Aria's POV I smiled, even though I was still hurting.The pain in my body hadn’t gone away, but the fear in Lucas’s eyes made me forget it for a second. He had gone pale. His mouth was open, like he’d seen a ghost. His warriors were panicking too, looking around, whispering, unsure of what to do. They were scared of me. They should be.b I'm also scared of my ability to survive something as lethal as that. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost, Lucas,” I said, walking toward him slowly. My steps were weak, but I forced them to look strong. “Or are you surprised your stupid poison didn’t work?”He didn’t say anything.I chuckled coldly, even though it hurt to laugh. “You tried to kill me again. You failed again. And now, you’ve made me really angry. That was your last mistake.”His hand trembled slightly. He was trying to act tough, but I could see the fear all over him.“You think I’m scared of you?” he finally said, his voice shaking a bit. “You should’ve died!”“And yet, I’m standing
Xeros’s POVI didn’t see it coming.One second Aria was beside me, walking out of that bastard Alpha’s pack house and the next second, I heard the sharp sound of something cutting through the air.An arrow hit her before I could stop it.“Aria!” I shouted, catching her in my arms before her body hit the ground.My heart froze.Her face turned pale immediately. Her lips started to lose color. Her breathing slowed down so fast it scared the hell out of me. I looked at the arrow—it had a greenish liquid on the tip.It was poison. How dare they do this? Isn't this deliberately asking for death did their pack?“Get down!” Carlo yelled behind me as more arrows started flying.Alexander pulled out his blade and started deflecting the ones that came too close. Warriors behind us fought hard, shielding us as more of Lucas's men appeared from behind the buildings. It was an ambush.All for Aria? Alexander rushed to my side. “Is she okay?!”I looked down at her. My hands trembled. “She fainted…
Chapter 108 Aria's POV I stood still, staring directly at the Alpha. My hands were clenched tightly at my sides. I wasn’t going to let this go easily. Not this time.“You don’t have a choice,” I said quietly, but my voice shook the air. “If you don’t reopen the investigation, I’ll expose everything this pack has tried to cover up.”His eyes twitched slightly. He looked at me, then at the three brothers standing beside me like shadows of judgment. Xeros, Alexander, and Carlo didn’t say a word. But their presence alone was enough pressure.The Alpha sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead. “Fine,” he finally muttered. “We’ll reinvestigate. But it must be fast. I won’t allow this to cause unnecessary panic in the pack.”I nodded slowly. “Good. Then don’t waste my time.”Sage stood behind him, her eyes wide in disbelief. Her lips were trembling now, no more smirks. She was scared. I could see it. That alone made me feel stronger.But I wasn’t done yet.“I want her arrested,” I said sharply,
Aria's POV "What exactly do you have to say to me that you're so presumptuous and rude? Even if you're no longer in this pack, I'm still an Alpha, and I have lots of ranks higher than yours," he said, facing me.I shrugged. "Rank doesn't matter to me anymore. I don't care what you fucking say. I'm here to report to you about your son."Lucas wanted to say something, but Alexander quickly covered his mouth. He's probably trying to threaten me into not saying anything. I wasn't going to talk about him because I came solely for the purpose of asking Sage to confess. But now, how about I just ruin everything between them?"What has he done this time around?" he asked me.So he even knows his son is very useless and always bringing troubles to him. Well, they should be able to solve it amongst themselves once I leave this place.I nodded my head. "You see? Your son attacked Alpha Xeros a while ago, and it was hard for him to recover. But he still did, thanks to me. But now, he's trying to
Aria's POV "What do you still have to ask me? Are you going to be shameless and not leave while we are still being nice to you?" She fired at me. I can see she's scared because she doesn't know what I'm going to say next. What I want to say might ruin the relationship between her and Lucas, which is something that I'm very much looking forward to."Why are you so scared, sister? I haven't even said anything, yet you are shaking like a leaf. Could it be that you have some secrets you're hiding from your boyfriend?" I asked her, mockingly."What secrets? You know nothing about me!" She shouted at me. I nodded, "Then, I request an audience with the Alpha."I noticed people were starting to gather around us, and Sage really looked uncomfortable. This made me more happy because it was finally time for everyone to see her true face. I was joking earlier when I said I had evidence, something that happened years ago. I don't really have evidence of that, but I have a way of making her con
Xeros's POV I should have known this girl was not to be trusted alone. We didn't want her to suffer or bother herself, and we were secretly planning to go by ourselves to that park and grab her sister for judgment. But we didn't know she would actually leave the house by herself.It started when we decided to look for her. We've been ignoring her, and we thought that would bring her back to her senses. We didn't know it would actually make her more annoying.We only got mad at her because she kept doing things without asking for our permission and she didn't think of the consequences. We're not trying to cage her or anything, but trying to protect her. "Do you think we should stop being so annoying and give in to her?" I asked Alexander. He sighed, "It's not like we can resist her for long." We looked at ourselves and decided that we should go and check on her. We couldn't continue ignoring her, but this should be enough to teach her that she's not supposed to do things on her own
Aria's POV Looking at Sage being so confident because I came back to the pack made me so angry. Looking at the one person who has the same faith as me, hate me more than anything, was something always hard for me to watch. I always saw her as my sister and never knew she would be this way to me. Even after everything she did, I was still willing to forgive her. But yes, she is so bent on getting me out of the way."I'm here to talk to you, Sage, not to fight you. I'm very sure you don't think I came here confidently with no backup, right?" I said to her, she looked at me like I was lying, and even I also know that I was lying. I left without telling the brothers.She scoffed, "So what? It doesn't change the fact that you've walked into the lion's den yourself and you're about to be eaten by him. Do you know what I mean?"I smiled at her. "But you guys are no lion. Since when did you werewolves start comparing yourselves to lions?"They looked offended by what I said. Lucas immediate
Aria's POV "Did you just look down on all of us? Did you just hear her call herself the future luna of a pack?" One of them said and they all started laughing again. "Someone! Get her down and drag her to the dungeon. She deserves to be killed!" The leader of the stupid girls said. I knew they were going to come close to me as soon as possible and I quickly used the method I planned on them. I was hiding a pepper spray behind me and not just some kind of pepper spray. It was a little one that would at least make them blind for the next one hour before they are able to wash it off. And even if they wash it away, they would still have to get treatment for it for the next few weeks. But they all deserve what is about to come to them. As soon as they came closer to me, I didn't waste time in spraying it towards their eyes at once. And they all fell to the ground."You bitch! How dare you pepper spray us? My eyes burns! What is this? Help! Someone help us! She's trying to kill us!"The
Aria's POV I'm going to muster up the courage to find my sister at my old pack. Even though I'm scared of going there, I still have to go and finish up what I started. It starts with seeing Sage and finding out what is going on with her now. I'm very sure she must have seen the news and is looking for ways to dispel the rumor right now. But what happened between us isn't just a baseless rumor. It's the truth. And she might try to distort it, or she's probably looking for ways to kill me now. I need to make her confess to this in person, which is also why I'm going.I didn't tell the brothers I was going because I had the right to go wherever I wanted, even though I promised not to go out just like that again because I wanted to protect myself. But it doesn't matter anyway. They've always protected me long enough, and I don't want them to keep having to bother themselves because of me.I decided to go after they kept ignoring me and I couldn't talk to them. I thought I would be able
