Aria’s POV
His black wet hair made him more handsome and I couldn’t understand why I found him attractive.
“What are you doing in our territory” he asked squeezing my jaw really hard.
I couldn’t believe that in my wave of emotions, I had run across the border of my pack. I looked at him closely and realized that it was no other than the infamous Darian. He was the alpha of the brawny pack and they were known for disliking intruders. I looked at the rest of the men who accompanied him. They were probably on partrol when they witnessed my shameful act. I couldn’t help but curl up against myself in disgust. I looked at them, waiting to be killed like all the others who trespassed.
Darian studied me for a while.
“You are probably going to be happy if I ended your life right here” he chuckled “that’s why I am not going to do it”
He was being an over smart cocky bastard.
“She is obviously not a spy else she wouldn’t be trying to kill herself in the middle of nowhere” the closest to the alpha said. He was probably his relative as there was an uncanny resemblance between the both of them. He just had blue eyes and was a less handsome version of the Alpha.
“I am not a spy, I just want to die in peace. My life is already so miserable and I just wish to go” I replied with chattering teeth. The cold was really getting to me.
Darian got up from where he was squatting in front of me and heavens he was tall. Maybe it’s because I was still seated on the floor and covered with mud. My pink silk dress was ruined and was really transparent. That means now that it was wet … I looked down to see that my breast and n*****s were clearly visible and hurriedly covered them up. I was sure Darian noticed the sudden movement as he pulled his jacket and handed it over to me.
“Don’t worry, we are killers not rapists” he smirked. “Cover yourself and come with us”
“I just want to be left alone”
“That was not a request” he said sternly
“I refuse to come with you” at this point I was just looking to provoke him to a point where he kills me.
“You better listen to the Alpha” another one in the group remarked and Darian raised his hands to tell him not to speak.
“At this point, all little missy wants is death and I am not going to give it to her” Darian said to my face.
“I don’t want to die” I swallowed making a weak attempt in convincing him that I actually wanted to live.
“I can see right through you. Well, technically without the jacket I could” he smirked once more “So, it’s either you follow me to my house or you get dragged in the mud”
I stared at him in horror.
“So you choose” he added.
I weighed my options and realizing that being dragged in the mud was not going to be a pretty sight, I finally agreed to follow them.
We walked in silence for the rest of the journey. Well, me and the two men I was chained to. Darian was ahead with his look alike and they spoke inaudibly. The rest were loud and unbothered by the dense jungle. It only showed how often they came down here.
We finally came to Darian's house and I couldn't help but gasp. Of course I wasn’t expecting a cottage but I wasn’t expecting that big of a mansion either. The rest of the group left and went behind the masion leaving Darian, his look alike and I at the entrance door. I rubbed my wrist where the chain had been while anticipating what he wanted to do with me.
“Walk with me” he commanded and began walking through the hallways after staring at me for a while.
I trailed behind them while admiring the beauty and grandeur of the place. I wondered if the alpha back at my pack had a house like this. I would never know because I wasn’t allowed into the Alpha’s estate.
“So, you would be staying here with me where you would be monitored and trained” Darian said ahead of me.
“Trained?” I was really getting anxious.
“Yes trained, no one who stays at my house is allowed to be weak”
I really don’t want to stay here.
“What kind of training are we talking about” I replied instead.
“Physical exertion and war training”
“I don’t have a wolf” I blurted.
They both turned abruptly.
“Really?” Darian’s look alike asked and I immediately felt embarrassed.
“Well, that means you would be a great fighter” Darian commented and for the first time I knew that not everyone thought I was completely useless.
“Tristan would show you to your chambers. I have some duties to attend to” he strolled away casually and soon I was staring into the eyes of Tristan.
“Right this way” he ushered by creating a beeline for me. Unlike his look alike, he was gentle and calm.
“Thank you. So are you both like brothers?” I couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes twins actually” he gave me the warmest smile ever “but he is older”
“Wow, then why does he behave like a Prick”
“Excuse me”
“I said, why do you both behave so differently?”
“Ohh well, what can I say” he stopped in front of a door “ genes”
“Is this it?” I pointed at the old red door.
He pushed the door open. “Yes, I hope you like to read though”
There was nothing so special about the room only that it was covered in dust and books filled two shelves. The bed was just right for two very lean people. There was a writing table with a chair and finally a small washroom.
“It is nice”
“It was Darian’s choice. I hope you could get comfortable and prepare for your training tomorrow. The kitchen is the last door down the hallway. You can get whatever you need for cleaning, just ask the staff”
“Okay, thank you” I blurted and he nodded closing the door behind him.
I walked around the room tracing objects with my fingertips and dusting them off on my dress. The room really needed a good scrub. My shoulders dropped and I exhaled sharply.
“What have you gotten yourself into, Aria?”
