Thank you for reading.
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
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’
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 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
