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

Aria’s POVRyan just stands there, hovering next to Jacob and another man. “Aria, I didn’t…”“Don’t lie!” I spit through my gritted teeth“Did you shift?”Is he fucking stupid. I can’t while we are carrying. Fucking idiot, why are they like this?“You’re that stupid?” I snarl, refusing to move. The wolves had backed off but they were still watching me, preparing to attack at any point.I’m not even sure what had made me so angry. I wasn’t even sure how I had trashed the hospital in no time at all.“Did Tala come forward?” He asks and I see Jacobs head turn to look at Ryan. I thought he had worked it out.How else would you do all of this“Tala? Are you fucking serious? I’m housing Tala?” Jacob is throwing his hands about in disbelief. If it had been a differnet situation, I think Atlas and Orcus would be fighting right about now.“Watch what you say!” I snap, getting to my feet“This is my pack. Do you understand? Mine, you can’t change that. If you dare lay a hand on anyone…”“What,
The Alpha’s Awakening Eighteen.
Ryan’s POVNothing I could say would reassure her. Aria was certain there was something fishy going on. No matter how much I tried to distract her, she would always circle us back to Jacob's mate, Daisy.“For once, I just want to trust my gut. Tala agrees with me. She thinks that there is a reason why Jacob is so eager for me to meet her. Not you, not anyone else, but me.”Of course Tala weighs in now. She keeps her mouth shut but now she has something to say. I bet its because of Orcus isn’t it? Go on, I dare you, ask her!‘Fine!’ I snap at him, but I would make sure that Aria knew the question wasn’t coming from me.“Atlas would like to know if Tala…” He growls at me “If Tala wants to meet up with Orcus?”What a surprise? I knew you would throw me under the bus.‘You asked’ I shrug my shoulders at him“Orcus shouldn’t have been such a dick then, should he!”Of course she would know, she was the one fucking him!“That was a long long time ago, when you were you, it’s not like she is

Aria’s POVRyan practically leaps out of the bath, fuming at the words Jacob spoke. He quickly grabs a towel before ripping the main bedroom door open to a smug looking Jacob.“You have to stop talking to her about like that or we are going to have some serious problems.”“Whatever, it is what she is!”Their voices go all quiet and as I climb from the bath, Tala tells me to stay.‘Why? They are clearly talking about us. That’s why they are trying to whisper.’Nothing good will come from staying in this pack.‘Well then, we need to change that. It doesn’t really help that my head is all over the place from this.’ I gesture at my small round belly.Then you need to start clearing your mind. You are becoming clouded by your own emotions.‘Says the Lycan who made me tear apart a hospital earlier.’That was….‘Your emotions!’ I snap, pulling a towel around my small frame.As soon as I step through the door, they stop speaking. Making it even clearer that they were talking about me.“If you

Ryan’s POV“You were gone for all of a few minutes. Did you run into her?”She violently shakes her head at me, chewing on her bottom lip.“I just can’t believe it.” She mutters, not quite making eye contact. “She said she hated our kind, well that was back when we thought we were Hybrids. She didn’t want anything to do with us.”“Aria, slow down.”“It’s Mel!”Who the fuck is Mel?‘Aria killed her human lover.’ I quickly remind Atlas“I killed her butler man person!” she almost whines.“Oh.” The human’s death had been what triggered Aria’s Lycan. “Are you sure it’s her?”From what I could remember, it seemed highly unlikely that Mel would be here and in a pack. She was pretty much a loner.”Well, I didn’t see her, but her voice is unmistakable. It has that weird twang to it.”She reaches for the door handle, “Aria, now is not the time.”“But I have to speak to her.”“You can, but wait until the dinner tomorrow. Jacob is obviously hiding her for some reason. He said she wasn’t here.”S
The Alpha’s Awakening Twenty One.
Aria’s POVI waited and waited for Ryan to follow me, but he doesn’t come. Instead he keeps himself away. Maybe it was for the best. I was angry and frustrated and as soon as I walked out the room, I knew I had overreacted, but there was no way I was going back in there.Laying on the bed, I look down at the tiny bump that had formed. I was still undecided about it. If I kept it, I would only let it down anyway, I wasn’t exactly a great role model. But it would make Ryan and Atlas happy. That was unless Frederick somehow got his hands on me.We have been through this. This is our baby. Why are you not connecting with it?I didn’t know why, but she was right. I didn’t feel anything for it.You are just not trying. Stop thinking of all the bad shit and enjoy this.‘It doesn’t help when there is still dodgy stuff going on. Like why is Mel pretending to be someone else? Does Jacob even know or is he in on it? Then don’t forget there is the small problem of my biological father oh and the

Atlas’s POVShe stared back at me. Could she tell? Was she able to tell that Ryan and I had merged?She won’t like it!‘She will be fine!’ I tell him, after all, he had finally accepted his fate for what it was.Ryan knew it, the moment Aria called for his help. He knew that I was his only option. We had been arguing anyway. After we had walked away from Jacob, Ryan demanded to know if it was real. If I really was a King of Lycans, like I had been sayng all along.I wasn’t sure why he never believed me, not until Jacob told him anyway.It wasn’t just that, Ryan for some reason couldn’t sense that Aria was in danger. I could. When she called for Ryan to help, he ignored it, mush to my annoyance. He was certain that she was just being hormonal. I knew something was wrong and the moment I pushed forward, he gave up. Telling me the body is mine, that Aria was mine.I zone back in and focus on Aria’s features.“Your eyes,” she mutters, staring up into themShe is onto us.“What about my e
The Alpha’s Awakening Twenty Three.
Aria’s POV“Aria, I told you to stay put.”I don’t answer him as he calls out to me. Quickly walking away as he continues to shout my name. Diving into the bedroom, I had no idea what I planned to achieve. I had just watched Atlas rip Mel’s throat out, like it was nothing.It’s for the best!Tala was all for murdering Mel. To her, it was just an added bonus that Atlas had done it first.'I didn't say that I didn't enjoy watching it!' Truth was I enjoyed every moment of her slow death and the way her blood had beautifully trickled down her skin and onto Atlas.The door flies open, smacking against the wall as Atlas barges in. He comes to a stand still when he sees me just standing there. He raises an eyebrow at me, keeping his mouth shut. Slowly, he turns around and closes the door.“You came to our bedroom.” He mutters, still facing the door. “You didn’t run?”“Where else can I go?” I shrug my shoulders as he looks at me over his shoulder. I couldn't tell him I enjoyed it, what kind
