Chapter 1 Chapter 1:- Starkland, the Land of alpha Logan Stark

Dwelling with my family for four years had completely change my life. I remember when I first came here, I was eighteen and had a lack of knowledge of everything around me. Now I am Twenty-two years old. I am confident, much wiser, and have grown into the beautiful She-wolf I was meant to become. My father alpha Logan and his Luna Lila, whom I have loved as if she were my mom, hired the best teacher their money could buy, making sure I obtain the best education out there. My brother Ares and I are completely close than ever. We are always along each other side, keeping each other company. But lately, Ares had become busy working alongside dad. He is the future alpha of my father's pack, Silver moon pack and so dad had to ensure Ares knew everything of becoming the leader of the pack other than acquiring the title as an alpha. Dad wanted Ares to be a true leader who cares deeply about his pack members. Still, I missed my brother's company, but I had to understand the role he will soon play and that it was going to be very important. I too had a role to play being an alpha's daughter, it was not as important as my brother's, but I had to do it. Being the alphas eldest daughter, I had to carry myself a young she-wolf should. Meaning my hair should always be well comb and I should be well attire whenever I was out of the house. I enjoyed doing it. Wearing makeup and wearing beautiful new dresses was one of my favourite things to do now. It had made me become a role model to all the young she-wolf within the pack and would always be invited to any event being kept within Starkland. My dad and mom were so proud of me for becoming the beautiful she-wolf I have grown into and made sure I never lack anything. *********** "Aria," I heard my mom, Luna Lila, calling me from downstairs. "I'm coming, mom!" I shouted while I fixed my bob curly hairstyle. I love my new hairstyle. It was just like mom except hers was not as curly as mine. Over the years I have grown to love my hair being short and so I decided not to grow it. Hurriedly, I removed myself from my small chair in Infront of my beautiful, decorated crystal mirror running into my drawer for a pair of blue jeans and a red blouse. I had no events to attend today and so I decided to dress in something simple and comfortable. I too was happy that my father was going to allow my brother to have some free time today which we could do some catching up and once again enjoy each other company like we used to. Quickly I took off my nightwear which was a simple long Linen blue pant and a long sleeve top that match it. It was comfortable and kept me warm throughout the night without using my blanket. I started to put on my blue jeans, pulling it up gently to my waist, pulling up the zipper, and buttoning my pant. Finally, it was my thin red shirt. I did not want to wear a bra and so I decided to wear my blouse only and to go braless for the day. It was not like I needed it anyways. Over the years my body has grown beautiful. My breast was firm and so I did not need to wear a bra. Also, my body had become very curvy. I was very sexy which had caused my father to become very protective of me. He did not want me to speak to any of the young men within the pack only the ladies. Every event I had attend without him when he is busy, he would allow me to travel with a bodyguard which sometimes cause me to become incredibly angry. Even when I was alone sometimes without him knowing I could see fears within the men's eyes as they passed me as I went to purchase new clothes. I then knew my overprotective alpha dad was the cause of it. Complete attiring myself, I ran towards my bedroom door and closed it behind me going downstairs. "Aria," my cute baby sis stopped me along the stairs; holding her doll that had the same colour of hair like ours. "Yes," I answered her with a bright smile and stooped down to her little level. Ariel was nine but was a little small for her age and looked very adorable. "Ruby is leaving us," she said sadly with her green eyes filled with tears. I took her up within my arms right away trying to comfort her. "Ruby is not going to leave us," I told her. "Perhaps she's going to the supermarket in purchasing more food for the house." Ariel was more attached to the maid and loved her, for sometimes Luna Lila can be busy trying her best in helping dad whenever she was needed. "Yes, she is," she again said. I kissed her on her cheek and wiped away her tears. "Go upstairs and play with your doll. I'm going to find out what's happening," I told her. "Yes sis," she said softly and ran upstairs. Eager to find out if it was true what my baby sis said. I quickly went into the kitchen, but the kitchen