Semua Bab A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Aria's POV“Oh no, oh no,” I muttered under my breath, panic surging through me as I scanned left and right for an escape. I needed a miracle to get me out of here.Last night with Knox had filled me with happiness, but I was still painfully aware of the sneers and pointing fingers this morning. So, I had decided to avoid them as much as possible. I didn’t want anything to steal my joy.Liam and I had paused as we stared at each other from the opposite sides of a deserted hallway that was rarely used, which was exactly why I had followed it – to keep my distance from the others.Unfortunately, my decision had brought me to this horrible situation – face-to-face with my ex-mate, Liam Reed. Liam began walking towards me with a determined look in his eyes.Immediately, I whirled around and began walking back the way I came. I would rather face the pointing fingers and the sneers a million times than see Liam again.“Aria!” He called with a plea in his voice.I ignored him, and increased

Aria's POVToday was Knox's last day in the Gray Moon pack, and that meant that it was mine also. Excitement flooded through me at that thought, and I snapped my eyes open.Knox squeezed himself by me, and was sleeping soundly. It never ceased to amaze me how he could sleep on my awful bed after being used to so much luxury.“Good morning, Knox.” I greeted him when he finally blinked his eyes open.He grinned the moment his gaze landed on mine, and his eyes brightened.“Good morning, little angel.” He murmured huskily.“How was your sleep?” I asked softly.His grin widened. “The best,” he replied, his gaze never leaving mine.His eyes gleamed with amusement when he saw my doubtful look. But I didn't say anything about his words.He stood up from the bed, and began putting on his clothes, while I sat up on the bed, and feasted my eyes on his naked body with a thrill.“You know,” he started with a dark voice, “If you keep on looking at me like that, I won't be leaving here anytime soon.

Aria's POVLiam gaped at him in disbelief. “Wh… What? I… I don't understand. Why?” He stammered.Knox didn't reply. He just stood there with an unflinching gaze. It was Alpha Maxwell that repeated the question.“Knox, what do you mean?” He asked in obvious confusion.“You told me the first day I came here that I could pick any female I wanted,” Knox replied.Maxwell furrowed his eyebrows. “Yeah, but you said you weren't interested. I've always made that offer to you whenever you come around, but you've never been interested.”Knox shrugged nonchalantly. “Well, now I am, and Aria is who I'm interested in.”Maxwell looked at Knox oddly. “But isn't she too young for you? She's more in Liam's age group. I can get you someone more experienced and mature,” Maxwell urged.I hid a snarl at that suggestion. Rhea, my wolf, growled lightly. Knox was our mate. How dare they?Knox's gaze did not waver. “There will be no need for that, brother. I want Aria.”Liam shook his head frantically. “No, pl

Aria’s POVKnox had gone back to his room in the pack to prepare for his departure, and I prepared for mine also, as I gathered the little miserable belongings that I had in my room. As I packed, I felt no sadness or sense of loss. All I felt was excitement and anticipation. I couldn't wait to be free from this place.Someone knocked on the door of my room, and I furrowed my eyebrows in thought. Who could it be?It couldn't be Mama Felz. She never knocked. It couldn't be Knox. He wouldn't knock, because he knew he didn't need to.I felt a sliver of fear as I wondered if it was Liam, who was back for revenge.“Who is it?” I called, making sure I kept my voice steady.“It's me.” A familiar voice replied—Claire.I paused. What was Claire doing here? After all those things she said the last time, what else was she here for?I reluctantly opened the door, and I stood in front of the door frame with a cold expression on my face. Claire had a somber expression on her face.“What do you want?

Aria's POVWalking back to my room became a daunting task. As the news had spread, the pointing fingers and sneering looks were worse this time.I could hear the whispers of ‘whore’ left and right. A few female pack members had asked me the same question that Claire had asked me with fake smiles and laughs.I understood why they thought that way. There was no other reason that the Alpha King would want me, if not to be his whore. It made sense in their eyes, but it still hurt because it wasn't true. I didn't want them to get to me, but it was impossible.Immediately I got to my room, I quickly closed the door, and leaned my forehead against the door with a sigh.Even though we had both agreed to keep our status as mates secret for security purposes, a small part of me was tired of the drama of always hiding my mate from people.“This sucks.” I muttered to myself. Thank the goddess we were leaving today because I wasn't sure I could bear another second in the Gray Moon Pack.The hairs
