BORN TO BE A LUNA 65.
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

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

Aria's POV I breathed deeply as Nicholas' hands made their way to my fold, slowly and teasingly massaging it. My hand held the bed sheet hard as his lips toyed with my mountain, sucking and licking it like candy. "Ah! Nicholas!" I moaned as the tip of his shaft made contact with my sensitive flesh. My desire to have him fill my insides outweighs all rationale. I wanted him to fuck me so hard that I couldn't walk. "What do you want, my little she-devil?" he asked huskily, his body pressing into mine. Every touch of his steel-like erection made my body convulse in sheer pleasure. I can't stand it any longer. His teasing is driving me insane. "Please..." I implored, sounding like a different person. "I want you inside of me." Nicholas grinned sinisterly, laying delicate kisses on my neck, chest, and stomach. I expected him to fuck me immediately, but instead, his tongue landed in my moist folds. He inserted two fingers in my vag while skilfully licking and sucking my clitoris wit

"What's your plan now?" Natasha asked.Nicholas puffed his cigarette and looked around. Aria left him two years ago. He can't, however, blame the woman. He hurt her, even if it wasn't on purpose. So when she left, he let her go, stopping himself from finding her, giving Aria enough time to heal the wound he gave.It was late when he realized he had made a huge mistake by seeking vengeance and wasting his time with her. He was so preoccupied with his plans that he took the woman for granted. So when Aria fled, a rush of enlightenment washed over him, causing him to experience a slew of feelings he had never experienced before—emotional torture.Nicholas realized how much he adored her. Not because they were fated, but because her understanding had planted roots in his heart. When she discovered his secrets, lies, and malicious intent, she stayed and kept her word. He didn't.Years of suffering with his broken heart and angry wolf, where booze had become his companion so that he could

Aria's POV"Please, no," Mama Sally pleaded with the other villagers. "Ria did nothing wrong; she saved George."I can feel every stone thrown at me. It was excruciating, yet bearable. My human form tried to bear their wrath. Though painful, I still don't regret what I did. It was called for.In an unexpected situation, I had exposed myself to save Papa George. If I didn't do that, he would probably be dead by now. And everyone's kindness toward me was abruptly destroyed. Prior to learning that I wasn't human, they used to accept me, but now they want me dead. "Stop protecting that beast, Sally. Have you forgotten what her kind did to us? They are vicious and cruel. Now get out of the way and let us kill her," Mr. Chow said fiercely. I expected Mama Sally to be angry with me since I lied to her, but she wasn't. She shook her head, disagreeing with Mr. Chow, and despite her feeble body from old age, she tried to cover me. The tears that spilled from her eyes were like a needle pierci

Aria's POVYesterday's encounter with Mysha was not pleasant, but thankfully Luke is still sane enough not to cause trouble. He calmed Mysha, and the latter relaxed, enough for us to depart. If not, chaos will reign supreme because of her rage."Aria..."I stared lazily at the bedroom door that had just opened, through which Nicholas had entered. We're not completely fine. But I have no choice but to swallow my pride. So we made some concessions. I returned to the pack, but not on his life—hence the separate bedroom."Yes?" He coughed up. "Lunch is ready downstairs; let's eat."I nodded. There was no place for me to be stubborn about these little details. Nicholas is trying to reach out to me in many ways, but something inside of me isn't ready to risk another possible heartbreak. He's made it apparent that he wants me back, it's just that I'm scared.That horrific recollection is what is holding me back. It reduced my ability to weigh things. It makes me question everything that ha
