Ariana's POVAs soon as Claire asked her question, the other girls' eyes started to roam about us. Emily was looking at us with a look of adoration while Sophie was gazing at us with puzzlement across her face. Charlotte on her own just looked at us with no hint of an emotion displayed on her face while Claire on the other hand was staring at us so hard with suspicion marring her features."So you guys are just noticing our dresses now?" Diana asked with a broad smile on her face, trying to diffuse the tension that blanketed us like a thick cloud.As I looked around, other people from the tables near ours were staring too, and they were not making any effort to hide the fact. Clearly, they wanted to know why the most popular clique were standing around instead of going out and why two out of them were putting on the same clothes, albeit ones with different colors."It's not only the dresses that are the same. Look at the boots too. The only difference is in the color and the length. D
Ariana's POVAs I sat down on the same couch I had occupied yesterday in the Alpha's office, doing the same thing I had been doing yesterday (compiling records of the pack members across various topics and years) my mind flashed back to the blankness I had felt just minutes earlier when the Alpha had spoken of a public whipping.When he spoke of it I had been puzzled and my brain had been blank. What was he talking about? Who was the public whipping meant for? I tried and tried to search my brain for something, anything but I came up with nothing. Nothing at all. He seemed to have seen the confusion I felt displayed all over my face because he came to my rescue immediately. "Do you not remember that yesterday, I sentenced Colin from the kitchen to a penance of public whipping after he tried to come between me and my pack members? Surely you should not have forgotten about it by now. It happened barely a day ago," the Alpha said coldly and his voice reverberated throughout the whole r
Ariana's POVAs the head guard spoke those words and left the dining hall as fast as he had come in, the voices that had quieted before when he stepped into the dining room resumed and people started speaking with urgency in their tones. Everyone was trying to talk at the same time because of the urgency of the situation. They contemplated the situation at hand and wondered who the person that had been unfortunate enough to get sentenced to a public whipping after more than a year's respite was. What had the person done? they wondered. Who was the unfortunate person even? they asked themselves but they didn't get an answer because there was no person in the dining hall presently who was privy to such information, or so they thought.I on my own part was still seating with my friends on our regular table when I had the news from the head guard. I tried to control my reaction, gasping in shock just like the rest of my friends. As I looked at their bewildered faces, my face mirrored the
Ariana's POVI stood there, rooted to the ground in shock as I stared at the massive form of Alpha Derek on the raised platform in front of where we stood. He was dressed in a black robe with hair slicked back and a sword slung over his shoulder. He looked the picture of a true Alpha as he stared off toward the horizon, his whole body still like that of a stature. He never turned as teenagers began filing into the empty space in front of the pack house but I knew he could sense that he knew that people were even though no one standing outside had talked since they arrived.Most of the teenagers had come outside in with laughter and chatter but as soon as they caught sight of the Alpha standing there with the aura of power surrounding him, they had fallen quiet at once. No one- not even the most hard headed of all the teenagers could dare to risk the Alpha's wrath. Alpha Derek hadn't even asked anyone not to talk but just his posture conveyed the message to everyone.It seemed as thoug
Ariana's POVIt was the day after the public whipping and I was emotionally drained after witnessing what the head guard, Reece did to Colin and how he was after everything. Colin's back had looked like a slab of raw meat that had been stabbed over and over again. The silver whip that had been used on him left long red marks on his angry and battered skin that I doubted whether the skin on his back would ever heal completely. The whole skin on his back had been molested and even if I didn't like him, I still pitied him. Hell, I pitied how he had looked after the whole ordeal. He hadn't even been unconscious, and my guess was that they had carried him to the pack's infirmary to treat him in his poor state but I couldn't be too sure because I didn't now how they did things in this place. Hell, I had never even witnessed a public whipping before now. My uncle, Mr. White, the Alpha of Blue Moon Pack had been callous and heartless but not to the extent of organizing a public whipping for
Ariana's POVAs I walked toward the source of the sound, dreading what I would find there, I was certain that someone was screaming. After all, it was only a human being who could produce sounds like that; an animal could not. As I continued my trek along the hallway, I hoped that the screaming person was not in some kind of danger. But if the person was not in danger, what then was the cause of such pained screams I was hearing? It had to be something dangerous. Still, I pushed my thoughts aside and placed my focus on finding the source of the screaming.As I walked further and further along the hallway, I was surprised that I had not yet gotten to the source of the sound. It had sounded more closer than it seemed when I first heard it. Why then had I not gotten to it yet after about a minute of walking? Still I was determined to locate the screaming person and do what I could to ease their pain because clearly, the person was in pain. I just hoped that when I finally traced the scr
