♡Arielle’s POV♡

“Mom!” Brielle and I gasped, rushing to both sides of my mom, and we sat on the armrests.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and though she pressed her hand to her lips, trying to choke back her sobs, they slipped past and echoed throughout the room.

“It’s alright, mom.” I said as we patted her back, trying to comfort her, but it did no good.

She wailed like a woman who had lost it all in one night. It was terrible to hear and see her so broken and crushed.

I suspected whatever past she had with Killian was terrible and painful to remember, but I didn’t expect her to have a full-blown mental breakdown.

“It’s ok, mom. Let it out. Let everything out that he has done to you. You’ve been holding it in for too long. Tell us your struggles.” Brielle whispered, rubbing her back.

“I-I… I can’t. Our mom sobbed harder.

“You have to. You need to let it out unless you won’t heal from the scars and trauma.” She insisted, and it only seemed to make her crying intensify.

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡“W-what… T-that’s preposterous.” I stuttered, taking a step back, and I almost bumped into the chair.Me? In love with Raphael? That… That was absurd. Yes, there was something special between us. A fondness and connection that kept growing strong even without the interference of our pheromones. Sure, the butterflies in my belly always took flight and seemed to increase their fluttering daily whenever he was around me or when I simply thought of him. But surely it couldn’t be love. Or could it?“You can’t lie to me, Arielle. I am your mother; I know you.” She sneered, stalking closer to me like a predator cornering a prey. But I wasn’t going to cower away. I wasn’t a frightened child who was afraid to get on my mother’s nerve. “Tell me the truth: are you in love with Alpha Raphael?”“If I am, so what!” I snapped back. “Raphael is one of the most wonderful souls I’ve been blessed to meet. I would be lucky to fall in love with him.”And I meant it. It didn’t mean I had ro

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡“Ari! Ari! Wait!” Brielle called out my name, but I didn’t stop. I just kept matching to moon goddess knows where. I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t want her to see the tears in my eyes or hear the sobs that threatened to escape. When I said I wasn’t going to ball my eyes out like the last time, I lied. The dam was so close to bursting open and flooding my cheeks.Different emotions ran through my head, and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t know how to control the hurricane that was rolling in me. So many things had happened in just an hour. My secret was exposed to a hoard of Alpha Lords and the whole world, since the press were present. And right in front of Raphael, the man that I wasn’t sure what I felt for him apart from guilt that I had deceived him. Then I discovered the true identity of my father, a chaotic, ruthless alpha scum, and the worst of all, I literally sold out my loved ones to him.I didn’t know if I should scream, cry, or hit myself for bei

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡A fae?! Liana was a fae. I gawked at her like she was an odd oddity, because she was. How? How was she a fae? They were extinct, weren’t they? All the books I read, including those that were given to me by Agnes, stated that fact as clearly and simply as possible. Yet I was sitting in front of a person who claimed she was one. “How are you a fae? I thought fae were extinct.” I asked, frowning a little bit. I liked Liana, and I trusted her too, but not so much to believe that she was one of the most powerful races on earth that were thought to have gone out of existence. “Do you think a kind as powerful as mine could suddenly fade out of existence? Just like that?” Liana giggled, placing her hand over her mouth. “We no longer reside in your world because we chose to.” Why? Was it because of Thaddeus? It would make sense if it was because of him. After all, he had almost wiped out all the races that dwelt on earth. It was after the faes solved the problem that their

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡ “I can’t believe you’re responsible for that.” My facial expression twisted into that of pure disgust, and I glared at her like she was the worst person on earth. Maybe because, at that moment, she was. I couldn’t believe she was behind the summoning. I suspected she had something to do with it, but it still shocked me. To think that I defended her from Raphael’s accusations. “Please listen to me. It was, and never is, my intention to let those things run wild on the earth.” Liana said, grabbing my hands out of nowhere. “It’s Killian. He’s compelling me to do all sorts of terrible evils on his greedy behalf. Conquering territories, summoning demons, harming the innocent. I loathe it all. I am haunted every time I close my eyes by the horrid things I have done, but I can’t go against him. I am bound to obey him.” “Bound? How can you be bound to obey him? You’re a fae. One of the most powerful creatures in the world, and you want me to believe a simple alpha lord is

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡“No, this can’t be true. It has to not be true.” My voice cracked as bile gathered in my throat, and I fought back the urge to throw up.Sacrifice? Blood? Heart? I wanted to unhear everything she had said. I wanted to pretend she hadn’t said my father was planning to kill my sister so he could unleash his army of chaos on earth.“But… But Brielle said he was planning on marrying her off. She’s going to be receiving visits from suitors soon. How will he use her as a sacrifice if he’s going to do that?” I asked. He couldn’t do both with her, right? It was either sacrifice or marriage— or more like selling her off. They were two great evils, but if I were forced to choose one, I would take the latter in a heartbeat. Finding a way to prevent Killian from selling her to an alpha was going to be hard, but stopping him from killing her… I couldn’t imagine how we could prevent that.“Don’t be fooled, Luna Arielle; Killian is only acting out what people expect from him. He’s a

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡ “It’s a pleasure to meet you too.” I said, putting on my usual polite smile I wore when conversing with people from the high class, which they definitely were. And judging by the pheromones dripping off them, it was obvious they were alphas. I was quite surprised that I wasn’t reacting to them the way I did to Raphael the first time we met, and I was glad I wasn’t. The odd look in their eyes and the far-too-wide smile on their faces rang all the warning bells in my head. “Pardon me, but I didn’t seem to recall your faces or your names.” I wasn’t being rude or anything, but their faces didn’t ring a bell, and I was good at remembering faces and names. It meant we had never met, which also implied they weren’t alpha lords. I hadn’t seen all the alpha lords in real life, but I had seen pictures of them so it would be easy to identify them when I did, but neither of the two came to mind. “That’s because we haven’t.” The man who first called my name grabbed my hand qui

    ♦Raphael’s POV♦“How dare you touch my mate!” I growled, baring my fangs at the two scumbags that dared manhandle my Arielle. They dared put their filthy hands on her skin! They dared press their disgusting bodies against her.When I caught them assaulting her, it was like a switch flipped, and all I could see was anger. I picked them up like they were rag dolls and threw them to the ground. I grabbed Arielle and pressed her trembling form to my chest, allowing her to soak in my scent and reassuring her that she was okay. She was safe. She was safe with me.I was glad I got to her in time. If I hadn’t felt her fear… If I had been just a minute late… They would have…Red filled my vision, and my claws sprung from my fingers. They were going to pay for what they did. They would understand why no one has the audacity to touch the mate of an Alpha Lord.“Now, tell me what gave you guys the guts to touch mine, or are you just dumb?” I snarled at them as they stumbled up to their feet.“We

    ♡Arielle’s POV♡“What?! You knew?!” I gasped, and my mind went blank.When did he know? How did he know? For how long? Weeks? Days? Before he proposed the marriage? A lot of questions raced back and forth in my head. I tried to piece together any clue that I might have missed that would hint that he knew my true nature. There was no sudden change in his behaviour or attitude towards me. He was just being him. Or was that really him? What if he already knew I was an omega from the first time we met? There was a strong connection between us, and though I thought he didn’t feel it, maybe he did. What if his behaviour towards me all these times was influenced by that? “Arielle. Arielle.” Raphael called out my name, tapping my cheek, and I blinked, snapping out of the dazed state that I was in.“I’m fine…” I whispered, letting out a shaky breath. “Since when did you know? Was that why you were nice to me from the beginning? Because you knew I was an omega?”“What?! No!” Raphael frowned,

    ♡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