was empty. I saw no one. I then went into the dining room; hoping mom was there having breakfast but the table was empty. Was Ruby truly leaving us and why? I started to think. Soon I heard Luna Lila calling me again. "Yes," I again answered her; hearing that she was within the living room. Entering the living room. I saw my mom and Ruby, but they were not alone, beside them sat a long dark hair young she-wolf who looked a bit younger than me. "Finally, you're here," Luna Lila said with a smile. "Please have a seat," she instructed me. As I did happy to see Ruby; I inquired her right away if it was true what my baby sis told me. She nodded. "Why?" I inquired her, surprisingly. I did not want her to leave either, I too had become so close to her as if she was my grandmother. "Jude will still be here also a new worker," she said. "New worker," I repeated. "Yes, that is why I called you," my mom told me. "Please meet your new maid Natalia; she may look very young, but she is eighteen and is qualified to start working." I stared at her and nodded to my mom. Natalia smiled at me. "So now you know we have a new maid don't be afraid to call her whenever you need anything," my mom continued. "Okay," I answered her, while I continued to stare at the young, she-wolf. She was beautiful and looked as if she was grown as an alpha daughter which made me curious to know her story and why she needed this job. "Ruby," my mom called. "Please show her around the house and let her know everything before you leave later." Ruby nodded and carried the new young maid along with her. "Ruby as to go to care for her sick mate until he is well, so, Natalia her daughter will stand in for her till she returns," my mom told me. "Okay," I answered her; knowing that the new maid was Ruby's daughter. "Breakfast will be a bit late today, because of the change of maid," Lila told me. "I understand," I answered her. "I'm going to check on Ariel and cheer her up," Lila said. I nodded and watched her went upstairs. Suddenly I heard a knock at the door. I ran to the door opening it. I screamed excitedly seeing it was my brother and dad. Ares grabbed me in his arms and kiss me and so my dad. I was happy they were home. "Where's your mother?" dad inquired me. "Upstairs," I answered him. He went upstairs hurriedly in meeting her. It was now me and my handsome brother downstairs. My brother was dressed in a white shirt and a black pants which showcase his body of how muscular he had become from constantly being trained with dad. "Let's go have breakfast together," I told him as I wrapped one of my hands around his broad shoulder and pulled him along with me as we both smiled happily. Soon we were within the dining room sitting around the table preparing to have our breakfast. "So, what are we going to do today in catching up with the plenty of times we have missed out on, brother?" I inquired him as I stared into his bright green eyes with a smile. "We are going to go to our favourite spot," he answered. I yelped excitedly in my seat; eager to go to the pond, where we use to always play together. "Prepare to have a lot of fun," Ares said as he gently holds my right hand. Both of our heads turned away from each other as we heard a soft beautiful harmonious voice. "Good morning," our new maid, Natalia greeted us with a smile while she gently places down our breakfast on the round glass table. "Good morning," Ares answered her quickly as if he were nervous. Ares stared at the new maid lost the entire time as she places down our breakfast that made me felt I was not there. "Natalia," I called the maid. As I started to feel a bit jealous of her gaining every attention from my brother. I missed spending time with my brother and so I wanted his attention to only be on me. "Yes miss," she answered me. "You don't have to call her miss, you can call her Aria," Ares said which caused me to widen my eyes frighteningly, staring at him. "Okay," the maid answered Ares and turned her attention back to me. "Never mind," I told her; not bothering to inquire her that how was it I have never seen her in Starkland if she dwelled here with her mom. "Okay," she said and went off. Ares watched her from behind; with a strange strong look within his eyes; until he was no longer able to see her. Soon we started to quietly devour our breakfast. Fried egg, toast bread, bacon, and orange juice. I break the silence inquiring my brother if he wanted us to get to the pond after breakfast. He agreed. Suddenly our parent and our baby sis entered the dining room. "We are going out do you want to come?" dad inquired us. "No," I answered him telling him about me and Ares's plan after breakfast. Mom and dad were fine with it. Before leaving Mom told us that Jude left the house in