Ariezel

It had taken a few days to adjust to everything else. Like trees which were once turbulent suddenly becoming still, it was very unsettling to adjust to.

I met Alys by accident, bumping into her on my way out. She looked…well loved to say the least.

I revealed everything to her that night, especially my decision to start over again. To my surprise, Alys didn't make a fuss or argue, just as she had promised the last time. Rather, she only rolled her eyes.

“Really, I would have preferred you to take some more time to think about it, but," she trailed off for a moment, shaking her head before smiling up at me. It was a heartwarming smile that made me feel safe.

“The way you looked at my wedding was enough to tell me that you were sure about whatever decision you made. And Asher or not? I'll stand by you." She said,

Looking up at her at the moment I stared in wonder. What had made her change in a few days?

I asked her the same question, boggling my mind only for her to laugh in tu

    AriezelPanic slipped through me as soon as I processed it.“Asher, what are you doing?" I whispered, trying to make him stand back up, but he didn't budge.‘What's going on?’ alarm bells rang in my mind as I flit between his face and the crowd. It wasn't until he finally got my attention, gripping my hand to stop me gently that I looked at him.His gaze was assuring and sift, encouraging me to silence. Facing them, I knew I had no choice but to let my arms slip away. The moment I did he relaxed, giving me a small smile.‘Everything's going to be alright.’ he seemed to say.Then he turned back to the crowd, abd I remained dumbstruck, watching as he finally spoke.“Everyone must be surprised to see me in this stage, kneeling in front of all of you. But the truth is that this is where I ought to be. At this moment, I believe this whole pack deserves an apology."“Serena abd my bond was nothing but an alliance, one needed for the mutual safety and well being of this pack. So focused on t

    AsherI wanted restraint. It felt like every single piece of us was akin to thin glass- breakable and fragile. In spite of all of her constant reassurances, I could see the hesitation in her eyes on far too many occasions to be written off. Guilt filled me every single time I saw them, because I was the reason she had doubt. I made her like this, and that made me show her even more love.I had wanted to announce to the world that we were mates the right day I embraced her in my office. However, I wasn't blind to my previous mistakes. When she stopped me the first time, the speaking of time made me understand. It was exhilarating how only a day before, she finally accepted. I knew what I was going to have to do. Not just for her, but for the entire pack and for myself. The pride in me would usually resist, but I had quelled that side of me deep down a long time ago. Now I was going to do right by all of them. Especially Ariezel.Even seeing the look in her eyes right after, filled w

    AriezelHe kissed me again, and I held on for dear life with him. I gripped his shoulders hard, pulling him to me as hard as I could.He groaned in tandem whilst our lips moved against each other. I meant what I had said. I trusted him with this. With myself. And even though there were still many ways to go, within the past two weeks I was reminded of how it felt like to be with him. To feel complete. And this Announcement had solidified one part of me.There was no hesitation on my part as I immediately ground myself against him, groaning at the sensations that sprouted forth. Yes. This was what I needed. He was all I needed.‘My love, my life, my mate’He pulled me closer and it felt like we would never be apart. I didn't want to even fathom it.As he separated, his face was flushed and darkened, eyes revealing his hunger and affection in a way that sent butterflies in my belly the same time it sent a zing of heat through my core.Was he hesitating again? I tugged at him, ready to

I had thrown things time and again. were shattered, furniture broken but every single morning everytging wasconstantly replaced. Every. Single time.Days had passed, and nothing had changed. I had done everything. Screaming and shouting. I destroyed the tables and furniture, but they had ignored it all.I snapped towards the door in anticipation. There was plenty of explaining for him to do, but it was alright. I would take him back so long as he came.Couldn't he see? I was the only one meant for him. I was the only one who deserved to be with him. I, the daughter of an Alpha. Who was a better fit than me?Everything was running smoothly. Right before he found that…that mutt in the woods.But it was okay. So long as he groveled, once he finally saw.And perhaps today was that day.The door slowly opened, hesitantly. A hint of a smirk came to my face. I was ready for anything.But to m

    Ariezel“Come on. Come on! You two should move faster. We can't miss this!” Harriet exclaimed, her face alternating from mine to Alys'I sighed at her rushed, if not panicked enthusiasm, speeding up my pace in an effort to keep up with her. Goodness, did she know exactly how fast she ran when she was excited?Her hair was now a bright cherry red, an exciting color that matches her personality. It mixed with the flush on her cheeks as she looked at us before turning away.“Alright, Alright.” Alys said in a slight whine, taking in a deep breath. “If I didn't love you Harriet, I wouldn't have left my duties for this." She muttered in a breath enough for both of us to hear.Harriet huffed in reply “By duties, do you mean sucking faces with Ambrose half the time?" She raised an eyebrow.I gasped at the scandalous words, turning towards Alys in anticipation of her reaction. To my surprise she wasn't standoffish nor in denial. Her face was flushed, a pink glow.‘Goddess.' I thought to myself

