West POV A nagging sense of unease clung to me like a shadow, refusing to let go. Something felt off about Ari, and all I could think about was getting her to open up to me. I had slipped out of the house that morning while she was still lost in slumber, but the weight of my concerns lingered. And then, the call from Aria came, confirming my worst fears. As I tuned back into the meeting, Sage's voice cut through my jumbled thoughts, issuing directives to the tracking team. "Tomorrow, we'll infiltrate the Crescent pack's territory. I need each of you at the usual hideout, ready to gather intel." The room was filled with the murmur of assent, but my mind wandered. Even the elders seemed subdued, their silence more pronounced than usual as they observed with an air of quiet scrutiny. I was certain they'd noticed my distraction, my usual focus splintered by worries about Aria.“We would need to tread with caution, there's a big chance that they would have figured everything out already,
Aria's POV I left Rio's room with a double mind, more confused than I have ever been, “let me just go to the pack house,” I thought to myself.I can barely get my bearings right, considering I'm still shaken up by what Rio said about the powerful force I exuded.I picked up my phone and dialled West's line, it rang and after a while he picked up.“I'm in a meeting now baby,” he said immediately he answered the call.“At the lair?” I asked him.“Yes, is everything ok?” I took in a sharp breath, “did Rio tell him? Was that why he asked?” I thought to myself.“Yes everything is fine, why did you ask?” “I simply asked just to check up on you, for no particular reason,” he said.“So Rio hasn't reached out to you?” I asked subtly, straining my ears to hear his voice and detect if something is amiss.“I don't understand all these questions,” West quietly said.“Did something happen that you would like to share?” He asked me, observant as always.“No, no… nothing at all,” was my immediate r
Aria's POV Before I woke up the next day, West was not in bed. I touched his side of the bed and it was cold, I rolled out of bed and decided to prepare for the day. There's a lot I have in mind to cover.First and foremost, I need to see Rio, then possibly get Beatrice's cell phone number from him or possibly go to the pack house and meet with her.I quickly freshened up, carefully dressed up and took a while to admire myself in the mirror in West’s room. Most of my things are already in his room but I'm still reluctant to fully move in here, and I love the fact that he's allowing me to move at my own pace.I just hope he doesn't feel pity for me.“Rio?” I called out to him when I got to his room, I wanted to turn the knob but I held back.“Rio?” I knocked on his door harder than before.“Aria, come in, when did you start knocking on my door?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.“Oh, I just wanted to respect your privacy,” I responded.He looked at me and raised an eyebrow in my directi
West POV Her eyes looked up at me, and I immediately brought my lips to hers, I gave her a searing hot kiss, she wasn't expecting it, but the jealousy within me was so strong that I had to kiss her, I licked her lips and she opened her mouth and my tongue glided in, I kissed her with a different ferocity, I grew hard and hard inside my pants.She moaned on my lips and I brought my hand to her breast, she wasn't putting on a bra and I squeezed on those gloves, her moan grew louder, removing her lips from mine, our eyes connected.“I need you West,” she said, level headed, I can see that she is now calm and horny.“What do you need?” “You know what I need, don't make it difficult for me,” she responded.I took in a deep breath, grudgingly dropped my hands from her breast, and attempted to stand up, but she held me back.“You would need to say it, Aria, the same way you used your mouth and demand I tell you what you want to know, so I would need you to talk me through the process of wha
West POV When we heard Aria's voice, Rio immediately returned back to her room, “How do you always sneak up on me without me knowing?” I asked Aria, because this is not the first time all these are happening.“Do not change the topic West, I asked you a serious question.” She informed me.“Let's go to my room and I'll explain to you,” I told her.“Not at all, I'm not going to your room, you'd have to explain it right here,” she responded defiantly.I could hear the sound of thunder outside, it's about to rain, I didn't really envision this day to end like this. We have had a fun-filled day, starting from the breakfast she made for me, to taking her to my family for an introduction.“Aria, I know you are angry, but I suggest we both sit down and discuss this rationally.” I tried to appease her.“Don't tell me what and what not to do, I'm tired of being told what to do all my life, what I need right now is for you to tell me what exactly you know about my wolf, if you don't tell me, I
West POV All through our walk home, all I could think about was the discussion that Aria had with Beatrice, on how she wants to go to the university “Aria, go to my room, I'll be there shortly,” I told her.“Ok West, is everything okay? You were quiet and moody on our way home.” She asked me, lightly touching my face, I leaned into her touch, and her scent filled my nostrils.“I'm fine love, just wait for me in my room, except you'd like to go to your room first, although your toothbrush is already in my room,” I said smiling at her. She gave one of those her hearty laugh and it warmed my heart.“I'd rather stay in your room, your scent soothes me,” she said as she made her way up the stairs, I smacked her ass lightly and she looked back and smiled at me, my heart felt so full right now, I'm so sure that I would do anything for her, as it stands she's everything to me.I made my way to the bar and poured myself a drink.“Rio? Can you come downstairs?” I asked Rio to come down throug
