Arielyn I glared at the phone after I dropped the call on Kendrix, I knew I shouldn’t be mad at him. he was working but for some reason, I was kind of pissed that he was out of the country and might not be back until the next weekend, this wasn’t how I pictured today would end, I spent the whole day sleeping in hopes that he would be back and we will continue from where we left off but now, I have to wait for a whole week before I can see him again. So not what I wanted and I couldn’t even pretend that it didn’t make me feel sad and unwanted, he could have delegated duties. “Of all the times to get a reason to travel, of all the times for an emergency situation to occur,” I let out with a pout, now that I slept throughout the day, I might not be able to get any sleep, which made everything worse for me because now I would spend the whole night pinning for him while he was all the way in Dilgem, he would probably be too busy to even think of me. I should not be acting like this, I a
Kendrix I spent the whole of the week in Dilgem, I barely had time to rest or do anything, I couldn’t even call Ariel to tell her how I was doing and she called me a couple of times but I was always not there when she called and when I finally got the time to go through my phone, it would be too late to call her as she would already be sleeping. It was my last day in Dilgem and everything was finally sorted out. I was currently seated with some of the people I spent the whole week working with, we decided to have a few drinks since it was my last night in Dilgem and we had finally been able to sort out the troubles in the vineyard and winery so I suggested a night out to thank them for putting so much effort into making sure that the issues surrounding the vine, tomorrow, I have to be in O-when because Ariel’s best friend’s wedding was the next day and I promised her that I will attend with her. I already know she would be beyond mad at me for not calling her since I got here but I
Kendrix “Yeah, I did, I wasn’t supposed to show myself to you but I have something important that I need from you,”She said and I wondered what it could be that she was willing to blow her cover for. “What are you talking about?”I was still trying to figure out if this was just a very realistic dream but the more we spoke, the more it was clear that it wasn’t a dream. “I have something that I need your help for, if you don’t mind helping me for old time's sake,”Veronica said. I was still in shock at the fact that the woman I loved had been alive the whole time I thought that she was dead, I tried to not let the fact that she stayed away from me get to me, she was right about not wanting to remain in a place where she was constantly at risk of being killed but she knew me enough to know that I would have moved with her if she had told me, I would have moved my whole life away from O-when to where ever she wants to be. It dawned on me that she might not have trusted me the way I t
Kendrix“Why? I know you told me your reason already but why did you end things with us? I was inconsolable for years after you left, I blamed myself for failing to protect you,”I told her. She looked remorseful. “I am sorry, Ken, but I did what I had to, it wasn’t my first time leaving a place behind and I didn’t know if it was my last, I didn’t want to drag you with me,”She explained. “I understand that now and I am glad you are okay, ahhhhhh,”I let out, letting go of the guilt that I had felt for years, she was okay, she was never in the fire and she was doing fine and running a successful business. I turned to see her watching me, our eyes met and there was a sudden shift in the air, I saw her lean towards me and stayed put, not doing anything even when her hand fell on my lap and we were practically face to face, I knew she was going to kiss me and I didn’t stop her. Our lips met in a tender kiss and held, I inhaled deeply, her lips, even though it has been years, I didn’t f
Arielyn Friday night, time, ten fifty and that man wasn’t back yet when he told me he would be back for Rose’s wedding, the wedding was by morning and I was currently at Rose’s house as we decided to spend the night together so that I can help her get ready for the ceremony, I kept checking my phone to see if he called but not a missed call, not just that, all week, I tried calling him but he never took my calls neither did he return them, it was starting to look like I was desperate for his attention so I decided not to call him again on the fifth day of him not picking his calls. “Why are you frowning? Is it because your man is not back yet?” Rose asked. I tried to mask my sadness but it was so hard to do when we had an agreement and he broke it, he told me that he would be back but he hasn’t answered my call since and now he wasn’t back, I was both worried and mad at him, he should have at least sent a text if he was so busy with whatever took him to Dilgem, this radio silence w
“Good morning people, I came to get the bride, the stylist and make-up artist will be here soon, we don’t want to be late,”I said when they woke up. her mom and dad said hi while Rose judgingly followed me, she wasn’t much of a morning person which was understandable. The pregnancy made it worse. Everything about the preparation for the ceremony went well, before ten am, the bride was ready and it was just for everyone to move to the chapel where the wedding ceremony was to be held. I walked out of Rose’s room talking to a guest who was finding their way to the chapel and giving directions when a familiar voice called my name from downstairs, I didn’t want to assume so I walked faster towards the stairs and there he stood at the bottom of the stairs, waving at me and smiling. “Hey, Arielyn,”He called, I stood there, hoping that I wasn’t imagining things, I called Raul earlier and he didn’t mention him being back so I wasn’t so convinced that he could just be back now, except Raul k
Kendrix I had a lot going on with me but on top of everything was the guilt that I felt; I was already feeling guilt for what I did with Veronica in Dilgem, even though it was just a kiss, it was something that shouldn’t have happened and all through the plane ride back to O-when, I kept wishing that it didn’t happen, arriving in O-when made it all worse because Ariel had been so happy to see me, she welcomed me with open hands and even told me that she wasn’t mad that I didn’t keep up with her while I was away, I really do not deserve her but she was with me and it was clear by the way she was so happy to see me that she had feelings for me. I noticed before but now, it was so obvious and another thing was my wolf hasn’t shut up since we got back. “Mate,”He muttered the one word that he had been using since we got to Arielyn even though I had told him multiple times that she wasn’t our mate, I cared about her but I would know, right? If I got a new mate, I would feel the connectio
Kendrix I woke up to my phone ringing, I picked it up and reduced the volume so as not to wake Arielyn up, she was sleeping so peacefully. I glared at my screen wondering why the fucker was calling me so early in the morning when it is not like we have any business. Reluctantly, I took my phone and got out of my room as I didn’t want to disturb Arielyn with a phone call so early in the morning. “What do you want, Jordan?”I asked when I was sure she couldn’t hear me. I sat on the sofa in my gym room, still sleepy. “You finally returned to O-when, I see,”Jordan said. I don’t know how he knew I was out of O-when and I didn’t care either, I just wanted to know why he was calling me so early in the morning. “Can we skip the fake greeting part or whatever this is and go to the reason why you called me so early on Sunday morning? Surely, you didn’t call to check up on me,”I let out. maybe he was calling to try and talk me out of getting the throne again, like I was ever going to chang