    AriezelI stood in awe of the sights and sounds that came through. The smells of food and perfumes all mixed into each other.“Woah.” I said looking around.A tug on my hand stopped me short , making me look towards the culprit. To my surprise, it wasn't Harriet but Alys.“Come on. We can't just stand there." Her smile showed that she was just as excited now.Slowly I was dragged into the fray. Together we tinkered around the different stalls.“Hey Ari. Look here."I turned only to feel a cool sensation swipe above my face. I touched it, movi g my hand to my face. I looked to find a bright yellow powdery substance, which was swiped across my face.When I looked at them, I saw Harriet and Alys staring right at me. They yellow powder stained her hands and it was clear who was the culprit.Shaking my head a smile slowly creeped onto my face. My eyes narrowed at them, a predator-like instinct coming upon me. I could tell from the way their faces changed that they knew exactly what was goi

    AriezelI remained in his embrace, the mix of the warm buzz and his refreshing presence making me hum in his arms.“This is nice.” I murmured, taking in a deep breath to inhale his scent again.“Ari."My eyes snapped open. Separating from him, I turned to find both of my friends now near me. The friends whom, for a moment I had totally forgotten about.Not to mention, looking further, the market area was behind them. When had we even left?“Don't forget about us" Harriet said, hitting the nail on the head before she bursted into giggles.“I'm pretty sure that road has already gone by now." Alys spoke dryly, though the smile that remained on her face was enough to tell me that she was in the same state as I was.Looking back, I met his green eyes, staring at me softly. Warm flesh I recognized as his hand cupped my cheek and I leaned onto it with a sigh.“I guess you were occupied with the festival weren't you?" He spoke softly.I nodded, humming.“Harriet gave us something to drink. Sh

    AsherHer words were so pure, so devoid of any rage or grudge.In the end, what Ariezel wanted was not revenge or power. It was something so much simpler. She wanted a home, a family.She wanted love.For the thousandth time I cursed myself internally for my past mistakes. For ever thinking that she could take part in anything so malicious.I still stood by my previous words. I could openly imagine myself attacking that pathetic excuse of a man unlike before. I wished that I had actually done that. But then I looked into her clear blue eyes, now free from the haze of the mild spirits I was sure she drank, the plea was clearly there.I wouldn't do that to her.Unless he ever came into the picture again that is.I growled internally at the thought. If he ever crossed my territory again, I would make him regret the day he was born.Pushing away those thoughts, I laid a gentle smile on my lips, the smile quickly turning genuine whilst I focused on her.“Fine. I promise I won't say it agai

    Ariezel “Look out there! It's a pretty bird!"I looked in command, spotting the bird Camilla spoke of.Rubbing her hair gently, I shifted my gaze to face her.“Yes. It is a lovely bird." I said, smiling at her giggle.She turned back, her red curls bouncing along with her.She was the youngest out of the two of my half sisters, nine years old, although she continuously argues that she was turning ten.After getting to know Florian, he introduced me to both of them with joy. Although for now they only saw me as an aunt and the future Luna, in spite of our resemblance.It hadn't taken long for her to grow used to me, although Jolene, the older one, was more reserved.I turned to look at her in the hall we were staying in. She lounged in a chair, short blonde tresses resting on the couch as she read a book. She was the sole outlier out of us, and she was mostly quiet, always analyzing whenever I was present.It was okay, I didn't mind staying for as long as it took for her to get used t

    143: AriezelIn the end, Alys and Harriet left us alone in the room. We stared at each other for what seemed like ages.I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the man in front of me. It seemed more like a dream as I looked at him over.I felt him doing the same to me, awe and surprise written over his face.But we couldn't stay in silence for long. Not as it stretched to the point of awkwardness. Finally regaining a bit of my senses, I parted my lips to speak.“Hello." Both our voices chorused.I blinked in surprise. As it seemed we had both spoken at the same time.The single word seemed to sway through the tension that was presented. I cracked my lips in a small smile.“Please sit down." I said, gesturing to the chair which Alys once sat in.I was sure Alys must have been grilling Harriet by now. After all, she hadn't kept this from just me but from her as well.I waved the thought away easily. Alys and Harriet were the last thing on my mind as he sat down.It was even more uncan

    Ariezel“So one of the members said that she insulted her butt, so the other- her name was…Amber I think? Proceeded to shiver her own butt in my face just for comparison.”My stomach hurt badly solely from the amount of times I laughed. It was so difficult to catch my breath from the words Alys was saying.Thankfully, she waited till I was done before she spoke again.“In the end," Alys sighed despondently “The fight turned into a butt comparing contest with people as the audience and I being the judge. All I could think of at the moment was that this wasn't what I had prepared for."I howled again in laughter, the humor of her deadpan words further aggravated by the resigned, almost haunted look on her face. In my laughter I vaguely heard Alys laughter follow as minutes passed.My breaths heaving for air I looked at Alys to find an amused look on her face.“I glad that my misery could make you a little bit happy.” she said.I shook my head quickly in response .“I'm so sorry."

