Ariana's POVMy eyes narrowed on Lilith, a part of me was not surprised to see her."Lilith, what are you doing here?" Dylan asked, surprise evident in his toneI watched with interest as she quickly masked the anger on her face and replaced it with a worried frown"My Luna, I...was so worried about you, thank goodness that you are okay" she gasped and made to hug me "It's okay Lilith, I am fine, nothing happened to me" I replied as I evaded her hug, I forced a smile and wrapped my arms around Dylan, "My husband saved me""Oh!" She responded, looking lost and sad"You were worried about her? How did you know where to find us" Dylan asked"I...I... couldn't bear that you had gone off to face off with the Lycans, so, I followed you...I...thought you might need my help" Her face crumbled and tears spilled from her eyes, "I am sorry my Alpha if I overstepped my boundary, our mate bond would not allow me to see you hurt and I know how much it will hurt you if anything happens to your Luna
Lilith's POV I stormed into my room and banged the door shut, I felt like screeching in frustration and my chest rose and fell heavily, that Luna just ruined my plans once more, was it my imagination or was she smiling? Was she doing this on purpose?No way, there was no way that age could know about my plans but why don't she just get angry with him and leave, the fact that he got a new mate and brought her home should have gotten her angry and hurt but she wasn't doing any of that.I need to do something about her, what can I do to make her look bad in front of everyone?"Arghh" I screamed in frustration and flopped on my bed, I needed to see Erasmus, he would know what to do.Once every one has gone to sleep, I will go and see him. Ariana needed to be eliminated if that was what it would take to succeed with my plans.Ariana's POV Dylan gently placed me on the bed and made to leave but I quickly held him back so that he was bending over me and staring deeply into my eyes"Stay wi
Samantha's POV I was half asleep when Damien entered into the guest room that Ariana had provided for us in the Alpha's house. He quietly took off his clothes and I thought about how beautiful his body was. I could never get tired of seeing his body and I wished to run my fingers through those chest hair of his.Since I got pregnant, Damien had made sure not to touch me, perhaps, he was afraid that he would harm either me or the baby, and every effort made by me to convince him otherwise had proven futile.Tonight, I wanted my husband and I was going to try once more to make him want me as much as I want him.I watched him go into the shower and I quickly stood up and slowly undressed, I stared at my naked form in the mirror that was in the room and frowned. I have grown fat and I noticed a few stretch marks on my protruded tummy and a thought entered my headWhat if Damien does not want to touch me because he was no longer finding me attractive, I mean, look at me, I do not even fin
Samantha's POVI stretched lazily as I watched Damien sleep beside me, he always looks so calm and boyish in his sleep and I love that look about him, I smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead before getting off from the bed.I decided to go to the balcony for a bit of fresh air since I was no longer feeling sleepy.I stood on the balcony for a while, enjoying the quiet night and cool air, living in the pack was actually more refreshing than the human world although, it's always like a jungle in the pack and has always been survival of the fittest.I sighed and was about to go back in when a movement caught my eyes in the opposite direction and I looked in that direction.I frowned when someone came out of a room wearing a cloak that had a hoodie.The hoodie fell off for a moment before she quickly and carefully wore it right back and I frownedWas that not Lilith? I have heard about her, Dylan's new mate but what was she doing wearing a cloak and looking sneaky in the middle
Ariana's POVI paced around in the room, worried that me and Dylan's argument might cause a little bridge between us, I do not need any kind of space or friction between us, not with Lilith lurking around the corner to pounce.The door opened and Dylan walked in, looking uneasy, "I'm sorry" we both said in unison and paused to stare at each other, he opened his arms and I gladly went into it, relieved that our little argument ended there."Look Ariana, I promise you that Lilith is not who you think she is, if she was dangerous I would not have brought her into the pack"I raised my head and stared at him, "but how would you know whether she is dangerous or not?""Ariana, I am the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack and do you think that I would put my people in danger like that?""It might not be your intention""Give Lilith a chance Ariana, she is just a helpless Omega and if it's because of our mate bond, believe me when I say I want nothing to do with her, the only one I want is you"My s
Author's POVLilith could not believe what Ariana had offered to her on a platter of gold. Perhaps, Ariana was not as smart as she had thought and had fallen for her act, she smiled inwardly as she thought of how best to use this opportunity presented to her. Erasmus will be damn proud of her, she needed Ariana to fall completely into her trap, and by the time she realizes just how much she was hated, it would be too late because she would have carried out her plans and destroyed the pack Right now, she just needed to look for the right opportunity to give Dylan the elixir so that he would be totally under her control.There were whispers as soon as Dylan got to the festival with Lilith, news had reached other packs that the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack had a new mate but they were not too sure how true it was.How could he choose an Omega over his beautiful and powerful wife who risked everything just to be with him? He could have just rejected this mate and kept on with his wife bu
Ariana's POV "Can I have the next dance?" I heard a voice say as soon as the music stopped and I turned to see the Alpha of the Red Moon pack standing behind me.Dylan frowned and I knew he was going to kick the ass of the Alpha that made such a request but before he could say anything, I smiled at the Alpha, "of course" I replied and placed my hand in his.Red Moon pack was one of the strongest packs in the werewolf's kingdom and this was a great opportunity for me to make him an ally, I needed to know those that I could rely on when I sent for themDylan's face was thunderous, he was not too pleased having his Luna in another man's arms, well, he would have to deal with it because what I was doing was for the betterment of our pack.I swayed in the arms of the Alpha of Red Moon pack and he drew me close to him, "you look beautiful tonight" I arched my brow at him as we moved synthetically to the rhythm of the song, "you mean pitiable right? Not beautiful" I replied, testing the wa
