She stepped down and walked to the mansion with her head held high. It has been five good years since she had left the blue moon pack to further her education and learn different cultures. Some omegas at the corridor offered her a bow which she nodded to.She reached the living room and was received by a modest welcome from her family.Her parents, Alpha Damon and Luna Irene were situated at the living room waiting for their daughter. She was the only child of her parents and she was going to be the next female alpha hopefully along side her future mateAlpha Damon gave her a tight hug which she had barely expected. He held her shoulders observing her face. An approving smile crept on his face.It wasn't common for her to receive a hug plus an additional smile from her father. He was a strict man with an absolute exacting rules. She gave him a little smile."Welcome Ariel. I have things to do but I will leave you to your mother, ok.""Ok Alpha" she said and gave him a little bow as the Alpha strode out of their presence."Ariel go in and have your shower. You must be hungry too, your food will be served when you're done. Also they will be a party to welcome you in the evening. We know you are tired from your trip but these are all formalities....""Mother it's okay, it's fine" She breathed obviously tired of the ceaseless babble from her mother. She was well aware of the never ending schedules. One of the many things she hadn't missed about the pack."Uhm I would be going to shower, can you please tell the maid to send the food upstairs??""Okay I will. Don't forget about the party. I will call you when the time clocks eight sharp, please be ready." She responded with a tight smile and went to her room.Everything was how she left it. the room was dominated by blinding colours of blue which was her favourite colour. A queen-size bed was placed with a side cabinet. They were additional furnitures that matched with the blue colour of the room, two doors led to an extra large walk-in closet with a bathroom. The room was befitting for someone like her "An Alpha's daughter".She had many thoughts on her mind. One was how her freedom was going to be minimised in the blue moon pack. Being the daughter of one of the richest alpha in America she was subjected to lot of luxuries and she had many people to suck up to her because of her status but this lifestyle was quite overbearing. She was used to her freedom but here she needs to behave ladylike as the daughter of the Alpha.She sighed, if she had the opportunity she would have preferred to just stay over there but she knew that was close to impossible.After taking her shower, as requested her food was waiting for her on the table close to her sofa. An egg salad lettuce wrap with a steaming cup of tea.She munched on the wrap and replayed her current situation in her head non-stop.****Ariel's welcome party started at nine pm.She had dressed in a way that was fashionable but simple. It was necessary for her to stand out.The Luna had sent for her through the mind link which she had totally forgotten about. She took a deep breath and strode towards the corridor, she was already fifteen minutes late.Melodious sound could be heard coming from the huge hall. It was a clear evidence of Ariel's welcome party.She had faint memories of the people around, for it was far too long she had seen them.Just as she imagined the hall screamed of magnificence and elegance. Ladies in beautiful gowns adorned with shiny jewels. Somehow Ariel looked more simple compared to the guests.The people around noticed her presence and she could instantly feel the gazes fixated on her, somehow she felt a bit uncomfortable.An acknowledging announcement was made to make her presence known as she strode closed to were her both parents where sitted.As the next Alpha, different people came up to her to introduce themselves. She had a fake tight smile plastered on her face as she tried to be formal. She wished she had someone who could stick up to her and shoo all this people away.The mood in the party wasn't bad. It was something enjoyable for a normal guests if they weren't the center of attention like Ariel.She was tired of the incessant formalities, they all contributed massively to bore her. It was up to an hour and all she did was shook hands with unknown people and her parents introducing the more important ones to her. She wondered how her parents coped with such.She placed her hands on her chin, she was tired and was obviously jet lagging, she wished she could just excuse herself and go catch some sleep.She was wallowing in her sorrows, when she inhaled an intoxicating scent lingering in the air. The scent stirred her wolf, she could feel it's anxiousness. The scent was a bit faint and she had a strange urge to trace it. After inhaling a deep breath channelling all her senses on the scent.After guessing the direction of the sweet smell, she stood up ready to follow it. She was over ecstatic by the need to follow the intriguing scent."Where are you going?" Her father asked when he saw Ariel had stood up"I will be back, I- I uhm need to use the restroom". She stuttered out a white harmless lie.She walked out of the hall stepping outside. The scent became stronger with every step she took. As they was a party going on, the outside of the hall was almost empty, with few people loitering outside mostly the omegas or guards.She made a few turns here and there and then she finally saw it, the source of the overwhelming scent. It was a man, who seems to be walkng in her direction.Ariel mint green eyes locked with a mesmerizing blue eyes. Her body momentarily came to a halt, her eyes focused on every inch of the man. It felt like nothing else mattered anymore other than the man.She was walking with her whole attention focused