Damien's povI'd been running for the past hour, hiding from Nathan's men. Deciding to escape had been the right one. It wasn't my fault Nathan the shithead, had decided to go out for a while leaving me in the hand of two puny guards. The escape had been easy, the elusion and evading the troops of rogues in search of me not so much. After an hour of running, I'd finally lost them. Hiding in between the pews of a Catholic sanctuary I was finally free enough to attend to the nonstop vibration of my phone.I break out in a grin at the name on display, letting out air from my mouth I try to calm myself down.“Hey, baby. Miss me” The sound of something falling, her muffled inhale of shock causes me to chuckle, she hadn't been expecting me to pick.Her beautiful voice filled my ear.“Damien? Is that you?”“Yh, it's me, I'll be home soon alright? but not right now though, I didn't exactly leave Nathans's place on good terms”“Oh, but are you okay? Are you hurt? Should I come over to you? W
ArianaI have been pacing to and fro. I felt everything was falling apart and no matter how hard I tried to make sense of everything it just kept shattering. I couldn't hold anything together without completely going insane. I didnt know What to expect with those words Damien has told me. There was only confusion in my mind, dancing around my thoughts. I sighed. He said he was on his way and he didn't say anything further. Was he mad at me? It didn't sound like he was mad at me. He was sounding happy about coming home abd now I just could not find him. As I wandered in my thoughts, a loud bang on the door, distracted me. I quickly rushed to the door, and opening it, I saw Diana half naked reeking of alcohol. "What the hell happened to you?" I was so confused. She was never the type to drink to this point. She wasn't supposed to be this drunk, Diana had never lost control like this. It was scary. I tried to take off from another student who had brought her."I'm sorry. I saw her lyi
DamienIt has been a rough couple of weeks. The most important thing was for me to stay alive for the legacy I was meant to uphold, for my brother and father. Nothing more, I have had a series of death threats coming from someone as low as Nathan. That was what he liked, attention given to him to spark all kinds of havoc. It was normal, to see this kind of attitude coming from him. I hated Nathan now, more than ever. I could take him down on my own but he has always hidden behind the army that he carried around. If he wanted me dead he doesn't need a bunch of pathetic rogues to do his bidding."News just got to me that Nathan wants you dead." Rufus made it clear to me. I wanted to believe him or rather I wanted it to be a joke. A dream, a fantasy that was expected after all of these brawls going on between us all for what? Money."That is what he wants me to believe but then what would he want from me again.""Did you forge your signature?" I lowered my eyes, guilty. 'Yes, it was c
ArianaI could hear Damien shouting so much on the phone. It was clear that he heard the news but it was only a matter of time before he switched the anger to my side. Darius was taking his time to take him down but his words were sharper than Darius' quietness. Diana was trying to talk to me but I had replied to her with my quietness. I saw an iPhone stretched to my face. Darius mouthed. "I am sorry."I exhaled first before drawing the phone closer to my ear. "Yes.""Is that your next word to me after being offered 5 million?""I don't know, am I supposed to be talking in a certain kind of way?" I Was confused. Wondering why I was being scolded. "You have no right to speak to me in that way." "Really Ariana, how the hell should I speak to you, my queen?" It felt like there was a sharp piece thrown at my heart. He might not be able to use insulting words at me but his words were a bit insulting. And it hurts me even more coming from him.Ever since I got his call up a day ago, he h
ArianaThese past few days have been quieter than I imagined. There was peace knowing that everything was coming to a halt. It was more like it when Nathan was nowhere on the school premises and it didn't seem like we were fighting for our lives a few days ago. Damien was still missing or staying in a low. It was what was best. I had dreams where he questioned me rudely asking me to wolf out in the presence of the pack. It has been a recurring dream and it would have been easier on me if I knew who to speak to. Secrets like that were eating me up and I had no idea how to go about it. I have had my time with Damien and everything that made sense on it. I had the best time with him and I couldn't even question his love for me but after everything I had done, it was inevitable that I questioned his character and everything towards me. Honestly, I wouldn't blame him, it was what I had given the universe that I was receiving. Secrets and lies. There was a sharp pain knowing that I coul
DamienEven with all that was going oni couldn't say that speaking to Ariana didn't make everything a bit better because it did. Still, with a lot of doubt sitting in my mind, there was a part of me that I couldn't turn towards her. That part of me couldn't be cold towards her even when I had so many doubts inside my mind. The mistrust I had for her was eating me up and Rufus was right, if I didn't speak up it was going to be much worse later.I could feel something was wrong. I pushed that ill thought to the back of my mind but it only got worse. It was my gut feeling and it was something that has always led me. Trying to focus on the several contracts that I had opened before me, it was difficult to concentrate with so much on my mind. I groaned."A man only groans like that when he is inside a woman. Do you miss your mate that much." Rufus took a drag from his cigarette. Narrowing his eyes at me. "Yes, I miss her but not enough to start thinking of sex scenes when I have so much
Damien"Babe please." She called for me as I buried myself in her. The full moon was close and I couldn't control my urges any longer. I needed her to be writhing under me."I missed you, Aria." "I missed you, Damien" She moaned as her lips were closed to my ears. I slid into her, tearing her legs apart from each other. I couldn't control myself when I was around her it was the consequence of not having her close to me for so long. I grunted, entering deep. inside her."Ah, Damien!" I could feel her breath going quieter and quieter. "Please, I need more.""More of this?" I equally yearned for more and my cup was full but I wasn't satisfied, I wanted to have all of her until her legs trembled. She was loving it as much as I was, I could feel her releasing as much as I wanted her to. I didn't know when I was going to have this moment again, it was best I savoured every bit of what I had now, under me."Yes, please." We both reached the climax as I cuddled her up next to me. I wanted
Damien"How do you expect us to leave this room?" Ariana began to panic and it was slowing my thinking process. I growled under my breath as I thought of everything that might go wrong. I could find a way to get back to Rufus's security chain without being caught."How the hell did he find out that you were here? Though you said this place was secure.""It is. But he found a way to get a warrant from the supreme council before coming here."She blinked. I could tell that confusion was reigning on her. "There is a supreme council?""Yes. Every pack has the rite of Elders but the supreme council is a very long chain of high Elders that rules in every region of the country. Nathan probably has one of his claws in the council already. They are the only ones that can permit him to do or act in such a stupid manner." I gritted. I used to have an intel there but how Nathan was able to come up with this stunt is way above my thinking. He was way above his line and someone needed to clip those
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
