The full moon had come and gone, the effect it had bought had subsided, and the pack had gone back to their normal routine.

All except for Ariel.

Since they stepped into the new house, she had been haunted by a horrible dream, and falling asleep had begun to look like a chore for her.

The sleeping pills Kane had brought for her had been doing their job, but oftentimes she would wake up at night, her night dress soaked with sweat, and she would lay awake until the crack of dawn.

Sometimes, Kane would join in on her watch, but other times, he was too tired after working throughout the day and went back to sleep shortly.

And today was no exception.

Kane had promised to take her to see a seer if it persists till the weekend; apparently, those things exist in this world.

Ariel folded herself into a ball, the comforting warmth of Kane beside her reassuring her. She tried to stay awake, but she could barely keep her eyes open, and it didn’t take her so long to fall asleep.

Only it was short-

    Denise was the right choice.The woman was one of the backbones of the pack, and if there was anything to know, she could be the one to know.She just had to be it."Well, hello, Ariel; I wasn’t expecting you here.” The woman said with a smile. Even in her old age, she still looks good, and Ariel was shocked to learn that she was approaching sixty.“I know, but I need your help, Denise, and I think you are the only one that can help me.”“Hmm. Alright. You can wait inside my office; let me tidy up some things, and I will be with you shortly.”“Sure.” Ariel excused her as Denise continued attending to her patients, and she went into her office. It was nothing special, just a small room with chairs and tables arranged like one would during a consultation.She sat on the visitor’s chair, glancing around the room. There was a bold chart of human and werewolf anatomy on the wall and some other basic health information.Just a typical office.Ariel took out her phone, looking for a solution

    “Moonlight pack.” That was all the message had read and nothing else.What was she supposed to do with just the name? Was she supposed to look it up or what? And the fact that the message was from an unknown number didn’t sit well with her.Ariel copied the message and pasted it on the search engine, waiting with baited breath as it loaded the answers. But what was she expecting?The internet was pretty useless when it came to finding things in their world, and she wasn’t even fazed when none of the results were what she wanted, and she released a frustrated sigh.Ariel glanced at the books on her bed, and she picked one up, going through the list of packs that had been mentioned.But there was no mention of the moonlight pack.Frustrated, Ariel pushed the book down, and she realized too late as the door fell down that it was not her property and she couldn’t handle it anyway she liked.“Shit!” Ariel cursed, reaching for the book almost immediately. She picked it up, surveying the dam

    Until she got to the page...Only it wasn’t there.Yeap, it was literally blank. Ariel had gotten to the five hundred and thirty-seventh page, and she had flipped it a tad too fast, eager to get to her desired number, but there was nothing there.And so was the other page number that followed it.“W-what the…” Ariel stuttered, trying to describe what she was feeling. Was it disappointment or anger? She peeped closer into the book, looking for any signs, and on close inspection, she could see that the pages had been carefully ripped off so as not to make it obvious.But who would dare do such a thing?There was no doubt that there was someone in this pack who knew of the moonlight pack, but they didn’t want her to know about it, and the thoughts gave her anxiety.But she could not be discouraged; it was obvious there was something they had to hide, and she was determined to get to the bottom of it.Ariel picked up the books, holding them close to her bosom, and she went out the door,

    Ariel was at it the next day, and this time she was determined to find out who the fuck the sender of the message was. Lucky for her, Claudia had dabbled into tech by the side, and it was going to make her work easier.Ariel had opted for a call; it would reach her faster, but she glanced at the wall clock, and she knew it would be impossible.They were in different time zones, and Claudia would be fast asleep by this time. The woman loved her sleep more than anything, and Ariel just resorted to typing it out.She knew Claudia would be enraged and too eager to help her if she mentioned that the man was a stalker, and she made sure to include it.Ariel looked at the message she had typed and nodded in satisfaction. There was no way Claudia wasn’t going to help, and until then, she was going to continue her search.She had searched the internet, but there was no harm in trying it again; only this time, she was going to make sure she exhausted the search.As usual, Ariel typed in the key

    Could the day go by any slower? Ariel groaned as she checked the time for the umpteenth time, and barely an hour had passed. How was she supposed to wait another 20 hours? The time was crawling, like it had taken up the spirit of a sloth.Was he trying to kill her?She wouldn’t deny that she didn’t like the idea, but right now, there was nothing she could do about it, but she knew what she had to do.Minutes later, Ariel was on the phone with Claudia, asking for her help.The plan was simple: Claudia would somehow find a way to connect to their phones together, and as the call was ongoing, she was going to be tracking the man.If everything works perfectly, Ariel would be leaving with the right information about her birth and his information.It all seems too easy, and she hopes it happens like that.But when she woke up the next day and Kane was still lying beside her, she knew nothing wasn’t going to go as planned.Apparently, he had been pushing himself too far and had broken down;

