All Chapters of ARIA; THE FORGOTTEN LUNA : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Alpha Aiden's POVI stood up and walked to the corner of the room where I kept my training gear. I needed to move.If I sat still any longer, I was going to break the furniture. I started doing push-ups, counting them out loud to drown out the noise in my head. My muscles were tight, and my heart was thumping hard against the floor. Every time I pushed up, I thought about Aria.A sudden sharp pain shot through my shoulder. I collapsed onto the rug, gasping for air. The old poison from the dart was still there, hiding in my blood. It felt like a hot needle poking at my bone. I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling. My vision went a bit blurry for a second, and I felt weak. I felt like I was losing my edge right when I needed it most."Not now," I grunted. "Not today."I closed my eyes and thought about the baby. I thought about the small, solid kick I had felt against my palm in the garden. That little life was part of me. It was half mountain wolf and half princess.Thinking a

Aria's POVAfter the chase, I went to meet my father at his study.He sat behind his massive oak desk, his fingers tapping on the wood. He hadn't even taken off his royal cape yet. I stood in front of him, keeping my hands hidden in the folds of my skirt so he wouldn't see them shaking.My heart was thumping against my ribs, making a rhythmic sound that felt too loud for the quiet room."Sit down, Aria," the King said. He didn't look up from the papers on his desk.I sat on the edge of the velvet chair. "The chase is over, Father. Aiden brought the scepter back. Why are we in here instead of announcing the winner?"The King finally looked up. His eyes were sharp, like he was trying to look through my skin and see what I was hiding."Esmond’s accusation is serious. He says the mountain wolf used magic to win. And then there is the matter of that paper from the mountains. I need to know the truth."He leaned forward, his face close to mine. "Did you know Aiden before he came to Absalom?

Aria's POV “Stop.” I yelled at the guards. They stopped."I trusted you," the King shouted. "I gave you a palace, a name, and a future. And you spend your nights with this mountain dog? The games are over for him. He has lost everything.""Father, please!" I cried out. I tried to move toward him, but a sharp pain in my belly made me double over.I clutched the silk sheets, my knuckles turning white. "You don't understand. We didn't choose this to hurt you. We are married, in the eyes of the Goddess, he is my husband.""The Goddess does not rule Absalom. I do!" the King roared. He pointed a finger at Aiden. "Throw him in the deepest cell. I want him in chains by the time the sun touches the horizon."I felt a sudden heat rising from my chest. It wasn't the heat of the room or the fever from the labor. It was something else. It was heavy and electric. I looked at the guards, and for a second, my vision turned completely silver. The air around me started to hum, a low sound that made th

Alpha Aiden's POVI ran up the back stairs, my claws clicking against the floor.I reached the library just as the bookshelf moved. Two men in black cloaks were trying to hack through the small door behind it. I didn't waste time talking.I lunged, my weight slamming into the first man and sending him flying into a pile of heavy history books. The second one tried to turn, but I caught his throat and tossed him aside like a piece of trash.I kicked the remaining wood of the door inward."Aiden!" Aria’s voice was a ragged sob.I shifted back to my human form, though I didn't have any clothes left on my upper body. I didn't care. I scrambled into the small, dusty room. Aria was on the cot, her face covered in sweat and her hair sticking to her forehead. Kira was standing over her, holding a small silver dagger.I pulled Aria into my arms, being careful of her large stomach. She felt hot, and her heart was beating as fast as a drum against my chest. I kissed her forehead, tasting the sal

Aria's POV"Damien?" Kira whispered. She was standing right next to me, her hand gripping my arm so hard her nails were digging into my skin. "Ivy’s son? I thought he was just a story."The wolf didn't answer with words. It let out a sound that was half-growl and half-laugh. It was Damien, alright. Ivy had kept him hidden for years, and now he was here to finish what the Shadow Council started. He lunged forward, his paws cracking the stone tiles like they were made of thin glass.Aiden didn't even hesitate. He stepped in front of me, his chest bare and his muscles bulging. He still looked confused, and I knew his memories were a mess, but his instinct to protect me was stronger than the spell in his brain."Get back, Aria!" Aiden shouted. He didn't have a weapon, but he lowered his shoulder and ran straight at the giant wolf."Aiden, no!" I screamed.They collided with a thud that I felt in the soles of my feet. Aiden was strong, but Damien was powered by something evil. The dark wol
