Alpha LanceI stare at the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen and I find it hard to look away.They hold doubt and sadness which am sure I caused. If I could change everything and meet her again, I wouldn't treat her like I did.I regret it every single day, I even didn't mean every hurtful word I said to her. I can't compare her to any bitch I have fucked because she's special. In my entire existence, I kept losing everything that mattered to me. I thought I will lose her too and decided she would be better off without me. Only that I was lying to myself.It's me who can't stay away. Especially seeing how the unmated male wolves in my pack, keep sending glances in her direction.Also, I always thought I didn't have a mate, and I was okay with that because I knew I was not capable of loving anyone. People call me all kinds of names for a reason.My heart holds no other emotion than hate. I don't know why but everything around me and life itself disgusts me. That's why I don't
Lance"Is she asleep?" Mirabel whispers lowly like she'll wake her if she raised her voice any higher.Her breaths are steady so I am assuming she is."She is" I mumble staring at her face. Cleo walks back into the room and her eyes go straight to Ariel. She has been helping me since my parents died and she's more like my guardian.She makes sure vampires don't get any close to this pack again, but it looks like one of my wolves is betraying me. I will be delighted to deliver a very cruel death to that traitor.Vampires are the creatures I despise the most. From their bloodthirsty cunning traits and always craving for power.They took everything away from me and replaced it with a cold heart. They ambushed my pack and killed almost everyone in it, for what? Simply because they couldn't hold in their fucked up blood urges.I was fifteen when that happened and was forced to grow up quickly, taking the position of alpha after my dad's death.I watched them drink my parents dry before to
LanceI push the door to my room using my foot and switch on the lights before walking to my bed.Laying her on the bed covers, I contemplate on whether I should change her because the clothes she's in look uncomfortable to sleep in.I will just get her my shirt.I have never changed a woman before and I hope she won't get mad when she wakes up in different clothes.Goddess am sure am the last person she wants to see her naked.I take one of my grey t-shirts which I know will cover most of her body and walk out of the closet.Lifting her upper body up, I gently pull out the top through her neck and she groans in protest, she's likely feeling disturbed.She has a black lacy bra on and I admire everything about her. Her breasts are full and pointed unlike what I have been seeing.If only I knew, I would have considered waiting.To think she has never been touched by any other man just makes her more special.I grab the waistband of her shorts and drag them down making my wolf groan in ap
ArielIs this really alpha lance?Why is he behaving differently? To be honest, my mate scares the hell out of me. He's completely up to something or maybe the mate bond is making him this way.I hope for the latter.Either way, am just gonna live in the moment. Revel in the calm and collected mate, before the sadist lance resurrects.When I woke up to find him changing me, I feared if I said or reacted negatively he would snap at me, like typical Lance.So I just acted like it wasn't a big deal but I was dying and shaking inside.What if he doesn't like my body? What if he likes thick and busty women?'Fuck Ariel stop with the what ifs' Celine warns and for the first time I consider listening to her, self doubting will just do me more harm than good.I take out his shirt and deeply inhale it, the man smells divine, I could smell his scent forever. Removing the rest of my clothing, I enter the cubicle allowing the warm water to do it's wonders on my skin.The shower is cut off when m
Ariel"You want to kiss me?" he asks again and my eyes widen.Did I say that aloud?It's my wolf.'It's not like you won't like it human, you are such a pretender'I hate her."Mmh.." I clear my throat thinking of some excuse to say. What will he think of me?"I want you to give me lots of food and also stop being cold with me" I quickly change the subject but he raises a brow at me."Lots of food?" he asks in disbelief and I look away embarrassed.My wolf was right, am so stupid.'Who doesn't know that?'"Look at me princess" he holds my chin directing my face to his and my face heats up at his nickname. I know I look like a tomato right now.My skin tingles at where his hand is placed on my chin. It feels amazing being this close to him, I feel safe in his arms.Maybe he was serious about this."You like food?" he stares directly into my eyes and I blink repeatedly to minimise the intensity.Fuck, I must look like an idiot."Yes" I whisper trying to look away but his hold on my chin