    “Who is Alpha John?”The blaring alarm went off in Kane’s head, the name triggering something he had thought he had buried in his past. He looked at his mate; the blazing fire in her eyes was all directed at him, and he didn’t know what to think. “I don’t understand what, babe. What is going on?”“Don’t take me for a fool, Kane; I said, Who is Alpha John?” Ariel thundered, her fingers squeezed into a fist. She badly wanted to punch something right now, and all that came to her mind was his face.She had never considered herself to be violent, but maybe it had always been in her."Look, Ariel, I don’t understand what is going on here, but I suggest you relax and take a step back. I just came back, and the last thing I want is to be bombarded.” Kane replied, his voice more raised than usual. He had decided to take the defensive role, hoping it would help. “Come on.” He made to grab her, but she slapped his hands away.“Don’t fucking touch me! Just answer the damn question!” Ariel yelled

    “Maddie?” Ariel looked at the female in front of her, wondering just why she was here. Her eyes lowered to the parcel she was holding, and Ariel eyed it in distaste.Was she thinking of going with her?“What are you doing here?”“What do you think I am doing here?” Maddie eyed her in similar distaste, not caring for her red eyes or the snort almost dripping out of her nose.“Look, this is the worst time for a fight, Maddie. I already told you I have nothing to do with your mate; I have my own mate…”Ariel paused at her words, not sure Kane was worthy of being called her mate, but before she could continue, Maddie had beaten her to it.“I came to give you this.” Maddie said, stretching out her hands and handing her a little brown box.“What is that?” Ariel’s eyebrows knitted in confusion as she eyed the package, her hands refusing to move from her side.“Just take it; you will need it.” Maddie moved closer, dumping the package in her hand, and she took a step back. “I heard you and Kane

    “Aaaahhhhhh…” Ariel screamed for her life; so paralyzed was she in her fear that she had forgotten she had a weapon in her hands.How could she be so foolish to venture so close to the enemy?"Hey, easy chick, I was just trying to help.” The scratchy baritone voice of the man cut her off. He sounded like he didn’t get enough water to drink, and the thought frightened her.Was he thinking of drinking her blood?Ariel slowly peeled her eyes open, and she looked at the scene in front of her, not sure she could make sense of it.The sun had long since gone to rest, and it was only the light from the moon and the security light nearby that lit their path.Her vision blurred for a second as she adjusted to the darkness, and when she could see, there was nothing particularly odd about the men in front of her, but she could not take chances.If there was anything she had learned from staying with werewolves, it was to always expect the unexpected.Ariel braced herself as she observed them, he

    As Ariel stood in the makeshift raised platform that had been constructed in the balcony, staring into the eyes of her mate, she could see nothing but love.All of the moments that brought them here had been a conscious effort on their part, and going for therapy had been a major factor.The first few weeks had been awkward as neither of them was ready to pour out their hearts open, and they had been going around in circles, but they finally broke when the therapist had asked Kane a question.“Is there anything you would like to say to Ariel but you are afraid it will hurt her?”Kane had hesitated at first, his eyes darting to his mate, and he shook his head for a No, there was something about the way Ariel was looking at him, and he didn’t know when he began to talk.“You always act before you think. Most times, you do things that put yourself at risk, not considering people around you, and when it starts getting back, you pull away, leaving us to clean up the mess.”“It is a lie.” Ar

    Ariel started devising a plan immediately after she got to her room. Kane had been trying to prove stubborn, but he had no idea she was a greater force to contend with.Ariel was determined to let bygones be bygones and focused on the future, but Kane seemed to think she was still holding onto the pass, and she was determined to prove him wrong.She began by packing a few essentials she was going to need for the night, and she stuffed them in a tote bag. She peeped inside, making sure everything she needed for a sleepover was there, and she nodded her head in satisfaction.Then she picked up the bag, hanging it on her shoulder, and she made for the door. Now outside the door, she let her nose guide her, and she began to look for Kane’s scent.The man had continued to prove stubborn, so drastic times call for drastic action.Ariel was able to trace the scent to the room at the end of the hall, and she held the doorknob, pushing it gently, and a sigh of relief left her as it gave way—gr

    Ariel slumped on the bed as she got to her room, the rejection too much for her to bear. She wanted to bury herself in the mattress if it meant never to face him.The rejection had stung so much that she couldn’t believe it.But she had brought it upon herself.This was the least she deserved after the way she had treated him, but that didn’t soothe the ache in her chest.She began to replay all that she had said to him, her pity excuse to get him back, and she was cringing hard, but thinking of it now, therapy seems to be a good idea.Their relationship was founded in lies and deceit; although she couldn’t deny their sexual chemistry, their bond was shaky, and there are so many things that were wrong, and if given the chance, she would want to start afresh.With that determination surging in her veins, Ariel picked up her phone, clicking on the message app, and composing a short text to Maddie. The girl knew whatever was happening in the werewolf world, so there was no doubt she woul

