Aria's POV"A light will always attract the shadow, but like darkness, you would never know me."That was exactly what the man had said to me before fleeing. It was woven with contradictory terms that were beyond deep for my understanding. The words were straightforward, but the significance behind them threw my brain into a loop.Indeed, if I hadn't been so clumsy, I would have figured out who it was. Yet, the fact that the man ran away, not wanting to be identified by me, made me ponder.Does he know me?"It was a sprained ankle," the pack nurse said as she handed me a gel. "Give it some time to heal."Maybe this is what I'll apply to keep the impacted areas from swelling. Fortunately, it was just a sprained ankle rather than a fracture. Still, it was a case of bad luck. I stumbled at the most crucial point of all. Like destiny is trying to make a fool of me by straining my tolerance."Thanks."Surprisingly, I was still able to balance my gait pretty well. Even though my injured ank

Aria's POVDisappointment.That dominant emotion reigns in my chest after walking away from Nicholas. Much worst when he didn't chase me. Instead, he went inside the office where Natasha was.I even slow down, hoping he'll come after me, apologizing and begging me to forgive him. My expectations were but a faint hope. I have almost forgotten that the man I am mated with is Nicholas Sainthood. His pride is taller than the Eiffel tower, that's for sure."What's with the long face again?"I tilted my head and saw Matthew. This man is really a godsend. He always appeared whenever I was down, when I needed help, and when I needed his presence. If only it was him. Perhaps, things could be better."Just saw something creepy," I said.That sight was gruesomely horrific to an extent. It was more disturbing than seeing Milan or Kairo's ghostly figures. Natasha is a phantom in existence. She freaked the shit out of my life."Where?"I sighed as I stood up from my seat. "In the office, Matthew."

Aria's POV"Aria."Nicholas held my hand before I could even enter my room. I couldn't find Matthew in the lagoon earlier, so Nicholas and I returned to the Pack together. We've trailed the route down for a good amount of time, but only now did he speak."What do you need?"My gaze landed on his hand, which was clutching my wrist, but he refused to let go. He is reluctant yet determined to do what he has supposed to do."Can we talk?"I already have an idea of what we will talk about.I feigned to be uninterested and snatched my arm from his grasp. "If you wish, you may wait for me; I'm just going to shower."He failed to respond as my feet got straight inside my room, not minding whether he was okay to wait or not. Although, I'm not really giving him choices. If he wants to communicate with me or solve our conflict, he'll compromise.I opted to take a cold shower as soon as I entered the bathroom. I had the quickest bath of my entire life—one that lasted no more than 40 minutes—insid

Aria's POV"Mine."Nicholas' growled as his canines ripped effortlessly into my thin flesh as he seized what was rightfully his. I yelled in agony, struggling to withstand his bite, hands on his biceps, holding for support. Nevertheless, my wolf, Kaia, was overjoyed that her mate had finally claimed her as his. After all she has been through, fate has favored her.In contrast to her pleasure was my pain. I tried to push his chest away since the bite was becoming more excruciatingly painful, but he was too powerful. I closed my eyes, hands in a fist, bearing the pain a little longer.After this, our connection would be stronger than it was before, and that's what I am holding on to.Nicholas removed his canines from my neck and licked the blood that oozed out before planting soft kisses on it, sending ripples of pleasure through my body."Did it hurt?" he asked softly, pulling me closer to him. I nodded. "A little."The full moon ceremony has just finished, and everyone is doing a pos

Aria's POVI've been staring in the mirror for a few minutes, trying to figure out how to cover up the mark Nicholas left on my neck. The man left much too many kiss marks, and it looks terrible. To the point that it seems like I have thalassemia."Good morning, love," Nicholas appeared, kissing my temple.I give him a side look, a morose expression on my face. "Look at what you have done! I can't go out looking like this!" I complained.He glanced at my neck with a cheeky smile tinged with pride. He had no regrets. Nicholas really had the guts to laugh at my circumstance rather than apologize. Tsk!"I thought you liked it?"A malicious tone was hidden in his voice. My face heated with embarrassment and tried to look away from him. The memory of last night is like a nightmare that hunts me down. It was something I wouldn't do consciously. I'm just possessed. That's it!"You beg me to—"Nicholas' words were cut off as my blower instantly flew straight toward his direction, which he ev

Aria's POVA week after my pity party, a flood of rumors spread throughout the domain. I wouldn't have cared if Crescentius wasn't involved, but the gossip is about them. I'm unsure where or how it started, but certain pack secrets that even I didn't know about suddenly leaked. Among all, witchcraft is the worst assumption I have ever heard.Was it Rojo La Luna's doing?"I need to see them," I beg.Nicholas does not want me to return there because of the risk. Crescentius was deemed a danger by the higher-ups, and no one was permitted to enter the area. Even if I despise my family, the individuals there are an exception. Crescentians are not rooted in compassion and generosity. But they have a life of their own and deserve to outlast."Haven't you learned yet?"Nicholas's tone sounds off. "You are not welcome there, Aria."I know. He doesn't have to tell me that. Even though I didn't belong there and they threw me out, my conscience compelled me to feel sympathy for them—no matter how

Aria's POV"I told you." I welcome the relentless wave of pain that lashes in my chest now and then. Each stroke is adorned with flesh-excruciating realization. Though, I feel relieved that they're not practicing what they're being accused of. They'll be able to get through it, and no individuals will be affected. Mysha and Luke just need to prove their innocence to the higher-ups and rehabilitate their reputation, which has been damaged by these allegations.Even though I know it's hard to fix the mess between us—I'd still willingly back her up from behind. She's my sister and will forever be. "Next time, listen to me," Nicholas added. I just sighed and looked outside the window of his car. There is no guilty feeling inside of me. I'm still happy despite the fact that I only got pain from seeing Mysha.I've long realized that feeling various emotions is a normal part of life. Life isn't all about being happy. Because where there is joy, there is also sadness. Everything is in pro

Aria's POVI managed to manipulate Matthew from giving in to my whims, but unfortunately, nobody was in the field when we reached there. It was empty as bald—not even a shadow or animal running across."They must have finished early, " he noted, opening the gate.Maybe I'll come here earlier next time. No one will ever know, and everyone will be surprised. It would be a pretty exciting thing to accomplish, in my opinion. "I want to train, Matthew."Matthew glanced at me with a doubtful expression on his face, ignoring what I said, and just sat on the bench near the large tree. He didn't bother saying a reply. After realizing that I couldn't get an answer from him, I turned my attention to something else. My gaze wanders around, awed by the splendor. The sky was painted orange and pink as if the artist hadn't been too indolent to fill in the blank spaces with some color. I can't see the sun any longer, but I can see its faint light."I really wanted to train," I reiterated, nearing M
