Arya’s POVThe first person I saw when I opened my eye was an angry looking Landon. He wasn’t looking at me, though. I used that opportunity to look around.For starters, I didn’t know where I was or what happened last. On looking around, I saw the Walls were beautifully decorated like it was something made for the royals. The ceiling was so high and it had beautiful chandeliers. Suddenly the place was familiar. I remember seeing it once or twice. It was when I saw like 10 guards, (I lost count when I became almost dizzy) I knew I was at the palace court. And with the way, they were many guards, swarming all around me, I knew I was in trouble. I blinked for a while to find out that Landon had been staring at me. He didn’t look happy to see me, so I tried to smile but I couldn’t. He too tried to smile but his smile didn’t reach his eyes. He suddenly stood up and left.“Come everyone she’s awake!” he threw the words behind him leaving. The guards roughly brought me to my feet.I saw the
Arya’s POVONE MONTH LATER“Cham don’t go too far!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.“Okay mum!” he yelled back.Today is mountain climbing. Ever since I got back my son I decided to do more activities with him. Love him more. Spend more time with him. After what had happened, we all needed some healing. Kelsi stayed more with me these days. She says she was so afraid when I was almost killed.Chase had been silent though after killing everyone behind my false accusation and Chamberlin missing. I begged that he let Nia live. He banished her and she fled lycanthropy to the human world.“Dad!” I turned around to see Chase and Angus in the woods. Chase lifted our son and hugged him. Ewe exchanged pleasantries but there seemed to be some change in him. I couldn’t pin point it but I knew he changed.**************************************************************************************It was on the fourth day of the moon festival, at noon that I finally decided to leave the confines of t
Arya’s POVHis hair was as black as charcoal. The darkest shade. He had tied them pony tail style. His blinked and I couldn’t help but notice his long lashes. His eyes were golden. The kind that were hypnotizing. I could stare at them all dayMy eyes lowered to his lips and I swallowed. Plump, slightly pink lips that begged to be kissed. I wanted badly to know how he taste.If there was a word to describe the man seated beside me, only one word came to mindBreathtaking.“Hello damsel visit me up here for a sec” the deep baritone interrupted my assessment.I snapped my eyes up at him. I lowered my eyes immediately. “Was I so obvious?” I muttered in hopes of not being heard, as I played with a little fray on my dress.“Yes” he replied with a smile, revealing a perfect dentition. Gosh! Does the moon goddess still make men like this? I couldn’t bear to look at himI’d turn to molten magma. I peeked my eyes at him. He smiled.“Drink” he pointed to a glass positioned in front of me“Oh” I
Chase’s POVI watched Arya squeeze her face in disgust as soon as I and Angus and Kelsi joined her in the beach. I sniffed the air. There was nothing rotten in the air. So what was that? I was about to speak to her when she looked away. As if avoiding me.I turned to Angus and he blinked. So I let it slide. We tried to talk and all but Arya was the least responsive. She just her head down, staring at a magazine. I just had to ask questions.“Arya” she looked up at me. “You okay?” She immediately nodded and continued reading the magazine. I stared at Angus again and he shrugged. Suddenly she stood up from the cane chair.“I think I’ll go inside now,” she said. “Kelsi are coming?”Kelsi who was eating an Ice Cream, didn’t notice her stand.“Kelsi!”“What? What?” she turned around.“Are you coming?” Arya asked. Kelsi was yet to catch up on it until it hit her.“Sure sure” she stood up and waved at Angus before leaving.I sighed and relaxed on the chair.“Your highness, these things take
Chase’s POVWhile I went to bed that night with a huge grin, I had no idea what awaited me the next day.By morning I got a message from a messenger. It was from my uncle. The alpha at the Drix pack. He asked that I honor him with my presence that evening. It was the exact time I had fixed for the Picnic with Arya. While I stayed pondering on what next to do, there was a knock on my door. I gave permission and the door opened.“Good morning your highness” I turned around to find Mika in my room.“Ah Mika, glad to have you back” I smiled. Before she could reply me, there was a knock. Angus and dean and Hercules came in.“I’m sure your highness, had the best of sleep” everyone except Mika burst into laughter. They knew of my plan to take Arya and my son on a Picnic.I smiled. “Rascals” they laughed. “Come on get out of here”“What’s happening?” Mika asked“come on” let’s go I’ll tell you later” Hercules smiled at her as they left my room*************************************************
Arya’s POVI stared at my watch for the umpteenth time. It was 8pm. I sighed. I gazed down at my lap. The once Agile son of mine is now in a deep sleep. It was his bed time and exactly way past any kind of picnic.“Come on Kelsi let’s go inside” I said as cried my son and began leaving the beach.“Wait Arya—““Angus I don’t want to hear any of those excuses for your boss” I snapped at him. Kelsi looked sad. The both of them. I began to feel guilty for the way I had spoken to them.“I’m sorry guys” I muttered. Kelsi came around and engulfed me in a bear hug.“I understand baby” she mumbled. When she released me, I stared into her eyes recalling how crazy I was last night. She had sat through all my ranting’s. Talking about how Chase didn’t like me anymore and what not. She told me that it was all in my head. As Chase was still crazy for me. Then he asked me out on a picnic date. I was ecstatic. Over the moon. Only for him to stand me up.Slowly I stood up from the mat. “Help me” I said
Arya’s POV“Unfortunately I can’t” Chase replied. His eyes had gone a shade darker. He looked like a different person.“All you say you never do. Leave me alone” I began to walk further and I noticed he wasn’t following me. I felt disappointment. He just wanted his son and not me. “I don’t think I’m important to him”With the speed of light, Chase zoomed and was right in front of me. I almost jumped. he looked like that cold ass guy I had met first. He had that sort of look that seemed like he was smirking at me. I hissed. He is still being cocky.“You are important to me.” He stated as he willed me to look into his eyes. I didn’t know I had said that out loud.When I saw that he had answered that. I tried for another question I had deep in my heart.“Even if I was important I don’t know how you feel about me. I don’t know–“Immediately Chase grabbed me and pushed me against a tree. “Do you want to know how I feel for you?” his voice was dangerously low. My heart thundered that I thou
Kelsi's POV“How the freaking hell do you explain to me that you and Rita are not doing anything behind my back” I said calmly while putting more milk in my smoothie.After leaving Arya in the beach, I walked to my room dropped some stuff, only to find Angus speaking with the head maid, Rita. I was no fool to notice how she has been trying to always being his face. She wanted my man and that irked me so bad.“ Oh my God— Angus ran his hands over his head, the exhaustion in his eyes was so obvious even to the blind but right now I didn’t care– “babe how many times am I going to tell you that Rita was just doing that to get to you. You know –“ I cut him short.“oh please save your same old explanation for the next dummy because that is not me!” I slammed the glass a bit too hard on the kitchen counter. I began to cook dinner. As I was mixing the fruits that night, I was boiling on the inside.“And also Angus, Rita likes you—” I turned to find out that it was me raging in my kitchen. I c
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
