Yeah. This is not going to be a friendly match. I don’t even think anymore. My feet move on their own as I march straight over to where Lucas is standing with Damon and Theo. "Hey, guys," I greet, trying to sound casual. Lucas barely acknowledges me before snapping, "Aria… did you know this Ma
The crowd erupts. Even louder than for Lucas. Lucas is fuming. "It wasn’t bad," Theo says. "Are you kidding? That was a great speech," Damon argues. I make the mistake of looking at Lucas. Yeah. He’s fucking livid. His hands are clenched so tight, I think he might snap his own fingers. T
Hello, guys, I accidentally omitted a chapter before Chapter 201, but it will be rectified soon.
Aria The moment I reach him, I grab Lucas by the waist, pulling him back before he can swing again. "Stop, Lucas, please," I beg, my hands tightening around him. The coach, Damon, and Theo jump in, finally prying him off Mark. "Why the fuck should I?!" Lucas roars, still struggling against me
"I love you too," I whisper. …… Saturday finally rolls around, and Lucas and I are all set to visit Shadow Pang Pack. I won’t lie…I’m kinda nervous. I have no clue what to expect. I mean, am I even ready to see Alpha Marcus after all the shit he pulled? I haven’t even seen the guy in the flesh
Lucas What the fuck is going on right now? My eyes stay glued to Mark, my whole body tight with rage. The bastard just sits there, smirking like he owns the damn place. I turn sharply to my father. "Why is he here?" "Lucas, calm down, please." My father’s voice is gentle. "How have you been
Aria Okay, so things are intense as hell right now. Lucas is full-on murder glaring at Mark, while Mark keeps clenching and unclenching his fists like he’s deciding whether to throw a punch or not. His mother, Jane, looks like she wants to claw Lucas’s face off with her manicured nails. And Alpha
Marcus isn’t shaking anymore. But he’s also not moving. Sarita swallows hard. “Is he… is he dead?” Good fucking question. Because that was exactly what was running through my mind too. Lucas shakes his head, jaw tight. “No… he’s not. I can still hear his heartbeat.” He’s trying to sound strong, b
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
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
