2023-02-02 00:07:28Arielle's POV
It was my fault anyways for waking up late like this, I looked through my wardrobe I saw that the only suitable things that I could wear for the occasion, it was a silver armless gown that I had already patched in some places because of how long I had worn it.
Leon would openly buy designer dresses and jewlries that cost a fortune for my sister while I drowned in wearing rags. I couldn't miss this occasion, I knew what awaited me if I did, Leon would practically bury me alive and if I said that I didn't have anything suitable for me to wear, he’ll have my head on a silver platter designed with fruits for breakfast. I just did a little makeup that wasn’t flawless and put on the dress.
I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, everything seemed to be wrong.
Was I really as ugly as he said?
What did I have to do for him to look at me the way he looked at my sister to desire me as much as he desired her and even more?Do I have to change the color of my hair? Do I have to be everything Zoey is?
Suddenly I laughed silently but sympathetically at myself, I couldn't even get him to stand staying in the same space as me and talk less of him actually liking me.
He had been treating me like this ever since we got married. What would change it? Nothing, I didn't see any trace in his eyes when he looked at me, just hatred and condemnation.
I soon was so lost in my day dreaming that when I snapped out of it and my eyes darted to the clock, I realized that time was truly against me .
Leon was no way to be found when I stepped out the time that I stepped out, he was gone. I didn't even know why I was surprised but it still didn’t stop that sharp pain from piercing my heart, I knew that somebody had to go and attend to the guest but it still hurt.
But what was worse was the moment I stepped into the gallery nobody even acted as if I existed.
It was almost as if I was less significant than the glasses of wine that were being held by the waiters that were moving around.
I spotted my husband and saw him talking to the other Alphas, he was delicately holding a glass of wine in one hand and gesturing with the other a smile on his face and the suit that he was wearing fitted him so much.
He was handsome.
Ever since we were just kids I always thought that he was the most handsome man whenever he was in any room, just looking at him It was a good vision for sore eyes, especially whenever he smiled. One would think he was a sweetheart, if only they knew
Yet I couldn’t help but wish that he would smile at me the way he smiled at strangers and guests that he probably wouldn't see for several more months until another occasion called for it.
Seeing him like that told me that I wasn't supposed to be sulking around, I was still Luna and I needed to act like it so I found a group and decided to interact with them.
The moment I joined in the conversation with three other women that were Lunas, they all looked at me as if they had been shocked that I was capable of speaking or something like that because all of them were immediately rendered speechless. What was wrong? I hadn’t even said anything that was not worth saying.
The brunette in the middle finally spoke.
"Did any of the order for drinks because I didn't…"
It was then that I realised that they had confused me for a waitress and of course why wouldn't they even though I was wearing the most expensive looking gown I had in my life,they could obviously see the patches that totally degraded it and made it look like a rag, the could see the worn out threads that had escaped from a few parts.
"Actually I came to greet you as the Luna of the Moon stone pack…"
To say that all of their jaws instantly fell to the floor was a huge understatement.
"But honestly we thought that she was the Luna…" one of the ladies said pointing in the direction that my eyes followed. At the moment my eyes landed on the imposter the orbs almost almost turned red in their sockets and my blood immediately began to simmer as well.
"I believe that you are a little confused that is not the Luna you see she is my sister,"
I explained smiling through gritted teeth.
The urge to stab Zoey was there.
"Well you'll have to forgive our confusion after all she walked in here with the Alpha and she's just well better dress than you…so it's only natural that we thought that she was the Luna,"
I couldn't believe that Zoey had been posing as me, and he then had even walked in with her? He had left me behind on purpose, he was embarrassed of me, he didn't come here to attend to any guests, he was trying to get away from me. There was only so much shame that a woman could take and I excused myself saying that I wanted to talk with my husband.
But before I could even see him, somebody stood in my path and when I looked up it was my sister.
"Zoey I don't want to talk to you right now," I said to her but she wasn't even listening to me as she was busy laughing her butt off.
"Oh my gosh what are you wearing?So rustic, you look like a slave” she snickered, it reminded me of her 15 year old self when she bullied me with her friends Stacey and Maddy on one field trip.
My fingers curled into fists.
"You can mock me as much as you want but that doesn't change the fact that I am still the Luna no matter how beautiful you are,"
This really hit her and she retaliated by saying that if it wasn't for her parents adopting me I would have probably died in a ditch or somewhere she didn't give two fucks about.
"I wouldn't!" I hissed at her and then suddenly I saw her hand raised to slap me and I blocked it grabbing her wrist and because I have the worst luck ever this was the very moment that Leon looked at the both of us and I saw how worried he looked…for my sister.
I backed away from her and then she immediately fell into his arms when he came. He looked at me, his eyes burning like a freshly lit fire.
"Honey I'm so happy you came, she was telling me that I had to change or she was going to strip me naked in front of everyone!"
Honey? She calls him honey now?
Without even asking for my side of the story my husband immediately declared in his heart that my sister must definitely be telling the truth and began to scold me in front of everyone like I was some foolish petulant child.
He didn't even care that important guests had stopped whatever they were doing and now looking at us, no the only thing that he cared about was that wicked sister of mine and as he was yelling at me like a lunatic my sister was smiling from ear-to-ear and then I pointed my finger at her trying to tell him that she was smiling and was totally okay.
But then he probably thought I wanted to hit her and shoved me away but instead of my body colliding with the floor somebody called me and I heard somebody else say.
"It's Scar,"

