Aria's povI whimpered and the tears stopped coming out, I was merely resting my head on his shoulder when I heard a knock at the door.We made our way downstairs, opened the door and Beatrice came in.“Are you ready? We need to go and question Tim.” She said with a smug smirk on her face. I gave her a small smile while Rio simply waved at her.“I'm not sure you girls would be needing me,but don't you think you should let West know that I intend going there,” he asked me.“Rio?” I said placing my hand on his arm, “I'll tell West, I'll tell him everything, but let me just do this now, so that I can be certain of what to tell him.” I told Rio, hoping he would understand me, he simply nodded at me, he held my hands and looked me directly in the eyes, my heart thudded with the thoughts of what he wanted to say.“I consider you my sister already, you are in love with my brother, so that makes you family, I just want you to stay safe, don't allow that man to get to you, don't get too close
Aria's POV Every moment that passes by in my life, I always feel the urge to do something, I need to take action, sitting down will not help me and I can't fathom how I can just stay still when it feels like everything is falling apart in my life.Rio has always been a constant support in my life, even when we just met and we barely know each other, I can't afford to lose him as a friend.By the time he gave me access to his room, I was already shying away from opening up to him. “Are you going to come in? Or do you choose to stand out there and have double thoughts?” He asked.“Ho… how did you know?” I stuttered.“Your face mirrors your thoughts, you don't know how to mask it just yet,” he told me, “maybe when you have your wolf, you will, our wolves help us with that.” I stepped into his room and sat down on the bed, I can still picture vividly what transpired here. Looking at my hands a tremor went through my body and I couldn't look up at him, “who am I?” I asked myself once agai
West POV I turned back and I'm face to face with the person we trailed when we wanted to locate Hope, Aria's mum.“I asked you a question, who are you?” He boomed at me.He doesn't know who I am, I doubt any of them can place the fact that I'm the Alpha of Bloodmoon pack.“I.. I'm, I was sent here,” I stuttered, intentionally acting stupid, so he doesn't take me seriously, he drew closer to me, letting his guard down and immediately I attacked, snapping his neck to make him lose consciousness, “Come to the door I entered through, come there now,” I informed Sage through the mind link,“Yes Alpha,” he responded immediately.I picked up the usb flash drive that I saw in the drawer and searched his pocket and saw another flash drive, and identical one to the flash drive in the drawer.I carried him over my shoulder and quickly made my way to that door, Sage was already waiting for me there.“Do you have a wolfsbane with you?” I asked Sage immediately I saw him, still walking into the f
West POV I quickly made my way through the forest, entering the crescent pack. I headed straight to their Alpha's den, before getting to the den, I heard a low howl and I quickly diverted to the other side of that forest. Sage and one other spy were there, in human form.I quickly shifted and joined them, “Alpha, you're here,” Sage said immediately after I got there.“Yes,” I responded to him, without brooking further arguments.“Brooke is dead, Alpha and his body was disposed here,” Sage told me, pointing at the area that a decomposed body was in.“How do you know that it is him?” “Alpha, if I may speak,” the other spy that's with him asked, looking at him I simply nodded.“I worked with Brooke for the most of my life, the way he smells have been permeated into my nostrils and if you look at this part of his hands, he had a piercing done there, the jewellery he wore is still there, you can take a closer look,” I crouched down and looked at what he was showing me, and truth to his
West POV I observed Willow from head to toe, what she was wearing was very skimpy, I know she intentionally wore that because she felt my presence.“Willow? What are you doing here?” I asked her.“I'm here to see you West, I've missed you, I miss us.” She complained trying to pout at me, but I really can't be shaken by that.“You would have to stop with this act, don't think I don't know what you are going about telling the pack members about my mate, now you want to seduce me even though you're aware I have a mate?” I looked at her calmly, I can see through her charade, and it's getting ridiculous at this point.She bowed her head in defeat, I really can sense the fact that she feels lost and troubled.“You're just getting away with a warning thanks to your dad,” I told her, her lips began to quiver and before I could say anything else, she ran back towards the direction of her room.I stood by the door, looking at the direction she left for a very long time, I felt nothing but pity
Aria's POV “Back to our conversation, Aria, you would need to go and see Tim, you would need to find out more from him, right now you don't have any other choice,” she said, i can't shake off this feeling within me.“Why are you acting like you didn't hear what he said?” I asked her.“I'm not acting like I didn't hear anything, but I don't see the need to add my quota,” “What do you even mean by that?” I asked her.“Aria, you're not a child, you know exactly what you are doing, any decision that you make, you would have possibly thought about them thoroughly, so yes I know that you know what you are doing, and I can't tell you otherwise, only you have your reason for not trusting your mate, I can't tell you what to do.” She said, touching me lightly, I couldn't help but shiver and shake at her words. I tried to keep the tears at bay but a sob wracked my body and I broke down. She immediately enveloped me in her embrace.“You can cry it out honey, I'm here for you, and I understand y
