Aria POV
“Am I dead?”
“Is this how death feels like?”
I was surrounded by complete darkness that I couldn’t tell whether my eyes were open or shut. I was cold and shivering. I could hear a voice far away talking but I couldn’t tell what was being said and I was too tired to even try.
I surrendered to the feeling and let it consume me. My life was worthless and I lost any hope to live. Death would be kind to me now.
Beep … beep … beep
I heard the rhythmic sound growing louder and louder till I finally opened my eyes and saw light flashing directly at my eyes.
“Hello?”
“Can you hear me?”
I closed my eyes again refusing the reality that I was still I alive, but it was useless. The moon goddess still wanted me to suffer.
My throat burned and my voice didn’t come out so I just nodded my head at the person in front of me.
“Where the hell am I?”
I lost conscious with this thought one more time and when I came back I was able to determine that I was in a hospital. A different nurse stood next to me adjusting the monitor when I said: “Water”
She smiled warmly at me and gave me a glass of water before saying: “Hey, how are you feeling?”
I gulped down the cold liquid that felt like heaven running down my throat.
“How long have I been here?”
“You were brought here in the early morning”
“Who brought me?”
“I don’t know. A young man rushed into the ER with you in his arms. You were in a really bad shape but he got you here just in time”
I nodded and furrowed my brows thinking about who that man was. I watched the nurse remove the tubes and the wires connected to me body.
She talked about my injuries and asked about what happened to me but I didn’t answer her back. I just stared at my stomach. I wanted to ask her about my baby but I was scared of the answer. I already knew it but I didn’t want to hear and admit to the reality that my baby was killed by his own father.
The man that I once loved and gave my all killed my baby without even flinching. He disregarded all that we had together and murdered the last hope I had for a family. Without noticing, tears streamed down my cheeks.
I was alone again. I didn’t know how long did I cried for or when did I pass out again but when I woke up again. It was dark outside. I stood up to go to the bathroom when pain shot through my whole body like an electric volt. I fell back on the bed and almost passed out again.
“AHHH” I screamed out loud and gritted my teeth.
I took a few deep breaths before standing up again and slowly walked towards the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn’t recognize myself.
I had bruises all over my face, my back was covered with band aids and I had dried blood on every inch of my body. I washed my face and enjoyed the cold water sensation. Then with a cold towel I tried as much as possible to clean myself.
I opened the door and stepped outside then I saw him. He was there on my bed, staring at me with silver eyes. I froze in my place and my heart skipped a beat.
His stare was intense and piercing. It reached directly into my soul.
“How did you get in here?” I cautiously walked towards the bed and stood in front of him.
I couldn’t resist admiring him. He was still staring at me when I stretched my hand and caressed his shiny black fur. The wolf in front of me stood up on the bed and looked down at me. Startled I stepped back.
Suddenly the door opened and a nurse stepped inside the room. She was scared out of wits when she the wolf on the bed standing tall.
“Is he yours?” she asked me after finally managing to get the wolf on the floor and I went back to bed for her to check my vitals.
“No, I was about to ask you about him”
“Well, when my shift started. I found him here and he just refused to leave no matter what I did. I assumed he was yours and let it be”
I looked at the wolf that was still standing like a guard and staring at the nurse and what she was doing.
“The police are here. They want to talk to you”
I snapped my head at her and then nodded my head with agreement. I knew that was coming sooner or later.
Two officers later came in and asked me tons of questions about what happened to me and who could have done this to me but I didn’t dare say anything about the truth. All I managed to say was that I was coming back from work when I was attacked in the dark alley and I didn’t remember anything afterwards.
After taking my statement, the officers left and I found myself alone in the room. No, no not alone. I had that wolf sitting in the corner staring at me.
I was too tired to care about him right now may be in the morning I would have some energy to check where he came from or who he belonged to.
I kept tossing around in bed, trying to sleep when I suddenly the silver eyes standing right next to me. I gasped loudly for air and then watched the wolf jump on the bed and sit right next to me.
