Chapter 145Aiden thrusted deeper. Harder.My toes curled—My hands flew to his neck."Don't stop," I whimpered.He didn't. His thrusts grew rougher. Relentless - and I held on to his neck for dear life— my moans muffling in Ryan's mouth as he kissed me deeply."Hmm," He pulled away with a groan, drool leaving his lips— he licked his lips in a seductive manner that made my thighs clench together.Aiden's fingers curled, hitting just the right spot. I cried out, my eyes rolling backwards.A tiny snarl left his lips when Ryan groped my boobs."Don't be so greedy." Ryan only chuckled as he took my nipple into his mouth."Ryan, " I gasped sharply as his warmth enveloped me— his mouth wrapping around my nipple.Ryan hummed— flickering his tongue.Aiden groaned beneath me as his thrusts growing erratic as I neared my release."Fuck!" He cursed as I shattered on his fingers."Hmm," He moaned.He drops to his knees and spread my thighs apart."Aiden!" I gasped sharply as he delved in between
Chapter 144*Arielle's POV*It's been a week.7 days— since I shattered my own heart.And probably his.Aiden hasn't spoken to me since.I haven't seen him since then. I don't know if he's still in Senhla Pack or he's gone back to ColdTown Pack.Until now—The distant yet familiar scent, coming from the last room in the hallway— the one he stayed in.I didn't think twice. I just ran— took to my heels."Aiden?" I called, unbelievably as I pushed the door open to the room— he was truly there.His face hardened on seeing me, and my heart clenched tightly."Aiden-" I called— my voice breaking."I'm leaving." Was all he said as he turned his back at me again.My heart grew heavy and I didn't think twice before running to him, hugging his back.His body tensed immediately but I couldn't miss the unmistakable unclenching of his jaw."I'm sorry you had to find out that way— I'm sorry I haven't come to apologize since then, I just — I couldn't find you, and your mind-link was off, and—""Is th
Chapter 143Alpha Draven dragged his gaze up my length, his lips curled with amusement.He crossed his arms. "Do you mind sparring with me? I would like to test the abilities of my Pack's future Luna."Arya rolled her eyes. "Not interested. And are you seriously asking me this right now when you just broke your son's back?"Alpha Draven smirked. "He looks fine to me, just pretending."Arya's brows furrowed. "Really?" She looked back at Ryan who still laid lifeless."Yeah, he's suppressing his wolf's abilities. I can feel the energy radiating from him even right now. They're both fine." He said, rolling his eyes lazily.Arya frowned. "So I just made this show for nothing."Alpha Draven grinned. "Not for nothing— if you agree to spar with me?""I'll pass." She smiled dryly.She turned to mom who stared at her in awe.Who's this version of my daughter?How could she speak to the Alpha like that?Arya smiled lightly and waved. "Hey mommy.""Hi dad." She greeted dad too who nodded awkwardl
Chapter 142"Save the fucking pleasantries for later." Alpha Draven's ear-splitting growl split us apart immediately.Ryan growled disapprovingly. "Let them have their moment." His tone was low, a warning.Oh no Ryan. Now's not the fucking time to provoke him.Too late.Alpha Draven's eyes snapped up, every vein in his body snapping.Annie, hyper-aware— dropped in their middle immediately. Oops joj"Please.." She pleaded, her voice breaking.Alpha Draven's eyes only grew more red.He growled lowly at Ryan. "I'm this close to snapping your head off. Don't tempt me." He dipped his head lower to Annie who trembled under his gaze. "You too."Her body shook visibly and she stepped aside swiftly, guilt overwhelming her."What's going on? I thought..""Is this a bad time?" Ariana cut Mom off and my eyes widened."Ariana!" I called excitedly in a low whisper.She chuckled lightly and hugged me tightly bit carefully— so as to not anger Alpha Draven who paced around the hall like a ticking bomb.
Chapter 141My voice trembled as I began. “Ryan… I vow to stand beside you, even in darkness. To learn to love you in the way you deserve, not because of fate… but because of choice. I vow to be yours—not just in bond, but in will.”A whisper passed through the crowd, soft approval at my words.The elder raised the dagger again.“Then, by the laws of our kind, the blood shall be exchanged before the mark is given.”He made a shallow cut across Ryan’s palm and handed the blade to me. I winced slightly as I did the same. Our hands joined over a sacred silver bowl carved with crescent moons and runes.The moment our blood mixed, a strange warmth spread through my palm.The bowl glowed faintly.The bond was activating.The elder began chanting in the ancient tongue, and Ryan slowly stepped behind me, preparing for the final step—the mark.My pulse raced. I could feel his breath against my neck. His hands on my waist.And just as his lips parted, fangs brushing against my skin—Ryan paused
Chapter 140*Arielle's POV*It's today.The Marking Ceremony.It's happening today.I took another heavy breaths as my maids who I was reminded were named Lirea and Arie respectively dressed me up."Something simple." I had instructed but it didn't seem they got the memo.Instead, they dolled me up with various expensive accessories and put me in an heavy gown I heard is supposedly the Luna's attire- which meant I would have to be wearing this once I officially became the Luna.'Luna Attire' was immediately added to the list of things I dreaded about being mated to an Alpha."You look beautiful." Arie complimented as she touched my makeup for the umpteenth time."Thank you." I forced a smile.Nervous. I was nervous as well. In fact, the moment I opened my eyes this morning, nervousness washed over me.The thought of me officially one step closer to bearing the Luna's title.The thought of me officially becoming Ryan's mate.The reality of me officially being mated to two- Alphas."Wel