Second Chanced Mates Reality
My eyes had gone close by themselves, I couldn't believe how close that was, I looked up to see the person that had evidently saved me from that embarrassing fall and then my eyes were blessed with one of the most handsome werewolves that I've ever seen in my entire life. It was a miracle that my mouth didn't fall agape He was a whole piece of art, like he had just walked out from a Leonardo Da Vincci painting, the features of his face seemed to perfect, like it had to be from a great artist brush, as if that was not good enough, he gently helped me off to my feet as I thanked him profusely but he didn't respond with anything more than a nod and his face was completely expressionless so much so that I could not tell if he was upset that I had fallen in his way and he had to grab me and I was suddenly feeling self-conscious about myself but still thankful then his eyes came over to my husband and said in a monotone voice that was low and deep and velvety. Yet filled with so much comma

Arielle's pov Shame and guilt washed over me for being caught in that kind of compromising position with another man by my husband but it wasn't anything like that. I wanted to perish from embarrassment. "Leon please don't misunderstand the situation, I was about to fall and then he…" I tried to explain but my words wouldn't cooperate and Leon rudely ignored me. "I apologize for my wife's behaviour," my husband immediately said after interrupting me and I wonder what he was apologizing for. "... I'm sure that she found a way to pester you to come out here and has been bothering you since then, she is kinda loose and that's how she desperately craves attention from everyman” I couldn't believe what I was hearing right now. I had been viciously loyal to this man even though he treated me like trash for the past three years and now he was painting me out to look like some kind of attention seeking whore In front of the Lycan King! Scar was just looking at him, his face as blan

Leon wasn't even bluffing about not taking his eyes off me, he kept sending dark cold glares from where he was seated with other Alphas, glares that sent shivers down my spine, it made me want to cower under the table and hide or crawl in a cave and never come out. When I looked away and looked back at him one more time just to be sure, his lips moved and I regretted why I read his lips because he mouthed “Slut” with the most maniac glint on his face. Pain stabbed me. It felt like needles piercing every inch of my body and then they were going deeper and deeper until all the blood had turned to ice and I wanted nothing more than to curl up into a ball and hide again, that was all I could do only that this time, the urge was stronger. But I didn't, so instead of curling up into a fetal position and hiding away from my problems, I stared back at him wondering where I had ever gone wrong. The Lunas were either gossiping or whispering about something, some gave me looks of sympathy, a

