Arianna's POV
My screams and shouts, I wasn't sure, left the dungeon because no one came. I cried till the guards finally came to pull me out of the dungeon. It was time. I didn't struggle nor did I cry anymore. I was going to die whether I cried or not.
The entire pack had come to gather, in the same place where I was mated just a night ago, I was going to be executed. I watched how people spoke angrily, cursing and swearing at me for killing their Alpha. I wanted to tell them that I didn't do any of those things I was being accused of, but as Nicole had said, no one would believe me.
How do I tell the pack that their Alpha had killed his own brother for power? Who would believe me? Instead, that would be added to my crime.
I am already a murderer and a cheater in their eyes. I am a criminal, and there was nothing I could say right now that would vindicate me.
My eyes made their way to Lucas and Nicole, I could clearly see the devilish smirk on their lips as they watched me being tied and pushed to my knees.
I dared to silence the words of the crowd as they were saying hurtful words. But no matter how hurting their words were to me, it was never compared to the pain of seeing my sister and my mate plotting my death together. The tears in my eyes were finished, but the pain remained.
With clenched fists, clenched jaws, and eyes teary, I said to the moon goddess,
“Avenge my death. Cause the Dark Wand Park will never have peace until the truth is out. Avenge the death of Alpha Brian and I, moon goddess, this is my last and humble request”
My head was pushed to the wood, my eyes remained on Alpha Lucas and Nicole. I could see with my side eyes as the sharp axe was raised up by a giant man behind me. Breathing out like it was my last breath, I closed my eyes when I saw the axe coming down to my neck.
“Mate!” I whispered.
“What?!?” Both Lucas and I said it at the same time.
My eyes widened as I looked around myself. No way!
I looked down at myself, no scratch on my body, then I touched my head, it was in place. The scene before me looked familiar, I had seen it before.
Bloody hell! I exclaimed mentally when I saw what was happening. Did time just rewind for my sake, or is this a dream? I wondered.
Then I felt this cool breeze caress me, causing me to shiver in a delightful way. I felt the sweet presence and I just couldn't help but feel it was the moon goddess. A calm voice whispers,
“Here's your chance. Use it wisely”
My eyes closed as tears gathered in them. I never believed that this was the plan of the moon goddess. She did me good, she did me too good, and I will forever be eternally grateful.
Opening my burning angry eyes, I looked at Lucas who said,
“Mate?”
Looking at his face now, I could see that it wasn't a sweet smile I thought it was, but a disgusting one. He was never smiling at me, he was disgusted by me.
“Wow, one of the Alpha brothers got mated. The other seems to still be waiting” someone in the crowd said and I smirked. Of course, Alpha Brian was still alive.
The moon goddess had decided to bring both of us back to life. I will make sure to really use this opportunity very well.
“My mate,” Lucas smiled, a very pretentious smile. How come I didn't see all these before? How could I not have seen it? I raised my brows at him, waiting for him to come and announce to the public that I was his mate and Luna. And he did. He held my hand and raised it,
“My mate, my Luna!”
“I refuse!” I replied loudly for everyone to hear. The crowd gasped in shock. No one dares reject the Alpha. The smirk remained on my face as I watched the man turn to me with narrowed eyes.
“What?” He asked in a deadly manner, I fear no one except the moon goddess.
“I refuse!” I spat out loudly again. Nicole had made me understand how irritating, annoying, and hurtful to the Alpha's ego to refuse him. More reason I did it this way. And this was only the beginning.
My eyes searched for my sister, who had a deep frown on her face. Ah, have your man. Let the dark hearts pair with one another, I don't give a fuck.
Lucas opened his mouth to speak, but before his words could come out of his mouth, I walked away from him and headed straight to where Alpha Brian stood as he watched us.
“Can I be your mate and Luna?” I asked him, and he narrowed his eyes on me. I could see he found the scenario funny and annoying at the same time. Something in me quickly snapped telling me that he was about to reject me, so I said to him in a whisper,
“Trust me, you won't want to reject me. I know how to make you the next Alpha of Dark Wand pack. All that you need to get to that throne, I can give it to you. All you need to do is accept me publicly as your mate and Luna. It will also be a great way to publicly crush your brother's ego”
He looked at me like I had grown two heads, and I smiled sweetly at him. It wasn't fake like Lucas's own, but a real genuine smile because I was happy that he was alive. This was the same Alpha that had died in my hands.
I closed my eyes and opened them again, the pain and tears replaced with fire in those eyes as I prayed he would accept my offer.
Alpha Brian, in front of everyone, raised my right hand up as he announced loudly,
“My mate, my Luna!"
