Thank you for reading. James and Zoe's book is completed. The Alpha's Rejection is the title if you would like to have a read.
Ariana I refused to believe it but Lewis was gone. Vanished from this world. Forever. Not even a body was left for me to take back to his pack and give him a befitting burial. My heart was throbbing painfully. It was suffocating. Was this really the end? Reality hit me like a painful stab to the stomach. How did I not see this coming? I was supposed to be the one gifted with the sight of the future. But it was useless… I couldn’t save my mate from his unfair demise. It was my fault. The empty hollow in my heart was a painful reminder of the fact that the other half of my soul had been brutally ripped out. But why did I feel like all my soul had been torn away from me? I clutched my chest where my heart should be, crouching down as a gnawing pain hit my heart repeatedly. Goddess please… tell me this is a nightmare. My mind was awash with thoughts. If only I had focussed on trying to see new visions, I would have seen this and prevented it. I felt my lip trembling as t
Ariana I gasped for air as an invisible force weighed me down, knocking out the air in my lungs. Looking around, I found myself back to the scene when the evil woman was trying to exchange souls with me. My heart leaped and began to pound a million times per second. I was back. And Lewis was still alive. Time had successfully been reversed. Turning to look for him, I found him a few meters away, a look of panic on his face as he tried to approach the evil woman. I felt my heart throb painfully. He was here… in the flesh. God, I thought I would never see him again. Thank you, Hecate. Coming back to reality, I realized I only had a few seconds to lower the effect of the destruction ball in the evil woman’s hands. If I let Lewis die again, I would have no choice but to follow him for real this time. Because the spell can only be performed once and there's no way I would live on, alone. Summoning as much power as I could, I began to whisper a spell, focussing on the bal
I sighed against Lewis’ lips as he kissed me deeply. Parting my lips, I kissed him back with all I had. Pouring my heart and soul into it. My heart constricted thinking about how I almost lost him. No. In fact, I did lose him. He died right in front of me and it felt like the end of the world. I swear, I didn’t know what I would have done if I was only a human and couldn’t use magic to reverse time. For the first time, I was glad I was a hybrid. At least, I could use my witch powers to bring back my mate. We continued kissing for a couple of minutes until our lips turned a little bit numb. I didn’t plan on ending this anytime soon. I wanted evidence that he was really here and he was not a figment of my imagination. I wanted to feel his skin on mine. To touch him and taste him. I wanted our souls to mold as one, for me to feel that we would always be together and he would never leave abruptly like that again. Someone suddenly cleared their throat and interrupted our hot m
Ariana “So what happened between you and the fake me?” I finally asked the question that had been on my mind for days. “Nothing happened baby.” Lewis said as he put on his white button-down shirt, “How long has it been? Why are you only asking this now?” “It’s been a week and I can’t seem to get it off my mind. Tell me, did you at some point mistake her for me? Did you kiss her the way you kiss me?” “No.” “How? And when did you realize she wasn’t me?” I asked, my heart racing. Lewis sighed and walked towards me, turning me around to face him. “If anything happened baby, you would have felt it.” He said quietly. “But… but magic was involved. How would I know if it blocked the effects too?” I countered, pouting slightly. The thought of that bitch having her paws on my mate made anger bubble up inside me. I wanted to find her and beat her to a pulp. Lewis chuckled, tucking a stray hair behind my ear. “I could never hurt you that way baby. I knew she wasn’t you the moment I s
Lewis I could feel Ariana’s eyes on my side profile as I steered the car. We had been driving for hours and were almost arriving at the blackmist pack territory. “How long are you going to stare at me like that?” I asked her. She had been behaving rather odd since the day of the battle. More often, I would find her staring at me with sad eyes. As if she was afraid that if she took her eyes away from me, I would disappear. I turned to give her a side glance and she smiled warmly at me. “I just can’t believe you’re here with me.” She said quietly. Her words made me frown in confusion. Why did she keep repeating that, could it be that something happened to me that I have no memories of? “I’ll always be here with you. You know that.” I replied, returning my gaze to the road. “It’s just that you’re looking at me with wistful eyes. I’m here… in the flesh.” “Yeah… I can see that.” The moment she said that I felt her hand slide to the front of my pants, massaging my manhood. “How
Ariana It’s ok to have desires. Growing up as a female, I was told not to be too outspoken about stuff like sex and shit. That it was shameful for a woman. It made her look slutty and whatever excuses our ancestors made to degrade women. But why do men get a green pass in everything? They can fuck as much as they want. Explore and have many sexual partners and in return, they get a pat on their back for being a ‘real man’. Did it mean they were more human than us? Bullshit. I begged to differ. Women deserved to do what they want as much as men did. Still, I held it in. I hid my true self from the world because I was worried about what people would say. In all my few past relationships, I bit back my dissatisfaction and pretended to be ok. There were times when I wanted to be thrown around like a ragdoll during sex. Times when I wanted to be treated like fine china. Gently and tenderly, like I might break at any moment. Times when I wanted to be contorted in every
Ariana I snapped out of my dark rage as soon as I realized what I was doing. The utensils that were flying in the air dropped to the ground and a loud menacing growl erupted from Alpha James just as he stood up from his seat, his eyes flashing gold. “Stop it.” Zoe stopped him, gesturing with her eyes for him to sit. Guilt-ridden, I hesitantly looked at Zoe whose expression didn’t betray her emotions. She didn’t even flinch when the knife was almost piercing through her. My heart pounded in my chest, realizing everyone’s eyes were now on me. God, what have I done? I had just gotten here and I already tried to kill the Luna. Would they chase me out because I’m a bad omen? Cordelia’s words cluttered my mind. She had mentioned that anger and rage are like fuel for darkness to evolve and I almost lost myself because I couldn’t restrain my anger. Wasn’t I a walking threat to my loved ones? What if one day this darkness took full control of me? Horrified, I pushed my chair back a
Lewis Everything was going well until I almost blurted out about how I had kissed Zoe which led to my decision to leave the pack. I managed to stop myself from finishing my sentence but it turned out Ariana had already found out. She could hear people’s thoughts after all. It was already too late when I realized she was extremely furious. The air around us turned dark and before we knew what was going on, Ariana had sent a knife flying towards the Luna. My heart raced, I stood up, hoping to calm her down but the flying spoons and plates suddenly fell to the ground. She had managed to stop herself in time. The silence that followed after was so tense, a knife could cut through. It was like we were all trying to process what almost happened. But it was only for a split second. James immediately stood up, growling at Ariana menacingly and my heart dropped. If anything, I was ready to fight my Alpha to protect my mate. Fortunately, Zoe had stopped him before he could react
