Carmen's POV

Things have been really tense since Arienne's meeting with The Council. Literally everyone has to do physical training now, and it's getting really exhausting. It's every single morning. Even on weekends. And it's at five in the morning! I feel like I can never get enough sleep, and I am so not a morning person. At least they've been pairing me up with Leona for the training excersizes, so we can chat while we train. I'm surprised to see that Kat isn't required to attend, but I guess that should've been expected. She's not technically a pack member, and Arienne's made no efforts to fix things with her either.

Having another pack on our territory is also weird. A lot of the Moonstone warriors are staying in Ashland, but all of the higher ranking members get to stay on the second floor of the pack house. They're literally everywhere, and it makes me a little uncomfortable.

I've run into Alpha Elliot a few times, and he seems pretty nice despite what Arienne has said abo

    Amikat's POV Arienne turns away from me, trying to hide his face. "Hey," I spoke, concerned. "What's going on? Are you okay?" "I didn't mean to start crying," he tries to laugh it off. He sniffles and wiped his face with his shirt. I approach him carefully, and sit on the bed with him. He instantly wraps his hands around my middle section and places his head in my lap. "I-" He tries to speak, but he starts to cry softly again. I stroke his hair in my lap as he lets out whatever he's feeling. I don't know what's going on, but it really hurts me to see him like this. He's a very moody person, but I've never seen him break down like this before. "It's okay," I whisper. "I'm here for you, whatever you need." I'm not sure what else I can do for him, unless he tells me what's going on. After a few minutes of me holding him while he cries, he sits up and begins to speak softly. "I've had a really off day, to be honest," he starts. "Why's that?" "I've told you about Layla, and whil

    Amikat's POV "You're a beautiful girl, Amikat," he states. He crooks his head forward and buries his nose in the knape of my neck. "What's this?" He pulls my hair away from my shoulder, revealing the mark that Alpha Arienne had given me the night before. It's mostly healed now, leaving a silverish-blue circle with a star in the middle, kind of like a pentagram, but he star is filled in in the middle. It's honestly bealutiful. I reach up and try to cover it with my hand, but the vampire catches my wrist and pins my hand against the wall. He squeezes tightly, cutting off the circulation to my fingers, leaving a tingling sensation. "You let him mark you already?" he whisper-yells. "How dare you? I wanted you all for myself, and that bastard has to go ruining things for me!" "What do you mean you want me?" I ask. I know the answer already, but that doesn't make me like it any more. "Like I said, you are beautiful, and you are way too innocent... I'd love to be the one to make you scre

    Amikat's POV I wake up from a weird dream the next morning. I wasn't in the astral or anything, but I kept seeing that vampire. The Vessel. I keep thinking about what he told me, that his plans had changed; if he wasn't here to kill me anymore, waht did he want? What did he mean by taking away my innocence? I probably need to tell Arienne about this. He grumbles awake, his hands beginning to roam my body. I turn around to face his sleepy eyes and smile. "I like waking up next to you," he says. "Me too," I reply. It's still early in the morning, and the sun isn't quite up yet. Maybe that means I'll have Arienne all to myself for a little but before he has to return to work. I'm suddenly pulled from my head and back to reality when Arienne plants a kiss on my forehead, sending tingles through my body. He traces his fingers over the spot where he marked me, which is completely healed by now. It sends little traces of pleasure through me, similar to when he marked me, but not as stron

    Arienne's POVI've instructed everyone not to tell Kat about Blood Moon's trade offer. I fear that she might want to do something rash, and I don't want her trying anything before I have time to come up with a solid plan. I went to see Delila today, but Leona had met me at the door stating that Delila was in no shape for visitors at the moment. I really just want a chance to sit down and talk to her about what happened. I'm hurt by it too; Collin was a very good friend of mine, all the way back as far as childhood, and I know what it's like to go through what she's currently experiencing. But if she refuses, I'm not going to force her. She needs to be ready for things at her own pace. My phone lights up with a text, and I'm surprised to see Alpha Elliot's name. Meet me by the lake, I have some news.That can't be good. Though I don't know what he knows that I haven't already come across. I decide to head down with my guard up; I still don't trust him fully.

    Amikat's POV Carmen and I waited for hours for any sign of Samuel. He hadn't been brought down here by the gaurds yet, so that was a good sign at least. But we were starting to get worried that he hadn't showed yet. Carmen and I might have to escape ourselves and meet Samuel out there. "What do you think?" asks Carmen, who's sitting in the corner with her knees pulled to her chest. I sweep my unruly hair out of my face and gaze out the window. It's well into the night at this point. "I'm not sure. He could still be coming; I trust him in that," I reply. Of course he didn't just leave us here. He seemed really adamant in this plan. I begin to think. Maybe we can at least get ourselves out, and meet him. "I have an idea," I tell her. I stand up and cross the cell to the window, and I place my hands on the bars. "What are you doing?" "Just wait..." I focus all my evergy into my hands, and wait patiently. I was able to burn that vampire's face, so maybe I can heat them up enoug

    Carmen's POVLeona brought me to the hospital wing upon my arrival back at the back house, and they've been working on getting the wolfsbane out of my system. Since I can't mind-link again yet, Leona's been giving me updates from the battle happening at Blood Moon. There's both vampires and werewolves fighting, and it seems that we're doing pretty well. Still, I wish I could do more to help. I can't shift yet, and neither can Leona, so even if I didn't have all this wolfsbane in my system, there's still very little I could even do. My birthday is coming up in about a month from now though, and I'm super pumped. "Arienne just finished off Alpha Connor!" Leona says. "We've won!""What about the vampires?" I ask. "It seems they're retreating. They'll be coming home any time here now."I waited for what seemed like forever, confined to this small hospital room with an IV bag attached to my forearm.

