"Yes! I dare you to kiss me and claim me as yours, and let the world know what we are!" I declared boldly, with the pain seeking deep into my heart. As expected, he never said a word. His gaze was all I needed to understand the fact that I was once again being rejected by my second-chance mate, and this time it hurt more than I had imagined, since I had grown to love him. After being brutally abused and rejected by her first mate, the moon goddess decided to smile on her and pair her with her second chance, who was nothing but a cold-hearted Lycan king, known and feared by all. This time, he only wanted her to produce an heir, but she seemed to want more than he wanted, and now she was on the brink of being brutally rejected once again.

"Fuck! Yes, right there!" I heard the strange words coming from Alpha Dante's room. I paused for a moment, staring at the door in amusement. Some crazy thoughts filled my head, and I tried to shove them away. My name was Ariella Donald, and I was 20 years old that day. I had recently discovered that my mate was none other than my pack alpha, Alpha Dante. Currently, I was on the verge of losing my sanity. Since the day I found out that Alpha Dante was my mate, my life had been nothing but a life of mystery buried in shame and rejection. Being his mate was nothing to be proud of, since he never acknowledged me as one, nor was he ready to be committed to me. He despised me in all glory and would always do everything to talk trash and down on me. I had been nothing but a punching bag to the queen, who was his mother, and Lora, his chosen mate. The increasing moans and soft groans coming from inside the room interrupted my thoughts vaguely, making me shudder. I couldn't discern what I was hearing. A wave of fury and a surge of pain washed through me once again at the realization of what might be going on. Lora and Alpha Dante were currently having sex. The thought of it pierced my heart deeply. I stood close to the door, with my hand resting on the doorknob, as my heart winced rapidly in pain. I continued to ponder whether to open the door or not. I was on the verge of being used as a punching bag once again. And right then, I knew better than anyone that I shouldn't disturb the lovey-dovey couple. But the queen wouldn't let me off the hook if I didn't pass the message to him. My life had always been like this, being an omega who wasn't aware of her family background, makes me the pack's laughing stock. Everyone always made fun of me, since they knew how my parents abandoned me, and the queen took pity on me, and brought me to the palace. Since then, my life has been nothing but hell. The constant bullying, the abuse, and even the way everyone talked down on me. At some point, I had thought I got so used to it, but I never did. I just chose to ignore them. "It's now or never; make up your mind, Ariella. The queen's riot or our mate's riot?" my inner wolf asked. She was running out of patience, since we'd been standing there for the past 10 minutes. "Both, I guess. Not like I have any choice or escape route," I shrugged, as the words came out of my mouth bitterly. I gathered the last energy in me to open the door. And, as expected, they were having hot sex, and even when I entered, none of them cared enough. "Sorry... for... intruding... alpha..." I tried to say, but he cut me short, even before I could utter those words. His gaze was deadly, and it was a sign enough for me not to utter another word unless I wanted to be dead. My heart skipped a beat as I stared at them while they continued to have sex. I was in pain, bitter, and hurt, but I knew I dared not say a word, since this had been my reality for the past years. Discovering Alpha Dante as my mate had been the worst nightmare, since his hatred for me accelerated. Soon, they were done with their sex, and his deadly eyes landed on mine immediately. "What brings you to my chambers, slave?" his spiteful words hit my ears. "I'm... I... the... " I stammered with my words. I knew better than to say a word; he might get me killed if I said anything. I was driven by fear as I gazed at him, then back at Lora, who smirked. "Got no words to say, huh? For interrupting our moment, I guess the moon goddess suddenly cut off your tongue, yeah?" her voice dripped with sarcasm as she spat out those words. I shivered in fear, suddenly suppressed by pain and hurt. "Say whatever you have, you slave, and leave!!" Alpha Dante yelled, and I flinched. "The queen mother wants you in her chambers. Immediately," I let out those words spontaneously as I shivered. He was silent for some seconds, and between that moment, I knew what was going to happen already. There was no soothsayer to tell me; I knew definitely how angry he was right then, and how he was fighting to subdue his anger. He sighed, ruffled his hair, and then glared deadly at me. "Fuck!! How dare you interrupt me because of that? You low-life slave!" He shouted, his voice echoing through the room, as my heart pounded in my chest. If anyone had maybe told me that my mate would turn out to be this monster, I guess I wouldn't have believed it, not until I experienced it. "I... I... am sorry, alpha," I said those words slowly, still gripped by fear. I was not ready to serve any deadly punishment that day. As