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
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
