Aria's POV...When Ella sits quietly and uses her eyes to trail every of my movement rather than say something, I can tell there is something heavy on her mind. She hardly keeps to herself, especially for a talkative like her."Is there something you want to say to me?" I asked, looking through the closet for something nice and simple to wear. I don't want to end up passing the wrong message to Devon.Ella smacked her lips, "I really don't get it. Are you sure you are not being set up? Why would the Alpha's friend want to spend some time with you all of a sudden?"I scoffed, "Here I was, thinking my beauty was what attracted him to me. Do you have to be so logical in your thinking?"She chuckled, "I am not trying to be a party pooper, but if he is really interested in you. I guess we all have to get ready to watch some lengthy juicy drama between him and the Alpha."I raised a curious brow, "why should there be any form of drama? We are just

Kyle's POV...My eyes were red when she walked in, looking as sexy as hell. Different thoughts plagued my mind when I noticed she also had light makeup on. She has never shown up in front of me with makeup. What the hell is she trying to do?""I want to believe you are not deaf. Where the hell are you coming from?" I repeated in the loudest and most intimidating voice I could muster.I saw her hands shake as they held the doorknob before she closed it. Taking a minute, she stared up at me with that blank look that annoyed me so much. "I went out with a friend."I couldn't resist the cackle that escaped my lips. "You? A friend? Who the fuck is this friend that I know nothing about?"She folded her arms underneath her breast, pushing it up a bit. I wonder why that little act has a wild effect on my dick. "I didn't realize I was confined to a prison, and I need to let you know of my every move.""Are you always this stupid? Do you realize anyth

Kyle's POVI hissed at the sight before me. I almost thought she saw me, but it appeared she was distracted from staring at Devon. Satisfaction isn't the exact word to describe just how happy I feel for her fall; serves her right to daydream about another man when she has a mate.Turning away hurriedly, I walked down the hallway to the study. Appears the fall sprained her ankle; I won't be surprised if I see myself heading towards her. It's annoying to see Devon all over her for such a mere fall.I leaned back into the chair the moment I got into the room. I tried to get the thoughts of Aria off my head; she had occupied my entire thoughts since last night. I feel so disappointed in myself for going after her like someone who has lost his mind. To make matters worse, I didn't exactly respond to Barrin's call, which definitely would trigger some confrontation this morning. I have no idea if I am ready to answer to him.There is no way I would have been abl

Aria's POV..."Do you really have to do this?" Raven asked me, her face creased in worry.I shrugged stubbornly, pulling the trousers around my sprained ankle. The pain struck every cord in my body, but I had no intention of giving in to it. I want to believe it's a mere scratch, and I can move on without dwelling on it."You don't have to worry about me, Raven. I will be fine. It doesn't hurt that much." I tried to convince both of us.Raven scoffed, "Do you think I am oblivious to the winces you make? And there are also goosebumps that form on your arms the moment the leg touches the ground. Can you just quit playing headstrong?""This isn't just about the ankle sprain; I can't stay here wallowing in self-pity," I explained. "Which is why we are both here for you. Let us take care of you, is that too much to ask of you?" Ella mused as she walked in with a colourful tray of sumptuous meals."Please tell her." Said Raven. "I hav

Aria's POVMy eyes twitched rapidly; I couldn't seem to get the hang of whatever Cassandra was saying. I took a few steps back. "why should I stay away from him? He is my friend." "Someone like you shouldn't be anything to my son, not a friend or foe. That can't work." "Why?" "Stop asking me!" She yelled in my face. "You make it sound like you are in an actual place to ask me such an absurd question. I have never seen my son act this way before; he practically moans your name in his sleep. This is when he is meant to explore a different part of himself while on break from the pack duties, get a woman of his choice and probably get married. I mean, live his life to the fullest if you don't understand." My eyes bulged out, lost and confused. "What has that got to do with me?""I don't know what you have done to enchant him, but my boy won't be at your mercy. He shouldn't be found with someone like you." "Wh
