Chapter 5

Aria had never been a fan of wearing hoodies. She liked cute dresses or button-up shirts better but when she was changing her outfit for her flight back, she knew that wearing hoodies even when it was summer was a must for her to hide her face just in case someone recognized her.

The omega who used to sing at one of Harris’s bars in New Zealand checks the time on her watch again before she finally calls a taxi as she tries to hide her face with her hoodie. It was 10 a.m. already and the address written on her phone was about an hour away from the airport. Aria put her luggage at the back of the cab before he settled inside. She also gave the driver the complete address before she leaned back and checked her phone.

Since she is an orphan and has no family in the US, Harris gave her the number of his trusted friend, Knight Ashbourne. At first, she was hesitant to accept the offer again because he'd been helping her for the past three years but when he informed her that Knight was an alpha who had high respect for Omegas, she relented. 

She accepted the phone number since Harris already told her that he already informed his friend about her arrival.

Aria decided to dial the number for the first time. a man on the other side answered on its third ring.

"Hello?" 

"H-hello. Is this Mr Knight Ashbourne?" Aria asked hesitantly when she heard the deep and authoritative voice from the other line.

"Yes. Is this Aria Thomson?" the man asked with a little excitement.

She knitted her eyebrows when she noticed. "Yes, this is Aria... hmm,    I'm Harris’s friend." she tried to hide her confusion.

"Oh, it's nice to finally hear from you, Miss Aria. I'm sorry but this is Justin, Justin Steele. Mr. Ashbourne is in the middle of a meeting. He informed me about your arrival today. Are you at the airport already? Shall I call a driver to pick you up and--" 

"Wait! No! I mean, hold on a second Mr. Steele. You said Mr. Knight is in the meeting?"

Aria asked, a little confused because as far as she could remember, Harris told her that he didn’t have a business but he could help her once she was back in New York.

"Yes, Miss Thomson. Mr Ashbourne is in the meeting but he is aware that you're arriving today. So please tell me where to pick you up so I can instruct the driver to--" Micheal is interrupted.

"I'm sorry Justin but can I just call you again later? I just have to deal with something."

Aria made up an excuse so she could hang up from the call.

"Sure Miss Thomson but please call us immediately if you need help with anything." He said again before finally ended the call.

Aria sighed as she looks out the window. She noticed how the city Looked busier compared to the last time she was there.  She also noticed the beautiful buildings that were towering along the streets.

"Mr. Driver can you please pull over." Aria suddenly asked the taxi driver to stop the car in front of a chicken restaurant.

The taxi driver seems confused at first because it was  clearly not the address she gave him but she explained that she needed to meet someone else there first so the old taxi driver just dropped her off. When she was standing outside the restaurant,is only then when she finally realizes that she really was back. He went inside and ordered a bucket of fried chicken & a can of soda.

The truth is, she had no one to meet there.she just wanted to breathe and think of the things she really wanted to do now that she was back. First on her list is to visit her baby. She wanted to pay respect to her daughter but she knew it was risky to go to the private cemetery of the Carter,s so she just made a mental note to buy a bouquet of roses that she could scatter on the River later.

The Omega's heart suddenly throbs in pain again upon remembering her angel. She doesn't cry anymore, she doesn't sob like a baby too whenever she remembers Kiana.

But her heart never failed to remind her that she lost a piece of herself. Her fading mating mark is also a huge reminder every day of how broken she is.

She knows that her marriage to her mate was dissolved 3 years ago but the mating mark on her neck was still visible even though it was slowly fading through the years that she's been away from her mate. Aria almost jumps off her seat when the waiter serves her food. She was lost in her deep thoughts that she didn't even notice how much time passed by. She looked at the chicken and forced herself to smile.

"Come on Aria, at least let this fried chicken welcome you back," she mumbled to herself before she took a bite of the tasty fried chicken.

SYNOPSIS In the city of Nocturna, where vampires rule the night and humans exist as second-class citizens under the Blood Accord, twenty-three-year-old Sera Blackwood has spent her entire life hiding a deadly secret: she's a Dhampir-half-human, half-vampire-an abomination whose very existence is punishable by death in both worlds.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, Sera and Daemon must navigate treacherous court politics, ancient vampire covens, and a growing attraction that could destroy them both. Because the plague isn't random-it's a calculated attack. And the conspiracy behind it reaches higher than either of them imagined, threatening to expose Sera's true nature and reignite the blood wars that nearly destroyed Nocturna a century ago. As bodies pile up and the fragile peace crumbles, Sera must choose: remain in the shadows and let the city burn, or step into the light and risk everything-including her heart-to save both the humans and vampires who would kill her if they knew what she really was. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weakness, some secrets are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for. **Blood and Shadows** is a dark, seductive tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and the monsters we become when we fight for survival. ---
Healing My Seven Broken Beast Mates Novel Cover

My retirement was finally approved, and I was supposed to be sipping drinks on a sunny beach. Instead, a cold system voice forced me into a nightmare scenario: "Cursed Mates Who Want Me Dead." I woke up in a stinking cave, trapped in the body of a psychopathic tribal princess. The memories that flooded my brain made me sick. The original owner of this body had forcibly marked seven of the continent's most powerful beast-men and reduced them to tortured pets. She had ripped the shimmering scales off Jordi the Merfolk prince, gouged out a proud wolf-man's power crystal, and snapped an eagle-man's magnificent wings. Now, Jordi was a mutilated, terrified mess hiding in a corner. He was so traumatized that he tried to slit his own throat just to escape me. His sister was actively trying to assassinate me. To make matters worse, the system warned me that if I didn't heal these seven ticking time bombs, my soul would be erased. Yet the future timeline clearly showed that these men would eventually unite, burn my tribe to the ground, and dismember me alive. I was paying for a monster's sins. Every time I tried to show mercy, they thought it was a sick new torture method. Words were useless, and my very presence was a trigger. But I am a Tier-S operative, and I don't play the victim.

Ninety-Nine Times, Then No More Novel Cover
7.3
This was the ninety-ninth time I caught my husband, Chase Vargas, with another woman in our five-year marriage. I stood in the hotel doorway, numb, tired of the cheap perfume and his cold, familiar eyes. But this time, his mistress, a blonde woman, hissed, "He told me all about you. The pathetic wife he's stuck with because of some business deal. He said he can't stand the sight of you." Her words, meant to hurt, were things I already knew, things Chase had made sure I understood. Still, hearing them from a stranger felt like a new humiliation. She lunged, scratching my face, drawing blood. The sting was a surprising jolt in my numb world. I wrote her a check, a routine part of this pathetic scene. Then my phone rang. It was Chase, calling from across the room. "What are you doing? Are you making a scene? Clean it up and get out. You're embarrassing." He thought I had orchestrated this, that I was the embarrassing one. The betrayal was casual, complete. "I'm tired, Chase," I said, the words finally coming from a place I thought had died. "I want a divorce." He laughed, a cruel sound. "A divorce? Elena, don't be ridiculous. You love me too much to ever leave me." I hung up. He then handed me a signed divorce agreement, telling me his true love, June, my adopted sister, was back. He wanted me to play the dutiful wife for her welcome-home concert. My heart, which I thought had turned to stone, felt a final, crushing blow. He wasn't divorcing me because I wanted it. He was divorcing me for her. I signed the papers. The ninety-ninth time was the last time he would do this to me.
