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

Aria's POVI couldn't help but laugh as Nicholas's face could no longer be drawn because of its excessive frown. He wasn't moving while the manicurist painted his fingernails like an obedient puppy.Earlier, he was cursing and ranting. Maybe he got tired—a reason for his mouth to shut, though I could feel his annoyance. Nicholas must have known what I felt earlier. In point of fact, the nail color I requested from the nail technician to be put on him can be easily washed off with water. I have no intention of spoiling his reputation. I just want to annoy him. But he had no idea it was erasable."You're happy now?" Nicholas sarcastically asked.I bit my lower lips, trying to stop myself from bursting into a laugh. Nicholas looks cute with his pink nails despite his masculine figure. He is like a mash-up of Ken and Barbie. It was hilariously funny."I didn't expect that pink nails look good on you," I teased."Shut up, Aria."I also heard some of the staff laughing along, which earned

Aria's POVEach pack was present in the House of Justice during Crescentius' trial. I never anticipated arriving at this hellhole that no pack has dreamed of. Those who commit crimes are dealt with in the house of justice. Fortunately, I came here as a spectator rather than a guilty party."I haven't seen them yet; weren't they meant to arrive early?" I asked Nicholas.Only a few empty seats were available in the spacious area, which was about to be filled, but Mysha and Luke were not yet visible. The central spot is still vacant, and no sign of them in the vicinity. I would rather not think adversely. In light of the fact that not going to this preliminary would mean they're blameworthy."Let's wait for the elders, who are also not on their designated thrones." He responded. "Maybe they're just around the corner."Nicholas was right; a few minutes after the elders came, Mysha and Luke arrived, as did a specific man who had a chain around his wrist and was standing in front of the eld

Aria's POVThe second trial will take place on the 13th of next month. Unfortunately, my hailing ceremony is at the same time, so even if I wanted to support Mysha, I wouldn't be able to because I would also be busy."It's a close trial, Aria." Nicholas reminded me, "even if we have a schedule that works, we still couldn't get in and witness."I know. Nonetheless, support extends beyond simply attending the hearing. There are a lot of options. It just needs effort. Though, I know that regardless of what I do, Mysha may still be enraged.Rather than being straightforward with me, Mysha is making me go through this labyrinth of whatnot that main she knows about. I'm not even a seer or a magician. She can't expect me to understand her thoughts and resolve her enmity. That's not how it works."Oh, Mysha! Mysha!" I chanted, swirling in the air. "How can I appease your anger?"Nicholas amusedly watched me do my craziness, plastering a genuine smile on his face. Although handsome, I couldn'

Aria's POVMy head hurts so badly that I think it's splitting open. Despite the heavy eyelids, I awoke. I can't recall what occurred last night. The only thing I remember is Nicholas and I had a heart-to-heart talk about some not-so-important issues."Good morning," Nicholas spoke as he kissed my lips.My brow furrowed after realizing I hadn't washed my teeth yet and prolly had bad breath. However, what surprised me the most wasn't the kiss. It was the fact that I was nude. Did we?I pulled the blanket tightly around my body, subconsciously biting the brim, trying to remember how we got here and how I became naked. My head was barren of ideas, and even recalling how I became intoxicated was like a camel passing through a needle hole."Why am I not dressed?"Things are confusing me. If something had happened to us. I would have felt an uncomfortable sensation between my thighs, but nothing. Besides, Nicholas would never seize an opportunity. He's better than that."You don't remember?
