Aaron's POVI opened my eyes and immediately searched for Natalia and I saw her sitting on the couch in front of the bed. She was watching me with a smile on her face.I frowned, trying to make sense of the difference in my body. I felt so relaxed and well rested, something that I had not felt in a very long time. My brain was slowly booting, and it took me a moment to realize that I had slept. I had fucking slept without my pills, and for the first time in eighteen years, my mind shut down.I then stared at my mate who was watching me. This would not had been possible without her, and I wondered if she had any idea what she had done, how much it meant to me?"Good afternoon, sleepy Alpha. You might have been forced to resign if you sleep in the pack house like this."I didn't register the rest of what she said, I just heard that it was already past noon. Not only did I sleep, I also slept for long. No wonder my body was feeling a lot more rested."What time is it?" I asked."A little
Natalia's POVI was excited as I waited for Landon to choose his Luna. This was not a very common ceremony, and I felt glad that I was here to see it happen. I didn't know why they chose to go traditional, but I was all for it.That was until I felt his touch. Landon touched me, choosing me as his Luna. The air thickened around me, as I felt Aaron's strong aura come out in waves."She's mine!" He growled, taking Landon's hand and roughly removing it from me.What the fuck was happening? Courtney looked like she was going to say something to me, but the man she came with dragged her out of there.I quickly collected my scattered thoughts together and I went to stand in front of Aaron. From his look, I knew that he was more than ready to break Landon's hand. I didn't want him to cause a scene and ruin his name."Aaron please, look at me. Please let's go. Let's just go."Every eyes turned to us, and there were murmurs everywhere. I felt a kind of embarrassment that I wanted the ground to
Aaron's POVFor the second time, I was able to sleep soundly without my pills. It still felt so unreal to me. How could so many years of sleeplessness end just like that? So all I needed all these while was the presence of my precious little mate? If only she understood what she had done for me, and how much I appreciated her. Fuck! Why didn't I make her mine all those years? Anyway, she was still a minor.I woke up before her, and I smiled when I saw her sleeping soundly and snoring softly. I planned to tease her when she woke up. I stayed there for a while, staring at her. She was too cute, and I could not get enough.I eventually forced myself to get up from the bed and go to the kitchen. I planned to make her breakfast. Then I will gather the elders and let them know of my plans to make her Luna.I ignored everyone that looked at me like I had grown a second head, and those that offered to take over from me. I wanted to make it myself and see her reaction. I bet she would look ador
Kenneth's POVI came to Natalia hours later. She just woke up, and she looked so disoriented. She was almost naked as I had torn most part of her clothes. I had untied her hands from the ceiling, but I tied them to her back this time. Her wounded face was swollen, but it was slowly beginning to heal. I would just tear it again anyway.It took her a while before she finally realized where she was, and she flinched back in fear. I didn't need to look too much to know that she was in severe pain. She was stronger than I expected though. Considering the fact that she had not eaten for two days and the force with which I hit her, it did take a lot of time before she passed out. My belt even cut from my force.I grabbed her face and forced her to look at me, and she winced at the pain, fear in her eyes. I smiled smugly, seeing her that way. She was exactly where I wanted her to be. Useless and broken. I then left her face and just crouched in front of her."Update from the pack. Your Alpha i
Aaron's POVI was losing my mind, I was drowning in guilt. It had been five days since Natalia was taken, and we were still yet to find her. I knew she was alive, because she was a member of my pack and my mate. I could still feel her, but I knew she was not very close.I had done my very best, searched for her relentlessly, yet... I felt like someone was trying to make my efforts useless on purpose, and it would be a person that talks to me frequently. Maybe Luca or Kenneth could be responsible. I knew that Luca was good with her, and she liked him as well, but I was not going to rule out any possibility.The both of them had been up and about, busy helping to find Natalia, so I was going to send someone to secretly follow and spy on them. I secretly placed cameras all over the pack house and even outside, so I could monitor the omegas.I then stood up and went to the dungeon. I had managed to find the man known as Viktor, the one that Anthony told me was responsible for attacking Na
Natalia's POVI found myself standing in the middle of someone's living room, my hands at my back like Kenneth instructed me to, while he sat down. From the look of it, I knew that it was a pack house. This bastard really decided to give me to an Alpha.I waited for a while for the Alpha to come, and when he finally did, my eyes went wide to see who he was."Alpha Caspian?" My stomach churned as he shot me a grin, showing his missing tooth.Kenneth then stood up and went to greet the Alpha. The men greeted each other and talked about me as though I was not there, and it infuriated me to no end. What use was my gift if it would refuse to show up when I needed it? I wished to just blow the both of them up.At long last, the man came to me, circling me as though I was an object to be bought, and he needed me to be in good condition. He then walked to my front and placed his hand under my chin, lifting my face up to meet his. I fought the urge to slap his hand away."You don't look too we
Aaron's POVI was alone in my office watching the videos I had gathered from the cameras I placed around the house. I could not explain how miserable I was feeling, not being able to find my mate. It was even worse now that I knew that she was hurt. My heart squeezed as I remembered her blood on the belt I found on that house. Whoever did that to her purposely masked his scent.I continued to watch the vidoes, almost giving up as there was nothing there. It was mostly just omegas going about their daily duties. Just as I was about to give up, I saw something interesting. It was an omega going to the gym. I wasn't too sure, but I believed that Natalia told me that her name is Cressida, and she used to be close to her.Her being in the gym wasn't suspicious, because it was free for everyone to use. The only odd thing was her body language, she seemed to be afraid. She was definitely doing something wrong.She scanned the area with her eyes, trying to be discreet, but she was too uneasy
Natalia's POVToday is the seventh day since I was taken away from my pack, and I had not left this room. It frustrated me to no end. The door only opened when April came to give me food, or when the Alpha came to torment me, telling me how much he could not wait to get me in his bed. I hated the way he looked at me, like he just could not wait to lay his hands on me.I imagined breaking the door. I was a wolf, and I knew that I could do it if I put my mind to it, but there were two hefty guards waiting outside, ready to catch me. Even if they were not there, the noise would draw attention, and they would catch me anyway.I stood in front of the window, watching nothing in particular. The surrounding was beautiful, and there were different beautiful gardens around. There was even a small water fountain, and some eye catching statues. I could tell that the man was very rich, but nothing was enough to catch my attention. I only wanted to go back to my mate. I missed him terribly, and I
