All Chapters of Five Alphas, One Destiny: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ARIAThe wind was suddenly so brutal on my skin and I ignored the urge to slide my unruly hair behind my ears. Rian was waiting for me to speak and I couldn't get myself to say a sentence."Aria, I meant what I said earlier. You can tell me what you want so you can stay back and help my siblings," Rian muttered calmly.I took a deep breath. "I need you to protect my mother.""Your mother is dead." He said coldly.My heart pounded in my chest and my stomach tightened in response. He must mean my biological mother and not my adopted mom. There was no way that she could be gone."Don't tell such expensive jokes. I'm referring to my adopted mother. I couldn't even tell her goodbye," I felt the weakness in my chest as my throat tightened. "She gave me the chance to live this life again. My family barely wanted me, but she was the one who trained me. She cleaned me up and gave me a place to stay."Rian huffed. "She doesn't matter to me. You have to understand that she is nobody to any of us

ARIAEveryone grew quiet almost immediately and my breathing turned erratic."Why are you talking to me this way?" Peach queried.Darius moved over to me and I just couldn't look away from him. He placed his hands on my shoulders. "You should be able to know you can't just say such things about my mate. Aria is here because we wanted her here, and that is not going to change.""Even when you don't know anything about her? Do you realize she could be a danger to us all. This shouldn't be about you alone but the rest of the pack members. I don't think it's so hard to understand this!""Lower your voice when talking to me, Peach," Darius snapped coldly.My eyes widened in shock and he pressed my hand, as though he wanted to give me some hope, and I honestly didn't know how I felt about that.Darius turned away from me, facing his family as they looked at him."Darius is right," Evren said easily.Darius grunted. "Of course I'm right," He muttered with arrogance dripping his every word."

ARIAThe chandelier broke in pieces and the chair slammed to the ground while the food swayed in the air before settling down, staining everything. I swallowed hard. This couldn't be happening...Everyone stared at me like I was an anomaly. Peach held her hand tight, muttering the moon goddess name consistently."Aria..."Rian's voice broke through my consciousness but I didn't need it now. I didn't need his pity. I turned around, almost tripping over the chair and ran. I didn't stop till I got to my room, slamming the door shut and moving towards the closet. Tears racked through my body. Was I really as dangerous as everyone was claiming?All through my 18 years of age, I'd never thought that I had powers. I felt that I was normal. I pulled the door open and climbed into the closet, bringing my knees to my chin as I cried. I wasn't normal. I had powers that made Alphas quiet in fear. Oh, goddess!***"Miss, please where are you?" A calm voice called out.Who was that?A yawn es

Aria. Life was good, I thought as I walked into my room, feeling on top of the world. I couldn't believe Lucien had just invited me to a lunch date with him in the garden. It might seem far-fetched from the man who seemed the coldest, but I have to admit that I feel safe with him. He was the only one with the ability to make my stomach flutter with butterflies. With the others, it was just lust. The lack of ability to stay away from them. But Lucien?I wanted to be around him. I wanted him inside me always. I wanted to ride him until he was moaning my name. Perhaps the chance to do that would be this afternoon. After our lunch date. Giddy with excitement, I grabbed a given from my chest and placed it on my body, swaying around with it. It was still the early hours of the morning and I knew I couldn't just lock up myself in the room, except I was ready to die from excitement. I dropped the gown and made my way straight to the bank of the river. I whistled as I strolled the small

Author’s POV. The scream tore itself from Aria's throat, raw and ragged, a sound that seemed to claw its way out from the depths of her chest, shaking the air around her. Her body convulsed with it, shoulders trembling, hands clenching whatever was nearby.The sound cut through the silence, rattling her ribs. She gasped, each breath ragged and uneven, as if her lungs were protesting. Her face twisted. Her midnight blue eyes were wide and glistened like the moonlight itself. Her lips drawn back in a mask of pain. “Aria!” Lucien screamed, shaking her thoroughly. “Aaahhhh!” Her scream was the response he got. Even as the sound echoed, fading slightly, it left a tremor in the room, a residue of torment that seemed to linger like smoke. “Shit!” He cried as he watched her perfectly black hair now streaked with silver strands at the side of her head. He grabbed his trousers and quickly dressed up. Aria sat up, staring blankly into space. A rapid knock came on the door before it flung