    Ariel didn’t wait to see if Kane was going to listen to her; she had decided to take law into her hands, and she grabbed him by his hands and began to pull him away.But she was met with little resistance as he dug his heel on the floor, refusing to follow her, and she turned to look at him, a challenge in her eyes. Goddess, help her; she could claim him right now if he continued like this.There was a twinkle in Kane’s eyes as he understood what she was trying to convey, and he allowed himself to be led by hand until they got to the comfort of his office and she dropped his hands.Ariel tucked her arms in each other, and she fastened her eyes on him, with a look that could burn, but Kane was immune to all this, and he looked at her, although the sides of his mouth tugged up in a small smile.“What were you doing with her?” Ariel demanded, hoping her jealousy didn’t shine through. But who was she kidding? When it comes to Kane, she seems to lose all her senses. “What did you say that

    Ariel woke up the next morning with a scowl on my face, annoyed by the sleepless night. She was practically turning and tossing on the bed until it was dawn.She made sure to avoid all of the mirrors or anything that could show her reflection, as she didn’t need to know how horrible she looked.No doubt, there were huge eye bags in her eyes and horrible dark circles, but she refused to care; instead, she splashed water in her eyes and made for downstairs.Her heart lifted as she perceived the scent of pine cones and oranges, and she quickened her pace, hoping she would just get a glimpse of him.But it was just his scent that lingered as he was long gone, and her face fell even more. However, Ariel managed to slap a smile on her face as the pack began to greet her.There was no need to let them know that their leaders were not on speaking terms; instead, she settled on her seat and waited for the food to come while she was scanning for familiar faces.Her eyes met with Liza, and she r

    Ariel stared outside the window, the world now at peace as the snow had ceased falling, but she failed to notice the vibrant hues of the sky or the gentle quietness of the morning. Her mind was still consumed with the thoughts of her mate.The pain in his voice was something she couldn’t stand, and she only had herself to blame. What they had shared last night had been mutual, and she had enjoyed every moment of it, but she had allowed her fears to push him away.Ariel cringed as she recalled the word he had called himself. How could she even face him now?And the things he said about her father? It had to be a lie; her father would never do that. At least from the glimpse she had seen of him, he seemed like a good man.She ran her head through her finger several times in frustration.Yet she couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt that settled at the pit of her stomach. He had done everything she had accused him of, and he was also a murderer. If there was anyone that was going to be ang

    When Ariel woke up, it was to streaming sunlight from the window slit, the chirping of birds as they sang sweetly in their trees, and her lips curled in a lazy smile, but the smile was quick to fade when she shifted on the bed, and she was met with restriction.A heavy arm encircled her waist, and her ass was painfully close to someone’s crotch, and the hard appendage was poking her ass cheeks. She was feeling a suspicious amount of breeze and freedom in her body.Ariel raised the sheet that had been covering her and looked inside, and she was right. She was stark naked on the bed, and the arm that was swung around her was none other than Kane.She wasn’t one to jump to conclusions, but from the tingles she was still feeling and the delicious soreness in her body, she had no doubt that something had gone down between them, but that didn’t put her to ease one bit.This wasn’t what she wanted.She had thought she could bear the consequences when the morning came, but she was only filled

    The tears weren’t stopping anytime soon, no matter how she tried, and it was only pouring down from her eyes. She had cried so much that she had even forgotten the reason she was crying.But she had never felt so pathetic.After everything and all the promises never to go back here, she was back in Kane’s pack and even taking on the role of a Luna; her parents must be rolling in their graves seeing her frolicking with the enemy, and the thoughts pained her.Nothing could improve her mood, and she remained gloomy throughout the day and had laid down on the bed, just feeling pathetic for herself.And somehow, time had run until the door slowly opened and Kane entered inside.“Ariel.” He growled as he stepped inside, marching towards where she lay. “I thought we had gone over this before; I don’t care what happened between us, but you are not going to starve yourself.”Ariel rose up her head to look at him, and Kane caught sight of her red eyes, and he was rushing to her side.“Ariel, wh

    The next morning, Kane was gone before she could open her eyes, although she had heard his footsteps as he got dressed, and she opened her eyes in the dark, watching his movement.And when he left, Ariel closed her eyes again, trying to sleep, and this time when she woke up, she was greeted by bright sunlight streaming from the window. Ariel sat up, moving towards the window as if enchanted, and she just stared outside, marveling at the beautiful sight in front of her.She closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath, and inhaled in the clean air, a sharp contrast to when she was in Blue Ridge. Then she slowly exhaled, all of her troubles floating away like the air.It was almost breakfast, and she knew the pack would be gathering downstairs to eat, and Ariel knew she could no longer avoid them.She hurried to the bathroom, splashing water on her face, and she quickly brushed her teeth. When she was through, Ariel got dressed in a light blue dress that stopped above her knees, and she ran
