Author's POV
Ariana walked into the fashion bureau with Dylan, she cringed at the whispers and stares she got and felt like the ground should open and swallow her up, with heads bowed, she followed Dylan straight to his office with heads bowed but he suddenly stopped by the door and she bumped into him, she heard him hissed in anger before turning suddenly to face her, his eyes flashing fire, "will you for a moment not be clumsy?" He hissed and she cowered, "I...I'm sorry" she stuttered and he gritted his teeth, "can't you say a word without stuttering?" Heads still bowed, she kept quiet, she doesn't understand why he was being so angry with her today, without another word, he went in and she meekly followed and watched as he sat behind his desk. "It's time for my coffee" he stared at her straight in the eyes and she quickly averted hers, he had told her never to stare at him in the eyes, he frowned when she made no move to go get his coffee, "is something wrong?" Her eyeAriana's POVI have been in the dressing room for what seemed like decades before I heard footsteps, I quickly got up from my sitting position and ran to the door in an attempt to pound on it for help but to my amazement, I twisted the handle and it suddenly opened revealing Dylan's angry face, "so you came here to hide to avoid your work" he yelled, my heart raced as I stared at him, trying to explain myself, "no, no, I would never do that, I was locked in, I pounded on the door but it seemed like no one was nearby"He raised his brow in disbelief, "let's say I want to believe you, what are you doing here in the first place?" I quickly remembered the file he had sent me to get, I quickly rushed to where I left it and brought it to him, "here is your file, I came to get it for you as instructed" his eyes darkened and there was that glow again in it whenever he's really angry, I took a step backward as he walked towards me menacingly, "And what am I supposed to do with th
Dylan's POVI paced my room in anger, I couldn't explain what had just happened, one minute it was Myla's face that I was seeing and the next minute I was inside Ariana, the feel of her supple flesh zapped through my memory and I growled at the image, I walked out and went into the woods, pulling my clothes, I let my wolf out, I could feel it's claws and furs as it took over, it jumped out happily and howled, it's sense of smell heightened by the change, he caught a whiff of something, more like a faint smell of witch but it was gone before he could be sure about it. it took off, a predator preying the woods, it was dawn before Icame back to where I had kept my clothes, changing back into human form, I quickly wore it and walked inside, I passed through Ariana's door and paused, I knew she had cried all night, I suddenly felt like apologizing for what happened but what was the use, it wasn't gonna change anything, "mark her, make her yours" I heard my wolf say
Ariana's POVIt's been a week since that incident, a week since I've set my eyes on Dylan, he's probably avoiding me but I don't care a bit, in fact, I am grateful for that because I don't think I wanna see him either. I was in my room pondering on my role as his slave after that last incident when the door burst open to reveal Dylan's angry face, "oh! he's always angry" I thought to myself and he growled making me wonder if he has heard my thoughts, I stared at him with a feeling of indifference, "why ain't you dressed, get your ass down to the office today" he snapped and I was suddenly filled with indignation but held myself from giving him a befitting reply, I simply rolled my eyes at him and saw his eyes narrowed, "don't test my patience" he whispered fiercely, I stood there looking at him, hoping he'll get the hint and move away for me to get dressed, "so? What the hell are you still waiting for?" He thundered as his face darkened, "I would have gotten dressed if you'd al
Ariana's POVI didn't stop running until I reached the dressing room and firmly shut the door behind me, I took a deep even breathe and wiped my eyes with the back of my hands, my eyes quickly scanned the room and I felt relieved that it was empty, I needed this time alone, I let my knees fold as I dropped to the floor and placed my head between my knees and allowed the tears to flow, this life is just so unfair and I was feeling tired of it already, no one love me neither do any care for me, I'm all alone, I wish I had someone I can talk to but I wasn't supposed to be alone, I have a father and a sister but their ill-treatment of me, while I was staying with them, made my stomach churn, I wish Sam could show me at least a little bit of love, a little bit of support but neither she nor my dad had even shown concern when I was taken in as a slave by Dylan. Dylan, he has treated me with as much contempt as he could ever since the incident of him laying with me, I was supposed to
Ariana's POVOne minute I was standing on the road, waiting for the truck to hit me and end my miserable life, and the next minute I was in my angry master's arms, where did he come from, and how had he managed to move that fast? Why did he save me? I just wanted to die, what would he matter to him if I'm dead anyway."You should be happy he saved you, he doesn't bother himself with other people, let alone a common slave" I glanced up to see a brunette with large brown eyes staring at me, she was dressed in a red gown with Sillitoe's, she looked classy enough. I had noticed her earlier with Dylan and wondered who she could be, she must have read my thoughts because she suddenly smiled, crossing her arms across her chest, "I'm Myla, Dylan's girlfriend" she stood looking at me as if waiting for a response or reaction from me, her eyes narrowed as she glared at me, "don't you ever play such cheap pranks ever again to get his attention with that she stomps off leaving he
Dylan's POVMy wolf sense kicked in when the car went nose dive down the cliff, I could hear the rushing of water beneath us and knew we were about to plunge into the water very soon, that gave me some measure of relief, there's a chance of us surviving. I wasn't afraid of dying but for some reason I don't want any harm to come to Ariana, ironic that I had saved her from death earlier only to see another death threat facing her, I shook off the thought, I would die before I let anything happen to her, I frowned at the fierceness of my vow, what was wrong with me? I'll have time to analyze that later, for now, I have to get her to safety. I turned to her, her gaze was horror-filled and she was chanting some words, when I turned to hear what she was saying, I was stunned to hear her chanting " I don't wanna die..." I almost laughed out loud despite our horrible situation, how ironic that earlier she had wanted to kill herself and I saved her,now she was chanting I don't wanna die w
Ariana's POVWe walked on in silence and I wondered how we could ever get out of these woods, we were in the middle of nowhere, I gazed at his profile, he looks stoic and confident, so unafraid and I felt safe with him, I frowned, wondering why I should be feeling safe with a man who took me in as his slave and took my innocence so brutally, sure, he had saved my life twice in a day, maybe he did it so that he would continue torturing me, an odd feeling sat on my chest as I watched, I found myself yearning to have things I shouldn't be dreaming of having with him, what's happening to me? Why would I be thinking of this cold man? My mind flashed to the warmth I had felt earlier when I was unconscious, how secured I had felt, perhaps he wasn't so cold as I thought, I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't notice he had stopped walking, I bumped into him and would have fallen if he hadn't caught me just in time, "watch it" I heard him growled as he stared at me,
Ariana's POVI was tensed and pacing where Dylan had left me, I was so damn worried, I hope he's okay, what was taking him so long to return? Maybe I should go to him, I was just trying on what to do when a big black creature jumped out from nowhere and came right at me, I screamed as its powerful foot hit my head and clawed at my face, my head swarm and I watched as the ground rushed to meet my face, I could feel blood trickle down from the side of my face, the wolf placed it's powerful paw on my chest, ready to divide me into two, I knew that this was it for me, so this is how I would die? Being torn into pieces by a wolf that I don't even know where it came from, "Dylan, I hope this horrible wolf has not seen him, oh God! Nothing should happen to him, please save him, even if I die here, I'll be happy to know that he's safe and sound" I could feel the wolf's claw on my chest, a sharp pain erupted, I was badly injured but I wasn't even thinking of myself, I was thinking of Dy
