“I reject you as my mate! You can never be my Luna! You can never be my anything!” In a world where power, wealth and legacy matter, Ari has none of the above. Despite being a female alpha, she is wolfless, which is a nail to the coffin of her miseries. But, the moon goddess sees her fit to be the true mate to the future king alpha, Zade parkers. Only, Zade doesn’t think so, therefore rejecting her on the spot. Zade has his heart set on his childhood girlfriend and perfect match Olivia, so when Ari comes in the picture, he is enraged. Because Ari, is his sworn enemy. Ari came into Zade’s life through his father mating her mother. Zade detest all that Ari is that’s why he knows the moon goddess must be pulling a cruel joke on him. It even gets worse, when his wolf doesn’t agree with his rejection and can only be present if Ari is with him. His life, is turned upside down for the second time- all by Ari. Ari having found herself unable to escape the painful clutches of zade, she vows to be strong and get her wolf back, because the only way to get out means she has to be of equal power as the prince. Will she succeed and survive the love triangle between her, her mate zade and his lover Olivia? And Zade, how could he conduct his life, with two girls, all mixed up together? One whom he has loved all his life, and another; who is threatening to crash and burn the life he has built and protected so much but elicits emotions he didn’t think were within him- but is the girl he hates the most in the world?
View MoreARII shouldn’t have agreed to come here.I don’t trust her, but I couldn’t ignore the call either. I wonder what she wants to say now that she has called me.The location too is very strange. I mean, who call someone up a frooftop in the middle of the night all in the name of talking?Olivia, that’s who.“I thought you wouldn’t come.” Her voice echoes before I see her. She shows herself from the stone she was leaning against, blending in with the shadows.“I was curious as to what you wanted to say to me.” I try not to show that I am intimidated by her. She did try to kill me, so of course I am wary. I would be a fool if I weren’t.“I suppose you would be,” she chuckles, tilting her head to the side. Her long hair slides off her shoulder, making the angle even more alluring. I still cant see her face, as her back is facing where the moon is illimunating from the sky.Soo, talk,” I shrug, hoping she will start already and I can go back to sleep. Not that I was, but she doesn’t need to
ZADEI don’t move an inch from where I am, exhaling slowly as Olivia sits next to me, shoulder to shoulder. I didn’t hear her coming up.I must have been distracted. Again.“can't sleep?”“When have I ever been able to?”She chuckles, before laying her head on my shoulder. “sorry, I forgot you are an insomniac like me.”When I don’t say anything, she sighs. “Just one of the things we are alike, don’t you agree?”“I guess.” I have been trying to spend less time with her. She must have noticed that he sought me out like this.“You haven’t come to see me for a while. I am starting to think you are ignoring me again.”“I have been busy.”“If its school work, I know you are way ahead and you have already aced the exams even before they are announced.”“I have other duties other than academics.”“I know, I have your full schedule, remember?”Right, I forgot.“Why have you been ignoring me?”“I thought it would be easier if we slowly got out of each other's lives.” Not even my grandpa is sup
ZADEShe has changed.It's in the way she is talking and interacting with others, or lack thereof.It's in the way I can't seem to be getting under her skin anymore. Even the way she is looking at me nowadays, like she can see me but not really. As if she is looking right through me. Together and in front of me but not truly with me.It's annoying me.We are back to the academy, thank hells for that because I couldn’t take more of that camp any more. I dont want to be around her, so close yet so far away and I don’t know how to even fix it.She was starting to look at me differently, too. It started as wariness, then to fear and then to something akin to … familiarity. Comfortable.But now it’s something I hadn’t seen from her before. She is looking at me like I don’t matter at al. she can see me and in her mind, I simply don’t matter, don’t hold anything of importance for her to regard me as anything but someone who she has to deal with in the specific moment I am with her.I don’t l
ARI“Who are you texting?”I slide my phone into my pocket, just as Max sits next to me on the bench. “Oh, no one.”“It looked serious.”“It wasn’t.” Just my new dad, telling him I might be taking his offers after all. All the things he has been trying to offer me I am finally saying yes to them.Mr. Parker is elated, judging from the numerous thumbs-up emojis he has sent back. He has told me that I will be ready when I get back to school in a few days.I am over this boot camp.“Come on, let's join the others.” I don’t want to but Max takes my hand and we start walking to one of the rooms we will be spending the day in, getting close and all.They are all in, seated at the round table. The room is designed as a circle, to help with the cohesiveness of the people in something about how buildings have different frequencies depending on their structures.I don’t pay anyone attention, not as I put on my earpods and sit by the window, away from them, and take out a book I brought. I have
