Aria's perspective I stretched my arms when I woke up. My body felt sore as if I had slept for a century. I glanced around the bed, and Neon wasn’t there. He said he was gonna join me in the bed after I had taken my drugs but he wasn’t there, I wasn’t even sure he came back to the room after he left me. I untangled my body from the covers and yawned. My eyes caught the clock on the wall. It was past five. I pushed the curtains on the window aside, and watched the yellow light fading out of the clouds. I took in a deep breath limped out of the room, and decided to get a warm bath. I soaked myself in the bathing tube and played a song on my phone. It was my favorite song by Sza. I moved my head slowly and stayed in the bathroom for a long time. I came out after a couple of minutes with Neon’s robe and a towel on my head. I opened Neon’s drawer to take out a lotion, and my hand to

Silas's perspectiveI stayed a while in Neon’s study after he went for a meeting with the council of Elders. I worked on the pack issues we were having and started arranging his study before he came back. I had to make sure the study room was cleaned, and every book was placed in the right order. I asked the Gemma to leave and go on with his work at the borders, and I was behind at the mansion. I was intentionally waiting to see Aria. Neon said she was asleep before he left and I was waiting for her to wake up so I could check up on her and hold a few conversations. I wonder how she was feeling, and if her wound was healing. I forgot to ask if Neon used his saliva on her because it can also heal wounds, she probably didn’t want to take Neon’s blood. Aria looked scared to be a werewolf and not after what she had seen, and what happened to her. She probably thinks we are all beasts. I r

Neon's perspectiveI got informed of the meeting with the elders and had to leave the house. I didn’t want to leave Aria alone in the house though the guards were there but they weren’t as strong as my Beta or Gemma. The rogue was still on the loose, and he could find his way to the mansion. Aria said he saved her, I couldn’t help but be suspicious about him. He could come back here, and if I wasn’t around I need my Beta to be here to guide my home, and my mate and Diana as well. They are the people I cherish most and I don’t want anything to happen to them. I had a quick shower and dressed up. Aria was still sleeping. I kissed her lightly on her lips. “I love you, mate and I’m sorry.” I went out of the house, shutting the door quietly behind me. I will see her when I get back from the meeting, and I will try not to get back late. I couldn’t stay ho

Neon's perspectiveI didn’t understand what was going on, I wanted to see my mate, Aria. If anything had happened to her, I made my way to the bed after picking up the duffle bag that I dropped. I dropped it on the floor beside the bed. My hand touched her hair and down to her face, she was breathing but her eyes were shut. She wasn’t having any clothes on, they must have stripped off from the dress she wore. I clenched my fist beside me and stared at Silas. “Who made my mate like this? Which of you strip her?” “It wasn’t me!” The guard who was on his knees immediately shouted. I tore my gaze off Silas when he was about to speak. “Who did?” “It was Luna Diana, Alpha. She was the one who took off her dress. We had only carried her into the room. We didn’t do anything else.” He rushed his words. I nodded, trying to understand why Diana would do

Silas' perspectiveThe moment I went down the stairs with Rufus in my hand, we found Diana at the bottom of the stairs. She froze when she saw me, and her jaw dropped to the ground. She took a step down the stairs. Probably she wanted to eavesdrop to know what would become of me since the Alpha had caught on. I pulled Rufus along and met with her. “You will have a word with the Alpha soon. I won’t come for you now, Diana. Give me some time when I have gathered enough evidence, I will make you regret every choice you’ve made.” I whispered to her ears when I was close to her. I saw her fist cleaned, and her face was filled with fear and anger. She said nothing, there was nothing for her to say knowing that she had been caught. I pulled Rufus along, and out of the house. I could feel her eyes behind us, till we were out of the house. I handed Rufus to the prison guard and made sure he was wat
