ARIA'S POV: Nothing seemed to make sense It was always one secret after another, one mystery after another I thought wolves only get one mate What could have happened to their previous mate? Am I really safe here? I blindly made my way back into the mansion, worry lines etched deep into my face Suddenly, I realized just how alone I really am in this world, nobody to complain or rant to. The world seemed so grey right then, even when I thought I had somebody I was actually alone Oh, such a pathetic soul I am I wasn't expecting to see Alpha Alexander waiting for me at the hallway entrance and he looked so pissed, the veins in his jaw were ticking and that was when I remembered that I had broken the first rule, I had left the mansion. Timidly, I walked up to him ready to apologize, "I'm….." "I need to have a word with you, follow me!" I was taken aback by the coldness in his voice, but I didn't have the time to dwell on that as he was already walking away, I practically had
Aria POV My life wasn’t always the best, it wasn’t perfect either but I was happy. Being an omega, it was unusual to be happy when everyone around despised you but I was. I let desire take the best of me and that led to my life falling apart. The fall of my life began when I chose to remove everything that had meaning to it when I rejected not just one but two alphas and not only just any alphas but the most powerful Alphas in the whole west.I was a fairly glad omega. You don’t see that a lot these days as the life of an omega was always meant to be a miserable one. That was bound to happen when you are the most hated set of people in the entire pack.That wasn’t the case for me. I wasn’t happy because I was an omega, I was happy because even though everyone hated me, there was one person who cherished me. He was an omega like me but not my mate. I was comfortable with him and with him, I didn’t need to do much.I didn’t need to be up to a certain standard. We were just enough for
Aria’s POVI thought about how my life would be with Patrick alone as rogue wolves. We would never be looked down on and for the first time, we would be equals. Being with Patrick, far away from the pack will help me forget my past. It was finally time for the celebration; the night of the anniversary. I was in my room getting ready. I didn't need to do much. I was part of the serving team. It was my job to make sure no one had an empty glass through out the night.I smiled as I stared at the flower which Patrick gave to me. I had placed it in water to retain it for as long as I could. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked as exhausted as I felt. My dark circles were worse than before and I looked too skinny. More skinnier than I was when I last checked.I sighed, zipping my dress secure as I walked out of my room. I went straight to the kitchen where everyone had something in their hands. “Where have you been Aria?” One of the ladies there snapped at me. “Madame Racheal gave
Aria’s POVWhat did she mean by that? I was 23 and I had lost all hopes of finding my mate. I was happy with Patrick. More than happy I thought to run but the more I ran, the more restless she became. “Mate” she cried out again. The smell of cinnamon filled my nose as I stopped. I looked around when I couldn’t take it anymore. I was running to Patrick initially, but this time, I turned and ran in the opposite direction. I was not giving up on Patrick. I was only finding out who my mate could be. I was curious. After waiting for so long, I had every right to be curious about who he was and why he hadn’t shown himself to me while I waited for him all these years. The more I ran and the scent became stronger, the more inquisitive I got. All of a sudden another scent hit my nose. It was an oceanic scent. Still coming from the same direction I was left wondering if my mate had two different scents. I had never had a mate before so I didn’t know what to expect. I was hungry for info
Aria’s POV “No!” I groaned as I felt the rope tighten at the back of my hand, but I didn't care about that, I was more concerned about Patrick who was limp on the ground. I knew he wasn’t dead, rather I hoped he wasn’t “Let me go!” I struggled with them even though it was unrealistic, the men who had me pinned were twice my size so I definitely couldn’t get free. They took me back to the same car that Patrick drove. I had no idea if they took Patrick too because they blindfolded me the moment they bundled me into the car. Was I being punished for running away by my pack? When they said Alpha, were they referring to the Alpha of my pack? If it was the alpha of my pack, how did he know I was escaping? I heard the car door slam and the car drove off. My hands were cold with fear and my heart unsettled. I thought of what I could offer them but I was nothing but a weak omega who they didn’t care about. Was this how my life was going to end. It was a 20 minutes drive but it was the