ArielAfter rummaging in my clothes like forever, I finally found something to wear for the training.Am not going there to train, am accompanying my mate because he doesn't trust I will be here when he comes back.So romantic if you ask me.I just need to find a cool place to sit and enjoy the show. More so, am not bragging but there is no one here who can beat me, maybe my mate after I mark him.When a hybrid marks their mates, they become as twice stronger than they were and since lance is alpha, he'll be unbeatable.Good thing right? It only means more protection for me.I put on black sports shorts and a pink singlet before wearing a big red denim jacket with the words ' badass' on the back.The jacket covers everything and it makes me look badass, which with no doubt I am.It was a gift from my best friend who am yet to beg lance to allow me to move to this pack with me.Justin will be so happy.I wear white Nike sneakers and tie my hair in a tight high ponytail.Perfect. I sm
Ariel"What are you thinking about?" He repeats and I quickly stuff my mouth with food so I wouldn't answer.What is wrong with me?'What's wrong with you guys?' I ask and they remain silent again.They are up to something I swear.People start exiting the room and I chew so slowly because lance is watching me. I feel my face heating up and I can only imagine what my mate is thinking.I have never had naughty thoughts before.I look around the table and no one is paying attention to us, that is a relief."Hurry up then" he mumbles going back to his food.Thank goddess he gave up.Eden is still avoiding me and I can't wait to get him alone, he will eventually face me no matter how long he hides.How could he make a promise and go back on it? The beta and his mate leave the table followed by Derick and am left alone with the alpha.Lance is already done and it looks like he's waiting for me."I am full," I tell him and he looks at me sceptically. Right now I crave raw meat and warm bloo
ArielI grab his neck and hungrily kiss him. My hands glide all over his body, his naked chest, stomach, and arms just the way I have been imagining.Lance kisses me back with the same hunger completely forgetting we have an audience.I feel myself fading away and I try hard to get back control before I do something am not ready for.Lance grabs my ass and squeezes it harder making me moan in his mouth. I need to stop this, it's like we are completely possessed.My hands traces the waistline of his pants and he doesn't stop me. Instead, my mate growls approvingly.Fuck, people are probably watching.I will myself and uses my vampire speed to disappear and I find myself near the stream.My nails are elongating and I can feel my eyes changing, am breathing hard like air is being forced into my lungs.They want to mate him. Stupid wild creatures.'Please stop' I beg clatching my hair tightly. I hate it when they control me. It leaves me completely powerless and they always do something s
Ariel."Are you okay?" Lance whispers and gently places his hand on my stomach."Yes, but I am so hungry" I exaggeratedly complain, and he chuckles. Who would have thought I would see this day? A day where Lance interacts freely and laughs with me for no reason."That boy is making breakfast. He insisted," my mate grumbles with a scowl, and it's my turn to laugh. " He has a name, you know. " Justin finally got accepted in this pack after so much persuasion. I can't count how many times I begged my mate to let him move here. He is currently living in my mum's house but he is always here. I need company after all, especially when my mate is always away."Did they kick today?" his hand gently massages my tummy, and I quickly nod. I love it when he does that. Fuck, I love his massages. Lance turned out to be the perfect mate after all. He is worth the risk."Yes, they did. But this is extremely exhausting.""Says the one who wants seven kids." he shrugs, getting out of bed, and I lie bac
Ariel I slowly walk to the pack, and with every step I take, the more my heart ache.Goddess! It hurts. I feel so fucking defeated. That man still outsmarts me despite all my efforts.Was he even her mate? He allowed that vampire to kill her and he didn't do shit."Oh, dear. "I am met by two girls, and instantly pulled into a hug. "I am sorry, Ariel. I don't want to imagine what you are going through right now," Nikki remorsefully whispers, and Avery sniffles on my shoulder. Fuck, they are making it worse.I haven't smelt my mate's scent yet. Where did he go? I can't let him out of my sight from now on. Hate to say it, but I only have Lance now."Where is Lance?" I slightly pull away and stare into their worried, pitiful faces."Don't you know? Alpha and our mates went to look for you. He took most of the pack warriors with him, too." Nikki explains, adding to my worry."What about Derrick?" I whisper, looking in the direction I just came from. He didn't play me, did he?Goddess! Wha
Ariel Alex proudly smiles, and my fists clench. I dragged James into my mess, and he died before we could even do anything. Goddess! What should I do? I can't let his death be in vain. I stare at the two proud men, and I know they have me where they want me. "You brought yourself to me. It's a good thing you left your mate behind. Now come on. You are out of choices, honey. I wouldn't go against me if I were you." Gabriel throws the flesh in his hands on the floor and stretches his bloody hand to me. Fuck, this man. "We will go to a far away place where no one will find us, until when the time is right. Alex will resume being your mate." "I am not coming with you." I shake my head, taking a step back. Damn them for thinking they can arrange my life for me. "Yeah? Your friends will die. Your mate and your mother, too, and I will make sure that his pack is burnt to ashes with everything in it. Only you can save them, Ariel," my father sneers, and my heart leaps in discomfort.
