Ariana's POVAlpha Derek's smile and loving gaze faded away until it wasn't there anymore and his expression turned to one of seriousness. But still his face wasn't hard as it normally was and that was because Diana was still in his presence. That was what she could do to him, the mighty effect she could have on him. His hard edges and strictness would fade when he was with her. And also, Alpha Derek, who never smiled would smile that it would surprise you so much even though it was a smile that barely turned his lips up but at least, it was still there.Now his gaze swept over the both of us before he spoke, his voice filling the silence that had been around since he and Diana had been having their lovely eye connection and conversation. "What did you come to do here?" he asked looking over the two of us but I knew he was directing his question to Diana and Diana only."Well, we were looking for a place to have a private conversation so I just decided that this place would be the be
Ariana's POVAt Diana's prompting, I extended my hand and held the book out to Alpha Derek who took it without a word. As our fingers touched, I felt butterflies in my stomach and I wondered why I was having such a reaction toward Alpha Derek. Sure he was attractive -more than attractive even, since he was a work of art- but I couldn't be having a reaction like that towards him. He was the Alpha and I was just his subject.Seeing as he didn't say anything, and silence filled the whole environment, I decided to speak up."This is one of the books you sent me and Henry to get yesterday," I said, proud of myself for not stuttering and making my words audible enough. And then I blanched. If he hadn't remembered what happened between Henry and I before, then I had succeeded in reminding him now. I almost cursed at myself for making such a mistake. It was inevitable, though, I thought, consoling myself after my blunder."I see," Alpha Derek responded and I was surprised. Normally, when I
Ariana's POVTwo weeks later, I stepped out of Alpha Derek's office with a smile on my face. I didn't think I had ever smiled at anything concerning Alpha Derek but this was a first. As most people usually said, there was a first time for everything and today was the first time I was smiling at something Alpha Derek did.After dinner, I had gone to the Alpha's office as usual because he always had some work or two for me to do every day. When I entered into his office and greeted him without making the dire mistake of letting my eyes meet his, he had immediately spoken without even responding to my greeting but that was normal. I had come to expect it. In fact, if he had responded to my greeting I would have been more surprised than if he hadn't. That was what I had come to expect from the Alpha. No more, no less.Alpha Derek immediately told me -without wasting any time- that he would longer be needing my services today again and that I was to go back to my room immediately. I thanke
Ariana's POVI was scared now. I wonder who was it was that had captured me and what reason they had for doing it. What did I do wrong that this unknown person had decided to capture me? I hadn't really offended anyone since I had come to this pack or had I? My heart rate increased as I remembered that even though I hadn't really offended anyone here, there were two people who blamed me for their woes because they thought I had offended them. There was Colin who Claire informed me was still in the hospital, languishing in pain from his injury and infection, but the good news was that he was getting better everyday, albeit slowly. Very soon he will get there, Claire said.And then there was another far more important person who even ranked higher than Colin, and that person was the Beta, Robert Shana. Maybe he was the one who sent someone to kidnap me and bring me to him. I would have said he was the one who was currently holding me now but I knew he wasn't the one. This person holdi
Ariana's POVAs I nodded to Henry, he smiled and his eyes sparkled with joy. He dipped his head toward me and then looked me in the eyes, asking for permission again. I nodded for the second time and his lips turned up in a small smile. He dipped his head down further until his face was only few inches from mine. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his too.What I saw in his eyes was refreshing in its simplicity. I saw joy there. I saw longing there also. And there was love in his eyes too as he gazed at me tenderly. Just as he dipped his head down completely and he was about to kiss me, I turned away but this time, his lips did not meet my cheek. It didn't because I moved away from his side almost immediately after that.I walked over to the other side of the room, desperate to put some distance between us and the attraction I was feeling toward him. I couldn't do that. I couldn't feel anything toward him. He was my friend's ex boyfriend for God's sake. I couldn't do anything wi

Ariana's POVAs I made my statement, if I expected Henry to be shocked, then I too was met with a surprise of my own. He wasn't surprised even one bit. No shock showed on his face like I thought it would. If so, then ever since I had started speaking earlier on, he had prepared himself for something like this. Maybe that was the reason he wasn't surprised by my speech at all and his next words told me as much. "By your reaction toward my own reaction, I know that you were expecting me to act shocked toward your pronunciation but I am not at all surprised by it. When you started talking, I already knew that you would choose Claire over me. And why wouldn't you? She is your friend and as for me, I'm just someone who is trying to be your friend. So I did the math and figured it out easily. If you don't know, I am rather good at math.""Well," I started. "I rather expected you to feel hurt or betrayed in some way but what I didn't expect was for you to take it calmly as you have done. Wh
aAriana's POVI walked to the culinary school and along the way, I was humming a tune. I didn't even know what tune I was really humming. I was just making it up as I went. But as I reflected on it further, I realized that I wasn't making it up at all. The tune took me down memory lane and I smiled as I recalled one very beautiful day when I was nine years old.It was a beautiful day in the summer and my mom was about to start making dinner in the kitchen. She was humming a beautiful tune as I entered into the kitchen but I didn't step inside fully. I just stood at the entrance and looked at my mother, the Luna, with a mixture of love and awe. She had already prepared the ingredients for dinner and my mind was full of questions. Everywhere in the kitchen was filled with the scent of food amd she hadn't even started cooking yet, so how did she do it that the whole kitchen smelt as heavenly as that. I could scent all the spices that she had laid out on the kitchen counter and I was rea
