Chapter 4
Aria's POV
“Stay here, I'll check it out. It's probably nothing, we have security everywhere—”
A loud howl interrupted his words, and I screamed in horror as fear gripped me so hard that I thought I'd die. They found me. They followed me here and found me again. This couldn't be happening again.
Elias's eyes widened, but to my surprise, he didn't look surprised or scared, just alert.
“Stay here—”
“I can't! They'll find me and kill me!”
“I said stay here. I won't let anyone hurt you or come near you.” He replied with a confidence that made my heart feel at ease for some reason but I couldn't trust him. I've seen what these creatures did, and I knew he was no match for them. I mean, they literally got through his security.
“Where are you going?” I asked in horror as he moved toward the door and he turned to look at me with a nonchalant smile.
“To protect my mate.” He replied and before I could blink, he was gone. What mate? What the hell was he talking about?
Another loud, piercing howl echoed across the building and I curled into myself in fear. I had nowhere to run to this time. Worse, I just put Elias's life in danger and he might die because of me. There was no way I would let that happen.
Since they wanted me, they should take me instead.
Without thinking, I pulled down my skirt and ran out the door, wanting to save the one man who had been good to me since I showed up here.
However, the moment I ran down the stairs, what I saw had my jaw dropping in shock as I witnessed something I only thought I would see in my dreams. Elias was standing in the midst of these strange creatures and the next second, he was… changing.
I stumbled backward and fell on my butt but I barely registered the pain. My eyes were glued on Elias who had somehow changed from his human form to… to one of those strange creatures. Except he wasn't ugly-looking. His fur was white, fluffy even, and he looked like those breathtaking wolves I used to watch in movies.
But none of that mattered. My boss, the one I've always wanted so desperately, wasn't human. He was one of them. It made no sense.
I screamed so loud that I was sure I burst a blood vessel on my face. I couldn't believe I was living in the same house with someone like him, I even— I let him touch me!
Their eyes turned to me at once as soon as I screamed. His eyes met mine and I don't know if I saw an apology or guilt swirling in them. One of the creatures charged at me but Elias was faster, pulling it back and tearing it apart. I screamed again as I watched Elias tear them apart with an inhumanely impossible strength.
Then there was silence. He killed them all. His white fur was dripping with blood that was definitely not his, as he heaved and finally turned to look at me. Oh shit, he was definitely going to kill me too.
He walked closer to me, every step he took shaking the house and I scrambled backward in fear, crying and praying he wouldn't hurt me.
“Please… don't hurt me.” I pleaded as I backed up to the wall with my eyes closed. When nothing happened, I opened my eyes to see him kneel beside me, now back to his human form, and f*cking hell, he was naked.
His d*ck was definitely bigger than I imagined and I wanted to know what it would be like if it was inside me—
He's an animal, Aria, get it together!
“I'm not going to hurt you, pretty one.” He muttered softly as his fingers brushed my cheeks gently and instead of pulling away, I found myself leaning closer. What was he doing to me?
“I-I don't trust you… I mean, you're just like them! They've chased me all my life, haunted me, and made me look like I was crazy. A-and you're one of them—”
“I'm not like them. Those are rogues.”
“What?”
“Rogues. They're werewolves who cannot switch back to their human form because they were punished for a crime they committed. I am an alpha.” He explained and my head spun for a moment as I held up my hand for him to stop.
I knew werewolves existed. I had been doing my research ever since I first saw them. I just didn't believe that it was possible for alphas to actually exist.
“You mean there are other werewolves like you that can switch between their animal and human form?” I asked and he raised a brow in amusement.
“Well, if you put it like that, yes.” He replied and I let out a scoff of disbelief. My eyes kept drifting to his cock, which was a huge distraction, and he finally caught me, a lazy smirk forming on his lips.
“Like what you see?” He asked and my face burned instantly as I looked away, clearing my throat. “You don't have to be shy about it. You want it. You want me.”
