**ARIA'S POV** I groaned in my sleep and I slowly opened my eyes, I tried getting up but I felt someone holding my hand, and that was when I noticed Tristan. "What?" I muttered as I stared at him. I sat up slowly, being careful not to wake him up, I find it hard to believe he stayed by my side. I leaned forward to stare at his face, he looks so handsome, even in his sleep. I tried dressing his messy hair but when he groaned due to my touch, I stopped what I was doing. Seeing him doing this for me touches my heart, he's just so sweet and loving and every single time, Tristan amaze me. "He's so different," I muttered. The door creaked opened and Carl walked in, a smile crept up his face when he saw that Tristan was still sleeping. "Hey," I mouthed. He waved at me then he quietly walked to my side. "How are you mom?" "I'm fine dear, why are you still up? You should be asleep my now," I said and he sighed. "Yes, I wasn't feeling sleepy, so I came to check up on you two," He g

**ARIA'S POV**"Why don't you and Carl move into the pack house," Tristan said."What!!" I blurted out."Yes Aria, I think that's better, at least that way, I'll be able to keep an eye on you,""N no Tristan, there's no need for that, you don't have to worry about me like that. I really don't want to burden you like this, I can take care of myself, I'm good," I refused instantly.Tristan sighed deeply. "How many times do I have to say this to you Aria? You're not a burden to me at all, so please stop insisting or saying that you are when you're obviously not."I bit my bottom lip nervously and I bent my head down, I don't know why those words kinda make my heart flutter."Do you understand?" Tristan asked.I looked at him and I nodded positively."And again, it'll be better for you to stay in the pack house so the people can get used to you before you become the Luna," He added.A lot was really going on in my heart right now, and I'm clearly not comfortable with this at all. I just t

Writers POV Aria wakes up tired and hungry, she feels like staying in bed throughout due to the sparring that occurred yesterday. Her body ached badly and she wished for a massage. Although she had eaten enough she was still hungry and her nostrils could scent a lot of food making her stomach rumble. She wondered if there was a party going on that she wasn't aware of. She was so damn sure that it wasn't the maids handwork because this particular meal had a different scent. A scent that watered her mouth. Entering the bathroom she quickly brushes her teeth when carl comes in. "Mom, where are you?" Carl said shouting. "Give me a minute carl am in the bathroom" She replied. "What's wrong baby?" Aria asks coming out of the bathroom. "We need to go downstairs imediately" he said rushing. "Why the rush? Give me 2 minutes let me put something on" Aria replied and was amused as to how he couldn't stay patient. "Or do you want your mother to go downstairs with a robe?". "Mom pleas

ARIA’S POVI spread my hands widely for Carl to hug me, which he did excitedly. He refused to release me and I kept on hugging him tightly, until he finally released me. “I guess he felt suffocated,” He smiled and gave me a light peck on my cheek, before giggling softly, but stopped after a while. “Mummy, how come you were locked inside here?” Carl raised his brows and I shrugged, not knowing how to answer him. “I really don’t know how,” I sighed, and he furrowed his brows. “So you don’t know how you got locked in here?” Carl stared at me confusingly. “Yeah, That’s what I’m trying to say,” I sighed “What do you mean by that, Aria?” I heard Tristan ask, but I ignored him completely. “Mummy, Daddy was asking you?” Carl pouted. “I don’t know what to say to him,” I shrugged, and I noticed Carl looked up to stare at my face with a confused gaze. I looked at Tristan and noticed that he stared at me with his piercing gaze. “Anyway, thank God you’re safe now,” Tristan said when he

ARIA’S POVThe sun shone brightly on my face as I turned slightly on the bed, yawning loudly. I opened my eyes and closed it as quickly as I had opened it, because my eyes hasn’t adjusted to the light. I kept on blinking my eyes, till it got used to the light and it stayed steadily. I kept on rolling on the bed, completely wrapped in a duvet till I heard a knock on my door. I groaned loudly before trying to stand up and that was when I mistakenly hit my head on the bed. “Ouch,” I groaned in pain as I massaged my temples. “What a great way to start my morning,” I muttered already annoyed by the fact my morning started with me hurting myself. “I’m coming!” I said loud enough for the person at the door to hear. I opened the door and met Alpha Tristan standing at the door, full of smiles and energy. “Good morning,” He greeted and I nodded, still shocked that he was the one standing right in front of me. “Yeah, good morning,” I replied, still surprised. “Can I come in?” “Oh yea
