Aria pov
I laughed hard at beta Brian lamed jokes. we were both outside together again, it wasn't like we planned it. It just happened. Although I felt like he was the one using a lot of free time in his schedule to make sure that i was alright. Like he could see that I wanted nothing more than to be away from people but he's not letting that happened because the truth was that I needed someone by my side right now. Someone who was ready to listen and tell me that I was right even though I was wrong. Not like Brian was doing a great job at it, he was too honest for his own good. But still, small things like this made me happy. I still had a friend who was still standing by me even though I clawed his face."With the way you are smiling and no longer glaring at me these days, is it safe for me to say that I have been forgiven?" Brian ask, he was cautious with his words. Like what he did was such a big deal and I had planned to hate him for the rest of my life.I nodded my head as we both walk out of the forest into the pack. I don't know what was up with me today but I felt more happier than I did yesterday. Not like I was even happy yesterday. But maybe it was because of Brian lamed jokes or it was the refreshing run we both had. The air, the tress, nature itself made me felt so free during that run. I was exhausted. Me and Brian was going back to the pack house so that we could take a shower. Separately of course, my relationship with Brian had never been a romantic one. He was like a brother to me, we were the same age but I was older than him with two months. I would have say he was like a younger brother to me but between the both of us, he was taller. And to add it off, he was also more mature. Few times I feel like the reason he was so mature was because he the beta of Dreamstake pack."The way you are smiling is cute. It almost feels like I'm getting my little pudding back."Oh I hated that name but it felt comforting to hear it again, it brought back fun memories. "Thank you." Abruptly, i stop walking, and gaze at him. I really meant my words, I really appreciated Brian being here by my side even though I did everything to push him away at first. "I'm really grateful."He place one of his arms on my shoulder "I think you need to get some rest, you are being extra nice to me today. It's so suspicious." He chuckled. I tried to frown at him because I was seriously being emotional here, but Brian was making it hard with the way he was making up a funny expression on his face, while wiggling his eyebrows at me. At the end my frown broke into a smile and then a small laugh I was trying to hold back but couldn't.After that we both walk quietly to the pack house with his arm still around my shoulder. It was a peaceful stroll back."Ma Aria, beta Brian" one of alpha Bryant maid greated me and beta Brian with a little bow. Her eyes was more on beta Brian than on me, made me wonder if she was crushing on him. Wouldn't be surprised if she was. He was a good guy, whoever his mate was going to be I didn't know, but I really hope that she deserves him. When the maid eyes went to me there was sadness and pity in her gaze. Her eyes went to the door she just came out from. For a moment she struggles to speak, opening her mouth and closing it."Is something wrong Violet?" Brian asked. He noticed the same thing I did. Violet look weirdly trouble. I was surprised Brian knows her name, if only I didn't spend most of my time in the pack all over Bryant, I'm sure that I would have known the name of a lot pack members, mostly those that work in the pack house."It is nothing." Violet practically ran away in the form of walking while looking at the door as if a beast was after her."What was that all about?" I asked Brian, my eyes was still on the maid."I don't know, Violet isn't usually like this. Anyway let's just go in."Me and Brian walk side by side, we reached the door. "Aren't you afraid that a monster is going to jump at you immediately you open the door." I joke."That is why I'm grateful I have you here to protect me."I playfully scoffed at his words. "As if."Brian walk in before me, he stop in his track looking straight ahead, while making me wonder what was wrong. "Are you okay?" I asked as I look at him. In curiosity I turned my face towards the direction he was looking at. Then I saw it, alpha Bryant and his beloved mate Jenny. It looks like they were both having fun together in the kitchen cooking. I wish I wasn't here to see this, but as much as it hurts I couldn't take my eyes off them. I have never seen Bryant that happy before, not even when he was with me. He was laughing so freely."Ahhhhh." Jenny shouted pretending like she burnt her hand."Are you okay." Bryant asked sweetly with worried in his voice. But Jenny laugh and shown him that it was all a joke.Their love was making me sick."Let's go to my place." Brian suggested.His voice got Bryant attention just when he and Jenny was about to kiss. I saw the guilt in his eyes as he tried to compose himself after seeing me and Brian.I felt so angry. I couldn't believe he brought her to the house even though he knows I live here. Was he expecting me to be okay with all this? See both of them together, was this how he wanted us to be friends again, by hurting me and not caring about my feelings."Let's go." I said to Brian. I should have known better. Bryant didn't repect the relationship we shared or the friendship he claimed we had. He never cared about me. If he did, he wouldn't have done this.Aria povA soft knock came to the door."come in" I shouted. "There you go." Beta Brian said as he drop off a few clothes and an underwear for me."Thank you." I said as I smiled at him and took the little bag of clothes, I'm sure he must have felt weird while taking all this things from the pack house but he still did it and I was grateful. Looking inside the bag, I frown as I look at the clothes that was inside. I just needed a pair of clothes to stay in Brian house for today, then maybe later in the evening I would go back to the pack house. Still haven't fully decided on what I wanted yet. I really didn't want to see my ex and his mate together again."Is something wrong?" Brian asked. I pulled out the shirt from inside the bag as I frown at it. The shirt was for Bryant, one of his few clothes that I stoled from him. I was sure I threw away all his clothes that was with me, so what the heck was this doing here? And together with that short. Only Bryant knew that I like wearing th
