CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVEAREOLA’S POV Leo took me to a small dusty shop to change my appearance. I was scared at first and prayed I would love the new me. “Hello, Miss,” The old man yelled from the course as we entered the shop. I looked at the old man and he was a mess. I doubted he would be the one to do my makeover. His face was covered in wrinkles and dust, although that wasn't the problem. His skin was also dry and cracked, and He had most of his teeth missing, and the ones he had left were yellow and crooked. He was wearing old, tattered clothes that were covered in dust and dirt. He has grey hair which was messy, and it's sticking out in all directions. He looked like he'd been living in the desert for years. His eyes were a warm, brown color, which was the only attractive feature he had, and they seemed to be smiling at me. I knew he was one of the people that got banished from the pack and I felt a little sorry for him, but at the same time, I was curious
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIXRYAN’S POV I have been bedridden for the past six days and I made sure all my windows were locked. Mourning Aria was even harder than I thought, what if she fell in love there, would she forget me? Numerous questions were going through my head and I was not myself. Trina had not visited me since I told her how much I was disappointed with her. For all I care, she is the cause of Aria’s death and we would never meet eye to eye again. “You need to bathe, Man,” Grimon. My wolf groaned within me, but I ignored him. “I don't mind that you want to lock yourself up, but take a shower at least,” He sneered again.“Leave me alone, I want to be left alone,” I groaned, knowing I can't be left alone, Grimon would always be with me, and that alone was pissing me off. My mate's bond with Aria was still there and I don't know if I was stupid but I still felt my heartbeat, I still had hopes she was alive. “Grow up man, Aria is dead and you have to leave with it,” Grimo
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENRYAN’S POV Today was going to be different, I could feel like. It had been a month since Aria’s death, it wasn't easy moving on but I had to regardless. I still felt our mate bond but I have grown used to ignoring it. Spending time with her was the best thing the moon goddess did for me. But since it was all home, I am now with Natalie, we aren't married, we are just dating, and getting to know each other. It has been fun with Natalie, and she reminds me of Aria probably that's the reason I could live with her.“Why are you thinking of it again? It's still morning,” Natalie yawned as she rode to my side of the bed. She placed her head on her neck and I stroked her hair softly.“Just thinking of how far we have come,” I said and she chuckled. Natalie raised her head and then she kissed me, I kissed her back because it wasn't our first kiss, we kissed a lot. She was becoming aggressive while kissing me and her hand was travelling everywhere in my bod
CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTRYAN’S POV I didn't want to move closer to Natalie, I didn't want to believe that she was proposing to me. “Come on, Ryan, don't keep her waiting,” Trina giggled, if I had known this was Trina’s emergency I wouldn't have come. With a deep breath, I walked closer to Natalie, and from nowhere I felt people pouring glitter on me. This proposal was fucking girly.“Careful,” I yelled, trying to get the glitters from my eyes. Finally when I did, I looked around and saw my stepmom and sister on the right side, they were all beaming at me. To my left was Jules and his men, clapping their hands loudly. Why would Natalie do this to me? I wasn't even ready for another marriage. “We need to take, Natalie,” I said, walking closer to her, and she smiled.“Yes we need to talk, firstly I am sincerely sorry about this morning, I know Aria meant a lot to you and I am sorry for talking shit about her,” She apologized and I nodded my head in response.“I am not mad at yo
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINEAREOLA’S POV Being in Trinity’s pack for a month now but it seemed like a year. Leo and I got married and agreed that we would get divorced after my kids turned five because I didn't want to belong to any man. All the men I had ever been with wanted my head on a silver platter. I looked at the mirror with a wide smile on my face as I applied oil on my baby bump. I can't wait to see my kids, people say I am carrying twins while others rumor it to be a big fat baby. Left for me, I think there are two babies inside me.“It's time for hunting,” Nicole said rudely, snapping me from the thought of my baby or Babies.“I know, I'm ready,” I sneered at her, as I grabbed my traps and placed them over my shoulders. Nicole and I aren't on good terms, She feels I stole Leo away from her, Leo doesn't see it that way, he doesn't understand when a woman loves you.“If you are, you would be gawking at yourself in the mirror,” She dragged the issue. I tried to stay
CHAPTER FORTYAREOLA’S POV My head was spinning and I could barely feel my feet. “Auu, My head,” I groaned, placing my hands on my head.“Areola,” I heard Donna’s voice and my eyes opened slowly.“What the fuck happened?” I asked, because my memory was hazy, and my head hurt so bad that I could barely think. “I went to search for you and I caught Nicole hitting you with a stone,” She said and my memory came back to me. Without thinking I reach for my belly hoping nothing happened to my child.“You baby is alright, how are you feeling?” She asked and I shrugged. I was feeling a little better but the urge to punch Nicole in the face but I kept my cool.“Where is Leo?” I asked, trying to sit up but Donna held me down.“He is in the back, drilling Nicole, that witch tried to kill you, I can't believe it,” Donna's voice sounded pathetic, It looked like Nicole was a cool-headed person, but my beef with her made me not notice.“That bitch, I wish I could snap her neck,” Moxilla said