ZADE“How is she?”Max is furious. She can't even look at me, and I know she would shout and even hit me, but she can't. But I know why, I didn’t do well, and this time, even a cruel person like me understands why I shouldn’t have done what I did.It's not what I did; it's more like what I didn’t do.I watched Olivia being beaten and humiliated like she was nothing. All legacies were there as we watched, not batting an eye even as Olivia tried to choke her and drown her in her blood.I didn’t do anything, not even try to stop the duel that was very unbalanced and unfair, all in the name of wanting to remain impartial. If I showed Olivia that I cared about her, then she would have been I trouble.But … what trouble? She was already going through hell in her hands. Does it go darker or worse than what she got? No.I was juts a shitty person, a cold person like she has told me over and over again.“You don’t have the right to ask me that.”I don’t, but it feels like the right thing to do
ARII see white behind my eyes when she throws me on the ground with my back, I think my back might snap in two.Breathing is heavy, I think my lungs are punctured.Something heavy presses on my chest, and I feel like I am choking. I cough up painfully, and something travels on my mouth corners.I think someone is screaming and shouting, and then the pressure is gone.“Ari,” someone is shaking my shoulders. “come on, don’t pass out on me, Ari? Ari!”Max. Max is here.“I don’t think you are allowed to be a part of the duel unless you want penalties.”“And you think killing her is going to be a fair match for you?!”“get out now while I am being nice to you. This is between me and her.”“no more, the duel is over, she is down.”“no, the duel is over when I say it's over.”“This is insane! Zade, come on, don’t you see she is killing her?!”“get out now max, I know I can take you too. If you don’t want me to hurt your friend any longer, step away.”I try getting up but my whole body is in
ARII might have done something that I shouldn’t have done.Not yet, at least.Here I am, out in the open facing my duel opponent, Olivia.I didn’t know it would come to this; a duel. When I told her that I could beat her, well, I didn’t know that could be termed as a challenge and an invitation for a duel.I knew I had fallen into some sort of trap when she had only smirked and told me to meet her outside where there was plenty of space to prove that ‘little’ theory correct.Max had stiffened next to me and Zade… well. It's his girlfriend and his fated mate dueling, indeed he could have said something.Anything.He didn’t and he isn't going to, not when he is acting like this whole thing is an inconvenience for him and acting all nonchalant. I want him to go, or do something but he isn't, he is just here, listening to Olivia talk where they are all gathered.The legacies.There aren't any other people around, as the other group is out somewhere doing their assigned tasks it's just us
ARIEyes are on me as I make my way to my seat.Today, unlike the past few days, it's snowing heavily. I am ready to go back to the academy, back to my own dorm and space. This place is beautiful, but I have had enough of being in close quarters with certain people.Here, you feel like you are so close and being watched all the time. There isn't enough space for all of us, even though this is a large resort enough to fit twice the group and remain more than comfortable.I guess I am just tired of the scrutiny because the whole class is now staring at me like they have never seen me.I don’t even bother to acknowledge the stares, just zipping my puffer jacket to my chin and then pocketing my hands, and eyes at the teacher.Today it's all about communal. Relationships. Cohesiveness.Everything that will remind me that I am unwanted and I am not part of the pack.“Don’t be so gloomy, we are stuck together.”Max shoulder bumps me on my side and I nod, briefly looking at her before I look
ARI“Oh, I feel awful,” I moan as I rub my chest. “This really sucks.”“Get yourself a new crush. No, maybe explore and just be free about the whole thing.”“How? My whole world and focus point seems to be on one person and I can't move on past that.”“Try to, it won't be easy but it will help. Go out and mingle with other people outside this school.”“We are in the middle of nowhere,” I gesture around us.“Not really, we are at the centre of a very hot point. Miles away, there is a town and it is very active. Maybe if you take this as a trial, you will do well when we go back to the academy.”“And at the academy, all I will meet are more students.”“No dummy, outside the academy. In the city, and surrounding towns … you might even take vacations and travel too. Your world is your oyster. Live a little.”Live a little … can I do that?…A solo hunt.Not for boys, or for even eating but for myself.I wanted to go out with the girls but Mimi said it would be good if I started alone at f
ARIFor a cruel day, the weather is perfect.The cold air hit my skin and I exhale, feeling the weight of my circumstances heavy on my shoulders. I have never considered this to be my home, but the view on my balcony of my bedroom is so beautiful. The vast green rolling fields before a forest line breaks it is so perfect.I sigh when I scent the pancakes that mother is making me for my eighteenth birthday. Every wolf looks forward to this day, the mark day when they will meet their mate.I hear my mother coming in and I slip in my bedroom, jumping in bed and pretending to be still asleep. I am determined to avoid any confrontation today if I can and being absent until I am off to the new school.The thought of the new school makes me nervous but I will myself to be calm when I hear my mom turning the knob to my room.“Honey, wake up. It’s a new beautiful day,” she goes straight to the window and draws the curtain and comes to sit beside me.“I know you are awake, so stop hiding from m...
