LOGINHe thrust in with a force that snatched my breath for a minute. “Arghh!!!” I groaned out feeling my eyes burning with unshed tears. But I had to cool it off. I'm nothing but a collateral exchange for my dad. In exchange of favours, he hands me off to the new Alpha of our park. This has been my life for years. Not being able to change to a wolf since I came of age has hit my family hard, as the only child I feel I've let my family down which is why I deserve this type of treatment. “Yeah Aria!” He groaned, releasing inside of me. Feeling relieved that it's over, as Bale stood up, I quickly stood up and rushed to go out, Bale was once someone I thought was a friend before he inherited the Alpha title from his dad who died after they tried to attack another pack, my dad who's nothing but a coward fled and left the Alpha to his death. Walking through the forest to my house, the thought to run away crossed my mind for the 100th time. On getting home, everywhere was eerily quiet, I walked to my room and stopped in shock, seeing the broad back of a shirtless man, he turned towards me holding the dress I changed from yesterday, before I could blink he was already in my front, the pull I felt towards him was so strong and I couldn't tear my eyes away from his deep blue eyes. “Why do you smell like mine and at the same time smell like you've been with another man?” He barked out, anger covering his features. I whimpered and cowered in fear. “You're coming with me!” Was the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness.

Aria's POV I dialed West's number that night, my heart racing with anticipation as the phone rang. And then, on the very first ring, he picked up. It was as though he'd been waiting for my call, poised to answer the moment it came in. "West?" I called out to him, my voice a mix of longing and vulnerability. Even with the far distance between us, I could sense the weight of his emotions through our bond. "Hmm," he responded, his low hum sending a pang through my heart. "I called you because I miss you terribly," I told him plainly, bypassing any need to beat around the bush. I needed to be honest about how I felt. West was quiet for a long time, the only sound was his deep breathing over the line. In my mind, I thought, "Oh my man, stop fighting it.""Aria," he called out to me, and oh, how I'd missed hearing my name from his mouth. The way he said it sent a shiver down my spine. "I've also missed you," he told me. "I'm doing well. You don't have to worry yourself." I started nodding
Aria's POV It's been a mere two weeks since West set out on a journey, leaving me behind in the pack's midst. Initially, I'd thought I'd manage just fine without him, coping with the void of his absence by throwing myself into pack activities. I'd been advising the pack members, involving myself deeply in their lives, trying to fill the space left by West's physical distance. But despite my busyness, I couldn't shake off the nagging thoughts about my mate, about what West wanted from me, from us. The night after Beatrice's wedding lingered in my mind like a vivid memory. As we were getting ready for bed, I'd decided to join West in the bathroom, seeking a moment of closeness, of connection. But the instant I entered, he hastily wrapped up whatever he was doing and headed straight to bed. I followed him onto the bed, trying to initiate touch, to bridge the chasm of distance he'd been placing between us. Yet the coldness he exuded was palpable, even scary in its intensity."West?" I ca
