Aree’s POVHe was about to kiss me, but I did everything to push him away. If only he had been my mate until now, I might have butterflies in my stomach. But what I can feel now is pure hatred and disgust.He broke the connection, the bond between the two of us. Then now he expects us to be okay? He’s delusional. I glared at him as I tried to push him away from me.He’s holding my arms tightly as he pushes himself on me. I feel disgusted and don’t want to be this close to him. I can’t let him claim me.“Get off me, James!” I screamed. He covered my mouth and pinned me even more on the wall. My eyes widened in shock. What is he doing? Is he this desperate?“Silence! Don’t you dare to scream? I know you want this too. You wanted my attention, right? Then, here it is,” After he said that. He tried to kiss me again, but I avoided his lips.He can’t be serious. I don’t want his attention now. I never wanted it. He’s my mate. I should never beg for his love and attention. But he’s not my ma
Aree's POVI slowly woke up because of a faint voice coming from somewhere. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. I still feel tired and weak. I looked around and slowly got up. I sat on the edge of the bed."Later, she will wake up. Her body was fatigued by her sudden use of power," I slightly frowned at what I heard."Right now, when she wakes up. She will feel dizzy and weak. So what we should do is get her treated by a senior healer. I know that will help her. And she will recover faster," the male voice continued. This time I know that he is the healer of the pack.I stood up and approached the door to hear more about their discussion. But I hadn't gone far when the door opened. I immediately went back to bed and lay down.My jaw dropped when I realized who was in front of me now.He's my savior, my second-chance mate. And before I fainted, I heard someone addressing him with ‘majesty’. Was it dream? I blinked twice, not knowing what to do.When I recovered from the shock, I was about to
Aree's POVI frowned at what I saw. Alpha Cornell and her little children, Stella and James, are now on their knees. Stella is still wearing the dress she took from me. Her hair and make-up are messy. She obviously didn't sleep and cried last night.I turned my gaze to her brother kneeling next to her. He has bruises on his face and body. Werewolf has the ability of fast healing. So I wonder why his wounds aren't healing if they hit him last night? Or maybe they did something I can't even imagine.I pursed my lips. I looked at the king, who was also looking at me. Behind him, I see Claude's twin. This is weird and unusual; the king has two Betas."Come and sit next to me," I heard him say. I saw how Stella glared at me. I can see the rage in her eyes. If her two hands were not tied, she would probably attack me.I grinned at what I saw. For the first time, I felt satisfaction. She's mad at me.The table has turned. They can't enslave me now. I proudly walked towards my mate. He adjust
Aree’s POV“The decision has been made. No one can change it,” Callister marked.“No! Please, your majesty. Please spare us. Don’t do this, have mercy. I can’t lose my title,” I looked at Alpha Cornell and then at the King. Zavier just looked at him emotionlessly. No one can change his decision, even if they kneel to beg.“Aria, do you want to say something before we leave?” I bit my inner lips. He’s asking me if I have something to tell. I have much to say but I won’t lower my standard again.I shook my head, “Nothing.” I replied. Stella shoots me a glare, “Liar! I know you’re laughing now. Do you think you won because we were punished? You’re wrong! We’re not done yet, bitch!” My brow furrowed. Why she’s so mad at me? I didn’t do anything wrong to her.“What’s wrong with you, Stella? You are the reason why you’re in that situation. So, you have no right to blame anything on me,” I glared at her. She smirked and laughed sarcastically.“Really? It’s all your fault!” I shook my head. S
Aree’s POV They continue to talk. They did not mind me at all. I let out a deep sigh. My body went rigid when I felt him touch my hair. He took a curl of my hair and brought it close to his nose. My brow furrowed in confusion. What is he doing? “Do you feel anything?” Claude asked him vaguely. Zavier casually nodded and let my hair down. He reached for my shoulder and pulled me even closer. I looked at him in shock. He smirked when he saw my reaction. He released me and sighed. “Did they hurt you? Do you have any wounds or scars?” I blinked twice. Why is he asking me this now? Oh, he just wanted to check my shoulder earlier. “I have, but don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” I replied shyly and looked down. I heard him sigh, “Look for a senior healer. She needs to be treated immediately.” “Actually, I know a senior healer. She will arrive tomorrow after living abroad for a long time,” Claude smiled widely. “Are you talking about the girl from the same neighbourhood, Lyndsey?” Callister
Aree’s POV “Do you want to live in my room?” Zavier asked me casually while we were walking in the hallway. My eyes widened as I looked at him. I quickly shook my head, “No, I mean. That won’t be necessary. I mean, you’re the king and…” He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. “And?” I averted my gaze. “And… I’m just an omega. Everyone will be shocked if I live in your room,” I murmured. “She’s right, Zavier. Everyone will be jealous of her,” Claude agreed. Zavier looked at me, and then a few minutes later, he nodded. “All right then.” “Arrange a bedroom for her,” Claude nodded. “I’ll go and inform Beatrix,” he answered. Zavier nodded, but he was still looking at me. My cheeks burned in embarrassment. I quickly look away. Why did he ask me to live with him? I mean, we’re mates, but everything’s different. Claude was right. Everyone will question my existence here. I let out a sigh after a few minutes of walking. Claude came back with someone. That must be Beatrix he is talking abou
Aree’s POV“Who is she?” I heard them whisper. They looked at me as if I was the intruder. What’s wrong with them?“Is there something wrong with me?” I asked Beatrix. She shook her head, “No, my lady.” Then, what’s with their stares?“What pack do you come from?” One of them asked me. Beatrix tapped my shoulder, “Just ignore her, my lady. You don’t have to answer her question.”I closed my eyes and sighed, “It’s okay. I should tell them. If I won’t, they will secretly investigate me still,” I replied. I don’t want to say anything about me or my past, but I don’t have a choice either.“From Riverdale Pack,” I disclosed. Most of them looked at me with confusion in their eyes. “Riverdale? I haven’t seen you there. Are you sure?” The blonde girl said suspiciously.I bit my lip while nervously looking at them. Why do they have to be suspicious? Can they just ignore me? I don’t want to say I’m an omega of that pack.Someone was about to talk again, but one of the betas arrived and saved me
Aree’s POVI couldn’t look straight at him as I sat on the edge of his bed. Even though he is my mate, I still feel intimidated because I regard him as the king of Lycans.His eyes never left mine. He was looking at me as if he didn’t want me to lose in his sight. His eyes darkened as he started to walk in my direction.I quickly looked away. I wasn’t sure how he would treat me. Does he have the ability to heal others? Usually, wolves can only heal themselves but not everyone. Oh yes, I remember--- he’s not a normal wolf, after all. He’s a mighty Lycan King.I sighed and looked at him again. He was standing in front of me, just a few meters away. Should I ask him what I should do? If he would heal me, I should rest on the bed, right?I was about to lie down when his deep voice interrupted me. “Take off your clothes,” he said, causing me to look at him, shocked.“Pardon?” I asked. He didn’t talk and kept his gaze on me. I bit my bottom lips and closed my eyes. I don’t have any choice b
