AriaI woke up in someone's embrace.As I struggled to try to open my eyes and my hands moved to rest on the person's naked chest, the memories from yesterday came swashing into my mind like a frantic wave.Panic was the first thing that permeate me but it began fading away as rapidly as it had appeared once I remembered Hunter's apology and gentle caresses.I had never got the chance to feel it, but being in Hunter's arms was the most peaceful place I had ever found myself.I was basically laying on the top of its body with only a shirt of his covering my body that he supposedly put on me after I had lost consciousNot even a bit of discomfort could be seen in his expression despite having my whole weight on the top of his body. He was in a deep doze.I did not have any idea of what made me do it but I leaned closer to him, resting my head on his chest and hearing his steady heartbeats that for this particular moment seemed like the most interesting thing in the world.The warmth of h
Aria"Aria, we are going to start your training from today," Hunter informed me after we had our breakfast. Today he had decided to bring our breakfast to our room. "Okay," I nodded, "From when?""Now." He casually buttoned up his shirt whilst I glued down the last few sips of the orange juice. "From now?" I was a bit surprised, not that I had any problem about having to start the training soon."Yeah, do you have any problem love?"Unknowingly a faint red shade of blush took over my face upon being called 'love' by him but I shook my thoughts away before they could make a mess."No," I shook my head, "It's fine by me.""Okay, then get ready." He flashed me a smile and I nodded before pushing aside the blanket that was covering my body.But before I could get down from the bed, I heard his low growl that rumbled in his chest and noticed his darkened orbs.At first, I did not understand what was the reason behind it, but once I became aware of my appearance the situation became clear
AriaMy breathing came out as pants, my body was covered in sweat, the shirt I had dropped long ago remained discarded on the floor ever since leaving me in only the lace bralette, and my eyes persistent on the target— Hunter Rodriguez.Collecting myself from the floor where I ended up because of the previous defeat I strode towards him to attack him.This time too, it all happened in less than a second.The sword dropped from my hand for the umpteenth with Hunter's Strike on it and my body dropped to the floor at the impact; Once again he crouched down and looked at me, the tug appeared at the corner of his lips.Well..of course. For the past hour, I had been constantly losing and making a fool of myself over and over again."Kitten," He chuckled moving his hand to brush away the hair strand over my face, "You are really a kitten."I swatted his hand away and sat up; The anger had gotten the best of me and this anger was undoubtedly the result of my continuous defeats."I haven't giv
AriaFor the past few days, Hunter had been draining out all my energy with his deadass long hours of training. It was absolutely hard to keep up with the new techniques and ways that he came up with. My days were either spent training with him or completing the pack duties.Today, however, was different.I took a break from those exhausting training sessions. Although Hunter was quite reluctant to allow me a break my stubbornness came in my help and he ended up giving up on the argument we had had yesterday.The smile had not been wiped off of my lips ever since my victory and now as I was taking a shower, still the smile was visible.A break meant a lot for my over-worked mind and body.Hunter was out to check up on the injured warriors who would be released from the pack hospital today.So that meant I could easily get out with this mini towel wrapped around my body because guess what? I once again forgot to bring my clothes or even my robe.The overexcitement of having a day off m
AriaHunter took a few steps back only so that he could take a look at my body properly.Insecurities were kicking in every side of my mind. He had been with tons of gorgeous she-wolves and could get anyone he wanted. Was he going he like was he saw? Or my imperfections were going to be the first thing he'd notice."You are absolutely gorgeous." He breathed out, looking astonished as he gazed down at me. I couldn't get myself to look at him anymore, didn't know why was I feeling so insecure.Perhaps it was my doubts that were crawling their way to mind—The doubts that were only there because of the lack of communication between me and Hunter over the years.Like all the other times' Hunter seemed to comprehend my dilemma and he once again closed our distance."Hey, look at me," He turned me to face him, "You have nothing to be ashamed of. You have no idea how fucking perfect you are, Aria. Everything about you is spectacular." He kissed my jaw and brushed his fingers on my bare brea
AriaI had slipped on my clothes long ago and decided to focus on the book I had picked up for reading. But my mind was sprinting in a different direction every now and then. Hunter's touches were still lingering on my skin, the minty scent of his breath was addicting as hell, and the feel of sparks was making themselves apparent each time the flashes of our previous encounter passed in front of my eyes.I could not focus on the book at all. Sierra too was not helping me, she was busy sneaking into my thoughts and making any comment that'd make me blush.Words could not express how much I loved Hunter. I loved every detail of him if anywhere I wanted to see myself was beside him. But somewhere in the depth, there was this weird feeling that told me that everything that I am watching and experiencing now is temporary. It was all just a dream that'd hurt me more than anything else once it'd break.What could be the reason behind this emotion? It didn't make any sense but what if this s
Knight's P.O.V"Two birds at a stone, I think this phrase is made only for you," My Gamma Rick chuckled as we both watched Hunter and team leave the pack for the rescue of the people of Deadcrest pack.Poor Alpha really thought my real intention was to get the members of Deadcrest under my captive.I couldn't blame him. How would he even know that The knight they were trying to save his pack members from was now residing in the same pack? These games were too advanced for him."What a misfortune! The Alpha doesn't know what treasure I am aiming for," I tsked shaking my head, a small smirk made its way onto my face as I blew out the smoke of the cigar.My eyes slowly drifted to look at Aria who watched her mate leave from the view of the window, tears were brimming in her beautiful doe eyes."What do you plan to do next, Alpha?" He asked, "Take over this pack whilst Hunter's away?" "After all these days, you still couldn't understand Alpha's game," B
AriaI saw as he was leaving for Deadcrest pack with Simon and a few other warriors who accompanied him.Something just did not feel right to me. It was not only about this sudden departure, there was something else my gut was telling me that I couldn't fathom.I believed in Hunter. I knew he was going to be able to save the lives of those people and come back safely. He was capable enough to handle tough crises like this.But why was this weird feeling crawling up my skin? Telling me that there was something I didn't know about.As all these thoughts began creating a jumbled mess inside of my head, I felt someone's eyes on me.My eyes looked everywhere in a rush but there was none. Literally none.Who could be even watching me at this hour? It must be a hallucination.I shook my thoughts away and wiped the tears that had managed to gather in my eyes before I pulled the curtains and walked towards the bed.The feel of Hunter's lips was still lingering on mine from the kiss we shared b