Aria pov"Aria, what sort of question is are you asking? you are my best friend and I care about you. I know that right now you don't like seeing Jenny at the pack house but one day she is going to live here. You know that, it is something that have to happened eventually, there's no point hiding her away, people around the pack have started noticing that she's my mate." I was no longer shock by alpha Bryant hurtful words anymore. It just pissed me off that he makes himself go and comes whenever he wanted to in my life. And when he was in front of me with his stupid apologies, they were nothing more but an insult to my face. He say he cares again and again but he still couldn't fake his emotions for me anymore now that his secret was out in the open."It's okay Bryant." I said with disdain all over my face. "I'm okay with everything that's happening, you don't have to be here, you don't have to explain yourself to me either.""Aria." His gazes hold my eyes to his. The way he called m
Aria povThis was so annoying. Just when I finally decided to out into the city for while, this had to happened."Did you find any mechanic?" I asked, hearing Brian footsteps behind me. After a minute I decided to turn around when he wasn't answering me. I thought it was weird that he wasn't saying anything. Jenny was standing behind me, her eyes going between me and my bike. Turning around, I ignored her like she wasn't there. Maybe if I don't say anything to her, she might take a hint and go away. "You know, I have been meaning to ask but are you going out with Beta Brian?" Her voice sounded so annoying, what made her think she could come in here, at the garage and talk to me. "You would love it if I was, wouldn't you?" Jenny gave out a short chuckle. "It not like I came here to look for trouble, it just that I have been around the pack and most pack members are aware of the fact that Alpha Bryant have found his mate."Of course she was here to cause trouble."You can tell me
Aria povMindlessly I flip through the different channels in the TV. My favorite show wasn't on, Even if it was, I wasn't going to watch it anymore. Usually I watch it with Bryant by my side. If only Brian wasn't busy with his beta duties today, we could be training together right now. "Stop it, we both know Aria, she isn't capable of doing something like that." Maybe it was because I was thinking about Brian I was starting to hear his voice. "What are trying to say that Jenny is lying?" I was also hearing Bryant voice. "Wait a minute." I got up from my relax position on the couch and look at the direction both voices were coming from.Bryant opened the door, immediately his eyes found mine. I have never seen him look at me like that before. He looks completely enraged."Bryant you can't do this. You are going to hurt Aria again if you do this." Brian tries his best in convincing Bryant.Hurt me?"But she hurt Jenny, you are just saying this because she isn't your mate. If only y
Aria povI could hear them all clearly, they weren't even going to pretend as if I wasn't there. none of them cared, I still remember the time they all wanted to be close to me because I was alpha Bryant girlfriend, now with the sudden turn of events they gossip me without caring, there was no escape for me in Dreamstake pack. The pack house was suffocating, the pack itself with the pack members were no difference. I can't stand this place anymore, I don't want to, the person I was fighting for didn't even know that I'm only staying here because I was fighting for him. I know right now that for others, this was the perfect reason for me to just pack my bags and go without caring about Bryant anymore. But I couldn't do that, I felt exactly the opposite of what I was supposed to feel, to me this gave me more reason why I needed to stay. If I didn't, who would save Bryant from his lying mate that wanted to destroy his life.I headed back the pack house, nothing in this pack could take my
Aria povThings didn't get better for me in anyway. Jenny was still at the house, she hadn't left ever since the day she came in. To protect her, Kaiser stayed with her. Alpha Bryant didn't care about my feelings anymore, he was serious when he said that he wanted me out of the house, if he had in any way cared about my feelings he wouldn't have brought Jenny into the pack house. The forest soil was dark brown, almost blackish. I pick up a lonely stone from the ground and throw it away, watching as it flew across me into a little pool of water. I felt no different from the stone, I threw away in boredom, we were both alone, abandoned and throw away when the whole world thought that we weren't needed anymore.Jenny wounds was taking forever to heal, she was a really weak wolf, my guess was that, either because of what was done to her before or she was the one who keeps the wound on her body, as a reason to remind Bryant every blessed day of how much of a threat I was to her and how ev
Aria povWith this place I was going to teach alpha Bryant a lesson. He was going to regret ever making a fool out of me and my feelings for him. I will use my satisfaction for his pains to replace my feelings for him.It was time I had revenge on alpha Bryant, I hate his mate, but I hate him more for allowing every thing his mate did to me. Hurting him was going to be the same thing as hurting her, because they are mate, she was going to feel every single pain alpha Bryant feels after he had fallen for my trap. If I couldn't hurt alpha Bryant emotionally because he felt nothing for me. Then I am going to hurt him the way my father taught me how to hurt a man, good old physical pain. I saw Jenny mate mark. She couldn't wait to flaunt it out to me, to show me that she and alpha Bryant have bounded. Bryant couldn't even wait for a mating ceremony were he could make an official announcement that she was his mate before he mated with her, that bastard went straight ahead without caring a
Aria pov"Common babe, say something." Alpha Bryant said to JennyShe couldn't speak, I could see the confusion, anger and fear in her eyes. I was giving her exactly what she wanted, but she didn't know why, Jenny didn't think that it was going to be so easy, and she was right about it. I would leave the pack, but it wasn't going to be so easy."I... I.." Jenny stutter, "I forgive you." At that very moment I felt so much like laughing, but I had to hold it in, pretend like as if i was still sad as I wipe off my fake tears. From the corner of my eye I could see that Brian and Kaiser knew that something was wrong. I bet all Kaiser thought I was going to do was to just walk up to alpha Bryant and his sister, announcing to everyone that I wanted to leave. Of course life wasn't going to be that simple, I was personally going to made sure that it wasn't for Bryant mate."Alpha Bryant, what about you?" I turned my eyes to him. "Please forgive me, I don't want to lose our friendship for anyth
