Arielle's POVWhen we got back home, the garden had been transformed into an almost magical fairy tale with white lights strung around, and flowers and plants all over the place. It was already dark and the darkness enhanced its beauty. The air smelled of roses and nature.Everyone seemed busy as usual, Scar's mother was screaming on the phone over some delivery that had not arrived, yelling threats. Alfred had run to Scar whispering something and Scar followed him immediately. I managed to make it past Scar's mother without attracting her wrath on me- it would have been worse especially when she was transferring aggression. I collapsed on the bed immediately after I got rid of my flip-flops at the corner of the room. I shuddered at the thought of Zoey and Leon being in the same room as me.Sheliah was alert and involuntarily my claws popped out, surprising me as if they were ready to attack someone, like a predato
Arielle’s POVScar had sent someone over for my makeup that evening. I cried so hard that the make-up artist thought she had offended me and was stuck apologizing.But she had done nothing to me.Scar did the simplest things for me, the simple things that barely came easily for me. A few months back I couldn't boast of three or five nice dresses, I never got any special treatment before any event, in fact, I was always left behind, I didn't always look like this, I wasn't this happy. I had always begged to be loved, begged to feel wanted, and desired. I knew I should stop thinking this way, I had changed since I met Scar, even if he didn't love me back, even if he was doing some of these nice things for the baby, he never treated me like I was insignificant.That was something I hadn't gotten used to and I realized that being around someone who treats you like this has been helping me. I
Scar's POV“Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you all for honoring my invitation tonight, it means a lot to me, and it would have meant a lot to my father too. Unfortunately, he is no more. This has always been his dream- our dream to see us Lycans united together, with no bad blood, no hatred, and no fear...and we achieved this. Tonight marks the beginning of a new dawn, tonight marks the beginning of a new era. And I can only hope that the people here are eager to unite themselves with each other, as I am. I want to thank the Alphas and fellow Kings, we wouldn't all be here without your consent. So cheers to a new beginning - to all of us”Everyone raised their glass filled with wine in celebration but my eyes were fixed on the beautiful red-haired that had her eyes fixed on me as she clapped and cheered with the crowd.My biggest fan.Arielle.Mother had tears in her eyes when I was walking
Arielle's POVIt felt as If I couldn't breathe, as if the walls of this room were closing in on me . There were so many emotions going through me; pain, sadness, anger and jealousy, none of it was good.Why?Why did I feel this way?I closed my eyes, trying to focus on the rhythm of my heartbeat, hoping that the steady sound could calm me.But it did not.I should have known, but I allowed myself to dream too much. Men like Scar were not attracted to women like me, I had always known. It didn't stop me from crying, it felt like being with Leon all over again.“Arielle? open the door please” his voice sounded distant as if it was coming from underwater.I said nothing.“Please” he pleaded. “Please, just listen to me, talk to me”Still, no response.“Please! Just listen to me for a minute and then you'll deci
Scar's POV“Don't you think it's better it happened that way?” Diane had the most devilish smile on her face.I saw red.How did I ever love this woman in the first place?I matched down to where she stood with fury. “If I hear one more word from you, I'll tear out your throat” My claws clattered and I saw the horror that flashed across her face as I snarled at her menacingly. “That's more like it, you little bitch” I seethed.Her eyes widened in fear at my expression.I went after Arielle. Her door was locked. How was she able to move so fast? I heard her sniffling from inside. It was a weak sound that tore at my chest painfully.I had messed up really badly and I hated myself.“Arielle? open the door please” I begged her.I could tell she stopped moving and sniffling, I couldn't hear a thing.She said nothing.“Please” I pleaded. “Please, just listen to me, talk to me” I was getting impatient, growing desperate Still, I got no response.“Please! Just listen to me for a minute and
Arielle's POVThe evening spent with Luisa was more therapeutic than I thought, somehow Luisa had noticed that I was in a bad mood and tried to cheer me up, she even let me have candies, chocolate candies, which tasted like they were made with love, of course, they were made from her love or given from love. Exhausted from our whole talk and from eating a lot of candies, I returned to my room and slept off without thinking of Scar. Okay, so maybe I was lying because I had lost count of how many times I thought about him, lost count of the number of times I yearned for his presence. When I woke up in the middle of the night to pee and was surprised to see him sitting on the armless chair, he was snoring slightly on the armless chair wooden chair and my heart swollen and broke at the sight. How was he comfortable with sleeping in that chair, his body barely fitted in and without wasting any more I picked up a duvet and covered him gentl
