Neon's perspective
I 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 hoSilas' perspectiveMy eyes fluttered open after a while, I groaned and felt a hand pulling me. I opened my eyes fully and saw a guard pulling me along to the bed.“Fuck, why is he so heavy!” He grunted and dragged me forward.What was going on?And what was the headache that I felt earlier?I hit his hand off my body, and he jolted forward. I saw the shock on his face when he noticed that I was awake.“Why did you bring me here?”“B-Beta?” He sputtered as if lost for words.“Speak!” I shouted.Why did he bring me into Neon’s bedroom when I was talking with Diana earlier at the bar section?I glanced across the bed quickly. Aria was on the bed with the covers on. I darted my gaze away from her body when I saw that her shoulders were bare.What the fuck happened when I passed out?I stared at the other guard
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
Neon's perspectiveHer eyes snapped to my face, she took a step closer to me. “Neon.” She muttered in shock.“What do you mean I should leave, where would I go? Neon you know I have nowhere to go, this is my only home.”“Then you should have thought about your actions!” I raised my voice at her.“It was just sleeping pills you gave Aria, it could be poison next, and then what, you would kill her!” I was struggling to keep my wolf in check, we had just come from a long day at the meeting and came home to meet this.“Neon, no...” She shook her head as if she was going to justify her actions.“I didn’t know what came over me.”I huffed. “You didn’t know?”“I did.” She replied.“Are you messing with me now? The guards told me you planned this, you carefully made this plan and got the
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
Aria's perspectiveI didn’t know what was going on, and why was Diana missing but I was too tired to get up from the bed, my eyes felt heavy and I needed more nights of sleep.I brought one of the pillows close to my chest and wrapped my hand around it since Neon wasn’t in the room.My stomach grumbles as if I hadn’t eaten a while ago. After a while of tossing around, I eventually fell asleep.When I woke up, I was alone in the bed, and it felt as if something was hanging on my throat. I rushed out of bed into the bathroom and threw up on the toilet. My hand gripped the toilet seat and vomited everything that I ate last night.I flushed it down the toilet and splashed water on my face on the faucet. I washed my mouth as well and came out of the bathroom.“I was about to open the door, are you okay?” Neon was standing there with a towel in his hand.“Did you throw up?”&nbs
Aria's perspective“You are fired.” My boss walked off in a huff after pronouncing my "sentence"."Oh no!" I groaned as my eyes settled on the big box that sat on the edge of the desk.Standing up resignedly, I grabbed the box and tossed it on my chair. With a hand, I swept off everything from my desk into the box and heaved a sigh."Do you need any help clearing all out, Aria?" Sarah's annoyingly chirpy voice buzzed in my ears. "Thanks, but no." I answered listlessly. "You know, I've always been wondering how you got employed in the first place, Aria.” Sensing the mock in her tone, I looked up, only to find Sarah flashing me a pretentious smile while arranging the files on her desk.Before I could even come up with something to snap back at her, the office door was shoved open forcefully.It was my boss again. “I told you to get out of here in ten seconds! Wasn't my orders were clear weren’t they?” He was thunderous “Crystal clear, Sir.” I lifted my box, forcing a smile. “...I’m
NEON's perspectiveMy chest was heavy from my pent-up anger, and the veins on my forehead were visible. My wolf Jax had been restless since the mating ritual started.It had kept us on the edge. Jax was nervous, yet I had no idea what it was about. He was never the one to show any emotions. He was showing emotions that I couldn’t decipher, and it was starting to agitate me.The mating ritual had been going on in the park for some hours now, and I had felt pent-up more than usual. Something about today felt strange.‘It's mate! I have a feeling she’s close. I have never felt this way before. She’s close. Mate is here.’ Jax purred.‘What did you just say? Mate!’How was that possible?I had been looking for my mate for the past ten years, yet got no clue to her.What the fuck was Jax talking about, that mate was here?I was about to sniff the air like a hound dog in the park when my Beta Silas came to me and tapped me over the shoulders.“Alpha, someone just walked into the park. I had
Aria's perspectiveMy breath was heavy as I ran. As I dashed onto another path, I heard them curse loudly behind me.What the hell had I gotten myself into?“Take the Jeep!” I heard the blue-eyed guy order as I tried to run faster.I threw a glance over my shoulders and saw that they were right behind my heel, fuck, they could run!I had no idea why they were chasing me, but they gave me a lot of creeps in the park. There was no way I was going to stop and ask them why the hell they were chasing me.I won’t be able to outrun them on this road. They would catch up with me.The only way I could lose them was in the wood surrounding the road.If I could get there, I would be able to lose them among the trees.I made a left turn and slid down the hill, hastened my pace, and reached the trees without getting caught. My breathing was becoming jagged.I glanced over my shoulders again, my foot caught up in something, causing me to trip and fall head-first to the ground.I groan, lying there
