Married To The Blind Alpha
When Aria turned five her grandmother told her that their family has never been blessed with a mate and not having a mate doesn't mean they won't find love. When Aria turned eighteen, her desire to have a mate became stronger because her best friend whom she had a crush on found his mate and the pure joy in his eyes when he told her about the mate bond, place a emptiness in her heart. "You are special, Aria. You have the power to turn back time." That was what her grandmother told her when she claimed she was cursed and even though she was not satisfied with that answer, she never asked again. Two years later, Aria got a call from the hospital and found out that her grandmother has been poisoned and the only way for her to save her grandmother was to accept this deal made by the Alpha of the Shadow Moon pack "Marry Alpha Tristan, have him fall for you and then kill him." It was the only way to saved her grandmother so she agreed despite knowing that she was walking into a lion den, because how was she going to kill a man who despite losing both his sight and his mate, command enough power and authority to still be called a Alpha. How will Aria feel when she realized that the man she has been task to kill has been waiting for her for five lifetimes? What situation will Aria find herself that will require her to turn back time and what price will she pay for altering time itself? ----------- Excerpt Aria felt uneasy by his silence and wondered if it was the right moment to use the techniques, Hailey has taught her. Taking a deep breath, Aria stepped closer and closed her eyes as she brushed her lips against Tristan's. Tristan stiffened when he felt her lips on his and without thinking, he immediately pushed her away. Seeing the angry look on his face, Aria felt like it was all over; she was definitely going to be killed now. But Tristan expression was shadowed by more than anger. How had she gotten so close without him sensing her? And why--why was his heart racing like this?
His Aitana
"You both shared a kiss!" Hailey shouted!
After leaving the party, they couldn't return back to their dorm, since the gatekeeper locks the gate by 11 pm. So Hailey suggested they spend the night at a hotel and return back to their dorm tomorrow.
And as soon as they entered the room, Hailey began pestering Aria to tell her everything that went down between her and Tristan.
"Don't shout. Do you want the world to know?"
Hailey ignored Aria and said, "I can't believe you and Alpha Tristan shared a kiss! You have to tell me what it was like."
"What? No!"
"Come on, Aria. I need to know what a kiss with Alpha Tristan was like. Was it a tongue kiss or all just lips?"
"Just lips." Aria replied softly. She could still remember how his lips slowly moved against hers and call her crazy, but she definitely wouldn't mind sharing a kiss with him again.
"Whoa, so my lovely Aria lips are no longer a virgin. I'm so happy for you." Hailey said with a smile and pulled her into a hug.
Aria chuckled at her friend's excitement and said, "You are so weird."
"No, I'm not. But Aria, you still have to be careful. A man who is capable of killing his mate is a dangerous one."
Aria hesitated. "What if it's all rumors? He didn't seem like the type to kill senselessly... Her voice trailed off as Hailey's expression turned serious.
"Don't forget why we're doing this," Hailey said firmly. "He's the one who needs to fall for you, not the other way around. Whatever you did to make him agree to this marriage, keep doing it. You can't afford to be distracted."
Aria nodded; she understood what she needed to do, but one thing was still bothering her: "What about Alpha Milton?"
"You have to lie to him. If my Alpha suspects that you have betrayed him, he might not take it lightly with you, so you must keep pretending that you are on his side until you have gotten Tristan to get you an antidote for your grandmother."
"I still need to find out who poisoned her."
"And you will, but first, finding a cure for your grandmother's poison is our first priority. So can you do it? Can you lie to two Alphas?"
"It is better than taking a life."
Hailey smiled and said, "Well, it's a good thing Alpha Tristan is blind, so he won't be able to see most of the things you do."
Aria wanted to tell Hailey that even though Tristan was blind, he was still capable of seeing with the eyes of his wolf, but for some reason she hesitated to share that piece of information with her friend.
"Let's get some rest; we have to go back to the dorm early in the morning to get our clothes for a certain someone's marriage."
Aria smiled, and they both lay on the bed, getting ready to sleep when she suddenly said, "Hailey, sorry you didn't get to meet your mate; I know how much you were looking forward to it."
Hailey was quiet for a few seconds, and Aria wanted to turn to look at her when she heard her voice.
"It's fine. Since we are destined, we will surely meet. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Aria whispered, drifting off to sleep.
....
While Aria had no problem drifting off to sleep, Tristan, on the other hand, wasn't able to get even a second of sleep. Even though his eyes were opened, the only thing he could see was darkness, a darkness he had already gotten used to since he was a child.
"Why are you so quiet?" Tristan finally asked his wolf, who hadn't said a word to him even after they met the one they were always hoping to see in every lifetime.
"She doesn't remember us." Zolan murmured, his voice heavy with sorrow.
"Aren't you supposed to be glad about that? Or do you wish for her to remember how brutally she was killed? How we failed her?"
Zolan didn't respond, but Tristan could feel his wolf grief like a second heartbeat.
He closed his eyes with a sigh, and the memory of their kiss brought a slight smile to his face. Her name may have changed, but everything about her was still the same; she was still his Aitana.
