Lila’s pov

I could see the soft, kind person hiding underneath his hard exterior. He might put on a tough front but deep within, he was still soft and needed true company. I could sense it. Truly, we weren’t so different.

I needed someone to confide in, a friend to talk to just as much as he did. He stared at me with lingering reluctance, clearly unsure if he could trust my sudden change of heart. It wasn’t his fault for doubting my kind gesture. I couldn’t blame him or his actions, my sud

  • Not my spec   Chapter 79

    Aiden’s pov I was more than glad I had visited Lila, even if I hadn't originally intended to. Seeing how sad she looked at school had pulled me right to her door, it was like a call I couldn't ignore and also a score point if I can add that too. I knew I had chosen to go along with the bet, but that wasn't why I wanted to see her. I was exhausted from watching her get dragged into trouble because of me. A heavy weight settled over my chest whenever she was hurting, which was why I always felt the urge to be by her side. She deserved so much better than the hand she'd been dealt. Watching her pour out all her anger and frustration on me and seeing the relief wash all over her face afterward gave me an idea. It made me think of something I had been doing for a long time. It was a secret no one else knew about... until now. I wanted her to release more of that bottled up rage, so I decided to invite her to my personal rage room. It was the one place I went to vent whenever the harsh

    Lila’s pov He pulled me into his arms and held me tight. I wanted to fight back and break free of his grip, but something inside me relaxed the moment he wrapped his arms around me. "Do you feel any better?" he asked in a low whisper. I didn't say a word. But even if I had wanted to hide my true feelings, how could I? I was leaning against his chest, listening to the slow, steady rhythm of his heartbeat. That alone already gave me away. We stood like that for a while. I knew he was holding me back so I wouldn't spiral into another outburst, and I was glad he did, I didn’t know any to lose control again. He had stopped me at just the right time. Everything felt safe. The world around me had vanished, replaced by the universe he created within his arms, a space where I felt protected and heard. "It's okay now, Lila... I've got you." He said it softly, just like he used to. Just like he always did. My body felt weak and exhausted from all the swinging. Seeing that I had finally

    Lila’s pov Aiden set the broken picture frame down and took a few bold steps toward me. "I still haven't fixed this," he said quietly. I stood glued to the floor, unsure of what to do next. I knew I should be furious, yelling at him, demanding he leave, throwing him out but every ounce of rage and pain I held toward him seemed to vanish into thin air with him standing right there, all the hate, all the wrong feelings I felt towards him was long gone. I just stared back at him, feeling weak. I couldn't explain it, but a strange sense of relief filled me up in his presence. "I'm sorry I had to barge in like this..." he said, his voice hoarse, though the statement sounded less like an apology and more like a simple fact. "What are you even doing here?" I asked, trying so hard to hide the sudden calm I felt just by seeing him. "Lila... I don't even know." He threw his hands up in a gesture of utter helplessness, looking around my room like a lost puppy. I didn’t know what he mean

  • Not my spec   Chapter 76

    Aiden’s pov As she walked out, I could still feel the heavy weight of her threats hanging in the air. A Keeper. A special cult created by the elders for a purpose. To keep. I had always believed Keepers were nothing more than a myth, but here I was, standing in the shadow of one. I had heard rumors of how powerful and gifted they tended to be, for Luna Eden to be one of them meant she was truly a force to be reckoned with. I weighed everything in my mind, searching for a way to turn the situation to my advantage. Her parting words had sparked an idea: become stronger, break the bond, earn the leadership title. But standing between me and that goal was one glaring problem... that stupid bet. Fortunately, Matthew stopped by, and I ran the plan past him. I put my faith in him, trusting he would find a way to make the whole thing disappear. After Matthew left that evening, I felt confident that the bet was dead and that things would finally fall into place. I assumed Rayna would re

  • Not my spec   Chapter 75

    Aiden’s pov I had buried my head back into my food without saying a word. The remaining dinner was in silent but not to the two alphas and Luna Eden, just to me. I was till caught up in the web of their plan, my best friend MathewX Now, I knew who the substitute was, I just didn’t want to believe it was true. After dinner, I retired to my room thinking of what I was just told. A substitute son, a substitute alpha, my own dear friend, Mathew. It seemed pretty fucked up. I stood by my window all day thinking of the whole situation, the implications, how it could make my family lose its birthright with one stupid mistake, I couldn’t do that. A knock on my door. I turned around to see Luna Eden by the doorway. Funny enough how I had left the door wide open when I was deep ridden in thoughts. “I can see you don’t need company” she told me as she tried to leave, turning the glass of wine she had in her mind. “Luna Eden…” I called her back, she stopped in her tracks and turned back t

  • Not my spec   Chapter 74

    Aiden’s pov After my last conversation with Matthew, I needed to stay off the grid and lay low. I really needed to stay away from Lila but how could I? Too many things were suddenly creeping out of the dark. Between Luna Eden’s sudden arrival and that dreadful dinner with my family, everything was spiraling out of control and I knew it was all tied to a single goal. Ever since Luna Eden threatened me in my bedroom during her family's visit, I knew trouble was lurking. I knew she was watching my every move, monitoring everyone I interacted with, especially after the warning I gave her daughter that same night. I remember it, everything that had happened clearly. Right from when the attention was turned to me. “Your son…” Luna Eden said with a firm voice, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and quiet, all eyes turned to me. “And what about my son?” My dad asked wiping his mouth with a napkin. The smile on her face suddenly changed to a dark venomous look. “It isn’t news that Ai
