Aria

It was supposed to be simple. That’s what Lira had said.

We were curled up on the stiff mattress in her motel room. The air smelt like mildew and cigarette smoke. Her voice was cool as she detailed it all like it was just another story.

“You get him in bed,” she’d whispered. “Tell him it’s a game—cops and robbers, prisoner and Luna, whatever. Bind him, make it sexy. Then stab him. Wolfsbane-coated steel, right in the heart. He’ll burn from the inside out. It’ll look like foreplay gone wrong. You’ll walk out clean. That easy.”

She had made it sound like brushing your teeth. Like tying your shoelaces.

But now I was lying beside Kol. And it was anything but easy.

The room was dark, the only source of light was the moon. The sheets were tangled at our feet, his breathing soft, deep, peaceful. He was fast asleep. He was vulnerable.

He trusted me. That’s what made it hard.

The knife was under my pillow. I could feel its weight. Lira’s words kept repeating in my head, pushing me closer

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   My Birth Mother

    EmoryThe teacher was talking that I was not hearing. His words were nothing but a dull hum to add to the banging in my head. I could not take my eyes off Rain. The manner in which she gripped pen. How her hair came down as she bent over her papers. How she didn’t even for once, look at me.She still avoided me.Just then, the bell rung and the students were already pushing their books into their bags and scraping their chairs on the floor. But Rain, Rain did not move for the door. Rather, her voice was low but urgent as she moved up to the teachers desk.“Is it okay if I speak to you a moment?”The teacher nodded and looked back at me then looked at her. I remained at my seat pretending to make notes in my note book with my ears straining to catch everything.“I need a new project partner.” Rain said quickly in a pleading tone.The teacher scowled. “Rain you can not change partners just because you feel uneasy. And even if it were possible, it is too late. And the project is in two w

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   A Possible Abomination?

    KolBreakfast that morning was supposed to be simple. But I could tell something was off, even before I sat down.Emory was on his seat, lowering his head with one hand tapping against the table and the other pushing his eggs around like he didn’t want to eat them. He barely looked up at his mother when she got into her chair.She tried. Of course she did.“How’s school?” she asked lightly, like maybe his mood would lift if she kept it casual.“Fine,” he muttered, without even looking at her. “Just… schoolwork.”Hi answer did not satisfy anyone. Even Aria at least. I could see it in her eyes, how she became suspicious as she studied him.“Why is it that every time we have breakfast, we tend to Emory’s emotional needs like he’s some type charity case?” Gina asked, irritated.“Shut up, Gina.” Mina retorted, under her breath.I didn’t say anything during breakfast. There wasn’t any point. But when the plates were cleared and Emory had already gone upstairs, I met Aria near the ha

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   An Unhealthy Obsession

    EmoryThe atmosphere in the house changed a tad but the moment my mother and father walked in after returning from their so called ‘run’.How I noticed wasn’t because the smell of the woods clung to them, or the dirt in their clothes, to be honest, I couldn’t care less about those details. It was the way they moved. Side by side, but not talking. Without smiling. Aria’s eyes were distant, like they were lost in something she didn’t want to talk about. And Kol seemed like he was beating this weight, this burden, that he didn’t want anyone to notice.And I noticed it all.I rested my back against the doorframe to the hallway, staring at them. “Where’d you two really go?” I asked, with my voice sharper than I had intended.My mother blinked twice like she hadn’t seen me present before her. “For a run,” she said, too quickly.I looked at Kol. “And?”Kol’s mouth tightened. “It is not that important, Emory.”That was it. No explanation. No details. Only the way that they had dismissed

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   The Leclair’s

    AriaWe moved deep into the woods, in search of any house that could possibly be the witch’s house. We had been walking for close to an hour now, yet, there was still no sign of the witch’s home. Could she even still be here after all these years? Was she someone that wanted to be found? “Do you think we should give up and just go back home?” I asked, already tired from the amount of walking we had been doing.“We should keep going, Aria.” Kol encouraged.We went on for some minutes in silence, before Kol broke it.“You’ve been here before?” Kol asked, glancing back.“No,” I said. “Why would you think that?”He nodded, crossing over a thick root. “Well, I am telling you, just in case we get cursed, I will blame you.”I smirked. “You will be dead before you’d be able to point any fingers at me.”He laughed and the years of bitterness between us faded into a lighter air. We started to converse freely as we walked together, a conversation we had not had in many years.He then pointed to

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   Ghost Eyes

    AriaI’d been pacing my room for an hour, trying to recall things from my past. What could it have been that I was missing?Rain’s face wouldn’t leave my mind. That look when she saw me, she was not just startled, she was not just cautious. It was recognition. Recognition dipped in fear.It made my skin itch.But no matter how far back I went through memory lane, I couldn’t find anything. Nothing to tie her to me. Nothing to tie her to Kol’s enemies. And I knew there were enough of those to fill three lifetimes. Could she be from Lira’s twisted past instead? That thought made my stomach turn.I sat on the edge of my bed, pressing my palms into my thighs, trying to force a memory. Something. Anything.But nothing came. And with a sigh, I got up and went down the hall to Kol’s room. I needed someone that wasn’t Emory to talk to. And if anything, he could be of help.He was seated at the side of his bed with his shirt half buttoned, and his hair a wet mess probably from taking a shower.

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   You Have Secrets

    Emory I woke up the next morning still thinking about Rain. And it wasn’t in the dreamy, sweet kind of way. It was in the haunting kind. The kind that made your chest heavy and your pulse uneven.Her expression from yesterday, startled, pale, almost terrified, kept looping through my mind. It didn’t look like she was confused or surprised. It the look in her face looked like she was scared. And it definitely was not the fear of meeting a new face. No, lit was the fear of seeing a ghost you thought was buried long ago.“She knew my mother,” I muttered under my breath, sitting up in bed. “That wasn’t the face of a stranger.”I kept checking my phone even though I knew she wouldn’t text. She’d left too quickly, too suddenly. No goodbye. Just a muttered excuse and the click of the door closing.And yet, I couldn’t just move in and forget about it. When I got to school, we saw one another at the same time, but Rain hurried down the corridor, holding her books tight like they were some b
