Ariana's POVI opened my eyes in the same room I had woken up before, it was dark and dimly lit. I sat up in shock that I was still alive and hissed as pain aced up my sleeves, how did I survive? "What the hell were you trying to do to yourself?" Eric disengaged from the shadows and walked up to me, shaking my shoulders forcefully, I hadn't noticed that he was there, his face was enraged in the shadows but I simply do not care how he felt, I was only angry as to why he had to bring me back to this suffocating pain "Why did you save me?" I lashed out, pounding on his chest, he held my wrist, "You're gonna reopen your stitches" he bit out and I snatched my hand from his grasp, "let me go, what I choose to do to myself is no business of yours" I fumed getting up from the bed, I walked towards the door but he grabbed me back, I fought against him furiously, in my anger, I felt a strange power overtaking me, that strange rush I had felt in fashion bureau of, I pointed at him with all fi
Ariana's POV I felt strange, it felt as if I was missing something but I don't know what, I was alone in the room, I stood up and quietly walked downstairs, Eric was preparing something very delicious, my stomach growled and I followed the aroma straight to the kitchen, I was starved, he turned when he heard my footsteps, "You are awake, dinner will soon be ready""What are you preparing, it smells so good""You'll see, just be seated, I'm almost through with my cooking" he came in just as I was about to sit and placed a plate before me, "venison" he smiled at my glee as he took a seat for himself, "It was your mom's favorite too" I felt a pang of sadness at the mention of my mom, I miss her a lot and I miss my sister also, she's my only remaining family, now that my memory has returned, I remember I had made my mother a promise that I'll take care of her, "I need to go and see my sister" Eric's head snapped up and he stared at me, "huh! Alright but not now, you need to be equipped
Ariana's POVIt's been weeks since I last saw Samantha, I hope she's doing fine, I want to meet her so that she could see that I am okay, I'm just here learning spells and how to use my power as when I'm through, I will be back to her as soon as possible, I understand why she hates me but I had promised mother that no matter what, I will be there for her and that was exactly what I had planned to do, Eric had brought me here for my safety when my powers had manifested, he had saved my life back there, otherwise, who knows what could have happened, I wondered why I had gotten so enraged that night, what must have happened to me? I felt like there was a hollow inside of me, I carried my hood, perhaps what I needed now is to be with a family member, I thought as I put it in to avoid being seen by anyone and be recognized, but it turned out I was a witch, after all, it was no winder that Samantha had always referred to me as a freak, I'll go to her now and apologize for every. I bumped int
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