Ariel. "Our first stop should be the very first lab he took me to. Then we can also look around the deserted building he was at the other day" I say walking Cleo and James to my mum's house. Lance had it repaired and I hope we find her soon."The problem is, this man is unpredictable. Gabriel has a lot of hideouts and it requires luck to find his location" James says, almost crushing my hope but I am more determined to find him."I know. We just have to find his hideouts and burn them one by one. The moment he has had enough, he will eventually come out of his hiding and then I will have my chance""Are you sure about this Luna? I mean, now that we lost Derick, don't you think it will be harder to find him alone? " Cleo says, doubt clear in her voice."What do you suppose I do, Cleo? Find another magical wolf who works for him. I will die trying if it comes to it" Lance growls at my words but I don't look his way. Nothing I said is wrong. At this point, it's either him or me."I will
Ariel.Not even a fucking scent. This is the disadvantage of trying to be nice. The problem is, I can't blame anyone but myself. I promised not to rely on anyone again and see what just happened when I relied on these witches. One thing I know, in the history of all supernaturals, there is only one way to kill the most fierce creature for good. That is beheading them or ripping out their spinal cords. Ripping hearts is the most common way to kill vampires, and no matter how strong Gabriel is, I only need one chance. One chance of distraction to rip one of these fatal organs out. I don't need help from a fucking gifted traitorous wolf for that to happen. So. With that thought in mind, I get on my feet and dust my shorts. Time to hunt these bitches. I chuckle shaking my head. I am gonna be ruthless. Enough of playing games. "Come on" I grab my mate's hand and he follows me without hesitation. "Luna, we need to.. " "I know what I should do, Cleo" I cut off the witch before she
Ariel. "Condition?" I nervously murmur and my mate tense behind me. Please don't be what I'm thinking. "Yes," Derick utters with an amused expression. I'm sure the horror on our faces is entertaining him. "Don't even go there Derick" Lance strictly warns, his grip on me tightening. "Okay," he sighs staring on his lap. His features suddenly appear sad.''I have been talking to Eden and I want to apologize on his behalf" "Wait, wait, where are you going with this?" I lean forward placing my elbows on the table, so I could be close to him. Maybe I heard wrong, he can't be talking about the same guy I want dead. Right? "I think you should forgive him Luna" he whispers almost remorsefully. I scoff turning my head to look at my mate, whose jaw is tightly clenched. After an hour or so of debating and weighing my options, I agree to Derrick's terms and he finally takes us to the pack hospital where the remaining of my victims are fading away. His frail body is almost giving up. He looks
Ariel.You need to intervene in this goddess. Please give me the power to end this without losing anyone I care about.I tiredly sigh placing my elbows on my thighs, and rubbing my eyes. The room is silent for a minute.Probably, everyone is thinking the same thing as me."Do we have a way to end this before it's too late?" I lift my gaze to James to find him intently staring at me."There is a gifted wolf in this pack. We can't rely on your strength alone. We need his power and a couple of witches, only then will we defeat him" "Do you know who this wolf is?" I ask Cleo and she stares at me in fright. "Mmh, I am not sure yet, but Alpha can answer that" She answers dismissively. I know she's lying. Why can't she just tell me because Alpha is not here?"I just want my mum back before he takes her from me" I sadly mumble. I love her so much. I will never shout at my mum again.The little time I spent with her showed me what being cared for felt like. I don't want to lose her to my psyc
Ariel.The hesitation. He doesn't want to tell me. This only means there is so much to Derick, and it just added to my curiosity. "Why do you ask?" he proceeds to massage my scalp and I sigh leaning forward and pressing my palms on the glass wall."He seems sketchy" I whisper. Closing my eyes, I let the sensation from his fingers soothe my mind. I needed this.I will worry about Derick later though. Right now I have to find the two witches. I know James will help me."There is nothing to worry about" Lance murmurs placing a gentle kiss on my temple. There is a lot more to worry about than he can imagine. Either way, I hum in response ending the conversation between us.I tuck myself into the bed with a content sigh at the warmth, and the heavenly scent the sheets hold. This is what I have been missing.It doesn't take two minutes to feel his presence behind me. Lance spoons and pulls me to his masculine body and it's only now I'm realizing how much I missed him.My mate then buries hi
Ariel. It's the third day of being in the wilderness.My beasts have been nagging about seeing our mate and I think it's time to face the reality. I already feel terrible for causing him to worry this much for me. I would die of stress if my mate disappeared from me. With a made-up mind, I commence towards the direction of the pack house. My strength is recovered and both of us are in control, so my movements are like a blur in the thick forest. It feels amazing. I love the caress of wind on my fur and how branches and leaves effortlessly crunch on my feet. Almost to Lance's house, which is thankfully a bit far from the pack house, I slow down as I look around for any form of clothing. I don't want to walk there naked because I'm sure wolves are around guarding the house. To my dismay, the forest is clear of any clothing. I spot his house and more importantly, his bedroom window which is thankfully open. I hastily shift back and give Lucile control. I need to get into his room u