expected, those words yielded no meaning to him, he only scoffed and smirked angrily. "You've got to be punished,are you so into me that you can't let me go? You slaves' asshole, why the fuck did you keep ruining my life?" he half-yelled, and I flinched. "I guess she wanted you badly and she would do anything to be fucked by you. Given that she's your mate! Oops, sorry, a slave mate," Lora mocked. Her eyes were filled with joy as she said those hurtful words. "No! That's not it, the queen..." I tried to defend myself, but I was cut short by Alpha Dante's furious glares, even before I could get the words out of my lips. "Leave!" He commanded. "For daring to interrupt my moment, you would be punished, await my judgment." So he declared, and I bowed before spilling out of the room. I closed the door behind me, taking in a heavy breath, and sighed once again. "Guess I wouldn't escape the queen's riot and the alpha's riot, then," I mumbled sadly, with tears almost brimming in my eyes. "Guess so,our luck is always not so good," my inner wolf added, also very sad. She was right, more than ever, I had been nothing but a rejected omega, a low-life omega. At least, that was what everyone thought. And my mate was off no different. Of all the people who had been wicked and mean to me, he was the most wicked, more like a monster, and he had been my greatest nightmare. I prayed for a good mate.I desperately wanted to escape this hell, and I guessed this dream could never be fulfilled since my mate would one day reject me, perhaps not then, but it was certain enough. “The queen mother's want you in her chamber, immediately" I was still lost in deep thought, when one of the queen guards delivered the message to me and my heart thunder.~JADEN~"My life is not your business. Nothing I do is your fuckin' business," Ariella’s voice rings in my head.Her disputed fact. The boldness. The way she sounded, and even the anger radiating from her, was one thing I haven't been able to figure out.She's changing, and I don't know what is happening.I hadn't seen her eyes glow silver within a second and her actions. She could have attacked me.What the fuck is going on with her?Why is she suddenly growing violent each day?There's a new side to her I haven't seen.This side of her was filled with hatred towards me and everyone around me.Did I ignite the anger in her?I know I had caused her a lot of pain.I regret it all, but is that why she's as hard as hell?I can't believe she's been using her alpha aura lately.Maybe I was just reading meaning into it.A hand taps me, and I jerk back to reality, only to be faced with Beta Richford’s glares hovering all around me with stern interest inside the car."You haven’t been listen
~ARIELLA~I woke up looking more refreshed, and my energy had been renewed.I guess a good sleep was all I needed to make things better.I yawned, welcoming the early morning cold breeze into the room.Oh, I forgot to lock the window last night. I took a quick glance around the room, only to realize I had slept off in my chambers.Scoff.I didn’t think I’d sleep here.Good start though.I slept outside the Alpha’s chambers for the first time.Well deserved.I dragged myself from the bed and booted into the bathroom, yawning.A few minutes later, I was sitting in front of the golden pivotal mirror and drying my hair.The sounds of the water splashing on my skin this early morning had awakened my inner spirit.I guzzled down a bottle of water. Standing to my feet, I inhaled deeply, then slid a track top onto my body.I also wore a matching, soft trouser, stopping at my knee.I looked at myself from the mirror, and I was all set.Am I the only one noticing my changes? Or is it just the p
~ARIELLA~I kept running deep into the forest as my mind lingered back to what Jaden had said earlier."Whore, you now talk and mingle with all alphas too?"I didn’t stop running. His words were stuck in my head, and even the whistling of the birds, which aligned with the sounds of the forest’s bustling leaves, didn’t help to wash the thoughts off my mind.Running was the only way to clear my head in the bustling forest. I needed to isolate myself and be in seclusion.My legs met rapidly with the forest ground with every step I took. They were livid and filled with exasperation.My body continually brushed against some trees, but that didn’t stop the hurt I was feeling and the anger radiating through me from the forest."Stop, Ariella, we’re pregnant," Ariel’s voice broke out inside my head as I continued to dash through the forest. Despite hitting my body harshly on different trees surrounding me, I refused to adhere to her scream.I completely ignored her and continued to race deep
~JADEN~"Why the fuck did you keep this from me?" I slammed my two hands on the table, yelling angrily at Nathan."Because I thought it was not needed," he fires at me angrily.Scoff.I guess old habits never die."You could have gotten your son killed, Freak," I yelled."Never thought you'd care this much for your ex," he smirked after his last words.Anger surges in me, but I managed to suck it in before glaring at him and then back at Aliya.They didn't tell me the vital part of it all.Does De'Salvanio know about our kind?How could they be careless enough to let this out?Fools."And you, you didn't think to let me know?" Aliya felt hurt and broken as I directed my words at her.Right now, I don't fuckin' care about their feelings.Whether she's hurt, angry or brutally punished, I don't fuckin' care.But imposing danger on us and everyone around us?I don't mind blowing off their heads for that."Fuckin' answer me, you whore!" I roared and she flickered.Nathan roared also, block