“Well, yeah, I did. Before I realized you were an animal!” I blurted out before realizing what I just said. Fuck. “I'm sorry—”
“If you think, we're all animals anyway, so no offense taken.” He replied and I let out a sigh of relief. “But let me show you how animalistic I can be.” He added and lifted me off the ground, causing me to yelp in shock.
Dead “rogues” lay on the floor in the sitting room, but all I could think of was how badly I wanted this “animal” to be in me. I was supposed to be scared of him but something kept pulling me to him. Like a damn bond.
“What are you gonna do to me?” I asked and he placed me on the bed before hovering over me with a smirk.
“I'm gonna mark you and make you mine.”
Chapter 5
Aria's POV
Why did the sound of him marking me sound so hot? Why would I even want to be marked by a werewolf? I know for a fact that I'm human. And from my previous discoveries, wolves never mated with humans. Except on rare occasions which gave birth to a hybrid.
And I remembered him saying something like “protecting his mate” earlier, which meant he was referring to me. I was his mate? I had a lot of questions. But with my lips wrapped around his c*ck and sucking on it like it was the most delicious thing in the world, I couldn't think of answers right now.
“F*ck yeah.” He groaned, his hand grabbing my hair gently as I bobbed my head up and down his c*ck. “You're doing such a good job, pretty one. You take me so damn good.”
My jaw ached but I couldn't stop. I wanted this. I wanted more. My p*ssy was dripping so much that I could feel my juices running down my legs. His groans and moans turned me on so much that I wanted to please him more, to hear him praise me more.
“Oh f*ck, yes, play with my balls like that. Feel how heavy it is for you? You want me to shoot it all down your throat?” He questioned with a grunt, his voice so ridiculously s*xy that I moaned in response as he pushed my hair away from my face.
The tip of his c*ck hit the back of my throat and he thrusted into me on impulse, sucking in a sharp breath as his grip on my hair tightened.
“I'm gonna cum— look at me while I cum inside your mouth.” He ordered and I looked up at him as he thrusted into my mouth continuously till he finally came with a loud grunt.
I choked but swallowed it all anyway, I couldn't let good cum go to waste.
“You're such a good girl.” He praised me with a satisfied grin as he made me get up while I stretched my jaw. “Lay on the bed, I'm gonna f*ck you till the only name you remember, is mine.”
“Are you sure it's okay,” I started as I climbed onto the bed and took my shirt off. “For a werewolf and a human to like, you know, f*ck? Don't you have a mate you're bound to for the rest of your life? Like your dead wife?” I asked, rubbing my n*pples softly and he licked his lips in anticipation.
“I'll answer all your questions while I f*ck you, I'm too impatient. I've waited so long for this.” He growled as he latched his mouth onto my nipple and I whimpered, arching my back to give him more access.
I moaned softly as his free hand caressed my other nipple, tugging and pinching it slightly.
“E-elias—”
“You want me to punish you?” He questioned as he pulled back slightly but not before biting my n*pples harshly.
“F-fuck, I'm sorry Daddy.” I pleaded, realizing my mistake and he moved his lips down my stomach, kissing and leaving bite marks here and there as if claiming me as his property.
His finger moved up and down my p*ssy lips and even I could hear how soaked I was.
“Seems like you're all ready for me.” He whispered as he grabbed my legs and placed them on his shoulder, causing me to yelp softly. He placed soft kisses on my legs before aligning his c*ck against my h∅le and I sucked in a sharp breath
“This might hurt a little bit.” He said with an apologetic grin as he pushed the tip inside my p*ssy, and I gripped the sheets so hard, I feared they would rip.
Hurt a little bit? I felt like I was being torn apart. As expected from a fucking animal! Gosh, I didn't mean that as an offence anyway, I'm glad he couldn't hear my thoughts.
