ADELEAs Aryan threw me out, I stood outside, tears streaming down my face. Once again, I had fallen victim to a trap made by God knows who, and now I had been kicked out of a party that was meant for me. I ran away from his sight, stood by the fence for a while, and finally decided to go to my place of work. I couldn't go back home; I knew what was waiting for me there, so I'd rather spend my time in my place of work. At least I knew my bosses would sympathize with me.On my way out of the alpha's compound, I saw Diana, my best friend back then. She was also coming to the party, although it seemed she was late. She stood for a while staring at me. "You came?" she asked. I nodded, "Yes, I came. I was one of his mates, but once again, I was set up.""Really?" she stared at me in surprise. "You mean he had more than one mate, and you were one of them?" I nodded. "This is my life. I don't know who is doing this to me.""Hold on," she said. "I think I have a theory." "What theory is
ADELEI smiled at my Boss, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Harold. "You're welcome," she replied. "Since you've been through a lot, why don't you go home and get some rest?""No, I want to work," I said."No! We are closed for today. I am thinking of going home, but I still have a few things I need to take care of in my office. I don't want to see you working. Rest as much as you want. If you want to spend the night here, you're welcome to. If you do not want to, you can go home, okay?""Okay," I nodded, went and took a seat, and placed my head and arms on the table. I didn't feel like sleeping, and I didn't want to think about what had happened, so I turned to the very thing that made me happy; 'My drawing book.' I took it out, placed it on the table, and began to draw. I didn't know why I always drew this. My boss came out and saw me."You're still drawing this same place?" she asked."Yes, I don't know. It's so etched into my mind so I'm always drawing it.""Okay, I guess I know," she
ARYANAfter everything that happened, my mood got ruined. I couldn't believe I tried to be nice to Adele, but then she once again did something to disappoint me. After throwing her out of the party, I went back into the hall and addressed the guests once more while holding Selene's hand. When everyone began to enjoy the party, I realized that my parents who were earlier standing beside me had gone inside.I let go of Selene's hand but she held mine almost immediately and wanted us to spend some time alone in my bedroom. I was all excited about it but I needed to hear what my parents had to say first so I told her to give me some time and she reluctantly agreed. I went into the house to meet my Mom and my Dad came out and met both of us. "You have seen what I was saying, right? Have you seen what she's up to?" he asked. "I've seen, Dad," I replied. "I don't know what to do. What do I do?" "You haven't even been made the alpha yet, but she's so proud to pull off such a stunt in my
SELENEI stared at Aryan as he walked out of the room and became so upset. How dare he? It was too soon? We shouldn't rush? Wasn't it too soon when he was with Adele? But now that he was with me, it was too soon. Others would queue for a chance to even hold my hand, but I threw myself at him and yet he came up with such a sorry excuse? How dare he? I was upset, really upset, and when I was upset, it wasn't nice because I did a lot of crazy things. However, I couldn't forget my place. Aryan was my mate and my ticket to a better life, much better than the one I was used to. So I had to pat myself on the head and say, "Suck it up, Selene. If you act harshly, you're going to lose your Luna position." I had anger issues which I struggled to control. A lot of people did not know about this. Perhaps Adele must have figured it out because I always took out my anger on her. But now that she wasn't here, I needed something or someone to vent on. Perhaps I needed to scream or hurt someone,
ADELEWas I dreaming? Because this moment felt as though it wasn't real. Aryan searched for me and came all the way? What could have happened? He threw me out of the party and must have come out probably to call me back in but realized I had left.I would have expected him to go back inside and give up since he seemed so upset with me. This was surprising. What could he want to say to me? It suddenly hit me; he wanted to reject me, but then what about Selene? Oh no! I knew about the pain of rejection. I had heard about it one too many times. I guess I had no choice but to brace myself for the pain.But why would he want to reject me when doing so would affect Selene as well? I thought he liked her a lot. Maybe because of what happened, he had decided that we both weren't worth it. I was so scared. I initially had been excited that he followed me all the way to the cafe', but after my realization, my feet felt heavy.He walked out of the cafe and stood outside, but I took my time, wal
ARYANI got carried away once again. I could not understand why I was so attracted to Adele. My hands moved lower to her breasts as I kissed her but then, I felt someone standing by my car and instantly pulled away. Adele felt the presence as well, so we both stared at one of my windows as I tried to figure out who it was. The person standing outside knocked on the window at the same time, and I wound down my glass and turned off the air conditioner."Oh, I'm so sorry," she said. "I'm... I didn't know Adele was in here, and I was wondering who it was.""I'm sorry too," I replied. "Who are you?""She's my boss," Adele cut in. "This is Mrs. Harold, my wonderful boss.""Nice to meet you, Mrs. Harold," I said."Nice to meet you too," she replied.She stared at Adele and said, "Okay, so when you're done, just lock up, and if you're spending the night here, you can lock yourself in.""Adele smiled at her revealing her beautiful set of teeth as she said, "Alright, goodnight Mrs. Harold." A
SELENEAs I drove back home, tears fell from my eyes. It was hard for me to control them. Nothing had gone the way I'd planned. I had put in so much effort, more than even Adele did, but what did I get in the end? Despite how badly I portrayed her, Aryan ran to her. He'd rather stay with her than me, who was loved by everyone. He told me that we should take things slow, but it was different with Adele. I couldn't take this, and Adele... I was so going to deal with her.As I parked in front of my house, I came out and hurried into the house. My dad was surprised to see me. "What are you doing back home, Selene? This is just past eleven. I mean, I was thinking you'd spend the night at Aryan's. Listen, I've told you before, this is the only opportunity you have. You need to get close to him and not give Adele a chance. You were supposed to convince him to spend the night with you. Why are you back here? Even Adele isn't here....""Dad, don't even talk about that witch," I cried. "Do you k
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
