I remain on my knees as I watch my mate walk away until he's out of my sight.My heart is breaking, and tears are at the edge of my eyes but I don't dare let them free.My wolf went quiet and I can't even sense her. This hurt really bad.Am so stupid for thinking I could change a sadist alpha in two minutes.Everyone was right about alpha lance, he's a demon with no feelings whatsoever.A mate bond is the most sacred thing among werewolves, we don't joke about that but he keeps doing this.No matter how strong he thinks he is, he should remember I marked him too and he's gonna feel my pain, he's gonna feel the pull towards me and so help me, let him not think I will easily forget the shit he keeps making me go through.I was stupid once, but not anymore.I look down at the shirt am wearing and sadly sigh, it's his shirt."Am sorry baby, you don't deserve that" Mum and Eden stumble toward me and I blink away the tears before they could spot them.I was born strong, and I have to live up
Ariel Nikki rushes out and am left wondering why she's in such a hurry. They should have caught the spy earlier though. The vampires have created a lot of damage as it is. I hope the culprit receives a well-deserved reward.I sigh getting in the covers and I know no matter what I do, I won't be getting any sleep.Fuck, I shouldn't be thinking about lance but I miss him. I know am stupid for feeling that way but I can't help it. I miss how he holds me in his strong arms at night and the way his scent always lulls me to sleep.Moon goddess, why does he have to be so cold and hurtful? Why give me something so good that doesn't last?Our lovemaking was so fascinating. I wanted more, I wanted him again and again but where is he now?Maybe if those vampires didn't appear he would be with me right now. Why do I have to be so unlucky?Other wolves got loving mates while I got the sadist alpha. I keep tossing and turning until I let out a loud frustrated scream. One day am happy and the n
Ariel. "Wake up honey, it's already 10 am, we are gonna be late if you spend one more minute in that bed" mum grumbles pulling away my covers and I growl at her in frustration. "Must we go today?" I mumble burying my face in the warm pillow and I hear her cussing. Either way, I don't make any effort of getting up. The bed is so warm and comfy, doesn't she feel wicked doing this to me? "You have been saying that for the last three days honey, you know the ceremony starts today at exactly at 3 pm" She explains but it falls on deaf ears. I don't even see why I should be there in the first place. Maybe they even got used to my absence. We have been living in this beautiful place for a month, and it's evident that this is what I have been missing all my life. James guy was correct when he said that something was growing in me because damn, it is hell. The morning sickness is worse, an i have become so lazy like right now. I have an immense desire for sleep and the crazy cravings fo
Alpha Lance. 'I want my mate today or you will see what I can do human' my wolf rumbles and I ignore him. It has become an endless song since the day I acted stupid. 'You have been foolish enough, am not allowing you to hurt her anymore, i shouldn't have allowed you in the first place , you don't want me taking control' he continues lamenting and I try to block him but I can't. What's wrong? I'm always able to block him, so what happened now,?'What happened is that am the alpha here, and what I say from today goes, start with getting back my mate, she's been avoiding me and I hate it' 'Will you fucking shut up? ' I growl in frustration because no one tells me what to do. Even the beast in me. 'You don't want to dare me human' I keep quiet knowing if he looses control no one will get out of this pack alive. The last time he went rabid is the same day he forcefully shifted when I was 15.He went after the vampires who murdered my pack and tore them like they were nothing. I don'
Alpha Lance. Fuck it. I instantly grab her waist and draw my mate to myself. I never knew how addictive and how bad I needed her scent until now. Burrying my face in the crook of her neck, more specifically on my mark, i greedly take in deep breaths, inhaling her scent as much as I can. She smells so fine, and her body is so warm and fucking soft. Ariel feels like home. A place I feel comfortable being at. I relax when she doesn't push me away, I don't care if it's just for show or if she misses me too. I don't even mind if people are looking. "What are you doing?" she whispers so low I doubt any werewolf around heard her. I am glad she respects me so much that she doesn't want to embarrass me in front of this people. "Am sorry" I murmur in as much low voice and for the first time, I feel remorse deep from my heart. I know I keep apologizing and end up fucking up again, but not anymore. Especially when we are about to start a family. I can't have my son grow up in a separated
Alpha Lance.Tears of pain well in my eyes as I watch my mate writhing on the floor in great discomfort. I never felt this dejected before. Even my wolf is speechless for the first time. This can't be what am thinking it is. It can not happen to me again, to her. No, please. Don't let it happen. I understand am the most wicked wolf to exist but not her. My mate hasn't hurt anyone to deserve this, don't let her go through this moon goddess. She was the happiest I have seen her, who would want to hurt her this much and for what? For fucking what? "No" I angrily roar kicking the glass table beside me and it goes flying across the room before landing in a noisy mess. "Calm down bro" Sean holds my shoulder from behind and I quickly turn to choke him, deeply digging my fingers into his neck. Who is he to tell me anything? "She needs you, Lance, don't be stupid. Your mate needs you right now, more than anything else" he struggles to let out and I turn to look at her. She needs me
Ariel. The soft silk on my skin and the prominent scent of my mate inform me where I am. Today everything feels different. Unlike every morning, when mum has to drag me out of the bed, today I don't have the urge of staying in the bed. My body is light, my cravings are gone and I don't want to remember what else is gone. I should have figured it out, I should have protected him but I was too careless and distracted to notice the poisoned blood. I didn't even ask myself why she handed it to me without me asking. I should have known that not every smile is kind. Bad things keep happening to me and they hurt like shit. It's always one hell after another and am so sick of it. Am sick of being this soft girl that everyone finds it easy to hurt. 'The bitch is dead, am sorry arie, I should have sensed the blood' Lucile whispers and I remain silent. I don't have anything to say back to her. Nothing or no one will be able to fill the void left in my chest. I was so happy, the pregna
Ariel.So someone from this pack killed my son? Why would someone do that? As far as am concerned, I don't have enemies here yet, so what were their reasons?Was it to punish Lance? If that's the case, why didn't they just go after him instead of harming an innocent baby? "I need to go" I mumble standing up. I have to find the person who did it at all costs. I will make sure my poison runs in their blood slowly until it kills them. Such people do not deserve a quicker death. "Please stay" my mate holds my hand restricting me from leaving and I look at him with wonder, since when did Lance start using words like, please? "Am not doing this with you Lance, I was in the middle of something before I came here, "I reply in a serious tone. Just who does he think he is? I was in my bed mourning before being forcefully dragged here, but now that I have a lead on who took my baby, am going to find them instead of doing nothing but feeling sorry for myself the entire time. "We need to tal
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
