NEON's perspectiveI grunted at the pain that explodes in my chest, and banged my fist on the wall in the hallway leaving a large dent in it. Aria should reject me! How dare she?!I couldn’t think of the pain I would feel if I had accepted her rejection. I would be broken, completely.“Diana!”She opened the door for me with a bright and innocent smile on her face, like she hadn't done horrible things already.“What did you say to Aria?” I asked, stepping into her room, Diana moved away from me.“What do you mean Neon?” Her voice wavered.“How dare you tell her to reject me?!” I yelled unable to quell my anger.“Neon, I—“ She sputtered and swallowed nervously, the smile had faded off her face.“I did it because of you. I told her because it was the right thing to do, she doesn’t belong here, can’t you see that?”“What have you been telling her?”“What she needs to know, she needs to know about our world before she can be the Luna of the pack, I only did as you asked.”My fist curled i

SILAS' perspectiveWhy did I lie to her?I should have told her the truth, it wasn’t Neon who sent me to her to check up on her, I came because I wanted to, and when I heard her cry, I felt awful about it.I know that I shouldn’t look at my Alpha’s mate but I couldn’t help it.Aria is innocent, sweet, and charming, so small and fragile. It makes me want to protect her from any harm.Neon came back to Aria when he left the prison yard, I thought he wouldn’t. He said he wanted to give her some time, but he didn’t do that.I was angry with him, even when I saw those marks on Aria’s arm. I was fuming inside but I couldn’t do anything.I didn’t want to see her getting hurt that’s why I asked Neon to either accept her or let her go back to the human city.“...you can leave Silas and get things done.” Neon used his Alpha tone on me. Each time he did that, I had no choice but to do as he ordered.Grumpily, I left him and Aria alone.I went about to the prison because that’s where he wanted me

ARIA's perspectiveSharp tingles spread through my lips, traveling through my whole body as if it was on fire. The tingles didn’t stop as his lips were against mine.It was slow, and passionate, and wasn’t forcing it as if he was asking for my permission and when I kissed him back, he devoured my mouth his kiss turning hot and taking my whole mouth in his. My breast rubbed against his hard chest, and it made me heat up even more.My breath was coming in pants and I could hear my heart pounding in my head. He tore his lips away from mine while staring intently into my eyes. “You don’t know how hard that was to stop.” He muttered under his breath loud enough so I could hear.His fingers caressed my cheeks and kept my both hands above my head.“Is this why you wanted us to share the same bedroom?” I asked.His lips quirked amusingly. And it made my stomach tighten in response.His eyes drifted from my face down to my breast, “Maybe.” He uttered.His voice is deep and husky.“I will give

Neon's perspectiveI left Aria in the hospital room when she was sleeping, and met with the pack doctor at his office. He didn’t want to speak to me because Aria was there.He didn’t want her to hear our conversations.“Here is the result of the scan, she fractured a rib, but it would heal in time. She’s not a werewolf so it would make more time than usual, make sure she takes her medication.” The pack doctor said as he sat on his desk. I stared at the results for a moment and then squeezed them into my pocket.“She’s not in any critical condition is she?” I asked quietly.“No, Alpha.”“Is that all?” I asked, creasing my brows at him.“Yes. And I received a message from your Beta, he said he’s been trying to reach you and he couldn’t. He has something to say to you and it’s urgent.” He explained taking his phone from the table and showing me the text he received from Silas.“Let me know when Aria wakes up.” I squinted my eyes at him. I would meet up with Silas and know what was wrong.

Neon's perspective“Alpha, we heard that you have canceled the ceremony.” Chief Elder, Montana, a round short man said. A few of them sat across the chairs in the office.“We would deliver your message to the others in the pack when you give us the reason why you chose to cancel the ceremony.” He cleared his throat and folded his arms defensively across his chest.I sighed and sat up, I should have known this was the reason they wanted a meeting with me.“Everyone has been waiting for the mating ceremony, and Diana would officially become our Luna since you haven’t found your mate. This was how we planned it.” He added to his words, and the others nodded in agreement with what he said.“Why did you cancel the ceremony Alpha?” He asked.“What if I found my mate and she found out I have already chosen a Luna.”“Diana is a perfect Luna for our pack, I don’t think anyone could come close to her and she’s been with us for a long time. Alpha, it’s been more than a decade, and you never fou
