ALPHA AIDEN’S POV.“Is anything wrong?” I asked, wondering why he had a different expression on.“Well, I it’s about how you keep withdrawing from Aria. She seems really hurt.” Jamison spoke, looking quite concerned.I appreciated the fact that he was also concerned about the person I love, but it was a bit annoying that he was bringing this topic up in a way that seemed like I was being wicked.“But you know I can’t allow that to happen, and it’s not my fault. You should also know that I’m feeling pained about this, but I can’t get closer to her more than I have, right now.“I understand. But I just feel there has to be a better way so she can understand, and be less hurt.”“And do you have any suggestion on how we can do this?” I questioned, hoping he had something and not just giving me an unnecessary headache.“Okay. Do you feel you can tell her about this? Maybe if she knows about your predicament, she’s going to calm down, and her pain will be lesser than being kept in the dark
ARIA’S POV.“Aria!” Aiden called my name as I stormed into my room angrily, with a pain-struck heart.I folded my arms, and halted, staring at him as he walked in.“Why did you walk out without saying a word?” Aiden questioned, looking like he was trying his best to restrain himself from blowing out.I know it was disrespectful of me to walk out on them without saying a word, especially as he was present there, but there was nothing that would come out of my mouth without sounding angry.How could he bring in another instructor without talking about it to me? That really hurt my feelings. It was more like he was disgusted and tired of me, so the best option was to hand over the training to someone else.“Why?” I broke out softly.My voice broke, expressing how hurt and broken I was by his actions, and this time, I couldn’t control my tears. They came down my eyes seamlessly with no efforts.Then Aiden sighed like he had given up, and then walked up to me. He cleaned my tears with his
ARIA’S POV.My eyes fluttered out of shock, and my heart began to beat rapidly, feeling like it was going to pop out of my chest. I opened my mouth to ask him why he was here, but no words came out of my mouth. My tongue had betrayed me.“Are… are you ready for training this morning?” He asked, and cleared his throat.“Uhm… Yeah. Yeah. Is that what you came to my room to ask me?” I finally asked him.“Yeah. Actually, I came to see if you’re okay.” “Oh, I see.” I said, trying to cover up the fact that I felt butterflies in my stomach.That was quite embarrassing to me, because despite all that happened between us last night; how he made me feel really sad, I still felt butterflies in my stomach with one caring question of his. Aria, you have to be strong. You can’t have yourself melting at every single word he says.“So, have you thought about what we discussed about getting a new training instructor?” He asked, looking calm and like he was carefully treading on that path.Although,
ALPHA AIDEN’S POV.Aria was currently doing something to Blaze, and he seemed to be trying his best to fight against it, but he could get tired of fighting, and what we do not expect, could happen to him.“Aria, what are you doing?” I snapped her out of wherever she must have traveled to, in her mind.She was only staring into blank space, but with a straight face.Aria shook her head, and looked at me like she was taken aback.“I…I… What did I do?” She asked, looking a bit terrified.“Aria, you need to concentrate. You need to be ready to learn how to control your powers before you hurt someone.” I said to her as I shook her firmly.“I’m… I’m sorry. I guess I just got carried away.” She apologized, and then walked out, looking like she was trying to get herself together.I looked towards Blaze. Jamison had gone to check if he was fine. “I’m sorry I didn’t prove to be a good training instructor.” Blaze apologized sincerely.“Not that you aren’t a good training instructor. You were j
ARIA’S POV.I turned my head to the direction of the sound of the husky voice, and to my shock, a group of rogues had appeared. The one with the husky voice seemed to be the leader, and they all began to surround me.I moved a few steps backward, feeling my heart thump hard like it was going to escape out of my chest, if care wasn’t taken.“When I see the likes of you, my blood boils. You all enjoy your life in a pack, and do things the way it pleases you. I’m so happy to meet you, just so I can tear you apart.”“I think we should make her suffer before she finally dies.” One of them suggested.My head turned to look at those who were giving different suggestions regarding what punishment they should give me. All these suggestions only showed how bitter they were. They certainly had bitter stories to tell, and to me, this seemed like I could use them to my advantage; only if I find a way to convince them to follow me.“Hold on!” I voiced out, trying to muster every bit of confidence
ARIA’S POV.“How the hell was a rogue able to walk into my home without the guards sending him back!” Aiden raised his voice, and then both he and Jamison looked at me sharply like they had just realized that I could have been the one behind it.“Did you…”“Yes, I did. I…”“What!” Aiden interrupted me, with his eyes looking as fiery as a flame.“Look Aiden. You need to calm down. I have a reason for doing that.”“Come on, Aria. There’s no reasonable reason for you to do such a thing! This is unreasonable, and you know it.” Aiden lashed out, and connected the heel of his palm on his face.“Just stay calm, and listen to what I have to say.” I said, with a soft voice, and moved closer to him, looking straight into his eyes with a pleading look.Then Jamison bowed a little, and walked out of the study room. Aiden searched my eyes with his, like he was trying to understand the reason I acted that way, and with this, I hoped that he was going to listen to me, and that the plan which I had
ALPHA KING RYAN’S POVI took a deep sip of my wine, while staring at the painting on the wall in my living room. All that filled my mind at this moment was how to get into Aiden’s private walls. I needed to know whatever they were planning and everything about them, just so that whenever I want to strike, it’s going to be a perfect strike.“Hmmm I keep thinking of perfect ways to get rid of that Aiden, but all ideas on my mind seem kind of a little too impossible to use.” I spoke out, and Kiera who had been staring at me like she had been desiring to know what was in my mind, sat up.“Well, Aiden isn’t someone one can take down with just little ideas. I guess we’ll have to think deeply of something. It can’t be done in a day, you know.” Kiera uttered, looking serious about the situation on ground.“Well, I know about that. And it has been days since I have been thinking about the perfect plan to hatch against him.”“Oh, really? Well, the longer it takes, I think that’s how bright the
ALPHA KING AIDEN’S POVFortunately, Jamison was able to catch up with the rogues and had managed to get the leader of the rogues to agree to have a meeting with me. As a rogue, he could decline, because he wasn’t under any rule or King.So, I appreciated the fact that he accepted to meet with me, which was very much needed at this point. I was getting ready to go into the forest as it was almost time for us to meet, and I’m certain he could have been there an hour or two before now.But that’s his choice.“Is he there yet?” I asked Jamison who had gone to check, just so as to avoid I going to the middle of the forest for nothing.“He is, Alpha.” Jamison responded, with a slight smile.“Much better. Alright, I’ll head off now.”“Uhm… Don’t I need to go with you? I mean, these rogues can’t be trusted.” Jamison expressed his concern.“I know right? But you don’t have to worry. I’ll be fine. A mere rogue can’t do anything to me.”“But…But what if it’s not just the leader who came?”Jamiso