    Amikat's POVIt's been about a month since we took down Blood Moon.I've started training with the pack, and I join them three days a week to start out. Delila still hasn't really left her room, and Carmen is completely recovered. Arienne and I are better than ever as well. The sex is good, the conversation is good, and he's pretty decent at finding a balance with me and his work. Before Blood Moon was taken down, it was hard to see him as much as I wanted to, but it's all good now. I've been staying in his room permanantly as well, so even if I don't see him too much on some days, he's always there for me in the night.Elliot's been a good friend too. The Council decided to have them stay around for extra protection in case the vampires try something. It's odd though- we haven't heard a single peep out of them since the last battle. Elliot and I have often found ourselves down at the lake at the same time, and we talk for a little bit, almost every day. He's been a relly nice person

    Amikat's POV I wake up from my nap startled and dripping with sweat. I had a weird dream, but I can't seem to figure out what it was about. As I look around, my room is covered in a thick blanket of darkness, as I had slept through the sunsetting. As my eyes dart around the room, I swear I catch a glimpse of a figure stadning in the far corner of the room. When I whip my head back around to the spot, it weems nothing was really there. Still though, I thought I saw someone. They looked familiar too. I noted a head of blonde hair, but nothing beyond that, as the darkness was cloaking everything in a thick disguise. It's weird that the sun has set, and Arienne still hasn't come to find me. I wander out of my bed and out the door into the hallway to investigate. I turn the corner swiftly and run into somethng hard. I back myself up and find myself staring Elliot in the face. "Sorry about that, didn't see you there," he smiles. "It's fine," I say.

    Arienne's POV Part of me wants to believe her, but I didn't feel an ounce of anything except pain while it was happening. There's no way I can sift through what I was feeling and sort out what Amikat was thinking. I don't know if Elliot would even be bold enough to do something like that to my mate without her consent. She had to have consented to it, or he wouldn't have even tried. Or, she at least had to have been flirting back. I have no way of knowing what was going through her mind. I will never know what really happened. As I try to sift through everything, I keep feeling Amikat tapping away at the mental barrier I've put between her and I. It's annoying, really. I just need to process this all before I can even look at her again. Just thinking about what happened, is eating away at me. I seriously can't believe that she would do something like this to me. A knock sounds at the door to my office, and I tense up. "Who is it?" I deadpan. "It's Samuel, can I come in?" he say

    Arienne's POVWherever Kat is, I've stopped looking for her. I can feel it inside me, exactly what's happening right now. And to think I trusted her. To think I let her mark me. Right now, she is sleeping with someone else. My vision is red as I head up to my room and start pulling her things from my closet. I don't want any of this. I don't want to look at it, to smell it, or to touh her, or anything that belinged to her, ever again. And to think I was running to her becasue I thought she was in trouble. I wasn't in pain becasue she was in pain. I was am in pain because she is sleeping with someone else.How could she do this to me? Is this her sick form of revenge, because of how I treated her in the beginning? She knows how sorry I am. She knows. I will never trust another person to get that close to me, ever again. "Arienne! Are you even listening to me?" I hear someone scream behind me. When I look up from my rage, I see the entire room is a torn apart mess, with Carmen stan

  • Alpha Arienne   Chapter 20

    Arienne's POV Eventually, I had to slip away from Kat's arms in order to finish some other tasks I've been putting off. Today has already felt so long, and it always feels like there's more to do. I worry about leaving her by herslef, becasue I feel like she's got a knack for getting herself into trouble. With Elliot around, I'm worried he might try to take advantage of her. She's very quick to trust others as I've seen first hand, and they've been getting closer. Until I can get to the bottom of him, I want to keep Kat safe. I know this goes against my previous plan, but I'm hoping I can have her keep getting close to him and keep her safe all at the same time. I don't think he'd try anything too bold, anyways, not with me around. He knows I'd kill him if he tried to hurt her. I leave the bedroom after Kat and I got dressed, giving her a kiss goodbye. I promised her I'd be back before nightfall to be there when her and Carmen try to train her powers. After travelling over to t

    Carmen's POVThe hot water from the shower pours over my body, turning my skin beat red. I stand there for a good long while, just letting the heat consume me. I slide my foot back and forth over the tile at the bottom of the shower, watching the little waves of water flow back and forth. My shower drain has been kind of plugged for a while, but I keep forgetting to tell Arienne so he can have someone fix it. 'Guess who?' says an unfamiliar voicem rather unexpectedly. I whip my head around the bathroom to see where it came from, but I find no one there. "Who are you? Where are you?" I call out loud, trying not to sound startled. 'My name is Kioshi, it's nice to finally meet you,' the voice says again, and this time it clicks. It's my wolf. My wolf! They're finally here! I almost slip and fall in the shower from my excitement in the slough of soapy water gathering below my feet. 'You seem very excited, I am excited as well, but I have something to tell you.''What is it?' I think to
