AriaIt's been more than a week since Quinn left, marking one month plus into my pregnancy and to be honest the hardest thing wasn't even about concealing it, it was about the changes that came with it, the sudden dislike for my favorite food and the anger issues, minimal noises flared me up, everything irritated me.I was in the kitchen trying to make a meal for myself because Amelia no longer understood my taste or probably she couldn't adjust to the new.My phone rang. I saw the name clearly stated on the screen. I kept contemplating, should I pick it up or not? I did anyways "Quinn." I muttered.Did that need a response? No"Aria." He answered."Yeah?" I replied in more of a questioning tone."I have been gone for days and you didn't even think of calling to check up on me, if I landed safely or...." Quinn complained." I knew you would."I responded not thinking twice." You could have at least called." He said." Would do better." I replied, my responses were brief and even an i

KleopatraSitting down in my office, I kept thinking about Aria.Should I help her out?Should I do it for her?But what if things go the wrong way? Another thought crossed my mind.Every second my mind kept replaying Aria's sad reaction, her pleading and desperation...I was her last hope.She didn't want to lose her marriage. She didn't want to break Zachary's own. It felt like her being selfish but I knew it was the best way she knew to protect her, Zachary and her unborn child.Maybe the truth would come out one day but now wasn't the time for it. The truth didn't belong in our present, it could only fit in our future.Yes, I would. I would help her, this one time. Get the papers ready and we forget we ever did anything dirty.A knock on my table jolted me back to reality.He was sitting down, nonchalant,legs crossed like he was my boss. I get that everyday so I wasn't surprised, rich spoilt brats who believe the world revolves around them.From across the small table, the first th

Aria "Nooo," I screamed at the top of my lungs.The creaking door stopped halfway."Alright, young Madam, I'd take my leave now." Amelia's voice rose, and I could hear faint footsteps, which meant she was already leaving."That was close." I heaved a sigh of relief. “Later,” he said, “We finish this later.” He passed the back door out.Later? I loved the sound of that. Definitely later.I looked at myself, and messy was the word for it. I ran my hand through my disheveled hair, then after I picked up my shirt and blazer, which fell to the ground and adjusted my skirt, which had moved up.I made my way downstairs after I was sure I didn't look messy."Pasta?" I questioned Amelia"Yes, ma'am." She answered.Just glancing at the food I felt disgusted and irritated. Pasta used to be my favorite food but not any longer, it made me nauseate. I dipped my fork into the plate trying to take a few spoons to atleast fill my belly a little before I start the day's work."Uhhh" I resigned, I co

EROTIC CHAPTER AHEAD⚠️⚠️RATED 18+ !!!!!AriaMorning came too soon. Zach and I didn't see each other after the awkward encounter we had the last morning of Quinn's departure, I thought he was angry but maybe not, he isn't that petty and he dotes on me too much to be angry. It was probably just the heat of the moment and it was necessary to stop the conversation.I stood in front of the dressing table in my bedroom checking myself out in front of the mirror. I buttoned my white shirt adjusting the short coffee skirt a little lower on my hips, the coffee-brown blazer hung perfectly over my shoulders. Professional. But the way it hugged my hips made me feel nothing but sexy.I turned sideways, admired the curve of my hips, the way the skirt tightened around my butt. A small smile appeared on my face.“So sexy,” I whispered to my reflection. My voice sounded soft in the quiet room. “So beautiful.”I ran my fingers through my hair one last time, letting the strands fall loose around my s

Aria"You'll miss him?" He gripped my wrist domineeringly."Let go Zach, anyone could see us." I warned"Let them." He shrugged.I couldn’t stop staring.His hand was on my waist, holding me tight. He was so handsome it almost hurt to look at him.Tall. Strong shoulders. His body filled out his top perfectly. His skin was smooth and warm like he’d been out in the sun all day.But his eyes… those eyes caught me completely.They were deep and beautiful — light brown with little bits of gold that caught the light. Long black lashes. When he looked at me, his eyes got darker, like he was hungry but trying to stay calm. He didn’t look away. He just held my gaze, and I felt naked even with all my clothes on.My breath caught in my throat.Wait a bit...the man was mine I didn't need to gaze so hard...if I needed him I would get him but then again he wasn't fully mine.“If you keep looking at me like that,” he said in a low, husky voice, “You would have to suffer the consequences, maybe s

AriaQuinn's travelling box stood by the bedside; Quinn was spraying his perfume. I knew he was prepared to leave. I slept in the guest room and woke up late, which was unlike me,I slept like a baby."Good morning," I greeted, leaning against the door.He paused, just long enough to acknowledge me. "Morning.""Last night…" I began, the word flowing out on its own: "I didn't really—""I’m about to leave," he cut in."Still angry?" I asked. Basically, thinking of it, my question was way too absurd; he was the one trying to force himself on me, and refusing him meant respect for my dignity. It was nothing to be sorry about on a second thought.He exhaled, then shook his head. "No." His gaze dropped to the floor. “I mean… I'm at fault for breaking my promise again."Ohh, so he was only being remorseful about having to leave for work again, but him trying to force sex on me wasn't worth being guilty.I studied his face, the eye bags. He looked like he hadn’t slept much but it didn't soften

