranch during the beautiful spring season. They arrived at Lora's uncle's ranch when the sun was shining bright, and the birds were chirping. They were greeted by the rancher and her pregnant wife. Without occupying the girls for a long time, Lora's uncle guided them to the small reserved woody area for camping. It was just perfect with tall trees giving the vibe of being in a jungle. No one would believe this was just a small piece of land reserved as the woods by the rancher as a small endeavor towards keeping nature intact, and not tearing apart. "Wow, this place is amazing," exclaimed Daisy, as she looked around at the lush greenery surrounding them."I know, right? I can't wait to explore," replied Tori, already grabbing her hiking boots."Naomi and I come here all the time. You will love every second here." Said the rancher. "Here's some marinated meat for yo
91. Saved By An InchAria put a hand across her eyes to prevent a blow on the face. What hit her was a gust of wind as she heard the creatures' shuddering roar echo around her, shaking the very foundation of courage. It was followed by the sound of something falling on the ground far away after hitting something like a tree or a rock. "Aria," Her eyes flew open and mouth trembled into a relieved smile for Jake was kneeling before her, his hand going to cover the hand on her stomach. His eyes took in her bleeding stomach and anger made his eyes shine tenfold fiercer than she'd seen the silver creature's. He picked her in his arms and dropped her under a tree away from the creatures. "Wait for me here, cupcake. It won't take more than two minutes." He brushed his knuckles on her cheek and smiled between the tightness around his jaw. She beamed weakly, assuring him that she was okay. But her expressive eyes that were like two little globes of emotions gave away her agony. A sinew bel
92. Dealing with the Hunter "Before you accuse me of your daughter's injury, let me inform you Mr. Wright, that it was not caused in my presence." Jake offered confidently, yet his voice held an edge of hesitation. With the first streak of pink erupting in the sky in the morning, they settled into their cars and came back to pack. Aria bid bye to her friends. They laughed about the camping and how memorable it had become with the appearance of the creatures. It was full of adventure. Not to mention they were getting to get back home in one full piece. A few scratches and bruises here and there were okay. Daisy was escorted by Kai to her house. When Jake had turned to Aria once their friends walked away, she tried to take him in confidence that she was good to go alone. Her house was not far away, and by the grace of the moon goddess combined with the kindness of the rancher's wife, her wound was tended to. Although she felt irritated and soft pangs of spasms made her belly turn i
93. Let Me Dirty YouThe night unfolded with more surprising events for Aria. She had not anticipated her father to lay bare with all his secrets. He shared how he felt over the years, treating her worthless; and how he punished himself after giving Aria a hard and atrocious time.She found him kissing her forehead from time to time, and holding her hands to his heart. Zavier shared what she really meant to him. And that he wished to make things normal in their house and live like a happy family. Except his demons and shame had forged a wall of reluctance around him.Zavier was glad Aria gave him another chance. He ordered pizzas and lasagna from the hotel he and Stella used to visit when Aria was not born. He told her how much her mother liked to eat from there, and that majority of times during her pregnancy, she had Zavier buy ice creams and food from there.Aria rejoiced spending time with her father. He was so open with her, so enlivened, that he smiled from ear to ear every seco
94.Don't let me go Aria's breaths were caught in her chest as Jake combined their lips in a searing kiss. Her head hit back, the ache turning into pleasure. His tongue moved around her mouth before finding hers to play with it.She moaned in his mouth. Oh, this was so very satiating. His fingers went under her top to pinch her mounds. He played with her titties over her bra as he parted away to let out a husky growl."Fuck! I want you naked now or I'll go crazy." He rumbled with a breath exploding on Aria's mouth.She compliantly lifted her hands for him to remove her top. But to her shock, he yanked it in two pieces in each hand. A devilish grin cracked on his lips as he mouthed, "You're irresistible."Next was her bra and Aria clenched her teeth as the air whipped her skin. It was soon covered in a warm hold as Jake played with her."Shit, since when you became so perfect." His mouth closed on her throat while Aria suppressed a moan amidst her smile."Or were you always this yummy
95. Let's meet Noah Aria sat across from Daisy around a table laden with pots with soil and seeds. The kitchen gardening class was going in full swing, everyone enjoying it. Except Daisy sat lost in her thoughts as she lazily wavered her hand in the pot of soil.Aria noticed her and sighed, "The soil is for the seeds to plant, Daisy! Not for you to play with it. Look, you've made a mess."After Daisy reverted to the present, she flinched and apologized for spilling soil out of the pot on the table and around. She was sulking after her fight with Kai. Also afraid that he might just go back to screwing around with random girls."You shouldn't have instigated it if you care about it so much." Aria said.Aria had tried to avoid her friend and focus on the activity. It would have been more immersing if Jake was here. He liked growing edible plants and they were hoping to make a little one on the rooftop of Aria's house. He's promised to work on it with her after taking classes today.Now
96. Deceitful mate Jake! I miss you so much. I wish you were here." Happiness bloomed in her chest, replacing every trace of distress."So do I, baby. But I'm stuck here with Kai. He's annoying me now.""I am rowing through the same problem." She sighed and heard Jake sigh too."He's pissing me off a lot I'm telling you." Jake spoke. "He's worried that he's crossed his limits and that Daisy might reject him."Aria's eyes widened in surprise, "The situation is the same here. Daisy is scared because she thinks Kai will reject her. She's already crying like a lost baby.""I have a plan." Jake offered.With her shoulders relaxing, Aria asked, "To end their fight? If yes, please tell me quickly. I can't tolerate Daisy and her drama.""So you agree she's dramatic?" Jake chuckled on the link."Just tell me, Jake!""Okay, I'll coax Kai into apologizing to Daisy. I'll also try to make him get her a sorry present.""I'll see if I can get Daisy to follow suit.""Yes please, let's reunite these
