41. A Murder At The SchoolWith a bandana around his forehead, his face was set emotionlessly as he focused on exercising deep breathing. His black t-shirt was sweat-soaked and track pants clenched his legs tightly. She didn't want to be caught gawking at him surreptitiously and hence, she maintained a confident posture and walked inside. She didn't have to make her presence known as she stepped inside, Noah spun around. He stopped the treadmill and leaned backwards, his hands folding and eyes narrowing in pure amazement. Even then, there was a hint of a small smile on his lips. "So?" He started. "What brings my deceptive mate here in the gym room?" Her breaths seemed to have solidified in her throat. He was... Distracting her. Aria never assumed that a mate bond would work between them. She was a human, incapable of noticing his scent or feeling his emotions yet she was getting affected. Her fingertips became numb and her lips surged with a tingling sensation. Out of nowhere she

43. Worried For Aria! That was understandable. In fact, after Jake heard about the professor's death, he was certain they might come across some heavily loaded men and have a combat before they reached back to Texas. Always after such unexpected deaths, more predicaments followed. Bruises on hands and bandages around neck, shoulders and stomach were inevitable. He was ready for it and the fact that Aria was going to be investigated for a murder she was not related with caused his composure more damage. He could easily sunder some esophagus from the stomachs of a few if at all they charged on them. Besides this, he was all over the place because he thought there was some connection of Professor Springham with Derwin Blaze, the dangerous alpha that was preparing for a war with their pack. "Dad," Jake broke his father's deep trance with a snap of his fingers. "What could our boring looking professor have to do with Derwin Blaze?

45. Aria's Involved In The Murder!  "Oh hell, yes, I want to know how Aria found the dead body?" Jake looked for his father only to realize that he had gone to the murder spot with his team without him. He gestured to his friends to follow but they suggested waiting there as they didn't want to discuss the case in the scrutiny of the elders. Moreover, they said that there were a couple of things Jake needed to know before he went inside to investigate the case alongside his father and the supreme commander. "You know about the discovery," That was Zack who said in such a low voice that it was only audible to his own ears. "Now coming back to Aria and her location then you will be disappointed to know that she has been detained in the headquarters while Noah was permitted to go back home with his father." A muscle at Jake's jaw quivered. He remained silent and let Zack continue, "From what I have heard of my father's conversation with the chie

47. The Shocking RevelationJake halted before his friends. His eyes were fiercely dark and face awfully red, causing an apprehensive chill to melt his friends' spine. They looked at each other before turning at Jake as one of them rasped slowly, "What's wrong?"Jake growled. His dark eyes coming up to shoot a scary glare at them all as he said, "That mother fucker commander is manipulating my father to sacrifice Aria's life.""Doesn't your father have his own brains?" Kai shrugged unrepentantly."He's acting like a five year old douchebag who thinks he knows what's right for him." He was breathless with rage.The others blinked in agreement as Jake punched the trunk of a nearby tree, splitting it in two. It plummeted behind him with a booming sound. His friends stepped away as they stared at him in amazement while the guard and some of the cops guarding the school gate rushed inside only to find Jake turning into his werewolf and leaping off of their heads to exit the school premises

49. Don't say a word Aria. Aria shrunk in the chair. It was not very big to hold the whole of her, still she picked her legs up and curled her hands around the knees. Now she was suddenly cold. Her blood was rushing furiously like an overflowing river after a cloudburst. She was going through emotion-burst instead.Her heartbeats drummed in her ears. Her fingertips seemed to have frosted up. Panic settled in her stomach in sharp points of jagged glass. It wasn't fair ! It wasn't fair, damn it. She was detained for a murder she didn't know about taking place in the classroom. Not that she had any connection with the professor who died.The muscles in her face tightened as she heard the noise on the other side of the door. Something was happening out there. Maybe the family members of the dead professor were here to deal with her their way! Maybe it was a furious, ill-tempered officer who had the wish of solving the case within hours of discovery that there had been a murder.Aria knew
