LOGINAria POVI look at the doctor, then lower my eyes to the mirror again, still hoping that perhaps my eyes had played a trick on me the first time but unfortunately, the reflection hasn't changed.They're still green not even a trace of their usual colour is visible, and no amount of blinking seems capable of bringing them back to normal. “What happened to me?”The doctor carefully takes the mirror from my hand and places it aside. “That's precisely what I'm trying to understand because green eyes are commonly associated with Alpha wolves. An omega developing that particular trait shouldn't be possible.”Shouldn't be possible?Wonderful and just the sort of reassurance anyone would want from a medical professional. “However, you consumed a suppressant specifically designed for Alpha wolves,” he continues, studying me closely.“Considering the unusual strength of your reaction, it's possible the change won't be permanent.”I shift against the pillows, suddenly more alert. “Does that mean
Aria POVThe stethoscope was a pretty obvious indication that he was a doctor but what I couldn't figure out was why I needed one and judging by the way his face softened, he must have realized I was still struggling to understand what was happening. “You probably don't remember the incident,” he began gently.“You passed out after drinking some orange juice from the refrigerator but unfortunately, there was a suppressant mixed into it.”“A suppressant?”For a moment, I could only stare at him then my attention shifted to Asher. He was the most obvious person to question since I certainly hadn't been the one putting mysterious substances into his orange juice and his jaw tightened. “I may have forgotten to mention that.”May have?There were plenty of things someone could forget to tell a new roommate. The location of the spare towels, where the hot sauce was kept, or which cupboard contained the glasses but drugged orange juice?That seemed like something he should have mentioned bef
Aria’s POVWhen I finally open my eyes, the first thing I see is two heads hovering above me and they were two male faces and neither belongs to anyone I recognize, then both are staring down at me with such obvious concern that I begin to wonder what exactly they're seeing.I don't know about anyone else, but waking up to two unfamiliar men practically breathing in your face is enough to terrify anyone, especially when you haven't even had the chance to establish whether all your body parts are still where they're supposed to be.I blink several times, attempting to make sense of their faces, but the effort sends a dull wave of pain through the back of my head so I immediately squeeze my eyes shut again.Goddess, my head hurts and unfortunately, my head isn't the only thing giving me trouble. My mouth feels as if I haven't had a drink of water in several days.There's a horrible taste lingering at the back of my throat, and my stomach has that uncomfortable, empty sensation I usually
Asher’s POVFor a moment, I consider abandoning Vanessa and following Jaxon and Ezra to the car.I'm exhausted, starving, and in no condition to entertain her. All I want is to grab something to eat and get back to my apartment.Unfortunately, ignoring Vanessa has never been enough to make her go away. If anything, it only gives her more opportunities to invent another reason to approach me and I've never understood her fascination with me.Elites hardly acknowledge ordinary wolves unless they have something to gain, yet Vanessa has spent months doing everything possible to attract my attention.The endless flirting, her conveniently timed appearances, and the suspicious way she always seems to know where I'll be. She finally reaches me and stops unnecessarily close.Her perfume is so overpowering that I'm beginning to understand how I managed to detect her from across the parking lot. “Hi, Asher.”“Vanessa.”My cold greeting does absolutely nothing to discourage her. If anything, her
Asher’s POVRavenshade University is located in Chestnut Hill, close enough to Milan that people casually claim we attend school in the city, but far enough away that the statement isn't entirely accurate not that the distance makes much difference to me.Most of my time is spent moving between the university, the hockey rink, and my apartment. Those three places pretty much make up my entire world.Our training sessions take place at San Siro Stadium, and once the season begins, I'm there practically every day.By the time October rolls around, I probably spend more hours inside the rink than I do in my own bedroom.At least the apartment Jaxon, Ezra, and I share is less than ten minutes away when the roads aren't crowded.All three of us own cars, but that has never prevented those two from borrowing mine or involving themselves in matters that have absolutely nothing to do with them. “I still can't wrap my head around the fact that she doesn't remember you.”Jaxon's voice cuts thro
Asher’s POVAria gives a small nod before returning to her unpacking. She takes a neatly folded pile of clothes from her duffel bag while I mentally review the remaining things we need to discuss. “Let me know before you invite anyone over.”“Alright.”“And I don't want any guys spending the night here.”“I don't have guys spending the night.”Her response comes so quickly that I almost lift an eyebrow and she sounds genuinely offended by the suggestion. “Good then that shouldn't be a problem.”She shoots me a look before turning back to the dresser, where she carefully places another pile of clothes. “I hardly have visitors anyway,” she explains.“It's mostly Harper. Actually, I should probably tell you now that she might be coming around quite often.”I remember Harper perfectly well. Forgetting someone who had stared at me with that much enthusiasm would require considerable effort. “She's fine, just give me a heads-up if anyone else plans to visit.”My eyes shifts toward the bedro
