All Chapters of MOONLIGHT SECRETS : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

(14 YEARS LATER)“Morning Aria”. I glanced up at the speakers and placed the book I was reading on the table beside me.“Hello Dr. Khaled, how are you this fine morning?” I asked as I spun in my chair so I could look through the large glass window. Dr. Khaled was an old man with white hair that seemed silver when he stood under light. In his hands he had the usual: a folder, a pen and a small metal tin with my tablets in. He opened a small slot in the metal door next to the glass window and slid the tin into my room. I watched as it skidded across the smooth floor and landed next to my feet.“I will be much happier when I see you take those tablets, Ari”. I picked up the tin and counted the number of multicolored tablets. Five, just like usual. I placed them on the table and grabbed a glass of water from the filtered jug and drank.“You know something Aria; I just don’t understand why they can’t just get you a mobile phone. I mean it’s just the most logical thing in the world isn’t it

Trespassing is a big deal in the werewolf world. It is deemed a threat and a lack of respect to the pack whose territory you cross and, in most cases, it means death.I clutch Gemma’s hand tightly. “Message my dad, “I whisper, but she shakes her head.“I can’t. I tried but I just can’t get through. It’s like there is a block that’s been out. I don’t know what to do”I spin around on my feet ignoring the fact that I am definitely burning up now. I am sweating and I resist the urge to be sick as I glance around, taking in the area around us. It's getting darker and colder now so I know we can’t stay longer.“Ok, Gemma let’s just move. “I point in a direction. “That route seems familiar, let’s go through there”.She glances at me then to the route before taking my hand in hers. “Aria, you’re burning,” she whispers, and I can feel her worry. “Don’t worry,” I say, “let’s just try and get home.We both head in the direction I suggested but as we continue, I have an overwhelming feeling that

Perhaps I had overestimated how much I had been ‘fixed’.My chest was getting tighter with every step and my head was starting to spin as I continued into the forest. In a rush I had completely forgotten the tiny little fact that humans can't see in the dark, and being a human, it meant I couldn't see where I was heading.I leant against a tree, gasping for air. Leaning forward I struggled to breathe but I clutched tightly on the compass, trying to figure out which was North. I could hear the whooshing of water nearby and guessed that somewhere close by there was a lake. Deciding I had spent enough time resting, I started running again. It had been about half an hour since I started this journey and I could already imagine that the guards had finished their training. If they had caught my scent or if someone had realised I was not in my room any longer, then it would game over for me.Trying to push aside the thoughts of how Alpha Stone could punish me I continued to head forward w

“Aria”“Aria”“ARIA!!!”I jumped out of my bed in shock as someone's hands tightened around my shoulders, their fingers digging in.“What the hell!!” I yelled in shock, my chest rising and falling rapidly as I painted like I had run a marathon.“That's exactly what I should be saying to you,” Kate yelled back, her eyes wide as she watched me struggle to catch a breath.“I've been trying to wake you up for the last fifteen minutes,” she explained while I ran my hand through my hair, damped with sweat.I caught her eyes as I took a seat back on my bed. My cheeks reddened with embarrassment as my thoughts flickered back to my dream. I can't believe I had a dream about the Alpha, especially one like that. How could I have had such a dream about the man who was keeping me hostage?“-clearly you were having some kind of sexy dream”My eyes shot up to meet Kate. “No, what-no, it wasn't a sexy dream!” I exclaimed back. My response only makes Kate burst out laughing. “Oh shit!” She screams.

“Uh- he marked me,” I whispered quietly. Turning my body away from Aiden.Suddenly a furious roar erupted on the other side; my father was definitely not happy.“He WHAT?!”Before I knew it, Aiden grabbed the phone from my hand and slammed it down, cutting the call.I looked up at him in shock, my hand still in the air if I was holding the phone.“I didn't finish,” I said, with wide eyes“Yeah well that's enough for today.”We stood there like that for a few minutes, just standing staring at each other, not saying or doing anything. I was in the middle of doing something when Aiden suddenly asked, “What have you got planned for today?”“Uh-” I wasn't quite sure what to say. For the past four weeks I had stuck to my routine of helping Cassie sometimes talking to Kate then mostly bored out of my mind and wasting away in my room.“I don't really have anythi-” “Good” he interrupted.Good?We both stared at each other and stood around awkwardly. I was so confused right now; why did he
