“I’m... I’m nothing...”His eyes darkened more, with his body pressing me against the wall.
“You’re everything.” His voice was raw, and filled with emotions.
“You drive me crazy... make me want to protect you... punish you... possess you.” I trembled, his words wrapping around my heart, slowly suffocating me.
“I... I don’t understand...” His fingers brushed my cheek, and his touch was surprisingly gentle.
“Neither do I. But I can’t stand seeing you with him. It makes me... insane.” My heart broke, and my chest tightening more at his words.
“Asher... he’s kind... gentle... everything you’re not...”.I saw pain flickered in his eyes, his face tightening hard.
“I know.” His voice was low, almost vulnerable.
“But he can’t have you. No one can.”
I shook my head, tears mixing with the rain.
“You’re cruel...and selfish... I hate you...”
His lips crashed against mine, his kiss just as fierce, and desperate as he is now.
“Then hate me,” he growled, his hands gripping me tightly to himself.
“But don’t leave me.” Well, my body betrayed me as usual as it melted against his, my heart shattering under his touch.
“How could he be so cruel... and so broken? I hated him. I hated him for making me feel this way... for making me fall for him. But as his lips claimed mine, his kiss wild, and possessive, I knew the truth. I was his. I’d always been his. Even if it destroyed me”.

Dear dairy, it's Day Ten, and i did my best to avoid them all after that night. Yet, Asher’s gentle words haunted me, his broken expression tearing at my heart everytime I sees him. But Aiden’s fierce kiss... his desperate plea... it shattered me. I didn’t understand him, the way he could be so cruel yet so vulnerable. Why did he want me? Why couldn’t he let me go?
I was a mess, my heart a tangled knot of emotions. I needed space, time to sort through my feelings, to figure out why my heart ached for both of them. But Axel had other plans for me.
He cornered me in the hallway a week later when the other Alphas were out on the training ground, his arms crossed as he leaned casually against the wall. His golden eyes glinted with mischief, a wicked smile curving his lips.
“You’ve been busy,” he drawled, his voice smooth as silk.
“Playing with my brothers... how naughty.” My face flushed, panic flaring up.
“I... I don’t know what you’re talking about...” He laughed, the sound low, and mocking.
“Oh, come on, Aria. I saw you... with Asher... with Aiden... kissing them like you can’t get enough.” Shame burned through me, my heart pounding fast at his words.
“I... I didn’t...” Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and his smile turning dangerous.
“You’re quite the little temptress, aren’t you?” He stepped closer, his body towering over mine.
“I wonder... are you playing them against each other? Or are you just that hungry for attention?”I recoiled slightly, his words cutting deep.
“I’m not... I would never...” He tilted his head, his gaze roaming over me.
“You must be pretty special to get under Aiden’s skin like that. I’ve never seen him so... possessive.” He smirked, his eyes gleaming.
“And Asher... sweet, gentle Asher. You’ve turned him into a lovesick puppy.” My heart twisted slightly, guilt flooding me. I never meant to hurt them... to come between them. I was just a maid. A weak wolf. I wasn’t supposed to feel anything... wasn’t supposed to fall in love.
Axel’s finger lifted my chin, his touch light, teasing.
“But what about me?”I froze, his face inches from mine.
“W-What?”His eyes gleamed with amusement.
“Did you forget about me, little maid?” His voice dropped, a wicked promise in his words.
“I’m still your Alpha... and I don’t like being left out.” My heart raced with anxiety, his scent slowly intoxicating me, and his presence becoming overwhelming not to shiver.
“I... I didn’t...” He leaned in, his lips brushing my ear.
“You’ve been so busy playing with them... you didn’t even notice me watching you.” His breath was hot on my skin, and his voice a low purr.
“Did you forget, Aria? You’re not just theirs... you’re mine too.” I shivered slightly, heat flooding me, and his words igniting something dangerous inside me.
“I... I don’t belong to anyone...” His lips curved into a wicked smile.
“Oh, is that so?” His fingers trailed down my neck, his touch light, teasing.
“Then why are you trembling?” And I hated him. Hated the way he played with me, the way he could see through my walls so easily. But my body betrayed me, my skin burning where he touched me, my heart pounding.
His eyes slowly darkened, with his voice turning serious.
“You’re in dangerous territory, Aria. Playing with them... with me... it won’t end well.” I swallowed, fear twisting in my gut.
“I... I didn’t mean to...”He chuckled softly, while his fingers brushing my hair back.
“Oh, I believe you. That’s what makes it so much fun.” His eyes gleamed, with his smile wicked.
“You’re so innocent... so naive... and yet, you’ve turned this house upside down.”.I trembled at his words sinking in.
“I... I never wanted to cause trouble...” He leaned in, his lips brushing mine, and his voice a whisper.
“Too late for that, little maid.” He said with his eyes gleamed with hints of dark promises. Dark promises laid in secret for me.
