ARI

Something is beside me.

No, someone. A wolf, to be precise. I know this even before I open my eyes, still groggy from the hibernation because of the link all wolves have with each other.

I could be freaked out, alarmed that a wolf has come and laid down with me uninvited, but I don’t. This wolf feels familiar, safe, too.

I know it's max even without confirming by looking at her.

I want to lull up and sleep more, but she stirs, too, and starts moving around like she wants me not to go back to sleep.

It's tempting, but I don’t think I am ready to face the world just yet. I don’t know if I want to go back at all. Being here and just hibernating sounds fun and the best option of all.

Max is in her wolf form, hence the movements are not as demure or unnoticed because at one point she topples above me and I huff out a breath, breathe knocked out of me.

I lazily open one eye to glare at her and shoo her away, but her nuzzle is right in front of my face, and she is looking at me, waiting

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   IT’S BEACH DAY. OOPS, WE DIDN’T BRING OUR BIKINIS

    ARIEverything is clear and sharp, and all my senses are awake and infused as one.The trees all blur as I run, the ground beneath my paws cool and hard. The smell of rain, mixed with snow and the trees all mix in the air, the sharp cold air making me shiver.Not from the temperature but the exhilaration, the excitement that I feel in this moment.There is another wolf, a large brown wolf, that’s ahead of me, running faster. I want to pass it and be faster, and the thrill of it makes me increase my speed, acutely aware of the other wolf behind me.The more I run, the faster I get, and the more I feel like I am stretching after a deep slumber. All my limbs feel like they are awakening, and I feel alive.Alive than I have ever been in all my life. Running with Max and Mimi is making me so happy. I can't help the howl I let out as I gain speed until I am at par with Max, before I ump my speed and run ahead of her.We have been at this the whole morning. Running, playing, and more running

    ARI“How?”“We will train very day, get you stronger. You are an alpha, you are supposed to be stronger than you already are right now.”“Yeah,” Mimi agrees. “Why aren't you?”They don’t know that I have been wolfless all this time and its only recently I have had my wolf back.“Because I have been wolfless for most of my life,” I exhale. I can't meet their eyes, I don’t want to see the pity. “I just got her back, so now I have to catch up with all the missed early education and training. I am years behind, so it makes sense that I am getting kicked around like this.”“It's okay,” a hand touches my shoulder. Mimi’s smile is warm, with no pity or sadness. “We were here, and you have her back. It's not too late.”“Yeah,” Max nods in agreement. “I train junior students, so I think I am the best candidate to help you catch up.”I can't cry, not now. I blink back the tears. “Why?”“Because I want to,” Max shrugs, “and because I don’t like seeing people get bullied. I would kick their ass f

    ZADEI don’t understand why these human hunters insist on facing off against stronger beings in the name of killing monsters.Eradicating monsters.They crush so quickly, so weak but yet so confident. I let go of the now limp body, and watch it as it falls and angles itself weirdly.Six hunters.There were seven, aiming for the three wolves who showed up at the beach naked and didn’t feel cold lying on the chilly beach. How stupid can they be?I knew that she had issues and didn’t care much about living but how unaware is she? How unaware is Max too? Isn't she supposed to be good at this kind of thing?I look around, wondering where the last guy went. Maybe he will have better luck than his friends and snag himself some werewolf girls as they start going back to where they came from. Hell, he might as well as follow them and then he can score a whole pack of them.Fuck, I am so mad right now. Something moves on my right, but I don’t look.Mmh, there he is. Hiding, watching, waiting. H

