INICIAR SESIÓN“I don’t want this marriage.”
She reaches forward and takes my ear between her fingers, “Silly girl.” She tsks, twisting and squeezing. “Don’t you see how good things are? You are living like a princess and I’m living like I birthed a princess, don’t ruin this for me, Aeilana Hartley.” She warns, letting go of my ear. “Not just me, but your father, your brother.. and your sisters haven’t enjoyed any benefits yet, think of Sera. She hasn't even arrived yet.”I couldn't care less about“You.”Me? “Nope,” I snort out a laugh.“Why not?” She raises an eyebrow. “You have a more active sex life than I do. You and Alpha Kingston are always at it. Don’t think I didn’t notice you last night, Luna Aeliana.”“My noah,” I gasp, my cheeks heating up from embarrassment as I look behind me, thankfully everyone seems to be busy with their own thing.“You came in flushed, drenched in perfume, and then you disappeared for like thirty minutes in the middle of it all.”I shrug, the memory enough to make me laugh. “That means nothing.”“You should take one of those shifters tests,” she casually says. “There’s only so much the birth control can handle. Didn’t you just have your heat cycles?”“Yes?” I frown, it's not meant to be a question but it comes off as just that.“That messes with stuff,” she shrugs.“No.”“Yes,” she confidently says. “You know how seriously I take birth control, so trust me. My dad would kill me if I sprang a mini Noah.”She’s right.Noah is on top of her birth
AELIANAThe fundraiser was a hit.I haven't been this happy about something in a long time. I found the kind of fulfilment I do from teaching in it, it felt good to do something that benefited so many kids not just for a day but for a long time. Pack activities might just be my favourite thing about being Luna, and I hate to admit it, but Mom was right. It is an honour, all I had to do was stop viewing it as a weapon, and I was set.Around nine yesterday, we called it a night, dropped off a few kids in the limo we hired, and came back home. Kingston and I were past our drunk in the cinema until four in the morning when Maddox found us. He woke us up and scolded us to commemorate his return.We’ve been up since then, sprawled in the living room where others joined us and left us. Now it’s just Rowan, Noah, Kingston, and me, playing a stimulating game of war veteran. Kingston and Rowan are quizzing us on war tactics in an attempt to prove their academy prepared them for any possible sit
Her response is instant, “Yes, her.”I nod.Danielle doesn't seem to like Noah. I’ve known it from the beginning, and that might have to do with Rowan tailing her. I tried to put someone else on Noah, but he refused. He said she’s just a girl, and honestly, I doubt if she would listen to anyone else.Her eyes shift and I mirror them, landing on Rowan now. “Oh crap, I think I’m going to be sick.”“Because Rowan hugged Noah and Ellie?” I frown, eyes shifting back to Danielle.“No,” she clutches her stomach, her face twisting. “I think something’s wrong with the wings I ate on the way here, they were pretty cold.”“Okay,” I set my drink on a passing waiter’s tray and offer her a hand to lean on. “Why don’t we sit down. Come on,” I say, trying to help her to an empty table I see.We are halfway there when she groans, “My stomach is rumbling.”I can't help but laugh now, Danielle can be very dramatic sometimes, and this happens to be one of those times. “You're hungry, Danielle.”“Yeah, bu
KINGSTONThe last few days have been nothing short of blissful. No one bothered me much, except for Rowan and Caleb summoning me through the pack link a few times, I’ve pretty much had a vacation with my mate, and that vacation would have continued if not for the mixer Aeliana organised for the foundation.We are late tonight.I couldn’t keep my hands off Aeliana after seeing how good she looked in her dress for tonight. Every time I see her in something new, I keep thinking I’ve seen her look more beautiful, and yet, she surprises me every single time. I held off as long as I could, and if not for her self-control, we wouldn’t have made it here at all.The moment we check into the hall, Pandora Hartley finds us quicker than a waiter can offer us a drink. “Alpha Kingston.” She beams.“Mrs Hartley, you look beautiful.”She grins widely, “But not as much as Liana baby.” She gushes, pulling her into an involuntary hug. I’m holding a strong grudge against the entire family since she disap
I’m scared, Damien was angry when I kissed those men at the club, what will Kingston do if he finds out? Fuck, he’ll hate me for sure.“No secrets,” he repeats. “And I would appreciate it if I wasn’t the only one talking about my feelings when we fight, or discuss an opinion we disagree on.” He tells me, his tone sincere. My lips part, I should say it now, while I’m at the perfect angle of being strangled but he speaks before I do. “Doesn’t that sound better than hiding your heat from me? You’re making me feel like a shit mate.”“I’m the shit mate,” I grumble. Behind my eyes, is nothing but a blur of those kisses. My stomach twists with disgust so vile it slips past the heat. I let my spite drive me into someone else’s arms and Kingston is smiling at me, I should tell him now but my courage fails me.“I didn’t want for that to happen, I was going to tell you, but she got in my head. She said you were hers, you wouldn’t love me like her, and—”“I’ll stop you right there, she’s a frien
AELIANAI stir awake at the sound of a door closing. I prop up on my elbows and stare, taking in my surroundings. I’m no longer in the car but in my bedroom now, and Kingston just walked out of the shower naked. I’m naked too, dazed by sleep and heat.“King,” I sniff.He immediately settles at the edge of the bed, too far for my liking. His eyes search mine. “We need to talk, Siren.”“Okay.”“What you saw at Rivers the other day—”“Didn’t we talk?” I scoff, “I don’t want to go back to that please, not right now.”“I can’t keep it a secret anymore because it’s affecting us, and I’d rather lose her than you.”“Kingston...” I sigh, everything he says to me right now sounds a lot like nothing, but he keeps talking.“I was there because—fuck,” he hisses, pausing now. “You’re not listening, are you?”“I am,” I frantically nod. “I just don’t want to hear that again.”His lips pull into a smirk, “Still so stubborn.” He groans, grabbing my leg and pulling me down until my legs drape over his l
Oh.I don’t think she realises how close she always is to having her limbs torn apart each time she talks to me. The image of that happening is calming, calming enough for me to overlook how badly I want to tear her throat out so she never speaks again. But that would make Kingston pity her—and I’m
“What did you say to my mother?” He demands, answering my question with one of his own. It appears he hasn’t learned learned his lesson on commanding me just yet. “Aeliana,” he repeats.“Nothing,” I say with an eyeroll.His expression remains the same, cold, unsatisfied, and half-entertaining. “Wha
KINGSTON The ride back home is silent, and cold. I keep stealing glances at Aeliana who is obviously playing a game on her phone with the volume on full blast. Before we left the party, my father told me to seal the bond with her, even it I don't have kids with her so fast. And in the case that
We don’t speak the rest of the drive, and when we arrive, he steals her away to give a tour of my brother’s wife. Most of the guests are yet to arrive but Audrey is already here, she came in early to help set up for the party. She’s always been so thoughtful, and up until a few weeks ago, we all ap
