ARIA'S POV: Nothing seemed to make sense It was always one secret after another, one mystery after another I thought wolves only get one mate What could have happened to their previous mate? Am I really safe here? I blindly made my way back into the mansion, worry lines etched deep into my face Suddenly, I realized just how alone I really am in this world, nobody to complain or rant to. The world seemed so grey right then, even when I thought I had somebody I was actually alone Oh, such a pathetic soul I am I wasn't expecting to see Alpha Alexander waiting for me at the hallway entrance and he looked so pissed, the veins in his jaw were ticking and that was when I remembered that I had broken the first rule, I had left the mansion. Timidly, I walked up to him ready to apologize, "I'm….." "I need to have a word with you, follow me!" I was taken aback by the coldness in his voice, but I didn't have the time to dwell on that as he was already walking away, I practically had
ALEXANDER'S POV:I knew it would hurt her, I knew that lowlife's confession would hurt her.I just didn't know how muchI had hoped it wouldn't hurt her so much because that just goes to show how much she truly loved him, she was probably excited when the guards called her to come see Patrick only to have her fragile heart broken into a million piecesAnd now she was nowhere to be seen in the mansion, the guards said she wasn't in her room, maybe I should've gone after her the moment she ran out of the hall of judgementI hadn't expected Patrick to be a fraud either, I believed he genuinely cared for my mate, not until my guards told me that after seperating him from my mate on the day of the anniversary, he kept howling and shouting, saying we had ruined his plan and he will never see an opportunity like this againThat was when I got suspicious enough to torture the truth out of himAnd I must say it has been an exhausting ventureI slid the double glass doors that connected my room
There was great tension in the air Or maybe it was just me With clenched fists I stared at Patrick What was he apologizing for? I could smell it, I could smell that something serious was about to happen, something I might not be able to take But I forced myself to continue listening because he was still talking; “But you know Aria, you know how difficult life is for us omegas. The slavery, the feeling of never being good enough...” I stared as the tears rushed from his closed eyelids “Nothing we did mattered, and...and I just wanted.... I wanted more out of life Aria. I DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS! I DIDN’T CHOOSE TO BE AN OMEGA!” I flinched at his raised voice, but a guard used a cane to silence him on his already bloody back “Urgh... that was why, that was I why I made the decision to give you up Aria, I’m sorry...” Give me up? My heart was already shattering into pieces even before my brain could register what he was saying, “wha... what are you saying Patrick?” “There was a bount
We almost kissedWe almost kissed but then I pushed himI pushed him and I called him wickedHe looked hurt, did my words hurt him?Will he really let me see Patrick tomorrow?But what was that feeling? What was that feeling in my bones? The anticipation settling like a pool in my stomachThe unease between my legsThe speed in my breathingI had never felt like that in my life beforeIs that what having a mate does to you?I sat still in the same posture pondering these things, afraid to even move as though if I moved he would come backI sat still till I fell asleep, my mind replaying images of Alpha Alexander on top of me even in my dreamsI didn't wake till I heard someone knocking persistently against my doorIt caused me to jolt awakeIt was morning alreadyI hesitated to open the door, in a foreign environment one could never be too careful, but when I did open the door I came face to face with two scary looking guards, perhaps I found them scary because I could see the restles
Aria’s PpOV"Where's Ethan?" a hand on my upper back was enough to pull me from my daze, wondering helplessly if I had heard correctly. I turned to meet Alpha Alexander's vibrant green eyes and opened my mouth to answer, "He…h…he just left." His left brow went up at my stuttering "are you okay mate?" "yes, yes I am" I replied before subtly sliding out of his grip on my back, an action that didn't go unnoticed by him. His eyes scanned mine before lowering to gaze at my lips, travel down my neck, roam at my chest and finally coming back up to meet my eyes again, something blazed in them. A sudden wave of anxiety washing over me. The atmosphere suddenly felt too hot to breathe in. "We should go home," he said in a low voiceHome, The Midnight pack, that was his home but that would be my hell. But so was Silver moon pack. I've never really had a home.I've only had Patrick, I gasped silently, "Patrick! what of Patrick?" I actually was expecting a response but he didn't give itInst
Aria’s POV I looked up at him, he's taking me back to midnight pack? Why? Why would he want to be seen with me? What would people say? Standing upright, he stretched out a hand towards me to help me up. I just stared at it. "Something wrong mate?" He asked "I am an omega, why would you want to be seen at a social event with me?" I whispered. He looked at me with both brows raised, as if I had just asked the world's most stupid question. But nothing seemed more logical to me at that moment. All my life I've been looked down on and told how less of a wolf I am, the mere sight of me repulsed the others and I didn't think being mated to an Alpha overnight was going to change that. And then he smirked. Alpha Alexander actually smirked! Making me see the need to explain myself better; "People will talk, they will gossip, they will_" "Now I'm curious to see who would dare speak ill about me or my mate." He countered, the smirk not leaving his face. But his words did nothing to e