helping Ruby with something at her home and that the only maid here will be our new maid Natalia. Ares and I both nodded and we watched them left the house. Soon we were finished devouring our breakfast. Natalia came in time to take up the plate in carrying them to the kitchen. Ares had started to stare at her again, nervously I saw Natalia moved a small strand of her black hair behind her left ear. "Let's leave now," I told my brother as I got up from the chair hastily. I wanted to be alone with him. "I'm going to give you three minutes ahead of me to the pond and there I will race you," he told me. I swiftly ran from the house wanting to win him this time in getting to the pond first. He had always been the one to win and so I wanted to win this time. I reached the pond and look behind me not seeing him. I jumped excitedly knowing that I was the first one here; I had won him. I stood waiting on him. I then sat. Where is he? I thought not seeing him. I decide to wait a bit longer until I grew tired of waiting on him and decide to return home. "Ares," I called him angrily. As I entered the house. Suddenly I heard a strange sound. Curious about what it is I slowly went upstairs. The sound grew even more as I got closer to it, turning out into the sound of a female crying excitedly for something badly; desperately wanting more. Soon I started to hear something heavy and hard-hitting against the floor as if it wanted to break through the tiles. I paused nervously at my brother's room seeing it was ajar and lower my back slowly peeking to his door seeing where the sound had come from. My eyes widen seeing our new maid moving on top of my brother naked, while he held her ass lying on his back. I was so shocked I moved quickly and fell not seeing where I was going. "Aria," I heard my brother called me frighteningly. I got up quickly and started downstairs while I started to cry hating what I had just seen.

Chapter 2 Chapter 2: He's no longer the same.

"Aria!" Ares kept on calling me as I ran to open the door about to exit the house angrily. My eyes widen as I felt my brother pulled me back into the house and pushed the door allowing it to slam hard. My ears rang from the loud sound. "Let me go!" I shouted at him as I turned around pulling my right hand away from him not wanting him to touch me. Ares's upper body was sweaty, and he was only within his long black pant that was not zipped up properly nor was it button. "Aria, it's not what you think it is," he tried to explain to me. "I don't want to hear anything from you," I got angry with my brother for the first. "You don't even know her!" I shouted angrily at him. I was so infuriated that he did not want to spend the day with me. Lately, he had become so busy training in becoming the alpha. I barely got to see him and now when he had the time, he ditches me in ramming his dick into a maid he does not even though. I thought my brother was a decent werewolf, but he was just like any other male wolf who could not control their dick whenever they see a beautiful young, she-wolf. And being the alpha one day he had all the advantage to get into any she-wolf pants. I screwed my face as I saw the fast-tailed maid coming downstairs fixing her dress as she got close to us. "I'm sorry," she apologized sadly to me. "Let me handle this Natalia there's no need to be a shame about this for what we did was not wrong," Ares said to her that made my blood started to boil within me. "What!" I said frighteningly. "Natalia and I have known each other for a year now and we have been secretly seeing each other," my brother told me. I was shocked by what my brother said. "But you are not mates," I told him. "We know, but we love each other," Ares told me. Natalya got close to him holding Ares's right hand. I saw within my brother's beautiful eyes that he was madly in love with her. They both were madly in love. My anger disappeared suddenly. "What had happened to me four years ago when I had no choice but to reject my mate I have learned to move on," my brother explained as he turned to Natalia staring within her eyes lost. Recollecting what had happened to us. I felt my wolf within me howling in pain. I was happy that my brother had moved on with his life for it was good for one day; he will need a Luna to rule by his side. I on the other hand did not have the heart to. I do not think my wolf would allow me to. I turned my back sadly starting to think if alpha Christian did the same as my brother did. Ares gently touched me by my shoulder I turned to look at him. "Please don't let father know about this for one of the reasons we have been hiding this is because Natalya is not my mate and as the alpha, it is wrong to steal someone else mate," my brother said sadly. "Okay," I