Chapter eleven

ARIA’S POV;I shivered like a wet puppy in his arms as he took off my robe. He lifted me to my feet and I bowed my head, unable to deal with the fact that he had seen me naked in a few minutes, more times than I had seen myself in all my life.“Don’t yell. I’m just going to pop this back into the socket,” he held my hand and pushed it back. I completely disregarded his instructions and screamed at the top of my voice. The pressure was intense, but it calmed the pain.Draven reached the wardrobe beneath the brush sink and pulled out a bandage he used to hold the joint in place. His touches were tender, almost healing. For a minute, I could see him as something other than the contract Alpha, or the one who ruined my life, bringing me here as a breeder. He looked heavenly, wrapping my arms.“I’ll get your breakfast,” he said, walking out of the room after getting me settled in bed.“Thank you,” I whispered as the door shut behind him. ‘Maybe he’s not a monster after all.’ My lips curved

Chapter Twelve

DRAVEN’S POV;“Draven!” Ragner yelled, running after me through the hallway. I did not stop—I could not. “Draven!” Ragner caught up with me, pulling me into a room that hadn’t been used in forever. “What is wrong with you?” he questioned, pressing against the door.“She…she…” I struggled for breath.“You’re having a panic attack,” Ragner said, “take a deep breath.” He said, supporting me with his hands on my back. “That’s right. Deep breaths,” he said, as I slowly calmed my breathing.“Ella called her mummy,” I said, feeling weak in my knees and every other joint in my body.“Okay?” Ragner did not seem to get it. “You already knew Ella was comfortable around her and kids say stuff. It’s not a big deal. Certainly not this deep.” He said,I broke down, feeling quite ashamed of myself. “I cuddled her all night, Ragner,” I felt a wave of shame wash over me as I admitted. Ragner’s expression quickly shifted from confused to shocked, but I could see him trying so hard to hide it. “It’s okay,

Chapter thirteen

ARIA'S POV:“What curse?” Without a word, Draven walked out and slammed the door behind him.The pace of my heartbeat doubled. Something was terribly wrong and I was filled with fear.Hours went by and the only person I had seen was the maid who was tasked to bring me a meal and feed me too.“Ma, you have to eat something,” Nicolle walked in with the maid. I rolled my eyes. “Yes, she reported you to me, because you don't want to listen.”“And you are the enforcer of the law? I listen to you now?” I stubbornly pushed back.“No, but you will eat because the Alpha is hanging my job on whether or not you're taken care of and I can't afford to lose my job. My family can't afford that either.”My resolve weakened. Nicolle was the one person I had come to care about and she was right. Draven knew exactly what he was doing.I gestured for the maid to leave. Nicolle and I were left alone in the infirmary. “How's Ella? Did she get checked?” I probed.“Ella is fine,” Nicolle replied, “but she di

Chapter Fourteen

ARIA'S POV:All night, I laid in the infirmary pondering on Ragner's question. Sometimes, I paused to ask myself why I was so invested in Ella–a girl I had just met, but then the answer was the same all the time and quite obvious.I was that girl who had to suffer consequences for my father's actions. I had to fight battles I didn't create and ending up said a lot about how my fight was going, but at least at the early stage of my life, I had it all. Ella was too young to be fighting for her father's mistake. It was even more unfair that it was costing her life. She deserved a full life and every time I thought about it, tears trickled down my eyes.“Good morning, Lu…” I lifted my hand and stopped the physician before he got the chance to finish.“I'm feeling better this morning, you have to discharge me,” I said authoritatively.“I'd like to take your word for it, Lu…”“Don't call me that,” I interrupted again. Clearly, he didn't pick the meaning behind my interruption the first tim

Chapter Fifteen

DRAVEN'S POV:Her words flew straight to my chest like flint knives. In the last twenty-four hours, she had taken me through different emotions.I felt a strong admiration, a pull I could not control, seeing her fight for Ella's life. She restored my hope. In my eyes, she was a hero.Compassion followed that admiration, watching her bleed and being wrapped in bandages to put her limbs together. A sacrifice she made for my child.All through the night, confusion was my companion. ‘Did Ella have a fighting chance? Was there something special about Aria that made her able to revive Ella?’Fear was my best friend. I watched over Ella the entire night, dreading that her heart would stop beating and her breath would cease. “Good morning, daddy,” when her eyes opened and her tiny voice hit my eardrums, I found myself a little in love with Aria, but now…Now, I was in pain. She hated me so much, her journey with me had just begun, but she couldn't wait for it to end. She was willing to have a

