ARIAInstead of going to Rizz Sylvester, I sneaked out of the Mirage Paradise to the woods. As long as I hide in the woods, my scent won't reach the Mirage Paradise.Scott followed me.“Is this really safe?” He furrows his brows.“I just don't want to go to him tonight. He is an asshole. You have no idea how he treats me. My self-respect is stopping me.”“Fine.” He drops the thick woods in his hands on the muddy ground.Scott and I built a tree house on the highest tree, taking in the view of the entire pack. From up here, anyone will hardly get my scent as long as they don't step into the woods.“What about in the morning?” Scott sighs.“Aria, how will you enter the Mirage Paradise? Don't tell me you're planning on hiding in this tree house forever.”*Scott isn't wrong. I may hide here for the night but I must return to the Mirage Paradise in the morning. Rizz's scent stays on my body for a whole day. Without his help, I am doomed.*“Let me just stay the night here. We'll figure out
ARIALarisa told Ridcliff that I was out the whole night. He didn't even ask anything, grabbed my wrist, and dragged me to the basement. A dark closed room with no windows.He is cruel, ruthless, and everything worse.I sit on the cold floor, leaning against an old wooden wardrobe. My eyes can see the dust traveling through the walls.Suddenly, an album drops to my head, then slams on the floor.*What is this?*I grab it and turn the first page. It's a family album of Lozark Aylestone. He has many pictures with his Luna.“Not a single photo of his son?”Turning the pages, my gaze stops at a kid. The small face seems familiar.“Rizz Sylvester.” He is smiling in the picture, holding hands with his father and mother. “Well, he doesn't smile anymore. He smirks when the other person is suffering.”Curious, my fingers turn another page and a woman catches my eye. She has the same violet hair as I, wearing a black uniform like the guards roaming around Lozark Aylestone.“Could she be Esthe
ARIAHis warm breathing caresses my neck, his arms holding me tighter into his intoxicating scent, and his kiss swallows my lips.I am melting in his arms, drawn to him. I hate how he owns me. Every inch of mine is aching in pleasure, craving more.At this point, my whole body wants to be devoured by him.As he shoves me into the bed, coming on top of me in the push-up position, his gaze goes deeper into my eyes.I am barely holding onto my last breath.“You're already wet…” He whispers, sliding his fingers into my cunt. They're playing inside me, a liquid streaming down my thigh. His kiss grows aggressive on my lips, biting me, and tasting the blood oozing on my bottom lip.His shadow falls upon me as he looks down on my stark body, unzips his pants, revealing his length, and slides it into my pussy.A moan slips free of my lips.My legs wrap around his waist and my arms pull him closer, kissing him passionately as ever, forgetting myself in his embrace.We kiss until I'm breathless.
ARIAI serve drinks to the Alphas, keeping my head low, but observing even the slightest movement in the room. Ridcliff is on watch, keeping an eye on every attendant. That man is brutal. Break one rule, and he will drag you to the prison cell and hit you with a whip.The whip scars on my back have faded but every time his eyes meet mine, I sense an eerie feeling shrouding me.A few dancers are invited to entertain the Alphas while the students are enjoying the feast on a huge round glass table. As I go to the drinks counter, Rizz grabs my wrist, halting my steps at the table.The attention at the table suddenly shifts to my presence. “What are you doing?” I whisper.“Fill my glass.” He says, ordering me.The attention slowly turns back to normal, shifting to the female dancers in the center.I grab the jug on the table and fill his glass. His blue eyes are intensely focused on me.“You have half an hour left, Aria Ezell.”My eyes narrow, glancing at him over my shoulder, pretending
TESSAHe aggressively pins me down on the floor, coming on top of me, strangling my neck, and crushing his human side.*Cough *Cough“J-Jay…”He is lost in rage, craving blood.I reach for his face, resting my fingers on his cheek, and something softens in his eyes. My mother used to tell me that cursed wolves can be tamed with either love or blood.My fingers gently brushing through his cheek, he is calming down, coming to his senses. Just when my hopes are high, he switches back to his predator side again.His grip tightens around my neck.“J-Jay…” *CoughI slide my hand back to my side, bringing it closer to my mouth, and bite my fingers, blood oozing from the cut. The strong scent of blood draws his attention to my finger.He quickly releases my neck and grabs my wrist, his eyes darkening. I finally catch my breath but the stinging sensation is still lingering on my neck.In the blink of an eye, he sucks my finger, swallowing the blood.I stay silent, submitting myself to him.Slo
ARIAOne by one the names are called on the stage for a duel. Most of them transformed into wolves and fought as if there was no tomorrow. Lozark was enjoying every bit of the bloodbath. The duel was limited to males.Jay Manchester’s name was announced against Prince Aylestone.As the two stand on the stage, silence falls heavily over the crowd. Strangely, Prince glances at me before ripping off his shirt from his body, revealing his claws.Jay stays calm and pushes his sharp claws out. He refused to transform nor did he remove his shirt. Maybe he is worried that he would lose control of his wolf and reveal his cursed side.In a flash, the two aggressively start fighting, scratching each other and spilling blood.“Isn't this dangerous? What if one of them dies?” Tessa stands beside me, her eyes flickering, focused on Jay.“Wolves are cruel.” My lips whisper.Jay was different. He had a fire in his eyes. He was vengeful, and he was taking it out on Prince Aylestone.The fight grows br
