LOGINAria’s POVWe were supposed to meet “Him” right? Why did Draco drag me back to my father’s place of all places?Just yesterday, the same man tried to kill me in the presence of half-entire the world. Draco was unpredictable, and inconsiderate.I got it that he gave no damn about my feelings… but please–A grab jolted me out of my thoughts; so tight and sudden the strong fingers instantly closed around my arm. I had no time to react when the person yanked me forward, causing me to collide into the hard frame of his body. My heart raced inside my chest. For a moment, I believed Draco had come out to annoy me more, only for me to lift my head… for my eyes to be met with familiar dark ones. This scumbag. What was he doing in this place?“So the Supreme Alpha’s daughter didn’t fire you after all…” Kyle’s lips lifted faintly. “I thought after stripping you naked, you would be thrown at the borders to be devoured by the rogues.”Urgh!I wriggled my hand to break free, rolling my eyes a
“Greetings to the Supreme Alpha. Father-in-law, it's a pleasure to meet you again.”When I approached and greeted, only the Supreme Alpha answered with a nod.As for Selene’s father, he stared daggers at me, his eyes flaming with anger. Selene sat beside him, silently lowering her head.“Kyle Sinclair, did I make a mistake by entrusting my daughter to you?” He asked, his voice low with controlled rage.My fingers curled by my sides. I loosened them before they clenched into fists.If he weren't Selene’s father, I wouldn't tolerate just anyone addressing me this way.After all, he was only a Beta.“Father-in-law, I’ll explain—”“What explanation is there to give?” He interrupted me. “Last night, everyone was at the ceremony except you guys. I later found out that it was because you took Selene to a dangerous place where she got poisoned!”I looked down, avoiding his eyes.So that was it.I worried too soon, thinking he'd summoned me because of that thing.From the looks of it, he hadn
Kyle’s POV I searched for almost half a day.I asked the hotel security to check the surveillance.No unusual activity detected.Which meant… it wasn't a normal abduction. My car was standing there, perfectly intact, with Selene inside it.Then she was gone.I couldn't recall having a feud with any of the supernatural beings recently. Who dared to abduct her?Frustrated, I paced back and forth in front of my car. Lost at what to do next, I dialed a contact.“Finally remembered me, Buddy?” Zane drawled, his voice heavy with intoxication.I sighed. “I need your help.”“You’ve asked for too many favors in a short time. Are you the great Kyle I used to know?”Right.Things just kept on going south ever since I stepped foot in this city.“Selene has gone missing.” Ignoring the taunting in his tone, I sighed. “She's too weak and fragile. And from the looks of it, the person who abducted her isn't ordinary.”“Hmmm.” Zane hummed faintly. “Now that's interesting. Who have you offended recentl
Draco’s gaze lingered on my features longer than necessary when I mentioned “Him.” But his eyes betrayed no emotion. If not, they were too focused as if reading through me.I kept a blank face, my posture steady, meeting his gaze with a calm intensity that masked my emotions.“Fine.” He stepped forward, lifting his fingers to wipe something from my lips. “Remember, Aria, whatever you do, do not bring a mess to this past.”His words were a warning.He might be sensing that I was about to land myself in trouble.But Draco underestimated me.“I'm not a troublemaker.”His lips twitched faintly with a hint of a smile. He opened his mouth to respond, and from all indications, he had the perfect comeback. In the end, he didn't say it due to mysterious reasons.Not because he cared about my feelings.We just finished bantering, right?“Go on.” He nodded towards the stairs. “I won't be waiting after ten minutes.”Ten minutes.That wasn't enough time for me to wash up and get ready.But my mi
Aria’s POVThe Next Morning.The rumbling in my stomach jolted me awake.I didn't eat throughout yesterday. Didn't even drink a drop of water.Now my stomach was rumbling like the drums of war, my vision so blurry I could faint from the intense hunger.I jumped down from the bed, slipped on my sleepers, and rushed straight downstairs.Didn't care about washing my face or even glancing at my messy appearance in the mirror.The rollercoaster of events yesterday, along with the conflict and drama, must have messed with my nervous system.The hunger wasn't just from lack of eating. Funny how I'd dropped asleep the moment we arrived home last night.“Good morning, Luna.” Many voices greeted me concurrently when I arrived downstairs.There seemed to be a lot of servants inside the house this morning,Which was weird.But I didn't stop to assess what was going on in my haste to reach the dining room as soon as possible.Luckily, the food was ready.I dug in as fast as I could despite feeling
Kyle's POV Damnit! I was late!Glancing at my wristwatch, a wave of anger and irritation surged through me.It was 10:00 PM. The ceremony was already over. Yet, here I was, waiting for Selene to wake up.Someone must have spiked her drink last night.One of those hungry bastards.Not only did they have the audacity to hurt my mate, but they also spiked my drink as well. I woke up this morning to find us both lying on the rooftop, side by side.Last night, I wanted to leave immediately after hearing about Dickson’s death. Those scumbags, however, urged us to stay.I should have known from the mischievous looks in their eyes that they were up to no good.Up to this time, Selene hadn't awakened yet. She'd slept for a whole day straight.That was weird.Did something else happen to her?I couldn't get my mind off that question even though the doctors had assured me;She was fine.Her system was just too weak to handle the potency of the intoxicant.Why was my mind still unsettled then?
Before I could react, one of the bodyguards pinned me by my arms against the wall. The other one brought out a pocket knife, flicking it open to reveal its sharp edges.My heart pounded in fear, my eyes darting to Kyle who held Selene close. “Cut it until she looks like the crazy woman she is,” H
Aria’s POV Purity Penthouse Lights glowed from afar, illuminating the entire neighborhood. Purity Penthouse stood on the outskirts of the city on a large property of its own.I'd only heard about it.Never had I stepped foot in it before.As soon as it came into view, my first reaction was an ins
The silence that followed stretched for a few seconds, long enough to make me doubt if he’d heard what I said.Then he turned slowly.And for the first time since Draco appeared, something in his composure shifted. Just enough to reveal the flicker of emotion in his eyes.But that emotion was gone
I gulped, taking several steps back.He was clearly lying.I knew him too well to realize that his smile meant trouble, and his kind words meant an invitation to destruction.“Dickson, look! You and I have no business with each other.”“Oh, really?” He raised an amused brow, stepping forward as I s
