Arianna sat and watched as Cassius slept, the rising and falling of his chest as he took every breath made her smile. It gave her a feeling of reassurance that he truly was alive.

She sat watching him,waiting for him to wake up but he didn't. It was soon nightfall and Zia brought her dinner to the room.

She couldn't really eat much,the worry that still clouded her mind made her lose her appetite. According to what the doctor had said he should have woken up already but he apparently was still unconscious.

Whimpering sounds awoke her from her sleep. Arianna didn't realize when she had fallen asleep while watching him. Her eyes quickly adjusted to the light and when she looked at the direction of the sound,she saw that Cassius seemed to have gained consciousness but he wasn't fully awake.

He seemed to be having a nightmare or something because he was shivering as he twisted and turned on the bed,his body covered in sweat. Arianna quickly stood up to stop him because if he continued with

    "Uh,I….. Cassius actually….." She stuttered, not knowing how to put her thoughts into words. Cassius turned and yawned, having been woken up by the little ruckus that was taking place."What's going on?" He questioned. "Well, nothing really." Arianna said awkwardly, the situation seemed to be getting a lot more intense by the minute."What do you mean nothing? I walk in here because I have important news and the first thing I see is the two of you snuggled up like lovebirds. Tell me,what am I supposed to think?" Loki said calmly but his demeanourrevealed that he was nothing close to calm."Quit acting like a jealous freak bro. If you don't trust me,at least trust Arianna. She's your mate and the both of you share a bond. But please don't be mad at her,it's my fault actually." Loki said and tried to apologize on Arianna's behalf."The truth is,the situation couldn't be helped. Cassius was running a fever last night and he was shivering so much. I wanted to leave to inform you but he p

    Arianna made good on her promise of taking careful care of Cassuis until he completely recovered. It made them grow closer and soon, she didn't feel awkward being around him anymore. He was quite the jester type so every minute with him had her laughing at one joke or the other. She still only regarded him as Loki's cousin and a friend of hers.Arianna didn't know that Loki was quietly watching everything that was going on and he quite frankly wasn't happy about any of it but he said nothing. He didn't want to seem like the overly jealous or possessive type, he knew he also couldn't exercise any right on her yet because she had not yet accepted him.Loki's birthday was coming up and though he didn't want to celebrate it, Arianna made him promise to after she found out from Cassius. He loved her very much so he couldn't refuse her request and though he wasn't a huge fan of parties, he went ahead to host one for his birthday.The party was being held in the grand hall and everyone fro

    Arianna turned and opened her eyes, her vision blurring at first with her drowsiness. She yawned and tried to blink away her sleepiness when she felt someone by her side.She wondered who it could be and when she took a look, she got the biggest shock of her life.She saw Cassuis lying by her side and she reflexively got up at once, shifting away from him.The stir woke him up and she looked at her with a smile. "Good morning." He greeted and she threw him a look of confusion."What's good about the morning? Care to explain this?" Arianna seethed."Explain what?" He questioned with an innocent face. "Don't play dumb with me, what is the meaning of this? Why am I waking up on your bed when I have no memory of coming here?" Arianna questioned."Calm down sunshine, you were drunk last night so I brought you here to have some rest." He said and Arianna glared at him."Don't be so angry. Nothing happened between us if that's what you're worried about." He assured but the fear still permeat

    Two weeks passed and Arianna gradually forgot about the guilt and fear she had formally experienced by waking up beside Cassius but what she couldn't forget was the feeling of angst she now felt for him.Something just kept telling her that it would be better for her to keep her distance so such would never occur again. She also didn't tell anyone and never planned to, there was no harm done so nobody had to know.Arianna had just finished eating a delicious plate of pasta about an hour ago and she couldn't express how refreshed she felt.She was feeling very excited because today marked the first month of her stay in the pack and it would only be two more months before she would be able to reunite with her family and Valentin.It surprised her that she felt absolutely nothing when she thought about the prospect of going back to her fiancé, it just felt like everything about him had suddenly lost its magic and she began to wonder why.Could it be that she had just suddenly stopped lo

    "What?!" Loki and Arianna questioned together. "Yes Alpha, our future Luna is pregnant and going to give you an heir soon." The doctor repeated joyously.Loki felt like his heart had been ripped, his mate is currently pregnant with someone else's child. Was that the reason she had refused to let him come close to her? Was that the reason she didn't want to see the doctor? Had she been lying or even cheating behind his back? His inner wolf growled in anger and he felt the rage go throw him. He balled his hands into fists and Lew his claws spring out and cut through his skin, making it bleed. The pain served as a form of escape from the bitter truth."No, that can't be possible. It just can't!" Arianna nearly screamed, tears gathering at the edge of her eyes."Why can't it be? Stop acting so virtuous!" Loki yelled at her and she flinched. This was the first time he had ever raised his voice to her and it felt hurtful and scary."Please excuse us, I want to talk to the doctor alone. Plea

