Alpha Arienne Chapter 1
Amikat’s POV I always find myself in the woods after a long day. Work sucks, all I do is talk to customers all day, and I am not a people person. I work at a local grocery store in the customer service booth. That means I get all of the angry and disgruntled customers. I’d like to think that one day I’ll have a career and a life that I enjoy, but for now, it’s just working to make ends meet. The air is crisp and cold tonight. It’s summer, but I live in Northern Washington in a little town no one’s ever heard of called Greggs. It had just rained a few hours prior, so the foliage is dripping with rain and the soil is wet. This is my favorite scent. Musky, after the rain, mixed with the smell of pine and sap. The moisture has already soaked through the canvas on my Converse from my short walk out to my favorite spot. It’s a little cliff, probably about twenty feet or so, overhanging a little pond covered in lily pads and algae. The frogs are always singing by this time of night. It’s
Alpha Arienne Chapter 2
Arienne’s POV I know that feeling. I’ve felt it before, and I never thought in a million years that I’d feel it again. I stood there, staring at this girl at the end of the hall, her long waist length brown hair in a tight braid down her back gave me a perfect view of her beauty. A little heart shaped face, and the most gorgeous pair of golden brown eyes stared back at me, wide, and confused. I was confused too, damn the Moon Goddess… What a sick sense of humor she has. Bringing me a second chance mate? Today? This was the last place I expected to meet her. I’m not ready. I don’t know if I can handle this yet. I try my best to keep my emotions at bay and not lose it in front of her. I don’t want her, yet still, I have to know her. I approach her quickly, my feet moving me towards her. Arlo is howling in my head, screaming the same word over and over again, as if I didn’t already know what was going on. ‘Mate! Mate! Mate!’ Arlo forwards himself and grabs her face, pulling her close
Alpha Arienne Chapter 3
Amikat’s POV Everyone applauded us as we stood on stage together, and Arienne never let go of my hand. The sensation was unreal. I’ve held other people’s hands before, been in relationships, but just touching his skin was more than anything I’ve ever felt towards anyone. He looks down at me and smiles, and I hate to say I couldn’t smile back. This man has been so hot and cold with me. I feel like I never know what side I’m going to get. After he’s done making his announcements, he helps me off the stage and trails after me like a lost dog as I head back to Carmen and her friends. “Amikat, wait please, can I talk to you?” I turn around sharply and glare at him. “Dude, you hated me an hour ago, and now you wanna be all buddy buddy with me? It doesn’t work like that.” “Please, just stop and listen.” I continue pushing my way past people to the edge of the yard. I start to remember what the girls told me. How I should give him time. I stop and turn to look at him. “Thank you. Can we
Alpha Arienne Chapter 4
Arriene’s POV I didn’t mean it like that. I need to make sure she knows that. Panicked, I jump out of the bed and head to the bathroom door and start knocking, hoping she’ll just let me in. I can feel her hurt in my chest, and I know she took offense. She doesn’t reply to my knocking. I hear her shuffling around in there and occasionally she lets out a deep, skaky breath. I knock again. “Go away!” she yells. “Just leave me alone!” “Kat, I didn’t mean it like that.” “What else would you have meant by telling me I mean nothing to you?” “That’s not what I said!” I’m beginning to grow impatient. She won’t even listen to me. “You need to calm down and listen to me. Let me in, please.” She says nothing. Angrily, I begin to walk away, but right before I reach the door I hear the locking mechanism on the bathroom door click. The cracks the bathroom door open just wide enough for me to see a puffy, red eye. A sharp pain goes through my chest at the sight. I’ve made my mate cry.
Alpha Arienne Chapter 5
Amikat's POVI woke up to an empty bed, Arienne being long gone already. He'd switch me a text saying he was in his office working, and not to disturb him today. Great. It's my birthday, and he doesn't even want to hang our with me. Go me. I decide to deep clean my tv and sitting area after the little get together the girls and I had. I wiped down the table, vacuumed the crumbs out of the carpet and furniture, and then went over to the sink and did all the dishes. Maybe I should go see Carmen. I head down the hall with Jace in tow down to Carmen's room. Knocking at the door warranted no response, so I move on, planning to check the kitchen. She likes to bake, so she might be somewhere down there. This lead was a dead end as well. "Everyone's been pretty busy today, maybe you should just head back to your room," suggests Jace."Sit there and be bored all day again? I don't think so. I'm already not allowed to go outside so it's not fair to confine me to just my room," I argue. Jace
Alpha Arienne Chapter 6
I drop my robe to the forest floor, exposing my naked body to Arienne. He doesn't flinch or turn away at my nudity, and I gather that this might be becasue werewolves are accustomed to this sort of thing. If they're always in the nude after they shift, I'd think they might be a little desensitized to it. I admit I'm a little shy to show myself like this, but it feels okay, and I feel confortable around Arienne. I turn to him to ask for the time, but as soon as I look in his direstion, I know. Fire shoots through every single portion of my body and my breathing becomes labored as I try to keep myself from screaming. Soon, I hear my bones begin to snap and crack, as if trying to rearrange themselves. Of course I don't have to hear it to know it's happening. This is absolutely the most physical pain I've been in, in my entire life. Eventually I can't hold it in anymore, and I begin to scream and howl. As I lay, writhing around on the ground, both Amira and Arienne try to talk me throug
Alpha Arienne Chapter 7
Amikat's POVBeep. Beep. Beep.Just the monotonous sound of a hospital monitor. I hear voices. Someone's there beside me, but my eyelids are too heavy to lift open.Beep. Beep. Beep.I want Arienne. Can someone get me Arienne?Where am I, Ari? Please tell me what's happening.Where are you? I know you're not here. I would feel it if you were here. Where did you go?Carmen's POV"Oh Goddess, she's lost so much blood..." my hands tremble as I keep my fingers clasped around hers. She's going to be so scared when she finally wakes up. It's been a week since her birthday and her first shift. It's highly unusual that she hasn't healed from the attack yet, and the doctors are still looking into why. It would go faster if Arienne were here, but he hasn't even come to see her. If I were Kat, I would never forgive him for that. I know he's got other things going on, but his first priority needs to be her. Occasionally she becomes lucid but every time it's always her wolf, Amira, fronting. The
Alpha Arienne Chapter 8
Amikat's POVI open my eyes, and immediately find myself in an immense amount of pain. I look down and to my dismay, there's several tubes and monitors connected to my appendages. Great.'Oh My Goddess!' howls Amira. 'You are finally here! You do not know what we had to go through to get you back!''How long was I out?' It can't have been for more than a few hours, right?'You have been gone for eight days,' says Amira. 'And I am so glad to see you again! I have missed you so much!'I sit up to see that the room is empty. Where is Arienne?"Hello?" I call out. I hear some mumbling outside the door, and it stops abrubtly after my call. The door swings open and a few women in white coats rush into the room and begin to check all my vitals."We are so glad that you're awake," one of them says. "We were beginning to worry.""I was out for eight whole days?" I question. "Where is Arienne?"The doctors

Alpha Arienne Chapter 22
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
Alpha Arienne Chapter 21
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
Alpha Arienne Chapter 19
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
Alpha Arienne Chapter 18
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. I try to maneuver around him, but he g
Alpha Arienne Chapter 17
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
Alpha Arienne Chapter 16
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. The doctors said that everything was looking good, and that no irreparable damage had bee
Alpha Arienne Chapter 15
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
Alpha Arienne Chapter 14
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. He's been extra warm wit
