Aria's perspective
My breath was heavy as I ran. As I dashed onto another path, I heard them curse loudly behind me.What the hell had I gotten myself into?“Take the Jeep!” I heard the blue-eyed guy order as I tried to run faster.I threw a glance over my shoulders and saw that they were right behind my heel, fuck, they could run!I had no idea why they were chasing me, but they gave me a lot of creeps in the park. There was no way I was going to stop and ask them why the hell they were chasing me.I won’t be able to outrun them on this road. They would catch up with me.The only way I could lose them was in the wood surrounding the road.If I could get there, I would be able to lose them among the trees.I made a left turn and slid down the hill, hastened my pace, and reached the trees without getting caught. My breathing was becoming jagged.I glanced over my shoulders again, my foot caught up in something, causing me to trip and fall head-first to the ground.I groan, lying there without moving my body.I heard their movements stopped and a few pants.The blue-eyed guy stared at me with an amusing grin.The other man behind him gave me a weak smile. I hissed through my teeth and tried to stand on my feet.My ankle hurts.“Are you hurt?” He asked, his eyes flickering with concern. I stared squarely at him with a cock eyebrow.I almost doubted that he was worried about me.“What the do you want?” I snapped angrily at him. He held my gaze steadily with his own, a small smile dancing on his lips. He looked me straight in the eye.“I want you.” His voice is decadent and smooth.My mouth fell open. Then, I clamped it shut again.I was speechless.“Silas, tell Drake to bring the Jeep here. I will take her.”I watched Silas curiously as he drew nearer to me, he was tall and powerful, and his lean face was unremarkable and pleasant. His hair was a rusty shade of brown, and his eyes were somewhere between blue and gray.He walked past me, saying nothing.I tilted my head back to the man before me, stepped away from him, and leaned against the tree that caught me earlier.“Where do you plan to take me?” I asked in a panicked voice.“Somewhere safe. With me.” His voice was tight.I have no plans on going anywhere with him. I didn’t seem to have a choice when his strong arm wrapped around me and lifted my feet from the ground into his arms.I struggled to free my arm and push him but he was too strong for me.My body stiffened at his touch, he was so close now, if I were to look at him his face would be mere inches away from mine.I refused to look at him, what if he kissed me?I know absolutely nothing about this guy!“Look at me.”When I face him again, the look in his eyes completely captivates me.“Let me go.” I fought to get out of his arms, but it only made them tighten around me. He lowered his head, a few inches away from my mouth.My breath felt as if it was stuck in my throat.“If I were you, I wouldn’t do that.” He nuzzled his face in between the crook of my neck and shoulders.I couldn’t help but tremble, I could tell he smirked.“Stay still.” He whispered huskily and brushed his lips against my neck faintly.“Let go of me, your pervert!” I shouted and started to kick and fight him. His grip didn’t falter he only chuckled at me.“Pervert? When we get home, I will let you know how much of a pervert I can be.” I felt his smile against the exposed skin on my neck.I tried to wriggle free but it wasn’t working.“Put me down!”“I won’t.” He said firmly.“You won’t be able to walk if I do. I think you spring your ankle.”“I’m fine.”He didn’t say anything else and was taking me out of the woods still in his arms.The Jeep was parked when we got there, and I was still struggling to get away from him.“I’m going to report you!” I threatened angrily he didn’t seem affected by my threat, his eyes dilated playfully.He took me to the Jeep, placed me down on the back seat, and flopped next to me inside the car.“We would see about that.” He smirked and moved closer to me, he lifted his hands as if he was going to touch me. I placed my hands on my chest glaring at him. He chuckled. “Seatbelt.”Silas entered the car and sat beside the driver who perhaps was Drake, and I was with their master at the backseat.For a moment, none of them said a word, it was cranky and creepy as hell.Suddenly, Silas came down from the car and sat next to me.“What’s happening?”I was suddenly engulfed with fear being next to strangers, and having no idea what they could do to me.“Where are you taking me?” I stared at their stoic faces.