Arianna stood still on the spot startled with her eyes closed as she held her breath, she was waiting for Jenna to look back and find her standing right just at her back.After expecting Jenna to say something for a few seconds, she heard nothing from her.“Maybe she didn’t see you,” Primal said.“She just mentioned my name!” “She must have heard me, and it’s all because I mentioned my name loudly to that thing, this is his fault,” Arianna said to Primal inwardly holding her fists tightly.“I didn’t expect you would mention your government name” Primal stated.“It was a reflex action, I didn’t think twice before mentioning my name,” Arianna said.“It’s fine, I guess you were under tension” “What do we do now?” Primal asked.“I have no idea, what would I tell Brian as to the reason I’m standing behind him with my eyes closed” Arianna replied.“Act surprised!”“Act as tho you are here to relieve stress and tell him didn’t think you would find him in a brothel” Primal stated.“What?!”
Arianna struggled to open her eyes as her head ached badly, she eventually did slowly and was surprised to find herself in a hospital bed.She raised her eyebrows widely and caught a glimpse of Brianna who was seated on the right side of the bed “Mum?” Arianna said slowly in an extremely low tone.“Ari!” Brianna screamed getting up from where she sat.“Thank goodness you’ve regained consciousness!”“I was so scared, I thought I had lost you,” Brianna said looking into Arianna’s eyeballs.“Aren’t you supposed to be resting?” “And what am I doing here?” Arianna asked slowly.“I would go back to resting when you get discharged from here”“And secondly I do not have a clear idea of why you’re here Brian hasn’t had the time to give me a proper explanation, but he mentioned something about Jenna having a hand in it,” Brianna said.“I think I now remember what happened” Arianna mumbled after a few seconds with her face squeezed.“Where’s Brian?” Arianna asked.“He stepped out to get medicat
“Are you sure she’s fit enough to go home by evening?” Brianna asked Doctor Henry.“Oh yes she just needs to rest and take her medications” he replied.“What about her wrist?” Brian asked.“It’s not perfectly fine, she should walk in for checkups on it every two days and you should make sure she doesn’t make use of that hand until the dressing is removed” Doctor Henry responded.“Noted,” Brian said smiling.“I’d ask the nurse to prepare the discharge papers, she can leave as soon as she signs them,” Doctor Henry said.“Mother needs to check her blood pressure Doctor Henry,” Arianna said before he could get out of her sight.“She has done that already,” Doctor Henry said and walked out of the ward.“Can I see the results, Mum?” Arianna asked.“Ari, you worry too much, we should focus on you now and me later”“I hope you’re feeling better, it’s okay if you want to spend a few more days here,” Brianna said moving closer to Arianna.“I’m fine Mum, I want to go home”“I don’t like it here
“What does he mean by his work here is done?” Arianna asked Primal while staring at Brian as he walked out of the room.There was no response from Primal, “Are you dead?” Arianna asked inwardly and still got no reply.“What is it you wanted to say to me before Brian came in?” Brianna asked as she lay on the bed.“It’s nothing Mum” she responded wearing a fake smile.“I know there is something” Brianna protested.“You were right Mum, I didn’t want to fix lunch for me because of an issue I had with him,” Arianna said in a bid to stop Brianna from questioning her further.“You’re so petty Ari,” Brianna remarked.“I think it’s best we go back to sleeping” Brianna added.“And I sincerely hope we wake up,” Arianna said.“What does that mean?” Brianna inquired after she processed the statement for a few seconds.“I said that because we’re both tired, I meant I hope we wake up soon,” Arianna responded.“Oh”“I would be sure to wake you up for dinner” Brianna mentioned.“That would only be pos
“I was just about to ask also” Brian replied.“I’ve only been away for two days,” Arianna said.“Technically it’s four days” Brian mumbled.“I would like to meet with the principal to inform him about my decision to quit,” He said aloud.“Okay,” Arianna said and made her way into her classroom while Brian went in search of the principal.“What’s with these new faces?” Arianna asked herself while walking towards her seat.“We have new friends” one of Ari’s classmates whispered to her and left the classroom catwalking.“That sounds interesting,” Arianna said with an attitude.“But why are they so many?” She questioned herself as she sat down.The bell rang a few seconds later and it was time for assembly.“No one not even the teachers is asking why I missed school?” “That’s weird”“It must be because of the new students, everyone’s got their attention on them”“Oh, they must have read about it online”“But no one cares to hear my side of the story? She deliberated as she walked down to
Arianna sat on the bed downcast, Brianna had explained how the dignitaries had stopped being on their side and how she had always covered up for them.“Mother didn’t want you feeling this way, that has been why she refused to inform you” “I didn’t enjoy lying to my daughter but I had no other options”“I even went as far as visiting them one after the other to find out what was going on”“They all humiliated me and acted as tho I was a beggar,” Brianna said.Arianna looked up at her Mother with teary eyes, she fought hard to hold back the tears but couldn’t, “It’s okay to cry it all out” Brianna remarked, and at that second tears rolled down Arianna’s cheeks uncontrollably.There was a knock on Brianna’s door, “Come in Brian” she said.“Good afternoon Mother,” Brian said.“Afternoon Brian”“I sent for you, please have your seat” Brianna stated and Brian sat instantly.“Ari explained all that transpired between you both on your way back from school to me,” Brianna said.“Is that why s
“How about we eat out?” Brianna asked Brian.“That wouldn’t be necessary, I could fix something for us to eat” Brian responded.“We should eat out”“That way I would be able to hear what people have to say about those that just moved into the pack,” Brianna remarked.“You don’t think no one would want to talk about it in your presence?” Brian asked.“I wouldn’t be going as the late Alpha’s wife,” Brianna said.“I’m confused” Brian mentioned.“I would disguise!” Brianna said.“Wow”“That sounds interesting!” Brian exclaimed.“Will Ari be going with us?” Brian asked.“I doubt that besides she still needs more time”“We would get something for her on our way back,” Brianna said.“Can I make a suggestion?” Brian questioned.“Sure” Brianna replied.“How about I go do this alone?”“That way it would be easier,” Brian said.“True!”“it would be easier for you to disguise than me,” Brianna remarked.“Exactly my thought!” Brian said.“How can I thank you enough?” Brianna asked giving him a big
The alarm rang, waking both Arianna and Brian, Arianna rolled to the right side of the bed to mute it with her eyes closed, she wasn’t conscious of the fact that she wasn’t in her room nor Brianna’s and the alarm wasn’t on the side of the bed.She stretched forth her hand reaching for the alarm, she lost patience as her hand touched nothing, and the noise kept on upsetting her.Opening her eyes in anger, she realized she wasn’t in her room, instantly she looked at the wall clock “It’s morning!” She yelled and Brian woke up due to how loud her yell was.“I can’t believe I spent the night here,” Arianna said jumping out of his bed.“Well, you did,” Brian said in a low tone.Arianna didn’t bother replying as she dashed out of his room straight to her room, she hurriedly prepared for school and rushed into the kitchen to fix breakfast.She was on the stairs when she saw Brianna setting the dining table, “Did you even sleep at all?”“Good morning to you too my dear daughter” “And yes I di
