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?

Aria's POVThe weekend has arrived, and as we discussed the night before, Nicholas and I went shopping for a frock to wear to the ceremony. Likewise, it was our way of at least having a date outside of the pack because the place he selected for us to visit is no longer a part of Red Moon.I believe it was named Silver Glaze Pack or something related to glaze. That seemed odd, and the name reminded me of a glazed doughnut. Speaking of which, I'm craving a doughnut."Which is better, this one," I asked Nicholas, pointing to the mermaid-like gown studded with pearls and diamonds or "this one," pointing to the white silk-fitting dress that is a little exposing.For my tastes, I favor the latter. Yet, the event is formal, so a decent outfit is better, especially since a few other Alphas and Lunas are invited."Whichever of the two you like, Aria. I'd have no say. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable."This is what I appreciate about him. He's protective of me in ways that don't go beyo

Aria's POVThe Ancestral Hall, where the ritual is held, is what I can see out of the window. The dated building has been transformed into an excellent one with a grandiose design. The entrance was embellished with vines, butterflies, and a motif that resembled a portal on the door. It exceeded my expectations.Everyone who entered would get the illusion that they were traveling through a separate dimension, even if they weren't. During the pre-planning, I made sure to point out these particulars to the organizer, and they both concurred. I informed them that the cotton-white theme would be applied inside the Hall and the forest-themed ones would be outside. While the interior was delicate and graceful, the exterior was aggressive and organic. It was how I imagined the afterlife to be.The rituals haven't started yet, but the tension in my chest is mounting. And my nerves were amplified as the loud music began to play, signaling that the ceremony was about to start.I sighed, turned

Aria's POV "They won the trial." I can't help but be happy on this day for a couple of different reasons, one of which being the Crescentius' victory over their accusers. I almost punched Elora earlier because she conveyed the news so suspensefully. I truly believed Mysha had lost the case; thankfully, Elora quickly repudiated what she had said earlier. Otherwise, I would have been devastated. "How did you get that information anyway?" Instead of heading straight to my room, I ended up in the living room, gossiping with Elora. Yet, one thing that puzzled me was how she obtained such info. She didn't respond to my query, instead showing me her phone. The moniker 'GGE' gossip girl era attracted my interest in a specific group chat. So she received the gossip from here? "Creative source of intelligence, no?" She laughed and nodded. After Elora and I talked, I didn't spend much time in the living room. She has work to do with servicing the guests because there is so much to cater t
