Arianna's Fate Chapter Twenty-one
Alpha kael povI forced a smile, trying to appear nonchalant despite the suffocating tension that had settled over the dinner table. Elaine's gaze lingered on me, her eyes sparkling with an unsettling intensity that made my skin crawl. The sound of my spoon clicking against the ceramic plate seemed amplified, a stark reminder of my dwindling appetite. My father's voice cut through the silence, his tone laced with concern. "Son, are you okay?" I nodded hastily, my eyes darting towards him in a bid to escape Elaine's piercing stare.The visiting alpha's son, Dorian, chuckled softly, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he took in the scene. I suspected he had noticed Elaine's foolishness, and a part of me was grateful for the distraction. Elaine, however, seemed oblivious to the undercurrents of tension. She continued to smile at me, her lips curled upwards in a saccharine gesture that made my stomach turn.As the dinner conversation flowed around me, Elaine suddenly pushed back her ch

Arianna's POVThe night air, cool against my skin, carried a soft yet relentless breeze—as if it was determined to weave itself into my very being. With my eyes closed, I inhaled the scent of fresh earth and wood, pushing aside the distractions of the world to simply... breathe. For that fleeting moment, I felt a sense of freedom. There were no duties to fulfill, no one I had to accommodate—just me and the vast evening sky.But the calm shattered abruptly as warmth enveloped me. It was a strange, unexpected heat—an intruder behind me. Strong arms wrapped around my face, pulling me closer, and my heart thudded wildly against my ribs. My breath hitched as I fought to comprehend the intrusion.I shook off the instinctive unease and sniffed the air for a familiar scent. Nothing. Just the forest’s earthy aroma intertwined with an unfamiliar, unmistakable trace of a person.“Who’s there?” I demanded, my voice firm despite the slight tremor that betrayed my composure.A deep, rich chuckle re

Kael povI could feel the tension in the air, a palpable electric current buzzing against my skin. It wasn’t merely the late hour or the cool wind—it was something deeper, an instinct that set my nerves alight. The sight of Arianna and Dorian, standing there in the dark with his predatory smirk aimed at her, twisted my gut into tight knots.I slammed my fist against the window, the glass rattling in response to my fury. I knew exactly what this was: Dorian had his sights set on her. To him, she was not just a servant; she was a puzzle to be solved, a conquest to claim, and that was unacceptable. I wouldn’t allow it. Not when it came to Arianna.My fingers itched for the landline. The moment she entered my thoughts, everything else faded away. I grabbed the receiver, dialing the mansion's main house before hesitation could take hold. The phone rang twice before a servant picked up, and I wasted no time.“Arianna,” I commanded, my voice sharp and infused with authority. The word ignited

Kael's POVI paced the length of my quarters, the seething anger within me refusing to fade. Dorian’s words echoed in my mind—his smooth voice, calm demeanor, all aimed at something I refused to accept. Arianna was under my protection, and I wouldn’t stand by while Dorian toyed with her as if she were merely a puzzle to be solved.Clenching my fists at my sides, I fought to focus on anything other than the fury that coursed through me. How dare he presume to manipulate her?I wouldn’t let this slide. I was going to confront him, demand answers. I needed to know what he had told Arianna and why he thought it was acceptable to get so close to her without facing the consequences.I grabbed my coat, throwing it on without care for the sharpness of the fabric against my skin. Before I knew it, my feet were carrying me down the long corridors of the mansion.The biting wind met my face as I approached the guest quarters where Dorian was staying. I could hear the soft murmur of voices within

Arianna povThe laughter echoed, like a hundred wind chimes clashing in the breeze. The sound cut through the air, and it wasn’t until I was nearly past the group of pack workers that I heard the stammered words from one of them."Thank goodness she will be executed soon."The words stuck in my throat, the weight of them hanging in the air, thicker than the suffocating smell of earth and sweat. My footsteps faltered for a moment, the impulse to turn back overwhelming, but the fire inside me refused to let it show. I had heard whispers of my fate—whispers that turned my stomach with fear, whispers that now seemed to ring true in their cruel mockery.I spun on my heel, my eyes narrowing, and marched back toward them."Who are you talking about?" I demanded, my voice sharp and unyielding, betraying none of the dread churning within me. I refused to be weak in front of them.The pack workers looked at each other, their gazes flicking nervously between one another, but then one of the girl

Arianna povI blinked rapidly, trying to clear my mind. My body felt heavy, as if weighed down by stone. Alpha Kael still held my hand, his grip warm yet possessive, sending a chill through me. He gazed at me intensely, his smile a mask over something deeper.“Arianna,” he said, his voice deep and calming. "You’re awake."I tried to pull away, but his grip tightened. I swallowed hard, feeling his warmth suffocate me. “Just stop touching me,” I said, my words bitter. “It’s hurting my skin.”His smile faltered, but he didn’t let go. The silence was heavy, making me feel fragile. I avoided his gaze, unable to bear the way he made me feel so small."You’ve been unconscious for days," he said softly. "It was hard to see you like that...""I don’t want your pity," I snapped, my voice trembling. "I’m fine. I’ve been through worse."Finally, he released me, but I still felt the warmth lingering. The air felt colder, a mix of safety and imprisonment in his presence. Just then, the door opened,

