16. Not your old omega anymore As expected by Aria, Jake never bothered her after that confrontation. He seemed to have gone back to his usual life with hot girls throwing themselves on him. He continued to be a jerk with his friends and enjoyed people getting bullied though he never took part in it.Late night parties with the frat boys and long drives were resumed. The scratch marks on his neck indicating his one night stands were being discussed by the girls around her like normally. He was back to being the bad boy in school. Everything was simply back on the track for him. Nevertheless, in poor Aria's life, things were pretty much the same. She was back to sitting in the back of the class. Being bullied by his friends again, and her working hours in the restaurant grew painfully hectic.Fast forward to the present, which is a month after that encounter with Jake, Aria wiped the sweat from her forehead as she looked around the bustling restaurant. The proprietor of her restaura
17. His enemy>>> Her mate! "Aria, here!" Her body shivered with a frosty chill spilling over her body when she heard Kai, the dearest friend of Jake Ragnar.She sighed with shutting eyes as she couldn't stop herself from meeting the eyes of Jake when Kai called for her. She thought she had gotten over him but the truth was, the crush kept intensifying with every day he went deeper into his old brat life."What would you like to order, sir?" She asked with a fake smile flashing on her face.She tried not to look at Jake Ragnar but the guy was hard to unnotice. He stood out with his friends in a black denim jacket put over a white t-shirt. His nicely done hair and those electrifying eyes made her gulp her saliva.'Okay, Aria, you need to focus. Don't let yourself flutter away.' She told herself before taking a deep breath and asking the brats again for their orders as none of them placed any.They were looking at Jake for some reason unknown to Aria. "Sir, may I know your orders?" She
18. Future alpha VS future beta Her ears stung and eyes dilated awfully wide. Aria focused on what he said as she tried to breathe. But hell, it felt as if her lungs transformed into stone in her chest. She couldn't suck in oxygen and to worsen her condition Noah dragged her to the alley beside the restaurant in the dark. He pinned her to the wall and hissed on her face. "Mate, how could you be my fucking mate!" Aria flicked her lashes as composure returned to her body. She realized where she was and how distastefully Noah eyed her. There was anything but delight in his gaze. He looked dissatisfied and the hold on her wrist turned scorching hot as he closed his fingers around her delicate hand. "You are a mortal." He snuggled her neck and inhaled her scent. No matter what Noah assumed out of her, Aria's chest was a heaving mess. She couldn't breath as a searing feeling settled in her belly. She thought she would not find her mate since she was a human; and the other person mated
19. Torn between the alpha and beta Aria was not really in her senses when Jake dragged her towards his car and ushered her inside. He put the seat belt around her with a muscle ticking at his jaw. Closing the door quite aggressively, he walked to the other side and was about to sit inside when Kai called, "Where the hell are you going, asshole?" Jake didn't answer. He grimacingly watched him approach while the other followed behind. All their faces held a look that was a mixture of confusion and amusement. "Aria?" Kai looked behind Jake in the window to see Aria shivering in the car. He got worried and eyed his friend. He dragged Jake away as the others joined them with a shocked face. Aria didn't look good and the traces of tears said a story they didn't want to believe was true. 'This fucker didn't do something with her, right?' Neil asked on the mindlink to all of them. 'Hope so, but she doesn't look good.' Dilane answered, his eyes scanning through the window for any bruise
20. Who Made You Cry, Mate? Noah's POVI saw her eyes dilating. She froze in her spot and forgot she was supposed to breathe if she wanted to live, but she was too petrified by my appearance to even blink her eyes. I twisted my lips and coughed a little bit in order to pull her out of her frozen state. It didn't help though.She remained there with her face turning pale due to lack of oxygen. Her heartbeat was falling too."Aria!" I don't know what got into me but I clutched her elbow and pulled her near my chest. "Breathe, Aria. Breathe." I said in a chaste tone that came out throaty and heavy.Fuck... I hate to admit, her frozen state had gotten me badly. I can see some sort of feelings in her crystal blue eyes. They screamed and said she wanted to do something with me. Something that had a meaning and that it needed to be discussed.'You're hurting her, Noah. Let go of her arm.' Oliver, my wolf said and I immediately pulled back my arm.She didn't seem to feel the pain or notice t
21. I'll Make Your Life Hell, Mate. Aria's POV As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, I heaved a sigh of relief. Noah's appearance sucked the life out of me. I really thought he was here to hurt me. The looks on his face are rotating across my vision. He made me feel like those cunning she-wolves who cheat on their mates. I am not like that though. But how do I explain this to Noah? Above all, his attempts at making me look bad in my father's eyes warn me to stay away from him. He is heartbroken?! I don't know, but it really felt like he was worried. A hard punch of mockery lodged itself into my stomach. Exactly who am I trying to fool? There is no one who worries for me. I am just someone people like to trouble. There is hardly any chance that Noah would feel anything for me. Worst of all, he thinks I am Jake's girlfriend. He hates Jake. His hatred toward Jake is shifting towards me as well. How am I going to deal with him at school now that he is back! I picked out the t
22. I Hate You Crowd gathered around the two gangs. To think of it, one was the future alpha and the other his beta-to-be. Aria tightened her grip around the straps of her bag as she observed the number of accomplices each of them had. There were Dilane, Kai, Neil, Zack and Oliver supporting Jake. It was an amusing sight to see them all dressed in black. As if they were following a dress code. Upon milky tee shirts they had sexy black color varsity jackets put on. Towards the left hand side, just above their hearts, the initials of their names were engraved in pure white. Their postures were bordered with exasperation. They were impatient and so ready for a physical collision. One wrong move made by the opponent and they would pound on them. It emitted from their eyes that they wanted to get into a physical fight. Every wolf did. There was a famous saying that said, 'A wolf is only regarded as a wolf if he rips a couple of throats and bathes in blood once in his lifetime.' And eve
23. Enemies put together In the ongoing class, Jake drew random patterns on one of the clean papers of his notebook. Aria's words moved like a whirlwind in his mind. He anticipated anything but that statement coming out of her mouth. "Hey! Where are you lost, bro?" Kai was sitting next to him in the class in the very back. These guys had their permanent places in each of their classes-- that is toward the very end of the room just by the wall. Not that the teachers minded it. As long as the gang of these mischievous guys was quiet, they could sit just about anywhere in the classroom. "Nothing, just thinking about Aria." Jake replied on the mind link. Kai gazed in front of the classroom at Noah, who was in the third seat. He was engrossed in the class. This was the only class that Jake and Noah shared together. But thankfully Kai was here as well, and he was relieved after what transpired on the campus. The guys were minding their own businesses rather than picking up on each oth
