Aria POV"I missed you." He said under his breath then he pressed his lips into mine. I flinched because I wasn't expecting that but I let him take control.The alcohol on him filled my nostrils but I ignored the smell and kissed him back. Our tongues fought together for some time until I gave up to him and let him take control. Even when he's drunk, he still wants the upper hand. I smiled in between his lips and he cupped my face, his hands trailed to the lower part of my hair and held it tight. I was too tight and I whined in pain, he softened his grip and pulled away from the kiss."I missed your body." He said under his breath, his face was just inches away and his hot breath was fanning my face. His lips tasted like alcohol and chocolate, and it was wet with my saliva. It glowed under the limited light entering the room. His words sent electricity through my body and a blush crept up my face. I was missing his body too and I wanted him so badly. My wolf was so excited because o

ARIA'S POVI looked behind us and the car that had been chasing us had blocked the entrance. "What do we do now? We are surrounded." I asked, getting a little bit scared. Five men got out of each car and walked towards us. "Stay calm, Luna Aria, I'll protect you but you have to stay inside this car and do exactly as I say." The guard instructed and I nodded in agreement. "Be careful." He said in an authoritative tone as he opened the car door and got off as well. He walked over to my side and stood by the door, waiting for them. He was ready to take them on. As expected, they attacked him but they were armed with weapons and they were able to beat him up. "Stop it!" I shouted. The sight of him in that state was tearing my heart apart as I remembered how my father was killed. I quickly got down and rushed to his side. I knelt and begged for them to let him go. "Please stop it. You'll kill him." His blood was drooling from the bats in her possession. I looked back at the guard

DARIUS POV"You old fool. You think I'll give you such a responsibility?" I was about to slap him when a guard rushed to my side and whispered in my ears. "What!?" I shouted in his face, "What did you just say? Aria did what?" What he said couldn't be true. "I think you should check it for yourself, Alpha Killian." The guard who reported to me suggested it. I followed him to the CCTV room, I had ordered him to go check the security cameras to find out how Aria was kidnapped. He played the footage from three hours ago and it showed Aria calling the two guards into her room and after a while, she left the room with both of them. "Where did they go?" I asked the guard and he played another footage of Aria in the maid's quarters, she talked with the second in command after Stella and after that footage, he played the one of her leaving the castle with both her bodyguards in a car. "How could she do this?" I yelled and slammed my fist on the table. "Bring me the person she met," I o

KILLIAN POV"Do you think I have no dignity whatsoever? You think I'll be frightened by a mere punk who seems to have a little more strength than he shouldn't?" Alpha Matthias said, still proving to be stubborn. I was getting fed up with him. I need her to be safe, I was growing anxious by the minute and it's proving difficult to control myself because of it."I mean, this isn't about dignity, you fool! It's about your life! I'll kill you if you don't spit it out! Where is my Luna!" I yelled."Alright, listen listen, how much is that punk Killian paying you? I can double it." He wanted to strike a deal with me and that left me speechless. I stared at him for a moment, not believing what I was hearing.I scoffed, "You want to bribe me into betraying my Alpha?" I asked, finding it partially amusing."He's your Alpha but not the moon goddess! Come on now, you can switch packs. You can come over here and I'll make sure you get everything you need for a good life in my pack. A house under

DARIUS POV"She wanted to talk with Stella's daughter but unfortunately I don't know why." The guard responded, "But from the look in her eyes, it seemed like it was really important, something she had to do immediately before it was too late." He rushed his words with urgency and he was panting as he spoke. "Something she had to do before it was too late?" I repeated as I echoed it in my head over and over trying to figure out what was driving her to make these decisions. Nothing came up. "Yes, that's what I got from her facial expression. She went as far as to use her position as Luna to leave, she has never done this before." He was right, Aria did try to be humble anyway and seemed very shy when she wanted to request something from the maids, it was one of the things that drew me closer to her and I admired how she wasn't bossy and arrogant like most other girls. But with all the observation I've done on her, it still doesn't help to understand what she was thinking while maki
