Killian POV"Don't make me ask again, spit it out." I felt my claws growing out.*****I buried my head in my palms and let out a sigh of frustration.I had just finished talking with Maxwell and there has been no progress in the investigation.It turned out that Julia really wasn't the one who implanted the letter in Aria's room. Her parents had been conning some wealthy wolves from another pack and they shot them once they found out and took back all their money leaving them penniless. She had to find a way to treat them fast before they bleed to death and was approached by an old wolf in the pack, she agreed with the wolf to reject her mate if he paid for their treatment. She's trying to work back the money and pay him back so she doesn't reject him.I can't let such a thing happen in my pack, I have to find a way to punish her parents and save her from the life they are making her live.Everything was just overwhelming, I still don't have leads and yet I need to resolve something
Aria's POVA knock came at the door and Stella went out to see what they wanted. Seconds later, she's back at my side and smiles sweetly."Alpha Killian wants my presence." At the mention of his name, my heart skipped at best and I got excited for no reason just hearing his name. I contained myself before I started smiling like a fool, I wasn't even the one being summoned."Alright, you may go." I sighed and then waved her away. I buried my face on the pillow in my hand. I felt a sharp pain in my chest, my wolf was definitely not happy with me either for acting the way I did three days ago. She blames me for making Killian think I'm mad at him and for putting us through this heartache for no reason. To be honest, I regret overreacting and trying to leave the castle like that but I had to let him know that I didn't like the idea."Luna Aria, why are you doing this to yourself?" Stella asked and I lifted my head up from the pillow to look at her with a raised brow."What is that?" I ask
Aria POV"I missed you." He said under his breath then he pressed his lips into mine. I flinched because I wasn't expecting that but I let him take control.The alcohol on him filled my nostrils but I ignored the smell and kissed him back. Our tongues fought together for some time until I gave up to him and let him take control. Even when he's drunk, he still wants the upper hand. I smiled in between his lips and he cupped my face, his hands trailed to the lower part of my hair and held it tight. I was too tight and I whined in pain, he softened his grip and pulled away from the kiss."I missed your body." He said under his breath, his face was just inches away and his hot breath was fanning my face. His lips tasted like alcohol and chocolate, and it was wet with my saliva. It glowed under the limited light entering the room. His words sent electricity through my body and a blush crept up my face. I was missing his body too and I wanted him so badly. My wolf was so excited because o
KILLIAN POV I found Darius walking out of the garden as I approached him. He was dressed up, wearing a blue shirt that hugged his abs and skinny jeans. He was grinning from ear to ear when I saw him, his smile vanished once he saw me as well. "Look, I know what you said before but I don't think Aria wants any more space. She should have forgiven you by now." Darius began talking immediately when he saw my displeased look. "I know." I simply said, I, myself, didn't feel any emotions in my voice. "You're the one who…" he began without listening to me properly then stopped halfway, "Wait, have you seen her? And she's no longer mad?" He asked, I could hear the happiness in his voice, it's too bad I'm about to ruin it with shocking news. "Darius, we have something bigger in our hands." I let out a sigh before I continued, "I've found out who delivered that letter to Aria," Darius's face lit up once he heard those words, he opened his mouth to speak but I wasn't done, I talked over him,
ARIA'S POVI looked behind us and the car that had been chasing us had blocked the entrance. "What do we do now? We are surrounded." I asked, getting a little bit scared. Five men got out of each car and walked towards us. "Stay calm, Luna Aria, I'll protect you but you have to stay inside this car and do exactly as I say." The guard instructed and I nodded in agreement. "Be careful." He said in an authoritative tone as he opened the car door and got off as well. He walked over to my side and stood by the door, waiting for them. He was ready to take them on. As expected, they attacked him but they were armed with weapons and they were able to beat him up. "Stop it!" I shouted. The sight of him in that state was tearing my heart apart as I remembered how my father was killed. I quickly got down and rushed to his side. I knelt and begged for them to let him go. "Please stop it. You'll kill him." His blood was drooling from the bats in her possession. I looked back at the guard
DARIUS POV"We have to go, Alpha Killian." Killian urged me while tugging at my shirt. His eyes were filled with fear and I hated that he felt that way. I didn't want to believe what Alpha Matthias was saying but seeing Killian like that was driving me nuts. "Leave? This imbecile…" I pointed my bloodied hand at Alpha Matthias while my eyes were still on Killian, "Could have gotten scared that I'll kill him right in his own castle and that he set this up just to get us to leave, I won't let him have his?" I wanted to believe that and to do that, Killian had to as well, seeing that look in his eyes was fueling the fear and dread I felt inside. I very well know what a despicable man Alpha Matthias was, he even killed his own best friend, Aria cannot be in such a man's hands again. Not ever. Killian's fearful eyes suddenly grew darker and he grabbed my collar and glared into my eyes, his hands were slightly shaking and his breathing was faster than usual."If that is what you want t
DARIUS POV"You old fool. You think I'll give you such a responsibility?" I was about to slap him when a guard rushed to my side and whispered in my ears. "What!?" I shouted in his face, "What did you just say? Aria did what?" What he said couldn't be true. "I think you should check it for yourself, Alpha Killian." The guard who reported to me suggested it. I followed him to the CCTV room, I had ordered him to go check the security cameras to find out how Aria was kidnapped. He played the footage from three hours ago and it showed Aria calling the two guards into her room and after a while, she left the room with both of them. "Where did they go?" I asked the guard and he played another footage of Aria in the maid's quarters, she talked with the second in command after Stella and after that footage, he played the one of her leaving the castle with both her bodyguards in a car. "How could she do this?" I yelled and slammed my fist on the table. "Bring me the person she met," I o
ARIA POVI felt a throbbing ache at the back of my head as my eyes fluttered open. Although they were open it wasn't any better than being closed. The pitch black in the room I was in gave mgoosebumps and my heart started racing. I was sitting on the cold floor. "Hello?" I called out but no response came. "Is anyone here? Can somebody help me?" I begged as I tried to lose my hands that were tied to my back. Laughter filled the air after that and I shrieked in fear."Help you? No one will even know you're here!" A voice said."Who are you? What do you want? Did Alpha Matthias send you?" I asked with my voice shaking. "Oh just be quiet or I'll knock you unconscious again." I was too scared to speak up, my wolf was urging me to speak up and wanted to fight but I didn't let her. 'We'll escape but let's know the area first." I told her, she didn't agree but she didn't have a choice but to accept it.Everywhere was silent after that and I fell asleep and had a dream. It was a nightmar
