Aiden entered the room of Aria and saw her writing something in her book, Aria had a habit of keeping a diary in which she wrote all her events.
"Princess, how are you," Aiden said entering the room and Aria raised her head and looked at him with her teary eyes.
Aiden's heart broke hearing this because he knows that his sister was in immense pain but unfortunately he can't do anything to ease that pain.
"Baby, don't cry and close your eyes I have brought a present for you," he said to her but aria lost all her interest so she didn't show any excitement.
Aiden took out the locket from his pocket and put it on Aria's palm
The locket was of silver colour and it had a small mirror in between and a letter A was written on it. The locket was familiar to Aria and she was trying hard to recognise it but her memory wasn't supporting her
"This is mom's locket and this will bring good luck in your life," Aiden said to her and patted her back. Aria wore it instantly in happiness
"Thank you, I really need this," she said to him and looked herself in the mirror and admired her beauty
"Princess we need to talk," Aiden said and he was finding the right moment to talk and now Aria was happy so it was easier to strike up a conversation with her.
Aria looked at him with curiosity.
"We need to shift in aloha mansion," Aiden said and the colour from Aria's face went off.
"I am not going there" she declared confidently because she didn't want to see that monster.
"You need to complete your wolf training and Martha will teach you how to behave because you really crossed your limits today," Aiden said a bit harshly to his sister because he realized that to unite Lorenzo and aria he needs to take a step back from the role of a loving brother
"Are you doing all this because you have a soft corner from Samantha" Aria said out of a sudden in anger and Aiden looked at her with a surprised expression but soon controlled himself
"What are you talking about, Samantha is Lorenzo's girlfriend," he said but Aria chuckled and tears slipped from her eyes.
He couldn't tell Aria about Samantha because he knew that Aria can't control her tongue and he was afraid that his little secret will be out so it would be better if Aria stayed ambiguous about everything.
"Samantha is my friend and I care for her but you won't understand because you are immature to understand all this" Aiden said to her and Aria was hurt to know that the brother who loved her the most changed.
Everything around her was changing slowly and she was caught in all this. She wanted a peaceful life but since Lorenzo entered her life, he messed up his mind.
Sometimes she wished for a normal life but she was aware that she was anything but normal
"You can fool anyone but not me, I have seen it in your eyes and you are betraying me because of some whore" aria said in anger but she was aware of the fact that Samantha was no whore but someone special in the lives of both the men.
"Aria, what the hell is wrong with you, say one more time that word from your mouth and then you have no idea what I am going to do," Aiden said in anger and Aria was not helping at all
"What will you do? Will you slap me for another woman and does your alpha know that you are in love with her girlfriend" she said to him boldly and Aiden looked at her in a surprised manner, she is no longer the sister he raised.
The girl standing in front of him is someone else who he didn't recognise.
"Lorenzo was right that your big mouth will bring problems someday and it's decided we are moving onto his house and your training and everything will be handled by alpha," Aiden said and exited the room without giving her a single glance.
Aria broke down into tears, this birthday brought nothing but tears in her life.
She looked at her mother's locket on her neck and wished for her parents to be there to protect her because she could clearly see that her brother was smitten by the beauty of Samantha.
She cried and slept on the floor without any care in the world. She slept knowing that from tomorrow her life won't be the same but she would fight till her last breath.
Once Aria slept with all the pain in her heart, Aiden entered the room and picked her little sister from the floor and tucked her into her bed
"I love you my princess but sometimes hard decision needs to be taken for the happiness of our loved ones," Aiden said getting emotional and putting his hand on her forehead livingly
"I will do everything in my power to unite you with your mate because I know that it's you who can change Lorenzo" he said to Aria's sleeping form because he didn't have the courage to say all this when she woke
Aiden was trying to shoot one arrow with two motives and he couldn't afford to fail in any of these because there was no comparison between his love for his sister and his love for Samantha
Both the girls were dearest in his life so he decided to mend everything even though he had to betray his alpha in the process.
Aiden was ready to do whatever it takes to bring happiness to Aria's life even though at first he had to bear the hatred of her sister.
But he was unaware that nothing could be hidden from the eyes of Alpha Lorenzo.
Alpha Lorenzo could tolerate anything but he wouldn't forgive the one who dared to betray him
