Arya’s POVChase stared down at me and I squirmed. What was he doing? Why was he standing close to me?I shifted a little. Confusion marring my face. He noticed it and sat up.“I’m sorry if I scared you, you were running a temperature” I glanced at his hands to find a wet sponge. I nodded and sat up straight. He had interrupted what the dream but then I began to question why I was here? Why did he choose me as his mate? What was this about?I knew I had to find out or else, chase could kill me too like he did to his beta. Though mike deserved it. But then I stopped to think of what it would be of me if Chase did not get there on time. I shook my head to clear it of those ugly thought. Nah it’s good he came.The moment the car came to a stop, I jumped out. Limping all the way through, ignoring the many eyes on me. I walked straight to my son’s room but begins bi opened the door, I knew I had to change my clothes. Chamberlin would bombard me with questions if he saw me like this.I rave
Chase’s POVA smirk began to spread on my face as I stared at Arya.“Your highness” someone beside her said and I turned my head to see a blonde-haired girl. She bowed. Arya didn’t move her head. In fact she looked quite angry.I nodded. “You may lift your head” then I turned to Arya. “I see you were expecting somebody”Arya glared at her friend and then faced me. “What do you want?” she put her hands on her waist. I arched an eyebrow. Was she not the one I had saved earlier?“Your highness, wants a word” Angus said behind me. She stared at Angus and she raised her eyebrows. We were wearing matching clothes. “But firstly we would love to know if you can identify who had kidnapped you and tortured you”Arya nodded.“He is now my beta” I said and she snapped her eyes up at me.“So what do you want to talk about Alpha?” she rolled her eyes and stared at the clock.“In private” Angus said. I stared straight into her eyes and she sighed.“Alright” she said in a defeated tone.*************
Arya’s POVWalking into the crowd, I knew I should have stayed home tonight. I should have listened to my heart. People sat around scattered like leaves everywhere. It was a party. A bonfire was held before the transitioning of new werewolves.I didn’t want to attend but Kelsi made me go. After I had returned from Chase’s study, I scolded her for not telling me that Chase had called her to come. She begged me, saying Chase asked her not to breathe a word about it to me. I was furious.Today he is talking to my friend, tomorrow he could probably be taking my son. I thought of going back and telling him, I didn’t want him near Chamberlin but then, I had already given him my word. Sighing, I decided to let things slide. In the coming days, Chase would be turning six. I would just have to watch him. If he goes funny, I’ll ban him from seeing Chamberlin. But a part of me knew that I could not keep Chase away from his heir.Kelsi begged me to come to the bonfire and I said no. but then she
Arya’s POVI turned my head frantically looking for the nearest exit but saw none. Oh no. this is not good.I turned to Kelsi and she had a huge grin on her face.The guy in the black T-shirt found a bottle, and People cheered him on, and the game began.My heart raced and I became all sweaty. I squinted and shrunk back any time the bottle was spun. When I looked up, I swear I could see a smirk on Chase’s face, as he stared at me. I wish I could wipe that look off his face but, right now, all I wanted was to be an object or disappear entirely.The first bottle spin, made everyone gasp. It landed on a girl and a guy I knew when I found newly came to the black moon pack. So far I could understand people had termed him a loser because of the way he dressed. People kept staring at another guy seated close by. Kelsi whispered into my eyes, that was her boyfriend.She stared around at the boy and then at the bottle of alcohol. It was a known fact, that if one took even if it was a shot, you
Arya’s POV“Did you breathe while he kissed you?” Kelsi asked me as she smiled goofily. I frowned. It had been a week since that party but Kelsi swore to never stop talking about it.“Kelsi for the last time, stop asking me questions like that, unless you want me to punch you?” I began unpacking my books even though they packed.She scowled at me. “I don’t know if you understood what happened that night” she stood and smiled at a picture of Chase on a card“Since then, people have not stopped talking about the kiss. It went viral. I mean everyone said that you guys should be dating” she grabbed me and puckered her lips towards me with her eyes shut. I gently shoved her away. “After all he is your mate”“What are you high on Kelsi” I chuckled. “Yes he marked me but he doesn’t have my heart.“Oh that kiss, gosh I wish someone can kiss me like that. It was so magical” she said. I rolled my eyes as she embarked on talking about that kiss scene again.“I’m off to Chamberlin’s room” I said
Chase’s POVI slowly walked back to my seat from the bathroom. A lazy smile began to spread on my lips. Just as I sat Hercules, Angus, and Mika all had their eyes on me. I stared back at them and smirked.Angus rubbed a hand on his chin and Hercules began to chew. Their faces had a ghost smile as they tried to act normal. There was just one thing that bugged me. Mika’s countenance. She had not looked pleased with me ever since I began to pursue Arya. I have no idea, why she could be feeling this way. She knew Arya was my only hope of being free from this curse. Why was she then pissed? I resolved to ask her about it after the party.Arya walked back to her seat after a while. I stared at her and she immediately looked away. Her face was the exact color of a fire truck.Weeks ago, I could swear, the girl hated me with all her guts, and now here she was, being all shy with me.By midnight, Arya and her friends were ready to leave the party.“Your highness” Angus whispered into my ears.
