Ariana's POV "He's got me too," Damien said from beside me and then Sam, his gaze pinned me on the spot and he didn't take his eyes away, not even to acknowledge his friend's words, he rose, slowly from the ground and winced, I quickly ran to him, "Are you okay?" I ran my hands all over him to assure myself that he was fully recovered, he held my hands to stop me, "I am okay" he said simply still holding my gaze, I tried to read his thoughts but he was staring at me blankly, he was probably still hurt by my betrayal, my heart echoed his pain, there was so much left for is to talk about and so much yearning too for each other but all of that will have to wait, until Chase is dead, neither of us can find peace, I slowly went closer to Chase, "he has got me" Chase nodded, "I see, only death awaits you too" he waved his hand for his men to attack us and the came, from all corners, Damien growled, teeth bared and launched into fight, snapping and breaking bones, I tilt my neck and gu
Ariana's POVMy eyes snapped open, I was lying on a bed in a darkened room, I heard a faint sound by my right and I slowly turned my head to see Dylan standing by the window, the expression on his face was grave and everything came rushing back to me in an instant"Aidan" The thought of my son popped into my head and I closed my eyes and tried to bring him into focus but everything was blank, no, it couldn't be, I had given him an enchanted amulet so that I could easily connect with him after the fight, why can't I see him? I closed my eyes and tried once more but everything was still blank, what was going on?"Aidan" I screamed and in an instant, Dylan was beside me"I can't connect with our son, why can't I see where he is with my powers? Why is everything so blanked?" I asked him as panic set in I pointed at the bedside lamp and tried to make the light go off with my powers but nothing happened, have I lost my powers?"Shhh, perhaps you are just tired, I'm sure you can use your po
Dylan's POVMy body tensed in alert, "Who is there?" I called out, I opened my hyperhearing and waited for a moment, then I heard it again, a twig broke and a shadow appeared and I pounced"Please don't kill me" a voice screeched from underneath me and I stilled, it was the voice of a lady, I eyed her warily and slowly got off her"Please don't kill me, save me" she pleaded, her voice was filled with terror and her eyes widened, under the moonlight, I could see that her clothes were torn and she had bruises all over, her finger trembled as she pointed into the dark behind me just as I felt that we are not alone, I whirled around just as a dark wolf appeared "Rogue" I snarled and immediately changed my form, it was just a matter of minutes before I stood up and stared at the dead rogue at my feet"I...is he dead?" She whimpered and clung to my arm, her eyes darting around in fear as if she was expecting more of them, I could already see she was an Omega, as I stared at her face in the
Ariana's POVI slowly opened my eyes the next day, and the sun was already high in the sky, "damn" I muttered, I planned on going to seek for solution to my problem, I heard there was a wizard who lives in a creek outside of Blood moon pack, perhaps, he could tell me what I need to do to get my powers back or at least, use his powers to locate my son. I got out of bed and quickly showered. I went downstairs to see the maids hovering around a girl I had never seen before, they were whispering and giggling"Who are you?" I asked and all the maids immediately scurried away, the girl quickly stood up from the table and stared at me, her violet-colored eyes were unsure of how to answer, and a reluctant smile crept to her lips"Er...my name is Lilith, who are you please?"I felt disgusted by her question, "I am the Luna of this pack, now, how did you get here"Her eyes widened even more and she quickly rushed to where I was standing and knelt down in front of me, " The Alpha rescued me yest
Ariana's POVI felt a shake and water was sprinkled on my face, I coughed and opened my eyes, at first, I was disoriented, I gazed around to see that I was in a kind of palace and surrounded by people that I hadn't seen before. Memory came rushing back, I was crying alone in the forest, and suddenly, a sack was thrown over my head, does this mean that I have been kidnapped? I quickly sat up"Who are you and why have you brought me here?" I queried, although my heart was filled with fear, I tried to keep a bold face"You are awake" a voice boomed and the others quickly bowed and paved way for who was obviously their king, slowly he came into view"Should we take her to his room, Your Majesty? Time is running out" one of the men who came in with him askedI frowned, "your majesty?" Only one person was being referred with that title in the whole of Wolves kingdom and that was the LYCAN'S kingMy eyes widened and took in his imposing presence, "the Lycan king?" I asked unconsciously and h
Dylan's POVI felt so hurt and confused by Ariana's sudden change, it had been two days since I had rested while searching for her, I was terrified that something had happened to her and was ready to do anything to get her back even if it meant going to war with the Lycan's, although, that would not be the best choice right now considering that we are still recovering from the effect of the last war. How did she end up with the Lycans, it hurts that she had refused to come with me.I thought with time, she would be alright and we could be as we were before but that wasn't the case because she was even more distant from me than ever and my wolf was suffering the most from her continual rejection"Are you okay?" Lilith asked, her voice was filled with concern I glanced at her and nodded, she had insisted on coming with me even though I asked her not to, but she still followed behind, she did not want to leave her mate alone. I felt sorry for her, she must be going through a lot seeing
Ariana's POVI waved at the Lycan king as he dropped me off in front of the Blood Moon pack, I had stayed with the Lycans for a few days before I decided to go back home and he had insisted on bringing me back himself.Dylan smiled at me from the doorway but as expected, he was standing with his new mate"Ariana, you're finally back, I've missed you," he said as he walked towards me, a part of me missed him too but a larger part of me was very much upset with him and did not believe a word he said, he opened his arms to embrace me but unconsciously, I stiffened, being in his arms right now will make me crumble and I do not want to fall apart, not in front of him and never in front of Lilith"Ariana?" He asked when I didn't return his hug, "Are you still mad at me?"I broke out of his embrace, "I am tired Dylan, I need to rest" I took a step away from him and he grabbed my hand, "Can we talk?""Not now Dylan, I am so tired" I replied and walked passed him"Welcome back Luna" Lilith sa
Samantha's POVI opened my eyes and slowly gazed around, at first, everything was in a blur but my vision gradually cleared, and the beeping of the monitor alerted me that I was in a hospital. The door opened and Damien walked in, looking so worried, "finally, thank God that you are awake" he rushed towards me and checked my pupils, "I was so worried" Relief echoed in his voice as he grabbed my hands"When did you get back?" I asked, I had to force the words out of my mouth because my throat felt patched and dried"Some hours ago, I met you unconscious on our room floor""What is wrong with me?" I asked, he is the pack's doctor after all, and by now, he must have deciphered what was wrongHe gently brushed his fingers against my cheek, "you are pregnant Sam,"My heart skipped a bit and joy flooded my heart, "a baby my love, I am going to have your baby" I said in excitement and tried to sit up but Damien held me "You shouldn't bother, you are still very weak"I noticed that he was se
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
