Ariel's POV.....“Ugh! I don't have anything to wear…!!” I groaned out, frustrated. Not only that, but I've been trying to pick the perfect outfit for my date with Kevin, yet I can't decide on anything. Technically, I barely go shopping, so it's understandable I run out of clothes.Now I'm regretting it deeply. Drained, frustrated and a bit sad, I slumped on the bed. Staring at the ceiling, I contemplated whether to ask Tikka for help. She's done so much for me, I really don't want to be a bother to her.Yet, I'll be unable to do anything on my own. “What should I do?” I whispered and pouted heavily. Stealing a glance at the wall clock, I chewed my lips worriedly, since it's almost time for the date. I resorted to asking Tikka, so I stood from the bed. Then again, Tikka had been leaning against the door silently and unknowingly. “Tikka!” I sulked instantly. She chuckled, probably amused at how pathetic I literally am. “What's the matter, baby doll? You look terrible; wipe that pitif
Kevin's POV…Ariel helplessly flushed heavily afterward; her cheeks were bright pink, and she briefly looked away. I never knew she'd get so flustered to the extent she couldn't speak. I snickered as I let go out her hands. The air was getting somewhat awkward, but thankfully the reappearance of the waiter cleared it. He placed our dishes on the table as he dashed out a friendly smile. “Food's here” I spoke, and she finally faced me. Yet, she didn't maintain eye contact. Ariel gently removed her jacket, revealing her blemish free but pale skin. I marvelled at how effortlessly beautiful she can be. She noticed my persistent gaze, then snapped her fingers in my face.“Yeah?” I curved an eyebrow, although I never broke my gaze on her. “Aren't you going to eat?” she asked with a small smile; it's obvious she's slightly shy. “If you're on the menu I'll be happy to” I responded with a coquettish smile. Ariel batted her shiny eyelashes repeatedly before she blushed excessively again.“Kev
Kevin's POV…Despite how much I wanted to know why she is here, I had no time to indulge in irrelevant discussions. I attempted to leave but halted as she scrawled. “Hey! Don't act cocky. How dare you try to walk away when I'm talking to you? Don't act smart with me, you f****** bastard!” her voice was getting a bit loud and I feared for the interruption of the amusement park officer—if they find me lingering around the female restroom section, then I might get into trouble. “Chloe, I am truly sorry, but can we have this conversation some other time? I have somewhere to be please!” I tried to plead with her, but the stubborn bitch wasn't having none of it. “Why are you so hesitant to leave? I'm positive you were looking for someone—who the hell was it? Ariel?” Gosh! Why the f*** do I keep running into talkative? “It's none of your business to be sincere” I responded curtly, not giving a damn if she finds my tone rude. Chloe clutched her fist angrily. “It is pretty obvious you're lo
Ariel's POV…I couldn't stop running hurriedly after I alighted from the bike. I was actually thankful that Kevin didn't mind taking me to the hospital at such an ungodly hour. My heart won't stop beating violently in my chest after I received that call. Tikka got robbed? How? Why? — the questions kept flooding freely in my head and trust me it's driving me f****** crazy! It would have been okay if only the money was taken, but she also got assaulted. I mean, why are people so f****** inhumane? Rushing into the reception, I spotted two individuals—Agnes and Chloe. I didn't need to worry myself why they are here; it is evident they came to get Ace treated after what's Kevin did to him. Fucking bitches…!“I'm here for Tikka Lewiston!” I half-yelled at the receptionist. “Oh… right this way please” she was kind enough to lead me towards Tikka's ward, but I had to wait for Kevin to catch up. When he did, I went after the nurse with him trailing behind her. “Thank you very much!” I gushed
Ariel's POV…The atmosphere in the room got tensed rather too quickly after she said that. I never doubted the authenticity of her words, but at what price does it come?Agnes isn't good enough to give me that large sum of money without a condition—she desires something from me, but what?The smirk persisted on her lips as she maintained her gaze on me. I heaved a deep sigh now contemplating whether to speak any further. If I remain silent, she'll feel awkward and eventually leave, but if I utter a word she'll continue. “So, what do you say, Ariel?” Agnes turned fully facing me. I chewed my lips, thinking hardly on my next course of action. “Ariel, dear?” she called again due to my lack of response. “You'll give me that large amount of money. Why? What do you want in return? You're far from being generous, so what's the chase?” I asked, and she gasped, feigning shock. Then again, her expression twisted into a wicked one shortly. “I'm impressed how tactfully you think. Well, you're r
Kevin's POV…“Thank you! Come again soon!” the waitress beamed gleefully as I walked out of the restaurant. I was done, grabbing Ariel and mine breakfast. I'm very much aware how reluctant she will be to leave the hospital, so it's only advisable I get something for her to eat. With a hand tucked into my pocket and the other holding on to the nylon, I walked slowly back. I wondered if Tikka has awoken. “I pray that she has” I whispered quietly. It is f****** evident that someone must have orchestrated the whole robbery. But who the hell might have done that? Thinking deeply into it is not going to provide an answer, so it's best I do not bother. I stopped walking on the sidewalk as soon as my phone began to ring loudly. Gazing, I gritted my teeth once I saw its Tyler. “Must he be a pain in my ass?” I muttered while swiping the green button. “Kevin, is she awake now! How is Tikka doing?” little brat asked gushingly; so he doesn't care about me, his brother? “I don't know, okay. And
