"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

Aria's POVIt wasn't easy to completely let go of the pain, but it'll be more difficult if I'd nourish it within. I'm gradually working on releasing myself from past suffering, failure, and resentment, because only then will I be able to heal my inner wound.I resolved not to be uptight with the siblings. I tried to open my heart from the moment I settled to bury my anger with them. But, unlike in the past, I am becoming wiser. They will not be treated without reservation. Their sincerity will be put to the test as they go through needle and thread. "A meeting at three," Nicholas announced. "I'll take Aria with me."I had filled my empty seat. No one had taken over my position as Luna of the Pack. Most Alphas would have sought another she-wolf to stand in for Luna, but he didn't. Nicholas, according to Matthew, loves me. I don't want to speculate, but perhaps he didn't find another because he had hang ups for us. "Have you asked if she will agree?" Natasha pondered, sitting next to

Aria's POVThe meeting was cut short due to Luna Beatrice's temper tantrums. Nicholas can't forced Alpha Dony to return so that they can continue what they're talking about."Should we go see the cityscape?" he inquired.We were heading back to Red Moon around five o'clock. I'm not sure what Nicholas' plan is, but he mentioned the cityscape. Perhaps because it's almost night and the light there is excellent."It all depends on you; what are your plans?"I'm game for anything he wanted to do. Aside from the fact that we only go out from the pack on rare occasions, this could be a nice time to decompress."Let's unwind there for awhile," he said.True enough, we went directly to the city and reserved a table at one of the city's tallest restaurants. We are presently on the rooftop, from which we can overlook the entire neighborhood. This place reminds me of Antohollan; I've never been there at night, but I imagine it looks exactly like this at night. The magnificent streetlight embelli

Aria's POVNicholas' feverish kisses resumed once we entered his car. I was a little sober from the inebriated sensation, but a slight touch from him put me on my knees. I surrendered myself to him, ignoring my rationality. I couldn't stand the heat. Nicholas' kisses literally steal my sanity."You taste like honey, my sweet," he said in my ear as his hand began to make advances on my body.Our movement is restricted, though, due to the limited space within Nicholas's automobile. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine making out inside a car. It made me feel both scared and excited. Fear of being caught. Thrill at the prospect of new experiences."Nicholas, can't we be seen here?" I told him. He planted soft kisses on my neck. "It's tinted, baby. Don't worry." I know it's tinted, but we're in the werewolf realm. Their vision is more developed than that of humans, and they could presumably see what's within even if it was tinted. Nicholas must have forgotten it because he was so co

Aria's POVI was so taken aback by Natasha's words early in the morning that I didn't have time to shower, brush my teeth, or even get dressed. I followed her in my pajamas to the packhouse, where all of the officials were already dressed in war gear. They look like royal armies ready for battle, whilst I am completely unprepared. My form right now was so out of place."How did you know my sister was coming?" I asked Nicholas, who was perched on his seat.Despite the fact that Mysha and I do not get along as siblings. Maybe she thought of me as a stranger by now. Hurting her feels like a second regret that I'll have to live with for the rest of my life. My parents' demise made me realize how important family is. I can't face the idea that something horrible will happen to her."Our Crescentius spy delivered us a message," he explained.He had planted a spy in Crescentius? How could I have missed that? "Why do you have a spy there?"A gust of doubt hustled through my nascent trust in

Aria's POVAngered by the discourse she had with Nicholas, Mysha launched an attack. Our defense line was the first to meet Mysha's army of wolves, followed by the attacker, and they did the same. I looked at the sister I once admired, and I can't seem to find the familiarity in her anymore. She's totally different."Is there no other way to end this war?" I asked Nicholas.I don't want us to get to the point where blood is spilt and there is nothing left in the land because of my and Nicholas' parents, who are the basis of all of this. They're gone, therefore this meaningless fight must come to an end. We'll never know who uttered the truth on both sides because they're all dead. They are no longer present to testify about what occurred in the past. So, why are you still hanging on to that sad phase of life? We should all go on and forget about it. We will never progress if we remain rooted in the past. "If the Elders find out about this, both packs will suffer greatly," Natasha sa
