~Bryson~I see them push the girl away. She is clueless because I came in more calmly. She might have not heard me come in. "Bitch get out of the way." He grabbed her by the arm and pushed her. She grabbed her shirt desperately. "Please he isn't here. You can leave and come back later. Maybe take anything from the living room. Don't just go upstairs. Please." She was scared for her heaviest self. Why won't she want them to wake me? I must have met her, she knows I'm here. But I'm not overly excited as I should be.The man sneered. " I don't want any damn thing from here."I watch her struggle to shake from him almost like a fish I caught at once, all this happening with her back to me. It made me insane. I walked down. "Shut the fuck up another man said and hit her."The violence was getting too much.Get your hands off her!" I yelled and ran into the living room."How dare you touch someone under my roof," I warned them with a sneer. I was still curious not caring for them. I was
~Ariadne~After a night full of unwanted hot and heavy dreams about my Bryson—none of which I had control over. I woke up before the sun.And on the coattails of those dreams, I close my eyes and relive every single second of last night’s daydream. Again.Only this time, I didn't let him walk away.In the closest thing to a wet dream I’ve had since I first got a crush, Alpha Henry pushes me against the wall and nudges my legs apart with his knee, as he breaks the kiss long enough to rip my shirt over my head.And now I’m breathing heavily, wishing I could feel Alpha Henry's fingers gliding down my throat to my chest, then the valley between my breasts, and finally across one pert nipple, a nipple he would pinch between his thumb and forefinger. But he reminds me of how I used him, toyed with his emotion, I'm culpable, evil and remorseful."No! No! Guilty conscience." I tossed the converter from the bed. Falling on the flower vase I managed to get.My body is humming, and my panties ar
~Bryson~"Alpha Bryson." The manager called out to me. I gave a nod at him."Aiden, we didn't talk about coming here, you suddenly called for me." I glanced around before sitting beside Aiden as he pushed out a chair for me. "Thanks.""Well, Williams must have told you that you should be here instead of staying at home." I blinked with no concern and he continued. "You must see this."He pushed the documents towards me. My hands tilted forward and grabbed it."The locals are still insisting we move out of here, here are the conditions they wrote." The manager furthered and I glanced at it brow furrowed. I have heard their demands over and over and I can say we can only fulfil a few."I can see you've gone through it." I simply said.Not too soon I planned on going to meet the locals for a talk and ask around for Ariadne. The locals could provide me with valuable information I can prove. Maybe the string feels and pulls in my heart were not just ordinary. I feel we're right and it will
~Ariadne~With my hand to my heart and head weighing heavily, I pinched myself continuously and none stop. I might be in a dream, he was trying to mess with my memories. But when the manager called out to him, Then and him closed by talking plainly. I have to confirm for myself. My tears have been running. I lift my hand to my face to wipe it away.I walked inside, with my hands spasming around the tray. And I couldn't look him straight in the face."Tell me what happened, how did you survive the stabbing that night." The manager asks."I didn't, it was a miracle."He let out a wild laugh as I served them, the shawl was held to my face."I thought the big bad Alpha of our pack was defeated by a woman. A miracle wasn't something you believe in right…""Well, I have to because I want to.""That is to say you aren't certain whether to accept her back should you find her?" He was asking too many questions. To be sure it wasn't the nose in my head from hallucinating I made my hand brush ov
~Ariadne~If there is anything I could do to escape this awful situation I would gladly opt-in for it.In the last seconds, I lied, I don't know why I said that but I know something for sure I was defending myself."I think you're mistaken for someone you know.""Fuck it, why behave like this." His hands rippling with muscles held onto my arm, the touch, how I yearn for his touch, my brain twitching as he ran his hands across my face I have missed him, his face the perfect view, everything, I have missed you Bryson and I was ready to jump into his arms as my excitement sharks through me.I looked at him, my eyes clear, I knew he knew it was me. I pushed him."Why hide from me mate?" He pulled me again into his hard warm beating chest, it was a hug, the one that made me feel revitalized, made me feel as if I own the world, this was his effect on me. "Bryson," I muttered slowly as tears trickled down my eyes. If he was to kill me I deserve it but I'm not happy that he doesn't care and
~Bryson~Never had I thought that my coming to the site today will land me the treasure I have been seeking. I have been exceptionally happy, I keep smiling to myself, and Williams went ahead to ask God the reason but I couldn't. I have to protect my mate. The non-stop daily reminder from Williams made me feel uneasy. If I dare to let him know about Ariadne I have failed to protect her."Dull in the morning and now he is in delight, I can't remember the last time I saw you like this." Aiden squeezed my shoulder with an assuring smile that says I deserve to be happy."Well, it's sort of it, he finds the work perfect and speaking, and the analysis with the trace recently has skyrocketed.""Going in for a walk, catch up with you later." They exchanged glances, Aiden shrugged and then moved while I roamed about. I felt happy that my mate wasn't under the care of that tyrant. That controls the Abyss, when she said I should keep her identity a secret I know why and I will respect that.S
