“Goodnight Alan”
I wished Alan, my boss, goodnight before I walked out of the diner and headed home. Tonight was a special night for me and my mate. Nick and I were declared mates by our moon goddess about a year ago and tonight was our anniversary. I got an early leave from work and decided to prepare a romantic dinner for us before surprising him with my gift.
It was just a 10 minutes’ walk from the diner to my small apartment but I passed by the grocery shop and bought a few things.
Nick would be home soon, so I rushed through everything. I cooked, lit up the candles around the place and put some flowers all over and on the bed before showering and getting dressed. I didn’t have much but it was always enough for me and I was content with how my life was going.
I lost both my parents in a car accident last year and if it wasn’t for Nick I would have killed myself as well. He became my everything even after I decided to leave our pack; Nick followed me and left everything behind us. Our bond was strong and well rooted.
Ding … Dong
I was finishing up my makeup when the doorbell rang. I checked myself one last time in the mirror before running towards the door.
I opened the door and here he was. My mate Nick stood as handsome and sexy as ever with flowers in his hands.
“WOOOW. You look gorgeous tonight, Aria” he hugged me and pecked my lips before walking in.
He couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw the place and loved my cooking. After we finished eating, we cuddled together on the sofa watching a movie.
I was eating some popcorn while Nick played with my hair. I thought this would be a good moment for my surprise.
“Nick”
“Hmm”
“I have a surprise for you”
He turned towards me, and with a sly smirk on his face he tenderly rubbed one of my boobs: “Oh yeah”
“Not that” I pushed his hand playfully and straightened in my seat.
“C’mon, that would be the perfect surprise” he buried his head in the crock of my neck and started to kiss me.
I was burning up and my wolf yearned for his touch: “Nick”
“Yeah babe, call my name. I will have you screaming all night” he pushed me back on the sofa and hovered over me. He took off his shirt and I felt myself go wet instantly after seeing his sexy, well tuned body.
He grabbed both my hands and pinned them over my head before taking his time to undress me. With that I lost myself completely to him and surrendered to the passionate sex all night.
I laid in his arms half asleep when he called my name: “Aria”
“Yeah” he kissed my bare shoulder and said: “What did you want to say?”
I weakly turned to him, stared into his mesmerizing eyes, smiled shyly and said: “I am pregnant”
He stared back at me without comprehending what I said. He looked confused and shocked: “What!!??”
I smiled at him feeling the butterflies again in my stomach go crazy just like when I first discovered and touched my stomach saying: “We are going to have a pup”
He sat up and started to get dressed. I watched him and my butterflies started to turn into spiders of worry creeping up my soul.
“Nick”
“Aria, this baby has to go” he put on his pants and stood in front of me with anger sparking in his eyes.
“Nick, you are scaring me. What are you saying?” I grabbed my shirt and put it on.
“You should get an abortion” his voice was getting louder and more serious.
“No” I stood up and faced him defiantly. He straightened his back and looked completely enraged.
“We are going to the hospital now” Nick suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the door.
I pinned my legs to the floor and with all my might pulled my arm away from his claw like grasp: “I said no”
He turned to me: “Aria, I don’t want this, I want to go back to our pack”
I felt a bucket full of ice fall over my head. He wasn’t serious about me: “What do you mean?”
Nick suddenly realized what he said and quickly collected himself: “I don’t mean that. But I don’t want any responsibilities now. You can get rid of it and when we are ready we can try again together”
I stared at him unbelieving what he just said: “Nick I am not going to kill my child”
“Aria, look at you. You are just a worthless waitress and barely make it every month. Look where you live, do you think this shitty apartment is good for a baby? Do you believe you can even be a good mother? You are lazy, messy and careless”
His words were like bullets to my heart. Each one hitting deeper than the other leaving me bleeding, I slumped my body again on the sofa and uncontrollably tears ran down my cheeks. I could feel our bond cracking like glass slowly. How could he say such hurtful words? Was this what he thought about me? Was I just a toy for his pleasure?
“Leave” was the only word I could think of right now. I wanted to be alone.
“If I leave now, I will reject you as my mate and disown this baby”
I stared at him, disgusted with him. He was never a man but only a lowlife.
“Just fucking leave now”
He looked at me and smirked as relieved to finally do this: “I Nick of the silver pack reject you Aria as my mate and disown this pup to be my blood”
Just like that I felt our bond shatter completely as I saw him grab his shirt and leave. I heard the door being slammed violently and then complete silence.
I was alone.
