Asher Crunch. Crunch.One foot after the other. I wandered the area I called my pack without direction.The sky's orange hues were slowly turning a night blue hue. It might have been a blessing that nobody was in sight as I walked. I couldn't bear seeing another person within my turmoil.Every memory of Ariezel's words replayed in my mind. What Serena had made her do, the injuries she suffered, the suffering I had ignored.The moment I remembered that day, self loathing filled me to the brim. How could I not have seen her suffering? Why had I not helped her then?She had faced humiliation, faced Serena's sadistic act in the forest to protect her friends. How could I have ever believed that she would ever be involved in my parents murder. How was I foolish enough to ever think of her as capable of any wicked act?But I was foolish wasn't I? I had let Serena back into my life despite knowing of her own actions. She was capable of such cruelty, and still I let her into my life. She had
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 70
AriezelI woke up to the sound of birds chirping and an exhaustion that hadn't fully gone away.My first few moments of waking up was bliss, stretching without a care in the world, oblivious to the reasons for the strange feeling in my belly.It wasn't meant to last however, as in no time the memories came rushing in. The sunlight I woke up to dulled into its morning glow, and I stared listlessly at my room wall that faced me.It was a light green, like an apple. I had chosen it due to its color I loved. When my friends had asked me back then I had told them that it was my favorite color- something I never had the freedom of having before I came to this pack. The green reminded me of the forest I had crossed in my escape. It reminded me of life, of hope. I told them all of that sincerely.A part of me wasn't fully honest then, because as I looked at the wall now, all I saw were the broken glistening eyes of my mate.‘No. Not my mate.’ I inwardly shook my head to reject. There was far

AriezelAfter that day, Alys became even more withdrawn. Despite her claims to not accept him and to be unaffected by meeting Ambrose, she completely looked even more miserable as time went on.Harriet and I eyed her as she came in, looking worn. Her eyes bore dark shadows that weren't there before from lack of sleep. Most times, Harriet and I constantly made brews for her to take to ensure her a night's rest, and too often tried to convince her to rest. It was only a few times that she accepted either.Now, she looked so worn out. Her brunette hair that was normally packed in a bun was let down revealing the length. And was now also haggard with tiny hairs sticking out.“Food is ready.” Harriet said tentatively. Only the day before she had dyed her hair again a more natural raven black that framed her face perfectly. Yet now, the color seemed to further accentuate the anxiousness in her expression as she looked at Alys.Passing my glance back out to the brunette, I felt nothing but sy

NOTE: CHAPTER 71 was revised and lengthened. Please go back to read it to understand the next chapter. I'm sorry for the mistake. Thanks for reading. Ariezel“Hello Ambrose.” I breathed outHis gaze remained dumbstruck as he looked at me. He looked up and down, scrutinizing my frame continuously. It wasn't in an insulting or disgusted manner however. He just looked bewildered, as though he still couldn't believe my presence in this office.Or like he was seeing some ghost.I accepted it dutifully for a few seconds before letting out a sigh, moving towards him.“Look, i appreciate the surprise and awe on your face,” i said, in a way reminiscent of the Alys snark that had inevitably rubbed off on me “But this is not exactly the t-”He was a blur, before I felt his arms wrapped around me. I received whiplash as I was separated instantly, looking up at him. Now the tables had turned and I was the one who was shocked“It's so good to see you.” he said, looking at me in wonder.At his wor

AriezelI stood stiffly, shut my eyes as though it would make me disappear. But it didn't. I still remained there, in the garden and Asher was still behind me.Oh moon Goddess, Asher was behind me.I didn't want to confront him, and had hoped that I wouldn't ever need to until…‘Until our mate's bond was broken.’The thought alone was akin to a pinprick to my heart, despite all I had done to freeze whatever was left of it towards Asher.There was no way I could dispute my presence. He would already know and feel it, the same way I knew it was him even if I never heard his voice.All I had to do now was ignore it. Pretend as though he was a ghost. Harriet was waiting for me.I took a step to leave, but like most things in my life it didn't go according to plan.“Arixcel, wait. Please.”I could continue moving forward, but my traitorous body stopped in response to his call. I cursed at myself inwardly that despite everything, I could still act like this for him.Why? Why couldn't he set

AsherSeveral days ago.I groaned as I woke up, the pounding in my head too hard to ignore.It took me time to recall how I had ended up here, but once I did, my entire body was tense.The documents, her father, Ambrose,Ariezel.“Would you be willing to let her go?”I sucked in a breath at the thought, the ache that reverberated through my skull getting worse from all the thinking I was doing. Shutting my eyes, I held in my breath, hoping that the pain would subside.Reaching out, I touched something strange, bringing me to pry my eyes open solely to see what it was.A glass bottle, illuminated in bright purple and almost glowing was what I held.It was strange, even stranger that it was in my room, but it didn't seem threatening at all. Wincing slightly I noticed the card that was attached to the stopper, squinting slightly to struggle reading it.‘Alpha Blackwell, by the time you get this you will likely have had a restful sleep. I had casted a spell on you for a dreamless rejuvena

AriezelPresent dayI stood, stuned at Asher's words. Goddess. What was I supposed to say to this?It was already a shock, learning that somehow, I was the one who had the power to sever our bond.To take him back again? To give him another chance? It should hae all been ludicrous. I didn’t have to do so after everything he had done, and I had already told him that we couldn’t go back. Yet why did my heart still ache at his words?I looked down to the ground of the garden. A place that once filled me with joy was now a maze, filled with a myriad of sorrows, joys and confusion. I almost had the urge to bring my hands up to my sight, if not for the will to keep utterly still under Asher’s gaze. I was now the one in control. No longer a bystander nor a victim waiting for the pain to happen. This time, I was the one who held the choice to go through with it.In my hands. I was the one who could end all of this. If I went to the pack priestess right now and told her to sever Asher and

AriezelIt took a few days with some secret informal communication with Ambrose, but in a few days time, we were ready.Hariet and I made eye contact with each other before quickly looking away.At this moment, we were in our living room which also served as a dining area. I was sitting on one of the couches, stitching one of my worn clothes- a skill I had to learn in the former pack. Harriet was in the open kitchen, cleaning the freshly washed plates, and the main focus of both of us, Alys, sat on one of the couches reading a book.Even though she was evidently content at this moment, there was no doubt that her eyes were no less hollow as they had before. She was still the same way, even if she used a temporary reprieve. It was enough encouragement for me to push this forward.Halting my stitching, I turned towards Alys, who hadn't taken notice of me yet.“Alys, why don’t you go to the market today?” I asked as planned. That was only the first step, getting her to leave the house.

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." I apo

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