on him, that she didn't notice she was too close and about to bump on him. Their bodies collided on each other and she felt a tingling spark all over her body at their connection. It was a foreign feeling to her and it made her wolf stir in joy."Mate," Ariel had her wolf say, it voiced laced with utmost excitement.He was... The most beautiful creature she had ever seen.She was lost of words to describe the person before her. She heaved a deep sigh of satisfaction by just staring at him. An unexplainable urge to bite him kept lingering in her mind.Her mate!!!, Her freaking mate!!!. It was quite unbelievable to find her mate in such a mysterious way. One moment she was bored and tired of the party and the next she's finding her mate. If she knew that they was such immense joy in finding her mate she would have searched for him long ago.His face was his usual neutral, controlled mask as he took her in, his eyes lingering for a split second on her shaking hands before coming back to hers. God, she couldn’t do this. This intense eye contact game they played. She just couldn’t do it right now, not with the way she was barely keeping down the scream that had been building in her throat. It wasn’t a scream of fear, or devastation, or desperation. Not even frustration, truly. It was trapped somewhere between them all, bouncing from one to the other while they laughed in her face— she'd been kidnapped and he was here to save her. Zeres was the last person she was expecting but somehow she knew he'd come. And that feeling of knowing he'd come for her— she didn't like it. “Did they hurt you?” The question, in that low, rough tone, caught her off guard. He was angry. Naturally, his face had this controlled and neutral expression but right now there was an edge to it, a murderous glint. And maybe she was hyperventilating
ONE OF THE WORST THINGS ABOUT HAVING A ROUND-THE-CLOCK bodyguard was having them in one's space everytime of the day. Well, it wouldn't be that bad if it was anyone else other than Zeres. Suddenly, he was everywhere within Ariel's space, and it turned out that breathing air was quite taxing when one's mate was close by. A new discovery she had to make was: who knew such a side effect existed, or maybe it was guilt? Now, everywhere she moved, Zeres was right behind her. From spa day to shopping and even the littlest trip in the forest, it all felt strangely domestic in a way it hadn’t felt before with anyone, but today was different. She hadn't seen him throughout breakfast, and it was almost mid-afternoon. It was quite unlike him. Though they hardly said a word to each other after the club incident, he was always almost there. 'Maybe he got fed up with your incensants and thought it wise to leave your cowardly ass alone.' A thought had popped into her head, but she'd shoved it back
“N-nothing.” The asshole said finally catching up with the mess he had landed.That took a while, Zeres had to admit but what was he expecting from a twerp— no— brained asshole anyways. The boys face had reddened with panic just from the little hold of Zeres. Zeres was sure the boy would have peed his pants if he carried out his wolf’s threat..“I don’t think it was nothing.” Zeres uttered tightening his hold on him, and the boy whimpered in pain. “You used a very derogatory word on my lady here, don't you think you need to apologize?.” Another tightening, another whimper. “Or would you prefer we do it my style, hmm?” Zeres didn’t need to spell out what his style was. “I’m sorry,” The boy mumbled begrudgingly to Ariel, who passed a stony look back to him She didn’t respond.“I didn’t hear you, say it like you mean it.” Zeres uttered adding a smile that made him look more unhinged. The smile contained more threat than humour. The boy’s eyes flashed with unmistakable hate, but he wasn’t
Zeres had known. He'd known she would be trouble the minute he'd set his eyes on her and when Alpha Damon had asked for a guard to keep an eye on his daughter and he had opted to do it himself, he knew he was f”cked. Well he wasn't exactly asked, but told, because Alpha Damon dealt in orders, not requests. But Zeres could have easily given the assignment to one of the lesser guards but he had wanted to.Him guarding the daughter of his enemy and the mate who rejected him, when all he wanted was to do was forget she ever existed? Worst idea in the history of bad ideas but he didn't have time for regrets. Then, he’d looked at her beside Alpha Xander and he saw something in her eyes that tugged at him unfortunately. Maybe it was the hint of loneliness or the vulnerability she tried to hide.Whatever it was, it was enough for him to say yes, albeit having vengeance in his mind— what better way to get revenge than punishing her with his proximity. Crazy, how she'd thought rejecting him wa
Just when Ariel was about to open the car door, she realized her hands had brushed against something, Zeres had also made the same attempt and while doing so their hands brushed against each other for a brief moment.There was a sudden surge of electricity within her over the brief contact. She wondered if it was him or static. She retracted her hands back and quickly said."You don't have to open the car door for me, I'm not incapable of doing so myself."Zeres didn't comment, he just blatantly ignored her and she knew it was intentional. "Rude." She muttered underneath her breath and rolled her eyes. For some unknown reason he was undeniably quiet than usual, he couldn't compliment her. Hailey had putting enough efforts in dressing her up for the goddamned club or whatever. Why was she even expecting a compliment from him? She definitely was dumb.The driver rev the car engine ready to start, when Zeres stepped into the car beside her."Wait! Wait! What are you doing?" She shrieked.
