Please read at your own discretion.Aniston’s POVI stood in the shower naked as a new born baby counting minutes till my hot…hot mate who just told me he was in love with me joined me.Then the doubt started to creep in. He was going to see me naked and be…inside me and stuff. Did I even shave?I am supposed to shave right?! Quick Ani, check!I was about to when the door opened and Ari walked inside and locked the door behind him.He joined me in the shower and stood behind me and let his hands wander.I should say something…right? I could sneak out for a minute and shave my legs.I opened my mouth speak...All that came out was a hum.A hum?Are you fucking kidding me?!A freaking hum like a cave person. Ari ran his hand through my dark thick wet hair that fell to my back before grabbing a handful of it to rub on his cheek. When he was done, he pushed them away to expose my bare back. First he kissed my neck as his left hand
Chapter: Ari's POVChaos came in the form of a letter from my mother Luna Annalise Audrey Black, the content was simple yet difficult to wrap my mind around… mama wasn't one to beat around the bush…my brother had gone mad.Before the arrival of the letter, life was simple or at least it was simple enough if I take away the fact that I was a twenty two year old Alpha blood that was in line to be Alpha of the Bayblue pack, the largest most ruthless pack in this side of the world thanks to my father's reputation yet I had no mate.But that's okay! I think.The Black family were late bloomers. My father Alpha Ryan Darken Black didn't find his mate until the ripe age of twenty nine probably because he was busy planning war and winning territories but college is no small feat too, so, I guess I had a reason too.As I packed my bags to return home, my girlfriend walked inside my Dorm room."I got your text. Seemed urgent, is everything alright with Storm?" Jennifer was holding a half smoked
Storm's POV I couldn't resist the urge to turn and watch my incredibly fucked up father and mother suck each other's mouth in public.A boy turned to me."Dude, your father is kind of a pro! Way to go, Alpha!" I turned sharply to find Chastity, the beta's daughter standing very close to me. I hadn't heard her come.She touched my thigh."I heard that sometimes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Do you want to get out of here…with me?" She asked.I watched as her hand moved higher until there was a threat that she would soon be cupping my manhood if left unchecked. I moved closer to her to whisper in her left ear."its fun, isn't it?" I asked her."What is?" Chastity asked me."The idea that we could bang, Chas" I called her by the shortened version of her name which she seemed to love.I heard the deep throat giggle and I smiled."Yes, it could be" She agreed with me.I stared at her with what I hoped were kind eyes and I gestured for her to come closer, which she did.She w
Ari's POV When Storm came to, he was in the forest lying on a pile of dry leaves with his head on a makeshift pillow. He sat upright and took the backpack that was used to make a pillow and stared at it.The letter A was engraved on it with a white thread…A for Ari."Ari" he murmured again and looked around like he was hoping to catch a glimpse of his rascal older brother. I was far away from him. I was sitting on a log of wood near a fire I made myself and I was tending to the bush meat I was roasting.I have missed this.He stood up from the ground very fast and stared at me cautiously."Finally!" I said as my laughter echoed "I was beginning to think I placed you in a Coma, little dude!" I took a bottle of water that was by my feet and threw it at him. He caught it and quickly took a sip. He was out for a while.I smiled again and gestured for him to come to me."Don't just stand there. Come closer…don't worry, I won't hit you again and…sorry about before, it was the only way to
Chapter 4: Honest to God talk Ari's POVI watched my brother's face as he struggled with disbelief and then another emotion I couldn't decipher. I think it was a surprise. Storm was surprised that someone like me could fail at something so mundane. I chuckled…it was a sad sound but it was all I got. "And that look right there was why I stayed away from you, from our parents and from the pack. Because everyone expects me to be Ari freaking Thunderbolt Black, the future of the Bayblue pack…pride of his parents…hero! Role model! Savior! It was too much, Storm and I cracked, okay? I couldn't hack life outside the pack and I was miserable. I failed most of my first year courses and slipped right into depression…""Why didn't you say anything?" He asked me."What was I supposed to say, Storm? What was I supposed to do? Let you and everyone else down? On what grounds? What would be a good enough reason to give to you, our parents and the pack? So, I did what I have always done, I pushed on