Scar’s POV“I can bear to look you in the eyes, I just don't want to” Those words rang in my ears.I clenched my teeth angrily. I shouldn't have said anything at all, I should just forget everything and let her do whatever she wanted. But I couldn't help myself. I couldn't stop myself from wanting more than what was given to me.That was exactly why I was so furious about this whole situation. “Where are you going?” her eyes finally moved from the road to my face after I took another turn.“We are not going home right away,” I told her.“Why?” she howled.“There is a new restaurant I want us to try”“I don't want to go to any restaurant, I want to go back home” she whined.“Why are you being stubborn?” I asked her.“Why are you being inconsiderate?” She turned around, so I didn't see her face but I could tell by her voice that she was pouting. “Do you want to eat or not?” I asked her.“No, I don't want to” At that moment her stomach growled causing her face to heat up. I heard he
Arielle's POVHe ripped the nightdress, throwing it somewhere on the ground before turning back to me, his green eyes filled with desire and lust.He lowered himself to hover over me, placing his hands on either side of me on the bed.“Come on” I muttered impatiently.Without breaking eye contact he pressed forward, capturing my lips in a passionate kiss, the kiss consuming us completely, it felt right, it felt amazing, the feeling was indescribable.His tongue pushed itself deep into my mouth, exploring mine greedily, licking every inch and sucking at it fiercely.His hand slid them upwards and touched my bare bottom, sending chills and shivers down my spine as he slowly traced the sensitive area with the tip of his tongue. His thumb rubbed gently over the spot, his finger tracing around the circumference of the sensitive area.My entire body was trembling violently. He pulled away from the kis
132. As the pack members interacted with her, laughter and shared moments became more frequent. Their affable interactions painted a portrait of unity and harmony, at least on the surface. But I couldn't shake the nagging suspicion that something deeper was at play. The easy camaraderie that had developed within days of her arrival raised alarm bells within me, stirring a sense of unease that refused to be ignored. Zoey's comfort within my home only compounded my discomfort. The boundaries between guest and intruder seemed to blur, and I found myself grappling with the strangeness of her being present in the spaces that were once solely mine. Each glance, each shared laugh, each gesture of camaraderie felt like an intrusion into the life I had carefully built for myself. My growing unease was heightened by the subtle, lingering looks she exchanged with Scar. His presence had always been a source of strength and comfort, a connection I held dear. But now, as my sister's gaz
After the twins were born, it felt like my position within the pack had shifted and expanded. The love and support I received from everyone made me realize that I had truly found my family. Those days were a whirlwind of emotions and new experiences, as I embraced my role as a mother and reveled in the newfound connections around me. But amidst the bustling days, there came a moment of serenity. I found myself in a garden near my dwelling, seeking solace and a chance to gather my thoughts. The rustling leaves and the gentle breeze created a comforting atmosphere, allowing me to momentarily escape the demands of pack life. Yet, that tranquility was unexpectedly shattered when a guard approached me with urgency. He explained that a woman had arrived, specifically requesting an audience with me. "I apologize for intruding upon your moment of peace, Arielle," he said, his tone respectful yet concerned. I offered a reassuring smile, understanding the responsibilities that c
Arielle’s POVMy mind was swirling with so many emotions and thoughts that it was difficult to focus on anything. I couldn't believe what just happened. Scar had just gotten tortured, and by these people, for no reason and because of me.Suddenly he began to struggle and fight against his captors, trying to get loose.But there was something going inside of me and I couldn't control it. My claws were beginning to sprout and spread across my knuckles and forearms. I watched with fascination as my nails elongated into sharp little daggers and sharp white tips protruded out. My skin started turning into something I didn't recognize and I felt myself growl, growling angrily and there was a rush of energy- an aggressive rush of energy flowing through me .I felt as if I were ready to burst at any moment. A dark storm cloud was brewing inside of me and it felt completely natural to unleash it now.“ST
Arielle’s POVScar was bleeding, the rope digging into my flesh was also making me bleed and I felt so weak , the blood loss was taking too long but the adrenaline rush was keeping the pain at bay, the fear at bay. When he took his final step towards me, I thought for certain that he was going to kill me right then and there and it would've been okay but not with Scar lying on the ground in the pool of his blood like that.He had put up a good fight but was no match for this man who was a master of sorcery and whose strength and speed were unimaginable.After he was done with Scar, he turned to me.“Now that you know that no one else is coming to your rescue, can we continue from where we stopped?” he had blood all over his face and sick grin he wore made me shiver and the feeling of unease in my stomach didn't disappear. ‘No one else is coming to your rescue...’ My breath caught as he walked towards me again, his gaze never leaving my face which was slowly becoming more drained b