~Ariadne~I turned to look at Alpha Bryson, he was breaking down. It hurt to see him in pain. There was mutual between us. Staying away from each other for clearly up to three years only to be separated because I wasn't ready to reveal the truth to him, I was being selfish.Tears rolled down my eyes, deep down I yearn for him, my wolf yearn and cracked for him, it's all because of this stupid marking, it wasn't stupid it did so marvellously its work by bringing us closer together at the time I had a dream of his hand sliding in between my sweet spot, it goes as I felt my body warm up. I desire my mate.I could have stayed with him but Brenda was with Amelia waiting for me. She was the other chef and she was nice too since Brenda is there and she should be safe. But I need to get to her Brenda barely stays with new people."I'm sorry Bryson." I headed out of the corridor with a heavy deep sigh and disappeared out of his sight.It wasn't easy going slinging the night, Amelia might have
~Ariadne~I couldn't hold my moans as his hand slid inside my dress and slowly gently trickled up to my thigh and then stopped and pulled me to his skin, he glared at me, his eyes on my hair."You should get your Auburn back." My eyes opened and I snapped his hand from my inner thigh. He kicked back and cleared his throat sincerely."Stop it, Bryson, I made myself clear to you that out of this reunion, I'm here to work and that I'm married."His sweet expression turned sour like milk and I pulled away from him. "You should be careful not to get too close.""You said reunion Ariadne."''I didn't mean it, it's just slipped.""Did you stab me to get yourself a life with another man?" He asks, his gaze filled with contempt and I didn't blink. "It's not that, I should tell you that I got to find a life that I couldn't with the crescent pack or the Ember moon pack, Grandville is perfectly okay, I get to see how tough life is, the essence of everything." I walked out of him. Joshua was lef
Ariadne POV, Two years later. . . "He isn't here yet. Wonder what might have kept him." I checked the screen of my phone for either a call or anything from my husband. I turn the floor and unwrapped the glove with a smile tucked on my face leaving the chicken sauce in the care of Rachel. There is a permanent smile etched on my face. By the door Bryson's eyes shot up to the line and my heart nearly burst, I know he loves me. It would take hard work and time but the man was able to express himself better, after all, he held in his hand bouncy red flowers. I don't have to be told to know how he felt. "Been weeks and yet it feels like years without you Chirp." Letting out a chuckle, I take hold of his hand and pull him into the house. Once we're inside my hand wrapped around the flower and fusing his mouth with my own I taste his happiness it multiplies with my own. Then he lifts his head his eyes meeting mine. "What of Brenda." "She's grown enough to take care of herself." I joke
Bryson POV, Standing at the edge of the verandah with Aiden we all enjoyed a drink whole music filled the air. We're having a celebratory party at the Packhouse, Father finally atones for his sin before deciding to join kind, he wasn't much of a hero but his action proved him as a man of valour. Out of the bloodbath, fighting for everything I have raised a new empire one entirely under my control. My eyes move between Williams and Aiden. "I thought you should hear this." Auden sighs. He's been away at Grandville only for him to be forced back to take an insight into everything that had gotten in place. "Aiden," I say. "Alpha Henry." "You're being promoted, Ares had chosen a quiet path which I honour, working alongside him will bring more progress now that we're done with Grandville." Aiden stares up at me first with surprise then a huge ass smile spreads across his face. "I couldn't be more excited, Williams never gave a hint, would be delighted." "It wasn't negotiable." I let
Ariadne POV, After I figured out that Chris never truly loved me I was excited, one side of me had been relieved of the past weight I have been bearing while the other side ached to find out that those I thought were there for me weren't actually friends I got to feel. Chris turned out like this and had never loved me. I stare up at Williams after he's finished sticking up my wound. "Thank you." I lower my eyes and whispered. "I'm sorry I was stupid." "It's okay you're safe and that is all that matters." I peered deeper. "I put your life at risk." The word shuddered from my mouth. I was so overcome with my emotions, I put Bryson in danger today, again if anything had happened to him I wouldn't have had the courage to forgive myself. "Tell me," Bryson demanded residual tightening his features. "He was a nice friend of mine." I didn't think straight I was too clouded by my emotions. "And I thought the memories of the past with him will kor leave me unless I figured out he was tru
