“Oh lord! Not again!” Ariel yelled out for the whole world to hear. Her best friend in the other part of the world was watching her lose control, and as tempting as it was to laugh at her predicament, she knew that Ariel wouldn’t find it funny.“What happened?”“I can’t find a dress to wear.” Ariel exhaled loudly, her hands flopping down to her side. She had been rummaging through her wardrobe in search of something presentable to wear to her date.“Calm down, Ari; the date isn’t till tomorrow.”“I know, but I need to get a dress now and try it on to know if it is okay, or I will have to go shopping.” She picked out a Chanel dress she had gotten to mark her graduation from college, but she was shaking her head. “No, too boring.”At this point, Claudia couldn’t resist the urge to roll her eyes. “You are doing too much, Ari. You could show up in sweatpants, and this man will still think you are the most beautiful woman that walked the face of the earth.”“You don’t know that.” She ran h
He was lying.She didn’t just like it; she loved it—the feel of his soft lips on hers moving like the waves had her forgetting about the people in the room with them.The world seemed to melt away, leaving only them.A soft hum escaped her as his hands caressed her neck, sending delicious shivers down her spine. He poured all the love and tenderness into the kiss, and she was floating on the horizon she had painted.But it was ending too soon, and his lips left her so painfully that she whined, longing for more.Kane noticed her demeanor, and he smiled, his fingers coming to trace her lips. “We could continue back at home. If you want.” He added as an afterthought, and Ariel averted her eyes, instead focusing it on her painting.The thoughts she was having were quite unholy, and they do not belong in this kind of setting.“We still have some wine left.” She picked up her wine glass, twirling it as a means to disperse the sexual tension between them.“Yeah,” he gestured to the waiter,
“What have you done?”The man at the door was like nothing she had known; he was seething, his mouth pressed in a thin line, and the worst was that it was all directed towards her.“I don’t understand Toby. What did I do?” Ariel’s brain was still jumbled from waking up from sleep before her wake time, and that was the easiest way to get her pissed.“Your Instagram.”“What happened to my Instagram?" She peeped my head outside, her eyes scanning the hallways for anyone that may be passing. These werewolf folks are very notorious for eavesdropping, and the last thing she wanted them to know was about their talk.“You posted Kane on your wall last night.” He said, and now she became pissed. Ariel slightly tilted her head to the side, her brain still trying to process why that should be the reason he was angry.“And if I did, how does that concern you?” She folded her arms below her breast, quite aware of how transparent her nightwear is, but she refused to acknowledge it.There were might
“Toby has told me everything.” Kane confirmed her fears, but he had craftily forgotten (omitted) to add how he had almost strangled Toby when he found out the real truth.“Okay?” Ariel tightened her arms around her torso, providing a shield for her.“May I come in?” Kane asked, and Ariel pursed her lips, not sure she wanted to spend the next few minutes confined in the same room with him, especially with how her hormones were raging.“I guess so.” She shrugged her shoulders, moving aside and letting him enter inside.Just as she suspected, his aura filled the room, leaving no room for any intruder. His scent filled her nose, her brain, and her entire being, clouding her mind until all she could think was him.Snap out of it, Ariel. She was trying to will herself not to do something crazy, but it was nearly impossible.She was awfully aware that she was ovulating, and each cycle came with its own symptoms, but this time, all she wanted was to hump anything that had a cock.It has been
Ariel groggily opened her eyes, blinking at the haze that had been preventing her from opening them. A deep frown was set on her face, her brain working at full power as she tried to recall how she got into the position.Her eyes lazily focused on the intricate details of the ceiling before they shifted to another part of the room and settled there.She sat up on her bed, a terrible mistake on her part, as she was struck with a terrible headache. Ariel clutched her head in pain, gently lowering herself back to the bed.Her hands were under her pillow, sweeping under it as she looked for her phone. There were lapses in her memory; she couldn’t even recall how she got here, and the phone should help.“Oh shit!” She murmured under her breath as she held the phone in her hands, the coldness startling her. She pressed the power button, but after several attempts and the blank screen being all she could see, she was searching for a power outlet.“Ariel.” Kane’s call came as he opened the do
“Ariel?” A feminine voice was screaming at her while they ran as they tried to evade the falling blocks. Her sight was distorted by the debris and dust that clouded the air. “Ariel?” The screams were getting loud and guttural, and she was torn between rescuing herself or answering the call.“What?” She yelled at the person. She shielded her face, barely opening her eyes as sand particles flew to her face.“Please don’t go; stay with me.” The voice cried out in a sorrowful tone that tugged at her heart strings.“Who are you?” Ariel yelled back at the voice; the manner in which the person spoke had a hint of familiarity. “I am coming.”Ariel began to run towards the voice, throwing her limbs out in a bid to reach the person. But the closer she ran towards the person, the farther they seemed to be, until it was just a figment of her imagination and she was standing in a dark room all alone.“Ariel?” This time it was a male voice, and she froze. There was a familiarity to it that had goos
Ariel flinched as the door shut, the sound startling her. It was a struggle to remain on the bed when all she wanted to do was run to meet him and beg him to stay.But he needed to learn.She tried to assure herself that she was doing the right thing, but why did it feel like the wrong decision? He may be the alpha over everyone here, but he wasn’t her alpha.They were just dating, and he couldn’t treat her however he wanted. If everyone fears him here or is afraid to call out his bullshit, she would be the odd one out.With that determination, Ariel lowered herself to the bed, draping the blanket over her body, and she stretched her hand, reaching for her phone.She squinted as the bright light from the phone startled her, but her eyes slowly adjusted, and she checked the time. It was still some hours until dawn, but she was too afraid to close her eyes.She couldn’t shake the eerie feeling she got, and something told her there was more to see than she knew. She ended up staring at t
“Can I sleep here, please?” Ariel asked in a soft voice, afraid that Kane would turn her down. But that was one fear that could never materialize.However, Kane took some seconds to reply, only because he was still trying to process his thoughts, and Ariel took his silence for rejection. “I promise I will not disturb you. I just had a horrible dream, and I don’t think I can sleep in my room for now. You were the only one I could think of, hence the reason I am here.” The words were pouring out of her mouth like a flowing tap.Kane, however, was beside himself with joy, unable to contain himself as he heard his mate’s request, and he chuckled, his laughter reaching his mate’s ears.Ariel scrunched her face in a frown, holding the blanket tighter as she braved herself for a rejection.“Of course, darling, you don’t need any reason to be here. You are welcome anytime.”Ariel melted from his kind words, and her lips tugged upwards, revealing a small smile. “Thank you.”Kane watched as she
