“Shut the fuck up!” I roar, my fist connecting with his face. He staggers back but doesn’t back down. “Punching me doesn’t change the truth,” Theo says, wiping the blood from his lip. “Do you know where Serena is? She went to call your dad. She’s complaining about Aria again. Are you trying to get
Aria I barely got any damn sleep. My brain was on overdrive, replaying everything. Aunt Esther’s face kept popping up…did I really do the right thing calling her? I mean, I’m not one to eat my words, so I’m sticking to the plan. Aunt Esther used to be part of the Full Moon Pack and one of the only
I stand there in the middle of the room, arms crossed, eyebrows furrowed. “This is so—” “Fucking beautiful!” Lily and Mia scream in unison, cutting me off as they dive onto the massive bed like kids at a sleepover. They’re literally swimming in the covers while I’m stuck in my head, feeling like th
Aria I feel my heart shatter into a million tiny pieces, and before I can blink, the waterworks are in full force. Ugh, I’m like a human Niagara Falls. Ethan, the smug asshole, leans in, clearly enjoying my misery. “Oh, poor girl,” he says, pouting dramatically. “Don’t tell me you actually thought
Aria “Why? So you can lie for your asshole brother?” I shoot back, crossing my arms. “Aria, you know I’d never support Lucas’s bad behavior.” “Then why are you here, huh?” “Because you’re mistaken,” she says, taking a step closer. “Lucas didn’t do it. Serena and Ethan—” “Stop,” I cut her off,
Aria The moment I step forward, every eye in the room lands on me. The air shifts like everyone’s holding their breath, waiting to see if I’ve finally lost my mind. Joke’s on them—maybe I have. But I’m done playing the quiet little omega everyone can step on. Tonight, it’s my turn to speak, and th
Aria “Aria, I want to publicly apologize to you,” Lucas says, his voice shaking just enough to make me wonder if he’s about to cry in front of everyone. And honestly? I wouldn’t mind if he did. He clears his throat and continues, gripping the mic like it’s the only thing keeping him upright. “For
Lucas The fireworks light up the night sky, painting it in streaks of red, gold, and blue. Aria stares up, her face glowing like she’s just been kissed by the gods themselves. “This is so beautiful,” she whispers, her voice soft and awestruck. “We’re officially in 2025. I can’t fucking believe thi
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
I turn to the side, my back pressed against his chest, and his arm slides around my waist like it belongs there. His body’s warm, grounding, and his scent…gosh it's so soothing. “Goodnight, baby,” he whispers, pressing a soft kiss to my shoulder. “Goodnight, baby,” I murmur back, letting my hand s
Aria “Oh yeah… they’re not here right now,” Alpha Marcel says, scratching his head like he’s trying to dig out the answer. “They went outta the country to visit a relative of my wife.” I nod, but honestly, it sounds like total bullshit. Like, really? In the middle of all this chaos? The pack’s cu
“Let me guess. He said, ‘Screw this fire crap’?” “Pretty much. Said it was barbaric and refused to keep sacrificing his people. And the moment he stopped? Curse hit us like a wrecking ball. No sunlight, no crops, no peace. Just rot and death. Now there’s some weird-ass illness spreading…werewolves
Aria Lola takes a deep breath, glancing over my shoulder like someone might be eavesdropping, then locks eyes with me. “Your mother... she was a beautiful and brave woman,” she says, and for a second, she looks like she’s about to cry or punch someone. “I used to wait on her.” Wait, what? “You did
Alpha Marcel groans like I just smacked him with nothing but facts duh. "You’re right," he mutters, rubbing his forehead. "I’m just, you know... skeptical. I’m scared because he grew up with his father, and I worry he’ll be like him." I shake my head and look straight at Lucas, feeling my heart do
Aria The woman. It’s definitely her. Same long black hair, same damn round face, same sad ass eyes. What the hell is she doing here? I swear something feels weird and off as fuck. "Aria, are you alright?" Alpha Marcel’s voice yanks me back to reality. He’s looking between me and the lady like he’
Aria "What... who did you see?" Lucas asks, helping me sit down on the bed before crouching in front of me. "It was a woman," I say, still feeling lightheaded. "She was short, had long black hair, a round face... and she was crying. I don't even fucking know. She looked super distressed or someth
“You might not know it yet, but you are special, my child. When I found out you were alive... I was elated. Full of joy. I thought you died with Martha and Kane.” “But why didn’t you do anything?” I ask, my voice tight. “Take revenge or... I don’t know. Something.” He shakes his head slowly. “I wi