Elia POVThe scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, mingling with the faint trace of pine from the surrounding woods. The pack house stood like a fortress against the gray sky, its stone walls reflecting the rising tension inside me. I moved through the lobby with purpose, scanning the room for any sign of my mate, Alpha Kael. His presence was always commanding, magnetic—almost impossible to overlook. But today, it felt as though the very air had swallowed him whole.The flickering fire in the hearth cast shadows against the stone walls, making the atmosphere feel colder than usual. My heartbeat quickened as I glanced around again, determined to find him. Where could he be?"Elaine," a smooth voice cut through my thoughts, warm and inviting, with a magnetic pull of its own.I turned toward the sound and found Alpha Dorian standing at the end of the hall, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. His strong, handsome features softened by the warmth in his gaze didn’t sway

Arianna's POVThe room felt suffocating. The air is heavy with unspoken words, swirling around like a storm trapped in a glass. I could hear the faint crackling of the candles below, their weak flames dancing in time with my heartbeat. The silence was deafening, and the moment felt like an eternity that stretched endlessly before me. My fingers curled around the edges of the window sill, trying to ground myself, but the darkness outside mirrored the dread inside me.I tried to steady my breath, but it came out ragged and shallow. Fear gnawed at my insides, a slow and torturous ache, as I stared into the vast night that would soon swallow me whole. The elders had spoken of it. The ritual. The prophecy. They'd made their decision long before I was born. I was nothing more than a tool. A pawn in their cruel game.But I couldn’t escape it. I couldn’t escape them.A soft whisper of movement broke the stillness, and I stiffened, my eyes darting around the room. My heart skipped a beat, but

