Aria POV
My wolf growl loudly at Brian wolf. My wolf was bigger and stronger than his even though he was the beta of Dreamstake pack. He was strong but I was stronger and faster than him. Unlike him I got my combat training from the best teacher alive, my brother. He force me to learn how to fight even though I didn't want to. Now sparring with someone whenever I was stressed out, fustrated or angry was an hubby of mine. Each time I get hit or angrily hit the one I'm up against I feel better. The physical pain makes me feel better.My wolf claw hard at Brian wolf. Blood ran down his face as he ran away from me and change back to his human form. I followed his move and change back even though I wasn't yet satisfied with the results of the spare yet. I still felt angry and fustrated. We both put on back our clothes."I won't complain about my face, I know I deserve it." Brian said, his hands was on his face, tracing the line of the scars that had stop bleeding because Brian was a fast healer.I glared at him. He was damn right about him deserving that. How could he not tell me the truth."Will ever forgive me. I said that I'm sorry. Things are actually more complicated than you think."I was tired of hearing that word. 'complicated' it was the same thing that Bryant kept saying to me. "Were you aware of it the same time Bryant was?."Brian gave out a fustrated sigh and sat down on a broken branch. He patted on an empty spot as an indication for me to sit down next to him. Sitting down next to him wasn't a good idea and he knew that. I was angry enough to claw more than just his face and he knows that. Brian had never been one of those who was afraid of me, even though I was stronger than him."Do you still remember that Kaiser use to have a sister before she was stolen?"His words made me to remember Kaiser. I haven't seen him. Like was he dead or something? "Yes.""Jenny is Kaiser missing sister. We found her and some other werewolves who had also been stolen away from their parents last year. It was also the same time we discovered that Jenny was Bryant mate."I was surprised but I couldn't bring myself to feel pity for her or her situation. My mind still remember her words to Bryant when she asked him to choose between her and me. Perhaps if she didn't pressure Bryant so much I would have still been with him. It would have been a lie, but still I don't care, Bryant was my forever, I don't want anyone else. "That still didn't give any of you guys the right to lie to me." I said, being stubborn."I know, I know, I told Bryant to tell you the truth but Kaiser and Bryant was against the idea of telling you the truth. Kaiser wanted to protect his sister and Bryant wanted to...""What? His mate." This conversation wasn't helping me, I knew that Brian was trying to make me understand things but honestly, it wasn't working. I can't understand anything right now. "You can go ahead and say it. I already know so there's no need for you to leave the word hanging.""When Bryant found her, he sincerely tried to break the mate bond but Kaiser won't allowed him because his sister was too weak at that time. His sister wasn't the only one we found weak, we also found some other wolf who didn't remember how they got there and why their wolf was so weak. Some of them was already Dead when we got there the others that were alive like Jenny had lost of memory of what happened to them after they were taken away from their parents. The only memory in their head was the life they live before they were stolen." There was seriousness in his voice when he spoke of the other wolfs.I couldn't reply to Brian words, I'm sure that Bryant must have fought hard with his wolf when he wanted to reject Jenny the first time he found her. I wish he told me that when he was apologizing to me. Was anything going to change if he had told me that? He could no longer reject her anymore, things was different from when he didn't know her to now when he knows her and was now so worried about her because of how weak she was."Have you guys found out the truth about what really happened to them?" My voice sounded pathetic. I feel pathetic, knowing that I actually had a chance with Bryant at some point gave me a bit of hope that died when my wolf reminded me that he was now in love with his mate. There were times she tries to comfort me by telling me things I found silly. It was all about how we would found our own mate and he would be better than Bryant. I can't think of anyone who would ever be better than Bryant. No matter what I did and how I tried to understand the fact that Bryant didn't mean it. The situation wasn't his fault. I still couldn't help it. I was hurt and it's not something that could just easily go away with few words or a pity story."We haven't but we are all still searching, most especially Kaiser. I think he's using this as an opportunity to get away from you because his sister don't like you because of Bryant.""I believe the feeling here is mutual, I don't like her either." If only Jenny was part of the wolfs that died in the hell Bryant and the rest found them. Maybe then my heart would be more open to this tragic story. But right now it hard for me to feel sorry for her. Not only have I lost a friend because of her but I have also lost my boyfriend.I was sure that if not for the stupid mate bond Bryant wouldn't look at her twice, I was better than her in every area. I was taller, pretty, stronger. And most importantly I was the better wolf. Alpha blood ran in my vein. I would make the better Luna.I smiled as I felt my wolf in agreement with me.Aria pov"How long have you been here?""An hour and some few minutes." I ignored him and went back to sleep. But with Bryant here, it was hard to sleep, even faking it was hard. He needed to stop doing things like this. Actions like this send me mix signals about his feelings for me. Ever since the day I caught him and his mate I have successfully drove him away from his room that use to be our room, he now sleep in the room next door. We hardly see each other, whenever I got up in the morning I was eager to leave the house, because I didn't want to see him."Aria why have you been ignoring me." He breath out, heavy breath. Calling himself stupid under his breath. He was right about that, he really was stupid. "I meant to say, please stop ignoring me, I missed talking to you. I really don't like it when we fight." "Do you call her love too?" "Aria I'm not here to talk about my mate. I'm here to talk about us. I don't want us to drift away from each other because of this. I missed
