All Chapters of Aria's Legacy: The FiveFold Mate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

By the time Elizabeth and I got to the scene, it seemed the drama had died down. We came just in time to witness Orion and his friends leaving with expressions that all spelled 'trouble.’ "Uh, dang it! We missed all the tea." Elizabeth complained beside me. However, I ignored her as my eyes trailed around the scene. My Nightshade wolf, the one that seemed drawn to Sylvain, was howling repeatedly inside my head, making it hard for me to concentrate or do anything. 'Our mate! He's here!' she hollered. At that same moment, a cold shiver, like an electric shock, surged through my body. My instincts screamed at me to turn back and I did just that, just in time to spot Sylvain standing behind me. However, when I turned to face him, my mouth ended up getting too close to his. I gasped but then held my breath as we stared at each other like we were in a trance. Once again, it felt like time had stopped and nothing apart from the fine man in front of me existed. But eventually, Elizabet

(Warning: Mature content Ahead! Not too explicit.)After school, I put a lot of effort into preparing for Sylvain's eventual arrival tonight. We'd chatted on the phone and agreed that he'd come around 9 pm. I was currently in my room, picking out something to wear. I glanced at the clock."Shit, it's already eight PM." I blurted as I hurriedly searched through my wardrobe. 'What about this!' I asked my Nightshade wolf mentally when I picked out a dress that I thought looked stunning. However, her response was negative. "Nope. It's too big."Big?I walked up to my mirror to see it for myself. I placed the dress in front of me and scrutinized it closely. I couldn't see what my Nightshade wolf meant by calling it 'big' at first, but it didn't take long for me to eventually spot it. "Dang, you're right." I sighed in frustration, flinging the dress on my bed. I ended up crashing on the bed, ignoring the slight headache that affected me soon after. "Don't give up so soon. You still hav

"So, now what? If I have to express my emotions and I don't know how to, what can I possibly do?" I asked, the frustration in my chest only increasing with each passing minute.Ravenna brought her nails close to her face, cleaning off the imaginary dirt underneath them. "Well, I'll advise you to be patient in your interactions with Aria. Do less talking and more listening. That way you can mirror the emotions she shows and maybe learn from them to become more... Vulnerable yourself." She spoke simply. That should be easy, I was a great listener. I rarely spoke unless when I had something that I really needed to say. However, Ravenna wasn't finished and continued. "Also, I'll suggest you open up and quit out-vamping other vampires. Learn to trust Aria too and loosen up and quit being so stuck up." She seemed a bit bitter when she said all that.I arched an eyebrow, giving her a questioning gaze. As much as I valued our friendship and bond, her words were becoming too insulting."I t

As soon as I voiced my question, Aria paused in her tracks. I'd gotten in front of her so I paused as well when I noticed her hesitation.I turned my head to scrutinize her face under the white light of the lanterns lining up the compound here and there. However, she looked away and sighed. "Do you really want to hear all that? I mean, no offense, but you're old. Or at least, that's what you said." She shrugged before adding. "Would you be able to understand the relationship dilemma of youngsters like Orion and me?"I arched an eyebrow when she finally turned her gaze to me, her eyes flickering with hesitation. "Seriously? Just because I'm 'old' doesn't mean I can't relate to your problems. Especially because we're..." I paused, taking a few steps closer to her until I was just a few inches away from her. I brought my hands to her hair, my eyes searching her face before I completed my statement. "... Connected."Her heartbeat increased just then, but her eyes were still locked on mi

ARIA***After the horrid and oddly erotic dream, I woke up and realized something shocking.My Chaos wolf was active! After so long, I could finally feel her beyond just 'existing' inside me.However, she was quite the snub, even more than my Rogue and Mystik wolves."Come on, Chaos. Say something." I groaned dramatically, pleading with the unruly wolf to talk all to no avail.Realizing that getting her to speak would get me nowhere, I sighed before glancing at the time.Shit, it was almost nine PM! That was the time Sylvain and I agreed to meet. In a panic, I got up and rushed to my wardrobe to get something to wear. I'd picked out a lot of clothes before I slept off, but my Nightshade wolf who seemed the most enthusiastic about this 'date' with Sylvain, disapproved of all of them.However, my eyes caught an outfit just then. It was a black jeans trouser that looked like it was going to be really tight, as well as a long-sleeved shirt with a round neckline.I picked out the clothe
