AriaI could not believe what Daniel’s mother said. She wanted me to be appointed as her Gamma. How could that ever be possible? I was only just promoted to warrior status. Weren’t things moving too fast?“Isn’t it what you wanted, Aria? The sooner you climb ranks, the better for you. You will get closer to Daniel and have more time to seduce him. Being around his mother is a significant advantage and you’d better accept the offer,” Tania advised me and then went silent.“Mum, what are you talking about?” I turned to the sound of Daniel’s voice; he was standing at the entrance and must have heard his mother’s last words.“Aria has been a guardian angel to your brother and me, Daniel. She risked her life twice to save us from being kidnapped. I can’t think of anyone more suitable for the role,” his mother replied relentlessly.“Mum, she can do it without becoming your Gamma. We never had a female Gamma before. And aunt Gloria is your Beta without titles and stuff. Your request seems ab
DanielI left my father’s office in a rush, knowing that if I stayed any longer I would not be able to hold myself back. I would take Aria in my arms and prove myself the biggest liar ever.I didn’t know what had gotten into me to spit those harsh words at her. My father’s decision to appoint Aria as my mother’s Gamma made me feel uncomfortable. That way she would always be around me, messing with my feelings and driving me crazy with lust.I knew it wasn’t Aria’s idea but she should have refused my father’s offer. And now, as I felt her fingers caressing my chest set a fire in my insides, all I wanted was to make her mine right in that room, forgetting about my girlfriend and my responsibilities towards her.And I was going to until I closed my eyes and Lea’s pitiful face when I left her alone in my room came to my mind. I felt guilty and regretful about having sexual thoughts about Aria while Lea waited for me upstairs.Realising that Aria had been trying to seduce me angered me. D
AriaI left the packhouse feeling like a total wreck. Daniel had once again rejected me, using harsh language and insinuating that I was behind his parents’ decision to promote me to female Gamma status, a rank that had never existed.His words had a hidden meaning. Was he implying that I had something to do with the attempts against Andy and his mother? If he did, he was not just a jerk. He was the worst male pri.ck ever.“What the heck, Alicia? Is that your way of having fun? Turning every little step I make to get closer to my mate into a disaster? Do you think you can stop me this way? Let me tell you that the more you put obstacles in my way, the merrier. It will be a sweet victory after I succeed,” I sneered, talking to my predecessor.“I wouldn’t be so confident if I were you. Aria. So far, Daniel hasn’t responded to you the way you hoped. And I bet you will lose in the end, dear. I will be the winner of this bet, mark my words. I am merely giving you a taste of your own medici
AriaI left the dungeon feeling distressed. If Daniel hadn’t appeared, that bastard would have given me Erick’s name and proven my suspicions right. And now he asked Daniel to get me out of there, promising he would tell him everything.Wait! What?“Tania, if Daniel finds out who is behind this, that could ruin our plans. We won’t be able to reveal Lea’s true identity, and she will find a way and get away with it. We can’t let that happen. Not before I gain Daniel’s trust. He is so against me now that whatever I say will be taken as slander of Lea,” I told my wolf. “What do you suggest, Aria? What can we do about it?” Tania asked.“You told me you can’t use all your powers right now. How about you try? I need you to mind-link that scumbag and order him to keep his mouth shut and not tell Daniel who’s behind the attacks. Then force him to give you Erick’s name. Can you do that?” I pleaded with my wolf.“I am not sure, Aria. I will try my best, though,” Tania replied.I knew that for Ta
LeaI never expected things to turn out that way. When we left for the mall, I thought we had settled all the details of Luna Sarah’s abduction. I even left the cafeteria and guided the stupid asses on how to make a move on her.I found the opportunity and took her phone out of her bag when she gave it to me to hold and placed it near my feet. That would make Daniel’s mother return to the parking lot to look for her phone. I created the perfect opportunity for them, and they blew it. They fuck.ing blew it.When Aria came looking for Andy and me, she said she couldn't find Daniel’s mother. That gave me hope that Erick’s men had captured Luna Sarah.Everything led to that conclusion. Luna Sarah’s car was gone, and Alex took us back to the Opal Moon pack. We arrived at the pack, and there was no sign of Luna Sarah’s car.I felt at ease and entered the packhouse, awaiting the news of Luna Sarah’s kidnapping. I walked upstairs to Daniel’s room and lay on the bed, waiting for Daniel to come
Lea I closed my hand into a fist, trying to keep what my uncle gave me out of sight, and quickly put it in my pocket. I tried to restrain myself and act naturally around my uncle and Daniel’s family. They invited him to dinner, and I sat across from him at the table.The sound of a message made me pick up my phone and check.“I will ask them to show me around the pack. You must follow. When we enter the prison, you will come with us. Then you must find a way and put that into their water bowls. Understood?”I dropped the spoon on the table and it clattered on my plate. Everyone looked at me and I lowered my head, apologising.“Lea, is everything all right?” Daniel asked worriedly, touching my hand.“Yeah. I was thinking about something and got carried away,” I replied, half-smiling.I don’t know how I finished dinner without fainting. How bold of my uncle to make such an appearance. And immediately after our failed attempt to kidnap the Luna.My heart raced in my chest and my breathin
AriaI went to my house, knowing I had a lot of explaining to do. Ella and Valeria had witnessed something incredible and they wanted details. Alpha Jackson had asked me to keep the attack against his mate a secret from the rest of the pack. Ella had been my trusted friend though, and I was sure she wasn’t any different in this life. As for Valeria, she ranked as my second best friend and she would keep the secret to herself.“We have the coffee ready and Valeria baked us a cake,” Ella said when I entered the house. It surprised me to see my best friend moving so comfortably around Valeria. She barely knew her.“You are their connection, Aria. That makes things easier for them,” Tania said and I smiled. My wolf was, once again, correct.“So cut to the chase, Aria. What happened today? And don’t tell me nothing happened because I don’t think Alpha Jackson took a hasty decision based on Luna Sarah’s feelings. I won’t buy that excuse.” Ella looked at me, crossing her arms.“Ella, let her
Aria“What are you doing here?” Daniel roared when he saw me enter. Alpha Jackson, who stood beside him, kept silent, watching my interaction with Daniel.“I heard about what happened and wanted to see it for myself. Have you got any idea what led the prisoners to this?” I asked indifferently, skipping the formalities and kneeling beside the dead bodies.I didn’t get a reply and I looked up. Daniel had his back to the cell railings. His eyes were on me, and he had crossed his arms in front of his chest.“Fine!” I thought angrily, “Have it your way,” and turned my attention to the dead, looking for clues that could lead us to the truth.“Their eyes are dilated, and their mouths seem dry, too dry for my liking. When did this happen?” I asked and my father who had just arrived replied.“About an hour ago. Why?”“Well, their temperatures are very high, a sign that they must have taken a drug or something. All the symptoms lead to one thing,” I said, touching the dead man’s hand and feeling
