ARIANNA’S POV“You’ve been fiddling with that phone all day.” Luciano commented as we ate the leftovers I found.“It has decided to have a mind of its own.” Sarah just left after confirming there were no listening devices but a lot of files had been transferred out of Luciano’s computer. So we had that to deal with. “What can they do with the files they took?” I asked. He had been avoiding talking about it since she left. He had suggested we raid the fridge for leftovers. I had never seen him eat this late before. He was not even a fan of my late night meals, but tonight he was all for it. He was either thinking and processing or he was avoiding. “It was mostly account information and summaries. All that will tell them is how much cash we have liquidated and where the rest of our assets are. And what companies we are part of.” he sounded like he had gone through it in his head already.“Was it just the park account info?” I asked “Some of my personal accounts were on there but n
LUCIANO’S POV“Thank you Fenrir. I owe you.” I put down my phone and settled into my chair. I had not said that lightly, I did owe him. He asked for a day and somehow managed to find out everything Collin was up to. Well, I hoped it was everything. Collin needed to ruin me so he could save face with his park. He could channel this energy into getting his house in order but no, he is choosing yhe cowards way out. I was right about him. He needed to give his park an outsider to hate, that way they wouldn’t kick him out for being a shityy leader. Classic. Collin was pulling Carters strings, Carter needed money and a cure for his sick wolves. He had refused to admit it but we both knew he was drowning. If he kept this up much longer he may not have a park to lord over. I could offer him money and treatment, except, I had no idea what kind of treatment they needed, and neither did Becky. Fuck! I had to end this, and fast. I looked over to the empty couch in the corner. Where was Dave?
CARTER’S POV “Sir, another one.” Max was saying. “When?” I asked. “Early hours of the morning. We are preping for burial.” I waved him away and took a gulp of my drink. This was not making any sense. Months ago it was just a cough going round. Now it seemed half the park was sick with something. A week ago we had the first death from this stupid illness and now a second. I needed to get to the bottom of this, and fast before it got to me. “Carter, did you hear? Someone died this morning.” Ciara announced as she walked in. “I heard.” I did not have time for her right now. “Well, what are you going to do about it? I’ve told my parents not to leave the house, but I’m scared. You need to figure something out.” “Don’t you think I know that? I have a lot on my mind without you bickering in my ear. Let me think.” I screamed at her.That should shut her up. Where did she get off telling me what to do? Bitch! I looked at her standing there looking insulted. I walked up to het grabbing
CARTER’S POVSo, Luciano had sent someone to make sure we were doing okay. Luciano might be just what I needed. He was never shy with money. Last time he was here he bought an omega for a million dollars. Show off, that one. Not that I was complaining. “Andrew, what brings you here?” I gestured for him to take his seat. “The other Alphas needed to be sure you were doing okay. You didn’t show up for the convention and no one could reach you by phone.” “The convention, that happened already? They will have to forgive my absence, I’ve had my hands full here.” Fuck why did I say that. I couldn’t let anyone know people were sick and now dying. He was looking at me like he expected me to say more. I could stare him down but this could a way to deter him from any thoughts he could be having. “You see, Andrew, my park has found itself in some financial difficulties. We are barely scraping by. The convention completely…” I waved my hand to signal a thought flying away and he relaxed.“Yo
CARTER’S POV“I’m leaving.” I didn’t understand why Dylan felt he needed to make this announcement to me in person.He wasn’t the first to leave since this whole thing started, but I was happy to see him go. Good riddance to him. I knew a bunch of the pack expected him to challenge me one day, if he was leaving then at least I wouldn’t get to cripple him in a fight. “Bye, Dylan. Goodluck surviving without a pack, and don’t come back.” “It’s not just me, three others are coming with me. And we are meeting up with those who left already.” Dylan announced. Normally this revelation would have had me wanting a fight but we just buried one more person this morning and I honestly did not have it in me to care. “Well, goodbye to the lot of you. I hope hunters find you. Get out of my sight.” By, Luna. I needed a solution to this sickness if not the rest of the park might start leaving too. George and Ciara so far were more than useless. At least Ciara had other uses, George was just dull.
*Arianna's POV*I was walking through the dark streets alone, my whole body was shaking with fear. It was so late, yet my mother didn't think twice about sending me out to get something for her, something she would never do to my younger sister, I was the only one whom everyone hated and always wanted to bully and all because of what? Just because I'm an omega!Omega tends to be treated like rags since we're seen as weak and useless, but someday, I hope that will change and I can finally have a peaceful and normal life.I suddenly saw my worst bullies heading towards my way and fear gripped me, I searched around for somewhere to hide but it was already too late since they saw me already and there was no where I could run to."Look what we have here." Lucas, the gang leader said with a sinister smile on his face."P please don't bother me, I only want to go home, I didn't do anything." I stuttered, the fear was evident in my voice."Oh look at you, we haven't ever started yet and you'r
*Arianna's POV*"Tell me your full name right now." He ordered.I shook my head, tears were streaming down my cheeks, I didn't want to tell him my name."Say it!" He commanded and this time, he used his power as an Alpha and I couldn't resist, I found myself telling him my name against my own will."Arianna Sinclair." I said with a broken heart."I Carter Derulo reject you Arianna Sinclair as my mate and from this day forth, I want nothing to do with you!" Carter spat, the hate and rage visible in his eyes, the look he gave me was that of disgust and it shattered my heart completely.I tried to speak but it felt like I've suddenly lost my voice, the pain of his rejection was just too much. Why!? Why does this keeps happening to me? What have I done wrong!?"Accept the rejection Arianna." He commanded and that was exactly what I did."I accept your rejection." I cried and that moment, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, the pain was just too much that I fell to the floor groaning in pain.
*Arianna's POV*"Oh save it Arianna!" Ciara spat. "You getting rejected shouldn't come as a surprise to you, after all, nobody wants an omega for a mate and not even the Alpha. The moon goddess made a mistake by pairing you with the Alpha, but thankfully, that mistake has been corrected." She laughed and then she kissed Carter again.I knew Ciara hated me, in fact, she was my worse bully, but I didn't know she hates me this much, my own sister whom I love so much.I've done so many things just to earn the love of my family, but no matter what I do, I just can't change the way they feel about me and it breaks my heart so much."I didn't call you here to hear your silly words Arianna, go wait for me in the room opposite ours." Carter said."No! I'm leaving, I refuse to stay here for a single second!" I turned to leave but Carter's voice stopped me."Go wait for me in the room opposite ours." He commanded and this time, I couldn't resist his command.I tried so hard to fight his power of
