Author's POV
Dylan smiled to himself as he thought of Ariana, he was ready to take their relationship to another level, no more the relationship between a master and a slave but that of a man and a woman, "I'm ready to accept and Ariana Lien, I love her" I whispered to my wolf and I felt it's joy, I was finally accepting a mate for him after so many years of estranging myself from love and relationships, he was practically singing in Glee, "why don't we give her a romantic dinner out today" Lien suggested and I almost laugh out loud at it's exuberant, "Slow down, will ya" I admonished softly"Don't wanna slow down anymore, I've waited long enough" I smiled, he had indeed waited long enough, now I am ready to open my heart and accept love once more, to accept what I am feeling for my slave, "alright! We'll take her out for dinner but first, we'll need to get her some good clothes don't you think?""Great idea" I almost rolled my eyes at his immediate excited response,Ariana's POVHis lips sought mine hungrily, I felt his tongue invaded my lips, he kissed me passionately, right there in his courtyard, where anyone could see, at first, I tried to push him away but as I set my palms on his chest, I couldn't help but run it through his chest, he was all pack of muscles, I felt liquid pooled in my stomach he caressed my mouth with his tongue, a slight gasp escaping my mouth as my feet left the ground, he lifted me in his powerful arms and headed towards his room, not breaking the kiss,I was grateful that we didn't encounter Ms. Greta on our way, neither did we encounter any servant, he pushed his room door opened and deposited me on his king sized bed like a sack of potatoes, he followed me right down, deepening the kiss, his mouth devoured mine as his hand roamed over my body, I made no further attempt to stop him, I was weak and vulnerable before him, my body and soul yearns for him and craved his every touch, this was unlike our first encount
Ariana's POVI opened my eyes and stretched lazily on the bed, memories of what had transpired between me and Dylan assorted me and I blushed, my body felt pleasured, I could hear the shower running and guessed he was in the shower, I glanced at the bedtime clock, it was well into the night, I pulled off the blanket as I made to stand up and was met with my naked flesh, I became self-conscious of my nakedness and picked my cloth that was lying carelessly on the floor, I was just about to put it on when he came in only with a towel wrapped around his waist, I didn't hear the shower stop, unconsciously, my hand went to my breast, trying to shield it from his gaze, I saw his brow ache at my action, "isn't it too late for that?"I swallowed as he drew near, tearing the cloth away from my grip and throwing it away, "that's my cloth" I said weakly, feeling bare as I feel the night air against my naked flesh, "I know" he answered, as a matter of fact, putting his hands on my shou
Ariana's POVimmediately we entered his company, I felt the aura was not as it used to be, workers were staring at me discreetly, I could feel I met some of their eyes and they quickly averted it, they greeted Dylan politely as usual but their eyes were on me, what was going on, have they somehow found out about Dylan and me? I heard someone whisper "looked at her" and then hissed maliciously, Dylan must have heard that too because he suddenly stopped, his eyes blazed as he stared towards the direction of where the sound had come from, "who the hell did that?" He thundered, there was absolute silence, even a pin could be heard if it drops, they all stared at each other, fear clearly written on their faces, "do I have to repeat my question? The more I repeat it the more the consequences will be for whoever did that and if I don't get who did that, all of you here will have to pay on the behalf of that person" there were murmurs as eyes turned to a particular lady, she must
Eric's POVI knew I was taking a risk by going against him so openly but damn, I couldn't control my anger, I was so blinded by it that I acted on an impulse, to Ariana he is her love but to me, he's her biggest threat, I saw surprise flashed across his face when I seized him by the collar but it was immediately replaced by anger, I threw a blow at him but much to my chagrin, he easily dodged it, that moment, blinded by hatred and anger, yes, hatred was exactly what I feel for him, pure, undiluted hatred for this werewolf and it makes me mad that I can't kill him, at least, not in this lifetime and the reason for that is an age-long connection between the both of us, I could only inflict pain on him but I wasn't able to take his life, I lack the power for that, I threw caution into the wind and risk of being discovered, I decided to make some mantras of pain-inflicting spells.Dylan's POVI was at first taken aback when my office door was suddenly thrown open reckle
Ariana's POVI tore my mouth away from his after a moment of enjoying his sweet kisses, "what are you doing? Someone might see" I whispered glancing around, he chuckled but said nothing as he simply claimed my lips in another round of kisses, his arm went around my waist drew me closer to that we are touching chest to breast, his tongue explored my mouth and his hand went down, I heard the sound of his zipper and once more I tried to stop him, we are in his office of Pete's sake, he didn't budge when I tried pushing him away, his hand rather went to my skirt and raised it up, pushing my panties aside, he quickly positioned me so that I lay with my back in his desk and without another word, slide into me, I gasped at the sweet penetration and quickly forgot about the fact that we are in his office, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pounded into me, I moaned my pleasure as his tempo increased before he got his own release, again, there was that tiny bite he made against my s
Ariana's POVI huffed angrily as I entered my office, "how could he make such a drastic decision without informing me first?" I rolled my eyes as I paced in my office, but the thought of being the face of the company's calendar is exciting just as it was scary, my heart skipped a bit just thinking of it, "gosh! I'm gonna mess it up for him, for goodness sake, I'm not even pretty""No, I can do it..." A knock sounded on my door interrupting my thoughts and the knob slowly turned to reveal Mr. Aziz, the messenger, he walked in when I beckoned for him to come in but stood beside the door looking all scared and nervous, I was puzzled by his action, why was he here and why was he looking so nervous? He stretched his hands towards me only then did I realize he was holding a piece of paper which he was now handing over to me, I slowly walked towards him and collected it, "what's this and who sent it?" His eyes only widened at my question, why was he behaving strangely? He s
Ariana's POVI walked beside Dylan into the building as his name was announced that he had arrived, eyes turned towards the door, gosh, they even had to announce his arrival, I felt so self conscious as we were led to the seat reserved for him, I sat in a huff and took a deep breath as I tested my wobbling legs, thank God I didn't insist on wearing those heels, the way my legs are shaky, I would have fallen straight on my face and further disgraced myself, "relax, they don't bite anyone in here" Dylan's tone was filled with amusement and I rolled my eyes, he just wouldn't get it, my eyes took I'm the decor if the big room, the high chandeliers and marbled floor, soft music were playing and there are waiters and waitresses all up and doing, just as soon as we were seated, Dylan was approached and asked what brand of wine he would like to have, the women were all dressed in different kind of beautiful gowns, like those shown in operas,I almost smiled broadly when I realized that
Dylan's POVI saw her standing alone and obviously wiping tears from her eyes, I gritted my teeth, I'll deal with whoever was responsible for those tears, I quickly walked towards her, the moon was high in the sky and I felt myself changing when the rays fell on me, "what the ...!" And then it hit me, how could I possibly forget that today was the night of the new moon, it was no longer a surprise to me about why the hunters were here, it would be expected that on this day, werewolves would not be able to hide their forms, this was the day that every werewolf needed to be careful and here I was, like a fool, now I'll not only be in danger, I've managed to also put Ariana in danger and my secret would now be revealed right before her, I needed to get my ass outta here Asap, I could feel my furs on my skin and my paws already at the tip of my fingers, no! I can't turn into a wolf right now, "lien, help me please, I don't need you out" I whispered to my wolf, "I can't control it, you kn
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
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
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
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