Chase’s POVDays before my son's birthday, there was an auspicious occasion I had to attend to. It was the 2nd full moon. It was a rare occasion and no one ignored it.Also as the 2nd full moon of the year and all the packs were preparing to go on transitioning. All werewolves were warned to not exceed the boundaries of the werewolf kingdom. Anything beyond that line was seen as death. This was because, years ago a newly transitioning werewolf wandered down into the vampire side. He had his heart ripped out and he was dead within the twinkle of an eye.The pack dwellings were arranged in a manner of strength. First it was my pack, the black moon pack, next was the east high pack ,after that was the other 3 packs.It has been said that the person who lived at the far end of the pack was as good as dead, because it was either they were the first to be killed when the pack was being attacked, or when a stray wolf being got into the werewolf kingdom. It was also in this outskirts that the
Arya’s POVI couldn’t go howling on the second full moon because of two things.1. My son’s birthday was in two days’ time, I had to get things ready2. Kelsi, who I would have gone with was not my best friend any more. At least for now.When we left the party, I didn’t spare words in telling Kelsi how disappointed I was of her. I had been giving her signs to shut the fuck up but she kept speaking. Of what use was she as my best friend if she kept spilling my secrets to Chase. I mean I didn’t know him well enough. I can’t really trust him. So why was she a blabber mouth with him?“Mummy” Chamberlain muttered and pulled me out of my thoughts.I smiled at him. “Yes baby”“Are you okay?”I nodded immediately. “Of course honey, why will you ask that?”He pointed to the clothes I was sorting and I sighed. I had been folding and unfolding one cloth all this while.I laughed nervously. “Oh” I began picking the clothes.“It’s alright I understand” he moved across the room and hugged me. I wra
Arya's POV " Wine?" I glanced down at the glass and back at Chase. What was he planning? Was he going to make me drunk. I took in a deep breath and looked into his eyes."You are staring" he muttered as he stepped closer. This time I didn't run. For whatsoever reason, I stood my ground "I know" I replied. His eyes roamed around my face and rested on my lips and back to my eyes..what was Chase up to? I had come to home with the aim of fighting with him. Arguing with him. But he was the opposite. He proposed peace. He surprised me, despite the history we had. I could swear he was never going to speak to me again, but he surprised me.To some extent, I began to feel guilty. The last two fight we had came fresh in my head. "Wine?" He said in a breathless voice.I sighed for the one millionth time. It would be unfair to still give him the cold shoulders and those one word replies."Okay"Chase stood up and went to the winery at the side of the kitchen. He filled my glass with wine an
Chase's POVI followed her to kitchen and pretended to get something from the fridge.I noticed she didn't want to look at me. That was weird. I moved closer to her and she in turn moved back. Hmm that was strange. Where did this come from? I needed to know why." I have never seen you this angry at me. What is wrong?" I asked.“Why are you avoiding me?” I said taking a step closer. She didn't say a word, though it looked like she wanted to. The silence stretched and I waited for her to speak but she didn't. Then she turned around, backing me. Finally I had enough.My voice cut through the silence like a blade.Arya didn’t flinch. She didn’t turn either. She kept her back to me, hands on the countertop, pretending to be busy with nothing.I took a step closer.“I asked you a question.”“I heard you,” she replied, tone flat, without sparing me a glance.“And?”“I answered.”“You didn’t.”Another step. Now I was behind her, close enough to feel the tension radiating from her shoulders.