AVA'S POV Kael finally came back after a week. Was I excited? No.Not even an apology and all he could do was throw some damn papers at me, leaving me no room for refusal.A cinema ticket.I planned to ask him why and what it was for but all he told me was to get ready and do the necessary.And the day came.I stood in front of the mirror checking out myself and dress, I touched my belly, a living soul growing in me, I could risk earth for it or better still protect it at the cost of my life.The sudden excitement of a baby? Yes, at least it was an additional company and after its birth I could finally feel the life of what it means to have a family."Yayyy" I exhaled excitedly, my major source of excitement wasn't about going out with him, it all laid on the fact that I could feel the fresh breath of the outdoor, locked in since my arrival into his pack, I bet even the graveyard would be more lively than his highly acclaimed mansion with no hint of liveliness, even the paintings exp

KAEL’S POV Seven days, seven nights since I stepped into my own house, I didn’t regret I should have just been careful for the baby. It's all because of the baby. With the presence of the baby, I could secure my continuity, if nothing at all, my father's legacy. Love wasn't for me. Not in the lifetime I was and not even the next. The only people who deserve to love and be loved are those who know what love means and have felt it from family. No woman can carry my child, no woman even dared to breathe in the same space as I, except Selena and Ava. “Alpha,” Jayden’s voice came calm and steady with the usual sly smile he always had on. He stepped in. It had been a week since we both spoke like friends the way we used to, I buried myself in work, 2 hours of sleep per day and just black coffee. It was just like old times before she appeared in my life. The care and tenderness I had for her were all because of the baby. She didn’t really matter, but the baby had to be sound and s

WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT AHEAD!!!AVA'S POV The room contained a variety of sex toys, whips and cuffs all arranged on the wall. As a novel addict, I was familiar with it all, sub...dom.Kael slammed the door shut behind me. My eyes went round to take in the contents of the room.Everything screamed torture.For a moment, I was terrified, while the other I anticipated."What was that with Jayden?" He took a step closer, and I took one backwards until my back hit the door."He was just being kind." I defended, rolling my eyes at him."He's my Beta, you're not allowed to flirt with him, you're mine." He warned, gripping my left arm with force."Flirt?" I scoffed. " He tucked my hair behind my ear because it was clouding my vision. Are you going to rip his arm off for a simple act of courtesy? You might be the Alpha King, but you don't own me, and you certainly do not dictate who I can speak or not speak to."His eyes blazed with fury, and he closed the distance between us, caging me w

AVA'S POVKael thought I only realized that I'm his mate through his conversation with Jayden.Unfortunately, no.I've always had my wolf with me; no one knows cause it's a fulfillment of my mother's last wish.

AUTHOR'S POV “Kael,” Ava began, clearing her throat softly. “We… we need to talk about that night.” “That night? What about that night?” He smirked, “I thought we had talked about that night, Ava. Extensively. ” “No, we didn't,” she insisted. “Not that part of the night. Not the part where you… we… You know.” Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "Then what part?" Ava took a deep breath; this was the moment. “You were there,” she stated, “You were working. As a bartender." “Ava,” he finally said, his voice gentle, “I was not a bartender.” Her jaw dropped, "What? But… but you were! I saw you! You were wiping down the counter, pouring drinks for people, you even gave me a drink." Her cheeks heat up as the memory of her drunken state came back to her mind, and she stopped speaking. "You're right about that." His smile deepened.“But you are quite mistaken about my profession that night, little one.” “It is one of my many hideouts and often… a good place to gather informat

KAEL'S POV "Selena!" I exclaimed in frustration. I finally had time to talk things out with Ava, and she was here to ruin it all, the wonderful moment we could have had if she hadn't interrupted. Selena stood in front of the door, arms folded, back against the wall. " Selena, what?" She retorted, and I detached myself from Ava's embrace. " Leave Selena," I commanded, but I knew how adamant Selena could be, she wouldn't back down, at least not easily. " Leave? No, I should introduce myself to the new toy around." Selena commented while Ava just watched both of us exchange words. " I'm Selena, and I'm his chosen mate and future Luna of this pack. I'm also the strongest warrior in the pack, and we have been together since we were kids, which implies that we are childhood sweethearts." Selena introduced herself to Ava, and I stared at her with my mouth wide open. I never for once realized that I was childhood sweethearts with Selena, not until she said we were, and that's Se