Arianna's Fate Chapter forty-one
Arianna's POVI didn’t expect him to follow me.The ballroom had been alive with chatter, a blur of elegance, but none of it had mattered. All I could think about was him—Kael. The man whose name burned like a secret on the tip of my tongue. I hadn’t intended to reveal myself, not like this. But here I was, slipping away into the shadows of the night, my heart beating in erratic sync with the rush of cold air.I thought I’d escape. Just leave the mask behind, disappear into the garden, and perhaps never return. But the moment he stepped into the garden, I knew—knew—that there was no running from him. Not anymore.My breath came in shallow gasps, the tension between us thick, palpable, as the moments stretched out in silence. I could hear my heart in my ears, feel the blood rushing through me, pounding against my chest, each beat louder than the last.The wind swept through the trees, carrying with it a quiet rustle, but it felt as though the world had stopped.I didn’t know what I exp
Arianna's Fate chapter forty
Kael’s POVThe flicker of candlelight danced across the grand hall, casting long shadows against the stone walls, and the air hummed with the soft sound of clinking glasses and whispered gossip. The ballroom was in full swing, a swirl of elegance and mystery, yet my thoughts were far from the opulent revelry surrounding me.I stepped into the hall with the same confidences that I always did—untouchable, an enigma wrapped in a suit as dark as the storm I carried inside. My eyes quickly found her. She was there, across the room, her figure a soft silhouette in a sea of strangers.Her gaze was intent, searching, moving with purpose even as the crowd tried to distract her. I’d known the moment I saw her that she wasn’t here to enjoy the music or the wine. No, she had her own agenda. But whatever it was, I knew I wasn’t going to stand in her way. She was searching for something—someone—but I couldn’t tell if it was for me or against me. And frankly, I didn’t care. At least not right now.W
Arianna's Fate Chapter thirty-nine
Elaine povIt was the Royal Night, the one event everyone had been eagerly awaiting. The chandelier overhead cast a soft golden glow, filling the grand ballroom with warmth and elegance. The tall marble columns and intricate tapestries lining the walls seemed to blend with the murmurs of laughter and clinking glasses. Tonight was special. Not just because of the regal atmosphere, but because tonight, everyone wore a mask. A symbol of secrecy, mystery, and maybe even a little bit of magic.I adjusted the mask on my face, the dark feathers brushing against my cheek as I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the massive mirror beside me. My dress shimmered in the light, a deep shade of midnight blue that seemed to shift as I moved. It was a fitted bodice that flared out at the waist, layers of fabric that rippled like water when I walked. The gold accents along the neckline and cuffs gleamed in the soft light, each piece sewn with the precision of a royal tailor. The dress made me feel li
Arianna's Fate Chapter thirty-eight
Alexander's POVI stood there, watching as my sister crawled on the cold, unforgiving floor, begging for attention like some discarded thing. Every instinct I had screamed to protect her, to shield her from the pain that Alpha Kael had so cruelly caused. My heart pounded with a fury that made my hands shake, and the rage coursing through me was like fire, hot and consuming."Arianna, get the fuck up from the floor!" I barked, my voice harsh, more from anger than anything else. I couldn’t stand it. I grabbed her arms, yanking her to her feet, dragging her along as her small frame felt too fragile under my touch. I could feel the tremor in her body, the weight of her sorrow sinking deep into my own chest.Each step I took, I could feel my blood boiling. Kael had humiliated her in front of everyone, and I wanted nothing more than to knock the smug look off his face. But I knew I had no right to do that—not yet. My anger made everything else blur around me, and all I wanted to do was make
Arianna's Fate Chapter thirty-seven
Arianna's POV“Stop talking, please!” The words were choked, bitter, and barely a whisper, but they held the weight of every tear I had been holding in for hours. My fingers curled into fists, nails biting into my palm as I stood frozen at the doorpost, my heart hammering in my chest. The air was thick with the stench of betrayal, and I could taste it on the back of my throat. I wanted to scream, to throw something, anything at him, but how could I when I saw how broken Kael looked? His jaw clenched in fury, his face twisted in ways I had never seen before, and yet, I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even speak.His eyes were cold—dead—when they met mine. They had always been so warm, so full of fire.“You betrayed me, Arianna,” he muttered, voice low but dripping with venom. “I would’ve let them sacrifice you. You’re just like every other woman—entitled, selfish, always seeking the next thing without understanding the consequences.” His voice broke, and I saw the anger twist into something
Arianna's Fate Chapter thirty-six
Kael’s POVThe door slammed shut behind her with a finality that echoed through the room. I didn’t move, didn’t breathe. My mind was still reeling, struggling to process what had just happened—what she had just said. I could still feel her fingers on my chest, her breath in my ear, and worse, the taste of her lips on mine.What the hell was wrong with me?She’d come in like a storm, twisting everything in her wake, pushing me to the brink. I should’ve pushed her away. I should’ve thrown her out and told her to get lost. But instead, I stood there, letting her take the whiskey from my hands, letting her manipulate me like I was some helpless fool.But the worst part? The worst part was that I wanted her.She had said everything she knew would hurt the most—every word calculated to break me, to twist the knife deeper. And damn it, it worked. Arianna kissing Dorian? The thought alone made my stomach churn. I had seen the way she looked at him, the way their gazes lingered longer than the
Arianna's Fate Chapter thirty-five - Elaine’s POV
I stood in front of Alpha Kael's door, my breath steady but my pulse quickening. My fingers curled tightly around the brass knocker, and I gave the door a firm rap, each knock echoing through the silence of the hallway. A small smile tugged at my lips as I waited, the anticipation building like a sweet poison in my veins.Kael, I know you're in there.I didn’t have to be here, not like this. But after everything—after all the times he rejected me, chose Arianna, I could feel something inside me shift. He needed to understand. He needed to know who really held the power in this pack. Who he had overlooked.I knocked again, harder this time. The door was unyielding, but I was used to obstacles. I didn’t back down from them. Not anymore.For a brief moment, I wondered what was taking him so long. Was he in there drinking? Getting lost in his own frustration? Maybe I would find him exactly how I imagined—disheveled, disoriented, and, finally, vulnerable.Just when I thought I might break
Arianna's Fate Chapter thirty-four
Arianna's POV The coldness of the floor beneath me seeped through the thin fabric of my clothes, but I didn’t care. It was the only thing that kept me grounded. I curled tighter, my arms wrapped around my knees as I sobbed, the tears flowing freely down my face like an endless river. I wanted to scream, to yell at the world for being so unfair. But no sound escaped my lips. Instead, I let the heavy silence surround me, a stark contrast to the storm raging inside. The ritual had been everything. Everything I had been waiting for, everything I had worked for. And now... now it was gone. It was as if someone had stolen the very ground I stood on, and I was left with nothing but this aching emptiness. Alpha Kael had canceled the ritual, and for what? To keep his precious little secret intact, to keep his own hidden fears and insecurities safe. But that wasn’t the worst part. No, the worst part was the lie. The lie someone had spread about me being sick—sick enough to not be able to com
Arianna's Fate Chapter thirty-three
Kael’s POVI paced back and forth in my room, the silence of the space doing nothing to quell the storm building inside me. My hands were trembling, my chest tight with the weight of what had happened, what was still to come. The moonlight streamed through the window, casting long, cold shadows across the floor, but it didn’t help. Nothing helped. Not the quiet of the night, not the pulse of the ritual still lingering in the air. Not the bitter taste of betrayal that still clung to my mouth.I had never felt like this before—this out-of-control surge of emotion. It was a relentless current pulling me under.I stopped pacing and ran my hands through my hair, gripping the strands in frustration. What the hell was I supposed to do now? I had defied my pack, my father, the elders—everything I had ever been taught, everything I had ever believed. And for what? Arianna. But was it enough?My eyes flickered to the door, and without thinking, I moved toward it. I needed to lock it. To ensure
