♦Raphael’s POV♦

Arielle had touched me without hesitation, something a beta wouldn’t dare do even if they and their alpha spouses had been deeply in love for a long time. She had moved on pure instinct, without a single thought, and touched an alpha wolf she had only met once.

But she didn’t seem to be an omega either. Her smell hadn’t spiked up, and there was nothing else but our usual small connection. Maybe there really was the truth about her, but I had no clue about what it was. What other creature could share a connection with an alpha apart from an omega?

One look at her contented form, and all my questions went out the window. I could sort them out another time, but at that moment, all I wanted to do was have fun with her. With the exception of video games. I wanted us to have some outdoor activity. It would be a waste to come to a luxurious beach house and spend our time inside when there were a lot of fun things to do on the beach or in the ocean. Like snorkeling. Snorkellin

    ♦Raphael’s POV♦“An omega?” I gasped, unable to hide my shock, and my chest tightened. “Are you certain?”“Ninety-nine percent certain alpha.” She nodded. “We ran different tests to confirm, and they gave the same results. There’s no mistake; the Luna is an omega.”‘Arielle is an omega!’ The thought echoed in my head as it sank in. Then it all suddenly made sense. Everything. The strange connection between us…My even stranger feelings towards her…My alpha wolf’s behaviour around her… The effect of her scent on me…She was an omega. No matter how she tried to hide it, her true nature managed to break free once in a while. But why did she? Why did she keep her identity a secret? Omegas were dotted upon and spoilt by alphas, and though she knew I was one, she didn’t tell me.Instead, she was hell-bent on leaving it in the dark and even made extra effort by trying to keep me at arm’s length. Why? Didn’t she want a luxurious life too, with the safety of an alpha?Was her reason rooted i

    ♦Raphael’s POV♦ “Joan, I want you to do something for me.” I said, placing my elbows on my parted knees and leaning forward like I wanted to tell her a secret. “Anything you want, Alpha.” She replied, also leaning forward, ready to hear what I wanted to say. “First, nobody must know about her identity; I want it to remain a secret. Tell those who already do that it’s an explicit command from me. Two, I want you to not reveal to her that you told me anything.” I stated and her eyes widened. “You want to hide it from her?” She stared at me, appalled by my decision. “Sorry for asking Alpha, but why? Aren’t you angry at her for keeping that a secret after all the years you spent together?” “A little bit.” I lied and chuckled at her question. It made sense that she would think I was supposed to be angry. Heartbroken even. In her eyes, Arielle and I had dated for five years, and her keeping that kind of secret from me was a huge deal. But we weren’t. Our relationship wasn’t based on lo

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡ “Why do I feel so tired, though I just woke up?” I mumbled to myself, yawning as I walked to the living room, where Raphael always was when I woke up. I sniffled another yawn, and I frowned. My body still craved sleep, though I had just woken up from a three-hour nap. It was strange. Why was I becoming more tired and lazier these past few days? It wasn’t the first time I was falling sick because of stress, but it had always taken me three days of rest to get back on my feet, but that hadn’t been the case. It was the sixth day we had gotten to the beach house, and though I was much better, I was still tired. More tired than usual. It was like, as each day passed, I got healthier but lost more strength. I no longer had headaches, fever, or body pain, but I still got fatigued without doing much work, slept for much longer, and still woke up tired and craving more sleep. It was disturbing. Something was wrong with me, but I didn’t know what. I suspected it was the side

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡My eyes widened at the statement, and I quickly averted my gaze back to the ocean. The stupid, giddy feelings he gave me returned to my stomach, and I licked my bottom lip.Raphael didn’t really mean that, right? Of course he didn’t; it was a slip of his tongue. It wasn’t the first time he ignored the fact that we were a pretend couple and said weird things like what was between us was real. But it was the first time it involved the word ‘love’, and it made a strange feeling bubble through me.“Would, right? You mean you would love me more than everything? If you were in love with me, you would love me more than anything in the world, right?” I gushed, clarifying what he had said so he would see the error in his words.“Ah, yes. That was what I meant. It was a hypothetical situation.” He laughed, though it sounded nervous instead of playful or relaxed as usual. Good thing I wasn’t the only one who found what he said weird.“Yeah, it was a hypothetical situation.” I mum

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡‘He… He kissed my head!’Blood rushed to my face, and I could only gape at him, too stunned to speak. Again, thank the moon goddess for brown skin; otherwise, I would have been so embarrassed if he saw even the faintest shade of red on my cheeks. The beating of my heart was another thing I was worried about. It drummed so hard that I was afraid he was going to hear it with his supernatural hearing ability. I felt I should be angry at what he did, but the fluttery feelings in my chest said otherwise.“Just because.” He shrugged his shoulders and grinned.“Just because, what?” I breathed a little bit out of breath, like I had run a mile. What had I asked him? I couldn’t remember because my brain was fried.“I brought you here just because I felt like it.” He said, rising to his feet, and he stretched his body.I just stared at him, partly because of his distracting physique but also because I was waiting for him to give me a real answer, not the riddle he gave instead.T