I hugged myself and laid back on the couch feeling nothing but misery and agony cutting my soul with sharp knives…
Klaus POVI stood at the top of the grand staircase, watching as guests filed out of the palace in stunned silence—dazed, confused, murmuring what they had witnessed and no one dared speak too loudly—as if the truth of what had just happened might shatter if given a name.I couldn’t believe it. This was supposed to be my wedding day. The day I’d dreamed of more than anything. And that dream only grew stronger the moment I met Aria.I could sense Tory, Elijah, and Sam in their wolf forms, racing across the land. Their paws pounded against the earth as they tore through the surrounding land, howls cutting through the air, noses to the ground, hunting for any trace of her scent. The land was a blur beneath them, but I knew they wouldn’t stop—not until they found her or found something. Desperation clung to the wind like smoke, thick and suffocating me. The second the palace doors were closed, I shifted without hesitation, bones cracking, muscles stretching until my paws met the cold mar
Aria – POVThe music swelled, soft and sacred, echoing across the grand hall like a hymn written for this very moment.The great doors parted slowly, and golden light poured in, washing over me like a blessing and a spotlight. It was magical and surreal. I felt like a queen. My breath caught in my throat.All eyes turned toward me, but I didn’t see them. I couldn’t.Because my eyes found only him.Klaus stood at the altar, regal and still, with Sam beside him and the high priestess in wait. His suit was tailored to perfection, but it was the expression on his face that stole the ground from beneath my feet.His eyes widened—then softened—as if he’d forgotten how to breathe. Awe carved itself into every line of his face. And just like that, the ache in my chest quieted. The world blurred.And it was just us.My heart was pounding wildly, and I couldn’t tell if it was because of the joy bubbling inside me, or because somewhere, in the shadowed corners of my mind, that nightmare still cl
Aria POVI walked down the aisle and stood in front of Klaus. I locked eyes with him, oblivious to the murmurs, the sacred rituals, or the crowd holding their breath around us. In that moment, it was just the two of us—me and him. Joy bubbled up inside me, swelling so intensely I thought I might float right off the ground.“I do,” I said aloud, my voice steady, glowing with certainty. I smiled up at him, my heart fluttering like a captive bird waiting to be released. I longed to hear him say it too—those two simple words that would bind us forever.He parted his lips, and I held my breath.My smile widened.And then— BANG… BANGThe deafening crack of a bullet shattered the air. The sound ricocheted off the high walls, slicing through music, silence, and dreams alike. Before I could even react, Klaus’s arms wrapped tightly around me, pulling me into his chest. I gripped him instinctively, burying myself in the safety of his arms. Gasps erupted around us. Chaos rippled through the gue
Aria POVThe room was drowned in darkness, a faint sliver of moonlight was creeping through the window, casting pale shadows across the floor. A hand clamped over my mouth, another crushing my shoulder, pinning me down in my own bed. My mind snapped awake, instincts roaring to life like wildfire.I couldn’t scream. I couldn’t breathe.But I could fight.Before I could move, his weight pressed down on me—paralyzing, suffocating. His breath fanned across my face, hot and too close.And then it hit me—the scent. Faint, but familiar.I knew it. I knew it.But I couldn’t place where I had smelled it before. I started squirming beneath him, fighting with every ounce of strength I had—but it was no use. His grip didn’t loosen. My lungs were burning, desperate for air. I reached for my powers, channeling raw pain into him—sharp, unrelenting.Nothing…He didn’t flinch. Only then did fear begin to creep in, slow and cold—an emotion I hadn’t felt in so long, not since the accident. I promised my
Aria POV Kathrine stared at me—unblinking, unmoving, as if even the act of breathing might shatter the fragile thoughts racing behind her eyes. A heavy silence settled between us, stretching out like a taut string on the verge of snapping. The air in the room felt colder, heavier, as though the walls themselves were holding their breath. I could feel my pulse ticking faster with every heartbeat, nerves crackling beneath my skin. My fingers twitched at my side, tempted to reach for Klaus through the bond, to anchor myself with his presence. But before I could, Kathrine finally turned her gaze away from me and fixed it on the distant nothing as though trying to see a future only she could imagine. She sighed—a soft, weary sound—and then let out a dry chuckle that carried a thousand unsaid things: “He’s already taken the blood oath,” she murmured, her voice laced with resignation and something close to awe. “He’s tied his life to yours. He’s marked you. And soon… you’ll carry his blood
Klaus POVI got dressed and headed downstairs. The castle was quiet, bathed in the amber light of early morning. The scent of fresh coffee and toast drifted through the air, warm and grounding. I wanted to see my mother before I teleported out before reality reclaimed me.She was having breakfast when she saw me. She set the cup of coffee she was about to sip on the table with a soft clink and ran toward me. “Klaus!”I smiled and hugged her. Her arms wrapped around me like a protective cloak. She held me as though trying to anchor me in place, afraid I might vanish like mist.“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper like a string plucked too tight.“Yes, Mother. Don’t worry.” I pulled back, trying to mask the storm brewing inside me. The memory of Kaden, the chaos, the blood—all of it burned behind my eyes. But she didn’t need to carry that weight. It was my burden or me and Aria’s now.“Where are you going?” she asked.“To the company. I’ve been away for so long.I
