Elle was really excited that Damien had mated her and she would finally be the Luna of the pack, she was truly delighted. She had finally gotten what she wanted, which was Damien and she knew that this time nothing or nobody would come in between them because she has finally captured Damien’s heart and he’s all hers.“I am finally Damien’s mate all thanks to that stupid Ariel for acting stupid, she is just a murderer like her parents and I would definitely make her suffer,” she said to herself.The elders were not happy at the news of Damien mating Elle, because she was not his true mate and there will be consequences of mating the wrong woman so they decided to hold a meeting to talk about the issue.“So, why was I called for this meeting?” Damien asked.“Well, it is concerning your recent mating with Elle. We, the elders, called you here to tell you that there would be consequences for mating the wrong woman and not the one given to you by the moon goddess, as it would hurt your righ
Ariel wanted to be alone, she was tired of seeing Layla's face. It made her sick, so sick. She started protesting to be alone, but Layla's hood was something she couldn't free herself from.She continued protesting, not wanting to give up, but Layla wasn't interested in giving up either.After a while of the both of them having a mild fight, Ariel was tired of protesting. Thankfully, Williams started coming towards the room. Ariel was really happy when she heard Williams' voice, she felt a little bit relieved.Layla finally left her when she heard Williams' voice. Everything about him annoyed her his voice especially. She left Ariel and pushed her further into the room. She dragged Williams away from the room and she locked the room, ignoring Ariel's several bangs on the door.She hissed at Ariel's actions and she left, while still dragging Williams to leave the room. Ariel was really tired of everything and everyone. She was resting her head against the wall, when her eyes finally too
Something burned hot in Damien's chest and he dropped his pen, suddenly feeling dazed. It had been occurring since last week and while he had desperately been trying to ignore it, it came back strong each time. His vision blurred and excruciating pain struck him in the chest, causing him to double over. Damien jerked and knocked his chair backward, falling off it. He panted, growling and groaning. Something was wrong and he knew it wasn't with his health. He was in perfect condition again. His wolf raged within him, tearing at his insides and he roared, trying to speak to it. To listen to it. It paid him no heed and he roared with despair and fear that was not his. Ariel. Something was wrong with Ariel. Why could he still feel her that strongly even if he had married and mated with another woman? What sort of bond did they have that refused to be broken even by the natural laws that governed them? He didn't want to care. He shouldn't. Elle was his marked Luna. Only Elle should matte
It was morning now and Damien was really thankful for that because he didn't sleep throughout the night. He was waiting for the break of dawn, so he would continue searching for his mate…Ariel. After getting dressed, he was looking out of the window, staring at sentries loitered about the training grounds, speaking with each other, fighting against each other, arguing at the top of their voices about the rogues and the killings that had been happening around the pack and how the Alpha was doing nothing about it. They whispered of the killer who roamed at night, killing families brutally and they did not shy away from the thoughts of their Alpha possibly being afraid of this killer and if it was the reason why he would not stop running from the enclave. Jaw ticking, Damien wondered if he spoke so loudly just so he could hear it. With his wolf hearing, he picked up their whispers of leaving and joining the next strongest pack after him, since apparently, his pack was in shambles.Damien
Ariel stared and stared out the window, at the enclave beyond, noting the laughter of the people and how easily it would be to join in their carefree laughter--if she could forget everything she had been through all these years. Admittedly, it was beautiful. The pine trees, the snow, the massive gardens with so many women and children taking walks in. She could get used to waking up everyday and being a part of all of it, but she knew deep within herself that she could never be one of them. She belonged somewhere else. She belonged to someone else and here wasn't home for her. He was home. She peered down at her gown of gossamer and the voluminous folds of the skirt she wore. It was a deep purple and it was pretty. One would look at her and think she was a princess from some other realm. But, she hated it.She hated the tightness of it around her chest and how her breasts spilled out of the bodice, surely to please whoever's eyes beheld her. Williams', since he was the only one who was
Ariel stood confusedly in a corner of the room, feeling quite drained from all the prancing about that she’s been doing for a while now. She couldn’t seem to find any way to escape this cage of a room and now, she was beginning to feel quite anxious. She didn’t know how she was going to escape this room when she’s been practically locked in and disallowed from stepping foot out of the room. For most of the day, she’s been prancing to and fro the door and the adjacent window, looking for possible escape routes as well as plotting plans of escape; and after a few minutes of restless prancing, she finally came up with an escape plan, a plan that could at least get her out of here as soon as possible. The only thing left of it was how she was going to hatch the plan, and how she was going to execute it without getting caught. She waited and waited for quite a while, seemingly growing quite uneasy at each passing second; and when the door to the room finally creaked open, it was already re
Ariel found a way to escape the room she was kept in. The hallways were very complex and she didn't know where to begin from, but she kept on running. "I have to find an exit." She thought to herself, as she kept turning left and right and left again. She didn't even know where she was going, her best bet was that she would go somewhere with a window, so that she would jump out."Shit!" she cursed as she saw about three buff looking people, who she suspected were guards as she could sense the energy radiating from their bodies. She quickly hid in a dark corner, praying that her small size would come in very handy. "Weren't they supposed to be on patrol?" She thought, as sweat beads formed around her head. She prayed they would hurry up already, as she couldn't waste more time in one position. If she was going to escape from there, she had to do it fast."Come on, let's get out of here." Ariel let out a sigh of relief as she heard their footsteps dissipate. She waited a while before mov
"What happened?" Ariel found herself in the darkness and then, she opened her eyes to the light. "That's bright!" She groaned, as a headache began to form. She tried remembering where and what she had been thinking about before she remembered. "The moon goddess. Oh, thank you!" She cried out. The moon goddess had talked to her in her unconsciousness and told her exactly what to do. She remembered it all now. "First of all, I have to play mind games with Williams." The moon goddess had given her specific instructions that would help her in doing her best. She wasn't going to escape, she was going to fight them from the inside. She desperately wanted to go back home and she knew she could if she wanted to, but she had something she had to do first for her pack and her mate.She missed him, missed him so very much. She didn't think she would ever miss him like this at any point in her life. She wondered if he missed her too, if he was even looking for her. What if he didn't care about her
"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
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
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
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
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
