Ariana's POVI whirled around to see Dylan standing right behind me, why hadn't I felt his presence, perhaps I was too occupied with my thoughts, he took two strides towards me and stared at me, "what won't you tell me?" I looked at Ms. Bennie, who was shaking her head, eyes wide with fear, damn, what was I supposed to do? "Er..er...." He suddenly wrinkled his nose, "cigarette?" His gaze pinned Ms. Bennie, "was that what she wasn't supposed to tell me?" She looked from me to Dylan, realizing the kind of trouble she was in, she quickly knelt, "it was my mistake Sir, please forgive me" damn werewolves, he must have sniffed out the smell, how could I forget that nothing can be hidden from him, although, I wasn't overly fond of Ms. Bennie, I still felt empathy for her, I stared at Dylan, not uttering a word but pleading with him with my eyes to just give her another chance, he took a deep breath, his eyes portraying that he had gotten my message but was in no mood to humor me, damn, if he
Ariana's POVI squealed as Dylan lifted me in his arms as soon as we got to his house, "put me down, someone might see us" I whispered with my eyes scanning around, he put his nose on my shoulder and inhaled deeply, groaning in satisfaction,"I am the boss, no one will question me" he replied as he nibbled my shoulders, I pushed against his chest, "Dylan" he only mumbled as he kept on nibbling my shoulders and earlobe, he kept doing so while walking to his room with me in his arms, he took the front door towards his room and bumped into Ms Greta, "oh I'm so sorry sir.." her eyes widened as she saw me in his arms but she quickly averted her gaze, "No one should come into my room" her gaze went from me to Dylan before replying"yes Sir" and she scurried away, I knew my face was already so red, I flushed from the root of my hair and felt like the ground should just open and swallow me up, Dylan didn't seem to mind that he had just bumped into his housekeeper with me in his arms, "I to
Ariana's POVIt was the day of my big final rehearsals, ever since that last incident, Ms. Bennie had not been responding to my practice, she would just sit and watch me do whatever without any contribution whatsoever, I wondered why she was being so hostile o towards me, I hadn't done anything wrong to her. Today is the day of my big final rehearsals before I'll do my commercial and then it will be aired, although, I had practiced on my own, I was still a nervous wreck, all the models were already seated, waiting to see what I've got that made me to be chosen as the face instead of them, from the corner of my eyes, I saw Samantha smirking, she probably wished I'll fail so I could be replaced."Where is the fashion stylist please?" I managed to rasp in my nervousness and Olivia came forward with her makeup kit and did a retouch on me."Don't be nervous, you look beautiful and on the day of your come out, You will look extremely Smashy" she winked at me before moving out from the stage,
Ariana's POV"Nervous?" Olivia asked and I met her eyes through the mirror, the day has finally arrived, cameras, press, staff, and the boards were already seated and waiting to see the new face of the fashion bureau, I nodded at Olivia's question, I was indeed very nervous, I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I look scared, otherwise there was only reflection of beauty, I took some minute to admire my beauty, Olivia had done a great job, I couldn't believe that the once ugly duckling was the one staring back at me, "You look beautiful" Olivia said, resting her hands on my shoulders. A knock sounded on the door, we both stared at each other, "I guess it's time" I whispered nervously and she nodded, "don't be so nervous, besides, the boss is there for you" I nodded at that reassurance, Dylan's presence will do a lot to calm my nerves, I have to go look for him," do me a favor please, can you help me check if he's already there?""What, he should be there already, no need to worr
Ariana's POV I tried to grab my locket but my hands refused to obey me, Samantha quickly came in front of me and kicked the locket out of reach, "The real face of this woman is about to be exposed, you all will find out that she's nothing but a freak, meet Ariana, the witch" she moved away so that everyone would see me, all eyes were gazing at me as I stayed on the floor on both my hands and knees like I was about to crawl. I felt a rush in my veins, it felt like my blood was boiling hot, my veins were burning, I felt hot, sweats were already dripping from my body, memories bombarded me and suddenly, everything seem too loud and noisy, I held my head to stop it from bursting, that was exactly how it felt, like it was about to burst, pictures of my mother being torn apart by a wolf flashed in, "Nooooo" I screamed wishing the pain will go away, visions of Dylan and Myla hugging, him telling her he loves her flashed in, the pains erupted, I felt myself floating upwards, I was gradually
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
