Alpha Elijah’s POVAll I could do was watch her. Aria’s eyes danced around as she took another sip. She appeared to be completely unaware that she was slurring her words. Almost like she was drunk, but all she had had was my blood and I had made sure that there was no alcohol in my system before having my blood drawn.She mutters something about only drinking one glass even though she had more, when she leaps up from her seat. I watch as the glass rolls from her lap, bouncing across the carpet and look up just in time to see her lunging at me, her fangs on show. What the fuck was happening to her?She falls short, crashing onto my desk and sending paperwork flying. It gives me the chance to pin her down and call for Simon to help.When Simon arrives, he laughs, completely amused by the scene.“I’m not sure what you are thinking but this is certainly not my idea of fun sex.” he chuckles to himself again.“Shut up Simon and help!”Aria was wriggling underneath me, her teeth nipping at a

Aria’s POVI could see the moon as I opened my eyes, the curtains hadn’t been closed and the glow of the moonlight cast odd shadows in the room. A heavy arm was draped over my waist, his hand resting on my stomach, slipped under the tee I was wearing. I knew it belonged to Elijah. The tingles travelling over my skin, told me everything I needed to know as he lets out a few snuffly snores and his grip on me tightens.I should have been happy, but something was bugging me. I could barely remember how I got here, how I had ended up in Elijah’s bed, fully clothed. Faint images of being pinned down come to me, but I couldn’t imagine Elijah doing that to me, not without my permission.Elijah pulls me closer to him and I realise his snores had stopped when his lips press against the mark he had given me, sending more tingles through me.“About time!” he murmurs against my skin, his warm breath fanning over me, causing me to shiver. He did something to me that Ryan could never do. He made m

Ryan’s POVElle gives me that look, the one she had mastered when she didn't want to answer. As I repeat my question about the wolfsbane. Her bottom lip sticks out a tiny bit, her eyes roll before she looks away and folds her arms across her chest.“Come on Elle, somebody obviously gave it to you!”“You’re right, they did. More importantly, she did.” she mumbles, turning away from me.“Who Elle? Who are you talking about?”She finally looks me dead in the eye and mutters my mates name.“How the hell did you come into contact with her?”“It wasn’t like that. I was running away, one of Elijah’s men got a hold of me. They know that I know where you are Ryan, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t follow me. She did cause a big scene.”“What do you mean?” It didn’t sound like Aria.“She warned me to stay away from you and not because she still loves you. I could hear it in her words Ryan, she absolutely one hundred percent despises you.”My heart jolts a little on hearing those words. I don’t wa

Aria’s POVI was still coming to terms with my own lack of control. I hadn’t meant for any of this to happen. I never wanted to attack that waiter, I just couldn’t resist the pulsating vein in his neck.It had only made it worse when the Fae person started talking about me, talking like she knew me. An irrational feeling had been growing inside of me the moment I had sat down. I just knew by the way she had talked about Ryan, that she had a thing for him and for a brief moment, I had wondered if he liked her too. Was I jealous? It didn’t seem likely, not after everything he had done to me and yet at the same time, I almost wished that we would have seen him. What the hell was wrong with me?In the car, I didn’t want to speak, if anything, I was feeling guilty and uncomfortable. A mix between the need for blood and why I suddenly seemed so desperate to see Ryan. I kept my mouth shut, only asking a few questions here and there but it really pissed me off when I found out Elijah was keep

Ryan’s POVEvery moment that Elle pretended to be Aria was great, it was like Aria was finally mine. That I could have her body in the way I desired.Elle rolls off of me, lying on her back and smiling as she looks up to the ceiling. Her dark hair quickly returns to blonde, the points on her ears growing back in seconds as she becomes herself. That was the problem, I never wanted her to turn back.Sitting up, I swing my legs out of bed.“Why can’t you stay that way for a little longer? You know, until your at least out of my sight?”I feel the weight of the bed shift as she gets up and walks around to stand in front of me. Her fingers on my chin as she tilts my face up to look at her. She was still naked, she wasn’t what I would usually go for. No real curves, her ribs visible and she barely had a handful when it came to her tits. Nothing like Aria.“You know deep down it’s me. Why don’t you just fuck me, why does it always have to be her?” She turns her back on me before I even answe
