Ariel."Hey arie?" my head snaps to the man entering my room. Arie? only Justin calls me that."Eden" I acknowledge moving from the window to sit on my bed.He closes the door and walks in to sit next to me."Sorry about yesterday," he says and I scowl at him, I hate pity. Every time he sees me is all sorries, am sick of it.'Am sorry your mate rejected you and you had to suffer the pain of the heat' is written all over his face. Fuck you too eden." That thing I told you about, we are doing it today" I go straight to the point and he sighs avoiding my gaze.Don't you dare change your mind or am scratching your eyes out of their sockets. I scream in my head."Do you think it's a good idea? I mean alpha was devastated yesterday at your condition" he says scratching the back of his neck. Is he fucking stupid? Of course, Lance was devastated because the mate bond compelled him to, not because he was concerned for me.It's an instinct to protect your mate when they are in danger. Just th
Ariel"Shit" Justin cusses and I look around frantically my heart threatening to burst out from my chest."Fucking drive, Justin" I scream and I can hear the paws of various wolfs hitting the ground violently. He's coming and he has backup with him. Justin turns the car and speeds up out of the forest but 2 minutes away, a big black wolf blocks our path and five more join him.The car comes to a halt second away from crashing into them and Justin releases countless cusses hitting the steering.His blonde hair is already dishevelled and I can only imagine what's running in his head.Justin is the kind of a guy who hates violence, ironic because we are practically animals who fight to survive.He doesn't do combat and it's advantageous to him because our alpha never pushed us to do something we didn't want to.I know he's about to shit himself from how hard he's panting. People fear alpha lance and anyone does their best to steer away from his path, poor Justin.He's basically twice alp
ArielI open my eyes to a different room and one thing that stands out is the prominent scent of my mate.Fucking Lance marked me.I can feel my wolf's happiness and I can't do anything to stop her. Lucile is calm, perhaps on my side.I groan touching at the already healed spot and cuss out. How was I so damn careless? That fucker eden ratted me out to lance.So much for helping.I whine blocking the countless voices in my head. Now that am marked by their alpha, am open to the pack mind links. As if I care.My feelings for lance are gonna multiply and he will be able to feel my fucked up emotions. I, on the other hand, will be stupidly gawking at him all the time like the creep am not.'Celine told Gabriel about our escape' Lucille whispers and I groan. I fucking knew she is a snitch.When lance starts his drama I hope she will be strong for both of us.I stare blankly at the white ceiling imagining how fucked up it's gonna be living with Lance. Staying in the same room, having him c
Ariel.Why is he pretending though? Maybe the mate bond is a bitch after all.Heavy footsteps disappear to the bathroom and I sigh out of relief. I have no idea how am going to live with this wolf in the same room without us fighting our brains out.The water starts running and my evil wolf starts sending me inappropriate images of him and I block her right away.She's always snooping when lance is around. Why can't she just remain locked?Jeez, I understand the mark makes the pull unbearable but what will the male think when he smells my arousal? Am really not in the mood for another insult. So I will my brain to shut down and it proves to be harder than anticipated because when he comes out from the bathroom, am not asleep yet.Everything in me is disorganised. My heart is thumping faster against my chest and am shit scared. At the same time, am eagerly awaiting on what he'll do.Crazy.Will you believe me if I say I have never shared a bed with a man before? Right.Alpha lance lif
Ariel." Do you understand me pup?" lance growls out menacingly"Yes alpha" the gamma chokes out trying to get air In his restricted windpipe.Is this how he treats his pack members? No wonder they fear him.Why am I even surprised?If he doesn't want a mate, why treat others that way because they simply looked at me?He lets him go and kicks the gamma's body before walking away.Poor man, I will have to apologise later, when am alone. Everyone goes back to whatever they were doing like nothing just happened. Maybe they're used to their alpha behaving this way.In my former pack, we lived as one big happy family like it should me, contrary to this one.I give the gamma one last glance and he's being helped up by Ryan and hurriedly follow the absurd alpha."Seriously lance?" I call out behind him but he ignores me and continues walking."Lance" I yell nudging his back and he stiffens halting in his steps.Fuck. Looks like am seeking trouble."Fucking what?" he snaps turning back to fac
Ariel"You are hurt" Lance's voice breaks my state of shock as he crouches beside me inspecting my whole body before his eyes land on the scrunched paper on the floor.I watch him quietly as he unfolds the paper and his face immediately turns sour at the content.Lance growls loudly before aggressively punching the tree next to him breaking it in the process.Impressive."You're mine" his glowing eyes snap to mine like he just realised I was here. His body is shaking and fur starts replacing his skin as his breaths come out heavily."No one is taking you from me," he snarls punching the next tree and it suffers the same effect. Lance's knuckles are bleeding but he ignores them going for the next tree, and I stop him before he breaks all the trees in the forest.Sometimes he makes me wonder if it's his wolf doing or if he's actually the biggest pretender."That's enough lance" I stand up grabbing his bleeding hand that is already lifted to punch another tree. His body tenses when our
ArielI gaze at the beautiful woman before us. Her eyes are bright green, long brown hair hangs freely down her waist. Her skin is tan and unlike me, she has prominent curves in the right places.She's quite tall, likely 5*7 and she's in a white dress with black heels. A silver necklace dangles on her neck with two matching earrings. She's classy.The woman's eyes glow a bright yellow while she stares at me in disbelief and admiration."Mother" my beasts whisper at the same time and the woman's eye starts watering.The fuck!"My baby" she cries striding towards me with open arms, but lance shields me away before she could embrace me.Is there a misunderstanding or something? I can't deny the resemblance between us and the recognition, but this is totally unexpected." Don't touch her" my mate warns causing the woman to halt her steps immediately."Please alpha, I mean no harm" she pleads with teary eyes but lance shakes his head in disagreement."Do your work first " he motions to th
ArielI lead Mirabel to my special place, the huge stone around the river and sit on it while she remains standing but faces me.The beautiful woman doesn't want to get her white dress dirty."I have looked everywhere for you, I could feel you close but I didn't realise you were the hybrid mated to the alpha that everyone is talking about," She says looking at me with tender eyes.Am sure they say all the horrible things about me. Am glad I haven't heard about any of them."How are you my mother?" I wonder lifting my gaze to herThe woman sighs and decides to sit down beside me," My father was the alpha of red moons and I was mated to his beta's son when I turned eighteen" She starts and I listen carefully."During one of the pack runs, my mate was found mysteriously dead in the woods. His body was intact with no sign of him being attacked or any injuries" she sighs blinking away tears"I decided to investigate for myself because everyone just forgot about him, and that's how I met G