answered, knowing the type of person my father was, very strict. "Just give me some time to tell dad this," my brother said. "I will, you don't have to worry," I told him with a smile trying to hide my sadness. Ares kissed Natalia on her cheek and went upstairs leaving us just two. "Thank you," Natalia thank me with her harmonious voice that seemed like it could capture any man's heart. "I love my brother and would do anything for him," I told her. She nodded and went into the kitchen in completing her daily work. I watched her as she left, while my mind again ran on alpha Christian. Seeing my brother moving on with his life I started to think if it was easier for a male wolf to do so. I was eager to know if Christian had another, she-wolf within his life. I desperately needed to know. My body jumped as I heard the door open. "Aria," my baby sis ran towards me happily. I took her up into my arms and hugged her. "You're back already?" I inquired mom and dad. "Your sis was dying to return home in playing with her doll," Luna Lila answered me. "Yes!" my sis shouted excitedly and slowly pushed her body away from me wanting to come down. I placed her down and watched her ran upstairs into her room speedily. "Did you have a great time with your brother today?" my dad, alpha Logan inquired me while he wrapped one of his strong long arms around mom, pulling her close to his body. "Yes," I lied to my dad. "Okay," he said, while he and mom both passed me going upstairs still close towards each other. I watched them sadly while my mind constantly being kept running on my mate, alpha Christian. I need a run, I thought. It would clear my mind off him. It had helped me throughout the years in getting my mind of Christian whenever the wonderful and painful memories I had once shared with him popped up within my head. Quickly, I exit the house running at the back of my house. I took off my clothes shifting into my bright brown wolf that almost had the colour of my red hair and started to run. The cool breeze passed through my fur brushing against my skin giving me a wonderful feeling. It was what I needed in taking my mind off the painful past. I stopped within a large field from my house and looked back seeing I was far from my house which was not safe. I looked around seeing I was alone and decided to take a rest for a while lying flat on my belly. Enjoying the soothing breeze even more. I lower my head and close my eyes enjoying every moment of this peaceful place. My eyes open quickly, and I jumped up hearing heavy footsteps against the ground and there I saw two strange wolves; running to me showing their teeth as if they wanted to kill me. Frighten I quickly ran opposite from them until I found myself within the forest. I glance behind me and saw them still chasing me. Why are they chasing me? I thought with great worries as I ran deeper into the forest. Swiftly I raised my head within the air howling for my father or brother to alert them I was in trouble. I lower my head back and continued to run. As I ran, I cried scared hoping if my father or brother had heard me and too that I was too far away from my land now. I suddenly stopped seeing there was nowhere for me to run. I was cut off by a big cliff that would be too dangerous to jump over. My wolf trembled as I stand at the edge of the cliff while the two strange light brown wolves got close to me grinning their teeth angrily. I whimper like a pup stepping backward almost falling off. I quickly got hold of myself and closed my eyes scared. Suddenly I heard a loud growled appearing from nowhere. I opened my eyes to see if it was Ares or father, but it was not it was a dark large wolf. I widen my eyes seeing it was Alpha Christian. I quickly moved away from the cliff and watched him as he fought off the two strange wolves by himself. The strange wolf ran crying; defeated. He watched them as they ran off. I stood behind him watching. He turned around and walked away not even looking at me. It was as if I did not exist to him. Happy I was saved by him and to see him. I made a soft sound to him and ran towards him wanting to rub my furry wolf against him thanking him. My wolf jumped frighteningly as he growled at me angrily not wanting me to touch him. I stood away from him scared. He glances at me staring within my eyes. My body shivers at his stare. Within his eyes, I only saw darkness. His eyes were no longer the same as I once remembered, it was darker and gave me a cold deadly feeling not wanting to be next to me. I lower my head and slowly walked backward as he continues to stare at me and turned around quickly running away. Petrified of being around him. My wolf cried seeing her mate was no longer the same. She was afraid of him and only sense pure darkness.

Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Can't stop thinking about him

My wolf jumped frighteningly standing only on my two back feet: seeing the two strange wolves. "It's okay, we're here," I heard my father. I looked sideways seeing my father and brother within their human form shirtless. I went over to my father right away rubbing my furry body against him terrified of what had just happened. "Everything is going to be alright Aria; you're safe now," he told me. My wolf whimpers softly against him, not because of the two strange men, but of the terrible feeling I felt being around my mate. I no longer felt the bond we shared during the full moon. It was as if we were total strangers, and we did not belong to each other anymore. The feeling was painful. "Your brother and I are here now, these men will not hurt you and will suffer for ever hurting you," my dad kept on telling me as he ran one of his hands through my furry head. "Son, let them show who they are!" my father shouted angrily to my brother. Wanting to allow the two strange light-brown beasts to shift instantly. Soon I saw two members of our pack running towards us. "Nyko is here to take you home," my father said as he moved away from me. "Blitz," he called the other wolf. "Help Ares put pressure on them so these pieces of shits can shift," my father ordered the next wolf he had seems to call. "Leave child, I do not want you to see this," my father instructed me to. I turned around quickly to be away from this horrible scene and there I glimpse the shadow of the dark wolf as if he were watching to see if I was safe. I turned around immediately, and I did not see him anymore. "What is wrong?" my dad inquired me. I gave my father a soft moan within my wolf form telling him it was nothing and ran home being followed by Nyko. Nyko was two years older than me. His wolf was dark brown. He ran beside me making sure I was safe. As I ran home, I could not stop thinking about Christian. How different he was, which somehow scares me. He did not treat me the way he uses to with great compassion. He was aggressive to me. Was he still angry with me throughout these years? I thought even more. Sadness covered my heart remembering the terrible day I had to reject a wonderful wolf who had done so much for me for my safety and in the end, I break his heart and pushed him away. I did not wrong him for being angry with me throughout these years, Still, I hated it. I hated the way he now looks at me as if I were nothing to him but a total stranger. I missed the Christian my wolf and I once knew. "Hmmm," I heard Nyko made a soft moan to me informing me that I was home safe. I nodded to him and ran to the back of my house where I had hidden my clothes. I shifted within my wolf form the minute I got close to my clothes concealed behind pots of flowers. I took up my closes and hid so no one could see me. Suddenly I found myself bursting out into tears. My wolf did not like the dark connection her mate had shared with her earlier. It was too much for her. I held my heart and pull my naked body down to the ground crying my eyes out. I could not handle it. I thought all these years I had gotten over him, but I did not. I did not. "Aria," I heard my mom calling me. I used my blouse in wiping away my tears quickly and started to put on my blouse and pant. As soon as I have completed attiring myself. Luna Lila had come upon me. "Aria," she called me. I turned around and lower my head, sadly. "Are you alright Aria?" she inquired me. I nodded; not wanting to say anything for I knew I would break down into tears again. "What happened in the forest that you called for help?' she inquired me concerned. Hearing her inquiring me about the forest and remembering how my mate had treated me. I covered my face and cried out. "Aria did anyone hurt you?" Luna Lila came close to me and touch my right shoulder. I continued to cry not wanting to answer her. "Please tell me what's wrong?" she inquired me worried. I tried to answer her, but the words could not escape my mouth. "Come let us go inside," Lila gently removed one of my hands from my face covered in tears and gently carried me inside. I followed her until we were inside my bedroom. I slowly moved my hand away from her while tears streaked down my cheek and went to lay on my bed sadly. She sat on my bed behind me as I lay on my side turning my back. "Aria I am worried about you as a mother," I heard she said sadly. I hated that I was causing her to worry too much about me, but I did not want her to know the true reason that I was crying. I did not want her to know it was because of Christian. Luna Lila quickly came off the bed hearing a sound downstairs. "Lila," I heard dad called. "I'll be right back," Lila told me as she gently touched me on my back and exit my room closing the door behind her. As she leaves, I curled up sadly onto the bed; constantly thinking of how Christian had pushed me away like I meant nothing. He was so cold to me and I hated it so much. I wiped away the tears from my eyes as I heard my door open slowly knowing it was my mom and dad. "Aria," my dad called me as he entered my room. I remain within the same position not wanting to see anyone now. I wanted to be alone. My dad walked around my bed and stooped down staring into my face. "Don't worry you will not see Christian again," my dad said. My eyes widen and I sat up on the bed right away hearing what he said. How did he know It was Christian I was crying over?
