The Alpha's rejection 54~ A package
I tightened my arms around Ariana, holding her close. Afraid that if I loosened my arms even for a split second, she might disappear. We were lying down on the rug in the sitting room, butt naked with our legs entangled with each other. After that intense love-making, we were too tired to move. Well, I wasn’t but Ariana whined and refused to move. She was exhausted and I had felt guilty for being so rough when she had just had her first shift. When she said she wanted to break up, I was quiet for a few minutes. My eyes stung. I could feel my heart squeezing painfully... It felt like someone was piercing a needle through it, one at a time. Wesley howled in my mind, feeling upset but I calmed him down. Our mate was just scared, scared for us. Understanding why she made that decision, I didn’t get upset with her. But I was angry with the goddess. If she loved her children, why would she give them gifts that would cause them pain and call it a blessing? Frustrated and sad, I pounded

Ariana Looking at the familiar frame in the photo my heart pounded, sounding like a galloping horse. It was filled with fear. What did this message mean? Lewis must have heard the spike in my heart rate because he looked up from the map he was so engrossed in, scrutinizing me worriedly. "You ok baby?" But I didn't respond. My lips quivered as my eyes dipped to the note and photos in my hand. I didn't know what to make of them. Was my mother still alive? Grabbing the stuff in my hand, I heard Lewis curse. "Fuck. I swear I'm going to rip that bastard to shreds." "What do you think this means? That's a picture of my mother." My voice shook in fright. "Mmmmm baby we need to be careful. They are just trying to lure you into a trap." "But what if she's my mother?" I screamed out just as the flood gates opened and tears began to flow down my face. How I wish it was true. That she was alive and just waiting somewhere for me to rescue her. Lewis put the note and letter down, he move

Lewis “Baby…” I turned briefly to look at Ariana who was seated in the passenger’s seat, refusing to talk to me. Intense guilt was rolling off of her in waves and I didn’t know how to assure her that I was ok. We were heading west of the dark forest, where the coven for witches was located. Ariana seemed not able to control the energy in her body which causes her to have intense outbursts when angry. I called James who directed me to his mother-in-law, Cordelia. A witch who was recently accepted back into the coven. She advised me to take Ariana to the coven so that they could help her control her magic. “I told you I’m ok. You couldn’t control it… cheer up, mmmm?” I said to her, squeezing her hand that I was holding while I steered the car with the other. “No… I could have killed you Lewis.” She whispered in a low voice, her head hanging low, averting my gaze. “At that moment I really felt like an evil person. I had all these evil thoughts in my mind and I wanted to kill some

Ariana I sighed contentedly, scooting closer to Lewis and laying my head on his chest. Right here.. In his arms, I felt complete. His divine scent teased my nostrils and I couldn’t help but take a big whiff. He smelled so good. My hands traced the muscles on his chest, feeling their firmness as sparks erupted between our skins. I was blessed with a god, that’s for sure. We had just finished the fifth round of making love and decided to sleep in readiness for our journey tomorrow. After much coaxing from Lewis, I finally moved on from the stunt I pulled last night. I was ashamed of myself for not having control. The darkness I felt within me when I thought about my parent’s death was scary. There seemed to be something… a small voice other than my wolf, telling me to find those men and tear their flesh apart. It frightened me and I thought I was turning evil. Jade had stopped talking to me after that outburst, saying she was upset with me for hurting our mate. She was afraid he w

Lewis. I awoke to Ariana’s sweet scent swirling around me. It was alluring and for some reason, smelt sweeter this morning. Her tantalizing scent made my mouth water.. My wolf panted loudly in my mind, sending explicit images to the forefront of my mind, making my morning wood painfully hard. Looking over at my mate sleeping peacefully next to me, I didn’t have the heart to wake her up so I settled for treating myself to an early breakfast. Feasting on her hot wet core. And it was divine. We had just driven through the large gates of the coven’s mansion and my mate seemed to be amazed by the sight. I chuckled, thinking she would get really surprised when she saw my Alpha’s mansion back at the pack. He was one of the richest men I know. A force to reckon with. Cordelia, Zoe’s mother was already waiting for us at the entrance and she welcomed us warmly. Although Ariana seemed a little nervous so I squeezed her hand, reassuring her that I was there with her. I was on high alert

