Se connecterARIA’S POVThe non-ending speech to calm down was beginning to piss me off, as well as the multiple times they said everything was going to be fine. I had spent the entire day pacing and staring out the window in an interval of seconds.I watched the sun set and it was the first time I didn’t see it as beautiful, but a reason to slowly lose every strand of sanity I had left to hold on to.“You should at least eat dinner,” those words coming from Ragner’s mouth was treason, as far as I was concerned.‘How dare he even mention food at this time?’ I gave him a death stare and did not push any further. I returned to my routine of pacing and staring out the window.“It’s way past dinner time. They’re not back!” I was fighting back tears, just like I had been doing the entire evening.“Aria, they’re with Draven. I’m pretty sure they’re fine.” Logan said, “I’m sure he won’t hurt them, or allow any harm come to them,”“Right. Except, they’re not with Draven.” I attacked.“We don’t know that f
ARIA’S POVThe drive home was graveyard silent. Thankfully, it was only thirty minutes long. I got down from the vehicle and slammed the door behind me. I stormed into the room without looking back.I rushed to the only room where I could find comfort—the arms of my kids. I barged into the room without a word, wrapping them both in my arms.“Mummy?” they called tenderly, maybe wondering why I wouldn’t let go, even when I could feel their bones from my extremely tight grip.“Aria,” Logan called, tapping me from behind, but I wouldn’t budge. I didn’t even notice his presence in the room until he attempted to pull me away from the kids.“Mummy…you’re squashing our organs,” I could hear Caleb literally struggling to breathe as she spoke and his frail voice calling for help called me back into my senses.I loosened my grip from them and pecked their forehead passionately. “Mummy…are you okay?” Aya’s high-pitched voice pierced into my soul. I nodded affirmatively.“Yes, I am sweetie.”“Then
ARIA’S POV “Hey babies,” They ran right into my arms as soon as they set eyes on me. I was beginning to feel guilt, spending less time with them than I normally would. “How are you doing, my darlings,” I squeezed them in, holding on just a little longer.“You look pretty, mummy,” Caleb tenderly adjusted the hair strands I had dangling in front of my face. I smiled at him. He was a sweetheart, always knowing what to say and when to say it.“Thank you baby,” I placed a kiss on his forehead and did the same for Aya. “So, I know we haven’t really gotten to spend as much time as we normally would together and today, mummy has somewhere to be…”“Don’t be silly, mummy,” Aya cackled. “Daddy told us he’d be taking you to see a surprise.”“He also said, tomorrow, he’ll spend all day with us and have our own surprise ready,” Caleb chipped in.‘Daddy,’ hearing them call him that filled my heart with so much joy. My family was coming together. The thought of it alone brought tears to my eyes
DRAVEN’S POV “You must be out of your mind,” Ragner kept trying to walk away from me, but I wouldn’t stop following him around.“You have to help me do this. Sell the idea to her,” I followed him into his room, closing the door quietly behind me. “I don’t understand why you’re so upset about it.”“If I’m this upset, imagine how she’ll feel Draven,” he finally looked at me, but still with that despicable gaze. “She just returned and she hasn’t done anything to make you believe that she won’t fight the world with you, but you want to give her up.”I took a deep breath. I knew Aria would lose her mind. I was expecting a reaction like this from her, expecting her to hate me, which was why I needed Ragner on board to make her see reason. I did not expect to blow up first in my face.“If I’m being honest, Ragner, I do not see the problem here.” I debated. “You see how well he bonds with the kids. Even years ago, you know he had eyes on her and now, he loves the kids. If I would have my
DRAVEN’S POV“Argh!!!”This was a beautiful way to start the morning and I wanted to do this every morning of the life I had left. It took a bit of a struggle to get into her and realizing that she hadn’t dared to whore around even away from me melted my heart. It fueled a burning in my heart that I had never felt for anyone before.‘Whoever knew a second chance mate was even better?’I started with slow strokes, feeling everything on the inside of her and listening to her soft moans. The feel of her grip on my arm getting tighter was enough pain, just the motivation I needed to pace up. As hard as I tried not to moan, I was pushing fast at climax. In a few minutes, all my effort to hold in, burst right out of me, straight into her.I collapsed on her, dropping her legs as I went down, while making sure my flaccid cock was still buried inside her. I laid there for a few minutes, feeling her shaky legs and firm, warm embrace around me. I hadn’t realized how much I missed this.“You sho
ARIA’S POV I carefully observed just how pale his expression had become. His grip grew weak and it was my chance to gently take the paper from him.“She's declaring war,” I said, after reading her note.“Arghhhh!” Draven yelled loudly, pressing hard on his lower abdomen. He struggled not to drop to the ground, but his growling grew louder, drawing the attention of all the pack members outside and even a few in hiding.I had seen this before. Only when did it begin to happen that we realized it was midnight.“Draven!” I yelled, trying to get him to look at me–encouraging him to fight, but it was too late.He roared in my face, droplets of his saliva fell into my face. It brought back memories of my first encounter with Darren.I thought I had him figured out and I didn't care if he became a monster, smitten by a curse, but standing there, watching him become a beast he had no control over, my heart broke into tens of little pieces.More than half
ARIA'S POV:“Ahhhhh!” I yelled at the top of my voice. The only thing preventing me from jumping out of my skin was his arms firmly wrapped around me.He jumped up, startled, then freed his arms. I watched him act very nonchalant, stretching out. “It's too early for tantrums,” he said, dropping fro
Draven's POV:“Would you look at that? A gift from the moon goddess herself,” Ragner teased as he followed behind me into my room.“Quit it!” I immediately hushed him, trying so hard to hide the smile on my face. Ragner and I would occasionally cross the lines of friendship. He had been with me for
ARIA’S POVHe kicked the door open and his presence came with literal light. “Hmmm!” I struggled since my mouth was wrapped with a piece of cloth.“What the hell!” Draven rushed to me. He untied my mouth first, before going behind the chair to undo the knots that held my hand behind the chair. “Wh
Chapter SixDraven'sPOV:I watched the heavy oak doors click shut behind Aria, leaving the room feeling oddly vacant despite the lingering scent of her wolf, which was a mix of mountain air and something sweet like medicinal herbs. My skin still prickled where I had touched her jaw, and the persis
