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
The Alpha’s Awakening Twenty Four.
Atlas’s POVI left her thoroughly fucked and content. She needed it, we both needed it.I made my way through the packhouse, quite pleased with myself. Aria had been spread out on the bed when I left her. Her breathing heavy, a thin cotton sheet loosely draped over her body. The scent of our sex filling the room. There is certainly a much kinkier side to her than what she lets on.Jacob was mulling over a coffee in his office. The office that would soon be mine.“Do you guys really have to be that loud? I just lost my mate.” He groans without even looking up.“I can’t help it if she is horny. Besides, she is my mate and I need to make sure she is happy and satisfied.”“Whatever. I’m still pissed with you Ryan. You let Atlas kill my mate. I’m sure we could have figured it out.”I thought he knew, but he hadn’t realised that I had taken over. He was far stupider than I realised. Like Aria said, my eyes gave me away.“Sure, because she would have let it go, Mel, Daisy, whatever her name
The Alpha’s Awakening Twenty Five.
Aria’s POVSomething had changed, I could feel it.The pup was fine, but something was different in the house. A howl comes from downstairs. Quickly dressing, I’m about to go and investigate when I automatically howl back. I couldn't control it, it just came. It’s followed by a number of howls outside that seem to be growing.Danger! Tala mutters Get yourself prepared!I remember how mom had made me pack an emergency bag when I was a kid. Images from the night Ryan killed my parents flashed through my head. That feeling of dread sitting in the pit of my stomach.We don’t have time for you to overthink. You need to get ready.Pulling on my trainers. I let out a sigh. I couldn’t help but think of the past. This time was no different. Whatever the danger was, it was most likely coming for me!Tying my hair back from my face, I quickly check myself in the mirror. I looked a mess, but from the sounds of it. I didn’t have time.Leaving the bedroom, I hurry down the stairs and Jacob barges p
The Alpha’s Awakening Twenty Six.
Aria’s POVI could see the concern on his face. Not for one second did he believe me. Yet I believed Jacob. I had too!“I don’t like this!” Atlas mutters pacing the room.“You never liked anything out of your control.” Jacob groans, throwing a dark liquid back his throat. Some type of alcohol, I could tell by the scent, it stank. It was strong too, almost eye watering.“It’s not like that is going to help, is it?” Atlas snarls back. Between me wanting to help with whatever was coming and Jacob being an idiot. Atlas was close to losing his rag. He had started pacing again, grunting. Every so often, he would throw glances at me and then shake his head.As Jacob refills his glass, Atlas completely loses it. Hitting the glass from Jacob’s hand, he sends it smashing into the wall, the liquor spraying all over Jacob.“What the fuck!” Jacob snaps as Atlas startles him“I need you on top form!”“Why? Like you said, you are the King, I am sure you can manage to destroy my pack alone.”Atlas t
The Alpha’s Awakening Twenty Seven.
Atlas’s POV“You should probably go after her.” Jacob nods towards the door where Aria had just left. That’s exactly what I wanted to do, but there was something about her tone that kept me from chasing after her, almost like she was encouraging me to stay longer and speak to Jacob.“She’s fine, she’s with Athena.”“The doctor? Why? Is it the pup?” He seems concerned, but I wasn't convinced and Ryan definitely wasn't“Nothings wrong with the pup. She just wants to learn about the things that she might experience. You know, while she is pregnant.”“Any woman could tell her about that, why Athena? There was a hint of annoyance in his voice. Did Athena know something about Jacob?“For a start, Aria doesn’t know anyone here. The pack doctor was the one who helped her. Maybe she just wants a friend.”As the words tumbled from my mouth, a wave of guilt washes over me. Ryan had killed Aria’s best friend. He had taken that away from her.Because, just like every other time, I fucked up!‘Self
The Alpha’s Awakening Twenty Eight.
Atlas’s POV“You have given her reason to despise the child even more!” Aria was having a hard enough time with the idea of being pregnant as it was. Everytime I thought she had turned the corner, something made her go right back to hating it again. She needs to see herself in the way that I see her.“She asked what I thought of the situation. I couldn’t lie to her could I? She is your mate.” Athena was sobering up quickly. One of the shit traits of not being human. Our metabolism burns off the alcohol fast.“It’s fine. I will speak to her, but you need to answer some questions for me.” Her head frantically moves up and down at my demand.“Anything.”At least someone was responding well to me.“You said Jacob was meeting Frederick.”Her chocolate bob sways as she nods her head.“So what does he look like? I still haven’t seen him. I want to be prepared.”“I don’t know.”“How can you not know but be certain that Jacob is meeting him? It doesn’t make any sense.”“I’ve seen him. He goes

Aria’s POVAthena had tried to stop me. She had come bursting into the packhouse, telling me that Atlas wants me to stay put. It was the last thing I was planning. Everything felt off, nothing was adding up and before Athena tackled me to the ground, I could see Atlas and Jacob fighting. Tearing into each other with their bare hands.“I’m sorry, Aria. The King really wants you to stay here.” She wails as she tries to hold me down.“Get off of me!”“I’m really sorry, but I can’t do that” she sobbed as she tried her best to hold on to me.“Athena, this is not the time to listen to him!”She continues to sob and moans through her wailing that he was doing it all to help me.Finally slipping out from her grip. I race across the grounds, pulling the small knife out of my pocket. I had slipped it out of the office earlier, just in case I needed something to help me protect myself.I wasn’t looking where I was going and crash straight into Jacob. The small knife doesn’t even touch him. His
The Alpha’s Awakening Thirty.
Atlas POVAria was an exact replica of him. Even down to the way his lips curved up at the corners. It was probably why Aesha was able to spot her, why she claimed that Aria had called to them that night. It had been bullshit, the girl had been watching us for days before we came here. It was eerie, just how much she looked like him. A quick glance back and Aria wasn’t even looking at us. I could just about see her head turned slightly to the right. Her face wrinkled with a scowl as she stood on tiptoe to see better.It’s a trap. Frederick is diverting our attention awy from Aria and someone is going to get Aria. Try and kidnap her in plain sight!'You would know how to do that!'Yeah, cause now is the time to go into that!‘Who is missing?’ I was hoping Ryan could sense something that I couldn’tAesha is missing!“Call her back, Frederick! Call Aesha back before I rip her apart.” I demandHis eyes flash with annoyance, he was clearly hoping that I hadn’t noticed“You wouldn’t hurt