Arielle's POVFenris threw me into the a room that looked like a dungeon and I heard the door slam shut with a bang as the heavy steel bar slammed into place behind my back. I was alone in the darkness for the first time in days. It was an unappealing, dark room that smelled like urine and sweat and fear.Everything was pitch black.“Please let me out of here” I turned immediately banging at the door . The bars were thick metal bolted together, but it was no use - they wouldn’t budge. They couldn’t be more secure anywhere else. “Let me go! Let me go… please!”My voice grew louder and my heart pounded in my chest as I banged frantically against my cage. It echoed around in my head making my headache worse. “Why… why are you doing this to me?” I felt tears prickling at the corners of my eyes. My throat tightened and my breath became shaky. I tried not to cry. But I couldn’t help myself. “Let me out…” I whimpered and sobbed quietly. Nothing, the only thing I got in return was the echo of
Scar’s POV I couldn't stay at the meeting with the constant blaring in my head, my wolf told me there was trouble, a big one, and that it was only natural for me to go check it out. If something was wrong at home, Arielle would have called me right? Someone would have called me yet, my heart didn't stop feeling like I'd been kicked by a mule. Something bad was going down. I couldn't continue with the meeting, so I took my leave. When I got home, everything looked normal on the outside, the guards looked in place and their scent remained strong in the air. I couldn't smell Arielle. I ran inside and still couldn't smell her but as I made my way through the hallway, there was Penelope, she was on the ground and coughing violently , as if someone had choked her or she had just bitten someone's arm off. The other guards tried to get her up, but it was no use. Her eyes rolled back and when her body went limp I ran to her, grabbed her and put her on my lap. She groaned softly and stirr
“I was supposed to be the one chosen to be Alpha! It was supposed to be me but your father snatched that opportunity from me and what else? He made me his assistant to mock me. Do you know what that meant? Do you know how embarrassing it was for me? I was the better fighter, the better everything!” He threw his arms out at the side, gesturing angrily to our surroundings. “Do you understand? No matter what I did, he never respected me! Not once!” He let out a bitter chuckle as if he was reliving a fond memory. Then suddenly his expression changed. His features became twisted with anger. The veins stood out along his neck, like cables connecting his rage to his brain. His face hardened, turning pale and menacing. I saw something dark appear at the edge of my peripheral vision. It started to grow bigger and larger until I couldn’t take my gaze off it. And in that moment it vanished! “Oh, how the people loved him! And your mother? She was supposed to be mine! He stole her from me too
Arielle’s POV The throbbing in my head woke me up, as if someone had slapped me across the face. The lights were so bright that I winced from where I was laying on the ground and tried to raise my hand to shield them. As soon as the light hit my closed eyelids, I knew the headache hadn’t just woken me up. It was starting again already. I tried not to breathe in too deeply or move. In the last few days of my pregnancy I had discovered that moving made me feel more nauseous. That, combined with this migraine made the nausea feel worse than the pain. I kept my eyes firmly closed. After a while, I opened them and tried to adjust them to the unfamiliar environment in front of me. Where was I? Where was Scar? As I tried to move, that sharp pain ran through my head again , forcing me back into a fetal position. This time I stayed still for several minutes, waiting to regain control over my body. When I felt steady enough, I carefully crawled up on my knees and then stood, swaying slight
Scar’s POVThat asshole had laid his fucking hands on my sister, something no one had ever done before and I wanted to hurt him so bad that my wolf growled in agreement and in anticipation of revenge - but not without the usual amount of pain he deserved. My hands connected with his face over and over again until his face was a swollen mass of red skin and he dropped like a rag doll into a pool of dark red blood. His body twitched slightly, but didn't stop moving as it began soaking into the dirt below him. Blood stained my white shirt, and splattered across my cheeks.“That's enough! STOP!” Alfred's loud voice echoed through the garden, he was the only one among the staff who was permitted to call me by my name.I turned to him still panting, but no longer in the mood for more violence. He looked angry, but mostly just scared.“Stay here with him” I ordered before pulling Penelope who was now sobbing hysterically out of the garden enough not to hurt her wrist.“Can you quit sobbing?