Kevin's POV…I contemplated for a long time whether to go see her. Fortunately, it is still noon, but night it is creeping in slowly. Then again, what could she possibly want from me?If she's going to reprimand me for beating her fucking son to a pulp, then she has another think coming to her. I let out a low hiss and tossed the phone carelessly on the bed. I have better things to do than seeing her. Shortly after that Ariel emerged from the bathroom with water dripping freely from her body—her wet blonde hair stuck rebelliously to her forehead adding so much to her beauty—those pinkish lips of her, although a bit swollen due to our numerous kisses, appeared so tempting; it won't hurt to kiss her again right? Unknowingly, I had been staring for quite a while. “You look like you're going to devour me anytime soon” her sassy tone broke through thoughts. I blinked rapidly, a bit ashamed. “You can't blame me for having such a hot mate” I responded, although it was almost inaudible. Ari
Ariel's POV…I understood perfectly why Kevin is so skeptical about the whole dinner—I am too, but I just have to keep to my words. Asides that, there's something I need to attain from Ace; it might get risky but to ensure a flawless revenge, it must be done. Later that evening, after paying Tikka a visit, I boarded a taxi to the mansion. Throughout the drive, my eyes were fixed on the screen of my phone due to Kevin's persistent text. I don't understand why he's so apprehensive, maybe it's his hunch. I spent the ride there, texting Kevin reassuringly until I arrived. Done settling the fee, I walked into the mansion. Halting at the doorstep, I inhaled as I attempted to knock. Then again, the door suddenly got opened from within, revealing Ace. His face was decorated with plasters—not like I'm surprised; Kevin was ruthless. “Sweetheart!” he squealed, grabbing hold of my hand instantly. Although I felt uncomfortable with his touch, I could merely smirk disgustingly. He shut the door
124Ace promised to kill Ariel but went insane when Chloe appeared to him telling him to stop that he can't win against her. He laughed hysterically showcasing mental disorder. Kevin proposed marriage to her and she tried to refuse it but then she thought about it and later. She agreed and they got married. They became the youngest Alpha and Luna. Susan called the elders and planned to tell them that it was time for them to reveal the truth about her son. They called meeting between Susan and Agnes. Agnes was told the truth.Agnes got angry including Ace. Chloe fought with them. Agnes used her powers on Susan but got hurt instead. The elders didn't get to make their verdict. Agnes vowed to kill everyone of them. He pulled out and grabbed my waist. He made me turn back and my ass in the air. My two palms were on the bed. This guy is freaking crazy. In my asshole, he slammed into it so hard that I gripped the bedsheet even harder. He didn't slow down for a minute at all. He pummeled
123Chloe was rushed to the hospital but died on their way there. She died on Ace's laps. Ace cried his eyes out and blamed his mother for killing chloe. Agnes got tired and promised to kill Ariel herself. Ariel's POVAmidst the music playing in the evening, I received the other seven customers. I wrote it down so I won't forget. Some people just love crazy combinations of food. How can you suddenly order Ramen and Rice Krispies? Like who does that? I stared at the old-looking woman. She was looking pale and haggard. More in a poor condition. Gross!But I felt pity for her. Where are her children? Does she even have one? Those questions ran across my mind. She doesn't look like she has a family. She smiled at me and I returned the smile. I feel sorry for her though. She was in her old age with no one to take care of her. "You look pretty." She said to me. "Thank you, ma'am," I muttered to her. She reminded me of my grandmother. I wish she is still alive. She compliments me every
122 He followed behind me. When I got to the entrance. He talked. "How do you know what they are planning?" He asked. "Let's just say everything happened for a reason. I will go sleep now.." I told him and walked away. On getting to the room, I removed my clothes again and dropped them on the couch. This time, I climbed on the bed and slept immediately. * Three days later, We were being called on the phone that our results are out. I felt shivers running down my spine. Oh goodness! I hope I pass. I hope, I hope, I hope. Because this will serve as a stepping stone for me in getting closer to my university days. I was in university when my life was cut short my those stupid bitches. I was ready to go. Anxiety crept into my body when I and Kevin got to school. We were holding hands and that somehow made me calm my nerves down. I was relieved but not exactly. We weren't in our uniforms because some students had planned to throw a party when everyone passed the exam. I was pu
