Ariel was thinking again. It seemed like that was all she did these past days. She had been thinking too much since last week, when Alpha Damien had given every slave the day off except her. He had done it as a punishment because she hadn't slept the night before that day.That day, she had worked her butt off. She had been working, doing hard work for many years now, and she thought she knew what it was, but how wrong she had been. How wrong she had been, to assume what she had been doing these past years was hard work, when she had done something far greater than it on that day when there was no other slave around to assist her.They had all looked happy after the Alpha had announced the day free for them and had left only her in the kitchen without glancing back at her.That day she worked and worked like never. That day, Her whole body ached like she had been thrown down from a tree, and she had been exhausted, almost to the point of giving up, staying in one place and willing the
Ariel couldn't phantom how and why Damien had fallen Ill, but he had. She also couldn't understand why she happened to be among those that knew about his illness. She found out about this because she accidentally eavesdropped on Elle and Alex's conversation as she was passing by, she couldn't help but listen.“Elle, you need to leave her right now,” Alex said, as he tried dragging her away from the door to Damien's room because it looked like she wanted to barge in.“Why won't you let me in? What's wrong with him? Is he okay?” She asked repeatedly."He specifically ordered that no one come into his room, or disturb him already, and you're currently trying to disobey his orders.”“I'm not anyone, I'm his lover. I deserve to see my man anytime I want to,” she said, not giving up from the power tussle.“He ordered that no one come near his room.” Alex, was at this point getting very annoyed. It was very visible on his face, but he still didn't make Elle budge, she couldn't care less about
Ever since Damien was in bed because he was sick, Ariel had been taking care of him, watching over him day and night. During this time, she became a little bit attached to him and she also got used to taking care of him.She never complained about taking care of him or him disturbing her too much. She took care of him and she enjoyed every bit of it.When the doctor told her that for Damien to get well really soon, he had to be in bed for six days. She made sure that she obeyed the doctor, taking care of him throughout those six days.And now, after six days, Ariel was so happy to see that Damien was completely fine, just like the doctor said.Ariel sat down at the edge of the bed, watching Damien while he slept. He looked really peaceful and at rest.She couldn't stop staring at him and then her eyes went to his lips. His lips hitting against each other as he sleeps, made her feel..good. she smiled to herself at the memories that were starting to creep into her head.A few seconds lat
Ariel stormed out of the garden, wiping furiously at the tears that rolled down her cheeks. Her chest caved in painfully and she still had a lot of tears to give out. She was exhausted and in pain. Tired of everything. Maybe it was why she blew up and yelled at him. Maybe she was out of line. Maybe she shouldn't have spoken to him that way. He was Alpha after all. What did she expect? That he would help her get the apple she had been reaching for? All she had wanted to do was make a pie. It's not like she had been plucking them for her own use. He put her here and made her serve. She was just doing her job. Who was he to tell her what she could do and what she couldn't do with respect to her job? Yes. He was the Alpha but it was enough. She wasn't the one who killed his parents. She did not even know what drove the actions her parents took. She knew absolutely nothing of it all but regardless of how much she cried, how much she begged, how much she pleaded, he would never listen. He
Preparations for the celebration of the moon festival started the next morning after the night of the blood moon. The festival usually took place on the night after the blood moon, and for a busy day of the festival because of all manner of preparations, it was going to be an even busier night that day. It was a normal ritual day for the wolf pack and all members partook in the celebrations and the ritual rites involved.Damien, locked inside his room, was pissed about what had occurred the previous day. He had not even had much sleep since finding out that his long awaited mate was the daughter of his parent’s killer and the maid who he enjoyed humiliating. He had even almost killed her once amidst countless thoughts of doing so and now the one he considered his enemy was to be his mate. He became more angry just at the thought of it. He had expected someone else of more class and dignity, not a common peasant whose name had been dragged through dirt every single day among his pack an
Ariel's bottom lip shook as she trailed her fingers around her swollen eyes. Her eyes were swollen and puffy with dark circles under as she heaved out an exasperated sigh. She removed the hair band that she used in tying her hair, taking a clearer look at herself in the mirror. Her hair tumbled over her shoulder as she forced out a smile that made her cringe instantly.She shifted her gaze from the mirror, sauntering to the wardrobe whose door had broken. She pulled out a hoodie and a pair of jean trousers as she removed the cloth she was wearing earlier. She slipped her legs through the trousers, letting out a wince because of how the hard material of her jeans brushed through a wound that was still healing.She zipped up her hoodie, covering her head with the hoodie's cover. She pulled the cover forward a bit and all this was in a bid to hide her puffy eyes that had swollen because of the tears that she had drowned herself in. She would never forget how she bawled her eyes out last n
The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky, casting long shadows on the earth, the trees rustled, its leaves creating a melodious sound of nature as they danced with the calm breeze, the sky was ablaze with the twinkling sky, like a blanket of stars that spread into infinity.The occasional howls of patrolling wolves broke the silence of the night as the constant hoots of owls and chirps of crickets sang their own sweet song. It was a calm cold night, calm enough for two lovers to express their feelings.The crescent moon casted its dim light on the shutters of a window reflecting through on two mates lying on the floor of the light room.It was magical as the moon reflected its light on them, blessing them.Ariel was wrapped in the arms of Damien as they lay peacefully on the floor of the light room, with soft smiles on their faces; they let out soft snores wrapped in each other's warmth, they looked peaceful together.Their wolves were happy to be in each other
"What the fuck did I do!" Damien yelled grabbing his air, he placed his room wondering how he had ended up with her in the Lightroom."This was a huge mistake"he exclaimed taking a seat on his bed, he stood up again grunting as he paced his room."She must think that I now care for her, that I now accept her as my mate, how absurd!!""I have to correct this, I ha-" a knock on his door cuts his mumbling as he stares at the door. He wasn't in a mood for visitors but the sweet scent of Elle brings a mischievous smile to his face."Come in" he said, placing a sweet smile on his face."Damien" Elle called entering his room with a flirty smile on her face."I have missed you" she said pouting her lips, she wraps her hands around his neck biting her lips."And I have missed you to baby"His eyes roamed around her body as he bit his lower lip in lust wrapping his hands around her waist, Elle shivered from the effect of his dark obsidian eyes on her her insides heated warmth spreading all over