    ZADE“Mimi is collateral for your mistakes,” I tighten my grip and the girl stops struggling. She knows that it’s all futile.“Please, zade please,” Silvers starts pleading but she still isn't looking at me how I want her to. Maybe if I killed her friend, I would be one step ahead of making her feel awful and drown in the agony I promised her.“Don’t kill her, she is more than collateral and you know it,” Max’s voice cuts through and I tilt my head to look at her. There she goes, being all-knowing again. Or that’s what I want her to think.“Are you sure?”She isn't as convinced as she was a second earlier. “This is about you and Ari, so why does Mimi have to suffer from that?”“Please zade, I will do whatever, please don’t hurt Mimi,” Silvers kneels and clasps her hands in front of me.Ah, this is getting awfully dramatic, sucking out all the fun and suspension out of everything. I let go of Mimi and she slumps on the ground, in a fit of coughs as she touches her neck. Silvers runs t

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   TO FORGETTING

    ARII haven’t been able to sleep.All I keep seeing are dead bodies, piled up and eyes looking at me telling me it's all my fault. This morning I woke in a sheen of sweat, gasping for air my heart thumping so hard.When I went to get breakfast, it was a heavily meat-based breakfast, with a buffet spread out for everyone to choose from and load up as they pleased.One look at what was a little too bloody meat and I was so queasy I ran out of it and barely kept from gagging. All I was reminded of was the severed limbs and blood. Limbs I had to touch and pile up together then burn before gathering the bones and burying them where they won't ever be found.In a matter of a day, zade has turned me into an accomplice and made me bury and burn bodies all in the name of cleaning up our messes.The girls all seemed to find it less disturbing than I did. Apparently, they have had to deal with a bad case of going out of control where they killed a human or two and they had to clean up after them

    ARI“Good, so cheers,” we clink our glasses and drown the first glass easily.“Wow, it's not bad.”I know this isn't like my first at all. This is sweeter. So I refill our glasses again and drink up again.“I think I am starting to get the concept of parties,” Mimi slumps on the table, twirling her glass in front of her face.We are on our third bottle.“It is loud, full of people who might be annoying on a random normal day but here they are all filling up this emptiness that’s on our normal days. It's nice,” she goes on.It does feel nice. I am not pressured, I don’t feel heavy and I am giggling. I feel so bubbly inside I want to dance.“Hey, let's go dance!” I pull her up, drawing me I don’t know how many glasses of the night.She stumbles which makes us giggle before we walk to the dance floor. I start shaking my shoulders, to test this out, and I laugh when I find that I don’t feel the mortification that would follow when I even think of dancing on a normal day.But it's not a n

    ARII shouldn’t have kissed him.It was a mistake. Once the high faded, it all came crashing down, and all that was left ringing in my mind was that I had kissed him—Zade.Sure, it was a drunken dare, a spur of the moment but the shame … the shame I feel and the revolting feeling that is churning in my gut.I threw myself at him the first chance I could and he knew it. He knew I would or he knew that I couldn’t resist him, not even after what he had done so far. It doesn’t matter if he is mean to me, rejects me, or even downright humiliates me, I am still attracted to him.I still want him and I want him to want me back, and he knows it.“You're doing great, now repeat!” Max blows a whistle, and I wince, my ears ringing as I push back the nausea that I feel, before springing into a run and doing the rep she has arranged for today.It's so early in the morning. The sun has barely broken the sky, and the air is so cold and cutting. My breath is labored as I run through the snow-covered

    ZADEIt was my first time getting flustered.For once I didn’t know what to do, as she walked away after she had kissed me. The best kiss … no.Simply no.I wanted to grab her hand, push her against me and take her lips again in mine, savor it .., chase that feeling again where all things ceased to exist, where time stopped and everything was quiet.Quiet but fiery, raw and so intense I felt like having her there and then.I let her walk away. I had to, because this was already bad as it was, and I didn’t want to make it unbearable for the both of us.Olivia wasn’t happy when I went back to the party, asking me if I didn’t love her anymore, if I was rethinking us and all I wanted to do was go to her.But I couldn’t do that, I had a girlfriend, I had a life and a future and none of those things included silvers. She was a distraction, someone who made my life harder, not easier and smoother like it was supposed to. She posed a challenge I wasn’t in the mood for.An unnecessary challeng

