**Scott POV**
Today was finally the day, the day I'd take over and claim my throne.After Dad's death, I didn't want it to seem like I was very desperate to claim the throne, so I kept shut and let them decide.They decided to go it on an auspicious day, so I could just pick up my Luna.Deep down, I was scared that Aria was going to pull stunts that would be hard to explain to everyone, but I knew that regardless of what, she was getting nowhere to being my Luna.I stood as I was being dressed up in a golden royal regalia, I stared at myself in pride.I was finally taking my place as Alpha, my mind flashed once again to Aria and her unborn child, my heir.As if my Luna would agree to training the wife of a slave as my heir, if by any chance Aria would survive the pregnancy months, she would kill her baby finally.I was proud of myself, to think that I had pulled this off without getting entangled in any mess.Scott chose no one else in the pack to mate with than Crystal Bell. She was proud and my greatest foe, I should have suspected that she had something to do with Scott but…I no longer had any excuses to give, they're signs that should have made me to stay away, but I was being too stupid to see it.Love, I had called it…what was this feeling then?I had seen him show me love and then do the things that no man have ever done to me, but, it didn't seem like he loved me one bit.How could a man who had promised me all I had ever wished for be this man I was staring at right now?His hands encircle around Crystal face, and he pulled her closer to himself, making everyone squeal.I could feel my heartbeat increase and I let out a gasp, it was as though my brain was just registering what was happening in my presence right now.The chemistry between them couldn't miss at all, making me wonder what I was to him in the first place.I was the naïve girl he would use to conquer his thrust for a
**Aria's POV**The sound of his rejection to my ears was sweet-and-sour.It was a music my heart involuntarily danced to in many beats, each beat a string of its music.Everywhere spin around me in three- sixty degrees as I danced to this music, everything spanned until I could hear my heart faintly beating with each step I took. I walked out slowly out of the room and at first, I had thought myself of being in a kind of dream or perhaps another nightmare.The worst of it kind, with the way the scenes were playing out, I was certain it was never going to end in a happily ever after for me.“Could all this be real?” I thought to myself again.Yet no matter how hard I tried to think about the whole situation.I was unable to wrap my actual mind around the fact that I might have been used and dumped, as funny as it may sound.The quarters where the maids stayed was only a few walks away from where I was, but reaching my doorknob to me felt like a walk to eternity.Each step I took came
**Aria's POV**“I suppose” The new cool said as he rubbed his chin.“ Don’t know you that much, but my guess is that you are not one of the favorite ones around here”.He sat beside me on the bench I had been sitting, away from the prying eyes of others.I would have preferred my dinner in my room, but since no one would be bringing it down the hall to where I was.It had taken enough courage for me to walk out of my room down to the dining hall to have breakfast. The bench I sat at was dusty and very sticky with spilled tea and other things I didn’t want to think about. The new cook had been one of the few people that had nothing earlier on when I was being jeered at.I'd seen the way he looked at me with pity as I raced down the hall away from the other slaves when they had been jeering. At that time, it was pointless, but now with him stuck to my side at a time when I needed comfort more any other thing on earth.I wasn’t that concerned for my mental health among these menace of
**Aria's POV**I froze as our eyes met, so many memories began flashing through as I melted at the spot.My love for Scott wasn't dead, but rather I was just feeling broken.Seeing him now brought back all those memories of bliss, they never left, but were just suppressed by pain.My eyes trailed down his muscular body, that I was used to scratching ad mist moaning and hugging.Damn!, I was indeed a sucker for Scott.He frowned at me, pulling me back slowly to the present, my eyes trailed down his freshly shaven face? And those lips of his.I remember pulling and biting them until he spanked me for being so naughty.They moved in slow motion, making me smile dreamily, I imagine my lips being placed on them once again.I traced my hands dreamily on my face, but then before I could take another step forward, I heard him shout.What the fuck is this bitch doing here?” I paused and stared up at him before frowning.I ignored him and dropped what I was holding on his table, caring less whe
"Scott!" I called out as I was pulled out of the room with the guards almost bumping into Crystal."What is going on here?" Crystal asked as the door slammed close behind us .I sneered at her and almost laughed in mockery at the shock and curiosity in her voice but I didn't have her time now, my mind was focused on my pain.His words made me realize who I was to him all this while, I was just a means to an end.Scott ignored her questions and gave the guards holding me in check a mean glare so they could chase me out of the room.Without warning, they dragged me out and I watched Crystal smirk before the door closed behind her.All through the day my mind wasn't at ease at all, I had every cause to be worried as I couldn't just understand Crystal smirk and Scotts words.Could it be by any chance that they had planned to use me to quench Scotts sex drive.I moved like a zombie through out the day, everyone even did me a favour by staying out of my lane.I watched the day pass me by wh
"Nothing" I taunted making her scoff before leaving the room with a bang.Over the next few days there was nothing more than silence filling the courtyard. In fact, the quiet seemed to be driving me over the board . And the worst thing about it was that it made my heart miss him the more while deep in thoughts ,head and mind I despised him so damn good. The events of the next few days went routinely like the other days and literally I had to see him or walk past his room every single day . It left a numbness deep inside me , a numbness that was once itchy for his masculine touch but now seeking only to devour him. I had expected anxiety or maybe jealousy whenever they strolled down the hallway walking hands in hand but instead of the prickling feeling of jealousy, what I felt was in closer proximity to an anger birthing vengeance.It was as though my soul focused on the primal fact that I’d been used ,let down and betrayed and so still traumatized by the entire event. It
ARIA'S POVMy heartbeats slowed. My pulse leapt in my throat quickly as my hands came toward my hair that, I thought, was out of its root. I flinched when the whistling wind brush of air touched them again as my eyes fluttered close, and when I opened them again I could see Scott chasing after Crystal.“Fools !” I muttered under my breath. Seeing Scott’s hand wrapped around Crystal's waist made me jealous, not angry. I should've been angry at the way he had let her treat me, but I just couldn't, he was the father of my unborn child and I still felt some kind of pull toward him.“Are you not going to move away from here,” A guard growled. I realized I had been standing right on the rug, too perplexed to move.Seconds passed I realized that and took a step back, the guards faced red with disdain. I watched as the guards exchange words between themselves with neutrality.They didn't know what had led to it but had surely seen the way she pulled roughly at my hair, but something clo
**Aria's POV**Just when I'm thinking how to escape his room safely with my almost blown cover, then she enters.Crystal was like a thorn in my flesh maybe because I just wanted to be in her place, who knows but all I know is that I hated her.Scott had me whipped, and I was stupid in love.My heart jumped out of my chest as the bitch barged in with a look in her eyes that made me aware that she knew something.That something seemed like the main reason why I was doing all these, Crystal was the one thing that was standing in between me and the success of my plan.From the carefulness I had asserted while making this plan, I doubt if she had any idea.Perhaps she knew that I was up to something, since I didn't spare them at all while dishing out threats.“What are you doing, Scott?” She asked in alarm, making Scott's fave morph into confusion.“What the hell are you doing here, Crystal?” Scott barked before adding, “what is it with you ladies and surprise visits?”.Crystal chuckled so
