Thank you for reading.
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
