The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake You’ll See
Aria I could feel Kol steadily breathing beside me, but then again, I could tell sleep still hadn’t come easy. Even with his arm around my waist and his warm body against my back, I could feel the tension rolling off him. And the silence wasn’t helping matters.I turned under the sheets and traced my finger gently across his chest. “Did she say anything?”He didn’t look at me at first, he just kept staring at the ceiling.“No,” he said finally. “Nothing useful. Just riddles. She said we’ll know when it happens.”I could hear the anger in his voice, even though he had tried to restrain it. I pressed a kiss to his shoulder. “It’s going to be okay.”He finally looked down at me, and for a moment, I saw this fragile hope. One I hoped would be there, cause it seemed like this was only the beginning.“I don’t know how to be okay,” he whispered.“You don’t have to be. You just have to be strong. And I’ll be right there with you.”He didn’t respond. He just held me tighter.The next morning
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake What Loyalty Costs
KolI looked at Liam as if he wasn’t real. He looked as if he had been dragged through the gutter and left to rot. There was mud to his knees, his clothes in tatters, the side of his neck was stained with dried blood. His eyes were caved in like he hadn’t slept for days.“Upstairs.” I said to him, flatly.Then he trailed me saying nothing.I opened the door of my study, stepped in and waited until he walked in before I banged the door shut. Then I turned.“Give me one reason I shouldn’t slit your fucking throat.”Liam dropped to his knees instantly. He didn’t beg. Didn’t even look up at me. He just stayed there like a penitent knight who’d failed his king.“I deserve it,” he said, quietly.The words did nothing for my anger.“You were my Beta,” I hissed. “My second. You held the lives of this pack in your hands. You knew my weaknesses. My faults. And you handed them to her.”His voice cracked. “I know.”I walked towards him, grabbing him by the collar and yanking him to his feet.“Wha
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake The Apology She Deserved
KolBy the time I got back from the hospital, dusk had come. I’d left feeling a bit lighter, Agatha was going to make a full recovery, and that meant one less shadow over my already overcast mind.But the moment I opened the bedroom door and saw Aria curled up on the edge of the bed and her shoulders trembling, that weight came crashing back.“Aria,” I said quietly. She didn’t turn.I crossed the room, kneeling beside her. Her hands were curled into fists against the sheets, and she was crying, silently, like she was afraid of making a sound.“What happened?” I asked.She shook her head, wiping at her eyes quickly. “Nothing. I’m fine.”“You’re not,” I said firmly, reaching for her hand. “Tell me.”There was a moment of silence. Then, finally, she whispered, “They hate me.”I blinked. “Who?”“The staff. The guards. Everyone in the dining hall. Kathy. They all look at me like I’m filth. Like I was the one who put you in chains. Just because I’m related to Lira.”My fists clenched slowly
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake What Still Matters
AriaKol had left early for the hospital. I’d woken to the sound of him putting on his shoes. His movements were quiet but precise, like he didn’t want to wake me, but not quiet enough. I asked where he was going, and when he said “Agatha,” I understood. I didn’t fight him on it.But it left a strange emptiness in the room once he was gone.With my stomach grumbling, I figured I’d find something to eat downstairs. The estate was oddly quiet for midmorning. I went down the stairs and the moment I reached the first floor, I felt it. Eyes. Cold eyes, judging me.I passed two maids in the corridor. One stopped sweeping entirely, her broom leaning against her leg. They both froze like they didn’t expect me to catch them staring. They didn’t say anything, but they didn’t have to. Their silence was thicker than any insult.As I stepped into the dining hall, it got worse. The staff behind the food counter whispered into each other’s ears. A warrior sitting in the corner lifted his head just e
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake Night Without Rest
KolAria had at last fallen asleep. She was huddled against my ribs with one of her hand grabbing my shirt, as if she feared to let go would mean she’d walk into a second nightmare. Her breathing was still, gentle and regular. The same girl who once stormed into my life like fire was now sleeping beside me like rain after drought.But I couldn’t sleep.I stared at the ceiling of my room, counting imaginary sheep. I replayed everything that had happened that day, from Lira’s sentencing, the uproar it caused to the look on Aria’s face when I chose mercy over vengeance.Except it wasn’t mercy. Not really. It was for her. All of it. If Aria hadn’t begged for Lira’s life, Lira would be dead by now. And maybe I would’ve slept better tonight.But she was alive. In the cells beneath this very estate. Breathing the same air, only a few walls away. And that knowledge, made me feel sick to the stomach.I turned slowly, careful not to disturb Aria, who had only fallen asleep after an hour of toss
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake The Verdict
AriaLira and I had just turned twelve and I was to leave for New Moon Pack. I remember her forehead pressed against the glass window of the train I was on.“Dad says it’s for the best,” she whispered. “I’m gonna miss you.”I didn’t say anything then. What was there to say? I was going away to the New Moon Pack. She was going to stay behind and back then, I didn’t think much of it.I remembered every letter she ever wrote after that. The early ones were clumsy and hopeful. Descriptions of life in the pack. Then came the softer letters, more vague, more polished. Still hopeful, but distant. Like she was trying to convince herself more than she was trying to convince me.The last one she ever sent… I’d memorised every word.“I think I’ve found the one, Aria. They say mating marks don’t lie, and mine hasn’t faded. His name is Kol. He’s the Alpha. And he’s kind, Aria. He makes me feel powerful.”All a facade. Every one of them.Now I was standing at the edge of a memory turned nightmare,
