Aria
The ringing of the alarm woke me up from my doze. I sat up from my laying position and looked outside the window. The sun has set up.Well. Happy birthday to me, again!Last night's small celebration my parents and Alpha Brian and Luna Olivia arranged went well. We hadn't invited many people to my small birthday celebration, and since I didn't have any friends it was even easier to cut it short. Although my parents took the liberty to invite a few of the girls and boys around my age, they mostly ignored me so did I?The incident with Hunter a day ago still haunted my mind, I still tried to keep myself free from worry. After all, I might find my mate today! The excitement and nervousness both were there but I couldn't fathom why the feeling of something displeasing happening bugged me.I shrugged and got up to freshen up. After I was getting ready, I headed downstairs."Oh, honey. You're awake," My mom exclaimed watching me walking down the stairs."That's a bit earlier than you usually wake up, what's the hurry huh?" Dad's voice rang from the kitchen, he was chopping the fruits whilst mom stood beside him occasionally stealing a few pieces from the bowl."There's no catch," I stretched my arms and walked over to the counter."Excited to meet someone?" Mom teasing voice brought the pink tint to my cheeks. They definitely knew the reason behind my sudden punctuality."Mom!" I exclaimed, the embarrassment covering my face, "Why did you say that?""Danica said what's true," Dad grinned, "You are eager to meet your mate and it's written all over your face.""I just can't with you two," I shook my head trying to hide my blush behind my anger, and grabbed an apple from the bowl, "I'm going to school.""But your breakfast...." Mom began."I'll get something from the canteen," I announced and headed for the door."Aria, take care of my future son-in-law," Dad chuckled."Dad!" I was beet red at this moment."Jonathan, stop it," Mom playfully slapped dad's shoulder before drowning in a fit of laughter."Wow! That helped too much mom," I rolled my eyes and walked out of the house."Goodbye sweetheart," I heard their voice in unison."Goodbye," I yelled back, this time the smile broke on my face. I couldn't be more grateful that I had these two people in my life.As I made my way to the school the build of excitement and nervousness was continuously growing, inchmeal. The idea of finding my mate was very exciting and the reason for the nervousness was still unknown and as soon as I entered the school building I felt it evolving even more.The butterflies fluttering in my stomach were also undeniable. I decided to maintain my usual routine that included grabbing my books from the locker and heading for the class. I didn't want to make an exception because if my mate would be near me I could easily track his smell.I just couldn't wait to meet him! How he might look, what his hair color would be, what would be his eye color every question was putting me on the edge but at the same time, I found myself feeling missing something. I just didn't know why there was a feeling of disappointment.It was just indescribable.Suddenly all my bustling thoughts were put to an end as I was walking closer to the hall. The sudden pulsating of my heart and the increase of the rhythm of my heartbeats along with the heavenly scent floating into my nostrils caused my body to get stilled.My brows rose in surprise and my eyes closed for a second before they opened to trail their gaze toward the source of the scent who was supposedly standing a few feet away.But then I saw the scene that instantly turned the warmth spreading inside my chest into a burning ache of fire. There stood my tormentor with his lips pressed against Ashley's and his fingers digging into her waist as he ravished her.The sudden pain hit my chest, and now the felt suffocating. I took frequent steps backward as if I was losing my balance.Tear blurred my vision within seconds to even notice Hunter's movements getting uncomfortable with each second passing by. It was even less than three seconds since I stood there and watched their heated kiss when Hunter harshly pushed Ashley away from his body.He closed his eyes taking a deep inhale and slowly his gaze followed to spot me. His eyes widen in surprise as he realized what had just happened.He was my mate. The same person who loathed me and left no limits to hurt me. The same person who turned my life hell. The same person who made me cry every day.My once best friend. My bully. And....my mate.The tears now streamed down my face. My hands trembled and the chills were sent down my entire body.This was a curse! It had to be a curse!I clamped my lips shut to stop any sobs that might get out.Ashley's eyes stared between me and Hunter, she looked confused