The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake The Face of the Enemy
Aria/ Lira PoV I had never run so fast in my life. The cab driver had dropped me a few blocks away from the Lannister Estate and I decided to walk and sneak my way in, knowing fully well that Kol would have his guards be on the look out for me. Which was why I didn’t wait for the guards to notice me. I used the same secret escape route I’d once used to leave. The narrow path behind the east stables, half-covered in vines.Now I was using it to return.The moment I found myself in the courtyard, two guards noticed me, startled. One of them reached for a weapon, but I didn’t slow down. I pushed through the side door, ignoring their protests, and stormed into the estate.I found Kol in the main hall, standing in front of a mirror. His shirt was crisp, half-buttoned and the black collar brushing the edge of his jaw. He looked like a man built to own every room he entered. He was adjusting his cufflinks.His reflection caught mine in the mirror. Then he turned.And after that, a long pau
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake From The Beginning
LiraThree years agoI used to count the cracks on my ceiling. Forty-seven. Then forty-eight when the rain cracked the plaster. Then forty-nine. A spider had spun a web between two of them, and I named it Aria. Ironic, wasn’t it? The real Aria was somewhere far away in the New Moon Pack, probably walking in gardens, probably laughing at boys who offered to be her mate.And me?I was wilting in a locked room. My only sunlight rationed through morning hours when my father unlatched the windows, always watching. Always timing it.“You’ll get sick,” he’d say if I stayed too long in the sun. But that wasn’t what he meant. He meant: you’ll get ideas.And I did. In that room, I built fantasies and kingdoms and knives out of paper. I wrote letters I was forced to send, filled with fabricated joys and cheerful lies. “I’m fine,” I wrote to Aria. “They’re good to me. I like it here.“None of it was real. My hands shook with every word. But I couldn’t tell her the truth. Not while he always watch
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake What Monsters Become
AriaI hailed a cab to my uncle’s house that night. My hands trembled as I raised them. The street was quite empty and quiet. And the moon was barely out. I didn’t have a jacket on. I only had a scarf wrapped carelessly around my neck and the scent of blood that was beginning to dry on my skin.The cab came to a sudden stop.“Where to?” the driver asked through the cracked window, eyeing me warily.I took my seat at the back seat without a word, wincing as I adjusted for comfort. “My uncle’s house. On Easy street.”The driver turned on the meter and nodded, taking another look at me through the rearview mirror. His eyes caught the blood on my skin.“You alright?” he asked. “Looks like you got into a hell of a fight.”I didn’t answer. He kept glancing at me through the mirror, clearly torn between curiosity and fear. His fingers tapped the wheel. “If someone hurt you, miss... there’s a station five minutes back. I could—”“No.” My voice cut too sharply. I softened it. “Thank you. Just
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake Wounds That Don’t Close
KolThe room reeked of antiseptic and whiskey. And the sharp sting of both lived rent free on my tongue. One burned down my throat while the other filled my lungs.I was sitting in the infirmary. The bandages around my ribs were uncomfortably tight, as if they wanted to hold my body together at places surgery couldn’t assist.I stared at the half-empty glass in my hand for some time. It trembled slightly, but not from weakness. And not from the pain either, though it throbbed like a constantly in my side.No.The tremble came from what Aria had tried to do. She tried to kill me. Even after everything. After I gave her my name, my power, my trust. After I let myself hope, for the first damn time in years, that someone like her could see the man behind the monster.She stabbed me.I downed the rest of the whiskey in one go, letting it sear away what little clarity I had left.Then I threw the glass. It shattered against the far wall.The sound echoed.A second after that, my ribs felt a
The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake Just One Cut
AriaIt 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 You Got Boarding School, I Got Chains
AriaJeremy dropped to the floor, lifeless as his blood spread across the carpet. Nothing moved inside me.I could not scream. I was unable to breathe. The only thing to hear was the sound of his last breath and the slow, careful steps of her boots.My heart stopped as I looked up, staring with a hollow feeling in my chest— she was right there above me.Lira. And she was alive.This wasn’t a vision. She wasn’t in my dreams. She wasn’t in a haunted memory. But real. Before me, a woman in bloody leather, holding a bloodstained knife and wearing an evil smile.“Oops,” she said, tilting her head slightly like we were children again. “Did I happened to ruin your reunion, my dear sister?”I stumbled and leaned against a wall as my hand pressed against my lips, trying to keep my heart from breaking out of my ribs.“I—What—” I stumbled when trying to say something. “Lira?”“You’re not imagining things, if that’s what you’re thinking,” She bent towards him and nudged Jeremy’s body with her f