121 "What if it was a lie? Do you know what she is planning? It might be that she is planning something against you, you know and you believed her. Cmon.. " "I need to go see her. I feel like she is beginning to change for the better." I said and he sighed. "Fine! Then I will follow you." "You don't have to do that all. I will just go on my own." "It's either you let me go with you or you are not stepping out of this house." He muttered. I sighed. Does Agnes really think that she could hurt Aunt Susan? Susan is a very powerful woman. Among the scarlet's pride. She is the superior and Agnes was superior to her. What does she think she could do to Aunt Susan. The first I did when we arrived home was to get a glass of water. I prevented Tyler from getting hurt and I dealt with Ace and Chloe too. Thinking they would hurt him. He is still hasn't discovered his powers yet until he clocks seventeen. He is still sixteen. I had almost drained my power because of them. Those monste
120 "That what?" Agnes asked impatiently. "That i am the next in line to rule the pack? As the Alpha?" Ace bluffed and I shot him a death glare. How dare he say that? He is not even showing any sign that he will be the next Alpha in line. How would he explain that? "Without showing any sign of an Alpha, you can't rule." Elder Miguel completed. Agnes sprang up and hit her palm on the table. Why the hell can't this woman just calm the fuck down? She just needs to listen and hear the truth. The bitter truth that will ruin them forever. "What are you trying to insinuate?" Agnes blurted and the Elders stood up at her at once. Together. "Why cant you just listen to us, woman? Why are you such in a hurry? The respect we are still according to you is because you are the past Alpha's mate. We can't just disregard you like that and take the decision behind you. Remember that once the Alpha dies, the mate isn't regarded as the Luna anymore. Do you understand?" Elder Frank buttressed.. A
119Ariel's POVAfter the sex we had last night, I became sore all over and exhausted up till now I was still exhausted. He had slammed into me and fucked me like he hated me. He did it like he despised me. He poured all his anger, emotions into me and I took it like the good girl he said I was. He made me cum like five times in a row before leaving me alone. I couldn't walk back to bed on my own. He had to carry me to my room. He bathed for me and we still fucked in the shower. He slammed harder like I was going to lose my life.After that, I collapsed on his arms and he put on a pajama for me. He wore it on me and placed a kiss on my forehead. I slept off like a baby on the bed. I woke up sore this morning and I tried to stand on my feet but then I realized that I couldn't. I tried again and again. As I took a step with my shaky legs, I fell on the bed and gave up on standing up. I took my phone and checked the the time. Oh my goodness! What? This is twelve in the afternoon. So I
118"Stop it!" I yelled at him. It wasn't choking though but his anger was going to ruin things. Then I felt his hand trailing down my neck to my breast. I hope I can do something to calm him down. To make him listen to me. What can I do? I need him to calm down so we can talk things out."Fine! You can carry out your anger on me. Transfer everything on me but not on anyone else. If you want my body, I will give it to you. Just don't hurt anyone. Please. I am begging you. Forgive your mom, she is trying to protect you." I said. "But she hurt me. She should have let me known my identity before. If she had told me so far, it wouldn't have led to this" He said and turned his back. He was staring the buildings through the window. Maybe I could comfort him with my body. He could have me now and stop getting angry. If he could transfer his aggression on me so I would feel his pain. I walked over to the door and locked it. I took off my crop top and threw it on the table. And my shorts to
117Alpha Eloho Dawson?The past Alpha? She was a mistress to him. I didn't find any problem with that though but the fact that she kept it away from her children so they won't think that she is a bad person was not so right. I am not judging her though because she has been a very good person and I love her too. .Tears rolled down her cheek countlessly. I have never seen her in this state before. She was always smiling. Smiling like nothing was never wrong. Now I know. Most people that smile have one or two problems they are battling with. There are many sad things behind their smile. I moved closer to her and pulled her into a hug. I consoled and she rested her head on my shoulder. It was then I realized those people that are involved. Wait! If Kevin and Tyler are Alpha Eloho's children then they are Ace's stepbrother. Ace is in next in line to be Alpha. Oh my goodness! This is a battle. A bigger battle that won't end so quick. And in this land, it was said that anyone that has
116One week later*After that day, we didn't later have sex because I told him that I needed space and he should give me time. He agreed with me. I could remember his words vividly. *I will only give you three weeks to get over everything and till then I won't make a move on you. I won't touch you. Just know that when the three weeks elapses, I am coming back to take my place in your heart. To mark you all over and we will start from there. I can't leave you forever, that's impossible!*Those were his words and he was true to his words because it had been a week now. He hasn't touch me or make any move on me. We only said our greetings when I bump into him in the house. I need to make my plans before the three weeks elapses. I have been training at the field behind the house. Susan didn't allow me to go back to my house so I have been living with them. Tyler and I had started talking again. I could now walk from one place to another. There was no problem. Only Jerome and Chris have
