Chapter 16 ARIANNA "You don't have any evidence." Her voice was shaking like she was trying to persuade herself instead of debunking my accusations and I chuckled. "You really want to believe that but deep down you know that I might have evidence. If I found you plotting to kill me and was able to avert it, what makes you think that I won't have any evidence?" I smiled at her and she started chuckling. "Whether you have evidence or not doesn't matter. What matters is that Sergio would never believe you even if you tell him so quit it." She looked terrified as she said that and I knee that she was basically shaking in her boots. "Suit yourself then." I went back to lay on the bed smiling to myself for a job well done. I didn't even know that Elena was the one that stabbed me. I had only heard her plotting and applying the poison to her blade and when Sergio told me that they had found the person that stabbed me and locked him up, I was going to leave it at that. But then, guess w
Chapter 17 ARIANNA "The maids tell me that you've been buried here in the library since evening after you left your room. Is there something you're looking for? Perhaps I can help you search for it." Sergios voice breaks through my thoughts and I sigh as I face palm myself. I was searching for something but I wasn't exactly sure what I was. From the woman's scent and energy, I was particularly she wasn't a wolf or a witch. If she was neither of the two, then what the hell was she playing with my head like that. "You don't need to worry." I calmly said and went back to digging through the library looking for what I don't even know about. I just had a strong feeling that once I saw what I was looking for, I was going to know somehow. "Arianna." He called and I wanted to throw a book at his face for disrupting me. Can't he see that I'm confused and shattered, this woman—whoever she is had messed up my brain so bad. "What is it?" I question and thought I know that my voice might se
ARIANNA "If there's something you want Elena, just state it already. I really have no time neither am in the mood to have anything to do with you right now." I loosen the band that held my hair high up in a long pony tail and walk to seat on the chair right in front of my bed side table. "Aww, you look like you want to pass out. I'm not so sorry." I wasn't sure the best way to reply her that I wouldn't sound like I was hurt because that wasn't the vibe I wanted to go with. I wanted to make sure she eventually thinks that I actually don't give a shit about anything. "I'll be outside your door, just in case you need anything," She had a coy smile on her face as she strode out. Halting somewhere near the door, she turned, "After all, I'm obliged to 'help and protect' you." She stated drawing air apostrophes with her hands as a smirk crossed her lips. A smirk that I felt like punching back in. "I need you to do something." I said sharply as she twisted the door knob. "What do you ne
ARIANNA "That's not possible. There's no way my prints would have been on her neck, I didn't even make any attempt to touch her." I protested staring back and forth between them but their looks were the same. That resigned look that made me seem like I was lying. "I'm not lying. Let me see he reports from the werewolves forensic." I demanded and the doctor removed the gloves from his hands and stared at me. "It's only once in a while that we are obliged t search for prints. we don't normally do that s when we do, we try our best to run the check over and over again until we are sure of our result." "Your prints were all over her neck, Luna Arianna." His expression remained fixated on me as he glared at me with a sullen look while Sergio made no attempt to say anything about it. "That can't be possible. I'm sure you all have this twisted." I yelled but no one said a word. "Sergio, you have to believe me. I could never try to strangle her." I turned to Sergio and he only let out
ARIANNA I chuckled when I saw her switch into that pity mood and sniffed while clearing her throat. Preparations for all the lies she would tell, how cute. "I was in the room with the Luna when she suddenly said I should accompany her for a stroll." She began and just at the first sentence I was almost losing it. "Accompany?" I yelled out loud and the elders swerved their eyes to my direction in a warning glance. Though I figured none of them would shout me down since I'm practically their Luna. "Let her finish." The head of the council stated and I gulped down a glass of water that was laying in front of me before shrugging my shoulders and tilting my head to the side. "I am her personal guard so I'm entitled to follow her around wherever she goes. The Luna then told me that she forgot something and I should wait for her on her spot and that was exactly what I did." I chuckled tilting the corner of my lips into a smile so wide, it could be considered maniacal. "Luna, interruptio
SERGIO I had personally told the Elders to make Arianna sit opposite I and Elena so I could get a full glimpse of her face as that would help me stay sane in this kind of situation. If it were up to me, my Luna wouldn't be caught dead in a meeting of questioning even if she killed someone but everyone especially the elders were looking for lopp holes and moments to declare me unfit for the position of ruling the pack and now, that was something i didn't want. Something felt off about this whole thing and evidences pointed at Arianna as the culprit that wanted to choke Elena to death so I couldn't even stand by the side of my Luna which was very frustrating for me. "Alpha Sergio. We're waiting for your last statement before we decide on what to do. Your Luna just threatened Elena with death so it's clear that she indeed tried choking Elena. She has admitted it." The head of the council said and I gritted my teeth looking up from my seat. Arianna was not even trying to make this ea
Chapter 22 SERGIO "I'm sorry what did you say?" I needed to be sure I was hearing properly and it wasn't just my ears playing with me. "Alpha Sergio, you heard me." She stated firmly and if I thought she was pissed before then now, she's enraged. She only uses the Alpha title on me when she's upset or something more than that. "Where did you hear that?" I decided to tread carefully because I have no idea what was running through her mind at that moment. Arianna seemed like a pretty chill person with a dormant wolf but I was the only one that knew what her anger truly looked like. "Don't try to play with your words and answer me. Elena was your first mate, was she not?" She gestured violently with her hands like she was about to fling the glass vase on the table and I shifted backwards instinctively. "Can you calm down first so we can talk about this? You don't look like you want to tell me anything at all neither do you want to hear from me." I said in calm voice and she blinke
ARIANNA I felt really bad lying to Sergio but when you think of it, it is the fastest route to get myself out of that conversation. How exactly was I supposed to explain to him that I was seeing things, hearing things and even getting prophecies? As if that wasn't already unbelievable, I would then tell him that perhaps this things I've been seeing might have a hand in what was choking Elena so it's technically me. "Can I hug you?" He asked softly and I spread my arms wide as he wrapped his strong arms around my waist and breathed into my skin. "I want you to know that no matter what, I'm here for you." He muttered softly and I nodded as I closed my eyes to immense myself in the hug. After few minutes, he detached from my body and then tucked the loose strands of hair on my face behind my ears. "Go back to your room. I'll deal with the rest of this." I smiled at the sound of that before obliging. On the way to my room, I just couldn't stop thinking, Sergio was like water; freezi
ARIANNA “I need to ask you something though.” I suddenly said and let my wolf reconnect back to me “Why? I thought you blocked me out? It was more peaceful and quiet when I couldn't hear everything that's going on inside of your head and now that I can hear it again, I honestly feel like fainting.” She said and I must say that I wasn't well acquainted with wolfs but I'm not exactly sure that any wolf I've met was more dramatic than my wolf. She was the epitome of drama. “You didn't seem attacked when he was here. At other time, even when you were slightly dormant, you would feel uncomfortable snd ready yourself at the sight of anyone.” I explained and she scoffed, laying down on her stomach. “Well, I disn’t seem attacked because I wasn't getting attacked. Isn’t that simple logic?” I grabbed a chunk of my hair and tugged slowly. “Exactly, that's my point. You don't even know him and yet you're making the both of us feel like we've known him for thousand of years.” I scow
