Ariel watched him walk away in anger as she held onto her arm, she had been injured badly. In tears, she locked the door behind her as she examined her injuries. Why’d all these have to happen? Why’d he have to find out about how his parents had died just when she thought the moon goddess had listened to her prayers? Was it that she wasn’t destined to be happy? Was it that this was her life now? She closed her eyes as memories of how he’d tortured her hit her again. He’d now made it his daily routine to hit her and it hurt… it hurt so badly, especially when she knew that he was her mate and he knew equally as much.

She closed her eyes and let the fresh memories of the pain that had just been inflicted on her flooded her head. He’d dragged her as he threw her to the door without any mercy while she’d screamed in pain. She’d not even recovered from the pain that was inflicted on her a few days before and hence, she hurt her arm. Not waiting for her to even recover, he grabbed her hair.

  • Alpha Damien    Windless

    The night was still, windless and clear, as a result of which, every sound was distinct and intensified, the howl of a wolf all the way from the neighboring pack border, could be clearly heard in the woods. On this night, the natural black hugs the stars as a mother to her newborn, the road is midnight under the cloud, yet beyond is the dawn. A cold night, a lucid moon, heaven's eyes shine in the black as a divine watchful mother. It borrows body heat as if it were a cup of sugar, yet when the new light of day returns it with honeycomb.The sound of heavy footsteps rang in Ariel's ears, but she was too deep in her sleep to open her eyes. The cell door creaked open as a figure entered the dark room, closing it softly. He walked slowly to where Ariel layed on the floor and knelt down, running his hands through her legs, Ariel is startled as she opens her eyes wide ready to scream, only to be stopped by his large hands."Wh-" she mumbled, struggling against him. "Shut up Ariel , it's me,"

  • Alpha Damien    Alex

    Damien paced restlessly around his room angry and frustrated. He had a bad temper which was almost impossible to subdue whenever triggered because of his wolf nature, apparently and also because he was Alpha. The rage, lust and anger that came with it was sometimes uncontrollable. That rage was taking its toll now on Damien with the thought of his parents’ murders constantly. He kept walking around from left to right and back around his room critically thinking of how to capture the Rogues’ Alpha.The Rogues wanted him dead equally for holding some of their people captive and making slaves out of them, but he did not intend to grant them such an opportunity. Most of his plans to capture him had failed and each time, he took it hard and exerted that frustration on anyone. The pack in training, Alex , Elle and even Ariel . Basically anyone but especially Ariel . He punished her every time he got frustrated by Rogues, saying that it was her people and that she should continue to suffer no

  • Alpha Damien    A bad turnaround

    Layla smiled to herself. There was joy in her heart. Their plan of long ago was blossoming and almost close to succeeding. Who would have thought that it would? It showed that patience paid sometimes, even if it was hard to wait for some things to manifest. Waiting was grueling and tiring and frustrating too, but when doing some things, you just had to be patient. If you rushed into them without exercising any patience, things like that were doomed to fail. She understood that and it was why she'd exercised excruciating patience on this particular issue.Damien and Ariel 's relationship was crumbling. It was falling apart into crumbs and the two people involved in the relationship didn't seem like they wanted to salvage it, or rather, whatever was left of it but that didn't bother Layla. She was even happy about it. She was even overjoyed. The falling apart of their relationship showed that both of them were drifting apart day by day and it also signified one other thing.It signified

    Fiddling with her fingers, Ariel trudged up the stairs, trying to calm all her nerves by taking a walk around the house. One thing she fervently prayed for was for her not to bump into anyone. Then, she suddenly remembered that no one was in the house except for her. She has been bothered by so many things that it slipped her mind that she was the only one in the huge mansion. She beamed with a smile, spinning along the hallway when her stomach made a growl.She contemplated either turning back to the kitchen to stuff her mouth with food or continuing her journey of exploring the mansion. Even though her life has been filled with nothing but misery, she still decided to create happiness in her sadness. She turned back to the kitchen, opened the fridge's door, and stuffed her mouth with the snacks preserved there. It was much so no one would notice that she picked something for herself.Heaving a sigh of relief, she ran up the stairs. This was the first time she would experience what it

    She stood frozen in shock as she was unable to comprehend nor process his words. Damien was just watching for her expression in case he would see unwillingness to forgive him but she just stood there staring back at him. He cocked a brow. Finally, she snapped out of it and spoke. "What did you just say?" She questioned in disbelief. "I said I'm sorry!" He repeated more firmly and slowly this time."Wow! I never expected that but I have to ask, what exactly are you sorry for?" She responded."I... I'm sorry for everything." He replied tentatively.She sighed inwardly already defeated.She knew that as this was Damien's first rodeo when it came to apologizing, this was all she would get. She had no problem accepting it and forgiving him. The issue was trusting that he would not repeat his violent and abusive attitude towards her. How could she be sure that he wouldn't come back tomorrow and hit her again with the justification that he was angry or that he missed his dead parents. Even with

