Alpha’s Vow: Reclaiming his lost Luna

Aria entered Knight’s car in silence. 

The omega is so cautious about everything around her now because first, she didn't text Knight, and seeing him arrive with Alexander made her a little suspicious.

After she learned that her daughter was alive and that everything that she believed was true was all lies, she suddenly had that ugly feeling in her gut about the people around her.

Knight didn't start the car. The pure blood alpha's mind was in chaos after his conversation with Alexander and now he witnessed Aria being so comfortable around Kiana and Cyrus, he suddenly felt a pang of jealousy, an envy...thinking that the omega would never be his.

"A-aren't we going home?" Aria breaks the silence because she feels like her head is about to explode if they remain in the parking lot.

Knight turned to look at the younger who was avoiding direct eye contact from him.

"Are you not hungry? We can go grab some dinner first before we go home." Knight suggested.

 Aria remained still and focused outside the car.

The omega shakes her head. She isn't hungry at all. 

Her mind is wondering about the three other wolves they left in the restaurant a few minutes ago.

She is wondering how and why Alex betrayed her. 

She doesn't have any idea why her best friend would lie to her about her child. 

Another m part of her is also wondering if her daughter got to eat the strawberry dip they ordered. 

Amidst the chaos in his head, she can't help but smile a little upon remembering that yes, her pup is alive.

Knight saw the tiny smile on Aria’s lips and as much as he wanted to ask her why, he just couldn't do it.

 He felt like anything he says will only push the omega away from him so he just kept quiet until they arrived at his penthouse. 

He also volunteered to help Aria carry the shopping bags but the younger refused immediately. 

They entered the house in complete silence until Knight slammed the door behind him.

Aria was startled. 

It was the first time that it ever happened so she slowly turned around to face the alpha only to find him flashing his red eyes directly at her.

"Why aren't you asking me why I arrived at the mall with Alex and how I found you there?" he asked, his voice so deep that almost made Aria submit. 

She would have if not because she is carrying the mark of another pure blood.

"K-knight...your eyes." Aria takes a step back from the alpha because, for the first time since they met each other, it was the only time Knight snapped at her like that.

"Answer me Aria, why aren't you asking me about what just happened tonight?" knight repeats as he takes a step closer towards the omega.

Aria gulps, she knows she is producing distressed pheromones but thanks to her scent blocker, Knight is unaware of how scared she is at that moment until the older closes the gap between them. 

Knight’s eyes turn back to normal, his scent still dominant but more relaxing than the one he was producing just a while ago.

"Did you think I would betray you just like how your best friend did three years ago? Did you think I would hurt you even after I promised that I would take care of you? Aria, I gave you my word." Knight uttered before lifting his hand to touch Aria’s pale face.

"I would never hurt you. I don't know why and I don't know how this is even possible because the moment I thought of betraying you, my heart immediately breaks as if I am compelled to protect you. It's as if you're carrying my brother's blood which is impossible because he's dead." Knight said, his voice just above a whisper as he didn't want anyone to hear him.

The pure blood alpha leans closer to the male omega and at first Aria was about to dodge him because she thought Knight would kiss her only to find out that all the alpha wanted was to lean his forehead to hers.

 "I cannot hurt you Aria. From the very first time I saw you, I just knew I could never hurt you." Knight uttered and at that moment he wasn't even sure who he was trying to convince anymore. 

He is so ashamed of himself because when Alex convinced him about her plan, he almost let his mind wonder about the possibility of conniving with her until he felt his wolf growling inside him.

Knight has never felt his wolf growl like that ever since he lost his brother but at that moment, when he almost fell into Alex’s trap..the wolf inside him reminds him of his promise to protect Aria at all costs.

“Knight ...y-you're crying," Aria mumbled when she felt his tears on her face since there was only a centimeter gap between them.

Knight lets go of the younger as he wipes his tears away.

"I'm sorry about that Ria… I was just really mad at myself for thinking about the possibility of betraying you and it hurts to think that you also thought that I could hurt you." Knight confessed.

Aria finally breathed out before gently placing her shopping bags down and tenderly holding the older’s face.

"I'm so sorry for doubting you, but remember when you told me that my daughter is alive? Y-you're right Knight. Kiana, my baby is alive." Aria admitted to the alpha when she felt the air between them going back to normal.

Knight pulled away from the younger so he could see her pretty face.

"You finally believe it! I knew that angel was yours! Aria, she's too adorable to be Alexander’s!" Knight blurted out and that made Aria smile.

 "I thought you were gonna say she's too pretty for Cyrus’" Aria said trying to lighten the mood between them but Knight immediately shook his head off upon hearing her joke.

"That idiot may look like there's always a stick stuck up his ass but he looks pretty too, well not as pretty as you of course," Knight said before taking the younger's hand to his.

Aria couldn’t help but blush upon hearing the alpha's words but she let him hold her hands.

"But Knight ... how did you know I was there?" Aria finally asks what has been bothering her after the tension between them finally subsided.

Knight guides her to their living room and lets her sit on the couch beside him before he goes to grab the brown envelope on the side table.

"First of all, I want you to know that I did what I did because I wanted to protect you and that I just want the best of you, Ria. I know you would most likely hate me because of this but I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me too. I would understand if…”

"Oh my god Knight stop. You are rambling. Now tell me what did you do and also what's in that envelope?" Aria pointed at the envelope he was holding.

"I hired a private investigator to….”

"You didn't stop!?" Aria interrupts him and Knight just nods before he starts to pours out what's inside the envelope.
