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

"You better stick to the plan, Nicholas!" Natasha warned.Love enters his lofty foundation, which he believed couldn't. Nicholas convinced himself a million times that it was only the bond that drew his attention to the woman, but deep down, he knew he was wrong, and it was much worse when his wolf confirmed it. Yet, as the leader, he would not allow people to perceive his flaws. He had to be steady and act as though Aria were nothing more than an instrument for their vengeance."I know what I'm doing, Natasha."Natasha partially holds him at her fingertips, using their plan as blackmail for her scheme to work. She is also the reason Aria frequently becomes irritated, turns a cold shoulder, or flirts with Matthew in response. He puffed a cloud of smoke as he looked through the glass pane. A familiar figure snatched his attention, following through every movement she did, not until a man came. A wave of anger filled him when he saw how happy the woman looked with Matthew. "What are

Aria's POV"See," Natasha smirked. "He doesn't love you."Words cling to the roof of my mouth, unable to justify the love Nicholas and I had. I am once again deluded by idealism, wishing that what we had was genuine. But hearing him say he doesn't love me made me reconsider all we'd done. What am I to him if he doesn't love me? A hoe he can use when he gets horny? A mate that he can manipulate?"What makes you different?" I replied, annoyed. "Don't act superior since you're not loved either. Fuck buddy, sure. Cheap!"Natasha was about to grab my hair in rage when I descended, barely hearing her frustrated ranting. After exiting the pack house, I let out a long sigh as everything began to sink in while Nicholas' response to Matthew's question replayed in my head. He doesn't love—plain and simple.Fuck you, Nicholas.My heart was heavy, yet no tears flowed from my eyes, maybe due to the rage and fury I was feeling within. I expected more from him, but he delivered less. And being deceiv

Aria's POV"What kind of training is this?" I complained.The happy hormones I had earlier when he said he would train me died down when he brought me to a construction site. I don't intend to be a laborer. But the shameless Nicholas made me lift concrete blocks and helped the omegas construct the incomplete building. I didn't fucking sign for this."The training is already a breeze for you. I don't need to teach you anything but this," he said.My forehead, nose, and face were all covered in sweat. Nicholas even had me wear a head protection that was too loose for me, covering my eyes each time, which was irritating. And despite wearing gloves, I could still feel the block's roughness in my palm because the ghoul Nicholas forced me to carry the rough one even though there was a smooth variant.I wanted to cry."Aria, this isn't too hard."I forcibly carried two blocks at a time while rolling my eyes at him. I wonder if this is his retribution for my lack of attention to him last nigh