Bryson POV, Never trust her, ever again! again I felt I was tricked repeatedly by the one I have found live in. She sees me as an option, a pushover to heal her absconded moment with the Fucking Chris that stood yards away from me. But I can't it's not like I could, she's every part of me. I wanted to pull her towards me, but the very fact that she hide the truth from me made me pull and fall back. "But don't worry Alpha Henry, you offered a truce, I figured I might use that instead of Lucas that had proven himself useless, we can't have everything, " Alpha Creed notes the word out and he stares at me. "Well, that sounds intriguing. Ariadne has found her peace." I say my face hammering into hers and that of the man pulling her in for a deep hug. Meredith scowled but was silent and short of words, she kept her face blank. "My father won't be so stupid to listen to you." "You're yet to know him aren't you?" He coughs and I gave him a hard look. His word makes me frown. "What abo
Ariadne POV, I don't know what Alpha Creed is going to narrate to Bryson, the cocky smile on his face aligns pretty much that it's going to be something that will go out of court in his favour, stressing to his face, there are some of the nerves I felt while we were preparing to tie the knot, not after almost killing myself to make him happy. My mind is clouded with my desire for my mate, seeing him in distress just to get me out of there only made me heartburn. Hunger unadulterated lust love. It's all I see in Alpha Bryson's eyes. There is no cruelty no depravity no hatred. He sets down his knife and reaches for my face, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, a frown instantly forms on my forehead. "There is something you seem to have been missing, the Abyss is not entitled to mates." He jerks his hand backwards. "That is not a story, what are you driving at?" My temper flare. He glances at me and a smile shoots on his face. "While I wait for you to realize it you were stuck in
Bryson POV, With the way things are going, I have been left with no option, In hard times like this when I am forced to choose between my pack and my mate, who is the mother of my child. I watch as Christy storms out of me Rachel follows after her and I turn my attention to Aiden. It was my full intention to take after the Abyss, but I can't afford another war right now, they think, my bride-to-be had been taken away from me, she is nowhere to be found, I promised to be a better man and it would mean I'm breaking my promise should I sit arms relaxed. Williams look smug, Father standing beside him made my lip curl in anger. Williams offers to take a walk with me while we talk about some things to ease the tension. Hopefully, I will see reasons too, it's either my pack or Ariadne. "Your father had never for once stopped caring about you and your Alpha position is uncracked because of the decisions he had made countless times." It didn't sink in. "I never asked for his closed-door
Ariadne POV, "You knew about it all along don't you? " I ask as I stepped closer to him he let out kicking laughter. "As I said, Fucking tell me it was part of your ploy, the heart disease, you knew I was going to die in five years why did you have to make me suffer through this." It was like this I can't let everything happen to me that readily, I held my hand on the counter, the yelling was silly enough to make me want to lose myself to the bear of the click, it was ticking rapidly the beating was abnormally hitting differently. "I wanted you to live that is why I gave my daughter's heart to you, you were the most potential assassin I have known and I wanted to keep you by my side." By his side? Killing everyone that was living was the most important thing to him. "Who was your daughter, u have no idea what you want with me, now that you want or back to what I was your slave. " "You state in the Abyss but you have a vague idea why I took you. The letter in your hand explained
Bryson POV, Betrayal? It couldn't have hurt this much with what gathers had aid to me. Was supper fazed that I let my hand slip into my shirt to hide the feelings I feel inside of me that are making me clench tight by my side I let myself cool down. "You of all people know that Ariadne couldn't have lied to me." I saw my hand and my leg trail to the window side. "It's pathetic how you're trying to obtain your anger with me." He said running his hand through his collar and realigning it. "What do you think us for?" I turn to him. "We wouldn't have been this close if there was no bond between us." That's not a lie, and u didn't bother you break eye contact with him either, he let a smile creep on his face, while he walked over to me. "You don't have to do this and split us apart, I just want to remind you that Ariadne is my mate and nothing will change not even your flashy desires, Ford," I call him he looked down and up at me. "That hurts on so many levels but you weren't shocked
Ariadne POV, I stood by the door, Bryson and his father must have had a wounded relationship he does kind distancing himself from me for that. No matter how wounded he was I was more petrified by the incident of their action, the shock run through me making me be like I was going tongue my heart out but I still let myself a little hope thus with this I stand, my heart skip a beat and I could feel my valve stop, the crook of my neck shallow inside and all I could do was to hold my hand to my chest, with each passing day my condition worsen but that wasn't what bothered me, Bryson had been a closed book, making it hard for me to tell him about my condition, I swallow hard on the bile threatening to push to my throat. I know what is wrong with me and I have chosen to stay with Bryson to the very last if that is the case. "You're practically insane I thought that you love Bryson but you let this Ford in here are you going to let him ruin him." A voice roamed into my head and I turn to f