as if she didn't expect Hunter to look at me in the way he was looking at me right now.His dark eyes were covered in guilt.No! It has to be disgust. He was a monster who had no guilt or shame left inside him.He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out, he stared at my tear-stained face without a word. His expression turned more evident as the seconds were floating away.He looked hesitant but he attempted to take a few steps toward me and that was it. I wiped my tears and ran out of the place. Desperate and fast, I ran in my home's direction.The tears never stopped, even if I tried several times. The painful feeling is even more painful as the flashes of our good memories are overshadowed by the dark ones played in front of my eyes like a movie.I couldn't calm myself down. I couldn't breathe. It was as if all the weight around the world has been put on my chest.I opened the door of the house and dashed inside.Mom and dad's worried gazes fall only on my face."Honey, what's wrong?" Mom tried to reach out to me but I backed away.I couldn't tell them. I couldn't tell them the truth. I wasn't ready to even speak a word about it. And what could I even say? I saw my mate kissing another girl? And my mate is supposedly my bully and former best friend?"Aria, why are you crying sweetheart?" Dad's expression laced in concern came in my view blurred with unshed tears."I-I can't talk right now," I breathed out, stopping the sob that tried to come out, "Please leave me alone for a few hours," And I ran into my room avoiding mom and dad's voice calling my name to stop me.I faced a nightmare today. A nightmare I would never forget.Aria."Aria, please open the door sweetheart," Dad's concerned voice requested."Please, my baby. Open the door," I could understand my mom's voice that she was on the edge of crying.I had kept myself locked for almost the whole day. The first few hours mom and dad didn't bother me as I had asked but after that their concern kicked in. It had been more than an hour since they are trying to get me out of my room.The tears hadn't stopped since, but they surely lessened.The ache in my cheat was what increased time by time.I could hear my parent's continuous questions asking me what happened and why I have locked myself. But what will I tell them?That I found out my mate kissing another she-wolf? And my bully is who turned out to be my mate? They didn't even know that Hunter and my relationship has turned into something like this. I myself couldn't understand what was the reason behind his change them how would I have explained it to my parents? "Aria, please open the door," Dad re
AriaEverything around was surrounded with dark as if dark clouds had descended from the sky and enveloped the atmosphere in a never-ending haze. The rainforest was even darker than ever despite the moonlight that shone at its best.One by one, I let the forest engulf me deeper into it. My skin was burning, the more it burned the more accurate I knew when my wolf was going to come out. I opened my clothes and let them rest beside the tree.Out of blue, a pain hit my abdomen. The agonizing scream tore from my throat at the abruptness of it. Before the aftershock from the previous hit could end another pain hit from my spoke. The sound of my bones cracking became the only sound I could hear.The burning sensation increased to the point where I could feel the tears gathering at the corner of my eyes, a cry slipped past my lips before I even knew it. As I started to notice the white fur appearing on my skin, something heightened my grief even more--She was beautiful but because of me she
Hunter.She fainted in my arms, her head fell on my chest, and inchmeal her heavy breathing started calming down. Her luscious dark hair shined even in the dark, her skin was shimmering in sweat and soft as rose petals. She looked like a goddess.I didn't deserve her. I didn't even deserve to touch her.After how I'd behaved with her over the years, I didn't even deserve to talk to her.I had fucked up very badly. In the ways to erase her from my heart, I had committed something I can't even fix now. She deserved happiness, and I'd taken it away from her. She used to be so happy and I took that smile away from her face just for some sick fear of losing her.Aria had been and always was the most beautiful female in our pack, everything about her was beyond astonishing. Her smile, her eyes, every little detail of her thrived me. I loved her, I still did but I pushed her away.From the very start, my demeanor was completely contrary to what Aria wanted in her mate, she wanted someone who
