CHAPTER 60Aria It was time to go to bed, and all I had on my lips was a hidden smile. I kept recalling how special the hug Zion gave me was. I would admit I was expecting more but fate must have prevented that for good.Gosh I wrapped myself in a blanket and turned out the light. I did not notice anything unusual because I could see everything perfectly even in the dark.I made the mistake of shutting my eyes, and the spirits came to steal me from my slumber."Please help, Aunt Aria," I heard the twins wail in a cage of moonlight."Wait, I am coming," I said, dashing towards them, but I could not get closer. The closer I thought I was getting the further they were.The girls were yelling my name while weeping, and I kept promising them everything would be fine, even though I did not comprehend what was going on. It went on for a while till the moonlight faded and the twin wolves were resting on the ground.I eventually went to them, but there was no response from their bodies. I
CHAPTER 59Zion Mike has always despised the truth, and I could tell Claus had no idea he was married to a daughter of the witch bloodline. Camila is unable to have an heir, and his people will suffer for decades unless the Goddess frees them. I could not feel sorry for him after what he had done to Aria and threatened to do.There was going to be a battle at the border, but Mike seemed extremely uncomfortable when I said that witches do not age, and his sister did appear to dislike what I said too.I know Claus is doomed since Camila did not marry him out of love. Something deeper and darker was undoubtedly behind all of this, but Aria and my pack came first.After threatening to retaliate at an unforeseen moment, they all drove away as I returned to the Pack. It was nearly nightfall, so I couldn't head home without having to tell the elders what had happened.“How dare those Alphas come here?” one commented."That is correct, Mike is a very dangerous individual, and we must act q
CHAPTER 58Zion Aria is driving me nuts. And being close to her is even more tempting. I always want to steal a kiss. I have not felt that way in years, and I can not stop wanting to be near her, like a centimeter apart.When she fainted, I had no idea what would happen, but the flames dripping from her palm were not enough to keep me from picking her up.I could see everything it fell on begin to burn, yet my wolf and I chose our mate.Yes, she is, and we're tired of denying the truth. Aria is different in every way I could ever describe. Her food, her demeanor, and her powers are nothing like anything my people and I have ever seen.“Would you like to join me?" I inquired since I was about to go to the battlefield.“Yes Alpha," she smiled.I took my protection bead and wrapped it around my wrist before exiting. The energy was peaceful, and I could feel something significant was going to occur. I just couldn't figure out what it was.“Alpha, would you like me to drive?" Thea inqui
CHAPTER 57 Aria "Please hear him out, Aria; we might make things work," he urged, but I refused to give him a chance.He was going to grab my hand when I jerked it back and slapped him hard, something I never imagined I would be able to do. “Aria, I love you; I can not picture life without you," he continued, attempting to go down on his knees, but I could see the lies through his teeth."You murdered me, you killed us, and everything we would have been go away," I said to Claus before burning him alive.I didn't even care about the screams of pain. He needed to die if I had to live.“No!" I muttered when I opened my eyes and attempted to sit up, but couldn't.“Aria," Zion whispered, holding my hand.I looked around and noticed that I was not only in his room, but also on his bed. For the second time. I could not recall what happened after those dizzy spells took hold of me."You need to relax; is there anything you would like me to do?" the Alpha inquired.Without saying anything
CHAPTER 56Claus “Son, what's going on?" Mom asked.“It's nothing, what are the elders saying?" I responded.She smiled wickedly and said, "We only need to make our move now that they have labeled Aria a witch and traitor."It is quite difficult to undertake things without the council's agreement. After Aria was exiled, several elders, including Simon, wanted her to be brought back, but I could not allow that to happen now.But I need her so desperately that I had to devise a plan that would enrage the council and make them wish her dead for me to get her heart.I do not care how it is done, but I know the elders will not rest until Aria is returned to Nightshade dead or alive. I only hope she does not use her powers against us because I have not informed anyone that she is the Moonfire."Alpha breakfast is ready," Camila announced as she entered our room, but I was also not in the mood to speak with her."I am OK, thanks," I answered, going for my blazer as she blocked the way.“I'
CHAPTER 55Aria I am not sure what occurred, but after my date with the Alpha, I am feeling a bit different about things. White has been silent for the past 24 hours since things did not go her way, and I do not feel guilty about it.She's crazy.“How'd it go?" Patricia asked, smiling at me."Great," I said, not wanting to go into too much detail.Some things are not to be let out of the bag."Okay, I am delighted for you; have you heard the whispers?" she asked and I wasn't interested.“No, but I'm fine without having to know a thing." "Okay, if you say so, are you not going to prepare the Alpha breakfast?" she said, and I recalled how he struggled to eat.Even though I thought the dish was mouthwatering, it seemed bland. "Please pardon me," I said, getting out of bed and then heading to the kitchen.Jordan was meditating as I passed by the living room, which is usually a must. I was startled since I had never seen him do that in there. Before anything could happen, I walked into t
