Ethan’s POV

I was annoyed with Layla after she spilled the drink on Ariah.

I had noticed Layla's movements from the corner of my eyes while I had been talking to Lowell, it didn't look like a mistake to me, that was what was so annoying. I was about to rush towards Ariah, Lowell held me back firmly and he didn't make it look so awkward as he rushed to her instead. I just watched as he led her out of the room, Ariah cringing in embarrassment and keeping her head low.

I sighed when they were out of sight and looked at Layla scornfully, "That was a stupid mistake to make, Layla." I said.

She looked at me in surprise, "Are you scolding me because of that? It was a mistake, why would I spill a glass of wine on her purposely?" She asked.

You tell me! I thought that sure didn't look like a bloody mistake to me. "You don't spill drinks like that," I said firmly.

"Why are you making a fuss about it, Ethan? It's not like she's anyone important, is she?" Layla retorted.

    Layla’s POVDid I spill the drink on her on purpose? Yes, it was completely intentional.Now, I regretted it though, she came back even better, even more daring and I could feel my blood just boiling like it was on a pressure cooker. I was very surprised by how Ethan reacted to the incident with Ariah, for I second there I thought he was going to lurch at me or something. That made me very suspicious, certainly, something must be going on between the both of them. Their relationship was certainly something more than what met the eyes. For a lot of reasons, that triggered my anger and curiosity even more, I flared up at Ethan. That was one thing I tried to control, my temper and the way words flew out of my mouth. My thoughts just couldn't leave Ariah, what was her position in the pack? She seemed to be someone very important, she showed up at the feast at my pack and now she was here. Although I hadn't caught sight of her at the coronation, she just had escaped my eyes then. If she

    Ariah’s POVOh, my fucking goodness! There were goosebumps all over my skin as I walked away with Lowell thankfully. I was greatly shaken by that encounter with Layla, she was so close! She asked only the questions I dreaded to hear, she asked all the questions that could ruin me completely! I was shaken so badly that I couldn't find my tongue for a long time. It was a cause to panic, instantly I knew that she was on to me, Layla was out to fret out the truth about me. Immediately, she had noted me as a threat to her and I knew I needed to be more careful with the way I went about things. My mind was troubled, my heart was racing crazily and my nerves were boiling with tension. "You need to relax, Ariah, those are questions any lady would ask," Leia said. "Any lady?" I asked. "You've got to be kidding, Leia!" "Did you see the way Ethan almost reacted when she spilled that wine on you? She must have taken note of it, she's just curious, nothing more." Leia said and the calm note

    Ariah’s POVThe sun's rays penetrate through the windows and perched steadily on my eyebrows, jeering me out of the uneasy sleep with a sting in my eyelids. "Ugh!" I groaned, but there was worse to come for this very day than the annoying rays of the sun. I woke up with a sour taste in my mouth and my eyes were burning with laziness. What kind of a start to the day was this? I wasn't sure I had slept up to two hours, time had moved so fast, but in reality, I had slept for almost ten hours. I felt so exhausted and weak and what made it more dreadful was waking up to the realization that Layla was now Ethan's Luna. I clasped my head in my hands as my fingers ran through my hair, what a fucking occurrence! The day was going to be a miserable one, I could already see it. Let's just call it the first day of hell, the first out of many. By hell, I meant Layla's reign as queen, it was going to be chaotic and all those who had cheered for her would surely regret their actions. It wasn'

    Ariah’s POVShe was certainly a control freak, a werewolf trying to establish such powers in a Lycan pack was certainly one of the most absurd things I had ever seen.I just watched, gasping from time to time and just staring down in disbelief, What kind of a woman was she? It was at this moment that I got the feeling that I was indeed playing with fire, Layla was terrifying. Her words and the cold way she said them were enough to send a chill running up one's spine. Behind that beautiful face was a devilish creature that only wanted to see others in pain as long as she was satisfied.I saw Ethan coming long before anyone else did and that was the first time I breathed a sigh of relief, at least he was going to put an end to this madness, even though it was temporary. Layla was the last person to be aware of Ethan's presence mostly because her back was to him. There was a confused frown on Ethan's face as he stared at the scene, "What's going on?" He asked, staring quizzically at L

    Ethan’s POV That feeling of waking up knowing that my relationship status had changed, I didn't like it one bit.I didn't know what it was that had made Layla gather all the maids in the pack house, but from the look on their faces, I knew Layla had been lying to me. They looked terrified and the look in Sally's eyes when she was chosen as Layla's maid was chilling, it was as if she had just been selected as a slaughtered sheep. Terror, her eyes had been filled with absolute terror, and that made my curiosity grow even more but I didn't question it yet. When it was just Layla and me, I turned and said, "You sure have a terrifying way of introducing yourself to people, those maids looked like they just came out of a horror movie that didn't sit well with them." She glared at me, "You don't have to worry about that, I'll get along with them just fine." She replied curtly. "Lycan packs aren't werewolf packs, Layla, you need to be careful of the way you treat those under you here,