    ZADEI stop behind one balding man, I think he is here because he is a legacy. Not the official family but still as important. I can see the sweat trickling down his neck into the stiff, tight suit he is wearing.If I wasn’t so sure before, now standing behind him as he reeks of fear … it's solid. My hand goes through his back, and I touch the organ that’s beating and warm in my palm.Gasps echo around, but no one says a word, as they look at me with horrified expressions, save for my father, of course.“This man,” I turn to Jude, “you missed this man.” My fingers close around the beating organ and pull my hand back. The body shakes, twitching before his head thumps on the table like a log. The scent of blood permeates the air, thickening it with the tension and fear pulsing in the room.I walk over to Jude and let the organ fall on his file, and he looks at it, eyes wide. I am sure he isn't breathing. After all, I just killed a legacy, and he has a lot of mess to clean up.And also,

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   JUDE, YOU ARE FAILING

    ZADEWe are back to ignoring each other.Or to be more precise, Ari has gone back to hating my guts and ignoring my existence. And when she sees me, when our eyes meet, those first two seconds, time seems to slow down, and it's only us. The world fades away, and it's us, and I usually get this feeling in my chest, this heavy thing that is threatening to drown me, but in a sweet way.It's only us, as if we know something, just the two of us, and then the moment is snapped and broken, and she is back to scowling at me, rolling her eyes.But I know, those few seconds, where it is only us, when time stops and we only see each other, feel each other… that is the truth of us.She told me she wanted devotion and then proceeded to lock herself in the bedroom before she left early in the morning, even though we did spend the night together.I didn’t sleep, not when she was in the next room and I knew she wasn’t asleep either. I listened to her breathing, every turn and twist in the bed.I list

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   ALL OR NOTHING

    ARI“What's going on inside this little mind?” his voice is so close to me, nose brushing my temple.I should feel something. A tingle, but I am so damn tired. All I want is to sleep, forget that I exist for a few hours before I start going back to my life. I can't escape it anymore, now can I?“Nothing,” I sigh. “I am just a little sleepy.”Is he expecting more from me tonight?I wish I had the girls with me. They would allow me to be in your space. Maybe I should call them, text them, but I don't have my phone. I remember crashing it in the hotel suite before I walked out into the traffic.Maybe I am not as okay as I think. But getting a grip is important.If I am going to avenge and face the people who ruined me to begin with, I can't let go of the reality. I need to be focused and work hard to make sure they don’t destroy me before I destroy them.I know I am not going to come out of it. The plans I made to go study law as further studies, get out of the pack and live my life as a

    ARIMy life is a mess.It’s a fucked life, painful, dry, bland, void of colour.I am ugly too, rotting slowly inside, underserving of anything good because that’s just what is set in stone for me.Despite it all, despite feeling all of that, as Zade looks at me like I mean something, like I matter … I can't help but want to be under that gaze for a longer time.He is looking at me how he used to look at Olivia, like he might love me, like I mean something. He wants to know if I am okay, taking care of me, a gentle, caring touch on my cold, withering soul.I don’t deserve it, and yet.I yearn for it. Crave it. I can't not shudder under it.“Do you want me to ask you?”Yes. I want him to ask me. I want him to push for me to tell him what's going on in my head. For him to fight for me. I am selfish like that. Mother didn’t say anything untrue, because here I am, asking and taking what doesn’t belong to me.I came into this life, took Olivia’s man under fate’s guidance, and yes. It hurt.

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   WHY WONT YOU ASK ME?