Aria povI laughed hard at beta Brian lamed jokes. we were both outside together again, it wasn't like we planned it. It just happened. Although I felt like he was the one using a lot of free time in his schedule to make sure that i was alright. Like he could see that I wanted nothing more than to be away from people but he's not letting that happened because the truth was that I needed someone by my side right now. Someone who was ready to listen and tell me that I was right even though I was wrong. Not like Brian was doing a great job at it, he was too honest for his own good. But still, small things like this made me happy. I still had a friend who was still standing by me even though I clawed his face."With the way you are smiling and no longer glaring at me these days, is it safe for me to say that I have been forgiven?" Brian ask, he was cautious with his words. Like what he did was such a big deal and I had planned to hate him for the rest of my life. I nodded my head as we b
Aria povA soft knock came to the door."come in" I shouted. "There you go." Beta Brian said as he drop off a few clothes and an underwear for me."Thank you." I said as I smiled at him and took the little bag of clothes, I'm sure he must have felt weird while taking all this things from the pack house but he still did it and I was grateful. Looking inside the bag, I frown as I look at the clothes that was inside. I just needed a pair of clothes to stay in Brian house for today, then maybe later in the evening I would go back to the pack house. Still haven't fully decided on what I wanted yet. I really didn't want to see my ex and his mate together again."Is something wrong?" Brian asked. I pulled out the shirt from inside the bag as I frown at it. The shirt was for Bryant, one of his few clothes that I stoled from him. I was sure I threw away all his clothes that was with me, so what the heck was this doing here? And together with that short. Only Bryant knew that I like wearing th
Aria pov"Aria, what sort of question is are you asking? you are my best friend and I care about you. I know that right now you don't like seeing Jenny at the pack house but one day she is going to live here. You know that, it is something that have to happened eventually, there's no point hiding her away, people around the pack have started noticing that she's my mate." I was no longer shock by alpha Bryant hurtful words anymore. It just pissed me off that he makes himself go and comes whenever he wanted to in my life. And when he was in front of me with his stupid apologies, they were nothing more but an insult to my face. He say he cares again and again but he still couldn't fake his emotions for me anymore now that his secret was out in the open."It's okay Bryant." I said with disdain all over my face. "I'm okay with everything that's happening, you don't have to be here, you don't have to explain yourself to me either.""Aria." His gazes hold my eyes to his. The way he called m
Aria povThis was so annoying. Just when I finally decided to out into the city for while, this had to happened."Did you find any mechanic?" I asked, hearing Brian footsteps behind me. After a minute I decided to turn around when he wasn't answering me. I thought it was weird that he wasn't saying anything. Jenny was standing behind me, her eyes going between me and my bike. Turning around, I ignored her like she wasn't there. Maybe if I don't say anything to her, she might take a hint and go away. "You know, I have been meaning to ask but are you going out with Beta Brian?" Her voice sounded so annoying, what made her think she could come in here, at the garage and talk to me. "You would love it if I was, wouldn't you?" Jenny gave out a short chuckle. "It not like I came here to look for trouble, it just that I have been around the pack and most pack members are aware of the fact that Alpha Bryant have found his mate."Of course she was here to cause trouble."You can tell me
Aria povMindlessly I flip through the different channels in the TV. My favorite show wasn't on, Even if it was, I wasn't going to watch it anymore. Usually I watch it with Bryant by my side. If only Brian wasn't busy with his beta duties today, we could be training together right now. "Stop it, we both know Aria, she isn't capable of doing something like that." Maybe it was because I was thinking about Brian I was starting to hear his voice. "What are trying to say that Jenny is lying?" I was also hearing Bryant voice. "Wait a minute." I got up from my relax position on the couch and look at the direction both voices were coming from.Bryant opened the door, immediately his eyes found mine. I have never seen him look at me like that before. He looks completely enraged."Bryant you can't do this. You are going to hurt Aria again if you do this." Brian tries his best in convincing Bryant.Hurt me?"But she hurt Jenny, you are just saying this because she isn't your mate. If only y
Aria povI could hear them all clearly, they weren't even going to pretend as if I wasn't there. none of them cared, I still remember the time they all wanted to be close to me because I was alpha Bryant girlfriend, now with the sudden turn of events they gossip me without caring, there was no escape for me in Dreamstake pack. The pack house was suffocating, the pack itself with the pack members were no difference. I can't stand this place anymore, I don't want to, the person I was fighting for didn't even know that I'm only staying here because I was fighting for him. I know right now that for others, this was the perfect reason for me to just pack my bags and go without caring about Bryant anymore. But I couldn't do that, I felt exactly the opposite of what I was supposed to feel, to me this gave me more reason why I needed to stay. If I didn't, who would save Bryant from his lying mate that wanted to destroy his life.I headed back the pack house, nothing in this pack could take my
Aria povThings didn't get better for me in anyway. Jenny was still at the house, she hadn't left ever since the day she came in. To protect her, Kaiser stayed with her. Alpha Bryant didn't care about my feelings anymore, he was serious when he said that he wanted me out of the house, if he had in any way cared about my feelings he wouldn't have brought Jenny into the pack house. The forest soil was dark brown, almost blackish. I pick up a lonely stone from the ground and throw it away, watching as it flew across me into a little pool of water. I felt no different from the stone, I threw away in boredom, we were both alone, abandoned and throw away when the whole world thought that we weren't needed anymore.Jenny wounds was taking forever to heal, she was a really weak wolf, my guess was that, either because of what was done to her before or she was the one who keeps the wound on her body, as a reason to remind Bryant every blessed day of how much of a threat I was to her and how ev
