ARIADonna's words continued to play in my head after she left. She had made it clear that she wasn't joking with me, and I had a feeling she wouldn't hesitate to hurt me if I crossed her.I didn't know why, but I felt like I needed to be more afraid of Donna than I was of the others. Perhaps it was the way she carried herself, like nobody could tell her what to do. Whatever it was, I had a feeling that even if the other members of Alaric's pack listened to him, Donna wouldn't always do the same. The thought made me shudder.I let out a tired sigh and rubbed my forehead.All I wanted was to return to my normal life, but every time I thought I was beginning to understand my situation, something else happened to remind me that I knew very little about the people around me.Frustrated, I went into the bathroom. I turned on the tap and bent over the sink, splashing cold water onto my face. It helped a little, and I remained there for a moment before straightening up and reaching for a tow

Few more seconds that felt like hours passed before he finally released Donna with a hard shove.She stumbled and fell to the floor with a grunt, coughing violently as she dragged air into her lungs. One hand immediately went to her throat while the other pressed against the floor to support her. The veins on her forehead still stood out as she glared up at him. Alaric barely spared her a glance.Instead, he turned toward the people gathered in the room."Tell me something," he said coldly. "Didn't I make my intentions regarding Aria clear the last time?""Yes!" several voices answered at once."Yes, Alpha. You made yourself very clear." I stared at them, my confusion growing.What intentions was he talking about? What exactly had he told them the last time?Alaric turned back to Donna, who was still on the floor, struggling to catch her breath. He crouched in front of her."You have until tomorrow night to get out of this property." he said, his voice frighteningly calm. "If you're

ALARICI stared down at Aria's sleeping form, studying her peaceful face. She looked like an angel when she slept. It was almost amusing, considering how much trouble she caused whenever she was awake. Even now, there was a faint crease between her brows, as if some part of her was still fighting whatever had happened earlier.I reached down and brushed my thumb across her lower lip. She didn't stir. Good. I had made sure the sedative was properly measured, and she would remain asleep for approximately three hours. That was more than enough time for us to reach our destination by private jet. Getting her onto the aircraft while she was awake would have been unnecessarily complicated.Aria would have argued, demanded answers, and probably tried to find a way out of the situation. She would have fought teeth and nails. She would have made the entire process more difficult than it needed to be, and I wasn't in the mood to deal with her tantrums.I had work to finish during the flight, an

ARIA "I don't need your rules," I muttered.His eyes narrowed. "Don't interrupt me."I opened my mouth to protest, but the words died before I could utter them..There was something different about him but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Alaric had always been intimidating, but the man sitting across from me seemed even worse. I decided to keep quiet, at least for the moment.“The first rule is simple. You belong to me alone."My fingers tightened around the edge of the table."I don't…"His gaze cut straight through me. "Do you want me to repeat what I just told you about interrupting me?"I pressed my lips together, swallowing the protest that had risen to my tongue. Alaric continued like nothing had happened."Second, your previous life is over. Whatever you had before coming here is in the past. You can forget about going back to it because that life is gone. This is your life now."I stared at him in disbelief. He spoke like he could simply erase everything I had ever known

ARIA "But I didn't." Alaric shrugged as if the matter were of no importance. "I asked my female staff to take care of it. They cleaned you up and changed you before I brought you here. I knew you wouldn't agree to come willingly, so I made the necessary arrangements." I was quiet for a moment. He had arranged for other people to change my clothes while I was unconscious, and he was telling me about it as casually as if he were explaining why he had ordered takeout instead of cooking."How could you do that?" I demanded. "You had no right!"He watched me, his expression unreadable."I did what was necessary."I stared at him, furious at his complete lack of remorse. One glance at my face must have told him I was ready to continue arguing, because he let out a weary sigh and settled farther into the bed."I don't want your tantrums tonight, Aria. Get into bed."I wanted to throw something at him. Anything within reach would have done. Instead, I marched toward the bed, pulled back the