He pushed in deeper, and I cried out in pain, but I didn't move to stop him. As strong as the pain was, I wanted him buried deep in me. Till my p*ssy swallowed all of him. I feel like he would have the ability to shift a few organs in me with his glorious c"ck.
The moment his balls finally hit my ass, he leaned closer to me, kissing the tears that rolled down my cheeks away.
“You wanna wait for a moment—”
“No, please move… daddy,” I begged. The pain was nothing compared to the torment of waiting to be f*cked. So he moved. Slowly at first until my walls started to relax around him and the pain started to fade away. And then the pleasure started to build.
“Oh gods, yes. F-faster, p-please.” I begged with my legs suspended on his shoulders, his hands gripping my waist so tightly as he pounded into me in an insane rhythm that had me seeing stars.
“F*ck- pretty one, you're so damn tight. You take me so f*cking well, my good slut.” He groaned, thrusting into me so hard that the sounds of our skin slapping against each other produced such squirting sounds that turned me on even more.
F*ck, I was living the life of my dreams.
“You wanna see how well your hole takes me? Huh? You wanna see how wet and messy this union is?” He asked with a growl as his thrusts grew faster with every passing second and I found myself nodding instantly.
He suddenly dropped my legs and pulled me so that I was sitting right on his legs, straddling him while he sat straight.
“Look down.” He ordered as he started to move my hips up and down, and oh, the creamy sight sent me tipping off the peak, and my walls tightened around him at once. With a loud cry of his name, I came so hard that my vision darkened.
The moment I slumped to his shirt, I felt sharp fangs sink into my throat and I cried out in pain before my world spun and I passed out.
Chapter 6
Aria's POV
My eyes opened slowly, and I blinked in confusion, trying to remember what had happened. I turned and saw that I was lying in my bed, the room was empty except for me, and I frowned even more.
I remembered Elias fucking me the life out of me and I came so hard and then… something sank into my name. Like fangs.
“Oh my goodness.” I scurried out of bed and tripped the moment my feet came in contact with the ground. Yep, Elias was a fucking monster in bed. I dragged myself out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, pushing my hair from the side of my neck to reveal—
“No way.”
There was a bite mark on my neck. Elias had bitten me. Marked me. He had just made me his own. I hissed as my fingers came in contact with the mark on my neck. It burned in a weirdly satisfying manner. What if this mark turned me into a werewolf, too, just like vampires?
I felt something stir inside of me and I frowned slightly. What was this uncomfortable feeling?
“Aria?” I heard Elias's voice from outside and I limped back to the room to see him staring at me with worry. “Are you okay? Does it hurt?”
“Yeah, it hurts!” I spat in annoyance and he rubbed the back of his neck nervously as I made my way back to the bed. “You're a freaking beast!” I yelled, throwing a pillow at him and he caught it with a grin as he took a seat beside me.
“You told me to go faster.”
“Well— because you fucked me so good. Is it insane that I want to ride you again?” I asked truthfully and his eyes widened in surprise.
“It's not insane. But first, I marked you. Are you okay with that?” He suddenly asked and I rolled my eyes in feigned annoyance, crossing my arms over my chest. “That's not all.” He added with a serious expression and my heart spiked for a second.
“There's something you should know.” He said and I nodded, gesturing for him to go on. “Do you know why you've always been chased by the rogues? There's something they want from you, because you're not a normal human, Aria.” He muttered and a beat of silence passed before I burst into laughter.
“Oh, please. Now's the time to say ‘sike, I was kidding’.” I laughed, holding my stomach but when his expression remained serious, my smile faded. “You're serious?”
“I won't joke about something so serious, Aria. The rogues can't change into their human form anymore but there's a remedy. A cure to make them permanently human. A hybrid’s blood. Your blood.” He explained and I stayed silent, trying to wrap my head around what he was saying.
“I'm sorry, you're saying that the rogues have been after me because I'm a hybrid and they want my blood to turn human?”
