ArianaFew minutes after he marked me, my body started changing from the inside, at first it was becoming something I couldn't explain. The feeling was there. "What's going on?" There, the pain got invited in. "Is your body rejecting the mark?" "No…" I groaned. "My body is on fire. If it was rejecting the mark, the pain would be worse but this is something different." I managed to say. The words were too much and heavy that I couldn't form any of them"Thank Goodness.""What the hell Darius?" He quickly apologised as the burning sensation was worse. The bones in my feet and my hands started to break off first. I stared at him, worried. "You are shifting." He was surprised. He quickly held me as my Jones, began to break more than usual. In no time it was more than over. I stared at Darius through the eyes of my wolf. I couldn't speak but I could hear him. I could hear everything, my visions and senses were more than heightened. There was too much noise. "I haven't seen such a b
ArianaI was shocked that my wolf was in communication with me, not everyone gets to use that opportunity to their advantage. Not everyone gets to see that opportunity to be in contact with their other half. I was scared out of my mind but still, everything was not making sense. I kept thinking about what kind of power would I be harnessing that my wolf decided to show itself now. Now that I had come to the terms that I might really be cursed. Maybe something was wrong with me during birth and I had stayed away from hope. I knew and was very certain nothing was going to happen. I lost my friendships and relationships because of it."But you found the one that stayed. You have Darius and you have no idea how I wanted you to find true love before I show myself. There were times I tried to force myself out but your body was too weak. Even after the training, the training you tried to get through forced me out. Even if it worked, your body had to get ready for what was coming." She explai
Ariana"What do you mean by dark magic?" I asked in fear. Darius was studying me as he went through the file. I had no idea what was going through his mind but I was panicking."The panic you feel is your body trying to snap when it introduces a new level of stress. In this case, the stress of not knowing. It will eat you up if you keep it up." He tried to calm me."Let's just find out what that is," I said, breathing through every word he was trying to say to me. "In one of the research I made, it showed that you have a hidden power. Phantom wolves kinda seem to be dormant but most of them only end up having an unusual power of strength sometimes strength. These powers are sometimes the vessels to fuel a very dark power which means whoever wants a great immense power needs dark magic to do so. It happens by sacrificing a phantom wolf. It shows that they have been extinct for ages. If anyone caught wind of you being a phantom wolf, you might be in danger."Just when we are out of on
Ariana"You don't even know who I am and you want to take my life." I confronted them. Immediately I regretted leaving the house with so much anger. Now I couldn't go back because it was going to place this man in danger. They were holding a knife still in the whole ritual mode. "Your name is Ariana and you have two growing kids who are nothing of interest to us but you are. Like I said, you are a rare breed." One of them lunged at me, but I snapped his neck before he could say another word. There were not too many, yet the tattoo on their arm made them familiar. Where have I met these ones before? I asked myself because of the way they acted, it seemed that they knew me. The others ran away but I managed to capture one, who had already taken poison. "Who sent you?" He was laughing and convulsing at the same time. There was nothing I could do. He started spilling blood before he finally let go. I signed. Who are these people loyal to that they were willing to sacrifice their l
ArianaI didn't mind if I was taken, I just wanted my children to be safe. I kept Cornering them but they were all in a circle. They were gruff men who had probably not showered in days. "The children have nothing to do with this." One of them had long blonde hair that was neatly combed backward. He was the only one that had a different energy among them. The rest had a rather chaotic energy. It was in the way they sneered, growled, and licked their fans disgustingly. The one holding Adrain was a different breed too. He seemed to be calm and collected. I tried to study their behavior if I was truly going to have a chance with them. Adrianna was oddly calm and Her brother on the other hand was calling on me every five minutes. "Yes, the children have everything to do with this. They are your witness and whether you like it or not it was the only way to let you get your guard down." He started. "What were you thinking when you fell right into the hands of people who are going to kill
Darius This act of revenge was going to get the end of her and I was worried. I was worried about the depth of her strength and how deeply it might consume her without leaving anything for her. I had helped her pick the pup pieces of her pain before and it was not funny. Declaring war was only going to make things worse. I just wanted her to know that things might not be as rosy when war is involved. It was already dawn a we have managed to clear out the lawn free from all dead bodies. We had buried them in the woods and hopefully, they rot there until the others wanted to know when to carry their dead. I was scared out of my mind there was nothing more fearful than when the love of my life and my beautiful kids were in danger. I sighed after putting the kids to bed. Adrian kept asking questions and I had tried to reduce the answers to the bare minimum.Aria was working on her laptop like nothing ever happened. "Sooner or later you will have to talk about what happened here.""Wh