Chapter 5: Look at me Ari's POV When we got home roughly an hour later, my parents were outside. Alpha was sitting on a large armchair with his legs crossed and Luna was pacing like the ground she was walking on was on fire.I knew how much Alpha hated it when she paced and if he was silent about it then he was in his own head.I walked in front of my brother as we approach our parents. I could tell Storm kept his mind in a happy place as he got ready to accept whatever punishment the Alpha dishes out to him."Don't walk behind me, you are no longer ten, little dude and you are taller than me. I bet hiding behind me makes both of us look ridiculous" After I pointed the obvious to my brother, it amused him and he tried to suppress a snicker.“Stormy, I am warning you. Do not make me laugh!" My warning made him laugh harder which in turn made me laugh too. Storm turned around to place his face elsewhere so our parents wouldn't see him laugh and I did the same. It only made us laugh h
Chapter 6: My idiot brother and a girl I don't know Storm's POV "I was wrong, Storm. I had no idea I was breaking you. I am sorry" He was my father, my very proud Alpha father who just admitted he was wrong. What was I supposed to do with that?! Where was I supposed to put all of this anger inside of me?!If I can't stay mad at them then what was I going to do?!I was furious all of a sudden and I ignored my brother's advice. I shoved the Alpha of bayblue pack."No!" I yelled to his face "I said no! You don't get to say I am sorry! Do you hear me, Alpha Ryan?! You don't get to be absolved of your sins with just those words! No sir"I tried to leave but he pulled me back and hugged me. I fought him for a while before I stopped and shrunk myself to fit inside him."Papa" I murmured."I am here. I am here, Storm. I am here my sweet boy""Papa" I cried harder and buried my face in his chest."I am going to fix this. I swear to you, I will fix this"We stayed like that for a while unt
Chapter 7: unfair world Ari's POV I parked my car by the roadside and got out. I ran to her side and I tried to talk her out of it "Whoa! Wait! Whatever it is, can we talk about it?" I asked the girl and tried to move closer. "Don't come closer to me!" She yelled at me "Okay. I won't. Can you tell me your name?" I asked her. "Ani…Aniston" she whispered I nodded like in doing so that she would get down from the ledge "Can you come down and tell me what went wrong with your life that this is the only option you think you have?" "Stop talking to me and leave me in peace" Other cars were stopping already and a handful of people were beginning to gather I looked around and I tried to ignore the crowd and I moved closer to her "You are in pain, Aniston " "No kidding" she answered sarcastically "I know what pain is. Everyone that lives and breathes experiences it once in their lifetime. So, you are not that special, Aniston …" "You are right, there is nothing special a

Aniston’s PovI sat on a swing by the playground for a while. God, I don’t think I have ever been so nervous like this before. Forty-five minutes and counting, that is the amount of time I have sat at this spot waiting for Ari to come, refusing to accept that it might just be over for us.I tried not to imagine a world without him, I did just the opposite. I allowed myself to daydream…about a possible future where I was actually happy with the love of my life, we had two children, a daughter named Dani and a son name Ari-Storm. And two rescue dogs and a white picket fence.I knew that the possible of that happening was slim…it got slimmer when I felt the first drop of rain.It was almost an hour, he wasn’t coming.Storm came to sit beside me."What are you doing?" he asked me."Waiting" I murmured."For?" he asked but I kept quiet. "What are you waiting for? It is going to be a downpour, Ani. I don’t think he is coming".I turned to look at him. My eyes had a glint of tears in them bu
Aniston’s POV“Few weeks ago when you told me you love me, did you mean it?” Ari asked.“Yes. I love you”“Okay…okay then, because maybe I can live with your secrets” he murmured. “Even thought it hurts that you can’t trust me with them but I am tired, Ani…tired of hoping I could catch a glimpse of you in my dreams...Tired of hoping, praying that maybe you would give me a reason why I am so untrustworthy. I have recurring nightmares of you lying dead in a ditch somewhere and then I would wake up and pace and scream and pray! I am tired of being left on the side walk”“You asked me to leave, Ari”“Well, you didn’t want to stay. You would rather be elsewhere but with me, Aniston! You chose your bloody secrets over me! That hurts you know”I grabbed his arm. "I am sorry. I got scared and I panicked. And I just…ran. I didn't think, I couldn't think…I just ran. And I thought I would never see you again but you are here and I am here now and I want to tell you everything, Ari…everything fro
ChapterAri’s POVI stared at her face and then everything stopped. Time stopped like I wanted it to, because right this minute…right this second, everything just became too real and I had to deal with it.But I don't want to.I want to go back to the beginning. To the time when I was a boy and my only concern was the butterfly outside my window, when my mother's embrace was the safest place for me.I want to go back to the time when my father's shoulder was the highest place in the whole wide world…to the time when crying meant a smile was just around the corner.I want the beginning, when mother's laughter was music to my ears and father's voice was a source of admiration and solace.I want the little tree house behind the house, I want the fake dance parties and fast car races…to the time of tooth fairies and little gods, when Santa Claus was real…when all I had to be was… good and everything worked out just the way they were meant to be.I want the beginning and the goodies that c