His warmth gradually seeped into my body and directly towards my heart and soul. His peaceful and calm breathing were like a lullaby that allowed me to finally drift to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, the wolf was still there. His mesmerizing silver eyes were staring directly at me. I couldn’t help but feel drawn into them.
“Aria”
Alan and Martha suddenly bursted into the room and came rushing to me, the wolf jumped of the bed and I felt cold without him.
“What happened to you?” Martha hugged me and tears ran down her cheeks.
“I am fine, don’t worry” I tried to assure her but she didn’t buy it.
“Who did that to you? Did you call the police?”
I turned to Alan was furious and said: “It doesn’t matter who did that”
“What do you mean? Aria do you know who did that to you?”
“Alan, please let it go”
“I can’t let it go. You lost your baby because of that person”
At the mention of the baby I couldn’t hold back my tears and I just turned to Martha and started crying again. She hugged me tighter and glared at Alan saying: “Let her be now Alan. She is sick and weak”
Alan’s angry face calmed down instantly: “Fine. Fine we can talk about it later”
Alan and Martha stayed with me and never left my side the whole time I was in the hospital. And so did the wolf that we failed to know anything about it.
After a week I was already used to his presence in my room and I always drifted to sleep with him in my bed. So I decided to take him home with me.
Alan drove me to my apartment and then left with Martha to the check on the dinner. They promised that they will be back with dinner.
I opened the door to my place and didn’t dare to step inside. I stood at the door frozen and scared…
Aria POV I couldn’t enter my apartment. It was haunted. It was haunted with memories of Nick. I could see him everywhere; walking inside, having dinner with me, kissing me, and having sex together. The countless passionate nights that we had together. Without realizing I found myself crying again. My heart thumped erratically inside my chest and I felt like I was about to panic. The wolf stood next to me without moving either. He was waiting for me to enter first. When I didn’t move, he looked up at me and stared at my eyes. His eyes were sharp and direct. I felt myself drown to his pool of silver eyes, like I was swimming inside and instantly calmed down. The feeling was new to me. I took a deep breath and walked inside. The first thing I did was get some water and some food for my wolf. MY WOLF. It felt weird thinking about him like this. I guessed since no one rose to claim, he was mine now. Then I headed towards the bathroom for a long bath. By the time I finished, Alan and
Klaus POV I never thought for one second that I would actually do what I did for a woman. Me. Alpha Klaus. The most ruthless and heartless wolf in the black pack became a pet wolf for a woman. A woman that I knew nothing about, but I was bound to her now by heart, soul and mate. However, Aria wasn’t just any woman, she was my sigma that I have been looking for these past years. She was the mate I yearned for her bond year after year till I almost lost hope to really find her. However the moon goddess had a different opinion and finally blessed me with her. So, I couldn’t leave her. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t even turn my back on her and leave her like this. She was weak and helpless. I stayed with her in the hospital doing nothing but watching her every move. When Alan and Martha came and they all started talking, I started to understand the seriousness of the situation. It was obvious that those old people didn’t know that Aria was a wolf. I immediately mind linked Sa
Klaus POV I couldn’t hold back my anger or my wolf. I was this close to shift and maul his face. Aria jumped out of fear and took a few steps back. She looked at the two of us scared and puzzled. The man squirmed and tried harder to pull his mashed hand free but I only tightened my grasp and he screamed louder and louder. “YOU MOTHER FU …” I tightened my hand more and he couldn’t say it because if he did I would have bit his head off. With trembling lips and shocked eyes Aria’s shaky voice sounded: “What happened?” She didn’t notice that this asshole was about to harass her. But she understood that it had something to do with her. The man looked at her as salvation and tried to say: “He … he …” “SAY IT” The man gulped down with difficulty and said: “I … I” “YOU WHAT?” I roared at him and he stepped back scared. The man’s tears streamed down his cheeks and looked at Aria again before saying: “I’m .. I’m sorry” Once he said it, I let go and he fell down on the ground. He held