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡“I do.” Joan sighed. “This drug is what is making you weaker and weaker. It’s killing you. The sickness you just had was the first sign.”My stomach lurched at her news, and bile rushed to my throat. The urge to throw up all my breakfast suddenly came to me. I clamped my hand to my mouth, holding back a vomit.The blockers. It had been the blockers all along. I had been poisoning myself when I thought I was protecting my identity. The same drugs I had given Brielle and our sick mother too?‘Does that mean they were sick too?’ Cold gripped me at the thought of me being the cause of their sickness, but I quickly shoved it aside.I had called Brielle the previous day, and she had informed me that they were fine. Our mom’s treatment was going well—even though it had taken longer for her to start because she had refused to use my ‘ill-gotten money’ at first. She was recovering faster than we had hoped for. If something was up, Brielle would have told me something was up wit

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡So at the end, Raphael was still going to find out. Why did she agree to keep my secret safe if she knew it was going to end like that? She would have simply told me from the beginning so I could mentally prepare myself for Raphael finding out.“There is something that can help you with your predicament…” Joan mused, pulling her bag closer to her. I stared at her, trying not to be hopeful yet until I heard what she wanted to say. She pulled out a small black box and held it to me.“I suspected you wouldn’t want the alpha to know, so I prepared something ahead.”I took the box from her and opened it. A simple amulet sat in it, and I pulled it out.“You can use that. It’s an artefact that blocks pheromones, but unlike the one you currently have, it doesn’t need any drugs to work. As long as you’re not taking in anything, your body won’t fight against it.” She said, pushing her glasses up with her index finger.“How much is it?” I asked, raising it up to the light and adm

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡‘I’m going to miss this place.’ I thought, staring at the beach house, and an ache filled my heart. Servants moved in and out, some moving our stuff to the car and others tidying up the place, preparing for it to be locked until he decided to come back.The day had finally come. Raphael’s and my honeymoon had finally come to an end after two weeks, and it was time to return to the mansion, but I didn’t want to leave. I had never thought I would be attached to the place, but I was.There were so many beautiful memories I had gotten in just a short time, and I didn’t want to leave them. It was strange. Before we got married, I had prepared myself to avoid Raphael throughout the honeymoon. And to be honest, I thought it was going to be torture to stay alone under the same roof with an Alpha. But it wasn’t.The time I had with Raphael was more than okay; it was fun. More fun than I imagined. He had given me beautiful memories that I had never expected to have. We had gotte

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡ ~Three weeks later~ “I can’t believe it’s finally time for you to go.” I said to Liana as we stood in the garden. I smiled at her. It was a bittersweet smile. It had been three weeks since our battle with Killian, and the dust had settled. The issue had been reported to the counsel of the Elds, with Liana standing as our witness, and they had accepted that Killian was a terror to the world and so his death was justified. Raphael had also been crowned the Alpha of all Killian’s former territories and had taken full control of them. The territories weren’t in the best conditions since, well, Killian was a tyrant and was more concerned about his belly and body. Rules were being removed, edited, and added to establish order and justice. “Time flies indeed when you’re not looking.” She smiled back at me, hers the same as mine. At least I knew she felt the same way. I didn’t want her to go. We had bonded over the few days that she had been with us. She h

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“After so many decades of leaving in fear of him, he’s finally gone. You killed him. Thank you, Ari.” She sobbed, throwing her arms around my shoulders and pulling me into a big hug. “I-I’m so happy. I’m really, really happy.”“It’s alright.” I smiled, patting her back. When was the last time I held her? I couldn’t remember, but I was glad I could finally do so.“And I’m so sorry for everything I did to you. All the terrible things I said and did. I’m sorry for keeping the truth a secret and for disowning you. I’m really sorry. I wish I could turn back time and undo them. I’m really, really sorry.”“I forgive you, mom. And I’m sorry for putting you through all the stress.” I hugged her tighter. We held each other for a few seconds until she let go of me.“Are you ok now, mom?” I asked as she wiped her face.“My chest feels tight and empty at the loss of Killian, but I’ll manage.” She sniffled.‘Oh, I forgot that fated mates are heartbroken when the other dies

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“What? I’m not the one who makes the rules.” George shrugged like he hadn’t just said the lamest joke in every realm.Had he hit his head during the battle? It was the only reason I could think of that would make him talk crazy.Me, leader of Killian’s territories?! Nonsense!“You’re crazy.” I glared at him. Oh, I got what he was doing. He was pulling my legs.“He’s not, actually. That’s how alpha politics work.” Raphael said. “Whoever can defeat an alpha lord to death or make them abdicate their position becomes the new alpha lord. You killed Killian, so that means you are the new um… Alpha Lord of all his territories, Moonshade, Jannah, Ilios, Tempest, and Rlyoid.”“You’re kidding me right now?” I gawked at him.“No, I’m not.” He chuckled, joy and pride glowing in his eyes. “Congratulations, Alpha Lord Arielle. I’m so proud of you.”Absolutely not! Big no! Capital letters n and o. NO! I was not going to be the alpha lord of any territories. Could I even be