CHAPTER FORTY-ONERYAN’S POV I didn't know whether to go in search of Natalie, so I just paced around my room. What if she was lying? I didn't know what to do exactly. When I was tired of pacing, I sat in my bed and stared at the note she had written me. I never saw Jules as a man who would hit his daughter, but this does not read otherwise.“Hello,” I heard her voice Trina finally came, with a smile I turned and saw Trina knocking at my window. Since Aria died, Trina’s lifestyle has changed, she is embarrassed by the fact that she was a tomboy and started learning how to use a sword, she came out to everyone that she was gay and cut her hair. Finally, she was always coming to my room through the window.“You know you can use the door huh?” I asked, going over to open the window for her.“Then where is the fun in that,” She scoffed, as she entered the room. She was wearing leather pants and a white shirt, with a manly boot on her feet. The board members had talke
CHAPTER FORTY-TWORYAN’S POV Natalie slowly turned around, with a grin on her face, when she raised her head and saw it, She fell to the ground and started crying.“He tried to kill me,” She yelled, looking at Jules's dead body. Trina ran to her and gave her a tight hug.“He is gone now and you are going to be fine, I promise,” Trina said, still hugging her. I went to Jules's body to examine it and it didn't look like there was a struggle, the fresh wound in his stomach made it clear that she intentionally did it. I saw a hole in his heart, Natalie had ripped his heart from his chest, so this was hardly a fight.“What did you do to him, Natalie?” I asked, looking at her like a criminal.“What did you just say, Ryan,” Trina asked, releasing herself from the tight hug with Natalie. “There was hardly a fight here, Natalie killed Jules,” I argued, and the anger on Trina’s face was palpable. I didn't know when a punch came to my face roughly and I landed on the floor. I cou
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOURAREOLA'S POV When I got the letter, I went straight to Klaus's house in my carriage, it was a fucking long journey, just as expected. Klaus want me to see him and I was curious about what he wanted to talk about and I was still surprised that he had already recovered, or was so fucking quick. “Do you think it is a good idea because the last time you saw him…”“I know what happened, Moxilla and I know it isn't a good idea,” I said, getting tense. I don't know what it would be like, with Klaus's wicked eyes staring at me, and it was getting me tensed up.“You can do this, don't let them see you nervous,” Moxilla said, giving me warm comfort. It has been a long time since Moxilla comforted me. We were always having a series of disagreements, non-stop, so it felt good to get one from her.“Thank you, I appreciate it,” I said, cleaning my sweaty palms on my dress. Soon we were at his mansion, it wasn't as huge as Ryan's. I looked around from
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREERYAN'S POV I sat on my seat watching all my board members exchange words, just because I brought it to their notice that I would be planning to be married to Areola.“You can't marry another woman and leave Natalie to be engaged,” Greenwood growled. I knew why he was supportive of Natalie he has fucked her too much and knows that if she loses her place in my life he can no longer be the Lycan king, something he had always wished for even when my father was alive.“Natalie fought against him, that was the day their engagement ended, you can't fight with the one you love,” a lady that I have never noticed before says. I was tempted to ask for her name but I didn't, we were in meetings. By her appearance, I knew she was a middle-aged woman, probably because her husband just died and her son wasn't old enough to become a board member.“Sit your ass down,.she is also an Alpha she has to protect her pack even if it means losing the Lycan king, tha
CHAPTER ONE& HUNDRED TWENTY-TWOAREOLA'S POV Two days ago, Natalie stopped me and told me about her feelings for Ryan and I warned her to stay away from him. I know it might be wrong to fight over a man but I was ready to go tooth and nail with Natalie. She isn't making me scared.“I thought we fucking agreed to move out of here once we get back from the Vampires, these assholes don't like you and your kids are going to get it harder,” Moxilla groaned. I didn't know what to say, Moxilla was right but I can't run away from Natalie, not again, I did that before and it didn't go well.“I can't keep running, Moxilla, I have to fight for my kids and their future,” I protested, as I wanted to show Nataliw that I was good at this game and that she took me by surprise the other day.“Don't put your children at risk because of your ego,” Moxilla objected to what I said. I ignored her, there was a list of people I was going to deal with and I was not going easy on them, Olivia, Davina,
