Aria’s POVWith Elijah, it was when he touched me, the mate bond would drive me insane. With Ryan, I only had to look at him and it was sending my senses into overdrive. I just hoped he would stay downstairs. Sex was not part of the deal. I only agreed to let him mark me. I wanted to believe what Tala was saying, I wanted to trust that she was right. That Ryan’s mark would remove Elijah’s and maybe, just maybe, there would be less poison of his in my body. Maybe I would get to live a long and happy life.“Aria, we need to talk about this.” He calls up the stairs, his voice almost irresistible.“Nope!” I slam the door, trying to keep some distance between us as the sound of his footsteps climb the stairs.It had happened before. I hadn’t been able to control myself, my own body had betrayed me and it couldn’t happen again.Come on, where is your sense of adventure?‘I don’t need any more adventures!’ I snap at Tala as I try to level my breathing out. Controlling my thoughts. Clenchi

AriaIt went against everything that I had promised myself as he pressed his lips against mine once again. His hands tugged at my clothes.“Stop Ryan.” I pull away and watch him frown as his grip holds me steady, not letting me move away.“I thought this is what you want.” His voice is low, his scent changing and becoming full of lust.“I can’t!” I mumble as my stomach ties itself up in knots. He lets out a growl, his amber eyes darkening at my refusal.What are you doing Aria? He wants us.‘I can’t,’ I mutter back. I was so confused, everything about Ryan had me wanting him up until a few seconds ago. But this, now, if I took the next step, something would go very very wrong. I just knew it!“Aria,” he leans in to kiss me again, and the second he realises that I meant what I said he shoves me to the ground.“I do everything for you, Aria. Everything. The messages you give me, I have no idea if I am coming or going.”His mark on my neck shoots out a sharp pain. His eyes fall to it as
Ryan’s POVI had to walk away. I had to stop Atlas from making us do something stupid and I let go of her jaw, quickly moving away.He had power, the same power that I had felt once before. The power that came from being an Alpha.“You can’t just do that and walk away!” Aria shouts after me.But that’s exactly why I had to make us walk away. Something had changed inside of me. It was different from Aria and Tala. Aria could keep Tala in place, I couldn’t with Atlas, it was like he had free range to do whatever he wanted.Of course I can do what I want. I am an Alpha. His voice rumbles through me.When I tell him he can’t, I get this overwhelming sense that he is going to find a way to punish me. He doesn’t have to say it, I could just feel it.She is ours!‘That does not mean you can do what you want with her! She doesn’t appreciate it.’She is ours! He repeats his words again, but I ignore him.“You can’t run away from me!” Aria stomps through the house, following me. “You need to te
Aria“Fuck, fuck, fuck, aaaaahhhhhh,” I let everything out, screaming into the musty pillow. I couldn’t believe it. He was being serious. He had lied, why did everyone always lie to me? Why the hell was I so gullible??Because for some stupid reason, you like to see the best in everyone but then complain when you didn’t see the lie. I feel her eyeroll, like she was stating an obvious fact.‘You don’t think that you should have told me?’What’s the point? You don’t want us to lead the Lycans anyway. I don't know why, we would make a damn fine Queen.‘You still should have said something about Atlas.’Would you have believed me?She had a point. I had questioned everything, all the stupid little things, but why didn’t I question Ryan and why did Atlas make me feel things that no one else had ever done? There was chemistry between Elijah and I, the same as Ryan and I but when Atlas was in control, it was different.His power radiated from him, like an aura that surrounded his entire bein
RyanIt felt good to be back in control, to have that power again. I just needed Aria on board. I may have marked her, but she still needed to agree to help take over. We could both lead the Lycan’s into a new era. To a place where we didn’t have to remain so secretive from the wolves.I knew that I had left her questioning herself, but it was time for her to accept that she was the same as us. That her once quiet life was something of the past. She was built for chaos.Lycans will rule.‘But we can’t do it alone. We need our Queen.’She will come around. Tala will be working her magic.‘And then what, we seek out the Lycan’s that are here in England?’Exactly. Then we will reveal ourselves to the world.I hadn’t realised that that would be his plan.‘To the humans?’Fucking humans, they did me wrong!Atlas had never mentioned the humans, not in this way. I could feel his anger bubbling away and I was about to ask when Aria came crashing through the door. She was shifting, but it look
AriaI could hear their voices. Travelling through the small house, echoeing through the empty rooms. They were talking about me and a young voice was claiming to be my sister. I should have gone down. There were a lot of things I should have done, instead I chose to stay here, listening with my ear pressed to the floor.There was more than one person, I could smell them and yet, this young one was the other one to speak. Was she the oldest? Were they children?Just go down and see.'No, not until I know what is happening. It's probably some sort of trap.' Tala rolls her eyes at me but quietens down.The moment the young girl said my father was alive, I was out the door and down the stairs. In the kitchen the girl was surrounded by eight men. Different coloured eyes all turn to look at me. But hers stood out the most. They were exactly like mine. Same dark hair too.“Ryan…”He stands next to me and asks how much I have heard. “Some.” I stare at the young girl, the one that looked jus
Aria’s POV“The genes that I carry? What about you? You carry the same gene, look at you, you are a Lycan person too!”Ryan’s amber eyes turn back to me. “Either way, they know that you are here now.”“And? It doesn’t mean anything. Just because they know that I am here, doesn’t mean that I want to know them.” He cocks an eyebrow at me, “You really expect your father to leave you alone or even Aesha for that matter?”“Well, what does Atlas think I should do?” I knew I was playing with fire. I could tell by the way Ryan looked at me, that he was pissed off. That he was annoyed with the fact that I had even asked.“Atlas thinks the same as I do.”“And what’s that?”“That you should go to your father, see what he wants.”I wasn’t convinced that was what Atlas wanted until he made his appearance. Ryan’s amber eyes swap for the dark ones of Atlas. “You know we are right Aria. If you don’t go to him. There is a good chance that they will just keep returning. It maybe the girl he keeps sen
