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
ArianaI couldn't believe what I heard. I felt the worst was happening to me all over again.Worst of all, it was from Damien, it was all coming from him."You are telling me right now that your ex has been living with us here in the pack and I am just aware of it?"Damien sighed trying to pull me into his embrace. I pushed his hands before he touched me. "You do not understand but I wished I could explain, I just have to go to her right now."I felt my heart drop listening to him. This conversation was clearly important but he was choosing to ignore this just to attend to his needs."This is clearly as important as going to meet Damien. You have been cheating on me and you have finally made her pregnant?" I was running several scenarios over time as I tried to create a picture of them myself. There was nothing but pain and this crazy tightness in my chest. Another pain was added to what I was already feeling."No no no. I didn't make her pregnant. I never cheated on you. Trust me, I
ArianaEarly this morning, we both had a moment after our fight.He made me understand that he had to help Lucy because she might help lead them to the rogues. Anytime I hear about rogues, I always think of massive casualties that might also be fatal.Although I couldn't stop thinking about it, I still trusted him. It made my place in his life so volatile and it scared me. I could be kicked out of his life anytime it was something I didn't want.A little intimate moment was burnt in my memory. I had the best night of my life and it all happened unexpectedly. Feeling him that close was what I have always wanted and it finally did. I had to swallow my moans so I wouldn't be too loud but Damien didn't seem to care. At first, he was gentle with me before he went tough on me. After the realisation of last night, I wanted to take the day off considering that we were not able to take our hands off each other. I was still feeling sore, even after being inside him a few minutes before dawn. I
ArianaThe bonfire party that was held by most of the frat boys in school, decided to host. It was fun because I was with Damien. Afterwards was the funniest, we got to share experiences and sing a lot of folk songs. Watching them, it was clear that the boys liked to party hard as much. They played games and pumped themselves with alcohol. I had fun, stepping out into the gathering, although his friends were douchebags.I sighed. I could sense that there were still a lot of things bothering him, anytime I tried to ask he told me not to worry. The truth was that I worried more. There Was no way to reach his mind, I was not strong enough and my wolf was still dormant which he was still oblivious to.Seeing how everything turned out, I was happy nothing went sideways. I was expecting the worst, like the last time I partied without his knowledge. I had learned my lesson too well. I formed a small smile and faced the crowd before me as the fire dimmed itself. As the crowds were dispersin
Ariana"What do you mean you don't know?" I sighed. He was very good at hiding his emotions like they didn't exist which made it difficult to reach him. I wanted to be able to be comfortable without any doubt.I exhaled as I placed my hands on his chest and paused. Where do I begin? I asked myself."You've been distant lately. Recently you were almost aggressive and so possessive with me. I don't know if you lost control, or work is the problem." I started. "I tried reaching out but there was only so much I could do. You just were locked up. Are you fine? Or you don't find me worthy to confide in? Did I do anything offensive that your behaviour changed? Sometimes, your silence is just disturbing, I feel you are tired of me.""What?" He grimaced before he replied. "No! I would never think such a thing about you. I would never get tired of you. Yes, I was tired and everything was just pissing me off. I'm sorry that you had to see me that way.""It is okay to be that way. It is normal
Ariana I couldn't understand what he was trying to tell me. I kept thinking of what Damien was going through, right now. I had no clue of what's going on. It was clear that he was in danger."How is this even possible. " I whispered to myself as I stared into blank space. It felt like I had been living a lie here, trying to convince myself that they were worse evil than what I had experienced. The multiple nightmares that I have had were the truth dancing before my very eyes. There was pain knowing that everything isn't going as soothing as you planned it in your head. Damien never gave me clues to what the hell was going on. I knew he asked about him once but I never knew that something was up that Nathan had to come get from the house. Was I in trouble? Was something going to happen to me next?"You have to say something Ariana. Your silence isn't going to make everything seem okay." "There is nothing to say.""I know you have questions, I suggest you ask them now." Darius was clo
Ariana's povI watched him take a deep breath, his face scrunched up, a telltale sign that whatever he was going to say, would shock my world."That's not all. There is every possibility that the rogues know where we live now, so please you have to be alert. Call me if anything happens. My heart skipped a bit, with my mouth a bit open. "What?!”“What do you mean they know where we live?!” I skipped a beat at the thought of vicious wolves knowing where I slept.Frowning he continued“Yeah We have to be safe until Damien comes or worse, my father gets involved in this." My mind shut down for a couple of seconds, ignoring the look of caution on Darius' face, I will myself to walk, I take two steps before my legs give out, and my hands shake. What scared me more, was not the rogues knowing where I lived but the fact that the possibility of the Alpha being involved.I could feel the onset of a wracking panic attack, it was too soon, and I wasn't ready for my secrets to be exposed. “Oh
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