Ariana When I came to, I found myself in a cozy cabin, sleeping on a small bed. I jerked up from bed realizing I didn’t know this place. My heart began to pound vigorously in my chest as I darted my eyes around, searching for Lewis. Did they do something to him and kidnapped me? My stomach churned at the thought. I didn’t want anything to happen to him because of me. “Baby…” his voice snapped me back to reality and I whipped my head around to find him walking into the bedroom, his forehead creased but he sighed in relief after a few seconds. Jolting up from bed, I rushed to his side and threw myself into his arms, holding him tightly. “I thought… I thought something had happened to you.” I choked out a sob. My heart was still aching at the thought. We had done a really risky thing going to see a group of witches without a backup. “Shhhhh, I told you nothing can happen to me.” Lewis stroked my head and then pulled me away slightly while cupping my face. Before I could respond,

Ariana The moment we returned to the City, Lewis had me doing all sorts of exercises to strengthen my muscles. After learning the basics, he made me start lifting weights and I would do some boxing with him. He was training me and teaching me how to fight. According to him, I needed to learn how to fight in my human form before I could learn how to fight in my wolf form. We had set a date to head to the winter mist pack. They had left an address at the back of the photos they had sent to threaten me with. Lewis planned to make me stronger before we went there because we didn’t know what we would run into. It was going to be like a mini war and he had requested for more warriors from his pack to accompany us. “Ouch.” I winced when I tried to stretch in my seat. All that training had made my muscles sore and there was no place in my body that wasn’t paining. My thighs were killing me especially. I couldn't even do squats or get on top of Lewis during sex because of how much they wer

Lewis “Want to go for a drink?” I asked Tyson when I walked into his office before knock-off time. He raised an eyebrow, looking up at me from where he sat at his desk. “Sure, wouldn’t be a bad idea. Why the sudden urge to go for a drink though?” He asked suspiciously. “Ariana will be out tonight so I’ll get bored.” I said, running a hand through my locks with one hand in my pocket and I heard him chuckle. “Ahhh so that’s why. I thought you had become bored and wanted some time away from your mate.” “I would never get bored.” I hissed curtly. In fact, I would rather we be attached by the hip all the damn time but I didn’t want to suffocate her. That was why I let her know she was free to do what she wanted but I couldn’t help but get worried about her safety so I made a plan to go for a drink just nearby where they would be so I could keep my eyes on her. There were still bad guys out there to get her after all. “Mmmmm okay boss. We shall head out after 6, I’m working overtim

