3RD PERSON'S POVHaving her by his side was all he had hoped for, but having her trust him was what he wished he had gotten sooner. The two drove to his family’s cabin house, which was close to the lake.“Tell me again, how many houses do you guys own?” Arya asked as she hopped off the car, and Leo chuckled.“I don’t know, but I think we have houses all over, but that doesn’t matter now. Come on; I carried the necessary things we need for today.” Leo said as he went behind the truck to retrieve the things they needed for fishing from the trunk.“It must be nice for you guys; I mean, you get anything you want, and you own a lot of things.” She said.“Okay, I know what you mean, but that is not the case; being rich is everyone’s dream, but you don’t want to know the disadvantages that come with it. I am just lucky to have been born or come from a rich family and all that, but I don’t feel entitled to anything owned by my late father.”“He is still your father, and the fact that he died a
ARYA WAYNEWalking alone on the road wasn’t that scary; I was a few minutes from home, and that is all that mattered. As I walked, I thought I felt like someone was following me. I turned around, but there was no one; I assumed it and continued walking, but my instincts were right; I could feel the presence, but I couldn’t figure out who was following me.“Can you please just show yourself? I hate being followed around and stalked." I said so, but no one showed up. I stopped in my tracks and turned to look around, but no one was around. I ignored the feelings and walked faster, but I could still feel a presence on my back.“What the hell is wrong with you? Are you just afraid of showing your face here, or whats wrong with people hiding behind shadows?” I asked aloud, and I heard shuffling in the woods.“Okay, I am done playing this stupid game with you. Just show your damn face and stop playing these games; I am not in the mood for this.” I said I was already pissed off and fed up with
ALPHA LEOI can’t believe that my mother tricked me into thinking that something awful had happened to her. She just wanted to know how things were between Arya and me and to discuss the latest ideas from the council of elders. I can’t believe that I left Arya all alone by the road and drove like a maniac only to find my mom seated with some of her friends, enjoying a glass of wine. How stupid of me!I was working when I got a call from my secretary, “Alpha Leo, Dylan is here to see you.” She said in her angelic voice, “Okay, let him through, and please bring me a cup of coffee.” I said as I hung up and focused on my computer that there was so much to do that I didn’t want to waste much time hanging around doing nothing.A few minutes later, Dylan walked in. One look at him, and I knew something was wrong, though I couldn’t guess what it was. I looked up from my computer.“Hey, what’s up buddy, everything okay?”"No… I don’t know, man, I think something is wrong somewhere. How is your
ALPHA KAI Meeting Arya in the evening was part of my plan, but I didn’t think she would be adamant about meeting me, and when she agreed, I changed my mind about marking her. I had made up my mind to just mark her and get done with things, but with how easily she agreed to meet me, I had a change of heart.I even recalled the last conversation we had with my mom about the whole dating issue: “I think the best thing to do is to just mark her; don’t be a fool, and don’t be like your father.” She said, and I was confused.“What do you mean by saying I shouldn’t be like my father?”“Your father and Leo’s father were also mated to one beta from the same pack, and things got tough, but, in the end, Leo’s father was brave, and that is why he got what he wanted, Leo’s mom.” She said so, and I chuckled.“So, I should have been Leo in this whole scene?” I asked, and my mom gave me a This is not a joke’ look, but I shrugged; I just didn’t know that my father and Leo’s father had a history going
3RD PERSON’S POVThe shrill howling of other wolves through the woods woke Arya up; it was the full moon, and every wolf in the pack was happy; that was the only time they got to shape-shift willingly and as they pleased, except for the strong alphas that were able to shape-shift whenever they wanted.She was not really into the pack’s daily routine, but she still trained like other wolves just in case. It had been two weeks since the encounter with Alpha Kai of the moonlight pack, and she had decided to keep her distance between the two. If she needed to make any sensible decisions, then she was going to make them on her own without the two serving as a distraction.Even though avoiding Alpha Leo was proving to be hard since they always bumped into each other, she was determined to stick by her decision by not letting either of them get in her way. Things had been going great for her, but she was still worried about the whole mate thing that kept tormenting her every damn day.That ni
ALPHA KAI“I gave you one simple rule, one simple task, and you failed terribly. How can you fail so dismally?” I asked the leader of the pack’s warrior, whom Beta Brian had suggested would make a difference, and he failed. I looked angrily into his eyes, and he walked back in calculated steps. He was afraid, but I was not in the mood to punish anyone; the only thing that mattered was finding Arya before that bastard Leo laid his filthy fingers on her.“I think we should go back to the drawing board and figure out what happened and where she might have gone; she is not at her place. I had one of the warriors look through her house, but there is no sign of her.” Beta Brian said he was trying to soften my heart, but I was not falling for it again.“You know, I really will appreciate it if you just shut up and let me think. I gave you one simple task, Beta Brian, and you assured me that this team wouldn’t fail me and that Arya would be here this morning; where is she? Where the fuck is sh
ARYA WAYNE The night was successful, or maybe not; everything was fine until I decided to be on my own. I felt like I needed to talk to Leo before I went home. I ran all around looking for him, but I couldn’t find him. Emily was nowhere to be found either, and I felt like I just needed to go home. Then it dawned on me that I still had a key to his grandparent's house, and he permitted me to chill at his place whenever I felt like I needed some space to myself.I went back home as fast as I could and changed into something cozier. Dad was still not around, so I left him a note telling him where I was going, took the key, and hailed a cab. It didn’t take long before I got to his grandparent's house; it was just like the last time I was there with him.Since I didn’t have so much to do, I decided to call Emily. The phone rang four times before she picked it up.“Hey, I have been looking all over for you; what’s up?” I said almost immediately.“I am good. I looked all over for you, but yo
3RD PERSON’S POV“I know it is him; he took her to punish me, and I have no fucking idea why he would do something so heinous like that. You know I am already tired of these stupid games he is trying to pull; I should go meet him face to face so we could save ourselves the trouble of fighting every other time things are okay on my side.” Leo said as he paced around the room angrily.“I am sorry, but this is not a matter of you two fighting now and then; it is a matter of solving and saving that young girl; she deserves nothing but the best. You can fight Kai whenever you want, but not until we find her.” Sophia said as she tried to reason with him.“Mom, you don’t know what this bastard is capable of; he is doing this to get back at me, and I know the only thing I can do is fight back; I am not as weak as he thinks I am, and maybe it is time for me to show him that, you know what mom? I am sick and tired. Kai this, Kai that. Who does he think he is?”“Okay, I need you to calm down and