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡A loud, creepy shriek echoed from possessed Killian as he dropped to the ground. I took a step back, watching him convulse and writhe like a worm. Tendrils of red and orange smoke rose from him, twisting in the air as he shrank back to his normal human size.“Curse you, you damned infernal creature!” Hellstring cursed, floating over him. Pitch black eyes, full of hate and malice, glared at me, and I trembled at the large monster.“I will end you!” It raised one of its large hands, claws out, ready to rip me apart.A shining gold chain coiled around its wrist, stopping it from descending on me.“What?!”“You shall not harm her,” Liana commanded, pointing her sceptre at him and more gold chain coiled around its body.“Let go of me, you glowing pest!” Hellstring roared, thrashing against its bind.“Return you foul beast. Return to the abyss where you rose from.” Liana chanted, and the green vortex reopened.Horrifying screams rang as the demons that had slithere

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡They were going to die.A few minutes that felt like torturous hours had rolled by, and the battle was looking grim and not in our favour.The other alphas that were fighting with Raphael were sprawled in different corners of the room, unconscious and riddled with life-threatening wounds that even their super-healing abilities couldn’t quickly heal.I was at the edge of our protective dome, watching the whole thing while my mom was pressed against the wall, trembling from fear and cradling Brielle in her arms.My heart pounded as I watched Raphael collide with the ground in a heap of blood and fur. Possessed Killian lunged at him, claws out, ready to rip him apart, but Liana flew and stood before him. Light flooded from her sceptre, sending him flying to the broken ritual altar.“Is that the best you’ve got? I could do this all day.” He chuckled as he bounced back to his feet. The burns on his fur from the blast healed the next second. There wasn’t even a sin

    ♦Raphael’s Point of View♦`We will once we’re done with Killian’s alphas. Stay safe.``I will.` Arielle replied through the mind link.My lips let out a small sigh of relief as I knocked one of Killian’s alphas unconscious. He slumped to the ground, transforming into his man form and lying there unmoving like most of his comrades. Only a few of them were still standing but, they would soon fall like the others.`Liana’s wings have been freed. Let’s end this battle now and get inside.` I mind-linked to all those that fought with me as another enemy lunged at me.`Yes, alpha!` They replied.The battle pressed on, and though Gordon’s and my alphas had the upper hand, the enemies were still a lot. Much more than I expected—the benefit of having more than one territory under ones command. It didn’t give them an edge over us, but it still made the battle long. Far longer than I wanted.I wanted to be by Arielle’s side. I wanted to protect her, but I couldn’t until I had cleared all the obst

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“Finally.” Liana laughed, her voice full of more life and energy than I had ever heard. The light burned brighter, radiating her joy.“No. No. NO!” Killian screamed, and I giggled.`Arielle? What’s going on? We can see the light.` Raphael’s worried voice rang through my head.`We got it! My mom got Liana’s wings! You guys can come inside now.`‘She got it! I can’t believe she got it! It was all a ploy after all.’ I smiled as I used my arm as a shield for my face from the light. The demons shrieking was deafening but music to my ears. Serves them right. Sadistic creatures.So it was all a trick. Her words, the action, and that kiss—it had all been an act to catch Killian off guard. And it worked perfectly. He didn’t suspect a thing, and neither did I. I was just as fooled as he was. There was no slip in her act, no hiccup, and no break in her façade. Just perfection.Pride bloomed in my chest. My mom was a wonderful actress.`We will once we’re done with Killi

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡“Mom?!” I rasped as I saw my mom rush towards us.Was I really seeing her, or was the pain making me delirious?“How? How did—never mind. I know that thing helped you.” Killian snarled at Liana, who was curled up and whimpering on the floor.I wasn’t imagining her. She was really there. Why? What was she doing? Why was she with us? Was that what Liana had up her sleeves? My mom? No! He would hurt her!“M-mom, get a-away.” I forced myself to say as I struggled and squirmed in his grip.“Oh, shut up.” He clicked his tongue, lifting the dagger.“No, please don’t hurt her.” She gasped, falling on her knees in front of him and bowing her head to touch his shoes.“M-mom no.” I struggled harder in his grip, trying to break free so I could raise her up.My blood boiled in my veins. She couldn’t grovel at his feet like a slave. She couldn’t grovel to that monster. I could never accept it.“Tell your daughter to stop struggling else…” He brought the tip of the knife cl

    ♡Arielle’s Point of View♡ The large pentagram at the centre of the room glowed with familiar green magic, then turned fiery orange and black and morphed into a portal, letting out an ominous aura and the stench of death. Loud, deranged shrieking echoed through the room, shaking the building from its foundation, and I crumbled to the ground. But I couldn’t keep my eyes off the creepy portal. A hoard of howling and crackling smoke-like creatures rose from it. They were molten grey and grotesque, with eyes that were piercing red, and they reeked like rotting corpses. The room suddenly turned too cold, and the air was too thin. I didn’t need to be told what they were to know what they were. I had seen them a lot in Agnes’ books to not miss them. Demons. A multitude of them were flying over the portal like a dark cloud with fire in it. ‘Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid.’ I chanted to myself, hoping it would magically make what I felt disappear. It didn’t. Liana had warned me abo