Ariana's POVAs I stared at Colin who was still glaring at me, it took me a moment to compose the thoughts in my muddled up brain and put two and two together. Claire was here and she was putting on a pure white dress like that of a nurse, right? And I remember Emily telling me just the day before about the career choices all the girls chose after high school. I also remember her telling me that Claire was training to be a nurse.As I added all these details together, I was able to come up with a picture. This place was the pack's infirmiry- now that I remember, that sign on the entrance door had signified it- and Colin had been brought here to be treated after the harrowing assault on his back so I could guess that Claire was the nurse attending to him and I could only assume that the other lanky woman who was standing next to Claire and holding a clipboard was the doctor. The doctor narrowed her eyes at me just like Claire was doing and tried to communicate with me emphatically but
Ariana's POVAs Colin, the former cook lunged toward me, it was just like the scene with the wolf from when I had just come into this pack. The wolf had lunged at me and I had been defenseless. This scene too was like that, only that the difference in them was that the first time, a large black wolf had charged at me but this time, it was a pudgy middle aged man who had an injury covering his entire back. The difference was clear.The wolf that had tried to kill me then was the Beta of this pack but that was not the point. The point was that if I could manage to dodge the wolf of the Beta of this pack, clearly a strong man, then who was a sick fat man that I couldn't dodge? I shifted my stance, positioning myself properly against his massive frame. Before long he was almost on me, his huge stomach in my face when I side stepped him at the last moment, making him fall to the floor of the room with a heavy thud. I had known exactly how he wanted to move. He had wanted to land on me as
Ariana's POVMargaret's body was burning to ashes at my sight."I hope I never see you again," I mumbled, retracting my step, and staggering backward.I ran towards the cage where Derek was being locked."Derek?"I looked at him in askance.It was as if he knew what I was going to say next. He replied, "I'm fine."After I had broken to pieces the cage in which Derek was locked, he walked forth wrapping his hands around my waist. He leaned his face closer to mine, the air emanating from his nostril fanning against my upper lip.My heart beat at that as I felt a tight squeeze within my palm."Ariana..." He called in a whisper, the tone of his voice arousing the lust within my body. I whimpered, a gasp of air escaping my lips."Yes..."I stammered, trying to flinch my face away from him a few inches. He pulled my head closer to his, cupping my chin. My eyes shut tight, as I felt his lips brushing against my lip. He pried my lips apart with his lips, his tongue stealthily roaming the insi
Derek's POVI felt an ache in my heart on the remembrance of my parents. But now, I couldn't fathom the feeling that was lingering in my heart for the moment.My look was on the newborn-born baby which was lying beside Ariana.Ariana had wanted to kill herself but luckily enough she was stopped.The prophecy had revealed that the blood of my heir will be used to stop an unknown war."Ariana, "I called in a whisper, squeezing her hands softly under my palm.She was embarrassed and shamed. "My love," I called in a cheerful tone to make her understand that I wasn't mad at her.I mean I was once filled with rage but I couldn't bare to hurt her because no matter how hard I try, I couldn't bring myself to hurt her."There's something I wish to bring to your knowledge.""Aren't you mad at me? Aren't you going to kill me?" She asked in a doubtful tone, retracting her hand from mine.I paused, bringing myself into deep thought. I was mad! She brutally killed my parents even though I had only s
Derek's POVFate was unfair!I took a deep breath down, whirling around to come in face contact with White.The state he was funny enough for me to gloat. I scoffed, raising my upper lip."White!" I roared his name with the color of his eyes growing dim. His mouth was partially apart, his back was staggering. He was going to collapse any moment from now!"See you in hell!"I spouted, sending a heavy kick across his chest.I stomped forward in an attempt to walk away. "Derek..."She uttered in a faint tone.I ignored walking past her and slamming my sword into its shield. My hips were swaying from right to left, even, sounds were emanating from my footsteps.A tiny and soft hand yanked my elbow, I stopped in my trance with me blinking my eyes."Derek, we have to find Ariana and make her pay for this!" She cried out.I yanked my elbow away from her grip, walking away. She jumped to my front with her hands spreading sideways. "What do you think you're doing Claire?""Don't tell me, Dere