    Arianna ran with tears in her eyes, not minding that they blurred her vision. She searched around the castle and when she could not find Loki she went outside the castle, to the direction of the packhouse.She saw him going towards the packhouse and she ran after him, overtaking him and standing in front of him with her hands stretched out so she could block him."Arianna, get out of my way now." He ordered, trying his best to maintain control. "No. I won't get out of your way until you listen to me." She pleaded."I said get out of my way before I make you, you're currently carrying a child so I don't want to be rough with you so kindly get out of my way before I make you." He barked."I won't. You can do whatever you want to me, push me, hit me, scream at me or even call me all sorts of names but I won't leave you alone until you find out the truth." Arianna said, her tears nearly choking her."What truth? If you're talking about your whole affair with Cassuis then I'm not intereste

    Arianna walked out of the examination room with a thousand thoughts in her mind. She was worried sick about what the test results would reveal. She joined Loki in the waiting room and he told her to sit down but she couldn't because she was far from calm.All her confidence from before seemed to have vanished into thin air. She had been so sure that she was not pregnant but now she had doubts, not in herself but in Cassuis.The thought of that morning still bothered her to no end and she wished she had at least told Loki then maybe none of this would have happened.The doctor had said that it would take about two to three hours for the results to arrive but for Arianna, it felt like forever.She paced up and down and Loki saw just how worried she was, though he wanted to believe with all of his heart that Arianna was telling the truth, there was still a lingering doubt in his mind that just had to be cleared up. Connor, his wolf, reminded him that before Arianna was his mate, she wa

    Arianna and Loki both thanked the doctor before leaving her office. As soon as they were out oxf the doctor's office, Loki grabbed Arianna in a hug. "I'm really so sorry Arianna, I should have trusted you but I went ahead and said all those mean things to you because I was angry." He apologized and she smiled, snuggling into the embrace."It wasn't your fault, I too would have fallen for it if I didn't have faith in myself. It was a well concocted plan and no one certainly saw it coming." Arianna assured."Who could have been lacing your food with banana leaves? Who would want to break us apart so badly and why does it seem like Cassuis is part of their plan?" Loki asked."I really don't have an answer to any of your questions but there's one thing I'm sure of, whoever laced my food is the same person that tried to kill me. But let's not waste time thinking about it now that we've found the truth, we have to get to the bottom of this and fish out all the unfriendly friends." Arianna s

    They kept staring at each other until Arianna blinked, Loki realized his actions and got up from on top of her.She sat up with an awkward expression. "What are you doing here?" He questioned and she gulped, she could tell he was still angry with her from his tone of voice."I…. I just came to check up on you." She answered quickly. "Well that's new, do you have any problem?" He questioned as he got up from the bed and grabbed his shirt, quickly putting it on."No." She answered simply, notknowing what else to say. "Then do you have something you want to tell me, an explanation perhaps?" He questioned and she just couldn't take it anymore.She walked forward and stood in front of him. "Loki , I understand that you're still upset with me but please don't treat me like a stranger. I won't be able to take it." She pleaded."Why does it always have to be about you? Why do you always have to be so selfish?" He questioned and turned away from her but she would not let his words get to her.

    Arianna could hear hurried footsteps towards the door and she knew that she would be caught if she didn't act fast. She looked around quickly and saw the door to a room she'd never been in and she quickly hurried to it.She opened the door of the room swiftly and closed it carefully and slowly.Lyra opened the door and looked around the hallway, she saw no one but her eyes caught sight of the broken glass on the floor and the first thought that crossed her mind was that someone had been listening to theirconversation and she swore that she would not spare the person.She looked around carefully, walking through the hallway to see if she would find anyone hiding behind the walls but she found no one. She looked around and saw a room and she reasoned that whoever had been spying on them must have come to this room to hide."Don't go in there." Lilith cautioned, stopping her. "Why?" She questioned with a frown."That's the second late Luna's room. It was Lilas mother's room and it's be

  • I Am The Fated Alpha's Mate    chapter 42 A Deadly Deceiver"

    I left the pack and went to live with grandmother in her pack. I had lived there for barely two years when I found out that Princess Lila was going to be the future Luna of the pack. I despised the woman because she was one of the people that had not only made my life hell, but she was just so full of herself and it was annoying.I purposefully applied to be a maid in the palace where she lived so I could look for a way to get my revenge. A few months later, I found out that she had a rare heart disease, I think it was called ischaemic heart disease. It was clear that she was going to die as there was no cure. She didn't want to let anyoneknow, including her husband.She didn't want to burden their hearts without the discovery and as I had said earlier, she's very proud so she didn't want pity from anyone. She said she would die of shame instead of her heart disease if her husband were to take excessive care of her and look at her with pity because she was a dying person.Only her cl

