Aria POV
I still remember the first day I met the children of the Alpha; it was the day my mom finally got a job at the waterfall pack house.
Mara and I synced shortly after we met; we fell in love quickly, declaring ourselves besties. We both needed one another since we never had friends.
Moving from one shelter to another worsened it to keep any friends. We were so glad when Waterfall opened their borders and offered us a home.
Daryl and Leo have always been inseparable, ever since my arrival. The boys were not so fond of me, or so I thought since they always found ways to pick on me.
Daryl turned nastier, picking on me all the time, ever since the night of my seventeenth birthday party that Luna Macy threw for me. After I foolishly told the truth about being a virgin during our never-have-I-ever game.
My nickname came to be ‘Aria the virgin sigh’.
Growing up with these fine young men messed with a reserved girl like me, both Daryl and Leo always made me feel some type of way. I realized I was attracted to them, especially Daryl.
However, I tried my best to conceal my feelings, particularly from Mara; she would definitely freak out.
Bright lights smash my eyes as I attempt to open them, and for a few seconds, I strain to understand my current situation.
The golden chandelier hung up as evidence this was not my room. I glanced around my surroundings, wanting to know where I was.
Until memories begin to flood in, everything replays in my head all at once, from Alpha Razam hauling me into the woods and then the attack to rape me!
Then Daryl intervened; he saved me. Oh my goodness.
“Hi Aria, I’ve waited so long to meet you!” An unfamiliar voice resounds in my head, startling me.
I heard it again; this time she chuckled before howling inside my head.
“I’m Gigi, your wolf, and new best friend!” She lets in out excitement.
Oh yes, my Wolf, I finally got my Wolf. How could I forget that?
“Um, hi…” I respond with hesitancy, nonetheless dazed.
Suddenly, the door in front creaks open, and I am shocked to see Daryl and Leo exiting what seems like a bathroom together; the only clothing on their skin are towels hanging below their waistlines, and also droplets of water trickled down their skin. WTF!
Their gaze meets mine within seconds, and for some reason, I’m lost in them. Fascinating scents hit me hard, and my Wolf howls excitedly.
“Mates! Mates!!”
Both their eyes immediately turned to that of their beasts; the growls escaping their throats made me shiver in excitement.
It was at this moment I realized the game the moon goddess had decided to play in my life. Two mates! How was this even possible?
The entire scene from yesterday replays in my head, from the moment my wolf emerged to recognizing that the brothers I have crushed on for years were my fucking mates!
Everyone grew up learning that at a certain time in your life, you get to meet the most amazing soul whom you share a bond with and who is destined to be your mate for this lifetime; however, my case appears to be different.
“Finally, you are awake. Sleep well? Leo says as both men now stand in front of me.
Daryl climbed onto the large mattress; he sat so close that I felt his warmth; the pull of the bond was so strong I craved to hug them both.
Leo also settles on the bed as both stare at me intently.
“Where am I?” I whisper now, avoiding their gaze, but he lifts my chin with his fingers, our eyes now searching one another.
“You are where you’ve always belonged, Aria, in our room, on our bed,” Daryl says with no expression on his face; his words were potent, and I could tell he meant every word.
“We have waited so long, Aria; now the time has come for the world to know who you belong to,” Leo says,
“You guys knew?”
“We have always known that you are ours, and every second we had to mask our feelings was more than torture.”
To say I am shocked means fibbing because I am perplexed. Being paired to these two is clearly the last forte I expected, but here we are.
“You saved me last night… Thank you.” I say to Daryl, yet my words must have vexed him because currently, his countenance switched.
“We will tear to pieces anyone who tries to harm our mate,” he retorts.
“Especially some pussy ass teenagers.” Leo hissed.
I realized I was in a large T-shirt with no pants underneath. I swallowed hard when a servant walked into the room with a food tray. Not only that, but I bent my head in embarrassment. My mates were half-naked.
“Our beasts will only rest until you eat.”
After making sure I was finally filled with food, both men shoved me into the bathroom for a bath.
My Wolf was super excited the entire time, making me giggle at her often.
Done with my bath as I unlock the bathroom, I come face to face with both my mates eavesdropping on me.
“Uh, Leo believes the color red would suit you better, but I know you’ll look magnificent in yellow. So we picked out a few pieces you can choose from.” Daryl explains,
Their actions got me thinking if this was how they would frequently argue over the color I chose to wear.
Thankfully both men were already dressed this time, so I comfortably peeked at them.
“They are both lovely,” I mutter.
I noticed Daryl stare down at my chest; his eyes held emotions in them. I was wrapped in only a towel, so of course it ticked the bond.
“Can I kiss you, Aria?”
I gulped at his request; the look he conveyed showed he was damn serious.
“She is ours, brother; we can have her just the way we want, right, Aria?”
I nod at Leo’s words; he was right, after all, I was theirs. The pull of the bond was so strong I had to stop my myself from jumping into their arms.
Suddenly, strong hands pressed my little body against the wall. Daryl stood with outstretched arms beside my head; he moved to my neck and then placed a kiss on my skin.
His actions made me tremble, as the feeling of excitement mixed with anxiety crammed my entire being.
His tongue on my skin turns out to be the best feeling in the world.
With my eyes closed, I anticipated his lips on mine until he closed the gap between us. Our lips unite, and my toes curl in excitement. I feel the butterflies dancing in my stomach.
His soft lips smooch mine with tenderness, giving me time to follow his lead. Leo stood beside us, watching with admiration in his eyes.
Minutes later, Daryl dumped the soft part as he fully attacked my lips; he bit me, gaining access into my mouth. Then he begins to kiss me hard, sucking my tongue as he tastes all of me.
After what felt like a lifetime, he finally lets go, yet before I realize a thing, Leo takes his position now in front of me. He smiles at my already flushed face.
“My turn, baby,” he murmurs before attacking my lips.