  • Alpha Damien    Damien

    Damien stood in front of the palace maids whose loud wailing filled the air. The way they cried, even their sniffles annoyed him but he did nothing to stop them. He thought about lining them up to begin their torturing all over again but he thought against it. What if they were all saying the truth?His eyes quickly scanned their sweat and tears slicked face but he saw nothing aside from pain on their features. They also looked equally as confused as he was; the only difference was that their faces were contorted with pain.He was tremendously confused and angry too; and no matter how much he did to the palace maids, none of them seemed to know about Ariel ’s whereabouts.He has tortured them in every way possible, whipping, starvation ,threatening, you just name it but their answers were the same. None of them knew where she had gone to and hadn’t seen her since the previous day.Sighing in frustration, he angrily dismissed all of them and they all rushed away from him; seemingly happ

  • Alpha Damien    Urge to kill

    Damien's vision bled into red and every thought in his head eddied out. His focus turned razor-sharp and all he could see was her. Ariel. He didn't remember running. Or half-shifting. He didn't remember how he got there. All he knew, all he heard was her scream for help. All he could smell was her terror when the wolf raised its hand to attack her. All he could feel was rage. And his fury knew no bounds. No one, no one else touched her. No one. Not without consequence. In a blink of an eye, he was there, leaping on the wolf that attacked Ariel . The wolf was nearly as big as Damien but Damien was twice as deadly. He swiped at the wolf, drawing blood and though the wolf swiped back, he barely felt the pain register. The urge to hurt, to kill filled up his thoughts until he could see or hear no more. Until all he wanted was to stop hearing the wolf's pounding pulse. Damien saw an opening in the wolf's attack and he pounced without hesitation. He clamped his jaw around the neck of t

  • Alpha Damien    Suffocated

    She felt suffocated as she reached for her room, guilt pouring through her head as she walked past rooms and different doors. Alex and Damien were fighting…. Two childhood friends were in such a fight and it was all because of her. She held onto her head as she made for the knob of the door of her room, she was done with all this, she had become extremely frustrated. If Elle were to ever find out about the fight between Alex and Damien, she was sure she would never hear the end of it. She twisted the knob and pushed the door open before walking into the room and then shutting the door right behind her. She inhaled deeply as she reached for a glass of water but then on the glass making contact with her lips, she realized she wasn’t even thirsty so she kept the glass back. She fell back on the bed as memories of their fight kept on troubling her. Was she that bad of a person? Was she so bad that a man had to go for someone else even when he knew she was alive? When he knew his mate was

  • Alpha Damien    The end~

    "Uggh!" William groaned as he arched his back. He loosened his grip on Damien and staggered backwards. Damien coughed and sat up tiredly. He finally noticed that an arrow had pierced the back of William's head. There was not healing or coming back from that!Damien sighed in relief and looked around for the person who shot it. From the balcony on the second floor, he saw Elle standing there with her bow drawn. She seemed to be shocked by what she had just done as she stared wide eyes at her bow.Damien diverted his gaze back to William, who had now collapsed on the floor. He seemed to stare longingly in a particular direction as the light faded from his eyes and he went on a journey to the underworld. He looked in the direction William was looking and saw that he was staring at Ariel!Annoying prick! He just didn't want to let her go, even in death? Damien stood and walked towards where William lay. He used his feet to turn William's head in a different direction. He knew that his acti

  • Alpha Damien    Marking

    After they both marked each other, they shared a really nice kiss and after so many hours of talking, imagining their futures together, they finally slept.The next morning, Ariel jolted from the bed and she opened her eyes instantly. She looked around and she saw Damien sleeping peacefully, with his hand lying lazily on her waist. She had thought that her mating with Damien was a really good dream that she badly wanted to come to pass.She touched her neck and she could still feel the heat from last night. She pushed her head into the pillow and smiled. It wasn't a dream at all. It really happened. She turned her head to face Damien . She didn't want to wake him up, but she couldn't help touching his face, nose, hair and literally everything her hand could touch at that moment. She was touching his hair, when her eyes went to his lips and she started using her index finger to trace the little line around his lips. She was really enjoying what she was doing and she started laughing to

    "Find him!" Damien 's voice boomed across the kitchen and Ariel flinched as well as the rest of the sentries who scampered out after his outburst. "Hey," He said softly, reaching for Ariel, but she flinched again, breathing hard and fast, staring at the direction in which Williams had gone, eyes wide with fear and despair. "Ar--" A whimper escaped her and he hated that he could smell her fear. He hated that she trembled so much. It hadn't been long since he had made her go through the same fear. He had made those tears drop from her eyes, broken her spirit, broken her heart, and...seeing her now, with the same fear in her eyes...he hated himself for everything he'd done to her. "Ariel," he said, barely able to hear his voice over his raging heart. Ariel didn't either as her sobs began in full earnest. It was like he didn't exist. She couldn't see him. Or hear him. She was scared out of her mind. "Ariel!" He roared, unable to keep his wolf at bay. Her gaze snapped to him and her so