Silence enveloped the place, but I didn't care, I smiled at him as I mouthed a thank you, but he scoffed as he said in a low voice,
“Let's see how you can get me the throne”
I continued attacking Victor, who didn't give up, as he just continued fighting me back, but after a while, I was able to wound him severely.I took up the silver dagger that they wanted to use on the chief and his family, and killed them both stabbing them to death."Are you all okay?" I asked the chief and his family who had been sitting on the floor watching us all this while."Yes we are fine, and thank you for saving us from these horrible people," the chief thanked me, while I just helped them all up."Thank you so much Alpha Ariana," The two guards also thanked me, while I just smiled at them."We will be leaving now, but there is no Pack here again, because I have ended everyone here for what they did to my son, and myself," I told them, while they kept calm as they stared at me."I know you might be wondering why I did it, but I couldn't stand the fact that my kid was killed by those people, and they were living their best life," I explained, as tears clouded my eyes again."
More rage filled my heart, as I couldn't stand it anymore."We are going to the nightshade pack tonight," I said, standing in front of Brian who looked at me with a questioning look."We are going to end time tonight for what they did to our son," I spoke up again, and just then he nodded agreeing with me totally.I didn't hesitate, as I walked away immediately. ALPHA BRIAN'S POVI quickly got into my car, and off I went to my cousin Logan pack.Once I arrived there, he welcomed me wholeheartedly, as we both had our seats."Alpha Brian, to what do I hold this visit?" He asked me, grinning from ear to ear, as I cleared my throat immediately."I need your help," I told him, with all seriousness."With what bro, just tell me anything." He said, and I sighed softly, as I finally explained to him, how I wanted to attack the nightshade pack tonight."So you have finally decided to forget about Ariana, and kill them all?" He asked me, as he took up a glass of wine which was on t
ARIANA'S POVI finally decided to take a break after running for so long. I transformed back to my human form, as I sat under and had my seat under the shade of a tree.It was night time already, and I think I still had a long way to run, since I decided to take the woods.I didn't escape with a car, so I had to go through the woods, so that I could be able to get home early enough, but until now, I still haven't gotten back to Brian Pack, and to be honest I'm really so tired right now.All I wish for right now is to have a good sleep at least. I really deserve it, but my mind really wants me to get to Brian's house as soon as possible.I miss my children so much, and I bet they also do the same, so I really had to do something. I thought to myself, as I took a deep breath as I glanced around."I need to sleep a little, once I wake up, I will continue my race, and I bet I will be back at Brian's pack by morning," I said out loud.I stood up from where I was seated, and sta
"There is no need for that investigation Chief, we already know the enemy already, and here she is," Victor pointed to me, as he stood up on his feet."She had attacked me before, even though her face was covered I can tell she was the one," he spoke further, as I swallowed hard, and just stared on."Yes Chief, Victor is right, we should just punish her already," one of the elders added, while I still kept calm, waiting patiently for the chief to respond to them.All the elders kept talking about how they wanted me to be punished right away and the kind of punishment they wanted for me."Silent everyone," the chief screamed with his voice showing total command, and immediately the noisy meeting room became calm."She is not guilty of this offence, and I believe the person guilty is freely living his life," the chief said, making everyone gasp.They were totally not expecting the chief to say something like that, and to be honest, I also wasn't expecting the chief to also say something
I took a deep breath as I finally moved back from the gate of the dungeon, and had my seat since I was already so tired of standing.I soon heard a sound of footsteps approaching, and quickly stood up again, as I rushed towards the door, and stood there waiting for the person."Is there nobody here?" I heard Damon's voice, making me frown immediately, and realized he was the one."No there is no one here," I finally responded to him, as I held onto the door tightly."Where did he go?" He asked me, and I opened my mouth to tell him, but stopped, as part of me told me to lie to him."He went to ease himself, " I lied, while he sighed softly."Do you know where he kept the keys," he asked me, while I quickly shook my head."No I don't, but don't tell me you want to free me from this dungeon without anyone's approval?" I asked him, as I waited patiently for his response."No, I can't just do that," he said, making me sigh softly, as I took a deep breath."Okay that's better, but what do y
"Did you have anything to eat?" I asked them, and they looked up at me."We have only had breakfast," Ava responded to my question, making me glance at the wall clock.I gasped seeing that it was noon already. "I can't believe this, please come with me," I said, as I quickly rose to my feet, and I held their little hands on my both hands, as we made our way out of my office.Why would the cook starve my kids? I thought within me, as we continued strolling.Once we arrived at the dining room, and made them both sit down, as I made my way into the kitchen.Just as I had thought the cook was actually there, and immediately I stepped in, she noticed my presence and turned to look at me."Alpha, do you need your food now?" She asked with a calm voice, making me frown immediately."How dare you starve my children," I barked, making her shiver and moving away."I left my children in your care, and you decide to starve them right?" I pulsed for a while, before I finally continued."Because I
