Ariana's POV"What do you mean by that?" I felt chilled, I had just encountered my mother's killer and couldn't identify him, "Who is he?" I whispered in trepidation, seeming to know who the person would be but still needed confirmation, he waved his hands and I stared at the image projected before me, "the TV guy" I whispered, "His name is Dylan Sabastine" I looked at Eric, confused, "but what crime did my mother commit?" "The rich don't care about the poor" tears trickled down my cheeks when I remembered how cruelly my mother had been killed, I would have died that day but was rescued by a hunter, the scars were still on my arm to prove my near death from the hands of that cruel man, "Back in the days, witches and werewolves never get along, I guess he found out your mother was a witch""Was that enough reason to get her killed?" I wailed, "my mom would never hurt a flea. I'm going to avenge my mother's death, a life for a life and I'm going to do so right now""Wait, this is not
Damien's POVI stared at my brooding friend, wishing there was some way that I could alleviate his pain, I understand that feeling, what is meant for a wolf to lose its mate, that suffocating crushing pain, I had felt that way when I lost Ophelia, a part of me just died along with her, I wish I was the one dead instead of her and waking up each morning to the memory of her demise was so unappealing. I patted his back, "We'll get her back, at least your mate is still alive" he looked at me with eyes filled with pain, "it's more painful to live with your mate's hatred" "I'm sorry man, I understand" he sighed tiredly and sat, "how's your patient""He's fine now, thanks to you, I was able to treat him" "Now that he's fine, are you going back to the pack" I nodded at his question, "but after you've gotten back Ariana,""Thanks"It hits me suddenly that I was through with treating my patience and would have to return, how time flies, I thought of Samantha and decided I'll take her out on
Samantha's POVIt's been days since that incident and I haven't heard nor seen Damien, I was alive but the pain inside of me wouldn't let me live, I was just a shadow of myself, I caught myself crying most times at odd places, one day, I was walking down the road and saw a couple, holding hands and looking all loved up, I suddenly wished it was I and Damien and then, I remembered that he was gone from my life forever, tears trickled down my cheeks without me realizing it, a passerby had to express her sympathy towards my state before I realized that I had been crying, my heart hurts so badly and I regretted ever falling in love. I had never fallen in love before and now that I did, it had to be with a man who was still so much in love with his dead fiancee.I was walking on the road on my way home, I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize I had entered the main road, the steady honk of a car jerked me from my reverie and in an attempt to move out of the way, I fell by the way
Samantha's POV I screamed as another arrow whizzed past my ear, Damien quickly grabbed my hand, "run!!!" "What's going on? Why are they shooting at us and who are they?""Just do as I say and nothing will happen to you" that wasn't a satisfying answer but this wasn't the time to insist on an answer, so I nodded and started running alongside him with my hand tightly clasped in his, "This way!" He shouted, leading me to a very narrowed and steepled road, "there's a cave up ahead" he was now walking behind me on the narrowed road, his presence somehow calmed my racing heart, he has a way of making someone feel safe even in the midst of danger, "hurry up" he said with urgency and I quickened my steps, I could already see the cave and I made a dash towards it but I slipped and twisted my ankle, I screamed in pain and would have fallen but he caught me just as I was about to reach the ground, "Are you okay" his concerned gaze stared at me and I nodded and started to walk towards the cav
I observed him pacing back and forth in front of the building, and for a brief moment, a strange sense of déjà vu washed over me. I shook off the feeling, but it left me with an eerie sense of foreboding.His head snapped up when the sound of my approaching footsteps reached him. He hurried toward me and grasped my arms."I've been waiting for you, Ariana," he said.I pushed him away, my voice laced with a mix of frustration and curiosity, "What are you doing here?"He replied with urgency, "I need to talk to you." Despite my resistance, he pulled me back."I don't wish to speak with you," I declared, trying to break free from his grasp."I won't give up on you, Ariana," he pleaded, his words carrying a tone of hope. I couldn't help but wonder why he continued to act as if there was something between us when I felt no love for him."I'm telling you to stop referring to us as if we ever had a relationship; it's futile. I want you to know right now that I don't love you," I asserted. His
Damien's POVI had just turned on the television to watch Dylan's conference only to see the horror that had just taken place, Ariana had stabbed Dylan and he had howled and transformed right in his press conference, that dagger must have been made from wolfsbane, otherwise, why would he transform? Myla showed up just as I reached there, "No! Dylan please, open your eyes" I stopped on my track, terrified at the sight before me, Dylan was howling painfully with eyes closed, gasping for breathe in between, such pain, it just pierced my heart, I could hear the whispers, "A freak, Dylan Sabastine is an alien, he is a damn monster" such gullible humans, being a wolf doesn't mean he's a monster, "He has been stabbed on his heart with a wolfsbane dagger" Myla cried, stabbed on the heart with a wolfsbane dagger is fatal, he can't survive it, "Help me Damien, he can't die, I can't let him die" I moved my already stiffen legs towards him, "Where are you guys taking him? he deserves to die a
Ariana's POV "How can you be so cruel? How could you kill Dylan?" Samantha ranted as soon as I got to her, she looked mad as hell and she has every right to be, Dylan is her friend"Dylan is not dead but will soon be dead if we don't do something, where is Damien? I came here in hope that I would see him""So that you could kill him as well? I am not telling you where he is" I felt exasperated but I couldn't blame her, I would react the same way if I was in her shoes."Come on Sam, Eric used me when I found out that Dylan was cheating on me, I took an elixir to forget about him but Eric took advantage of the situation and put a seal on my love for him, I was emotionless towards him but as soon as I stabbed him, I don't know how but I felt his pain and then, I suddenly regained my memory of him and threw up the seal, I am sorry for whatever happened, please, I don't want him dead" She eyed me warily as if contemplating whether to believe me or not, "Dylan can never cheat on you, how
Ariana's POVI stared hard at him, "are you going to stop me?""Tsk, tsk, I knew that you were up to something and I was right, so you think you can kill me?""I can and I will, why do you have to betray your own kind? Why Eric?"He laughed psychopathically, "I did it for something more precious, you can't begin to imagine ""For what, what could be more precious than having your own kind? What do you stand to gain from this wicked act of yours?""Everything, I stand to gain the power of immortality, I'll get the immortality pearl and I'll be an immortal, invincible, now, that's everything to me" was there really something like that? If there was, why would the alpha release it, guessing from how greedy he is, I'm sure he would also want to be an immortal, "you're so pathetic to think that if such a thing exists that he would give it to you?""The same way you think that I am going to let you leave here" I need to see Samantha and right now, there wasn't much time left, right now, Dyla