Klaus POV I heard the ding of the bell hanging at the door announcing the arrival of a new customer. I didn’t turn and see at the time but when I heard the ticking of the heels on the floor I knew it was a woman. She took her place and then said: “WAITER” The moment I heard her voice, I stiffened and dropped the empty plate that was in my hand. “SHIT, Why is she here?” I thought to myself. Everyone turned and looked at me. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and calmed down. “Is everything okay?” Martha asked warmly. “I am sorry, Martha. I will clean it up right away” “It’s okay, I will do it. You go tend to the new customer” she smiled as she picked up a broom and started cleaning. With heavy steps and boiling anger I walked towards her. Natalie.. The most annoying wolf I had ever known. She has been throwing herself on me ever since I could remember. She has been dreaming of us getting married all those years even when I told her that she wasn’t the one for me. What made it
Klaus POVA BULLETLike a bullet, I saw Aria trigger herself in her wolf form, a beautiful silver wolf, at that man like a bullet fired from a gun.“What the hell?” I furrowed my brows together in confusion. I shifted back and then saw him shift into a wolf and wait for her.It was clear as the moonlight that Aria was driven by rage. She hardly controlled herself. The way she jumped in the air and attacked him was reckless, wrong and stupid.“FUCK, Aria NO” I screamed out loud and teleported back to the street. Just in time to see Aria flying back across the street and falling hard on the ground.I looked at her and she was breathing with difficulty. I was about to run towards her when the other wolf shifted back to his human form and screamed: “WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?”He started to slowly walk towards her with caution. Aria stood up again and growled angrily at him. Her hazelnut eyes gleamed with fire ready to burn whoever in front of her.“Reveal yourself” he shouted again but Aria ig
Klaus POV Nick of the Silver pack, James of the Storm pack and there was that last person that I knew nothing about they all gang raped Aria. However, each for his own and personal reason. I stood in front of the window staring at the night sky and tried to figure out what I should do? Sam reported back an hour ago that James returned back to the pack and we might face a war. James wasn’t stupid, he knew the crime he committed and that I wouldn’t stand on the side silent. What he would be thinking about now was how to get rid of Aria. Within the next hours, he would tell Nick that Aria was still alive and they would plot to kill her and fast. I turned and looked at Aria who was sleeping peacefully, I wanted to know everything about her. What Sam gathered about her wasn’t enough for me. So, I decided to seek more. I walked towards her bed and grabbed her warm hand. I pressed my lips tightly. I was hesitant to do it but I wouldn’t be able to protect her and deal with everything if
Klaus POV The look on her face said it all. Her eyes widened and her face became even paler than before. She held her breath and gulped down hard. “You… How...” She struggled to get the words out and tried to stand up. I shifted back saying: “Calm down. I will tell you everything” “You slept in my bed” she pointed her finger at me and I nodded my head silently. She pressed her lips tightly in anger and stormed towards the door. “Listen to me” I grabbed her arm and she violently pushed me away. I staggered a little shocked at how she was able to do it. I followed her out of the room: “Aria” She ignored me and continued walking. I stood and looked at the ceiling frustrated. I looked at her and she had reached the end of the hallway, I teleported right in front of her. She gasped loudly; I hugged her and teleported back to her apartment. “Aria” I called her name and she looked dazed and confused. I let her go and stepped back. “You can deal with me later but right now, we have a l
Aria POV I looked at him and felt disconnected from reality. Was this a dream? No, it was a nightmare. “What did you just say?” I furrowed my brows He crooked the corner of his lips up and took a step towards me. He towered over me and I started to get angry. “You want to marry me” I gritted my teeth and barely let the words out. He stared into my eyes and I fell into his pool of silver blue eyes. He stepped closer and i felt his breaths on my face: “No” “I want to mark you and claim you too” His words fell like thunder, deafening my ears. I was with Nick for almost two years and he never wanted to mark me. He always said it was too soon. I stared at Klaus, who only knew me for just one month and wanted to mark and claim me as his mate. I knew nothing about him. I didn’t even know which pack he was from. “Maaarrrkk me” my heart thumped inside my chest, My legs gave up and I felt his arms holding me up. I pushed him away and recollected myself: “Stay away” No. I won’t allow a
