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. It's another morning and I don't want to wake up. Not because am tired or lazy but cause when I open my eyes, the first thing I will see is my baby's stuff. They are everywhere in this room, baby cribs, and a lot of toys that are scattered around the room like he is actually here. I think I will just go against my mate's wish of wanting to find out about the traitor's leader and finish them off. Who doesn't know that they are working for dad? I don't think I will be able to look at them and do nothing. Especially when they give me their fake smiles, fake concerns, and fake everything. 'Let's go hunting, it will cheer you up' my wolf whispers and I instantly block them out. I don't want to do anything, especially searching for food in the forest. Am not in the mood at all. "Are you awake honey? " my door creaks open followed by the soft voice of my mother and I pretend to be in deep sleep. Thank goddess I had covered my whole body including my head. "Sweetheart it's ni
Ariel. I almost laugh at the fright in his eyes. What? he didn't see it coming? Well, he has a lot in store to his surprise. I smirk when he takes off his shirt and I wonder why he has to. Oh! Or he wants to show me what he got. Too bad the alpha beside me, is shining so brightly that it makes me blind to notice anyone else. "Whatever you do, know that I support you. You deserve so much better baby, and am sorry for being a dick and failing to protect you and our pup" my mate whispers in my ear before kissing my forehead and I swear, his words and gesture just made my stomach turn. This mark the most sweetest thing lance has ever said to me and it makes me stare at him like he is a dream. " Show everyone not to mess with you," he adds and I slightly smile. He is right, everyone has to know better than mess with me or what is mine, in this life, the next, and the one after that. And if our paths happen to cross, they will remember to steer clear from mine. "Thanks, Lance" I ki
Ariel. I am done with all of the five traitors but the wound is still there. It didn't fill the void and it breaks me more. Seems like nothing can take this pain away. 'Are you okay? ' Lance asks but I don't look at him this time. The playful mood I had minutes ago is gone. Goddess! all this strength, and I couldn't even protect the one thing I was supposed to care for. 'Yeah, am fine' I reply disappearing from the field. I go to the one place that always gives me comfort from the first day I came to this pack.The large stone at the stream. And thankfully, no one is here, so I get the chance to break down and cry my lungs out. Maybe it's the only thing I will be doing to lessen the pain. 'Baby, where are you? ' I ignore his question and continue crying. I look at the tree he fucked me on, and wish it happened today so I would be more careful in the future. 'You know, we can always try again' my wolf reminds me and I block her out. I want to, I wanna try for another pup but
(Warning; Mature content) Ariel. I'm I having a wet dream? I don't think so but why I'm I feeling shit... I moan arching my back toward whoever is doing delightful things to me. I grab the silk covers when his tongue licks my clit before having his lips suck on it. This is not a dream, but I fear if I open my eyes it will all go away. When a growl sounds between my legs, I'm forced to open my eyes, and behold, my mate has my panties pushed aside and he's eating me out. The worst part is that I don't want him to stop because it feels like heaven. "Lance, what are you doing?" I breathlessly ask locking my legs behind his head. "Having breakfast" he mumbles doing his thing and my hands find themselves in his hair, holding his head where it's supposed to remain. I don't mind him having his breakfast every morning because damn, I swear, this is really messed up. My mate brings a finger at my entrance and keeps it there, teasing me. He wants me to beg him. "I have a request befor
Ariel. (Warning; Mature Content)Fuck. My head tilts backward in ecstasy as my mate drives me through the high. Finally. Lance unhurriedly licks me clean and when my body finally cools down, my mind starts working again. The cautious voices in my head come back and I start regretting what I just did. I'm really fucking stupid. I quickly get down from his desk and shamefully stumble to where I threw his sweater. Fuck, you should see me right now. I look like a shameless whore, damn these hormones. "Baby, what's wrong?" Lance snatches the sweater from my hands before I could put it on, and mindlessly tosses it away across the room. He quickly holds me before I could disappear and I break down in tears. I have no idea of what I'm doing to myself. "Everything Lance, everything is wrong" I cry pushing at his arms that are holding me but the alpha doesn't budge. "What do you mean sweetheart? talk to me" he asks in confusion before lifting me from the ground and walking with me to
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