“Let me out of there!” I raised my voice.“Quiet.” He said levelly.I ignored him and hit the car window with my fist.“Somebody help!”“I said enough!” He growled and my lips clamped shut immediately, sinking between him and Silas.“Get to it, Silas.” He commanded and a sound rumbled through his chest.My hands trembled when it dawned on me that I had been kidnapped by some strangers.I searched my pocket for my phone but I couldn’t find it, I left it at the park.“Please don’t hurt me.” I clasped my hands together, pleading with them.I realized that there was no way to get help.“I won’t hurt you.” His words didn’t sound true to me.“Then let me go.”“No.” A sly smile curled at the corner of his lips and he pinned me down beside him.I felt a needle pierced into my skin by Silas before I could do anything, he had emptied the contents of the syringe in my arm.My eyes were getting blurry, and my head felt heavy. I blinked rapidly to keep my eyes open but I couldn’t see his face, and as if the sounds around me were becoming distant.His hands left me and he whispered to me, his voice was probably the last time I heard before the darkness took over and my eyes closed.“...I have no choice but to do this, mate.”Aria's perspectiveI squinted my eyes at the bright light. I was lying on a bed, and I felt tired and weak.My head was killing me, my throat was sore. I rubbed my hand on my forehead giving it a little massage.I looked at my surroundings. I was in a room, that was beautifully decorated, large, and well-furnished, the bed was soft and luxurious it was nothing like my bed in Queens.I swallowed fearfully, wondering where I was, I lifted myself from the bed and placed my feet on the ground.My apartment wasn’t as big as this, I wasn’t in my apartment at Queens.Where am I?How did I get here?I stood up from the bed, my legs hurt as I ambled to the window and opened it.A gasp escaped my mouth at the sight of tall trees. I couldn’t see anything else, as if it was in the middle of nowhere.“You are awake...” The calm voice spoke behind me. I jolted from my thoughts and snapped my head towards him.He was the man from last night. I point my index finger at him. “You?”“You brought me her
NEON's perspectiveI felt hurt by her words, how could she reject my love? Can’t she see how patient I am with her? That she’s the only woman I can ever love.But what, would never fall in love with me?I, Alpha Neon of Moonlight Pack have never failed once and never would, not in love or any other aspect.I have been anxious around her and was cautious with my words and what to say to her, whatever I say seems to annoy her or make her angry.I did not know the sedative we gave her would be too much for her.I was reckless and almost hurt mate with my actions. I was worried sick when she was asleep, praying to the moon goddess to forgive my recklessness and save her.When I walked into her room and saw her standing by the window, I felt a rush of adrenaline.She had no idea how intoxicated her scent is when she’s around me, and how Jax is purring in excitement at our closeness.He couldn’t wait to mark her and claim her as ours.If she could reject my love now, what if I told her that
ARIA's perspectiveI watched him leave.When he was gone, I locked the door and hurried to find my shoes. It was placed beside the bed, I put them on.I ran to the window and looked down. It was the second floor, why did he lie that I was on the fourth floor?Did he think that would stop me from escaping?He got to be kidding.If I could get on the roof and slide down and land on my butt, it wouldn’t hurt, right?I just have to give it a try.I need to get home and away from him and these people!I climbed over the window and walked carefully on the roof, then I sat down on the edge of the roof and pushed my hands back.Striking myself to fall on the ground, I did not fall on my butt as I had thought but ended up falling on my stomach and face.Fuck!I winced in pain but forced myself up, peeping quickly if someone had heard me fall and was coming after me.I didn’t see anyone, neither was the front door opened.Maybe they have agreed to let me go, which sane man would build a mansion