    AriezelI was weightless, swimming in darkness without a care in the world. It felt like there was nothing holding me back. It might as well have been true.Like wisps of smoke, memories and voices came to me, only to fade away the moment I tried reaching out for them. In the end, I remained floating.I didn't know how much time I had spent, but soon, everything began to fade. The weightless darkness I floated in materialized until a firmament grew below, carrying me. The weightless darkness faded into something else. Something more material.Like a disk, I was drawn out of my water and the peaceful darkness, into something more material.And slowly but surely, I opened my heavy eyelids to see blinding light.It took me time to adjust, squinting and blinking against the harsh brightness. Once I finally did, all my other senses came back.A soft but firm surface below me, the scent of comfort that wafted over and ceiling I felt familiar in.Where was I?My memories then came back and

    AsherI focused on her, taking her hand in mine in spite of everything in me that resisted.“Hello Serena." I said in a gratingly low voice, looking into her eyes.She sighed, looking awestruck as she looked at me.She, just like all the others who had once fought and scrambled to force me to mate with them, only saw what I was from the outside. A ruthless alpha and a powerful one.There was only one who didn't.Thoughts hammered in my head, coaxing me to go back and fix what I had done. I stayed firm however and brought the blonde woman closer.It was only a matter of time.“Let's go inside Serena.” coaxing her away, I led her inside, eyeing the rest of her guards who moved away, paving the path for us.Together, we moved through the forest with her and I at the forefront whilst the rest of my soldiers and hers followed from behind. Our arms were linked as we walked while she spoke ravingly. She kept on rambling about how she knew that I was going to come back to her and all her :sac

    Ariezel My breath caught as those words reverberated through my brain long after they had gone.‘What?'My heart stuttered the moment I heard them, confusion filling my senses as I looked at him.It wasn't an illusion. Those were the words that came out of his mouth.‘Why?’What was he thinking? Why would he say that?I tried to look at him, praying that he would look at me and tell me that it was a hoax or something. Anything.But he kept his eyes away, focusing on Serena.“Asher." I cried out. I struggled against their grip, uncaring at that moment. It was only when I felt the threatening cool metal pressing against me in warning that I stopped.I didn't stop looking at him however, hoping that my call would finally make him focus on me.To my relief, it did.When he looked at me, I didn't expect to see his gaze so cold and shuttered.I was thrown aback by the sudden stare. This wasn't my Asher. The distance in his stare reminded me of back then, when he suddenly left me.My blood t

    Ariezel “Relax. He'll be back in no time.” Alys said.I smiled at her in turn, yet I couldn't focus properly.Under the protection of soldiers within my room, Alys and Harriet stayed to keep me company throughout. Hours had passed, yet with no news, we stayed in place with more worries than not.Alys had left the hospital and held the same worried gaze in spite of her constant assurance. It was especially more of a necessity for her considering that Ambrose had gone along with Asher. Now we were both waiting and hoping that all went well for the sake of our mates.“I…I actually have something to tell you guys." Harriet spoke hesitantly.I was grateful for any distraction that could take away the churning anxiety.I had never expected what she would say next.“I found my mate."My jaw dropped.“Oh my…oh Goddess." Alys was the first to move forward, taking Harriet's hands in hers.“That's so good. I'm happy for you.” Alys gushed out.I knew that in spite of her carefree attitude, she

    Asher The night was still, without so much as a cricket sound.My gaze swept the place. As I had expected, the security was lax.‘How foolish of them.’We had left the pack by evening, marching and moving until we hid close to the border of the Pack.When I told Ariezel of the sped up plans, she was worried, kissing me goodbye on the forehead.“Be safe." She whispered.My heart skipped a beat for her, knowing that she was out of my reach, filling me with anxiety.But there was no reason for me to be so worried about her this time. I had placed several guards under her to watch.Now? It was already midnight. We had trailed the path, waiting inconspicuously for hours. Whether or not Derek was here, at least I would be able to finish off one thing.It was soon time. My instincts were on overdrive, pumped with adrenaline. I could feel the weight of the celrescent moon above us.They wouldn't see this coming.I rose my hand to signal them all.This was the same thing they had done to us.

    Asher “199…200.” I grunted out, pushing my body up.Only a day was left before the attack was launched. Until them, I had to continuously put myself in prime condition for certain victory.That involved constantly working out day by day, straining myself to the limits within the span of time I had.My days had only been limited to those two things; training and Ariezel. I wasn't shy to say that the majority of my time was spent with Ariezel, whether it was from taking walks with her to watching over her in the nights till early in the morning. I remained constantly by her side.Nothing was going to happen overnight, much less after two days. She was still reeling from my acceptance and remained hesitant. My heart still ached as she woke up with nightmares.But unlike before, she never faked a smile like before. She spoke openly about her nightmares before she slipped back into sleep. Even when she stiffened at the mention of her condition, whenever I was there, she relaxed. This tim