“Exactly. The blood of a hybrid, your blood, is the most powerful and purest kind of blood. It can cure anything. But at a cost. You cannot give out your blood and live. They will suck you of every single blood in your body till you're dead.”
He was serious. He was dead serious.
“I'm— I mean— don't you think this is ridiculous? I'm human. Not some kind of hybrid. I was raised in an orphanage, and I have no idea who my parents were because they died in a car accident. You're spitting bullshit. Absolute bullshit!” I yelled in frustration, grabbing my hair as I tried to make sense of his words.
“Your parents died because the rogues and others were after you. They died protecting you. Your mother was a human, your father was a werewolf. You were the product of their union. That was why they placed you in the human world, hoping you would be safe there.” He explained and I froze, staring at him in confusion.
“How do you know these things about me?” I asked and he ran a hand through his hair before pacing around.
“Your father was a member of our pack, he used to be—”
“You mean a pack of werewolves?” I interrupted him in confusion and he nodded.
“Yes. He was the second in command to the alpha, my father. He fell in love with your mother and they had you in secret. When my father found out, he wanted your blood to cure my mother's disease. Your parents ran with you to the human world but my father had his people follow them.” He paused for a moment while I just stared at him in shock. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
“I couldn't let them kill you, right from when you were born, I knew you were special. So I took you. Your parents died in an accident orchestrated by my father while I hid you in the orphanage. My father banished me from the pack when he found out I helped in your escape. I tried to protect you from afar for a long time. But your scent, it gave you away every time and the rogues would always find you. When I realized that I couldn't protect you from afar anymore, I made sure you came here, under my protection to watch over you.” He finally stopped talking, and I opened my mouth to say something, but I could barely bring myself to speak.
“So you're saying, your father killed my parents and is out to kill me too for your mother's disease?”
“They're both dead now.” He clarified and I could see the hurt flash in his eyes as he spoke. “Three years ago. You know the picture in the sitting room, that's my mother. A picture of her in her prime. She was too innocent for this world.”
Oh. I actually thought that was his wife. What a great misunderstanding.
“Why then did you say she was your wife?”
“Because I tried not to notice you. I didn't want to betray your father, I promised to protect you. Not groom you. But you're so damn irresistible and I just couldn't hold myself back anymore.” He explained and I let out a loud sigh.
“Then will you claim me again? In your wolf form, I mean.” I muttered and he glanced at me with wide eyes, his brows furrowed in shock.
Chapter 7
Elias's POV
“Y-you want me to mark you? Again?” I asked in surprise and she nodded, moving her hair from her neck while I stared at her with wide eyes.
“I feel…” She stopped for a moment like she was thinking. “...like it has to be done. I feel that you need to do it right now. I don't know why, I just know you need to.” She replied, inching closer to me and I stared at her for a moment.
“Are you sure? You promise you won't be scared?”
“Are you going to hurt me?”
“No?”
“Then do it. I'll close my eyes if I get scared.”
I let out a sigh and took a step backward as she closed her eyes. Then with a growl, I shifted, my bones snapping as they elongated and my body changing from human skin to fur. She was way smaller than me right now; I was about two times her size.
“Are you done?” She asked and opened her eyes just a little to look at me. Her eyes widened with awe and fear at the same time as she reached out and stroked my fur, earning a soft purr from my wolf.
“You're so soft…” She muttered as she stepped closer and I crouched slightly so she could make eye contact with me. “Your eyes are so scary… but quite enchanting. I should be scared but I'm not…” Her voice trailed off as she leaned in closer and placed a soft kiss on my nose, causing me to freeze.
Goddess, she was something else. I knew I was right to save her and look after her. I had known she was my mate after she turned eighteen in the orphanage, and I would have claimed her right then if she hadn't had to move because of those damn rogues.
Now she was finally mine. And I wouldn't share her with anyone.
“I have a question. What's in the east wing that you never wanted me to see?” She asked, tracing her finger on my furry arm and I grinned, causing her to step backward in fear.
