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 “What the hell are you doing with your hands all over my Luna, you punk?” That was the next thing I heard before a loud thud and the sound of bodies colliding into the wall followed after. “Easy there. That's no good way to treat a guest.” Alaric chuckled as he placed his hands on Sergio's fist while they glared daggers at each other like they would really end each other's life. “Punk, you got a Luna and you didn't even bother to tell me about her? That's not so nice. I promise to have my payback moment.” Alaric kept rambling on while Sergio's hands remained tight against his neck. “That doesn't answer my question as to why your hands were on her.” Sergio repeated and i just licked my lips still trying to process what was going on. “I'm sorry, she was falling and someone had to catch her. You weren't there to catch her and I figure that you wouldn't have been so happy if you find out that your mate got wounded when I was nearby.” He stated before Sergio slowly released me.
ARIANNA “What did you see when I was strangling you? I dont think it's a hard question to answer.” I scowled as I stared at Elena who looked like she was in a daze trying to remember what had happened. “You don't remember what happened and you had the guts to say I strangled you? At least if you’re going to claim that i killed you then you have to try and remember some of the things that happened. This is a little pathetic.” I scoffed as her face looked like all the color drained off from her face. “What's wrong? Are you okay?” I asked as her face turned white and pale as if she had seen a ghost. “I'm okay, I'm okay. You said to try and remember what led up to this moment and it felt like those hands were wrapped around my neck once again.” She gasped as her eyes widened like she could see something else that I wasn't seeing. “So what are you seeing? That's what I want to know.” I stated as I kept staring at her pale white face. It's none of my business if she drops dead any seco
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
