View MoreRyder's POVThe hallway felt unusually quiet, left for the pounding of my heart as it beat wildly in my chest. The air felt thickened around me and everything seemed to be still, as if the entire house had held it's breath along with me. Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I slowly began to approach Aria's door. Each step that I took echoed softly against the polished floor and the sound seemed to grow louder with each passing moment. I looked up from the ground where my gaze had been fixated and shifted my eyes to Aria's door, the barrier between me and the answers that I sought looming a few rooms ahead of me. After a few more steps, I finally stood in front of the door. I took in a deep breath and exhaled softly as I squeezed my hand into a fist. I raised it up and was about bringing it down to knock on the door when different thoughts began crossing my mind. Should I knock? Why couldn't I just turn and leave everything as it was? Did I really have to follow Otis' words? These
London's POVThe smile that I wore on my face immediately dissipated the moment I stepped out of the meeting room. My mind was troubled and no matter what I did to calm myself down, nothing worked. My plan was to come in and get Aria out but it seemed like the Lycan King's loved for Aria would disrupt the plans I had set out. But one thing that confused me though was Ryder's action towards Aria. I understood that he still had feelings for the stupid she-wolf and I expected their goodbyes to be full of tears. That happened, even though the crying was more on Aria's part. But I still could not understand why Ryder had asked for Aria to stay till dawn. What did he want to do?"Hey, wolf," I called and the guard leading me paused on his steps. He turned to me, a confused look on his face. "Is anything the matter, Alpha London?" he asked and I nodded. "I have to go get my mate," I said to him with a small smile. "She is waiting for me in our carriage outside. I can't spend the night w
Ryder's POVI felt my guts knot and chest tightened as I watched Alpha London pick Aria up from the floor. He turned to go, to take Aria back to his pack. I should be glad that the she-wolf who lied and spat on my face was being taken away but I didn't know why I felt so... angered. I shifted my gaze from the alpha and turned my head to the side. I could not watch him take her away. I could not because... because I still loved her. "Fucking fuck this," I cursed under my breath as I gritted my teeth and clenched my jaws. I made to stand from my throne and head inside when a familiar voice spoke to me. 'Do you really want to ignore this?' my wolf, Otis, said, the sound of his voice resonating through my skull. 'You really are going to let this bastard take Aria?''I do not have any other choice, Otis,' I replied my wolf as I sat back down on my seat. I turned my gaze to Aria who laid still in London's arms and immediately felt my throat go dry. 'You know that what she did isn't somet
Aria's POVMy face squeezed into a frown as I heard what Ryder said. I took a few steps back, the air around me suddenly becoming tighter as his words sank right into me. I felt light headed and the room suddenly seemed to spin around me. What in the moon goddess' name was he fucking saying? "His... his child?" I asked, my tone filled with disbelief as I moved my gaze from Ryder to London. "You... you think that the child inside of me belongs to... to this beast of a wolf?" "I don't think, Aria, I know," Ryder said with a tone that sent chills down my spine, a tone that he had never used on me for a very long time. "Alpha London here traveled from his home to come here to deliver the news to me." He clenched his fist and placed it under his chin. "Although, it angers me so much, I have no other choice but to acknowledge the truth." He paused for a moment before taking a deep breath and then releasing it as a loud sigh. "You will be taken back to Startling pack with Alpha London."
London's POVWhen I saw the expression on Alpha Ryder's face when I told him that Aria's baby was mine, I knew that the geezer still had some feeling for Aria deep down even though he tried covering up. And although it was scary to test the already angered wolf, it brought me satisfaction to see that I was winning. Ryder had now asked his butler to go fetch Aria while I sat down on one of the couches that was closed to his podium. I sank into the seat with a loud sigh and closed my eyes, enjoying the moment that I had molded for myself. "Here you go, sir," I heard someone to my left say. I opened my eyes and turned to my side just to see a maidservant standing beside my seat, a tray with a small glass and a bottle of wine on her hands. "For you, sir." "Thank you," I said with a small smile as I collected the wine bottle and glass from the tray. The maidservant bowed and walked away as I dropped bottle and glass on the table beside me. Leaning back into the plush cushions, I popped
London's POVMy brows furrowed and my jaws clenched as Alpha London's words reached my ears. I felt a surge of emotions within me, anger being the most abundant. I slowly stood from my throne, low growls emanating from my mouth as I steadily walked down the podium. "What did you fucking say, London?" I asked the still Alpha, my voice laced with a dangerous edge. I paused on the last step and maintained eye contact with the wolf as I said, "I would love for you to repeat what you just said."Alpha London's face beamed with a smile, one that only caused the anger within me to whelm up. "Well, your Luna may not have told you, Lycan King, but we both have been in a long relationship way before you came into the picture." My chest tightened as the alphas words hit me. What did he just say? "Why do you think I was angered when you said that you wanted Aria as your Luna, huh?" Alpha London continued, the smile that he had on now slowly fading into an angry frown. "You think I just didn't
Ryder's POVMy fingers curled around the alpha staff in my left hand while my other hand held tight the armrest of my throne as my gaze relaxed on the door in front of me.. The elder seats were empty and John and Desiree stood at my sides - with John at the left and Desires at the right. "Where is the son of a bastard?" I muttered more to myself than to either of them as my grip on my alpha staff tightened. "I have already sent word to the guards at the front gate to let him in," John replied, his voice steady and calm. "They should be bringing him in soon.""Well, they better," I muttered, a small growl escaping my lips as I adjusted myself on my seat. As I sat there, my eyes fixed on the door, I couldn't help but think about a certain person that I had locked away in her room. Ever since my encounter with Desiree, Aria had never left my mind and I couldn't tell why. I felt... perturbed that she had suddenly filled my thoughts and the want to know about her well-being filled me -
Ryder's POVA small metal clatter reached my ears and it stirred me up from my sleep. I made to open my eyes and stand but then a hand from the other side of my bed crossed landed softly on my bare chest, pushing me gently back onto my bed. "Aria," I whispered under my breath, a small smile falling on my face as I gently grabbed the hand on my chest. As I softly rubbed the a, a certain thought crossed my mind. Wasn't Aria supposed to be locked in her room? I shot my eyes open and brought my eyes to my chest. I wasn't dreaming - hand really was on me. But whose hand was it? I turned to the side, my eyes widening and a scream almost escaping my mouth as I saw who laid beside me. "Desiree?!" I shouted as I flung her hands from my chest. The sleep she was in seemed to be really deep as this action only caused her to adjust herself on the bed. I quickly took off the duvet that was over me and made to climb down from my bed to reassess the situation that I had found myself in when I s
London's POVI looked outside the window of our carriage, my eyes counting the trees as I adjusted myself on my seat. I felt on edge and anticipation filled my being. We had already been riding for more than three hours now. When were we going to get there? "If I had known, we would have taken the car," I mumbled to Elsa as I turned to face her. I made to continue talking but then paused after seeing that her face was turned to the window. I stayed still, watching as she stared at the passing scenery with a distant look in her eyes. It was obvious that she was lost in thoughts as her eyes reflected the changing landscape outside. My eyes traveled down her neck to the top of her breasts that had stuck out of her tight dress and I watched as they moved up and down while she breathes. I was moved to touch them but then stopped after sighting a small stain on her neck. A small bruise had appeared on Elsa's neck as a result of the altercation that we not too long ago. I sighted it when