“You'll see. I'll show you later.”
“Alright. Do it. Make me yours.” She whispered and I hesitated for a moment before inching closer as I sniffed her neck. She smelled like summer and lavender, that scent that pulled me in like a damn wormhole.
My fangs elongated and she closed her eyes to brace herself from the pain before sinking them into her neck. She let out a piercing scream as the bond ignited once again, burning through me like a wildfire and I pulled away immediately. I was scared I would get addicted to her blood and end up sucking her dry.
I would not be able to handle that.
Suddenly, she staggered backward as sounds of bones snapping echoed across the room and she cried out in pain.
“What's happening?” She cried out and my eyes widened when I realized what was happening to her. No wonder she felt the urge to be mated to me completely. Her dormant wolf wanted to wake up.
“You're shifting.” My wolf growled and she screamed as she threw herself against the wall as if trying to stop it from happening.
“Make it stop! It hurts!” She yelled and just as I took a step forward, she shifted completely, a loud howl echoing from her while I just watched in awe.
She was a silver wolf. Perfect for a hybrid. Goddess, even in her wolf form, she was more beautiful than anything I've ever seen.
My wolf howled along with her, and I wondered if the surrounding neighbours would suspect something suspicious was going on in here.
She stared at me for a while, huffing and puffing, and then she collapsed. I caught her as soon as she fell, shifting back to her human form. I shifted immediately as well before laying her on the bed, watching as she slept peacefully.
A loud knock pulled me away from her, and I draped my clothes back on before walking out to know who the unexpected visitor was. The moment I opened the door, my eyes widened to see my oldest friend, my former beta, Lucian standing in front of me.
“Lucian?”
“I have no time for pleasantries, Elias. You're in trouble. Word has reached the pack. They know you have the girl. They'll be after you in no time. You have to leave with her as soon as possible.” He explained hurriedly and my heart sank.
“But what do they need her for? My parents are dead already!” I replied in frustration and he let out a sigh, running a hand through his hair.
“According to them, you're both the reason they died. So you're a traitor and she's a curse. You have to leave before they find both of you. They won't spare either of you if you get caught.” He said and turned to leave but I stopped him.
“Come with me. You're the only person I can trust to protect her even if I ever get caught. Besides, they haven't been exactly good to you, have they?” I suggested quickly, and he looked like he was considering my offer for a second, but then shook his head.
“I can't—”
“Please, Lucien. For your freedom and my safety. For our friendship?” I pleaded and he finally let out a sigh and nodded in defeat.
“Fine. But only because I care about you and I don't want to see you dead.” He replied and I shook hands with him in excitement as we both rushed upstairs. I picked Aria up in my arms, and together, we rushed to the east wing, our only safe haven. The moment I swung the door open and switched on the lights, I froze at the sight in front of me.
This couldn't be.
Lucian suddenly hit me so hard from behind, and I fell to my knees while still holding Aria.
“Lucian, how could you do this?”
Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Elias's POV
“Get the girl,” Lucian commanded, and I realized that the east wing, which I had built specifically for the mating ceremony of Aria and me, was now surrounded by guards from the palace. All here to take Aria away.
Lucian tricked me.
“I won't let you take her from me. She's my mate. You want her, you'd have to kill me first.” I muttered, holding Aria's unconscious body tightly against my chest and Lucian scoffed in amusement.
“How romantic. Too bad no one cares. You would die anyway so I would gladly fulfill your wish.” He replied with a smirk and I stared at him in shock, no longer recognizing the man I called my best friend.
“Why would you do this, Lucian? I trusted you.”
“Well, I trusted you too. I trusted you to do the damn right thing. You could have saved the Alpha and Luna, your damn parents! But you chose to save an outsider. A hybrid. All for what? What makes her so special? You jeopardized the pack the moment you ran with her!” He yelled and I couldn't believe my ears.