Ari's POV I must have stood there for a very long time, just staring at nothing. Images of a naked man in Aniston’s room stayed with me for as long as i stood there. I mean nothing made sense anymore; nothing seemed real anymore too…everything has gone to shit. “Ari?” Everything seemed so far away like I was floating and nothing was keeping me tethered to earth anymore. Something didn’t feel right. I could feel it from the depth of my soul…I could feel it. I just can’t explain it. “Ari? Hey, are you alright?” Dev’s voice brought back to reality, I turned around and looked at her. She had a smile on her face. “Making this trip is the best thing to have happened to…” “I have to go” I murmured, more to myself than for her benefit. “What? Go where?” she looked puzzled. “I just saw a naked man in Ani’s room” I said and looked at her with this deep frown that came from my soul. “I am so sorry” She said. It sounded like she meant it. “It is a good thing we are here…away from all t
Aniston's POV "No, I am not""Yes, you are. It was idiotic of me to trust someone like Anton, I know but I was going crazy with boredom and…" I was interrupted by Markle "Do you know what is worse than boredom? Death, sis. You went with a strange man to God knows where, outside the scope of my protection and he could have hurt you…really hurt. Did you even think it through….""I am not a child, Mark. I can fucking take care of myself and stop treating me like some porcelain doll that will break at the sign of trouble! I am not breakable! Or I would have shattered a long time ago…so, just stop! Just…cut me some slack" i voiced my opinion strongly before continuing on my journey to my room, he tried to follow me but I stopped him"I know you suddenly want to be a good big brother but Just give me some space…I am serious, Mark, don't follow me!"I walked away and banged the door as loudly as I could when I got to my cabin.I went into my makeshift closet to change into something less
Chapter "Wow…you are really…really bad at threats, Aniston. Laxatives? Laxative was the best threat you could come up with. Even the way you are standing doesn't encourage fear and your face looked like you are about to offer me chocolate"I was taken aback and I couldn't speak. Anton removed his hand from his pocket."I am going to do something I rarely do. I am going to teach you how to effectively threaten someone and get them to take you seriously. Now stand upright, it will make you taller, narrow your eyes…please stop smiling…move closer to your intended recipient, pout and make sure to voice out each word with precision and bone chilling coldness, none of your sweet soprano voice, for Christ sake you are threatening someone not trying to get them to fall in love with you. Now, give it a try" Anton instructed me.I relaxed. I was always in the mood to learn something new.I stood upright earning another inch; I narrowed my eyes and pouted. When I opened my mouth, every word was
ChapterAri's POV Chioma didn't give it much thought; she just went around the table and hugged Veronica. "It won't be enough for the whole project but it is a good start. You can stop hugging me now, I haven't told you but…there is only a tiny hiccup, we need an engineer""Oh that's okay, Ari is one and a damn good one too. I am sure he is happy to help" Lee said and I turned sharply to glare at him in shock.Why on earth would he volunteer me for a project that huge when we leave in three weeks for home?"Will you?" Chioma asked me with a puppy dog look I couldn't turn down."Sure. Excuse us, come on guys" I ushered my friends out the door specifically to get my hands on Lee and murder him.When we were out of a hearing distance from Veronica's office, Lee took off on a run.I looked at Dev and I didn't have to ask too. She seemed pissed off."I will get him and I am going to fucking kill him!" She ran after him leaving just Caleb and I to stand in the middle of the hallway stari
ChapterAri's POV "Yes, that's one reason and second, is I don't want anything complicated right now. Nothing about starting up a relationship with Chioma screams simple. So, just drop it" I told him firmly. "And Lee, don't talk about Aniston like that ever again"Lee was quiet for a few seconds before he said something."Let's see how long you can go without sex, Ari""You make it sound like I am an addict" I turned to look at him."Just saying….the only thing the two of us have in common is the fact that we aren't saints. We all including Caleb love a good bang, maybe you more than all of us""I love sex! I ain't ashamed to acknowledge that but I am not a dog and I have self control. And I refuse to treat women like a sex object. Worry about yourself, Lee"I said and walked away but not before I heard him mutter "you are so full of it"I almost made it to my room which was opposite Chioma's when I saw a boy knocking on her door.He was skinny, average and had a dark chocolate skin