    ARII don’t think I have ever truly let myself think deeply about Zade, who is becoming, and his birthright. I am not one to attach my identity to the boy I am seeing or crushing on, and in this case, the boy I am mated to.But it's still heavy. I find it … sexy that he is already so mature, powerful too, and it's only going to get even better.Yes, I think I am crushing on Zade, and I can't control choking on my water once that fully hits me.“Are you okay?” he asks me as he rushes to my side, rubbing my back.“Yeah,” I wheeze out. “Guess I am a little surprised.”“Why?” he chuckles as he gets back to cooking.“The first thing someone sees when they see you is how spoiled you are.” That’s not true.The first thing I saw and felt when I first laid my eyes on him was just how magnetic and powerful he was. Yes, you could tell from miles away that he is wealthy, but it wasn’t the kind I got from the rest of the students.No, his was the quiet, generational wealth that just didn’t come fr

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   THIS IS STRANGE, BUT I AM NOT SAYING I DON'T LIKE IT

    ARIIt’s weird.I woke up feeling this gut-wrenching painful reminder that I was still alive, that I am still feeling, and my mind is still as loud as before.I wasn’t ready to face myself, the world, or even reality, so I went back to sleep despite not knowing where I was. I could hear someone, a female, who would come and look after me once in a while. I should have been worried that a stranger was hovering over me.But I didn’t care. That’s how gone I was. I did manage to sleep more until I woke up again, and the tension in my temples was lessening.Someone was touching me like I was so fragile, and I could feel how gentle they were being. I knew it was Zade even before I could open my eyes.It felt better, the chatter, the exhaustion… it all lessened when he was around like this. It’s something I have come to notice, not ready to admit it yet, but it’s there.I could hear his thoughts. They were so unguarded, I wondered if he knew I could hear them, and it’s the first time I've be

    ZADEShe is so beautiful.I exhale softly as I sit on the bed, watching her sleep. I can't resist reaching out with gentle fingers as I push back her hair off her face.Her hands are tucked under her chin, pressed to her chest, her body curled in as if she is feeling cold or protecting herself from something.But she isn't feeling cold; her body temperature is higher, too, which prompts me to stand up and walk over to the screen door. I slide it open, and the soft light curtains let the air in, billowing soundlessly.I had this bedroom built with a terrace garden, so it feels like someone is sleeping in a garden. I know she will love it when she wakes up.I sit on the floor, watching her as she exhales softly once cool air hits her skin.She had a massive panic attack, and I wasn’t there to help her. The first one she ever had was when she saw me kill that crush of hers –something I don’t regret, but I do regret triggering it- and she broke down in the bathroom.I knew she didn’t want

I hold her limp body, my eyes on her now sleeping face, as I breathe hard.I am scared.I almost lost her a few minutes ago, and then watched her as she almost slipped out of her mind. I stand up as I carry her bridal style to my car, where I am parked. I don’t mind the eyes on me, murmuring bout the girl who almost got run over by walking to the busy highway.I secure Ari on the seat before I get in myself and drive away.I knew something was off, from the moment I saw her mother walking out of the hotel, minutes after I had dropped ari and then the coldness that overcame me like I had been pushed in an extremely icy frozen lake.I don’t think twice, taking her to my private home, somewhere no one knows, not even my father. She is still out cold, and I start to worry that I might have hurt her. Lying her gently on the bed, I clean her up, making sure she is comfortable

    ARISomething is breaking inside me.I can’t feel my touch, even as I touch my chest. I have gone numb, nothing truly registering as I sit on the floor, remaining in a state of static as she has left me.What you are doing is not worth it.Not worth it.Nothing is worth it.What do I do now?A murderer. A misguided child. Doing things that I shouldn’t, wrecking her life.A broken wail escapes my lips as I hunch down, feeling like I am taking my first breath.This is not how it was supposed to go. How can this happen? I killed someone, but I don’t know why. I don’t know why I keep getting angry, like I am in a cage, and when I am let out, I lash out at the first person closest.I wish I could stop, remember myself, and stop getting so angry, to stop my actions before they are thrown back at me, like I am going crazy and need to be put down.Everything I am doing feels wrong. Everyone keeps telling me that I am doing the wrong thing the wrong way.I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’