AriaI woke in a familiar atmosphere, in my room. The rays of the morning sun peered through the gap of the curtain and fell on my face waking me up from the slumber that I wished would never end.The surreal memories of last night attacked me from every side, the rise and fall of my chest increased as the pace of my heartbeat gradually turned rapid. The tears once again began gathering in my eyes but what could they bring? Nothing.Except for adding more to my misery, these tears were as useless as the mate bond between me and Hunter Rodriguez.He despised me, all he had ever shown to me was his hatred and this mate bond was not a blessing, it was a curse. A curse that was going to ruin my life completely, snatch the last hopes that I had left inside, the hopes that gave me the strength to keep my shattered life together.I did not have any idea what I should do.I was a mess!And just when I was on the verge of breaking down once again, a sudden knock on the door broke the chains of
Aria"Aria, sweetheart get ready quickly. Okay?" Dad asked as he noticed me walk upstairs after I was done with a small baking session with mom."For what?" I asked, confused.To keep my mind off of things, I had decided to bake some cookies with some and I'd be a lie if I said that it helped me in any sort of way. The entire time I had to force myself to concentrate on baking. It was as if there was no other thought left in my brain except for that one person and what made it worse was that I could feel the emotions Sierra was going through. The mate bond was affecting both of us and the distance and the abortive future I could see had given my pain a few more reasons to increase."Your mom hasn't told you yet?" Dad asked before he tilt his head to glance back mom who was storing the freshly baked cookies in the jar, "Honey, why haven't you told her that we and some important pack members who are in charge of the pack along us are invited to Brian's house?" Mom's mouth formed 'o'
AriaAlpha Brian and Luna Olivia greeted us as we reached their mansion."How are you, sweetheart? Olivia walked closer to me and caressed my cheek."I am fine," I flashed her a smile which she gladly returned."Come on everyone, let's have a seat," Brian guided us inside.This was the first time in the last four years that I have stepped into this house, from the time being Hunter draw the distance between us I never tried to look back not even thinking of coming here on the occasions.But today I had to...Because after all these years, I finally decided to face him. Running and keeping away from myself due to the fear of facing his gaze full of hatred was not what I am going to do anymore.We all took seats around the round table. There were plenty of people here today, and Hunter's beta and gamma were there too. They flashed me a small smile like they always had every time we'd ever met."What's it about, Brian? An announcement you were talking about, what's it?" Dad asked.Brian'
Aria'I, Hunter Rodriguez, the Alpha of Silvercrest pack reject Aria Brown as my mate and the Luna.'A day had passed by.It turned out that at least Hunter had some mercy left to not utter those words that will severe the bond, immediately after I left. For once he decided not to act like the monster show how much hatred he has stored for me in his heart.Sierra and I both were keeping ourselves together, gathering our strength to face the upcoming storm of pain that would come along with the inevitable rejection. The truth was hard to accept nonetheless it was the truth— This mate bond is a curse. Having my tormentor as my mate was a curse that I had to reject even if it'd break me and tear me apart.No matter how hard it was to fight this mate bond, I had to do it.A trembling sigh left my mouth as I stared outside the window, it was late at night and the moon seemed to shine at its best yet there was this undefinable darkness that could be sensed but not seen. The silence felt st
AriaThey were everywhere.From attacking the pack members, and destroying things to even harming the children. Their disgusting nature and vicious moves of them made my blood boil. Their sight only caused the rage to entrench in every fiber that ever existed in my body.My eyes caught the scene of a few rouges attacking a group of omega who hadn't shifted yet, their canines dripped with blood and red eyes stared at them in the most threatening way anyone could ever imagine. And then the worst nightmare was about to come true, they were going to pounce on her; At the next very moment, one of them jumped at one of those helpless omegas.All I saw was red.I approached them at full speed and with a leap, I caught that rouge's neck between my cannies in mid-air before he could even reach the omega and tore his head away from his filthy body soon as my paws hit the ground.His nasty blood was all over my fur and Sierra shook it away."Luna...." The omega I just saved, her barely audible
