Ariel I turned nineteen two days ago. Before I could enjoy my birthday, a vampire invited himself to the party and grandly introduced himself as my father. I thought my dad died through a rogue's attack, can you imagine how shocked I was? that is not the shocking part, he drugged and kidnapped me.I don't know what serum he injected into my system but my body is paralysed.I have been laying in this bed for two days, being used as his blood bank.I stiffly stare through the window watching how the heavy drops of rain hit it and slide down. The outrageous lightning matching my misery.Life comes with different encounters, We don't choose where and how to be born, no. Because if that were the case, I will rather be born human.Looking around his laboratory, he has arranged equipment to collect more of my blood, like my existence to him doesn't matter at all. Only my blood does. My body is weak, but my mind keeps telling me to fight on. I have to.I always hated the idea of being a dam
ArielWhat?I stare at the man in disbelief as my heart threatens to burst out from my chest. He carries himself with dominance and his presence reeks of power.Fuck me.Goddess, I can stare at him all the time and never get bored, I wish my beasts were present."Where is my baby?" my mother's fake voice interrupts the beautiful moment as she hurriedly approaches my bed followed by two men. Looking at their red eyes, it only means they're vampires. What is my mum doing with vampires?The first one has short blonde hair with a lean figure and his friend is more masculine and has black hair."And what do you mean mate?" she harshly snaps at the wolf who still has his eyes on me but now with an emotionless face. What changed? "She already has a mate, him" her voice brings me back to the conversation, and I sceptically watch her point at the one with blonde hair.His sharp jaw perfectly draws the beauty of his face, even though I can't feel the mate bond right now, I know he is not my ma
Ariel" How long till she gets better?," mum curiously asks the doctor while her eyes lingers on me.They managed to bring me home and had our pack doctor check on me."At most 24 hours, her wolf and vampire are very weak. She'll need a lot of rest," he says packing up his stuff. I know I look like shit because it's been three days without taking shower or food. It's surely terrible."Also give her a lot of fluids, if her vampire is energised she'll recover quicker" my mother silently nods before leading him out of my room.I doubt she'll do that. The problem is, I can't feed myself, yet. My senses are coming back but I lack the strength to do anything.I stare at the ceiling blankly, images of Alpha Lance recurring in my mind.Why did he leave? Didn't he want me? or maybe my mother scared him away, no. He's the one to scare people and not the other way round.What if he believed Alex was my mate? Oh! no moon goddess, Alex is only after something. I just know it."Hey sweetheart," My
ArielI have been laying in this bed the whole night hoping that when morning comes I will be better, but no. I can barely move and the creatures in me are still asleep.Where is my mate? I wonder looking around the empty room.His scent is so faint meaning he just dropped me and left. Maybe he's busy.The room I was brought in is not bad, when we got here, I was asleep so I didn't get the chance to observe the environment.It is bigger unlike mine at my pack, the walls are white and bare, so plain if you ask me.Two doors are on my right which am assuming lead to the bathroom and the closet.There are two huge windows on my other side. The clear curtains makes the sun illuminate the room unhindered. The bed is positioned in the middle of the room and nothing else.So lonely.A soft knock on the door alerts me and I whisper a come, thanking the goddess my voice is finally back.A middle-aged woman walks in with a tray holding breakfast in her hand. She's quite tall, 5'7 I presume. Sh
Ariel I wake up to a dark room, Clear contrast to how it was when I fell unconscious. I must have slept a lot, probably for the whole day.I can't believe even In my condition, he went ahead to sleep with another she-wolf. Yet, he knows exactly the pain it causes when a mated wolf sleeps with a different person.I thought he was cruel but this? It's utterly despicable." How are you feeling," a deep voice says beside me and I look up with quirked eyebrows at the man sitting beside me on the bed. He has brown eyes and dark hair, the man is bulky, he is attractive but I find Lance hot. If only he was mine.I clear my throat and my eyes land on Agatha who is standing and worriedly eyeing me. I feel a little better, my body is not as weak as it was before meaning my beasts are recovering."Better" I croak out attempting to sit up and I manage to, that is progress."Here," the guy hands me a glass, and am shocked by its content. I thought Lance said am not taking any blood in his pack.
Ariel.This is what I have been avoiding ever since I shifted, I didn't want to turn evil or hurt anyone for that matter.I gaze at the naked lifeless body of the woman who was fucking my mate and cringe, her throat is torn and there is blood everywhere.The bed, which I assume was hers and the marble floor looks nauseating.Fuck I did that. My claws are retracting and my skin is back to normal too,the creatures that dwell in me are at the back of my mind hiding.The pain and the anger has also been deterred, but with a price.However, I don't feel any guilt about what just happened, because he was hurting us and the bruises from yesterday are still sore, add today's to that.They deserve more worse than this.I lift my head to look at the fuming alpha and damn, am so dead.He must have put his clothes back on because they were naked when I entered and this room reeks of sex. So fucking shameless.His scent is mingled with the woman's and it's foul to my senses. It makes me wanna pu
Ariel.I don't even know how I fell asleep but it was a peaceful night I have had in a while.The hard ground beneath me has done enough to punish my poor body. If I knew, I would have shifted to my wolf form, that way it could have been easy.I sit up and look at my surroundings, the morning sun is peeking from its horizon. It's quite chilly and the wild animals haven't woken up yet.My always time to hunt.Since this pack doesn't offer blood per their alpha, am capable of getting it for myself like I always did in my previous pack.My vampire prefers fresh blood, so I normally go hunting in the morning for a deer or any available wild animal. Drink the blood and have my wolf enjoy the steak.I feed them once a day and after that, no one bothers me the rest of the day.I lift myself from the hard rock and after some stretches, I set to the glorious forest. Eden's scent is faint, meaning he left. But it's replaced by someone else's, someone I hate to mention right now.My wolf whines
Ariel.Fuck.I clutch at my stomach trying to stand up but I fail, falling back on the grass insteadThis shit gets me so fucking weak and I hate it. I thought I had more time but the universe had another plan for me.It always has. Now am convinced the moon goddess hates me.The desire to have our mate intensifies and the longer I stay away from him the more the pain becomes severe.'We need to get out of here, more wolves are coming' my vampire whispers and I grit my teeth lifting my clothes from the floor.I breathe heavily as I put them on not minding if am doing it the right way or not.A big midnight black wolf with glowing yellow eyes halts in front of me and my wolf starts nudging me to come out.His scent is everything I missed in my whole life and it's calling out to me. My beasts are on the verge of breaking and with Just one slip, they will pin lance down and we both know he won't resist. I can never let that happen.I can never let him touch me.More wolves follow him an
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