Aria’s POV I looked up at him, he's taking me back to midnight pack? Why? Why would he want to be seen with me? What would people say? Standing upright, he stretched out a hand towards me to help me up. I just stared at it. "Something wrong mate?" He asked "I am an omega, why would you want to be seen at a social event with me?" I whispered. He looked at me with both brows raised, as if I had just asked the world's most stupid question. But nothing seemed more logical to me at that moment. All my life I've been looked down on and told how less of a wolf I am, the mere sight of me repulsed the others and I didn't think being mated to an Alpha overnight was going to change that. And then he smirked. Alpha Alexander actually smirked! Making me see the need to explain myself better; "People will talk, they will gossip, they will_" "Now I'm curious to see who would dare speak ill about me or my mate." He countered, the smirk not leaving his face. But his words did nothing to e
Aria’s PpOV"Where's Ethan?" a hand on my upper back was enough to pull me from my daze, wondering helplessly if I had heard correctly. I turned to meet Alpha Alexander's vibrant green eyes and opened my mouth to answer, "He…h…he just left." His left brow went up at my stuttering "are you okay mate?" "yes, yes I am" I replied before subtly sliding out of his grip on my back, an action that didn't go unnoticed by him. His eyes scanned mine before lowering to gaze at my lips, travel down my neck, roam at my chest and finally coming back up to meet my eyes again, something blazed in them. A sudden wave of anxiety washing over me. The atmosphere suddenly felt too hot to breathe in. "We should go home," he said in a low voiceHome, The Midnight pack, that was his home but that would be my hell. But so was Silver moon pack. I've never really had a home.I've only had Patrick, I gasped silently, "Patrick! what of Patrick?" I actually was expecting a response but he didn't give itInst
We almost kissedWe almost kissed but then I pushed himI pushed him and I called him wickedHe looked hurt, did my words hurt him?Will he really let me see Patrick tomorrow?But what was that feeling? What was that feeling in my bones? The anticipation settling like a pool in my stomachThe unease between my legsThe speed in my breathingI had never felt like that in my life beforeIs that what having a mate does to you?I sat still in the same posture pondering these things, afraid to even move as though if I moved he would come backI sat still till I fell asleep, my mind replaying images of Alpha Alexander on top of me even in my dreamsI didn't wake till I heard someone knocking persistently against my doorIt caused me to jolt awakeIt was morning alreadyI hesitated to open the door, in a foreign environment one could never be too careful, but when I did open the door I came face to face with two scary looking guards, perhaps I found them scary because I could see the restles

ALEXANDER'S POV:I knew it would hurt her, I knew that lowlife's confession would hurt her.I just didn't know how muchI had hoped it wouldn't hurt her so much because that just goes to show how much she truly loved him, she was probably excited when the guards called her to come see Patrick only to have her fragile heart broken into a million piecesAnd now she was nowhere to be seen in the mansion, the guards said she wasn't in her room, maybe I should've gone after her the moment she ran out of the hall of judgementI hadn't expected Patrick to be a fraud either, I believed he genuinely cared for my mate, not until my guards told me that after seperating him from my mate on the day of the anniversary, he kept howling and shouting, saying we had ruined his plan and he will never see an opportunity like this againThat was when I got suspicious enough to torture the truth out of himAnd I must say it has been an exhausting ventureI slid the double glass doors that connected my room
There was great tension in the air Or maybe it was just me With clenched fists I stared at Patrick What was he apologizing for? I could smell it, I could smell that something serious was about to happen, something I might not be able to take But I forced myself to continue listening because he was still talking; “But you know Aria, you know how difficult life is for us omegas. The slavery, the feeling of never being good enough...” I stared as the tears rushed from his closed eyelids “Nothing we did mattered, and...and I just wanted.... I wanted more out of life Aria. I DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS! I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO BE AN OMEGA!” I flinched at his raised voice, but a guard used a cane to silence him on his already bloody back “Urgh... that was why, that was I why I made the decision to give you up Aria, I’m sorry...” Give me up? My heart was already shattering into pieces even before my brain could register what he was saying, “wha... what are you saying Patrick?” “There was a bount