Ariana's POVI walked majestically like the Luna that I was with eyes blazing like a prickle thorn which was soaked with blood."He killed my parents and I also will kill his.""I heard Derek's parent's abode is still far from the main palace, why don't you take me there so I could sum up everything?" My uncle echoed behind me with his hands tightly wrapped around the cleat of the sword."Yes, uncle," I responded with my lower lips curving into beautiful smiles.I was weak as of the past few minutes, just now that my Uncle had demanded of me to show him the way to Derek's parents' abode, I felt seeping liquid gushing into my system, and my weak legs became strong all of a sudden, overall it I felt energized.Arriving at the fortress behind, I whirled with my face staying opposite of his. I winked with my brow, to show him the answers.He arched his face into a displeasing smirk, slapping the hems of his cloak behind him, he stomped forward with me following closely behind him."Ariana
Ariana's pov"Attack!" I ordered since I was given a general position.My uncle had installed me as the new general of Yorkshire. As the general, I'll be the executor to carry out the attack.My eyes were laced with gold and fury, I was sitting on the horse with my unsheathed sword stuck to my hips.Shrill air escaped from my lips, as I exhaled heavily.My inner wolf had embarked on a malice race with me ever since I yelled at her.**The previous minutes.I had called on the attention of the archers to come forth, they dipped their arrows into gasoline before putting it inside the fire and then aiming in the air.My voice came to ringing through the air. "Fire!!"I yelled with veins popping out of my skin.Fire? Gold and fire and fated to be together.Gold will have to pass through enough process of fierce fire before it could turn into appealing gold. Hence the gold beauty was instilled by the fire burning through their hard skin.The same beauty of the gold attracted the attention o
Ariana's POVTwo consecutively week after I'd have relocated to my pack of origin.The spy had arrived from blue Pack with a good news."Alpha Derek is not in the pack, he had gone in search of her dear wife. Everywhere is dead. It seems everyone were mourning as they are all indoor.""Great!"I snapped, clapping my palms in a shot.Everyone present at the gathering all turn to look at me."Now,"I said,my heart becoming heavy than the past few minutes. My tongue immediately get stuck to my upper throat. I paused, staring at the people present from my crossed eyes. This is perfectly not the time to back down from this.He killed my parents, and I was only going to kill his parents also. Stop making it look as if I'm a bad girl with no conscience. Stop making me feel guilty. I yelled out on my wolf inwardly."Now is the perfect time to attack. Since he's no where around his pack." I spouted calmly, ignoring the conscience which was eating me up ."What if he arrives while we are being c
Ariana's povThey all gasped in shock with their eyes getting in contact with my protruding stomach.I felt choke at their glare, I was naked ignoring the fact that they will be looking at my thick ass or my creamy flesh which were round,firmer and bigger than it usual size, my nipples staying elongated.I slowly exhaled out the air which was filled in my mouth,while my fingers scratches against the edges of my thigh playfully.I tugged back the cloth on my shoulders, ignoring the stare. Whether their stare were filled with lust or anything. I zero my mind.I watched my uncle stood gallantly like a giant with untold and unclear story in his eyes.A heavy sigh escaped his mouth as the echo of it's tone resounded loudly in the room, creating havoc to my mind."Ariana...!"He yelled through his gritted teeth, slamming his foot on the linoleum below them.I shrieked, fear creeping over my shoulder.I was scared but couldn't tell the kind of demon which was living inside of me at the moment
Ariana's POVThey fastly approach me, my heart beating at that moment harder under my chest.I felt a sharp pain within my lower abdomen, hot and unwarranted gasps escalated from my lips causing my grasps around the cup in my hands to get tighter.I sunk my teeth into my lower lips as I threw my face to the other side while they passed off, not sparing me a glance.A heavy sigh of relief escaped from my thin lips, I lurked around within my crossed eyes before getting up on my feet.Several theories and terminologies keep swimming in my heart for whom to be with and against."I'll go with whom I want." I muttered, striding out of the inn while I had stopped halfway to drop a few coins on the inn desk.Within a blink of an eye, I was out of the inn. I stopped at a spot with my eyes slowly scanning the environment.After being satisfied with the results, I stomped off.***Mr White POVI stand motionless for a bit before humming, turning at the same time to faces the council of elders.T
Derek's POV"What do you mean by she went off to Blake's office?"I yelled angrily with my hands stuck to my hips, my gaze growing darker."Sir, "The maid broke down, slumping on her knees while her body shivered uncontrollably."Sir, that was what she said after she was done with breakfast. She was happy and said that she will be going to Blake's office for a visit.""Nonsense!" I shoved my fist in the empty air, my legs stomping on the linoleum below my feet, my aura growing darker.My inner wolf was going berserk, losing the whole peace within him.Maybe I'm overreacting, but I was just coming from Blake's office and there's no way she would be there without me noticing it. I had left behind sleeping, while I prepared her, breakfast before going off to Blake to show him my fears, asking for advice.I had to seek advice from him because I felt I might distance myself from her, I felt I might choke to death if I keep setting my eyes on her knowing fully that I was the killer of her pa