    Ethan’s POV I needed to see Ariah, but not with everyone around and watching, privately.I couldn't have another woman but her and the urge in me was becoming intense by the second. I walked into the pack mansion with my hands thrust deep into my pockets and a serious look on my face. I walked up the stairs, straight to Ariah's room and rapped on the door with my knuckles. I knocked impatiently again and she flung open the door. "What is the matter…" Her voice trailed off and her eyes became warm and alert at the same time. "Ethan? What are you doing here?" She asked. "Get dressed, Ariah, wear anything simple, preferably a short dress," I said hoarsely and her confused eyes stared at my intense face. "Is there a problem, Ethan?" She asked worriedly.I shook my head impatiently, "No, don't ask questions now, Ariah, be down in the next twenty minutes." I replied, kissed her on the forehead, then walked to my room.There was no way I could get the privacy I wanted with Ariah here, n

    Ethan’s POVI met Ariah in the living room, she managed to look dashing and adorable each time so effortlessly. I walked towards her and took her hand in mine without saying a word. I led her out of the house and took the key from the chauffeur. "Take the day off," I said to him and he bowed with a grateful smile on his face. "Get in, Ariah."I drove the car out of the driveway and cruised slowly along the way to the pack office. She stared at me the whole time and I could tell she was itching to ask me a lot of questions. "You can talk," I said."Where are we going, Ethan?" She asked immediately. "And what about Layla?" "We're going to the pack office to work on some things, that's all," I replied, staring ahead. "You're lying." She said with a frown."Yes, I am," I said and stopped the car in front of Lowell's lovely duplex. "I'll be right back," I said. Her eyes widened, "No Ethan!" She said sharply as if she was scared of something morphing out of nowhere to attack her. "Don

    Ariah’s POVI had been sitting comfortably on a couch when the most obscene thing happened.A lady ran down the stairs, she was almost completely naked and she scrambled into her clothes as she ran. I stared at her awkwardly and she stopped when she saw me, then bowed with an embarrassing look and ran out of the house. The first thing that occurred to my mind was how agitated the maid who had welcomed Ethan and I had been, she had probably been trying to cover up for Lowell's sexcapade. I smiled to myself as I sat there. Lowell was such an innocent-looking guy, but he had an insatiable sexual urge, that was the conclusion about him I had come to. About fifteen minutes later, Ethan walked down the stairs and Lowell came down two minutes later. He stared at me, then back at Ethan, and said, "Oh, this is why you tried to stop her from running down the stairs." He said with a grim look and slapped a palm to his forehead. I bowed to him slightly, "Hey Lowell." "Ariah, what a plea

    Ariah’s POV Two weeks later, we still had not heard anything about Layla or how she managed to escape, but then it wasn't about her anymore. The Blue Moon pack had been conquered and merged into Ethan's pack, but then that wasn't even all. The Lycans were dominating over the werewolves and Ethan was at the forefront of it all. There was going to be a rule implemented soon that would see a supreme ruler ruling over both the Lycan City and the Werewolf City. One faithful day when I was in the master bedroom of the pack house, Ethan walked in with a bright smile on his face. It was the normal time he came back from the pack office in the evening, but this time just seemed different. "Guess what?" He asked."Hmm…" I looked at the ceiling as I pretended to be in deep thought. "You're still on cloud nine after the sex we had last night?" I asked. He smirked, "Very close, but no." He laughed softly. "It's something way bigger than that. The elders want to meet with you and me in th

    Ariah’s POV "Make up your mind, Ariah. We don't have the time for you to ponder." He urged quickly. I stared at Lowell, I could bet that James was going to kill him if I didn't act quickly. "One…two…it's a three count." He smirked. I set myself and kicked him between the legs with all the strength I could muster and his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. He let out a loud, sharp cry and the next moment, he was on the ground, groaning in pain. His forehead bulged with veins and his face turned red completely. "You fucking bitch!" He yelled.I kicked him hard in the stomach and rushed towards Lowell. He was bleeding from his nose and the edges of his lips. "Lowell! Lowell! Are you okay?" I asked hysterically as I helped him into a more comfortable and less awkward position. He groaned slightly, "I'm…I'm okay…Come on, help me up." He said in a low, breaking voice. I grabbed his arm and heaved him up with surprising strength. He staggered and then dropped to one knee.

    Ariah’s POV Ethan also stopped by my side abruptly as he stared ahead. We were in the middle of the bloodiest battle I've seen in a while and we were just standing there like statues. "Either I'm blind or that's Layla standing by James's side," I said in a shaky voice.I was somewhat shocked, she still wasn't remorseful, even after what had happened, Layla still wanted to get at me. "That's her alright," Ethan said. "Now I wonder why I'm even surprised."Of course, I should have known that she was the one who told James my whereabouts from the moment Lowell walked in with that letter. What a fucking snake! James walked towards us with a wicked snarl on his face and said, "Well, well, well. I'm sure you got my letter, instead of waiting for me to come at you, you struck first. Brilliant!" He exclaimed in a loud voice. "I'd have attacked either way," Ethan said calmly.Having Ethan and James in the same place and at the same time was quite unsettling. Not for once did I envisi