DianaSix months priorLife has been hectic recently but it was good considering that I couldn't deprive myself of good sex. There was absolutely nothing more satisfying than that good feeling. Everything has been hectic, from trying to take care of that bitch to always seeing through every engagement the pack has. Even with the thriving school, as a pack we were really struggling and that often means that our business was not doing well. I also had to think about that coupled with the power I was already having at the pack.To take the edge off, I just wanted this guy who happened to be laying beside me. Not just that I couldn't just get the sex he usually gives me from anywhere. It all felt good. I am not one to pass off something good because of how demoralising it could be. I am not one with morals and I could understand that. Because I just don't like being chained down so many times that could eat me up in a second.It was said that girls without their mothers either end up as w
DamienThere were a lot of changes that I wasn't aware of. Throughout all these there is unrest in the pack. I do not know how to tame them again than I used to..it was clear that everything was falling apart. My kind have been wandering on it owns. The only image I could think of was that of Ariana's. Nothing else mattered. I needed Diana for the strength of the pack but the pack was still falling apart. There was absolutely nothing I hadn't tried to try to make living quite easy for them. Darius was right. There would be a time where I wouldn't be able to buy their loyalty any more. This was not the way my father intended for us to rule the pack. The only person that had helped me hold the pack together went his own way with my mate. I just couldn't think straight. "Damien!" I snapped out of my thoughts. I stared at them knowing just how much, I wandered far into my mind without even trying to listen to what they had to say. The investors were here to decide if they have to pull
Chapter 152DamienThere were a lot of things that went through my mind as we were about to take the bold steps. I was going to take over my pack from that bitch. It was the best decision I had to make. It has been a week since Ariana had killed her step mom, it was a wonder how, it still wasn't obvious. Deep down I wished the baby was mine but as nature would have it I screwed up and I would be damned if she even considered me at all. We finally raided the pack and Diana was waiting for us. It felt like she knew we were coming. She had a smirk on her face.“I was wondering when you were coming back to me my love.” She tried to come closer but I already took two steps back, disgusted. “Take another step towards me and that would be the last you will ever take.” She laughed. “You have always acted tough. I guess that's why I was so attracted to you for so long. My heart feels pain knowing that you left in such an abrupt manner. I would take it like you are here to give me what I wa
Chapter 151ArianaDarius was curious about this new found power. At the same time he was worried sick about how it might affect my baby. Damien was the one soliciting for my breakthrough with this. I didn't know if he was excited but I couldn't quite catch his expression. I was more concerned about the bitter pain that came from the little sharp pain from my Belly.“If you are not up for this, you can stop.” “No.”“If she wants to continue, let her. Your overprotectiveness might not lead us anywhere.” Damien snapped at his brother but he ignored him. They placed an edible plant in front of me. “You just have to focus on this plant and let's see what can come off it.”I focused my energy on it but nothing happened the first time. “What do you want?” Arya asked me.“I just want comfort and good food. I just want a good meal and a warm Bed to sleep in.” I told her. “Then focus on that. Forget the plant. Breathe in and out. Then watch your power unfold.” I was already locked in my m
Chapter 150ArianaBefore I could get back from bring Darius, the whole land and vegetation was on fire. It was no brainer to not know who was behind the whole thing. It was clear just how much we were being hated. They just wanted us out of existence. I had no doubt that Diana was in too for the last of the raid. We just haven't seen her. I would normally go through the wild and fighting them with my last breath but there was no time to be reckless,I had to think of my babies. “Where is Damien and the kids?” He asked me, holding me close. “He is with kids.in the bunker. Has everyone else reached safety?” “Yes. The women and children are safe. The army is ready to make sure that we are safe. We have to stay away from the pack. It is what's best.” I shook my head. This was not how it was supposed to be but it was what's right. “We just have to look for a way to fend for ourselves “It's been two weeks since the attacks have been worse. There was nothing I could do but to protect m
