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

Thank you for reading. I didn't update last night because I was so tired and I didn't want to rush the writing. I'll be updating a new book soon, for those who love Mafia books. It will be titled Mafia's Slave Pet. Be on the lookout.

    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

    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

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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’
