ARIA'S POV.The stream was cold and unforgiving, as I went deep into it.I hit my hand on a rock, and the pain almost made me scream out in the water. Underneath the water, I could see the sun peeking out from the clouds, slowly. I tried to swim upwards, but it was hard, with the stream carting me away, flushing me like I was a piece of crumpled up paper. I hit a few more rocks, painfully, before I was able to rise out of the water.My breath came in gasps, as I tried to take it all in. I felt like a thief, trying to steal all the breath in the world.“Ah! Somebody help!” I screamed, reflexively, even though I knew there was no one out there, with a single good intention towards me.Looking back, I spotted the monstrous creatures already far from me. They watched me, gnashing their teeth, and scratching the ground. It was good that they couldn't jump into the water because I knew they would have come after me if they could swim.However, as I continued to gasp and take in deep brea

ARIA’S POVIt was so unexpecting and shocking to see a book about moon wolves, and even apart from seeing a book like that, it was more shocking to find it in Aiden’s secret library. But this was my luck shining on me. All along, I didn’t know that what I was searching for was under my nose. I guess the moon goddess led me to this library so I could stop stressing myself over an attempt that wouldn’t give me positive results.I picked up the book from the table and then found a chair to sit on comfortably, and placed it on my lap, then flipped the pages open. It felt like I was about to go on an exciting ride, and I hoped that whatever I find there was going to be really useful for me, and wouldn’t make me feel so sad.Going through the book was like going to an amusement park as every single read was interesting and fun. It made me more curious and I couldn’t just stop reading. It was a real page turner, but one thing was certain. I couldn’t read it completely, and obviously, it wou

ARIA’S POVThat evening, I laid on my bed with a smile on my face. My heart beamed with joy and it felt lighter than usual. It was more like I had made up with Aiden, and things were going to begin to be smooth with us.I began to imagine the fun we could probably have together, and how my revenge against Ryan was going to work out with him. The feeling of having someone ready to stick by your side, and help you achieve your aim was a really good one which I never wanted to end.Although, the pain of the mate draw was still there, but then, we had cleared a particular obstacle between us, and I could try to be patient for a gradual closeness between us before a conversation regarding having sex, comes up.The joy of being back with him had overshadowed my curiosity about why he didn’t want to have sex with me, and that was fine. After all, we now talk, and that’s what matters most presently.I stared up at the ceiling with a smile on my face and then let out a relieved sigh.“Mom. Dad

ALPHA AIDEN’S POVA smile came on my face as I ended my sentence with a full stop. I knew very well that Alpha Dylan’s curiosity was going to be at high peak the moment he read this letter.“Alright, I need you to send this letter to him, first thing in the morning.” I instructed him.“Noted.” Jamison responded, and then we both rose to our feet.I walked back to my room, and then pulled off my clothes. After such a long day, a nice cold bath was what was needed.As I got into the bathroom, I turned on the shower, and stood under it, allowing the water to pass through different parts of my body, making my bones feel relieved.My mood was much better than the past weeks when I kept my distance from Aria, and nothing felt better than my current mood. With this mood, and Aria by my side, I feel I can conquer the world, and that we can achieve our aim.The only fear I have is I hope that as we get closer, and focus on achieving our goals, she would find it hard to resist the mate draw. I

ARIA’S POV.The sound of the carriage hitting the rocks, and making me jerk up a little, at intervals, made me more nervous, and anxious. Cold sweat filled my forehead, despite the evening breeze which could calm anyone down.I glanced towards Aiden, and he looked so calm and composed that it got me feeling a bit intimidated. If I let him down, would he still speak with me, the way he has been? Would he change back to the cold part of him which he showed me all this while?I gulped down my saliva with difficulty as I looked away from him, and looked towards the far distance which marked the beginning of Alpha King Dylan’s kingdom. Well, all I needed was to fake it and probably that Alpha Dylan wouldn’t expect more. Soon, we got so close to the palace, and from where we were, I could tell they were really having fun. The palace was booming, and looking so lively. While that could be what would make any one excited, it made me even more nervous because if I couldn’t prove anything, an