Amanda's POV I moved on with my life. At least I tried. I saw me plunging, my head into work, and everything that came along with it, it felt like it was trying to drive me crazy. I sighed deeply as I got into the elevator to go home that day. Looking myself in the mirror like walls, I could see the boredom and tiredness staring right back at me. Suddenly the only person in the elevator just left and it’s just me. When I was beginning to inch over my thoughts like a measuring tape, I remembered something.“oh I have to call Chanel, today is her birthday” as I fished out my phone from my bag, my phone rang. It was the birthday girl. “Hi Ama!— Chanel’s voice boomed from the other side of the phone— so how is my baby girl doing today? How wanted to know how my best friend is doing today? Chanel asked.I Chuckled. “ Hmm I’m just there, just in the elevator. Heading home, starving and can’t wait to get home”I went on to tell her all that transpired that day at work. Chanel as usual
A changed Alpha or lover Amanda's POV Ever since Alpha Jake went out to see that bitch, Arya, he had completely changed. He no longer gave me attention. The last time he came back and was all smiles. He told the maids to prepared a new room. It was probably for Arya. That bitch was coming back.I felt stupid. Used. I was the one in love with alpha Jake not her. I left the palace and began to work outside but he still didn't notice. I was serving a customer food and saw a couple. It brought back memories. Fond memories of I and the alpha.*****************************************************"**Alpha Jake and I stood in front of the mirror, brushing our teeth together. He finished first, rinsing his mouth and spitting into the sink, looking extremely sexy.He gave me a devilish smirk as he put his toothbrush back onto the countertop next to mine. “Ready?” he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I joked and smiled as he walked up behind me and g
Chase's POV"Drink this your highness" I looked up to see Angus shoving a glass of juice in my face. "For what?" I asked as I looked at him. Angus took a sot beside me. " your Highness you have not been yourself lately look at you you have dark circle is under your eyes" he said. I picked up my phone and looked myself. He was not lying. I sighed.I haven't been sleeping well lately. In fact the night mares were back. Ever since that argument, that fight I had with Arya, I have not being myself. Yesterday I had asked about Arya but I was told she left the pack. Jake had come pick her up. That was made my mood go from bad to worse. Too many sleepless nights and Nightmares knocked me on my ass. I was exhausted and rubbed my eyes. I shit my eyes and wished this was nothing but a bad dream. But the more I thought about it the more real is seemed.I sighed again, taking a sip of the drink. " it doesn't matter how I look like now, all I want is for her to be safe" Angus nodded. He too
Arya's POV Just like I expected Kelsi was waiting for me at home.I sat through Kelsi's words. She didn't spare me at all. She poured her venom on me. I had tried to make her understand but she was not having it." Please hear me out" "No!" Kelsi almost yelled. She gasped recognizing how loud she was getting. " No" she said, taking in a deep breath and then she looked away. I wrung my hands on my lap, like a little child who was being scolded. Kelsi can get like that when ever she gets angry.With how pissed she was with me, how could I tell her I was almost raped. How could I tell that Chase was cursed and brought me here to heal himself. It was not because he wanted his heir or anything. He had his selfish gains."So why did you tell me you were going to end things with Jake?" "I ended things with him""Then why did he come here yesterday?" She said standing, her hands on her waist. I sighed. I stood too."I don't know " I shrugged. " You know how he comes over without telling
Arya's POV The ride back to the black moon pack was a bitter one. Even the calming nature of the river Chile couldn't do anything to make my mood better.After listening to what Jake had said I couldn't have the strength or mental capacity to think about my near rape incident.I had thanked Jake profusely for saving me from that man. He said I took longer from getting back from the bathroom so he decided to go look for me. He heard muffled screams coming from the men's bathroom and he burst in, only to see me lying lifeless and demand was about to take off his clothes. I shuddered listening to him talk. Assuming he was not there what could have happened to me. And when I asked him about the scars and bruises on his body, he went quiet. He didn't want to say anything until I pressed on. Then he told me everything.At first I was angry that he could go and threaten Jake. What the hell does Chase take me for? His toy? His property? I was never his to start with. So why will he go and
Arya's POV My eyes fluttered open. There was light coming only From my left and right. I blinked. Where the hell was I?Where was chamberlain? He's on a holiday at the human side. Good. Chase? Angus? None of these people could feature in my last moments. I sighed. For a moment I just stayed still. My head was pounding with a rhythmic pain. What happened? Was I out drinking again with Kelsi? I searched my brain but I couldn't find Kelsi in my last moments. What the hell happened.I closed my eyes. Trying to remember. And I sure did. My eyes snapped open and I sprang up. So it was not a dream. The man touching my thighs and all. I turned my head frantically. From the look of things, I think I was in a car. Yes. I looked down. Wiggled. I felt no pain. Even there were no scars either. So what happened?Wait who's car is it then? That was when someone turned around from the passenger seat and stared at me with a bright smile."Finally you are awake!" She shrieked. I squinted."Who are
Arya's POV I forced down the bile in my throat as I made my way to Jake's car. This time was not like before. I walked to the car in shame and pain. The reason I wanted to see Jake was that, he wouldn't leave here without seeing me. He was as obstinate like a goat when he wants something and for the first time I could see what my actions had done. Maybe forgiving Jake and meeting him was not really the best. Now he has gotten the idea I was going to give him another chance.So the intent of meeting him was quite simple. Talk to him to end all these bullshit and everyone can go home happy.I looked around me. At the many eyes on me. It was then I saw how my actions were hurting the black moon pack. Imagine having the rival of your pack coming to pick the alpha's mate. The supposed luna.Nah. That didn't make sense. I took in a deep breath. It's all good to end this night.He had on some shades and was on long sleeve. As handsome as ever. I walked up to him. He turned as if he had ey
