110Ariel's POV"I can't stay here, aunt. I won't be able to stand him at all. Not for once because since before we are always fighting or spoken against each other." I said trying to make her know but she also insisted on me staying with them and that I needed to be safe. That those people who kidnapped me are still alive. That they are still after my life. She touched the tip of my hair. "Please, dear. It is for your safety, Ariel. You can do this. But just remember that you can't stay away from him forever. He is your mate and the more you try to get away from him, you will always get back together. Something will always bring you back together. " She explained. I didn't know having a mate would be this stressful. I can protect myself. They don't need to make me feel like a weakling. I just can't sit here and watch my best friend and my mate kissing. It's disgusting. He didn't deny it either it. If they were both dating then why can't he leave me alone and we go our separate w
111Writer's POVAgnes was seen pacing around the living room and Ace was busy cussing out in a rash manner. Chloe wouldn't stop sobbing and that alone irritates Agnes so that she shouted hard at her. Agnes turned to her. "Is that all you can do? Sob like a little kid?" Agnes shouted at her. Chloe looked up at Agnes. "What?" "Why didn't you call us the moment you saw her running off?" She yelled uncontrollably. "I don't know. It was because - because" Chloe stuttered breathing heavily. "What?" "She pulled a smart move on me by making those logs of wood my leg and now I can't even walk well because of her," Chloe complained. "She pulled a smart move on you? I thought you were smart. Why did I even -"Agnes didn't get to finish talking when Ace interrupted. "That's not the point mom. The point is that how did she get to run off? Her wolf was weakened and it won't be difficult for a normal werewolf to just escape just like that." Ace proposed looking at Agnes. It was then Agnes
112I was okay Yes, I was. The only thing I wasn't okay with was seeing Tikka in front of me inside my room. Not exactly my room but Susan's second room which she allowed me to stay in. Tikka still had the nerve to enter my room and talk to me and still behave as of nothing happened between her and Kevin. I watched as she rushed to me and hugged me. Somehow I felt she didn't do it on purpose. Lily and Liana hugged me too almost suffocating me to death. What kind of?I gathered all my strength and pushed them away. Where were they when Tikka was kissing my boyfriend? Did I just say, my boyfriend? No, he isn't. My ex. I don't what they all think of me now. I don't give a shit either. They all betrayed me. "What's wrong?" Tikka asked. "So are you two dating now?" I flashed back at her ignoring her question with anger brewing in me."No, we aren't. We are not dating.." She said sadly. Why was she sad? Is she also pretending too? Just like Chloe did to me? How dare she do that?
113Ariel's POVI felt bad for pushing him away like that. I should be glad and happy for pushing him away. I shouldn't care about him at all. After all he had done to me, he thinks that he would be able to calm me down. To hell with all of them. I will get back at them one after the other. I remembered over again. Flash back* Tears brimmed my eyes when I saw the disgusting sight in front of me. I just don't know what to say or what to do. Whether I should cry, laugh or walk away. I don't even understand at this point. At all. I don't even know. I ran my fingers across my hair and the tears overflowed. He broke my trust in him. The disgusting sight in front of me made my stomach churn in anger. I was filled with hurt. It hurts so much. I thought he won't cheat on me. That was what I thought but then it turned out I didn't know what had been happening behind me. Maybe I was destined not to have a mate to call my own. Maybe I was destined not to fall in love. Maybe I was destined
114I jolted out of the flashback and I swear this is not what I thought it would be. It felt familiar. These people's next plan was to try and poison me. Ace, Chloe and Agnes but that ia never going to happen to me. Anyone they want to use against me will die before me instead. They thought I had forgotten so easily. I almost died of food poisoning before. I am never going to die that easily I swear to the moon goddess. The only reason I am still staying here was because of my legs that felt numb and I can't even move. How was I supposed to move around like this when my legs are not working at all? Well where is layla by the way? Where did she go? Did she just leave me alone like this? Maybe it was the actual time for me to forgive Kevin. He had tried enough to explain everything to me. But no! I am not going to accept that easily. Whatever that will happen should happen. I am not going to meet him. He cheated on me with Shantel and my friend, Tikka. I don't think I can ever forg
115Those were his words. He climbed on the bed and held my legs down in order for me not to injure myself. I don't care. I just don't want him touch me. I liked my life better when my grandmother was still alive. No one to cuff me or cheat on me like he did to me. He hurt me and still wanted to sleep with me? He leaned into me and pulled my nipples into his mouth and pressed me. Doing all sort of things to me. He whispered dirty words in my ear as he did it. He wrapped his hands around my throat tightly but not to the point of choking me to death. He massaged my breasts while looking into my eyes. For some reason, I was captivated with those eyes. I began to feel myself attached to him. Layla did the worst by letting me go into heat. She knew it would trigger him and invade his senses that he won't be able to think straight. He would only think about me and only me. Not others. Just Me!"Stop touching me!" I almost yelled at him. "I know you are enjoying it. I could see it in y
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
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
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
