ArianaThe streets of the nation city were still buzzing with people who commute every day. The city never sleeps and even with a bounty on my head, it was great to take time off to witness the city by myself. It was the best time of my life, to go out there and live. Even if it was just for a few months. The pack and the clan situated in the most quiet place, Where the acres of lands, regions and territory was still very eminent. I wanted to know how they got separated from the city but it was another story I wasn't ready to get into yet. From San Diego, it was only a few hours before we got to National city. We walked through the mass of people, commuting but he held my hand in his not letting go..Through the bustling sounds affecting my hearing, I had to speak from the top of my lungs. "You do not have to speak so loud, I can hear even the tiniest sound. Just speak calmly, no need to wear yourself out." Damien smiled at me kissing me at the side of my lips. "I said where are we
ArianaWe have started training just like Damien promised but he had an appointment that he desperatèly needed to check through. Save was the one who had brought the instructor to help out. It was not so far fetched to know that his friends loves to hang out with him here. In his house. He had kissed me goodbye saying he was going to be back soon.Darius was in the house but he stayed away from his friends and the people at the lake because they were always making fun of him.I hated that I was the only one out there."Do not drink so much, you are still running again. You don't want to fall while you are running because you are feeling too heavy." Eric, one of Damiens good friends, stared at one of the trainees. The same girl that had fallen on a branch way back. I felt for her but they didn't seem like the type that was friendly. It was the way they worshipped the blonde, it was clear that they were scared of her. It made me wonder who she really was, that she had Inflated her ego t
ArianaWhat hurt the most was that one bitch could make me feel all of the anger, when I did nothing wrong. Maybe I was a bit hostile to her at first but she had been glaring at me. Now, it may seem that I was favoured and privileged because I fell in love with Damien who happened to be their friend. From the way she reacted, it made me think maybe they had something going on.There was a bang on the door. "Come on Ariana, you do not want me to open the door."I ignored his attempts to talk me into opening the door for him. I stayed at the edge of my clearly upset as I stared on the wall. The pain only got worse as I knew that he was at the other end of the door. Before I knew it, the door was opened. "I guess I should keep this key around often. Your stubbornness is quite unpredictable." He smiled. I didn't know if he was trying to crack a joke but it was a dry one. I ignored him."So we are ignoring each other?" Silence. "Good to know." He was in good shape and clearly had fun b
Ariana POVI didn't know how satisfying the idea of Damien teaching me would sound until I said it. I realised that when he was my trainer, I was just getting as much training as I was. I saw that I had improved even when his style of teaching was a bit unconventional but was helpful to a point. I was buoyant in my speed and my strength has improved. When i think if training, I imagine those who trained in the army. I imagine how they ate being drilled, although I wouldn't compare myself because mine was going to take a huge toll. I was training to be able to defend myself.I know that, a man takes the shape of his heart. Thats how werewolf shift most of the time. If their heart and character was pure and void of all deception then he would shift according to what sits in his or heart and vice versa. It made me think of the kind of person I am. I thought of every terrible thing I have done out of deception before I came here, would everything come to play at that point. Sometimes I
ArianaI was spooked. Beyond mortified. How was he able to speak to me in my head? It was the question that kept ringing in my head. It rang for as much that I was scared to think anymore because I might hear his voice in my head. How was it even possible that he got to read my thoughts? I had noogsolf, it was clear that most of the natural habits of a wolf was far from me that,it is even surprising i have a mate, nks he can communicate with me?First it was yhr incideny at the fair. I only know so little due to my knowledge. It was flawed and limited. There was nothing I could do about that. Any attempt to find egst was going on, would pnly reveal my secret."How was I able to hear your voice in my head?" I murmured. I didn't know how ridiculous I sounded until I said it out loud. Yes, the subconscious can register people's voices with words that are familiar but this was something different. Something new and quite familar. It was like my body and soul had experienced this. Prob
Ariana"I must confess, this place is so beautiful. Highly mundane for a night creature."He scoffed. "What do you mean?""You do not seem like the kind of man that would need this kind of space just because you want to get away. I mean it is filled with many rooms.""And a lot of people who apparently work for me." He added. That was true, it was difficult to function in a house like that when everyone was just at your beck and call. The only people that lived in the mansion are the cooks. The guards and others come and go which made me think of the pack like an estate. Damien does and has a lot of money which is quite impressive. "You paint?" "Yeah. Painting and photography is something I love to do. One of the hobbies that deserves my time." I stared at the pictures one after the other. They were magnificent and it was almost like he had a collection. As I went through the gallery of photos that hung on the wall, I saw the name tags on each of them. They had titles underneath the
DamienThe memory of her body becoming undone in my arms, was everything I could think about as we made our way home. We were having those little chats, that made me want to stay in those moments forever. She loved the shelter. It was expected because anyone that actually went there was marvelled at how simple and calm the cabin was.I was glad that I was able to go there. It was obvious that Arians was trying to be comfortable around there. inviting her to the launch party, was a major decision that I had to take, I was scared of leaving her in the mansion. The coming months were going to be packed with trips and events and I wanted her to know where I came from. I know she was not comfortable when we talked about her future but i wanted her to know anyways. We don't have to like it now but soon I believe she would be comfortable with the idea.I was pausing everything due to college and now our training would be done in school soon all of my business would be taken back to the pa
ArianaI was surprised that I had seen Damien's father for the first time. I was a bit scared due to what might happen. Meeting your mate's parent was something you have to prepare for. He seemed so welcoming. I guess he knew what was going on between his son and i but I was introduced me as his friend. I didn't want things to be too known, it would better for when things go bad. Although, I was not hoping for that. I just wished i didn't have to worry so much.Damien left before I could ask him any questions. Darius went on an errand for his dad and the staff were all on a short leave. I loved that we had the house to ourselves, but I still wanted to know what was up with Damien. It seemed that he was up to something but I had no idea what.If Diana were here, she would have helped me figure it out by now. I knew I needed to get my mind off certain things. I was at ease for the first time in days. No matter how much I tried to forget the events of these past weeks, my body just san
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
