~~ THORNE ~~

I didn't want to let her go.

But my pride wouldn't let me tell her to stay because I had told her that it was going to be a one-time thing.

Still, I almost stopped her anyway. Almost got up to bend her over the wall and fuck her harder till she squirts hard this time around.

Fuck… Aria has brought out the sexually active side of me I had been trying to suppress.

What the hell am I going to do now?

I initially made up my mind to fuck her because she was getting me overly sexually fr

    ~~ ARIA ~~Thorne lets out a deep breath and drags a hand through his hair before looking at me.“Do you actually believe what Alec said?” he asks, his voice low and careful, like he already knows he won’t like my answer.I open my mouth to respond, but nothing comes out except a stutter. My thoughts are too tangled to form a clear sentence, because there are too many pieces pulling in different directions at once.His expression falls, disappointment settling into every line of his face.“After everything,” he says, his voice tightening, “after knowing I was with you the entire night your mother died, you still hesitate to answer me.”I flinch at the sharpness in his tone, but he isn’t finished.“No one else believes me, Aria. Not the elders, not half this pack. But you were there. You were the one person I thought would never doubt me, because you were there with me that night. And now you’re standing here looking at me like I might actually be capable of it.”“I’m not saying I bel

    ~~ ARIA ~~The note unfolds slowly in my trembling hands, and my eyes scan the words scrawled across the page.[Aria, you’re in danger. You haven’t taken your medication, the one administered to you every five years since childhood. If you continue going without it, the risk of you revealing what you truly are becomes dangerously high. Come home. The elders don’t approve of you staying under the roof of the man who murdered our mother. Aria, he killed our mother that night. I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't seen him do it with my two eyes. Call this number the moment you read this.]A phone number sits beneath the message, scrawled hastily as though he wrote it in a hurry.I freeze, staring at the paper as though the words might rearrange themselves into something that makes sense if I look hard enough.“What the hell,” I whisper, my voice barely audible even to myself.I read it again, slower this time, hoping I misunderstood something the first time through.But the wor

    ~~ ARIA ~~The moment the words leave Ethan’s mouth, my heart shatters all over again.“What did you just say?” I ask, the question slipping out before I can stop it, my voice cracking in a way I hate.Ethan’s expression shifts into something pleased, something satisfied, and it takes me a second to understand why.He sees exactly how much his words have affected me, and that was the point all along. He didn’t come here to inform us. He came here to hurt me.“I said I’ve been busy,” he repeats slowly, savoring every syllable. “Thorne is announcing Tatiana as his Luna tomorrow.”He tilts his head, studying my reaction like it’s entertainment. “Did you miss me?”“This isn’t the time for your jokes,” Mira snaps, shooting him a glare sharp enough to cut glass.But I barely register any of it. My mind has already gone somewhere else entirely, somewhere cold and distant, circling one single thought over and over.He chose her. He really chose her.Some foolish part of me had still been hold

    ~~ ARIA ~~“My brother?” I ask Sophia, trying to understand how she could possibly be in touch with Alec.“Yes,” she says, holding out a folded note toward me.I glance at Mira. She shakes her head, a warning clear in her eyes, the same look she gives me whenever she thinks I’m about to do something reckless.Then I look back at Sophia, who offers a reassuring smile and nods, urging me to take it.Reluctantly, I reach out and accept the note, my fingers closing around it slowly, and the paper feeling heavier than it should.“How did you even come in contact with my brother? Have you been working for him this whole time?” The question comes out sharper than I intend, and it's laced with suspicion I can’t quite shake. After everything I’ve been through in this house, trust doesn’t come easily anymore.“No, nothing like that,” Sophia says quickly, shaking her head, her hands raised slightly as though to prove she means no harm. “My mother needed sunlight, and Alpha Thorne allowed us to

    ~~ ARIA ~~Thorne stares at me blankly for a long moment after he hears what I just said, and this pisses me off the most.I realise that for him to react this way, that means he never really felt anything for me.He looks at me for a few more seconds before his facial expression turns grim.Then he says, “No.”My eyes widen in shock, and I pause for a second, thinking I misheard him“What did you just say?” I ask him.“No,” he repeats, flat and unmoved, like the word costs him nothing at all. “I do not accept your rejection, Aria Stone.”Fury explodes inside me, hot and sudden, burning away whatever composure I had left.“You’ve chosen your Luna,” I snap, my voice rising with every word. “You’re going out there right now, dressed for her, smiling for her, and you still won’t let me go? What did I ever do to you, Thorne? Tell me. What did I do that you’d rather trap me in this bond just to torment me while you build a life with someone else?”He doesn’t answer. He just stands there, w

    ~~ ARIA ~~“I’m going back to the human world,” I tell Mira.Her expression shifts immediately, worry creasing her forehead. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, Aria.”“I know how it sounds.”“You could make a life here,” she says, leaning forward. “This is your world too. You’re a wolf, whether you’ve spent your years among humans or not.”“I know that,” I say, and I mean it. This isn’t about denying what I am. “It’s not because of Thorne, if that’s what you’re thinking.”She doesn’t answer, but the look on her face tells me that’s exactly what she was thinking.“I’m not safe here,” I continue. “Not with the elders circling, not with Alec’s threats hanging over my head. I need to figure things out on my own terms before I come back for good. So for now, I’ll wait. I’ll watch for the right moment to leave, when I’m sure Alec won’t catch wind of it and try to intercept me.”Mira doesn’t look happy about any of this. Her jaw tightens, and for a moment I think she might argue further. But