“Hey?” He called after me. I shook my head. He had already gotten himself and I in trouble for trying to help me and I didn't want that. “Are you sure?” His gaze was intimidating, I swallowed hard, looking everywhere except his face. “I am taking a stroll “ I lied, my voice croaked. He gave me a blank stare that told that he knew I was lying. “Get in my car, I'll give you a ride?” it sounded more like a suggestion. I was getting more agitated without a reason. “Can you just go away and let me think!” I yelled with so much anger. If it surprised him, he didn't show it. He sighed nonchalantly. “Fine then, you can walk to your place alone. You don't owe me anything” he said and then disappeared in his car before I could say anything. I stared at the road, not knowing where to start walking now. I decided to follow the road until it ended and headed home. I couldn't feel my legs as they burned from exhaustion and my throat of thirst. I tried sneaking in quietly once I got home

I woke up at the same spot I had passed out only that the sign of Leon. I managed to drag myself to my room and made sure the door was fully locked. I was ashamed of my reflection in the mirror, my eyes were puffy and red, red angry marks marred my neck, and blood stains were on around my nose and mouth, peeling the dress off my skin, purple circles had graced it, some were even reddish purple. I had my hand over my mouth to suppress my sobs. I looked like a train had run over me. I didn't even do anything wrong! My wolf felt angry yet exhausted. I wouldn't let it act. I loved Leon and he loved me too. At least used to. Or maybe that was what I thought. I sat on the bed, ignoring the pain that accompanied I sat on the bed, ignoring the pain that accompanied the movement, and cried silently for hours. I finally fell asleep around 5 am, the sheets were still damp. My wolf's anger had been reduced to sadness and exhaustion when I woke up, the migraine and dizziness were a little pri

It was only a dream. I couldn't tell if that was a good dream or bad one but it felt so real.Where did I see those eyes? I know I had seen them somewhere, who was that man?The dream haunted my mind, more like those eyes, I hated that I couldn't seem to remember anything and it felt like a puzzle.When I stepped out, there was no sign of Zoey and Leon and I have never felt so relieved.I felt suffocated with them.I wondered what kind of sister Zoey was, i’d never do that to her, not for any reason. But she didn’t fail to remind me of how much I didn’t belong, how much our parents- her parents saved me, of course they did, I was grateful for that but sometimes I couldn’t help but think of my real family, I couldn’t remember anything about them. Were they looking for me? Did they think of me? I wondered if I looked like my mom or dad. Who had the red hair amongst them and the ivory skin or the large blue eyes. I didn’t consider myself pretty, even if I ever did, Zoey and Leon had succ

How could they do this to me?This hurt was different from all the ones I have felt, it was tearing me apart and I couldn’t point where it hurt the most between my physical, mental and emotional state.I ran inside my room, the bed was in a mess and I fought the urge to puke. Grabbing the sheets, I threw it at the farthest end of the room, ignoring the pain that jolted through me. I didn’t know what came over me but I remember is that I was yelling and throwing things, I even broke my vanity mirror with my old heels, I tore the pillow and it feathers flew everywhere, I kept throwing things, anything I could find.I didn’t even know someone had walked in until I felt the person’s arms around me.“Your grace?” Eleanor called out.I ignored her.“Your grace?” This time she held my hands to prevent me from throwing any other thing.“What is it? Leave me alone!”

“What are you doing?” he almost growled, and for the first time in my life I didn't seem scared or surprised.I didn't respond.“What are wearing? You like a fucking slut, must you throw yourself on any male because you've been starved of attention?” He continued.Ian looked between Leon and I over and over again, raising his hands up in a defeated sign, he left.“You don't tell me who to talk to Leon.” I said calmly, I don't know where the confidence was coming from and it seemed to surprise him to because his steel blue eyes were twice the size of mine.“I think I do and if you want to be a slut, do it somewhere private, don't embarrass me.” He screamed. We were beginning to gather attention but I didn't care, Leon wasn't going to disrespect me like that today, not after what he did.“That is so rich coming from you. Last time I checked you were sticking your tongue down my sister's throat and your fingers in-between her legs!” I retorted fiercely.The crowd gasped. All eyes turned

Second Chanced Mates The end
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
Second Chanced Mates Thought
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

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.

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
Second Chanced Mates Meeting
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
Second Chanced Mates Slapped
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
Second Chanced Mates Deserved
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?
