62. It's not over yet.Lana stuck closer to Noah, who seemed to have lost his wits. They witnessed Aria giving a kick in Veronica's side of the waist. "Don't you dare mess with me again." She flared her hair in Jake's frozen face not before giving Noah a deathly look.While everyone in the classroom clenched their teeth in agony at the scraped flesh of the Butt of Veronica, Aria dashed out and came to the library. She deposited her bag on the desk and sunk in her favorite chair in the corner of the room away from the entire place. Throwing her head in her hands, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply to bring herself in control.'Well, I won't say I am disappointed since you didn't let me out. I'd say I'm freaking proud of you for teaching that witch a perfect lesson that she deserved.' Melody spoke to her.However, Aria didn't feel what she did was right. She was not the type of person who'd hurt someone against the hurt they cau
63. Goodbye For Good! Jake never felt this intimidated before. And across whom? A girl! He stood consciously under Aria's scrutinizing gaze as he threw sharp and venomous daggers at his friend holding his hand."Let go." Jake said severely."Come on, don't be ridiculous. There's no way you are leaving it whatever that is you have between yourselves unfinished." Neil jumped in their conversation while Aria gaped at them curiously."Stop it." Jake eyed them.Neil refused to listen to him and faced Aria, "He's my best friend and I care for him more than my mate. So Aria, there's something you need to know about him." Jake tried to pull him away. "All this while whenever we bullied you, it was done on Jake's insistence.""What?" Aria's eyes were sharp and assessing."Jake made us do it… so that he could come and be the savior of your life. So you noticed him." He turned to shrug at Jake. "
64. GriefWhen Aria punched that out, Jake never assumed she would abide by her words. Because after that conversation with Jake, she never spared him a look. Ten days down in their lives, and she had still not looked at him. She didn't have any time to look at him provided that she made friends and they kept her entertained. Kai's mate, Daisy, was one of them. She disliked Kai and the gang of his bully friends. She was a feminist and the talks of Kai and his notorious friends led her to maintain distance from him. No matter how much Kai attempted, she found a way to ignore and piss him. When Daisy perceived Aria had problems with the same boys group, she quickly became friends with her. Then there was Patty, a girl from the preceding grade aka their junior. The little nerd was being pestered by the boys of her class when Aria found her. This led to expansion to her friend circle, and now she had three other shy nerds from Patty's grade. Aria did not feel ashamed hanging out with j
65. Aria's First Date!She looked at the closed door and then behind herself at the complete darkness. A feeling of beingstuck, being committed to this moment, pierced through her veins and settled like congealed sludge in her belly.Talk? What talk was he talking about? If he thought she was okay with getting humiliated and then approached again for the same thing she was humiliated for then he was wrong. She wasn't going to get along with this easily. Because Aria was super mad. Even enraged.'At least he's making an effort to talk.' Melody rolled her eyes as she recalled Noah and his selfish ass. That jerk never approached her at all.She shoved that remark away and focused on the handsome face that's coming to annoy her now. His words bit through her heart that day. Aria recalled how much she'd cried that night to the pillow.She's never felt so bad. Yes she was an omega. Yes her status was low in the pack. Yes nothing c
66. Shopping For Her First Date Aria tried on another dress and stepped out of the changing room to stop in front of Daisy, "What do you think?"Bright afternoon light made her dark blue off-shoulder dress shimmer. It was small and ended above her mid thighs. The fitting was perfect... As if it was made exclusively for Aria."Gurlll, I wanna kiss the heck out of your face." Daisy's animated expression heated up her face."Erm, does this suit me?""Suit you? Baby, this color is made for you." Daisy grabbed her shoulders and swirled her around.Aria prayed she must not slip and fall since her feet were adorned with high heeled glossy stilettos with cute shimmery butterflies under her ankles on both sides."Tony will lose his fucking brains right after the first glance. You have no idea how pretty you are looking!" Thankfully Daisy stopped spinning her around. Aria walked towards the wall of the mirror and saw herself. 'Gosh, I would marry you if I could, Aria!' Melody made her laugh a
67. One Night Stand With Tony!!!! "I agree Kai is very bad, but not to the extent that I should be holding him at an arm's length." Daisy said with an apologetic smile as if it was a hard thing she had to do to change her boy. "I let him make love to me so he knows I am still his. And as long as he does not bully innocent people, I let him have me one day out of seven. But when he changes completely, which I think will take a while, then he can have me every night as long as he doesn't impregnate me."Aria forced a smile and pulled the bag of her dress to stare into it to excuse herself for a while. In the last ten days, the pain caused by Jake's harshness was the second reason that made her cry at night. The first reason was the tearing pain in her heart that emancipated from Noah's adultery with her oh-so-lovely girlfriend aka her best friend's sister, Lana. He had had sex with her eight times out of ten days. And the pain sprouted from it was like a fork scraping at her heart i
68. Aria in danger?!! She was cute. Her bond with Kai was so messed up yet so pure. They acted crazy all the time in school. But their chemistry in private was like a goal other couples would love to achieve. Kai was a good mate. He was outdoing himself. "Daisy," Aria called for her with her heart settling down in distress as she thought about her own mate. "What would you have done if Kai was a heartless mate?" "Heartless mate?" Daisy turned back to Aria, the redness of her cheeks gone. "I mean to say.. What would have been between you two if he was selfish?" "Can you elaborate a little more? You know I am a slow learner.""Okay, so what I mean to say is that if your mate was bad to you, always hurt you, never believed you even if the truth was clear in front of him, dated another girl, had sex with her all the time without caring about how you'd feel, and if he never came to your help when you were in need of a rescue... What would you've done then? How would you have dealt wit
69. Preparing for the date The following day arrived and passed by like a ride in a ferris wheel. Too short to do a thing. Aria sighed at the clock and then at her dress that was nearly placed on the bed with her sandals and jewelry she was going to wear with it."Uff, Aria, you're still not ready?" Daisy walked in her room with wide eyes."I've been preparing all day but still..." Aria forwarded her wet painted nails. "I am still not ready.""Well I can see that. It's twenty-five to nine, Aria! You need to hurry." Daisy set her side bag aside and rushed out of Aria's room. She returned with a bowl of water, "Here, dip your nails in the water.""But they're wet!" "I know, silly. This is cold water. It'll help set your polish faster without ruining it. And you don't have to sit under the fan to dry it." Aria didn't protest. She quickly put her hands in the water and bit her lips. It was cold. She can feel the tips of her fingers getting numb. But it was worth it if it saved her tim
