Aria's POV"I don't care." I huffed, putting my bag on the dressing table while I removed my other accessories."Your face says otherwise, but if you say you don't, I believe your words." Quinn raised his hands up, defenselessly."No babe, but warn your mother to back off," I said sternly."Today, you started it first." He untied his shoelace."Well, you've always supported her even when she starts the fight," I pointed out to him."You both are important to me, but I plead with you for peace, dear wife." He looked into my eyes."Fine, suit yourself, same as your mother." I snapped, stepping away from his front. When I realized he was no longer looking and was occupied with whatever was on his phone, I hurried away, off to Zachary's room.Yes, the same one he shares with Athena. Athena was busy downstairs with her newfound wife, so to say."Zach," I called out, gently closing the door behind me to avoid drawing attention to us."Zach," I called out again when I got no response the fir

Athena POV I was about to eat when a young lady stepped in with Daniel, the driver Aria caught me with followed behind her with a luggage box. I recognized her almost immediately. She was the young lady I saw featuring on the TV with Quinn during his trip overseas. My heart lifted right away. "Oh my God," I exclaimed. "It's so nice to meet you." I opened up my arms for a hug. She moved closer and embraced me. "Likewise ma'am. You're Quinn's mum right?" She asked with a smile. So polite. The kind of girls I like with my son. Beautiful and a good wife potential. Not one who does everything in her might to outshine my son. "Yes Sweetie." I nodded, I realized Daniel was still standing there. "Take her luggage to any of the rooms closer to my son's room. Stand nearby cause I'll be needing you for some task." I winked at him. It's been so long since we did it. "How was the journey?" I gestured for her to have a seat. "Not so bad. I had no idea you were around but I've some newl

Athena POV "We? No, please count me out of this." she said, crossing her legs. I stared at her with frustration. "You're a coward." I said. She looked straight into my eyes."Just because I don't want to get my hands covered in blood because of you doesn't mean I'm a coward, it simply means I'm learning what it means to put myself first and consider consequences before acting." she retorted. "Whatever makes you happy." I responded. I shifted on the seat, in my mind, I was already calculating my moves, and how to go about my plan, because it definitely had to be successful. She leaned forward a little, "What's now your plan? How do you want to go about it?" she asked. "It's none of your business, don't get your mind dirty." I snapped. She sighed, and all I could see in her eyes was pity and that was one thing I hated a whole lot, pity in her eyes like I was some charity case, she can't help but feel pity for, "Don't you think you should go? Even if you spend an eternity here, he

Aria POV "I'm giving you the four months, to sort this out, four months to decide whether it's me you want or not, I can't keep doing this with you, it's unfair to me." he said, then brought down one hand and shoved his phone into his pocket. I reached out, circling my fingers around his chest, his hand pushed mine back a bit. "Baby." I called out, I pulled my hand back slowly. "The prenup or whatever you claim is binding you together, I don't care." he fumed. I watched his face. "Calm down and listen to me at least." I played with my fingers. "Please, just hear me out," I added "I'm not doing this with you, when you know what you want, then come for me." He responded and moved back. "But you said you're giving me four months to figure things out, don't do this." I whined. "I still am, getting to understand you is so hard, one minute you're acting like you're choosing me and the next time next you're all tangled up with him." He sighed, I saw frustration in his eyes. "Stop b

ARIA POV My phone kept buzzing on the table for hours. Messages poured in from friends and colleagues, all saying the same things. They called my marriage perfect. They said they looked up to us. They wanted what we had. If only they knew the truth. Our perfect marriage was shattered inside, broken in ways no one else could see. The intense kiss I shared with Quinn at the cinema had gone viral. I never thought about his obsessed fans always watching. Or maybe Mikasa had something to do with it. But it did not feel like her. If she did it, why? To push more attention into our marriage? Or what exactly. Mikasa? She stormed her feet in anger and walked away, when she realized that her threats weren't working on me. The look on her face? How I wish it could have been recorded. "The blogs are literally going crazy with just one picture of hers," Quinn grinned as he looked at his screen. "I can see that too," I responded absentmindedly. My fingers tapped the phone, but my eyes did not

ARIA POVI never should have said yes to this date with Quinn. If only I had listened to Zachary . Now here I was, stuck pretending everything was okay when it definitely wasn't.Maybe I could have a faked a stomach upset, he would have at least believed me and rescheduled the shitty date.The movie continued, but I barely followed it. “How long is she staying?” I asked, keeping my voice flat.“A week or two,” Quinn answered, like it was only a few hours. He reached for more popcorn, his arm brushing mine.“Alright.” I said nothing else, I cared less anyways.He turned his head toward me. He raised his eyebrows in questioning, “Just that?”What else could I say? It was his house. He could invite anyone he wanted. He had done it before with Athena and Zachary without checking with me first, he only informed me about their time of arrival.So what was there to say?“Just that,” I said . I shifted away from him, pressing my back against the cushion. I stared at my laps the entire time.

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

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

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