"I would excuse you ladies to do your business. Just contact me through the mind link if you need anything, Milady." Said Zeres. "You know you are a weird one right? So now you believe they should be given privacy." Midnight tsked, he couldn't fully understand how the mind of this specie worked. Zeres only rolled his eyes at his supposed wolf and bowed at the two nobles before exiting the room. Midnight wasn't satisfied with Zeres nonchalant attitude towards him."So you are just going to keep ignoring me! I wonder how I ended up with you of all people anyways. The moon goddess tends to be unfair sometimes." He uttered soberly, he was trying to play the sympathy card even though he had known fully well that it won't struck a chord in this nuthead werewolf. "Yes, she's quite unfair for making you a wolf rather than a bird. You are better off as a noise maker, Nightmare." Zeres dull voice responded, his shoes clicking softly on the floor as he walked through the hallway. "For the one
Chapter 12"I'd scream if you don't stop right now!!" Ariel threatened cheekily. "Don't kill me." She added in a low and shaky voice the more he progressed closer to her. He leaned towards her with an almost deliberate slowness were she could feel his masculine scents wafts into her nose causing her heart to thud noisily in her chest and a slight blush appeared on her face. 'What was wrong with her? Some dough mate was trying to strangle her and all her heart could do was act noisily?' What she didn't even understand was why she kept even calling him mate and why her heart always reacted strangely when he was close by when she had already rejected him though he didn't accept it but at least they should be something different and not some increasing mate pull. Zeres gruff voice spoked more like whispered closed to her ears. "I just wanted to return the pillow you threw, what were you thinking I wanted to do?" He threw a questioning glance at her while tossing the pillow on the other
Chapter 11The Alpha cleared his throat, dropping his cutlery gently he said. "Ariel, lest I forget Zeres here would be accompanying you wherever you want to go." What?" She shrieked abruptly not believing her ears, what did he mean by everywhere I want to go? "You mean like a body guard?" Her father raised an eyebrow's wondering why Ariel was overreacting more than usual."I don't know why I need a bodyguard, Alpha." She stated, this time a bit cautious not to arose suspicion from her attitude. "Besides, I barely go out, so what's the need of having him guard me.""After what happened with you and the rogues, I don't think it's right for you to even walk in the pack's ground without protection." Her father explained and she turned to her mother to help her out of this but her mother also passed out a helpless nod at her. When it comes to her father, everybody's hands were tied so as not to anger him or face his wrath or whatever. But this... This was even worst than she had imagin
Chapter 10 "It's so bright." Ariel mumbled with tired eyes that was getting affected by an unknown source of light. "Shit! What the hell?" She groaned, not liking the intrusion caused by the brightnessShe lazily fluttered her eyes open to be welcomed by a familiar surrounding being illuminated by the bright sun coming from the window.'Window?? Wasn't she supposed to be in the dark alley standing?'Wait a minute!!, How did she get here back in her room in the first place? Last thing she could remember was hearing the voice of Zeres telling her not to fret or was she hallucinating and nothing bizzare happened last night. She was darn sure she was standing with Zeres but she couldn't remember anything after then.'Am I dreaming?' It was the same view of her room that she had been waking up to since she arrived at blue moon Pack and to sum it all, the time had changed and it was no longer midnight.Just then there was a knock on the door breaking her from her thoughts, and the door op