    Arianna couldn't sleep that night, she concluded that if she wanted to find out the truth of what was going on, she just had to be watchful. Sitting back and relaxing would be absolutely of no use to her.She got up from bed and walked out of her room, closing the door quietly. Thankfully, the castle halls were lit and it was dead quiet since it was already well into the night.She walked casually but carefully around the palace, deciding to take a little fresh air as it would help to calm her frayed nerves. She moved in the direction of Loki's room, deciding to see and maybe explain to him what had happened earlier.She was almost sure he would listen to her now that his anger had passed with time. She was almost to his room door when she heard a sound and she instinctively hid to get a glimpse of where it was coming from.From the safety of her hiding place, she saw Lila snooping around secretly, her suspicions were immediately confirmed and she was now sure that Lila was definitely

    Arianna ran to her room and closed the door behind her, she fell on the bed and broke into tears. It hurt her deeply that Loki had refused to believe her.She understood that Lila was his sister so he would definitely believe her first over everybody else but what bothered her the most was the fact that Lila had not only insulted her but had lied about her to Loki, and surprisingly, she even had the injuries to prove that Arianna had been violent with her which was not true.Thinking about it carefully, there was only one reasonable explanation here and that was, Lila must have hurt herself on purpose but why? Arianna thought about it carefully but no reasonable explanation came to mind, the only thing she could conclude was that Lila must have something against her but why?She had not done anything wrong to the She-wolf as far as she was concerned. Lila must have sensed that there was already tension between Arianna and Loki and she had put on that little show just to further drift

    Arianna, seemingly having no other choice, took Lila on a tour of the palace, not making much conversation with her. When they had gone round the palace, Arianna revealed that their tour had come to an end."But won't you take me to the pack house?" Lila questioned. "I'm sorry but I don't go there." Arianna revealed."But why? You're the future Luna of the pack but you don't even go to the pack house? Is the place too dirty for you or do you feel like you're too good enough to mingle with the people there?" Lila questioned, the anger apparent in her voice."No, that's not it. You're getting the wrong idea about me. My first experience in the pack house was very bad and that's why I dread going there." Arianna said and Lila threw her a questioning look."What do you mean your first time was bad?" Lila questioned.Arianna sighed and told Lila about everything that had happened in the pack house with Lilith."I'm so sorry about that, I thoughtlessly accused you without knowing." She apol

    After thinking about things clearly for about a week, Arianna finally decided that she would accept Loki as her mate and live the rest of her life in the pack. Sure it would be hard adjusting to everything and staying away from her family but she decided that she would just have to adapt to the situation.Though she wasn't ready to admit it because she had always been the stubborn type, she had intense feelings for Loki and she couldn't bear the thought of never seeing him again.She knew what she was feeling but she didn't want to put a name to thosefeelings because one of the hardest things to abide by in life is commitment.She took a deep breath and left her room, deciding to head for the throne room because that was where Loki spent most of his time recently and she couldn't help but wonder if she was the reason why he had become a workaholic recently.She tried to shake the thought off and just concluded that they had been apart for too long, it had been exactly three weeks sin

    The next few days did not go as Arianna had planned; she noticed that Loki seemed to be keeping a distance from her.He wasn't avoiding her completely, they still talked but she felt like he wasn't very friendly with her. That warmness and closeness they shared seemed to have evaporated and Arianna didn't like it one bit, she knew he was angry with her but she didn't want him to take it out on their friendship and she really didn't want to be pressured into a relationship she wasn't physically and emotionally ready for.She confronted him about the fact that he was being distant and his simple reply to her was that he was busy. She knew that it actually wasn't a lie because he always seemed to be debating one political issue or the other but she knew that wasn't the real reason.Before the little argument they had in her room, he used to be twice as busy but at the same time, he always found time to spend with her, talk with her or even play with her but gone were those days and she r

    Loki's hands went to the hem of her dress and lifted it up. Bringing it over her thighs and stopping at her flat stomach. She giggled softly as he traced his finger from her ankle up to her thighs and his lips followed suit, tracing feather light kisses on her hot skin until he had gotten to her inner thigh."You know I feel like marking you right now but I can't, you haven't fully accepted me yet." He said and continued his flurry of tickling kisses all over her thighs, his face just a few inches from her shielded core."What do you mean mark me?" Shequestioned softly. "I thought you knew a lot about werewolves?" He said and she snickered, feigning annoyance."I know enough about them but I certainly know nothing about their mating patterns." She said and he smirked, stopping what he was doing."Well you're going to have to learn today but not from a book, you'll get a lesson, first hand." He said and her cheeks heated up."Permission to proceed?" He requested, his fingers tracing t
