Aria's POV...
I despise Kyle with every fibre in me; I wish to kick him in the face and have him spit out blood. That is the only thing that would keep me sane; he is so disrespectful and thinks he can trample over me just because of my current status. I am so going to get back at him. I fumed, kicking at the fight dummy hard, imagining it was Kyle's face and crotch. I would have loved to see him moan in pain.
"Do you mind taking pity on your leg and arm? Do you intend to incapacitate them?" Raven inquired, folding her hands against her chest, watching me.
"I just want to get this over with." I puffed.
"No, what you are doing is fighting the wrong person. Who exactly do you intend to beat with so much violence involved?" She asked.
I turned to look at her, hanging my punch in the air. "How did you know I have a person in mind?"
"You have been letting out a long string of curses all morning, and to cap it all, your strength seems to have doub
Aria's POV...It felt like Ella dragged me to the entrance of the study; if I had my way, I would have run as fast as my legs could carry me far. As long as I don't get to face Kyle again and have to deal with his silliness or anything regarding the moonstone pack, my life will be fulfilled."You called me, Alpha," I mumbled tiredly as I entered, not bothering to knock."Did you hit your head on the way?" He questioned.I hummed in confusion, "what do you mean?"Kyle glared, "There's obviously something wrong with you for barging in here like an uncouth animal."I rolled my eyes, "Is that all you have to say? I take it that you are in a sour mood, so it's fine. Why am I here again?" I could see his eyes twitching; no doubt he was livid."If you don't watch that tongue of yours, I will have them cut off this minute!" He warned."That implies I wouldn't have to bear your heir or put up with you. Sounds like a good choice." I mutt
Aria's POV...Raven wasn't joking when she said her family wasn't all that; it felt like the home was devoid of people. No warmth or affection; everyone seems to have their nose up in the air. They didn't even pretend to be sweet towards each other in front of me, considering I was a guest. We had no choice but to head out of the house for some nice non-suffocating fresh air. My adoptive family weren't this bad; for the first time since I made friends with Raven, I noticed the sadness in her eyes."I have been a bad friend, I see," I muttered, playing with my ordered drink. We settled for an open restaurant ten minutes away from her home.Raven stopped halfway through her drink, "what do you mean?""Your family. I see why you enjoy being at the training ground so bad. And your brother looks a bit familiar."She scoffed, "That's because you must have seen him on the training ground most times.""How is it that you don't talk, and everyone kee
Author's POV...Devon tapped his feet on the hard ground with his hands behind his pocket; his heart thumped loudly when he heard Aria call out to him. Ever since they had a forced fallout, he had tried so hard to avoid her. The closer he gets to her, the more he can't seem to take his mind off her.His mother had acted unbothered when Devon confronted her for threatening Aria. On the other hand, maybe he dreamed too much of what would never happen. He has known Kyle all his life, and as friendly as he might appear, Kyle doesn't like to share whatever he thinks belongs to him. Devon had been observant enough to know Kyle wasn't happy about him and Aria. However, he had followed his heart nonetheless.Aria let out an awkward smile as she stood before him; scratching the back of her neck, she tried to keep her eyes glued to the ground.Devon chuckled, "I do have a day job, Aria. And I am sure your friend is eager for you to return."She sighed, "I'm
Aria's POV...As much as I appreciate Barrin's help in bringing me to the packhouse without getting drenched by the already pouring rain, I still don't like the ride. The rain started the moment I stepped foot in the packhouse. I thought Barrin would come in to see Kyle. Instead, he drove off as soon as I got down. My phone rang loudly in my purse; opening it, I brought out the cell phone. Raven's name popped up on the caller ID."I'm about to lose my mind right now. Where the hell did you keep your phone?" She blurted all at once.I huffed tiredly as I walked through the hallway, with the rain making its debut on the roof. "I am sorry, didn't realize the phone was ringing. I was preoccupied with getting home on time.""Are you home now?""Yes.""I feel so relieved to hear that. Talk to you later." Raven muttered in her sweet tone, hanging up.Smiling to myself, I opened my room door and almost sank into the wall. Ky
Kyle's POV...I watched as she jabbed and punched at the moulded fighting partner with all her strength. Aria seems to be pulling me in every now and then. It's been two weeks since we started getting more intimate, and I must admit, they are the best times I have had in a long while. I don't even feel so much guilt towards Barrin like before. Not because I don't love him anymore, but because I keep telling myself it's just sex to birth an heir. Even though there is no total ounce of truth in it.Still, there is no way I am letting go of Aria soon. Having her wrap her legs around me, trusting me enough to go deep into her, makes my heart race and my wolf filled with excitement. It feels extremely different with Barrin. I don't know why I keep comparing both; I just can't seem to help it.Not telling Barrin about the arrangement was a good idea; he appears uncomfortable with the supposed two days meet per week. And he has become more needy and clingy, all because
Aria's POV...I couldn't resist the grateful expression on my face. Kyle looked utmostly pleased after he orgasmed; his cheekbones brightened in a usual way."Why do I feel like you are beginning to enjoy this." I teased.He sniffed, turning away from me to pull up his trousers. "This is just a way to get you to conceive on time. It's not like we can be sure of when it would happen.""Hmm, I see," I muttered, not letting go of the taunt in my voice. "Anyways, I feel really sticky. I should head back to my room.""Just like that?" He queried.I stared at him in confusion, "what do you mean?""Your heart doesn't flutter, or your legs weak, considering what just happened now?"I tried to be sure of what he was trying to achieve by observing his face close enough; it was obvious he expected me to give off some sort of reaction to please his ego. Even though I must admit, sex with Kyle feels like the best in the world. I am not abou
Kyle's POV...Grinning to myself at how silly Aria was, denying how much I make her feel to my face, I tried to act oblivious to the fact that she enjoys my company as much as I do; she did awful at faking her feelings. To avoid tramping on her ego, I made it seem like her denial got to me. Instead, it only made me feel more attached to her. My dick still jolts in excitement at the thought of meeting with her again tonight.I chuckled to myself, wondering what had gotten over me. I am beginning to act lovesick. I can't seem to resist having her in my arms every night. Our meetings might get extended to every day of the week. My thoughts faded with the wind when the door opened abruptly, and a dead-faced-looking Barrin walked in.His face only looks blank like that when he is pissed at me; I sat up, holding his gaze. "What's wrong, babe? Why are you looking so livid?"He exhaled, throwing his head to the back. Whatever was bothering him, Barrin was trying
Aria's POV...My confidence went with the wind at Kyle's violent shove; the wolf inside me, which belongs to Breona, was in utmost despair at the second rejection. Both Barrin and Kyle have turned their back on their wolf. What I don't seem to understand is what came over him all of a sudden. We were fine some hours ago, and I was excited to be with him. The look in his eyes broke my heart to pieces.Swallowing hard, I dragged myself off the floor. Something tumbled inside of me. It felt like my intestines were struggling against each other. I managed to get myself to my room, but the pain became more intense. It felt like I might pass out; after what felt like forever and sweat broke out on my forehead, relief came. I leaned against the door, shaking from its effect; whatever it is, I hope it doesn't happen again.I got up and headed to the bathroom as it suddenly felt really hot; I didn't make it to the bathtub when my legs gave way, and I fell to the ground h