Chapter 149DamienWhen she said that there was a level of hurt that I dissociated myself from. I had no choice than to move away from her when I needed to. It felt like my breath was clogged and it took really hard work to make sure that I did nothing to think about her again. It was difficult but I would be a fool to disrupt all that she had. My wolf was restless and he was in as much pain as I was. The children ran towards Darius. Hugging him. It was the relationship that they had in between and I hated him for it. There was resentment inside my mind. I keep wondering where the anger was taking me to because I didn't want anything to disrupt what they had here but still I wanted her. I craved her more than anything.“No, I am not going to take this!” I yelled. Their gazes were on me. “You took everything from me. Taking my children as yours.” Ariana covered their ears, not wanting them to know about it. It broke my heart even more because it seemed that she didn't want them to
DamienIf I had known about them being mates with Diana then maybe things wouldn't be so messed up. Diana was just a figure that stood beside me just because of the pack. I never knew she was a ticking time bomb. When she risked everything to me, it all made sense. While she was always near, especially when I needed to talk to someone. There was nothing else that would have fit in if she wasn't in the pictures Her aunt being Ariana's step mom, it felt like the final piece to a puzzle. It was clear why she was always disappearing even when I knew that she was cheating. I didn't know someone higher than her was also influencing her decisions. Darius had no reason to hide that information from me. “Yes, I would have cared. Maybe it would have been a way to stay with Ariana all along.” He scoffed. “Can you even hear yourself? Do you need me as a reason to be with your mate? Someone that has been with you since the very beginning of your relationship. You wanted a figure for your reputa
ArianaI didn't know why he bothered to show up here. There was no remorse left in me for him. He didn't deserve it. For all I knew he could have stayed there with Diana. I didn't know the agreement he had with her,he might be here on an assignment for her. It was so absurd to think that way after seeing the way he was bruised and tattered. It may be nothing and I was racking my brain worrying about what his motives were. There was so much pain knowing what I had to endure because of him. The humiliation he had pulled me through. There was nothing more frightening than the fact that he was near and close to me. All I kept thinking about was Adrian and Adrianna. He might want to take them from me. My wolf became so restless just by thinking about it. I tried to gain control but it was difficult. It was like trying to see through the walls and trying to pacify my own self. The discomfort, I couldn't bear but I had to. He was my mate's brother and despite the connection we might have ha
DamienI saw her again. It felt like everything was right with the world again. She was doing way better than the last time I saw her. It was clear that she was now a Luna. Luna has the protection of the pack and everything just keep radiating on you after that. She was a grown woman compared to when she had first escaped from her father's pack. When she escaped me and built a life with Darius. I wanted the rumours to be false. I didn't know why I came here after escaping from the hands of Diana. I didn't know why I was so foolish to abandon my back and leave it in the hands of a cruel witch. As the alpha, everything in me was dying to go back but it would be worse. I needed to get reinforcement. The only person that had come to my mind wasn't even Ariana, it was Darius. I knew I was stupid to have treated him that way. In ways that one wouldn't treat family. I kept staring at her and my wolf cried anytime I was not near her. I was willing to drop my shame and worship the ground she
ArianaI was still holding Jessica down when every one of her men wanted to fight me off of her, I growled, they stood back. There was a signal for my soldiers to escape and that was just a mere distraction."You think you are that tough huh?!" Jessica tried to fight me off. But I stayed clear from her insults and held her down. There was fear dancing in her eyes and with this position that she was in, she knew that I could easily kill her if I wanted to. As angry as I was there was no o be way I have thought if killing her except that she hurt someone I love. That would be pathetic even for her and no matter how hard I tried to make sense of it, I just couldn't find all her reasons for being so hateful towards me. "I am tough. Next time, when you cross through my borders to threaten my children. I will not spare you then." I laced her with another dose of wolfbabe before leaving. The little army she had left was tending to her when I ran for the hills. All our soldiers were gone and
ArianaShe had changed. She had become more sophisticated, that was because she had taken everything that my father had owned. She was in charge and it bothers me how she had turned everyone here into a slave for no reason. She was desperate for power and she got it.I growled again but Darius came close to me, holding my hand so I didn't lose my cool. "What have I ever done to you that you had to send your group of witches to kill me." Jessica laughed. There was this sparkle in her eyes that made her feel she was on top of the world. "Everything. First of all, you had collected Damien from my niece and honestly, that hurt like hell.""Your niece?" I was still confused. I had no idea what she was saying. The only relation she had was Marcus. Except …"C'mon. I know that you are smarter than this Ariana. We sent you to that school for a reason, I wanted to watch you through and through. So I sent my niece to be your roommate. Just because she is my niece, she would do just about anyth
