Semua Bab A Night With The Alpha King: Rejected And Reclaimed: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Aria's POVLiam stood with defiance in his posture as he glared at Knox with contempt.Knox's eyes darkened, and he made to step forward, but I quickly held his hand. He turned to me, his eyes burning with anger.“Please, just let him be,” I pleaded, begging him with my eyes. I was tired of the confrontations and really just wanted to go now.He scowled fiercely at the insolent Liam, then, with a frustrated sigh, he turned away.“Let's go. I don't have time for foolish boys,” he growled, holding my hand.However, Liam was an idiot.“No! You can't fucking waltz in here and claim her like that! I won't fucking allow it!” Liam growled venomously.Knox paused and glanced back at him, raising an eyebrow. I could hear the watching crowd murmur and whisper among themselves.“Oh, is that so? And why won't you allow it?!” Knox asked with a deadly calm voice. His gray eyes were like a thunderstorm.Liam took another step forward, his wild eyes burning with malice.“Because she's my fucking mate

Aria's POVI jolted awake with tears on my face, and I couldn't stop sobbing as the pain from the dream lingered. I had to keep reminding myself that it was just a dream, it wasn't reality.However, I felt so uncertain. With the way Knox had acted a few hours ago, was it just a dream?I blinked in disorientation as I finally noticed where I was. My eyes widened as it dawned on me that I was not in my room, neither was I in the Gray Moon pack anymore.No, this must be the Moonshadow pack, Knox's pack.I sat up slowly on the bed, as I glanced round the room. The room was so large that I couldn't even call it a room. My old room could probably fit into this one at least ten times over.The room was so beautiful and grand, but it still felt warm and inviting. The walls were painted a soft pink.Back in my old room, my bed was barely big enough to stretch out on, but this bed was so massive I could roll over four times and still not reach the edge. The mattress was so soft it felt like I w

Aria's POVIt was a beautiful female werewolf that reminded me so much of Veronica. She was tall, and she had long pale blonde hair and familiar blue eyes that stared at me with a sneer.“Yes? What is it?” She sneered, closing the door behind her.Several thoughts raced through my mind. Who was this lady? And what was she doing in Knox's office?I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. It was Shawn that replied.“She's here to see Knox, Astrid.”She lifted an eyebrow as she glanced between the two of us.“What does an omega want with the Alpha King?” She said with a slight smirk on her face, her blue eyes sparkled with mischief. I knew that she knew who I was. She was mocking me.Again, it was Shawn that replied tensely. “She's his mate, Astrid. The Luna Queen.” He said with a warning look in his eyes.Astrid looked me up and down. “Oh, really?”I pushed down the irritation that crept up at the tone of her voice.“And you are?” I asked, keeping my voice calm even with the anger I felt.He

Aria's POVI could tell that my words cut deep into him because his face fell. I ignored the pain in his eyes as I turned to leave, too furious to care.“Aria,” he called softly, but I was too angry to respond. I stormed out of his office with clenched fists and tears running down my face.Shawn was waiting by the door with a nervous look on his face. His eyes widened slightly in relief when he saw me, but he winced when he saw my face. I furiously wiped the tears off my face, and walked off. He followed me back in silence.On my way back to the room, several thoughts raced through my mind. Was this the end? Should I start preparing to leave?Immediately I got back, I waved Shawn goodbye and closed the door, ignoring his look of pity.The moment the door closed, I dropped to my knees with a heavy sigh, and held my head with my hands. I couldn't cry anymore, maybe because my tears were finished. Knox's indifference was very hurtful, but I felt like I had gone far by comparing him with

Aria's POVHe opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off.“That day with Liam—was I scared? Yes, of course I was scared. I had never seen you like that before. The way you ruthlessly beat him up… it was something else.”Knox flinched and he clenched his jaw. “Aria, I—”“I’m not done,” I interrupted, stepping closer. “But he deserved it. He was going to attack me. He kept pushing you, taunting you. So yes, I was scared, but it changed nothing between us. I still want you, Knox.” My voice was firm, but my hands trembled.He stood up, shaking his head over and over. “You don’t get it, Aria. Haven’t you seen how everyone looks at me? My own Gamma is terrified of me. This isn’t about Liam or whether he deserved it. This is about me. What I am!”“I don’t care, Knox!” I snapped, my voice rising. “I want you.”“You shouldn’t want me!” he barked, “Not with what I am. Not with what I’ve done.”I clenched my fists in frustration. Knox was just going in circles, repeating the same vague