Chapter Sixteen

ARIA'S POV:I heard it–all of it. I laid quietly in bed, with Ella in my arms. He had no idea I wasn't asleep. His words sunk deep into my heart and echoed over and over in my mind.“When she was struggling, I tried to save her. I tried to heal her, but it only ended up speeding up her death. I can't watch that happen again, not to Ella or her.” He spoke about Luna, his first mate.After the doors shut and I was sure they were far gone, I opened my eyes. The more I got to know things about Draven, the less terrible he looked before me.‘Anyone would end up a monster if they were in his shoes.’ I thought, gently stroking Ella's hair. I spent all afternoon, thinking about the things he said, until I eventually fell asleep.“Mummy,” her small hand on my face made me open my eyes.“Baby,” I swiftly responded. I opened my eyes to her soft smile. Ella was a ray of sunshine. I adjusted, still making sure she was wrapped in NY arms.“Look,” she pointed to the table. The first thing I noticed

Chapter Seventeen

DRAVEN'S POV:My feet glued to the spot when I saw Logan's hand rubbing hers from the other side of the counter. I only managed to pull back and hide my body, bending to peep and watch the drama unfold.Although Aria pulled away, the few seconds they had contact felt like someone had their hands around my neck and was continuously squeezing life out of me. It killed me more not being able to hear the conversation between them.Aria left him and ascended the stairs, meeting me halfway. She didn't stop, but her pace drastically reduced when she got close to me and it was a staring contest for the few seconds we were beside each other.Everytime I looked into her eyes, I felt a desire that burned deep down. I felt my wolf struggling to grab her. It was a struggle between my internal and my external–my wolf wanting something my body couldn't give.“Hey there,” Logan expressed, finally able to see me descend the last set of stairs.“Do you want to tell me the actual reason you're here this

Chapter Eighteen

DRAVEN’S POV:I picked Ella up and paced up to join them. I couldn’t bear to see her hand in Logan’s. It ached my heart to see that. I forced myself in between them.“So, how was your trip?” I asked Logan. He smirked. He could see through my actions, but I didn’t care at all. Aria looked a bit confused.“It was great. How are you preparing for the wedding tomorrow?” he responded,“You know what? I still have a lot to do. How about you help me finish preparing?” I pushed him to a different corner and then handed Ella to Aria. With a signal, I sent Ragner with them and waited until they were far enough not to hear us.“What do you think you are doing?” I attacked Logan.“Uh...Nothing,” he sounded so clueless.“I see all your games and the moves you are making on Aria,” I came out clean. I felt embarrassed to admit it, but at least with Logan, I could be straightforward.“You said you had a one year contract with her, right?” he probed, “I know it only just started, but I would love to g

Chapter Nineteen

ARIA'S POV:“Are you excited?” Nicolle talking to me like it was the best day of my life made me sick in the stomach. I forced myself to see her innocence, since no one else knew that everything that was supposed to happen today was for show.“I would have been excited, if you were not waking me up at 7am to prepare for an event there until 5pm,” I grumbled.“We need all the hours we can get if you're going to be ready by 5pm,” Nicolle sounded pretty serious.“Why? Because I'm undergoing a full body surgery?” My questions were from nothing but a place of spite.“We'd begin the day at the designer's, trying to get your perfect body fitting for the base and we'd need to be there to pick the details.” Nicolle rolled out a long paper that made my heart skip. She didn't pick on sarcasm, she felt the need to explain my day.“From there, we'd head straight to the hairstylist to treat your hair and have it ready for the occasion and that is only ninety percent ready.” She proceeded, rolling t

Chapter Twenty

ARIA'S POV:“I was told you wanted a cape dress,” the man at the design store wasn't as nice. He already knew we were the only ones we were expecting, so he didn't spare us a glance when we walked in.“Actually…there'll be no need for that anymore,” my response forced his head to turn around. I was supposed to be glad I got him to look away from the rack of white fabrics he had his gaze buried in, but he shot a death stare at me, fear gripped me.“Well, that's a last minute save,” he rolled his eyes. His attitude was quite saucy, especially for a man that looked well into his thirties. “Now that you have some sense of style…I hope…” he lowered his voice with the latter part. “Maybe we can talk designs,”I turned to Nicolle, questioning with my gaze if she couldn't see the way he was acting, or hear his choice of words. ‘I’m sorry,’ she mouthed.The man moved over to another side of his really big fashion house. “Are you coming?” He yelled, like we were supposed to know what to do.“
