Aria's POVThe pack doctor immediately aided Natasha after we returned to the packhouse. However, it'll probably take her some days to heal her wounded face. Mazz was too cruel and abusive to punch Natasha, considering he was a man. It served him right that she rejected him as a mate. He doesn't deserve her.On a serious note, male shifters nowadays are getting too much. They are too possessive and obsessed in an unhealthy way. Our link is like a gun to our heads; one wrong move and they'll pull the trigger. Mates were not designed to be like ticking time bombs...but it seems like that.Speaking of the devil, my gaze was pulled to the approaching figure. Mazz's eyes were filled with rage while staring at me, his hands were tied, and two warriors held him on each side, taking him to the prison cell.He has no reason to be upset with me. I acted morally correct. Despite the fact that they are mates, he shouldn't have hurt Natasha. In addition to that, crossing the border brusquely is li

"Five died," Gregg noted.Nicholas blew a puff of smoke while looking at the dead. Mazz's sudden intrusion earlier caught them off guard. A bit complacent as he had already spoken with that man trading off words.It's been a week since that talk, yet the fucker broke down his promise and betrayed him. Seriously, he doesn't want to intervene in their dispute, but Natasha implores him to treat Aria nicely in return. So, he interferes...for Aria."Cremate them all," Nicholas ordered.He was not unfamiliar with this circumstance. Numerous rogues attempted to attack the pack, but none were successful. However, as can be expected, death is inevitable. A hundred warriors perished at one point, but fortunately, the enemy did not win and was defeated. Therefore, he was unsurprised by what had occurred today. Such attacks are typical in the realm."I'm heading back to the packhouse," he said as he walked away.Aria was no longer in the packhouse when Nicholas arrived; she probably proceeded to

Aria's POVA week had passed since the rogue episode, and strange as it may appear, Nicholas' behavior towards me had changed. He's like a flower luring me to give in and let my walls shatter once more. In a nutshell, he transformed into something very unexpected.But this pattern on him felt familiar: like a sense of deja vu. Nicholas is like a season; he's cold in the summer and hot when it's winter. He was sweet at the beginning of our relationship, but it faded. Now he does it again, being soft. But I refuse to believe it. He deceived me not just once or twice but more, so I don't know if I should still trust him."Hi."I adjusted my weight and focused on the door where Natasha was standing. She had a little smile on her face as she looked at me. I couldn't help but squint to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. Natasha, in addition to Nicholas, perplexes me. Her previously caustic and witchy attitude had shifted to the opposite extreme; she was now far too good to be true. The rogue a

Aria's POVTwo years laterMy gaze fell on the skyscraper in Antohollan. Every time I come here to make deliveries, the place never fails to amaze me. The cityscape is bustling with people and vendors, but it's not as crazy as it was in our domain. Years of juggling and trying to conform to this new environment were challenging. To fit in, I had to bury my identity, which is why Kaia remains hidden from the rest of them; not even the people I had to get to know here know who and what I actually am.It's been two years since I landed in the human realm—two years after that unfortunate incident—but no matter how hard I tried to erase those awful memories, two years couldn't heal the scars in my heart. Now and again, it bleeds. It was terminal."Don't you really want to work here in the city?" Mrs. Mercedez asked.She is a powerful figure in Antohollan, owning restaurant franchises around Europe. Living in this metropolis is enticing, but I couldn't afford to give up the peace I have in

Aria's POVThe alarm had been upped to level two, which caused Papa George to become anxious. It was nearly eight o'clock at night, and neither of us had eaten. Mama Sally sat at the kitchen counter while Papa George sat restlessly on the chair near the front door. The province is calm; the only unfavorable one is that there have been incidents where wild bears have come down and eaten animals, which most people here dread. "What creature could there be in the woods that Alfredo had raised the alarm?" I knew precisely what was hiding in the woods but couldn't bring myself to say anything. They have no idea what I am. They'd be surprised if I told them it was a werewolf. I can't risk everything — not now—not when everything feels like an ideal to me. This newfound family had been a treasure to me being abandoned by them would equate to the hurt I felt when my parents died. I couldn't afford to lose them."I have no idea, Sally."My hand formed into a fist, trying to stop myself fro

Aria's POVI tried to suppress the fiery emotions within me, plastering a blank facade of ignorance. My heart was beating out of rhythm as Kaia grew more ecstatic. Although, we both hated what had happened two years ago but the longing that she felt overpowered her anger."This is Nicholas Sainthood, my son's boss. He came here to visit our place and see what he could do to help us," the village head announced. Nicholas eyes locked on mine, unaware of everyone's attention, so I shifted mine to something else. I don't want Miaka to doubt us who's like a dog that can smell immediately when there's something going on in between.The villagers welcome Nicholas with enthusiasm and to not make everything obvious. I joined them. I feigned innocent and act as if he was a total stranger to me."He's so handsome," Miaka exclaimed, a lusty desire etched on her face.I didn't like it. Even if Nicholas' and I are far from each other with a broken relationship and with a dark past. I hate to hear

Aria's POVThe devil dare smile while looking at my annoyed face. He really can't read a room. I don't know what his plan is that he chose to disturbed my quiet life. Is he not done making me suffer yet?"Stop acting like we're okay and that you coming here, talking to me, disturbing me, is okay Nicholas! Can you fucking grow up?"I wanted to scream in frustration, but I was scared Mama Sally would hear. Nicholas appeared as if what happened years ago was fine—as if we're fine when, in fact, we're not. The only thing I want us to do is leave each other's lives alone. We've gone through painful phases, and I'm at the point where I don't want to be involved with him again. My parents' death should be enough to put an end to whatever is between us, regardless of whether we're mated."Why are you so harsh to me, Aria?"Is he delusory? Has he forgotten what happened two years ago? Don't tell me he's lost his memory. The latter's supposition is too far-fetched, especially given he is still
BORN TO BE A LUNA 68.
Aria's POVOnly three days had gone when, as Nicholas foretold, he returned, this time accompanied by Caldron, the chief's son who had not been present the last time, and they were joined by Matthew. It seems like the siblings' personalities have shifted since, whereas Matthew used to smile at me, he was now as grave as a goblin. He never once looked at me as if it were a sin to look at me. I'm baffled. He's like guilty of something—connected to me. "Father, my boss had brought a contract now for the upcoming milling project," Caldron explained.I actually wasn't supposed to be here. This is a private discussion in which we, the peasants, are not required. But, for whatever reason, Nicholas has requested my presence.Nicholas gives me that smug grin every now and then that I wish I could punch out. He's vexing. He mentions a future conflict with Crescentius, yet he appears unconcerned, as if oblivious to the looming peril.I'm sitting on the right side of the chief, feeling like a fr
