All Chapters of ARIA; THE FORGOTTEN LUNA : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Alpha Aiden's POV“ If you press a fucking alarm, you will surely not like what I'm going to do with you.”“ This is harassment, sir.”“ No. This is frustration, sir! I want my ring back. My wife is missing. She has that ring, and I want to know who sold it here!” I snapped at him.He swallowed.“Do you have a wife?” I asked him.He nodded.“Do you love her?”He nodded again.“ I have a wife, too. I want her back, but I don't know where to start.” I put my hand in my back pocket and pulled out my wallet.I opened it and pulled out stacks of bills placing them on the counter in front of him. “Now, I just want to see the CCTV of the person who left this ring. And who bought it . Also the buyer's information on when he will come to pick it up. I meant no harm. I want to know so I can buy it from him.” I was talking calmly this time.He didn't talk, but his eyes were on the cash in front of him.“ You can buy many things with that money. Buy something for your wife or kids if you have a

Aria's POV“ Where will you find a couple of thousand to pay it back?” I let out a sigh, and my shoulders slumped. “I'll think of something.”“ We don't try take jewelry here. We have a pawnshop on the other side of the city.”“ Do you think you can ask your boss to make an exception? I don't have enough money to get to the other end of the city. Please.”She looked at me, and we stared at each other for a while before she took a deep breath. “ I'm the manager here. I can makyan exception, but are you sure you'll return for this? I also have to put an interest in the amount you will loan.”I nodded. “ I will come back. I don't want to lose that either.”“ Fine. Let me check this first and label it . Sit here.”I nodded and went to the nearby couch to wait. I had no idea how long I waited. When she came back, she handed me two thousand, two hundred dollars. She informed me that the listed amount was two thousand. Her eyes told me not to question anymore, but I want to assume thr extra

Alpha Aiden's POVI played the video I got from the jewelry shop on my TV and watched it repeatedly, trying to make sense of her actions.She received a small amount of money. I could tell by the number of bills she had received.Was she stupid enough to think the ring had no value?I also noticed she was trembling when she entered the shop. It was not a clear video, but I could by the way she hugged herself and shook her hands. Her demeanor was too different from that of confident Aria, who had signed our divorce papers.She looked lost in the video. As if she was afraid of something or someone.“ Fuck!” My hands rose to my head, and I gripped my hair tightly. I shouldn't worry about her and just focus on getting the ring back.Right. She was moving on. I must do the same.I shut off the TV and threw the remote control on the couch nearby before turning off the bedlamp.I forced myself to sleep, but sleep seemed to be impossible at the moment because of the many thoughts running th

Aria's POVI'd been staring at the clock the whole morning, and by lunchtime, I finally decided I couldn't just sit still and wait for Corrine to come home.I wanted to see Aiden, even if for a moment and from a distance.I put on a black jeans and a black hoodie leaving the apartment and walking toward the commercial area. Corrine’s home was just fee blocks away, so I didn't need to take a bus or a cab to get there.It should be an easy walk, but I had to keep my guard up all the time. I didn't want him or any of Alpha's Kane men to see me if they were looking for me.I honestly have no idea if Aiden knew I was sold to Alpha Kane. If I based it on what Corrine told me last night that Aiden was looking for me, it seemed he didn't know. But then a part of me thought that maybe he was just faking his statement so he could buy the ring back.I still remembered the way he treated me after he woke up and how he dismissed my feelings by letting Emmaline crawl all over him while I was still

Alpha Aiden's POV “ Do you want to see Aria, Alpha Aiden?” Corrine's question made me stop walking forward. “ Yes,” I answered a little too fast, and I could see Ryker suppressing a chuckle to come out of his throat. I scowled at him, then turned around to face the woman at the counter. “ Do you know where she is?” “ I took her home with me because she didn't have a place to stay. Give me thirty minutes, and I'll just leave instructions to Philip, then we can go home. But, Alpha, only if you'll promise not to force her to come home with you if she doesn't want to.” I raised my palms up and nodded my head. “ You've my word. My Delta will stay outside the house, so you won't feel like we're overpowering you and Aria. I just want to speak with her.” She smiled, and we agreed to go with it. Thirty minutes wasn't that long, but it felt like it was. I was eager to see her again. Ryker and I went outside the shop to wait for Corrine. My Delta pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and a