    When they were all done and once everybody had departed and gone to celebrate, Ariel walked up to Damien , Alex and Elle at the podium."Looks like someone's gonna get a beating" Alex snickered. Come on Elle. Let's leave them alone""Ariel , I can explain" Damien tried defending"Well I'm listening" she said as she put her hands on her waist and stood akimbo. She wasn't angry at all but it was very fun to see him fidget, this alone made her laugh"Why are you laughing??" He asked her clearly suspicious, someone who laughed when they were angry are psychotic people"Because it's funny. And just so you know" she poked him in his chest as she said "just because I'm laughing doesn't mean I'm not angry. You could have at least warned me. I was really worried"It was if as the days went on he fell for this wonderful woman standing right in front of him more and more"I'm sorry. We're sorry. It won't happen again" he said, giving her a hug which she deeply sank into. She had missed him and hi

  • Alpha Damien    Long day

    Damien 's legs finally remembered their functions and they ran to meet Ariel. He instantly hugged her as he saw her standing right in front of him. He felt really happy to see her, he really felt so good. Only Ariel could give him that type of happiness and satisfaction. He started beaming at her, forgetting about anything that didn't involve her. He even forgot about Alex, who was the one that even woke him up with the mindlink.Ariel ignored the burning sensation that she was feeling in her injury and she buried her face into his chest. She started crying and Damien raised her head up. "Hey, hey. Why are you crying?" Damien asked her. Ariel ignored the question and she buried her face into his chest again, while crying. Damien just rubbed the back of her head slowly, trying to make her stop crying. He could feel the wetness of her tears soaking his top. He raised her head and he told her to come into the room.The both of them went into the room, her hands in his hands, with his fing

  • Alpha Damien    Alex

    When Ariel saw Damien looking like he was half dead in Alex's hands, her heart skipped so many beats and she ran towards him. At the moment, she was just thinking one thing; Damien . Her eyes were so focused on him. When she was just a few steps away from him, Alex stretched his hand forward, to stop her from moving any closer to Damien. When he did that, she looked up at him with confusion written all over her face. She didn't know why Alex stopped her from hugging Damien when he clearly needed her hug more than ever. She ignored his stretched out hand and she tried moving closer to him, but this time, she continued pushing his hand. He was too strong of her and after a few more failed trials, Ariel finally gave up. She backed away from Alex and Damien and she left the way for Alex to bring Damien in.When Alex brought Damien in, Ariel seized the opportunity to ask him why he didn't want her to help him with carrying Damien inside. She folded her hands against her chest and she looked

  • Alpha Damien    Hurting

    After Alex mindlinked Jasmine to come to the hospital with Tobias so that they could find Damien, both of them quickly arrived at the hospital as fast as they could and together. They began the search for Damien. Three of them searched high and low for Damien, but they did not find him. They searched every nook and cranny of the hospital, but they still didn't find him. By that time, they were worried.How could Damien have left the hospital when Alex had specifically informed all the doctors and nurses not to allow him to leave there? They were certainly never going to hear the end of this if Damien was found. Alex couldn't let them go scot free after what they just did. He had clearly given them specific orders, but they had failed to carry them out, as he had asked them to. They had let the Alpha go out of the hospital and roam around on his own, without the protection of anyone when he wasn't feeling too well. Alex vowed to deal with them mercilessly after this, but they had to fin

    The bright afternoon sun shone on Elle’s face, thus making her squint into the brightness. It was late afternoon, and she was in one of those moods where she only wanted to be with her bundle of joy.Her hair flew into her mouth when a wild air blew and she quickly chugged it out as she tried to talk, but ended up chuckling when her baby laughed at her.Everything She did was quite funny to him; even when she was at her lowest, he still always found something to laugh at or laugh with.Right now, she was sitting at a corner on the floor of the archery field, enjoying the view and the breezy atmosphere whilst watching her baby boy bounce ever so energetically around the open field chasing butterflies but frowning whenever they flew past him.With a smile on her face, she got up and began dancing around as her son cheered her on gleefully. To Elle, nothing else mattered aside from him and the fact that he was happy, not even her own life mattered.Just as they were busy dancing around ea

    Damien returned to the room in the hospital where Ariel laid, her condition now worsening. He entered to see the doctor and nurses around her trying to examine her condition. The doctor there was checking the life machine they had placed Ariel on and the nurses all stood too watching him and awaiting his directives. Damien inside the room now became confused as to what they were doing there. He had left her side not long ago and she was perfectly okay so he wondered what the problem might be now as anger began to build within him. He began demanding from them what was wrong and what they were there doing to her. Restless and impatient for an answer, he began snapping at everyone there. They tried to calm him down but failed in the attempt. The doctor who was trying his best to keep Damien calm gave up as he saw the Alpha already raging after hearing the news that Ariel ’s pulse had slowed.“Get Alex here immediately!” the doctor ordered one of his nurses.Quickly, the nurse Mindlinked