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONEAREOLA'S POV Ryan just kept quiet and looked at me for some explanation but I wasn't in any mood for that, so I ignored his stares.What the fuck just happened? He asked.“Nothing,” I replied to his question as I took out a blue dress from my wardrobe to wear. I wasn't in the mood of having sex after the heated conversation I had with Trina, she is a fucking asshole and I hate her guts.“Trina just called you a dog and when I entered the atmosphere was uncomfortable, since you recovered you have hated Trina and I messed up,” he said, as I slipped in my blue long dress which was long to my feet.“Ryan, it isn't something you should get yourself worried about, it is under control,* I said, and packed my hair in a messy bun.“So how the fuck was your meeting?*” I asked deliberately to change the conversation. Ryan, I blamed myself deeply after realizing that I didn't want to talk about Trina. “It was fine and I told them our wedding would be com
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWENTYTRINA'S POV I stood outside and waited for her to let me in but she didn't want to.“What are you doing here?” She asked, which was unlike her.“I came to see how you are doing, I don't think that is something bad to go,” I said and Areola rolled her eyes.“What the fuxk do you want?” She asked, looking angry. I was not certain she remembered everything that happened just by looking at how she was responding to me, I knew she was doubting something.“Why are you speaking to me rudely? If there is something I did that was wrong, please tell me or let it out, I can't have a fight with the only friend I have ever made,” I said, trying my best to look sad and I could see her eyes getting soft.“What happened, and what did you do to me?” Areola asked as she gave me space to come on. My palm was working and very soon Areola and I would be on a clean slate again.“The Vampire, whose name is James, tried to kill…,”“How the fuck do you know how he was a Jam
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND NINETEENAREOLA'S POV Two days have gone by since Davina told me something strange about Trina and I found it hard to believe. She told me that Trina was in trouble and would be killed soon. She overheard Trina begging Natalie to be her ally so she doesn't die. I felt and was saying bullshit, and ignored her, probably Trina was looking for a way to get on my good side. I dismissed Davina and shoved that Experience away.“But you know she could be right, Trina doesn't look like who would want you dead, she adores you,” Moxilla said and I just shook my head. During the long run of my life, My heart had gotten stronger than Moxilla’s heart and I don't blame her, someone needs to be soft among the two of us.“So you are ignoring me now? Huh?” Mozilla sneered at me.“You don't know Trina, I do and I know how good she is but there has always been something fishy about her even if I tried to ignore to ignore,” I said but that was a damn lie, I just wanted M
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN.AREOLA'S POV Ryan and I lay on the bed, sweating and breathing heavily. It had been so long that I felt such a great sensation and I was certain that this was all I needed for a full recovery.“How was it?” He asked, rolling over, to give me a peck on my forehead.“It was electric and I didn't know it would be that awesome, you have grown over the years,” I chuckled and saw him blush a little.“You are the best thing that has ever happened to me,” he said and I rolled my eyesMen always say these words of affection after sex, and most of the time they don't mean it. I didn't give him a response and he looked at me with questions in his eyes, wanting to know if something was wrong and I wasn't responding to him.“I mean it, Areola,” he assured but I didn't believe him.“Men always say these words of affection after sex, so I don't believe it any longer,” I said, and he just let out a sigh.“How many men have you been with?” He asked.“Three, Klaus,
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEENTRINA'S POV When Davina saw me, she was shaking like a Jellyfish, and I knew she overheard the conversation.“Get the fuck in here,” I growled and she walks inside, still there was fear in her eyes. I locked the door.“Who sent you,” Natalie snapped, as she walked toward Davina.“No one, I just came here to see Trina…”“Lady Trina, don't piss me off,” I sneered at her. When we were dating, she didn't use my title when calling my name but now we are strangers, we need to lessen the formality, this whore broke my heart go piece.“Lady Trina, she is my girlfriend,” She said, and immediately Natalie and I burst out laughing.“You wish, she doesn't do slums like you,” Natalie chuckled, looking at Davina like she was thrashed. I hated how Natalie looked at her but I didn't correct it. Davina broke my heart and that I was still a bit in love with her, was making me hate myself.“But she once fucked me and sucked my slum pussy which she testified was
CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTRINA’S POVI was walking uncontrollably in my room, pacing around like something bad happened and something bad happened. The day we went to get Areola and her kids from the hands of my Vampires who have shown loyalty to me, she caught me. I followed Ryan to get his family and told them to make a loud noise to scare the Vampire away, but I wanted to use it to tell the Vampires it was time to move the captives and we had been busted. But they didn't, rather they waited till we came so they could pick up a fight, just the two of them. I was so angry that they were still there when Ryan and the other men came. When they saw me, they were shocked, thinking I had sided with their enemies, so James came for me. I convinced him that I wasn't with Ryan and Areola caught us talking, she heard everything and I didn't know what to do so I hit her with a plank of wood, thinking she would not survive it but she did, and now I don't know if she remembers.