“What happened to fighting for what was right? She was just a child. An innocent one. She didn't ask to be a hybrid. She didn't ask to be special. You wanted to sacrifice a child's life for my parents who had already lived their lives? What is wrong with you?” I asked in sheer shock but he obviously didn't care about anything I had to say.
“You betrayed the pack. And you will pay for it. You will be executed in front of the people but not before you get to watch your precious little curse burn in front of you.” He spat and my heart sank because I knew he wasn't joking.
“You can't do that. Take me, let Aria go. I'm serious, Lucian, you can't do this—”
My words were cut short when he smacked me so hard that everything turned black instantly.
If anything happened to Aria, I would kill everyone in that damned pack.
*************
“Elias?”
That sounded like Aria.
“Elias, please wake up. I'm so scared.”
Her voice sounded so far away but I could feel her hands on my chest. What the hell was going on?
“Elias!!” She suddenly slammed her fist on my chest and I jolted awake, looking around in confusion as I tried to remember where I was.
“Aria,” I muttered as soon as her face came into sight and she threw herself on me, sobbing as she held me tightly.
“I thought you weren't going to wake up again. I- I don't know where we are or how we got here but we have to find a way to get out of here.” She muttered hurriedly into my shoulder and I gently patted her hair before pulling back slightly.
Lucian. That bastard. I was so wrong for trusting him.
“They found us,” I muttered and she stared at me in confusion.
“Who found us?”
“My pack. My very own pal betrayed me because I betrayed the pack by running with you. That's why we're here. But I won't let them do anything to you. Not while I'm here. I promise.” I took her hand gently and placed a soft kiss on it while she started to cry.
“I'm sorry.” She sobbed. “I'm the reason this is happening—”
“Hey, don't say that, pretty one. I chose this. I chose you. And I'll choose you over and over again if I have the chance to. I will get you out of here safely. I promise.” I said firmly and she sniffed before holding me tightly while I stroked her hair gently.
“In your dreams, Elias.” A voice came from outside the cell we were in and we both glanced up to see Lucian standing there with a grin on his face. “You know, Elias, if I were you, I wouldn't make promises I can't fulfil. Because neither of you is making it out of here alive.”
“Don't count your victories before they hatch, Lucian. You'll be surprised at how quickly the tables can turn.” I retorted in anger and he scoffed, holding his stomach in laughter.
“Try to be brave all you want. But tomorrow morning, that curse of a hybrid will be hanged and burned while you watch, and then you'll be executed. Painfully. That, is for jeopardizing our pack.” He spat with a grin and I suddenly got up, making my way to the gate of the cell before standing in front of him.
“I know you don't care or give a rat's ass about my parents’ death. My dad treated you like shit anyway. You want something else. What is it?” I asked with my brows raised and his facade cracked a bit before he smiled at me again.
“What are you talking about? I'm simply getting rid of the traitor and the curse. What else would I want apart from that?” He asked, laughing hysterically, not knowing that I saw through the poor acting he was trying to demonstrate.
“Just spill it. You're gonna kill us anyway so it wouldn't hurt to know the real reason we're dying.” I probed and he suddenly slammed his fist on the cell, causing me to step backward.
“You want the truth? Fine. After the Alpha's death, we needed a ruler to take over. I was supposed to be the eligible one since you were banished. But the priestess refused to crown me. You belonged to the throne, banished or not. Because I was a beta. Because I wasn't special.” He growled and I could see the veins popping out of his face as he spoke to show how angry he was.
“So I came up with a plan. Find the damn hybrid who could make anyone's blood pure and special and use her to get alpha blood. But you kept protecting her. Ruining my damn plans! So I decided to get rid of both of you together, I'll drink her blood and burn her in front of everyone to see. Then kill you and take over the throne. Isn't that just blissful? A wonderful plan, if you ask me.” He concluded and grinned at me like he was having fun.
“Enjoy your last moments together. Tomorrow marks the beginning of your end.”