NEON's perspective“...who are you?”My chest burned within and my throat was tight as I tried to keep my emotions from erupting, I ground my teeth and ignored her question.‘Bring the silver handcuff.’ I mind-linked Silas.‘On it, Alpha.’ His response came almost immediately.I took the handcuffs from his hands when he came close, he retreated his footsteps.I spun and grabbed her left hand.“What are you doing?” There was a slight panic in her voice when I took her hand. I grazed her wrist with my fingers and handcuffed her hand to the bed.“Making sure this doesn’t happen again.” I let go of her hand when I was done. “Stop struggling with it, you will end up getting hurt.”“Why do you care?” She spat angrily, her icy glare fixed on my face.“Keeping you safe from all harm is my priority. I can’t let you get hurt. That’s all you should know.” I held her gaze, my hands placed on both sides of the bed beside her.“Are you ready to talk to me now? Why did you run away? You should have
NEON's perspectiveI stood up from the bed, marched down to the door, grabbed Diana by her wrist and dragged her out of the room, let the door slam shut behind me.“Neon!”I glowered at Diana, she was wearing a grey pantsuit a lavender silk blouse, and matching heels. Her blonde hair was smoothed into an elegant chignon. I wonder where she was coming from all dressed up.“Come with me, now.” I took in a deep breath to calm my agitation.She was struggling with me to let go of her wrist, surreptitiously, stealing glances through the door of Aria’s room.“Let go, Neon!” She yanked her hand free from my hold and rubbed her wrist while glaring at me.“Come with me. Quietly.” I ordered.“I deserve some respect too, Neon. Don’t you think I deserve to know what’s going on?”“Come with me,” I repeated my words and started to walk down to the study.She stormed her feet on the ground murmured inaudible words, and followed the path down to the study room.“Close the door.”“You are unbelievable
DIANA's perspectiveI have been working hard for the pack and this was how he decides to pay me, after everything that I have done?The crowning ceremony was a couple of days away and he’s going to make her, a human girl his Luna?He was choosing her over me.It’s been just a few days she has been here and Neon has completely forgotten about me.His affection for her grows stronger by the day, how he talks about her and the way he calls her name.I thought he would one day, look at me that way, call me his Luna, and accept me as his chosen mate.But.I was nothing to him, the years we had spent together building and straightening the pack meant nothing to him, all that matters is his mate, a silly human.The leverage I have over her is that she’s human, she could not stand a chance against me who has the blood of a Beta and a strong wolf.My father died while protecting Neon, that was how I was chosen to be his Luna.I have lived with Neon ever since, I know everything about the pack
ARIA's perspectiveThe lady, the one who came to visit me just now, was gorgeous and I loved everything about her, tall with straightened blonde hair she wore a pantsuit and a lavender blouse. She looked confident and young.A few minutes later she came back as she promised.She had talked with the master and brought the keys to the handcuffs along with her.When she said Neon wasn’t as he seems, I believe her, he looked rather mysterious.I had to find out if there was some illegal business going on in the mansion.“You never haven’t told me your name.”“It’s Diana.” She smiled.I wonder how she could smile in such a situation but her smile was beautiful.She took the handcuff off my hand.“There, you are free.” She dropped the handcuffs on the bedside table. “You are not going to run again, are you?”“Not without your help.” I grinned.“Thank you, Diana.”“Good night, Aria. I will see you tomorrow.”I nodded with a smile and watched her leave the room.I was glad that there was some
NEON's perspective“You are mine, I meant what I said.”She scoffed in disbelief, picked up her fork, and started eating, avoiding my gaze.I placed my hand on my jaw and watched her eat, Diana excused herself and left the dining area, she didn’t come back to the dining and I didn’t ask her why she left.“Why do you keep staring at me?” Aria stopped eating and tilted her to the side, staring at me.“You need to eat more Aria.” I urged.“Why does that feel like some order?” She narrowed her gaze at me.“I’m full.” She replied stubbornly.He shook my head at her, she barely ate anything.“You will finish your meal. I want you to add some weight. It seems you haven’t been eating. If you have been eating, you won’t have been at this park with a plate in yo—“She stabbed her fork noisily on her meal with a side glare. Her jaw slightly gritted, I chuckled, and she amuses me.“Ain’t you going to eat?” I asked.She twitched her lips, I dragged her out of the chair made her sit on my lap, and
