27. War for the omega "Aria!" Jake stormed inside the medical room upon the doctor tending her head.A cotton ball was being patted on the inflated gash on the left corner of her forehead. Noah was there beside her, holding her by the shoulders as the doctor cleaned the cut. " Aria, are you alright?" Jake had the very intention to haul Noah out of the medical room and break every freaking bone in his body. But his heart rose in his throat as soon as his gaze found Aria's weak body on one of the beds. She was in a dizzy state. Her lashes barely open. They faltered as she tried to figure who was calling her and a shade of white whipped into her cheeks, making her look pallor that set Jake's heart at fast and unsettling motion. "Aria, can you hear me?" Jake stopped on this side of the bed-- standing right across from Noah.He cast him a glare eclipsed with pure indignation and bent down to replace Noah's hands around her shoulders. He knew this was not his right. He knew he didn't ha
28. Cherish her! When Jake regained his senses, he found himself in a room painted white from the floor to ceiling. It was robbed of Windows. Just plain boring walls with no hint of spot on it. He didn't have to know where he was because he had been a guest into this room three times before as well. The Power Detention Room. Mischievous students like him were often brought here into detention to discipline them. This room was made with such technology that no powers worked here. Hence, no matter how much they forced their bodies, they couldn't shift here. Another downside of the Power detention room was that a pupil was locked in the room for hours until they accepted their mistakes and promised to never break the school rules. Anyway, Jake pressed a hand on his neck to control the stinging pain. He recalled the doctor thanking his assistant, Ms. Nixon, for injecting Jake with depression since he refused to come under control. "That cunning woman, I will not lea-- what the hell,"
29. You're worthless, Aria. The sun was exhausted to the shade of deep orange in the sky when Aria woke up. She was informed by the nurse in the medical room what had transpired with her and how she slept about the whole afternoon tucked in one position on the bed. She was suggested to stay half an hour more since her steps faltered as she placed them on the cold hard floor. But she needed to go home. The twilight sun was casting long shadows on the ground and there was stillness in the air. Her father may not be attentive toward her, but he never liked it when she came home late. That showed that he cared at least about her safety if not as his beloved daughter. 'I won't even get a bus now. The last left twenty minutes earlier and the next one will come after another twenty minutes.' Aria thought to herself as she stared at the empty street across from her. There was no one and the school smelled empty. As much as she liked this stillness, she gripped the straps of her light b
30. Unwanted Visitor Her heart bled. At this point, Aria wanted him to gather her in a hug and shush soothing words in her ear. She wanted one of those fathers we see in the novels, who would not hesitate to split the earth into hundred thousand sections if it brought their bullied daughter her justice. She wanted a father whose one glare would make all the bad guys hold their wet pants and scram away. Too bad that she got a father like him. He was as cold as the glaciers. Sometimes she wondered if she was really his daughter or one he stole from an enemy to get the scores settled with him. "I can't believe you are mine, Aria!" She could not believe it either. She looked down. "I would have done without a child you know. But your mother intended on keeping you. She killed herself for a weak thing like you." His words staggered Aria, still she stood there paralyzed. "The expression that I'm ashamed of you does not sum up my disappointment entirely. And I am kind of glad your
31. Jake, No! Jake closed his eyes with a disbelieving shake of his head. When he realized that Aria skipped school today, he could not resist the urge to come here and meet her. He wanted to see her, talk to her, and give the medicines he exclusively had his family doctor aka the pack's senior doctor write for her after he thoroughly described her head injury. Even the doctor was curious that Jake, the most selfish guy in the pack, was doing something for someone he merely defined as a classmate. Jake didn't know why he was doing this but he just could not stop the urge. Not after he spent the entire night restlessly, waiting for the morning to jump in so he can meet and talk to her. But now this. His fingers closed at his sides as he tried to suppress his rising fury, "Aria, please listen to me." He can hardly remember anyone giving him this kind of treatment. But there was something about this girl that attracted him. Earlier his wolf was against him chasing her. Over the c
32. Aria In Hospital "I genuinely felt something for you, Aria Wright." He constrained her wrists beside her face. Aria's stomach vanished. She didn't feel like she had her lower body with herself. All sorts of fearful thoughts struck her mind and she prayed to the moon goddess to raise her up without acquiring any physical pain. The worst feeling for a girl should be this-- pinned on the bed by the guy she assumed to be perfect and her Mr. Right. Also the one who was her first kiss. Second, too. Aria hated herself for even falling in love with him. He was not worth it. And what he was about to do with her made her abhor herself even more. On the other hand, Jake's teeth hurt from tight gritting. He was forced to do this. She made it happen with her annoying behavior. He loved the acquiescent and shy side of her. It was what he was drawn to. As Jake stared at her, his mouth twisted distastefully. She was not the girl he felt for. "And this is the last thing I wanted you to feel
33. Jake's Gone! Aria was overwhelmed when she found herself on a hospital bed wearing a boring and itchy blue gown. There was a needle attached to the back of her left hand and a few machines beeping beside the bed."Don't wriggle, Aria,." She heard a voice coming from the extreme corner of the ward. "Your movements will cause you pain in the hand." "D-dad," Her father was settled in a couch with his eyes staring coldly at the floor.The memories from her bedroom when her father walked into her room and that she fell slammed into her mind. She felt all sorts of uncomfortability and no matter how serious her father sounded, she sat up straight. Her eyes burned and the heat of terror in her face made the machine beside her beep loudly. Mr. Wright lifted his gaze and then himself. Her blood pressure was escalating. Knowing that his words are not going to help her settle down, he rushed out of the ward and returned with doctor Patrick. "Hey Aria, you are absolutely fine. There is no
34. Don't pretend to be niceFive minutes later doctor Patrick walked out with a bitter look on his face. His eyes indicated his irritation and that Zavier was an ungrateful father, who did not deserve Aria as his daughter. More than that, he was dumbfounded that he never managed to assess the softness in her eyes everytime Jake was mentioned. She was probably in love with him. But her father and his coldness only meant one thing-- A big no to their relationship. Patrick held onto his white coat to prevent himself from punching the hunter in front of him. As long as he's going to be here, Aria will never recover. There was only one way to help her. It was that her father must be prohibited from seeing her as long as she was here. Patrick did just that. "You are not allowed to see Aria unless she's ready to leave here." The senior doctor was prepared for a verbal fight, which never came. Maybe her father knew that it was better if he stayed away from his daughter if he wanted her to
