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
Ariana POVHe said he was coming to get me. I wore the red slit dress he got for me. I packed my blonde hair into a neat bun leaving some stands before my ears. I was not big on wearing makeup but I took the liberty of finding out what I looked like in a mild make up. Wearing red lipstick. It seemed I was more ready for the night. It was dinner. As much as my heart was heavy and crying out in agony, I loved that this was happening. It would relieve me of some thoughts before I actually lose my mind. In the gift box there was a smaller box that contained a necklace dressed in gold pearl, same with the bracelet. I was successful in wearing a bracelet but five necklaces, not so much. As I struggled to put it in place. My room door was opened. I didn't turn to see who it was..it was clear that he had come to get me. I stared at him through the mirror as my hands hung around my shoulders, holding out the necklace."You know, I have a terrific taste when it comes to female dresses." He
Ariana povI had no wolf like a normal werewolf. Even if I had been showing off weird signs that I might have one, it hasn't really surfaced yet and that might be an issue for when he was going to mark me. I exhaled. Not showing my fear because Damien was very inquisitive. Maybe he is trying to tease me, I told myself. This was not a time to panic, so I just needed to enjoy my day as much as he was enjoying his.I brushed off the feeling, and continued on with my meal.For someone who had been with a lot of women, he was sure looking forward to tonight. I have hardly passed on from any romantic relationship in the past. Looking back I didn't think I was even going to have a mate that was like him. Although there were some irregularities with my love story, he was a werewolf, a multimillionaire soon to be Alpha who has more possessive issues than a regular wolf. Yet that doesn't mean he wasn't good for me, it was clear that he would do anything to protect me. I mean, even if he was
Ariana"Why?""I still feel we are going fast. Let's take it one step at a time." I told him. He nodded.His feathery kisses left words of affirmation on my skin. There were poetic words that made me feel comfortable in my body. Every familiar kiss sent me into a deep end of pleasure, I was not willing to let go. All of my emotions had been heightened and my need for sex became intense. With every taste of me, and I of him came with a smirk. He saw how I melted in his one hand, like a fine clay in the fingers of a sculptor. He was a sculptor. I was nothing but a work of art who came undone in his bed. With every touch he worshipped my body like a goddess. I never had to be this relevant to a man before. I wish Damien was relevant to himself in the eyes of the crowd and also delicate as the shadows of the night bear witness to our moment of pleasure.I have never had to feel this seduction from any man before. His hands kneaded my breasts as his other hands snaked around my waist. I mo
Damien POVAfter meeting Dave, i was happy that Ariana had not come with me even when told her to..i kept thinking of what Dave had told me. It was about the rogues and Lucy.Lucy was a close friend in the pack and she was my ex and now,i had to help her in courtesy of my father. She had gotten in trouble with some rogues, captured and tortured. She was found here in this pack, I have to care for her until she is fine. I had already settled her in but my challenge was telling Ariana.I sighed, staring at her from beside me.We held each other close for the better part of the day. Ariana had been having nightmares. Although, she didn't tell me but I could see how she struggled. At dinner she had hurt herself with a kitchen knife as she was trying to help out. I couldn't help but think that was an attempt to end her life. I could see how tired she was. Her healing abilities were slow and it wasn't a good time to train like she used to. I was able to see that beautiful smile again, the l
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