~ARIELLA~I have never been this suspicious of anyone, not even Jaden, until he started this method.At some point, I was only filled with doubt for him and what he does.I didn't think things would get messy.I never thought he'd be overprotective.Is there something I wasn't aware of?I kept on trying to wrap my head around what was happening and why Jaden doesn't want things to be as they were before, but still, with each attempt, I am left with no clue."Can I?" Kate utters, standing by the office door. Her voice bluntly interrupted my thoughts."You're already in.""Ooops," she mutters. She lets herself in and locks the door before facing me."Miss Aliya wants to see you," she told me, and I can only glare at her.Same Aliya?She's the last person I'd expect to see.She's been creeping into my world for over three weeks now, and I don't know why she's still here.As much as I'd love to know her,There's something fishy about her.She's nice when she's with everyone, but a demon
ARIELLAI sat on the couch near my bed, welcoming the cold serenity of the atmosphere.The room seems to be falling in alignment with my thoughts, my head is bulging with different scenarios.The weight of Jaden's words was still heavy.I didn't read the meaning into his words.Him asking us to start all over again was unexpected.It's been a week since the incident.One week of him trying to act like the mate he has never been.One week of being stuck in an endless circle of him always hovering around me and wanting to know me.One week of Aliya living like she's part of the family.Always clinging and walking beside Jaden and yet, he wants us to start all over again.I had thought things would be different, I guess not.Not when he's still stuck up with his ex-mate and no matter how hard I try to act like I am not bothered.My heart always throbs whenever I see him.Deep down, I know I loved him.I wished we could settle our little differences and move on like a normal couple.But w
~ARIELLA~My heart hurts.I still feel a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I open my eyes, only to be welcomed by this familiar place.Hospital!I glance through every space. The realization of what had happened earlier hits me."My pup," I half-yelled as panic coursed through me.Fear gripped me as I tried to stand from the bed, and I was gripped by a sharp pang in my head."Our baby is fine," I heard his voice.My heart skidded in my chest.Slowly, my trembling legs felt a bit relaxed, likewise my heart.I turned to glare at him.His eyes were boring deep into mine.His gaze was fixated on me. With each glare, I felt drawn to him, despite my anger.I tried to sit properly on the bed, but I ended up groaning."You shouldn't, you aren't strong enough for that," Jaden offered, settling on the bed near me."Okay," I mumbled, my voice dripping with cold and ice.I couldn't help what I was feeling toward him.I hated the man standing next to me right now, and the last person I'd want to see
~ARIELLA~I couldn't let him hold onto me, not after what he's done.I knew I felt a sharp pain when I almost slipped and fell.But I was too angry to concentrate, so I had to rush out of the place.While I was going, I overheard him when he said, "Let's take you to your room."I felt a sharp pang in my chest, but I didn't budge.The moment I closed the door of the room, I fell to the floor as tears brimmed in my eyes.How could he?How dare he hurt me?I am pregnant for him.His pup is growing inside me, and he didn't think to let me know this.How dare he hurt me this much?I should have known this is what he signed up for the moment he let me sign those contracts.My chest contracted, as I felt a sharp pain in one side of my lower abdomen.Tears constantly brimmed in my eyes.The thought of him bringing in his ex-mate into the pack without letting me know hurts me.I felt hurt, deprived, and used.I had thought things would get better. I actually wanted to clear the air between us
~ARIELLA~"Now," Linda commanded, her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at Jaden."We'll talk about this, Linda. For now, let's have breakfast," Jaden tries to persuade her."Never," she fires. "I'd never have dinner with this monster.""Not now, Linda, please." Jaden's tone becomes soft as he says these words, and I am left to wonder what fate this woman standing here had with Linda.She seems more shaken and angry.Her feet tremble with anger, and even the woman who's the cause of her outburst never utters a word.I couldn't stop staring at them, and with each glare, I was convinced enough that she's the one.But what is her relationship with them?"I'll skip breakfast," Linda said, after a long bitter glare at the woman, and she turned to leave."Linda," Jaden called, but she didn't turn.She walked out angrily.Jaden sighs. I could see his pain coursing through him.He slowly turns towards us and glares at the woman who's standing before him."You can have dinner if you want,"
