The Alpha's Redemption Sixteen: Woman in the mirror
Aria’s POVHer lustrous wavy copper-red hair spilled out of the hood of her cloak and flowed down to her shoulders, contrasting the dark heavy cloak she had on. Her bright emerald green eyes gleamed with an unreadable expression as they stared into mine, with the hint of a smile tilting her blood-red lips.I stared at the reflection in shock, baffled by her sudden appearance. The urge to glance behind me just to be sure she wasn’t at my back was strong but I couldn’t feel her presence and I was very sure that I was all alone in the room. I blinked my eyes to be sure I wasn’t hallucinating but she was still there.A gulp worked its way down my throat as my curiosity peaked, with my heart slamming hard against my chest as a cold dreadful shiver traveled down my spine.“Who are you?” I asked in a mere whisper, unsure of my words and my sanity but in response, her smirk widened into a bright smile, mirroring the expression in her eyes.I half expected her to not respond, but she did and i
The Alpha's Redemption Seventeen: Stranger in the dungeons
Aria’s POVFor the rest of the day, I was cooped up in my room waiting to act on my plan.Shane couldn’t keep me from seeing the man who had made my life a living hell. I wanted to look in his eyes and demand answers for his wickedness. I wanted him to see and to know how much I hated him and how happy I’d be to see him burn in hell. The memories of the doctor’s report continuously flashed through my head the more I thought about my planned encounter with my father. I could still vividly recall the exact words on the paper, stating that I wasn’t a sigma like he’d made me believe for my entire life.My eyes pricked with tears as anger surged through me when I recalled all of the countless times he’d taken advantage of my weakness and vulnerability. But I blinked the tears away, telling myself that he wouldn’t be the reason for my tears. I wouldn’t let him ruin my day or my life anymore.I kept pacing the room, staring out the window, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to come, and
The Alpha's Redemption Eighteen: Sent to hell
Aria’s POV“Where are you coming from?” Those were the words that greeted me in a cold voice the moment I stepped into the living room with the guard behind me.I looked up to see Shane a few feet away from me, his intense forest-green orbs boring into mine in a mix of anger and frustration, with his jaw clenched hard.“The dungeons,” I simply responded, not willing to keep the truth from him. I wouldn’t lie and he needed to understand that I wouldn’t be forced into submission. I’d been there before and I wasn’t ready to return to the vulnerability and mental scars that came with it.I expected him to yell at me but his eyes drifted past me to the guard behind me and he nodded curtly. I heard the sounds of receding footsteps before the loud bang of the door, signifying that we were alone. Silence descended upon us and he kept staring at me with his cold brooding eyes, and his lips set into a mean line. I felt a shiver travel down my spine as fear began to slip in but I kept my stance
The Alpha's Redemption Nineteen: Dinner date
Shane’s POV“Let me treat you to dinner, please?”Her words continuously rang in my head, making me smile even when she was gone.My girl was so sweet that even in her distress and with all she’d gone through, she still had the heart to be so adorable and amazing. I was truly blessed by the moon goddess.“When are we going to tell her?” Axel growled impatiently. He’s been asking this question since he laid eyes on Anna this morning. While I wanted her to know she was mine and to show her off to the world as my mate, I also understood that it was too soon to spring it on her. She’d just turned eighteen and may not be aware of our bond yet but I was ready to give her all of the time in the world. And after everything she’d passed through in the hands of her father, I knew she may still be scared of men but I was ready to show her that she could be loved and protected.“Not yet,”My response earned me a growl of annoyance but I pushed him out of my head as I decided to focus on the work
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty: Confession
Shane’s POVFor a few minutes, the words struck me with confusion but as soon as I could make sense of them, I was calling her name, hoping she’d hear me and stop, while I hurried out of the garden in search of the woman who had stolen my heart, but who also seemed to be hiding a secret from me.What truth was she talking about? These words revolved in my head as I ran into the house, heading straight for the stairs that led to her bedroom, where I knew she’d be.“Anna,” my heart slammed hard against my chest as I approached her room door. “Anna…” I called again, before tapping on the door but I got no response.When I tried again and no response came, the first thoughts that hit me were that she’d run away because of my impatience. I’d been lost in my head and too forward that it may have triggered her flighty attitude. She must have felt threatened and unsafe.“Fuck!” I cursed, slamming my fist into the nearest wall. The pain reverberated through my arm as my knuckles bruised but it
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-one: Mystery Lucy
Aria’s POVI absentmindedly tapped my fingers on my desk, with my eyes riveted on the fancy wall clock hanging on the wall, at the front of the class, way above the teacher’s head. It was almost five minutes until the close of school for the day and I could barely wait to get out of the class. I’d had a very eventful day, from having to open up about my real identity to the shocked principal, to becoming the discussion amongst every group of students, all thanks to Shane.At first, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when I kept meeting with their stares. While some screamed of curiosity, especially from the male students, the females looked like they wanted to shoot lasers at me. It was no secret that they all had their eyes on the alpha but now that he was close to me, they were beginning to see me as a competition.It still felt strange to be pulled from the shadows I’d always hidden in and to become the center of attention but I didn’t care as long as they weren’t going
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-two: What just happened?
Aria’s POV“Come on, angel, take a seat,” Shane nodded at the chair he’d pulled out for me as he placed a plate of food on the table.With a smile spread across my lips, I sat down and he leaned down to kiss my temple before taking the seat across from me. We were in the kitchen, seated at the breakfast bar.As soon as he realized I was hungry and had skipped lunch, he quickly ordered one of the maids to fix me a quick lunch. Thereafter he sent them out of the kitchen so we could have our private moment.“How about you, where’s your food?” I inquired, with a mouthful of food but he shook his head, chuckling at me from how I sounded. I cocked a brow in question and he simply shrugged.“I’m not hungry, love,”I frowned.“Are you sure?”“I’m not hungry, princess. Quit worrying about me,”His nickname made my cheeks heat up as I looked down and continued with my meal.“So tell me about your day,”Suddenly, my eyes lit up, a bright smile stretching my lips as I remembered my encounter with
The Alpha's Redemption Twenty-three: Another visit to the prisoner
Shane’s POV“That’s it,” Chase pointed at the dilapidated building opposite the street as we parked at the curb. The house was in the quiet residential part of town. I could understand why the family could have gone missing for an entire week without the neighbors finding out. The neighborhood was more like an estate where everyone minded their business.Together, with the sentinels that had followed us, we alighted the cars and approached the building with visible soot stains and with half of the roof gone from when it had been burning. The front door was blown open and even the glasses on the windows were gone, with the shards scattered about. It seemed more like an explosion, rather than just a natural fire disaster.“You think this was set up?” I asked Chase, just to confirm my thoughts. He glanced at me and his eyes returned to the building again, just as the Sentinels approached the open entrance. I raised a hand for them to stop and they did.I didn’t want to risk any of my men
