Arya’s POVI jerked up awake. What is it with me and dreams lately? I had no idea what they meant. Each one was getting weirder than the last one. I sat up and ran a hand over my hair. Why did I have to choose between Chase and Jake? Chase is cruel and mean and cocky. He is the kind of man I didn’t want in my life, but he made me anxious. Giddy. And I think I like it.As for Jake…. He… I don’t think I’m ready to let go. He hurt me but I still have something for him. I turned around. Chamberlain was sleeping soundly. A slow smile began to spread on my lips. My son was the only beautiful thing in my life at the moment. Though life has been hard on us I haven’t for one day regretted having him in my life. He is the reason I haven’t fully considered suicide.Chamberlin had a right to know his father but I doubt, that is the only reason Chase tracked me down to the human world and asked him to be his date at the full moon ceremony. To make matters worse, he marked me. And I found out he wa
Arya’s POV“Mum why are you crying?” Chamberlin wiped a tear off my eyes and I chuckled.“It’ nothing honey” I smiled as I cleaned my face. Chamberlin didn’t look convinced.“Was it what I said?” he probed further. I took in to my arms and began to tickle him. He fell over with laughter.“Yes it’s what you said” I said laughing.“I’m sorry” he smiled when our laughter had quieted down.“You don’t have to be” I replied. “I sniffed and wiped a teat off my eyes. “Come one, let’s get the food before it gets cold” I said.Just as we were about to begin, I felt some presence behind me. I turned immediately and almost jumped. There were twp. hefty looking men behind me. They didn’t say a word or do anything. Thy just stood there like trees. Chamberlin gasped as he leaned into me.I stared at my son, anger burned through my heart.“What do you want?” I asked.“I’m sorry ma’am but we were asked to stand here” one of them said.“What? Who did that? Who asked you to?”“The Alpha the other one re
Chase’s POVThe sun had just risen when I woke up fully naked. Memories of my transitioning to wolf filled my memories. Blood marring my senses. It was without mercy. The girl I had saved, Nia began to tell me some truths about my pack.I had snitches amongst my guards.So all through yesterday I was sniffing out Snitches and ending them. I hated betrayers. I would not allow people like Genevieve in my life any longer. Recalling how vicious I was, I smirked. The way I killed them yesterday, years to come people would still to be talking about my brutality.I liked that fear breeds respect and orderliness. Though I had worked with this concept since I became monstrous, but people still went behind my back.Sitting up, covered with leaves from waist down I began to look around me. At my surroundings. At my skin. My rarity.In the land of Lycanthropy, there were werewolves born to stand out amongst the others. They were stronger. Faster. Had more intellect. And were always leaders. These
Chase’s POVMy eyes went straight to Angus. He is already white in the face. He had to do something now, or it could go from bad to worse. Kelsi wasn’t going to take this lightly.I began “Angus you have—““Angus!” Kelsi marched forward ready to lunge at the twin. “You asshole! I’ll kill you” Kelsi shoved the girl aside and smacked Andrew right in the face.“Kelsi stop” Arya yelled as she tried to hold her but was no match for an angry werewolf.Andrew stared at her with wide eyes. He was too shocked to speak. She began to run with the girl he was kissing. We rushed to them before it got worse.“What did you do that for?” Andrew cried out.“Kelsi! Wait,” Angus screamed. She turned around, and her eyes went wide. It was then that I realized she was with Arya.Kelsi looked at the twins. Her lips gently curled into a smile. “There are two of you?” she turned to Andrew, smiling apologetically.“Yes,” Angus frowned. “Hello brother” he glared at Andre “What happened to your phone Andrew? Yo
Chase’s POVI walked into the room of the little man and I saw three small chairs in front of a small table. I glanced at Arya. Did she tell him about this?“Cham, what’s all this? You haven’t slept?” the little man shook his head.“Come on have a seat” he gestured to the little chair. I and Arya exchanged a look and sat. The chair was small but strong. For a moment I thought it would break apart. I noticed the way my son behaved. Like a little adult. Then it occurred to me that he must have grown fast because I was not in the picture. There was a tightness in my throat. I felt like a horrible person. I swallowed and continued watching home. I was prepared for anything that would come out of this meeting. Even rejection. I would take it but I will always love my son. No matter what.Chamberlin turned around. He grabbed some clothes and handed one to me and Arya. I didn’t know what I was to do with it. It was when he sat and draped the blanket across his neck that we knew it was to cov
Anastasia’s POV“Natalia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed again.I had been raging since the mating ceremony in the east high pack. Why? Jake was going to take another mate. That was not possible at least while I was alive.I recalled the moment I saw Arya and Jake being all sweet. The love between them was lovely and all but I didn’t care. I wanted a new life I wanted fame and money. Just like mum when she married Arya’s father. Though the man is washed up now, I could see how strategic mum was in bagging him. I knew if I didn’t act fast, I might not be able to get a chance at a better life. It felt like I would have missed out on the only opportunity in my life.While I plotted on how to take Jake away from Arya, the only thing that kept me on track was my dream. I always fantasized about how I would be Jake’s mate. I even boasted to my friends that my coronation ceremony would soon be happening. And when it finally happened, it was the talk of the town. Everyone was talking about how
Arya’s POVI rolled and stretched like a lazy cat. Yawning, I sat up in bed, rubbing my hands over my eyes. “What time is it?” I muttered. Just then there was an impatient knock on my door. I scowled. “Who could it be at this early?”“Who’s there?” I screamed as I dragged my half-awake self out of bed. I’d already imagined myself scolding this person who was disturbing me. Halfway to the door, I immediately felt like punishing my said person. I decided to use the bathroom. I didn’t open the door, till I was through with my business in the bathroom.“Do You want to—““Arya, what were you doing all along?” Kelsi brushed past me and walked into the room. Then she suddenly turned. “You aren’t dressed?”I scratched my head, wondering what was going on.I gasped, clasping a hand over my mouth. “I slept in!” instantly I rushed into the bathroom.“What happened?” Kelsi asked I screamed as the cold water made contact with my body.“I don’t know. I slept past the alarm. I think I was tired.” I
Arya’s POVI noticed people were beginning to stare. The murmuring was becoming too loud to ignore. Even all the music had stopped. No one was dancing. Everyone was looking in our direction. That was the exact stuff I didn’t want. Having attention on me. I wanted nothing but to disappear into thin air.I grabbed my other hand. In a bid to stop it from shaking. I looked from Chase’s dark, narrowed eyes to Jake and Anastasia’s smirking smile. I knew something bad was going to happen. Something brutal. Involving blood. Chase was never the patient one. He always acted. Showed his anger. Never tolerated. At times he can be crafty but I think he’s not as impulsive as people think.“Hello FRIEND” Jake smirked as he made sure to emphasize his last word. I turned to Chase. He stared at them and deadpanned. Then he rubbed a hand over his eyes.“Who let this dog in here” gasps erupted through, while some people sniggered. And just like that the smirk on Jake and Anastasia’s face was wiped off.“
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
