One Year Later The theme tonight was celestial. Just like the baby whose lips were attached to my breasts, suckling greedily as though it were a contest. "Oh goddess! The guests are already gathered here! I thought she ate ten minutes ago!" Genevieve was having a fit, but I couldn't blame her. Planning a mating ceremony and my official inauguration as Luna was bound to drive someone crazy. Now she was glaring at the baby she always came to babysit early in the morning! Raine chuckled beside me where she was protecting the dress I had already worn from getting soiled by my milk. "The little monster won't stop eating! Are you sure she isn't a dragon? Oh shoot! The Royal entourage has arrived!" I exchanged glances with Raine and we both laughed inwardly, none of us daring to speak to the crazy planner. Tonight, she wasn't our sweet Ms. Genevieve. "Hey! If that little monster ruins the dress that cost a whole building, I will abduct and send her back to the moon goddess!" Rig
"I will love you forever, my mate. I will never put anything above you."A promise we made to each other beneath the full moon, drenched in the heat of each other's bodies after we made love for the first time.***I had never seen my sister this excited since the night I was mated to Nathan, the future Alpha of our pack, the Silver Moon."Aria, you are so getting this dress, imagine walking into the main pack house with the flowers on the floor making your brown eyes pop, you will be the most beautiful gifted bride ever! Oh you will so make a good Luna and put that bitchy Ella to shame!"Gifted Aria, the people in my pack refer to me in those words.Ever since it was discovered that my dreams always came to pass, I had been treated as a special wolf and sent to the most prestigious school.It also benefitted my father, the beta. Our entire family was respected and the Alpha treated my father like an equal.I was blessed, and I never took it for granted that my gift was supposed to be
Two Weeks Later"Move it, Aria! You're needed in the VVIP room!"An exiled beta's daughter, a rejected mate.A fallen wolf.There were only a few establishments that risked employing unfortunate people like me; places like casinos where I was currently doing the job that didn't require a special identity.A waitress."Okay Ms. Green." I replied our manager and grabbed the drinks, heading to the elevator where my fellow waitresses were already."Hey." I greeted them when I came in, but as usual, they ignored me and kept talking about the group of hot Alphas who had come in for the night.Somehow, news of my true identity had travelled fast in the casino and reached everyone's ears. While our manager who employed me hadn't given two shits about it, the same couldn't be said for my co-workers.They started avoiding me like plague, and whispered 'freak' when they clearly knew I could hear them.Like now."Tina, you may not want her skin to touch yours else she will rat you out to the mana
"Will...you kill me, sir?" Stuttering that statement was the best thing I could come up with at the moment.Given what I had heard about the Alpha of Shadow Walker pack, forgiveness wasn't one of his qualities.Untamed handsome features, intense gaze which threatened to knock me off the seat... Those were only parts of his many qualities. A devious smirk glinted in his eyes, and he leaned into the seat, making himself comfortable as though he weren't bothered by the situation. I had listened in on a conspiracy to murder the Alpha King, now he was going to kill me."That depends on how this discussion goes. Answer my question. Why do you understand a confidential language? Who are you?" A former member of the Silver Moon pack who had been training to be Luna since I turned eighteen.The daughter of an ex-beta...Everything I had been before was over.I was...no one."I'm Aria Smith, sir. I...work here."At the moment, I realised it was the only identity I had; my name, and the occu
The Shadow Walker pack house was state of the art! Luxurious, spacious and craftily designed, the only building I had ever seen which came close to it was the Royal Pack House. "Let me help you, Ms." One of the moving men who had come to my house in a big moving truck offered to carry the only luggage I had, a mini rolling box. "Thanks." I replied, adjusting my sweater against the night cold. Whatever they had thought I had in my tiny apartment when they came with that gigantic truck, it had been echoing in emptiness when they transported me and my bag to the Shadow Walker pack house. In my disoriented state, I had only thrown in a few clothes, underwear, books and footwear before leaving my former pack in shame and tears. It still didn't seem real that I was now a member of a new pack, but I signed a couple of documents a few hours ago and now stood in front of a magnificent building. The older lady who had introduced herself as Genevieve and offered me the contract stood
Cole's P.O.V. "I still don't get it, why didn't you kill her?" My beta's eyes were drawn together in confusion as he sat cross-legged in my office. I couldn't blame him, even I was surprised at how I had acted. Normally Ms. Smith would have been disposed of quietly after learning what she did. "What if she goes ahead to betray you? Heard she has met the Alpha King before." I adjusted the diamond watch on my wrist and a matching ring which graced my finger. "She won't." I simply replied my beta, Ace. It was that simple; I had just felt that she wouldn't rat me out upon setting my eyes on her and it had nothing to do with how much I had scared her. "Alpha, you've never taken chances or been this impulsive. You just accepted her into the pack; does that have to do with her connection to the Silver Moon?" I raised a brow, tapping my fingers on the table. Ace was my right-hand man, the beta of my pack and the Vice Chairman of the Roman Corporation. We didn't go around mentioning
Aria "I...thought you said it's a se... sex club, sir?" I was mortified, it was only a moon ball and I had been nervous for nothing! All through the car ride, I had been sweating as I sat beside Alpha Cole, and it didn't help that his scent was a hell of a distraction. All I had been able to think of were his powerful thighs crossed beside me, and big rough fingers working on the laptop. "I gave you that scenario to prepare you for the worst. Take this." He handed a ball mask over to me, which I took with shaky fingers, a shiver running through me as his palm made contact with my skin. He was magnetic and alluring in that crisp luxurious suit and sleek hair which had been pulled in a low bun. Long hair suited him in an untamed erotic way, and I pulled my eyes away when I realised I was staring. And he had caught me. My cheeks were on fire, and I sucked in a deep breath, following him up the stairs as he pulled the mask over his face. "Your task tonight is simple, listen to a
"How...long have I been out of it?" My voice was a wretched whisper; crooked and low. My throat was so dry and my body felt numb from lying down for a long time."Seven days, Ms. Smith." The nurse replied, and reached for her phone, typing something.A week of lying down after...Losing my baby...My hands rested on my stomach of their own volition, and tears started to well up in my eyes again. It was my fault for not knowing my own body properly; I had stupidly shifted many times and endangered my pup. "Don't think about anything now. Don't worry, the Alpha instructed us to put you on anaesthetics so it won't hurt." The nurse with kind eyes told me, and I nodded although the tears wouldn't stop falling. I had lost my family, my mate and now... My pup. It wasn't any fault of this innocent child who had been unlucky to be born in the womb of an ignorant, cursed wolf. Why did I have to be given that curse of prophecy which had taken everything from me?I cried harder."Ms. Smith
