ADELEI stared at Aryan, who was looking at me with a pleasant expression on his face. He made me feel so much better about myself. It wasn't easy though, expressing my feelings to him directly. I never thought I'd be able to say it to him. I didn't even know I'd get the opportunity again to ever be so close to him. But, after hearing all that Aryan said, how he thought I was beautiful, and followed me all the way to the cafe, not to reject me, but to spend some time with me and hear my side of the story, I was beyond happy.It meant that deep down, somewhere in his heart, Aryan had a soft spot for me. Most certainly because I was his mate though. I knew he loved Selene more, but I was okay with that. As long as he spent some time with me or gave me a little attention, I was okay. This was what gave me the courage to confess my feelings to him. I wasn't expecting him to say the same, but I was hoping that he would be pleased by my confession. And from the look on his face, I knew th
ARYANAs I drove back home, I felt very happy. The time I had spent with Adele gave me a feeling that was out of this world. It wasn't the same as when I was with Selene. It was already morning when I arrived home, but my party seemed to still be in full swing. This was how we partied in New Falls, on rare occasions though. Yes, because my dad was the mayor, everyone decided to make themselves at home. A few had gone back home, but because of the drinks, the music, and the food, a lot of people in my pack still stayed behind.When I got into the house, all eyes were on me. Of course, I knew why. They were surprised by the turn of events. It was supposed to be a ceremony to formally accept my mates and introduce them to everyone. But surprisingly, we all left the party. I had no idea where Selene had gone, but I hoped to call her later before going to bed. I knew that I had hurt her feelings somehow. I didn't mean to do that, but it wasn't my fault that I felt a stronger pull towards
After Adele went to her room, her father went into Selene's room and woke her up. When she opened her eyes, he said, "So, Aryan just dropped Adele off and apparently he has a date with her." Selene gasped in surprise, "Really? So, this was why he turned down my invitation. I don't understand why Aryan is treating me this way." "Forget about that," her father said. "We have to speed up our plans." "Alright," Selene replied. "I'm really looking forward to it. Thank you very much. Goodnight, Dad. "Goodnight, princess," he replied and went back to his room.Meanwhile, Adele was too excited to sleep. She was looking forward to her date with Aryan tomorrow and kept thinking about how it was going to be. Right at that moment, Aryan called her. When she answered the call immediately, he asked, "You're not asleep?" "No, I can't sleep. I think I'm too happy," she replied. "Me too. I can't sleep as well. I guess tomorrow is going to go well," Aryan said. "Yea, of course. So, after school
After Adele hung up, she saw her dad standing in front of her and gasped in fright. "You scared me, Dad. I thought you'd be at work.""Yeah, well, I don't feel too well, so I'm home for a few days. Why are you back so early? And from the conversation on the phone, it seems you're going somewhere."Adele was tempted to roll her eyes. She was sure her father had heard her conversation with Aryan, and he knew about their date. Since he wanted to pretend, she decided to play along and replied, "Yeah, I'm going on a date with Aryan. He said he wants to take me out.""Oh, that is really nice," her father said sounding really excited. Adele wondered what he was up to. Yesterday, he seemed quite unhappy. He knew quite well that Aryan was the one who dropped her home, but he never said anything about it, and neither did he try to say hi to Aryan. So why was he acting so excited?"Listen, I have a word of advice for you," he added. "Aryan is very important. Do you understand what I'm saying? It
Aryan waited in his car for Adele, but she did not come out. He kept waiting for over ten minutes and wondered what was keeping her. After a while, he began to honk, but she still did not come out. He took out his phone to call her, but then he saw her standing close to the main road. She was trying to help a little girl cross the road. The girl seemed to be about three. He couldn't see Adele's face because she had her back to him but he could tell she was the one from her clothes and stature.He began to wonder how she came out of the house without his notice. Perhaps she had used the back, and he did not observe because he was inside his car. He kept staring at her back and smiling; she looked so adorable while holding the little girl's hand. The baby, however, was crying, but he couldn't understand why. He saw Adele looking both to her right and left and realized that she wanted to help the child cross the road. Wow, she was really such a nice person. If anything, this was eno
Adele stood there, wondering what went wrong. She checked her time and realized that she had slept off for about twenty minutes. But how could he be upset that she did that? It wasn't enough reason for him to leave. He should have just listened to what happened. She also could not understand how she slept off at such a time when she had been so excited to go on a date with him. She began walking back to the house slowly while trying not to cry. She saw her father who was standing by the door. "What happened?" he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "Aryan just drove off." He shook his head. "You're so worthless. What a waste of time!" As he went into her room, she lay on her bed and began to cry. She picked up her phone and dialed Aryan's number, but he kept hanging up on her. She kept calling until she got tired. Meanwhile, Selene and her dad sat in her room laughing. "Wow, I can't believe I pulled that off, Dad. It was risky though. I'm happy nothing happened to the child."
ARYANI stared at Adele as she tried to come up with an excuse. I knew she was going to lie to me. And when a fellow student came up and slapped her, I wasn't surprised. She had disappointed even me, so what did she have to say? Right at that moment, Selene came up to me and kissed me. She took me by surprise, but then I recalled that I was also her mate and couldn't treat her discriminately, especially because people were watching. I kissed her back and she smiled."Hi, Selene. It's been a while," I said. "I miss you so much," she replied."I was just about to leave now," I said as I turned away from Adele's view. Selene held my hand and said, "Hold on, Aryan. Let's go together. I have a lot to say to you."I looked briefly and noticed that Adele was still staring at me. I could see that her eyes had become misty at this point. However, I ignored the uncomfortable feeling it gave me and said to Selene, "Sure, let's go together." She got into my car and sat in the passenger seat. I
SELENEMy first date with Aryan turned out to be a flop. Despite how hard I tried to pretend that I wasn't upset about it, my face gave me away. I was very angry. Seeing Adele's ex friend, Diana made me even more upset. I hated her so much. I hated her friendship with Adele and how much they loved each other which was why I went to great lengths to make sure I ruined it. However, the foolish girl still had so much faith in Adele. For some stupid reason, she thought she was having a secret conversation with Aryan but I heard everything they said and it hurt me so much. I knew Aryan was being swayed. What I still could not understand was why he liked Adele nonetheless. I was more beautiful than her and everyone else liked me. I was much better than Adele, so why? Why did Aryan feel more attached to her than to me? Even while he was on a date with me, he seemed distracted. I knew it was unplanned and now I regretted that I agreed to go on this date because Aryan might not consent to h