Lilith's POVI watched as Dylan finally came downstairs to join in the pack's festival celebration, he had left me at the council's celebration without a second thought and I had to find my way back to the pack.If I did not hate him so much, I would have said that I admired how much he loves his wife, I could say that I was almost jealous of the kind of bond that they both shared, not even the thought that I was also his mate could alter that bond but then, I was furious because their bond was really messing up with my plans and Erasmus was beginning to get agitated and impatient with me.My heart soared when I saw that he was coming downstairs alone, that meant his wife would not be hovering around him like a vulture and messing up my plans.The celebration was ongoing and there was dancing, drinking, and dining in the pack, this was my opportunity to add the elixir to his drink and finally have him eating out of my palms. I quickly poured his favorite French wine into a glass, and
Author's POVDamien paced outside the door where Sam and Ariana were, he was asked by Dylan to protect the ladies while the battle raged outside and he wished he was out there to help his friend, the noise of the battle and howls of wolves filled the air."What's going on?" He asked the werewolf he had sent to check on how the fight was going on outside"They are not dying" the wolf replied with a voice filled with fear and trepidation laced down Damien's spine"What do you mean by they are not dying?" He asked"The wizard's men kept coming back to life, it's as if they have numerous lives, the Alpha even bit the wizard but he stood back up"A soft gasp from behind him had Damien turning around to see Ariana holding onto the doorframe"Luna, what are you doing? You are supposed to be in bed" Damien said and quickly walked toward her"There must be a way to make them die, there must be," Ariana said and stared at Damien, did you find anything when you were captured?Damien shook his he
Lilith gazed around the crowd that had gathered for her supposed wedding with Dylan and was surprised to see the Lycan king and some Alphas from other packs, who had invited them? Were they expecting this wedding? She had proposed the wedding to Dylan only yesterday and it was solely her idea, he would not have had the time to invite them right? There was barely any preparation done.Her nerves were almost frayed with nervousness already and she was so tensed but today was the day she and Erasmus had planned to take over the pack and nothing could stop them. If the Lycan king and the others want to be at the party, then they are welcomed.Where the hell was Dylan? He had asked her to go out while he got the contract, what was taking him so long? Erasmus and his soldiers were set already. She had intentionally not invited the werewolf's council of elders nor had she invited any external pack because she did not want any external complications but somehow, external packs had found thei
Author's POVLilith dashed towards Erasmus's house, she could not wait to tell him the news about her success, by tomorrow, the Blood Moon pack would no longer existShe paused when she got there and saw him screaming angrily outside, something must have upset him this much and she ran the remaining distance toward him"Master, are you okay?" She asked with a worried frown as she gazed around to see what might have upset him this much"Is the deed done?" he asked and turned towards her"Yes, Erasmus, the wedding is set for tomorrow and we shall attack by then, the contract will be signed by then"He narrowed his eyes on her, "the contract has not been signed? What the hell are you still waiting for since you have him under your control""He got sick when he was about to sign it earlier and...""Excuses...I don't care about it, get him to sign it tonight" he clenched out and gazed at her meaningfully, "unless, you have developed a soft spot for him""No way in hell, that will ever happ
Author's POV Damien opened his eyes and groaned in pain, "where am I?" He whispered as he stared around, damn, he was not supposed to go unconscious.He sat up and groaned a little, damn it, he was in so much pain and he had been in and out of this excruciating pain for God knows how long, his head was pounding furiously, "damn you and your wizard Lilith" he muttered and gazed around for anything that he could use to boost himself to a standing position. He felt so weak and his bones cracked in pain as he pushed himself up, he had to get out of there, he hadn't even learned anything about the staff that Ariana spoke about.The room where he was kept was empty and he wondered if the wizard was close by or if he had gone out, he hoped for the latter because right now, he was too weak to fight He slowly moved towards the door but as expected, it was locked from the outside, he placed his ear on the door, listening for sound from the other end but heard none, it would seem like Erasmus
Author's POV "What the hell did you just do?" Dylan screamed at Sam and dashed towards Ariana'she said that was the only way to bring your back""Bring me back from where? Dylan asked as he tried to stop the flow of blood"Let's get her treated first then I'll tell you everything""I'll go and get your husband," Dylan said standing to leave"That's not possible" Sam quickly grabbed his hand to keep him from going outDylan frowned at her impatiently, Look, despite you being my sister-in-law, I should be punishing you for this""Calm down Dylan, first of all, Damien is not available, secondly, you cannot let anyone know about what happened here and lastly, I need you here to help or I might lose a sister and you, a wife. After all, it's your fault that this happened to her"Dylan stared at her in bewilderment, "hang on, how is this my fault? You stabbed her""She asked me to" Samantha replied curtly as she tore Ariana's clothes to view the wound"She asked you to stab her and you jus
Ariana's POV I stretched lazily and could not stop the smile that sprang to my lips as my last escapade with Dylan filtered through my mind.I touched Dylan's side of the bed but he was nowhere to be found, I slowly dressed up and went downstairs.The loud cheers and music that filled the air reminded me that the festival was still ongoing, it was way past midnight and I was sure that those pack of wolves was going to be there until dawnI sighted Dylan seated at the head of his table, enjoying his drink while watching those dancing and cheering, I smiled and made my way toward him"I see that you are enjoying yourself," I said and placed my hands on his shoulders with a small kiss on his cheek"Ariana," he said but made no move whatsoever to return my kiss, he did not seem happy to see me and I frowned"What's wrong?" I asked, puzzled by his odd behavior"Nothing, I am tired and need my rest" he stood up and walked away"What the hell just happened? Why was he suddenly acting cold t