The Alpha's rejection 89~ Epilogue
THREE YEARS LATER Lewis It was funny how time flies. One minute you’re a child and the next, you’re an adult who’s responsible for yourself and other people. In my case, I was a mate, a beta and a brother and a soon-to-be father. That’s right, Ariana and I had our wedding 4 months ago and now she was carrying our pup. A boy. She was the most beautiful bride I had ever seen and on that day, when she said I do, it was one of the best days of my life that I’ll cherish forever. The last three years have been nothing but blissful. Life was great. We would have problems here and there but nothing that was not solvable. After all, this is real life and not everything can be perfect. Alpha James and Zoe left on a honeymoon tour a month ago and left their pups in our care. They were living with us at our mini-mansion that I built for Ariana and I and boy, they were a handful. We had a nanny for all four of them. Matteo, Alpha James’ baby brother thought he was his brother’s son
The Alpha's rejection 88~ Proposal
Ariana I’ve been living in the blackmist pack for three months now and I can attest that it’s much better than the human town. I liked it here. At first, when I learnt that werewolves exist I thought they would be primitive and living like cavemen but they surprised me by being more modern than ordinary humans. The pack was designed like a small town. It had shopping malls, residential homes and a large packhouse where the majority of the wolves stayed. Mostly unmated ones stayed there. Despite the modern setup, the flora and fauna were not tampered with. We were still surrounded by a big forest. On full moon nights, we would go for pack runs which were led by the Alpha and Luna. And then most times, I would go on a love run with Lewis, my mate who had been nothing but lovely ever since I settled here. The only thing I missed from the human town was my aunt Judy. “Can you get me another dress? Where’s the red one I chose earlier? I look good in red.” Zoe asked one of the o
The Alpha's rejection 87~ Baby fever
Lewis I ditched the car and ran to the orphanage since it would be faster that way. The Alpha had already begun running back to the pack after I called him to tell him his Luna had gone into labor. Taking off my clothes, I shifted and carried them in my mouth then I began to run as fast as I could. From the way Ariana kept poking into my mind every second, I knew she was freaking out. ‘Dr. Anthony prepare the Luna’s VIP ward she’s in labor.’ I mind-linked the doctor at the pack’s hospital. ‘What? That’s too soon. I’ll work on it right away.’ I continued to rush forward with Wesley in the lead. Being a beta wolf, he wanted to protect his Alpha’s pups. ‘Lewis! Hurry! I can see a head… oh my God! I don’t know what to do!’ Ariana’s shriek echoed in my head. ‘Calm down baby… You will scare Zoe. Take a few deep breaths and guide her… tell her to push as hard as she can. If the baby stays like that it will suffocate.’ ‘But I’ve never done this before.’ She responded, sounding sc
The Alpha's rejection 86~ New life
Lewis I felt like I was in paradise. At the break of dawn, I opened my eyes and found Ariana sleeping peacefully in my arms with a smile on her face. We were happy. And I hoped it remained so for the rest of our lives. I stroked her curly hair and leaned down, placing a kiss on her forehead. Ariana stirred, scrunching her eyebrows then inched closer to me, burying her face deeper into my chest. Having her back made me whole once again. I wouldn’t have survived without her and to think she had watched me die and had to experience the agony of the bond breaking filled me with intense guilt. That was not something I wanted her to go through. Ever. She had even gone as far as stabbing her heart to perform a dangerous spell to save me. That was the extent of her love for me. I could see it. I could feel it. A love so pure and true. What more can I ask for? I loved her just as much as she loved me and with each passing day that we are together, our bond grows stronger. All
The Alpha's rejection 85~ Back home
Ariana I stared into Lewis’ eyes to check if he was telling the truth. Not that I didn’t believe him. It’s just that with our current situation, even I could come up with any reason that could help us be able to be together. He had just told me about how my mother and his father were childhood friends and that day, he was actually going to save her due to her call for help but unfortunately, he arrived late. “I have proof, baby… I can’t lie to you. You know that.” Lewis said with a pained expression. I cupped his face with my palms and pecked his lips. “I believe you. Even if you made something up I would always believe you.” I said and I meant it. “But I didn’t make it up my love. My father has recordings that you can listen to. I have them on my phone.” He said and took out his phone before I could stop him. We were seated on a two-seater couch in the small sitting room in the cabin after two more rounds of banging each other. I listened to the recording and when I heard
The Alpha's rejection 84~ Seek and you shall find
Lewis “Alpha, I’m leaving. I’ll only come back when I find my mate.” Alpha James raised his brow. “Are you sure? You’re going on a wild goose chase man. She could be anywhere.” Anger surged within me and I growled. “Are you saying I should give up on my mate? No way man… she’s mine and I’ll find her.” “How? By running around aimlessly like a headless chicken? Do you even have a clue where she is? If she doesn’t want to be found, do you think you can find her that easily?” I curled my hand, clenching it into a fist. He was right. I couldn’t just go searching without having a clue about Ariana’s whereabouts but what other choice do I have? Wait for her to calm down and come back on her own? What if she never comes back? What then? Being without her would kill me and my wolf. “I have to find her.” I said in a low voice, sounding defeated. “Come on man. We are wolves. We work smart, not harder. What’s the fastest way of finding someone in our supernatural world without using
The Alpha's rejection 83~ A reason to not be together
Ariana I steeled my heart and chanted the teleporting spell while avoiding making eye contact with Lewis. I just couldn’t bring myself to look into his eyes. If I did, I was afraid I would decide to stay with him. But that was out of the question. Not after what I had found out. I had to leave for my parent's sake. I wouldn’t be able to face them knowing I had stayed with the people who took their life. Lewis just stood there, staring at me. And from my peripheral vision, I could see he was crying. My chest constricted seeing him like that. It hurt more that I had to leave him this way. I was punishing him for his father’s mistakes. It didn’t take long for the spell to take effect. As I was slowly getting sucked in, I snuck a look at Lewis. I wanted to see his enchanting face for one last time. I wanted to have it embedded in my mind forever. But the look of despair on his face crushed my heart. Now I would be stuck with his sad expression for the rest of my life. I shouldn’
The Alpha's rejection 82~ An explanation
Lewis I don’t know how long I had been staring at the spot where Ariana had vanished. My heart just couldn’t accept the fact that she was gone. She had left and this time I’m afraid, it’s forever. With the bad blood between us, there’s no way we could be together. For most of my life, I had never regretted any choices I made. Bad or good. Because I believed if you’re hesitant about something, you would still end up regretting whatever decision you make in the end. You would always ask yourself. What if? Could things have been different? I never wanted this type of uncertainty in my life so I was always decisive. But now, looking back, I deeply regretted bringing my mate to the pack. Perhaps I should have stayed with Ariana in the human town. I would be a CEO and she would do the work she loved. We would go back home together after a busy day at work, cook together, make love and do the same the next day just like normal people do. Most times people take advantage of thi
