Ryan’s POVShe was hurt and I didn’t like seeing her that way.‘Atlas, you have to stop. You have to give her a chance!’ I force myself to the front and we almost drop Aria.“Why are you doing this? I thought…” She trails off as she looks up and realises that it was me carrying her, that Atlas was no longer in control. “Why is he doing this?”I should tell her. I really should but I just couldn’t bring myself to say anything.“At least tell me where you are taking me!”“Somewhere safe.” I mutter“Somewhere safe! Safe from whom?”“From yourself. Atlas is right. This pup isn’t just yours, it's mine too.”“That’s what you wanted all along right?” she squirms in my arms. “For you to impregnate me, for you to be able to carry on your bloodline.”“That was before when I thought I would die. Aria, you are not even giving it a chance.”“Because I’m a fine example of what a mother should be?!”I stop in my tracks, “Maybe more so than you realise.”She better start getting a grip if she knows w
The Alpha’s Awakening Ten.
Aria’s POVAesha pulls me from the road. I wasn’t expecting her, I wasn’t expecting to find anyone. My priority was to get awsy, to give myself space.“Why are you running?” She looks up and down at me. “You’re all sweaty and gross!”“Ryan…” I mutter and she nods her head like she knows.“Dad will be happy! Come with me.”“No, I just, I just want to go back to the house.” I just needed time to think. I just needed space from Ryan and Atlas, though they were pretty much the same person now, yet I somehow wanted both of them.“Aria, I can smell the difference in you.” Aesha walks in a circle around me. “But, what is it?”“I’m pregnant.” There was no point hiding it. Like she said, she could smell something different about me and it would be easy enough to work out. Especially if I start vomiting again.“Really? Are you being serious right now? Like a proper Lycan baby, created by both Lycan’s?”I glance over my shoulder, listening to the rustling of leaves. Ryan wouldn’t be far behind.
The Alpha’s Awakening Eleven.
Ryan’s POVShe sways her balance from one foot to the other, chewing on her bottom lip. She couldn’t trust me. No matter what, she couldn’t find it in her heart to trust me. I had to prove to her that she could.‘This is your fault!’ I mutter to Atlas. If he wasn’t so secretive around her, she would be more willing to listen to me.I’m not stopping you from telling her anything you dipshit!“I can’t. I’m really sorry, but after everything. I’m still finding it impossible to trust you.”“Aria, you have to give me a chance!” From the corner of my eye, I could see Aesha smiling, she thought she had won. “You can wipe that smirk off your face, it’s not just me that Aria doesn’t trust.”“I haven’t done anything.” Aesha whines,“Not yet you haven’t.”I don’t think she knows. I feel Atlas roll his eyes. I knew what he was thinking, we were about to get ourselves mixed up in even more shit.“I promise Aria. I just want to get to know you.” She reaches out and touches Aria. Aria flinches, you
The Alpha’s Awakening Twelve.
Aria’s POV I spent the night throwing up. Unable to keep anything down. I could see the looks of pity I was getting from Ryan. Both Ryan and Atlas would take turns trying to reassure me, offering me drinks as often as they could or words of encouragement. I knew they were both worried. I was too. It wasn’t right, the amount of fluid that was coming out of me. “This can’t be normal.” I groan as I wash my mouth out for what seemed like the hundredth time. “You’re pregnant, it’s to be expected.” Ryan smiles at me as he rubs my back. “How would you know? It’s not like you can get pregnant! I’m only like a day pregnant. How is it even possible to feel like this already?” “Aria, we have been over this. We are not human, pregnancy does not last as long, it means you are going to experience things a lot faster than humans.” He gives me a glass of milk. “This might settle your stomach.” “Milk?” “I read it online.” He shrugs his shoulders at me. “So it works for humans?” There wasn't a

Aria’s POVHe remained in his spot, staring at me with his black eyes as I rolled about on the cold floor.“Why are you doing this to yourself?” His tone was low. Annoyed by my refusal to accept that I needed his help.“I have already told you to go away.” I press my chest into the floor, sprawling out on my stomach and let out a groan.“I’m not going anywhere, Aria. If you want to punish yourself, that is up to you.”He continues to watch me squirm, a smug smile on his face.“Fuck off.”“You certainly get antsy when things don’t go your way.”“Why are you trying to test me right now?”“No test.” He walks over and crouches down next to me, holding himself inches away from me. Tala was practically screaming in my head. She was desperate for the fire to stop, for us to be subdued by the one thing that could help, but I wasn’t giving in. I don’t care how much it hurts, I was not giving in.“Aria, it doesn’t have to be this way.”I force myself towards the bathtub, crawling along the floo
The Alpha’s Awakening Fourteen.
Ryan’s POVBoth Atlas and I had watched her sleep. Her face screwing up as she whimpered from the pain. The doctor kept reassuring us that it’s better if she remains asleep. That it would be better for the one remaining pup. That it would give her body chance to recover.Triplets, who would have thought it. The only thing was, it was going to have to be me that tells her what happened. It would have to be me that breaks the news.All those times that she had said she didn’t want it, may have been true once. But I saw the fear in her eyes, the moment she realised the pain was no longer from her heat, but of something much worse.She’s stirring!Atlas pulls me from the book that I’m reading. Glancing up at her, I see how she slowly turns her head back and forth, keeping her eyes squeezed shut.Giving her a moment to adjust, I break the news to her and for a moment, she seems like she is in denial, that she couldn’t quite believe that she had been pregnant with triplets. She wasn’t the o

Aria’s POVThe doctor runs over a few things with me as another nurse comes in. She tells me how they had to do a procedure that would allow the remaining pup to thrive. When I nod my head, acknowledging what she was saying. She raises an eyebrow at me.“You seem unphased.”“Shock.” I lie and I see the way she exchanges glances with the nurse. The doctor then scribbles something on the board in front of her.“Very well. The nurse is going to help you get into a fresh gown if that is okay.”I just nod. It wasn’t like I could refuse. Ryan was standing on the other side of the window along with Jacob. We were guests in his pack. I had to accept whatever it is that he decides.Just as the nurse pulls the blind shut, I see the doctor handing the board to Jacob. There wasn’t enough time to see his reaction.The nurse helps me change, but she keeps silent. Her eyes on me the entire time.As she goes to leave, I thank her and she nods her head, still not speaking. I was expecting Ryan to come
The Alpha’s Awakening Sixteen.
Ryan’s POVIt was wrong of Atlas to drop Tala in it like this. I couldn’t tell if Aria knew, all I could see was the fear in those green eyes.She knew something, she knew that Atlas was playing with fire, she knew that the next words out of her mouth would be the most important ones.“I don’t know what Atlas is talking about.” She tries to speak with a steady voice, a slight wobble almost gives her away. I try pushing myself back to the front, but this time, it was different. It felt like I was being held back, forced to keep quiet. All I could do was look on and plead with Atlas.“Then what is Atlas talking about?” Jacob asks quietly. His ice blue eyes dart in our direction, maybe he wouldn’t believe Atlas after all.“My Lycan hasn’t spoken to me in weeks.” Aria murmurs as she picks at the bedsheet.“What do you mean she hasn’t spoken in weeks?” Atlas’s voice rumbles through the room. “Why the hell haven’t you said anything?”“Because of this!” Aria glares at us. She was lying, sh
