Aria The rink is buzzing with energy when I arrive. Relief washes over me…I haven’t missed Lucas’s game. “Look who decided to show up,” a familiar voice sneers. I turn to see Vanessa’s minion pointing at me, her smirk full of malice. Vanessa strides over, her perfectly manicured nails tapping ag
Aria When we finally pull apart from the kiss, I’m panting like I just ran a damn marathon, and Lucas looks as stunned as hell. The problem? my panties are soaked, and my body feels like it’s on fire. Great. Just great. “That was... uh, great,” he mutters, scratching the back of his neck. “I’m goi
Aria Smirking, I trail my fingers down his abs to the bulge in his pants. He stiffens immediately, letting out a low growl. “What the fuck are you doing?” “Proving I’m in control now,” I purr, giving his hard cock a slow rub. He arches his back, his grip tightening on my waist. “Fuck, Aria, you’
Ethan I'm still fuming as I walk away from Aria. She’s standing there, looking all stunned and shit, but I don’t even care. That’s exactly what I want. She doesn’t know it yet, but I’m gonna make her life a living hell until she’s crawling back to me, begging for my attention. I smirk to myself at
Aria “Aria... Aria!” Mia nudges me, snapping me out of my thoughts. She’s sitting right beside me in the stands, her expression all concerned like I’ve just confessed to a crime. “What’s going on?” she asks. “You’ve been giving Alpha Ethan this death glare for the past ten minutes. I thought you
"If you take too long to join us at the café, we’re coming over to drag you out," Mia warns, smirking. "Good thing you gave us the code." "Yeah," Lily chimes in, grinning. "Let’s just hope Alpha Lucas doesn’t mind." I shake my head. "I doubt he cares. It’s probably just some random number." "Or s
Aria My eyes scan the girl from head to toe. She’s tall…like, runway model who could strut in six-inch heels without breaking a sweat tall. Her long, jet-black hair looks like it belongs in a shampoo commercial, all glossy and perfect. Those hazel eyes of hers sparkle like she’s been genetically en
Mia sighs, fluffing the covers for me. "Aria, are you sure you don’t like Alpha Lucas?" I glare at her. "I don’t. It’s just the stupid mate bond making me act this way." "Alright," she says, clearly not convinced. "We’ll see you later." The second Mia and Lily leave, I lose it. Tears pour out of
I let out a heavy sigh. “Shit… my mom must’ve been wrecked.” My mind flashes to that moment I saw her dancing. The guy she was dancing with… it had to be him. Erik. Her brother. “She was,” Marcel says quietly. “Erik adored her.” I nod slowly. “Yeah... I don’t doubt that.” My voice drops without m
Aria It's clear as day that Alpha Marcel did not see that question coming. The way he’s looking at me right now…it’s like I just slapped him with a frying pan. He looks guilty as fuck, but also kinda panicked, like he’s trying to figure out how the hell I even got that piece of info. “Uhmm... whe
Aria “Lucas, it’s not what you think,” I blurt out, already panicking. “I slipped and he caught me, that’s all.” But Lucas ain’t hearing it. His eyes are locked on Mark like he’s two seconds from launching at him, while Mark’s over there rolling his eyes like Lucas is just being dramatic. I walk
“Aria, you good?” Mark’s voice cuts through my little mental spiral and drags me back to reality. I blink a few times, trying to pull myself together before I look at him. “Yeah. I’m fine. Just got a little caught up in my feelings. Nothing dramatic.” Mark nods like he believes me, even though I’m
Aria We step outta the living room, and the cold hits me like a freaking slap to the face. This wind? Rude as hell. It goes straight through my jacket like it’s got beef with me personally. It’s still pitch dark outside, obviously, but there’s electricity glowing from this part of the mansion like
Lucas The second I hit the room, I just crash onto the bed like my body finally gave up. I yank the blanket over my face like that’s gonna block out the bullshit in my head. My skull feels like it’s about to explode, and my chest? Yeah, that shit’s not doing any better either. It’s like someone’s
But Lucas? Oh no. He’s not calming down one bit. “I can’t calm down, Aria. You need to say something right now. Tell this idiot you belong in Shadow Pang.” He’s practically barking it, and honestly, I’m about two seconds from losing it too. “Lucas,” I start, trying real hard to keep my voice soft a
Aria “Aria, I’m telling you, there’s nothing to be scared of. I mean, yeah, the Hollow sect are creepy as hell and all that, but Alpha Marcel’s got the resources. He’s got the people, the connections. You’re safe here,” Mark says the second we step into the living room, like he’s trying to sell me
Aria After I shower and get dressed, Lucas and I head downstairs for breakfast. Alpha Marcel’s not in the living room yet, and Mark... well, goddess knows where he is. Probably off being mysterious and annoying, as usual. We make our way to the dining room where the maid who called us is already