    Ariah's POV I was really tense by the time the next morning came. The previous night, before Lowell's interruption, I was pretty sure that Ethan and I were going to have sex. The moment was there, everything was perfect, but then, things weren't just the same anymore. I became restless after that letter, I started to see real danger for Ethan. Even though he was a Lycan and Lycans were much more dangerous than werewolves, I was still very anxious. James was cunning, I wanted him to pay for all he did to me, but I didn't want anything to happen to Ethan in the process. I heard a noise outside the window and with a thumping heart, I quickly rushed to it and peered out into the dark. My eyes took some time to adapt, but finally, I started to see and make out the figures below. I gasped.I couldn't even count them! All of a sudden, I felt an overpowering presence behind me. One that gave me comfort, one that made me feel safe. I didn't have to turn to see who it was, Ethan towered b

    Ethan's POV Lowell was excited as he stormed into my study the next day with a huge smile on his face. "The war's over! The bloody war's over, Ethan! You fucking genius! You did it!" He exclaimed with excitement, he was beyond himself with joy. The edges of my lips curled into a narrow smile, then my face went serious again. "How?" "Layla's father called a meeting yesterday evening with all the Alphas of the werewolf packs and guess what? They have called off any hint of a war. Sheesh! I can finally breathe and so can you!" He replied and laughed. "Hmm."He frowned at me, "Hmm? Hmm? That's all you have to say about this? Hmm?" He asked. "What else do you expect me to say? I saw it coming." I replied imperiously and he smirked. "I have something to take care of, Lowell and I don't know if you'll come with me or not," I said and his face went serious. "Someone has been messing with Ariah in all the wrong ways and I intend to take care of that." "But I thought you had alread

    Layla’s POV "You blew it."That was all my father said when we got back to our pack. The look of disappointment and visible exhaustion on his face genuinely made me feel bad for him. "You're my only daughter, Layla." He said as we walked into the living room.I trailed behind him recently, hoping he wouldn't turn to look at me as he glared up but he eventually did and I had nowhere else to turn but to look straight at him. "You had everything you needed right from when you were young. So what the hell went wrong, Layla? What? How did you turn into this?" He asked so many questions at once that I wasn't sure he wanted me to reply. "Father-” I called but he cut me off harshly. "Not a fucking word, Layla!" He roared, stunning me to silence immediately. "Why do you have that look on your face? Why do you have that look in your eyes? Where's the bloody remorse? Don't you feel bad for the people who died along the way just for you to fulfill your goals?" I swallowed my words, but I

    Ariah’s POV I welcomed the idea, I needed to clear my head because everything that had happened there happened so damn fast! We got into the car and didn't say a word until the chauffeur got the engine rolling. He looked at me and suddenly his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me to him. Our faces were almost touching and the full weight of my breasts pressed against his heavy chest.I wondered if he could hear the loud thumping of my quick-beating heart. "Why didn't you tell me that was going to happen?" I asked finally. "You left me so dumbfounded!" He grinned, "I think the only person who wasn't left dumbfounded in that room was Lowell." He remarked. "I wanted it to be a surprise." "Well, heck yeah it was!" I exclaimed, still not able to come to terms with the fact that there was a future in store for me and Ethan. "I still can't believe it," I said slowly. He arched an eyebrow at me, "Believe what?" He asked, pulling me closer so that my forehead rested on his and our

    Ariah’s POVI was so surprised to see him that I didn't know when I lost grip of the towel around my body. I gasped and was about to pick up the towel when his eyes stopped me. The way he looked at me set my body on fire and I wasn't sure if I wanted to cover up my nakedness anymore. His eyes traced over my body, taking their time on each of my features until they finally looked into my eyes again. That was when I snapped out of it and quickly picked up the towel and covered myself. My cheeks blotched red with embarrassment, but there was a little tickle of delight in my tummy. He blinked severally and looked away. "Uhm…try something called knocking next time?" I said mockingly as I walked to the wardrobe. "You should handle your towel better, you can't keep dropping things." He replied, his voice teasing me rather than scolding me.I hid a smile as I dressed up, although I didn't look at him, I knew his eyes were glued to me the whole time. When I slipped on a sky-blue gown that

    Ethan’s POV Her entire body was trembling as she stood at the door, staring at us. This wasn't the Layla I knew, she looked hideous, and this was the first time I had ever seen her shed tears. "Ethan…" She called softly and shut her eyes tightly as the tears poured out. "Can we talk for a short while, just me and you, before you do anything else?"I exchanged glances with her father, and although I didn't want to talk to her, I still granted her this last wish. "Alright," I said huskily and her father rose slowly to his feet. He hugged and kissed her forehead on his way out and closed the door gently behind him. "There isn't much to say, Layla," I said as she walked to the chair slowly. "I know." She said, "You don't have much to say to me but you have a lot to hear, Ethan. There's no use saying I'm sorry," She sniffled. "It was all for you…and I would keep saying that the biggest regret of my life was that you didn't end up falling in love with me, even when I had gotten
