Aria’s POV Moments after he kissed me, he ushered me inside, no even giving me a chance to process what happened. He had kissed me hard, the length of his body pressing up against me as his hands hugged my hips. I didn’t reject the kiss, in fact quite the opposite and I wanted more. After he called me mate, he had hurried me inside. I had no idea what was going on and it is only as we reach the top of the stairs he announces that Ryan is here. They appear, surrounded by men, men that I hoped belonged to Elijah’s pack. As I look down, Ryan glances up at me, like he knew I was there. The windows were closed so I had no idea what they were saying. All I could see was the anger on Ryan’s face which seemed to be turning more and more red when he wasn’t getting what he wanted. Eventually, Ryan and his men are marched away, back in the direction that they came. As soon as they were out of sight, Elijah looked up at me with a smile. His onyx hair catching in the light of the moon. He doe

Alpha Ryan’s POV How could I have been so stupid? Why the fuck did I even listen and agree to Seren’s plan? None of this would have happened if she hadn't come to me in the first place. Anton stares at me as I finish tearing up the office. “Bring your fucking mate in!” “What has she done this time Alpha?” “Just bring her to me unless you want your head ripped off.” He rushed from the room and I hear him calling her name. Why did I listen to her? Seren had been the one to tell me of Aria’s true heritage. She was just like me, half wolf, half vampire. A hybrid. We were rare, many calling us abominations. We shouldn’t have existed. Aria would be my only way to carry an heir, to create more of our kind. Seren had found out what Aria was after her father got drunk one night. He finally came clean, admitting that Aria was adopted, taken in by their mother because she couldn’t bear to kill a child. They were lucky, Aria had looked just like their eldest child Kyle and Seren was y

Alpha Elijah’s POV Okay, I’m not going to lie, it was a bit unexpected but I just couldn’t keep my hands off of her, not for any longer. She was mine and I wanted her to know it. Aria is quiet, she watches me with a slight smile, and her green eyes are bright. Taking the dress from Simon, I hold it out to Aria, asking if she needs any help. “I think I can manage, but maybe you should stay, just in case.” Her cheeks flush from the comment. She doesn’t wait for an answer, turning around and slipping off her top. Faint red lines trail all across her back, like she hadn’t healed properly from something. I see her reflection in the mirror, she seems to be unaware and continues to undress. My head had just been between her legs, but she appeared shy about showing me the rest of her body. It wasn’t like I hadn’t seen it, that day she came to my land, she was naked. I had to keep it together, until she lets me mark her, I wasn’t going to have sex with her. It didn’t stop my cock from t

Alpha Elijah’s POV Why had Simon been so stupid, there was just no need for Aria to know, not now her father was dead. Simon had removed all the good images that Aria had of her father. Her knowledge of her father may have been a lie, but now, he had ruined her memories. “So it's true? He didn’t help you?” Her green eyes are watery. I didn’t want her to find out like this. “No.” “But you tried?” “Yes. First I sent Simon and then as the war grew closer, I asked. I thought he might have been interested. Our packs are only divided by a river.” She shakes her head muttering the word ‘no’ over and over. “He just wouldn’t!” Simon mouths ‘sorry’ at me and quickly makes an exit. “My father wouldn’t. He was a good man!” I weigh up my options and figure that I might as well just try and tell her everything. “It’s not the only thing, little wolf.” “What do you mean?” “The pack that attacked us. It was none other than Crimson Pack, led by Ryan’s father!” Her jaw drops. “After we w

Alpha Ryan’s POV“Well, where is she, where is my darling sister?” Seren spits as I walk back into my new packhouse.“Clearly, she is not here Seren!”“You didn’t force her home!”“I tried. Alpha Elijah wanted to kill me but your dear sister stopped him!”Seren raises an eyebrow at me“She stopped him?”“Yes, but I think I may have found a way for us to get in their pack tonight. It appears there is some sort of party going on. So what do you say Seren, up for a party to bring your sister home!”“She is not my sister!” she folds her arms across her chest, pushing her breasts up towards me.“There’s something else…”“What is it?”“Aria knows, she is in denial, but she knows!”“And she still didn’t agree to come back?”I shake my head,“She knows that she is a hybrid. She doesn’t know about the other thing yet.”“You will die if she doesn’t mate with you!”“You don’t need to remind me Seren. I just need to find a way to get her to hate Elijah.”Seren steps towards me, her arms unfolding
