Her pulse rate peaked up as she stood with wide eyes, beads of sweat forming at the top of her forehead, she took two steps back in fear, her hands and legs trembling.'What have I done?' she thought as she held up the broken flower vase, her lips quivered slightly.Ariel couldn't wrap her head around what had just happened, it all seemed to happen in a flash, one minute Elle slapped her the next minute she was lying on the floor unconscious.She took two more steps back, her back hitting the pillar, Damien took a step closer to her and she panics, her heart leapt into her stomach, a wave of fatigue and nausea fell upon her like a bucket of water."Don't you dare come near me or I'll kill myself along with Elle" she rasped out her eyes wide, Damien stops right in his tracks, his face filled with panic, he looks at Alex with a look as to say 'Talk to her'.Alex understands his stare and takes a step forward opening his mouth to speak, but Ariel shuts him up."Even you Alex , I don't wan
It seemed like Ariel’s world was crashing before her very eyes. She couldn’t say what had pushed her into acting the way she did and also couldn’t say the kind of punishment that would be meted to her.She had overdone herself this time around; and she knew that even without being told.She remembered the way Damien had looked at her, and the thought of it alone was enough to send sudden chills down the length of her spine. You know, the kind of look that told you that you had overstepped your boundaries and you would be punished for it?Yes, that was the exact type he gave her.She thought about escaping, but the thought flew out of her head as soon as it had come, for she already knew that it was a bad idea. Escaping wasn’t a probable option. Damien would stop at nothing to get her back, and when he catches her, he would punish her more than he’s been doing before. She could not afford to go through that kind of torment; she’s had enough of it as it was already.The thought of going
The dungeon was really cold and dark. Its pungent smell made Ariel's stomach swirl with nausea, her nostrils tingled from the smell of mold and dried up blood. She had been in the cell for two days, with no food or water, and stomach gurgled every minute and the nausea she was having wasn't helping it. She was getting sick of the smell, beads of sweat lined up on her face as she was getting sweaty all over. Her wounds were starting to itch and hurt her.She was really uncomfortable in this cell, she layed slowly on the cold cemented floor of the cell. Laying on her stomach, she stared at the cell door hoping she would leave here soon. She was really tired of waking up to the walls of her cell, the huge silver bars created terrifying shadows from the lamp that was hung at the side of her cell, which gave little light before it went off.Tears ran down the corner of her eyes as she remembered all the torture she had gone through while in the cell. A soft sob left her throat as Ariel coul
"Don't know. They have been fighting a lot recently," the cook muttered before dropping the plate into Ariel 's basin. "I hope they sort out their issues before long, lest they rip this mansion to shreds and us with it." Ariel kept her eyes glued to the ground while they spoke, avoiding their stares because they all had an idea she had something to do with the fights between Alex and Damien. Alex was mostly quiet and cool-headed. Easily the nicest and most easy-going male in the pack. Hence, the surprise at his unbridled show of hostility towards Damien. She had never quite seen anything like it before. Maybe she shouldn't have said a word to Alex about it. Maybe she should stop talking to Alex about everything. It felt like she was ruining the relationship the two had and she didn't want that. Alex might be her best friend but he was also Damien's friend and considering how far they'd come, it would be unseemingly that they would let themselves get separated by a maid--even if she
Ariel was lust in a world of lust as she stared at Damien, she watched as he flexed his muscles which rippled beneath his shirt, his shirt had two buttons undone as he went through his paperwork, he was aware of Ariel gaze on him but he wasn't ready to confront her about it.Ariel thought of how it would feel if he entered her, she wondered how his touch would feel when it grazed her skin, her arousal was slowly emitting from her body but Damien hadn't perceived it yet, her eyes raked to his disheveled hair, how she wished she could run her hands through it, but she knew deep down that it was all a fantasy and none would ever come through, she didn't expect Damien to love her all of a sudden, or fulfill her desires, he never looked at her once with love and care, only thing visible in his eyes was hate.But, still she wished that one day he would love and cherish her, he would care for her and no longer hate her, he would be her first and last, she wished and dreamt that her first time
"You think you'll command me to leave and I'll just listen? Hell, no. You're being wicked, Damien. Wicked, yes, that's the best way to describe you." Alex said at once in a very angry tone. He was really angry that Damien would even think of doing this to Ariel , he didn't know that Damien could actually watch Ariel get beaten and hurt on his orders. He proceeded to take Ariel from the guard, but Damien's voice stopped him."Leave, Alex . Leave." Damien said in his wolf voice. He raised his head and looked at Alex with his wolfish eyes. Alex knew what that meant, so he backed away from Ariel . The guard started hitting her again and he just couldn't take it, so he left the room immediately, but not before looking into Ariel 's eyes. He could see how hurt and betrayed she felt. His heart really breaks for Ariel .After Alex left, the guard continued hitting Ariel while Ariel just stood still and took the pain. Damien couldn't stop looking at Ariel getting hit, he felt a little bit satis
As Damien's hand connected to Ariel's face, she suddenly found herself falling backward into the dark abyss that she never noticed was behind her. She suddenly snapped awake. It seems it was all a dream all along. She was very disoriented as she tried to get off her bed.Her first attempt had her tumbling off the bed in a pathetic roll. As soon as she landed on the ground, she heard a glass shatter. Her mind was immediately cleared as she felt a sharp pain in her leg. She rolled onto her back and looked downward at her leg.She cursed when she noticed that the vial she had clutched in her sleep had broken and spilled all over her legs. She looked around for anything to wipe away the liquid, but she wasn't able to find it. She stumbled onto her feet and swayed a bit. She soon spotted a box of napkins she had swiped from the kitchen earlier. She felt dizzy and drowsy so she knew the liquid was already taking effect.She shook her head to shake her drowsiness and stumbled towards the box.
Damien woke up the next morning to Alex mind linking him. He tried ignoring it because he still wasn't supposed to be talking to him yet. But, he kept breaching his mind for a while and Damien decided to open his mind to him as it might be something very important concerning the pack "What do you want from me?" His mind groaned."Some of the pack guards on patrol last night said there were suspicious sightings of rogues near the pack border."Damien flipped him off, whilst thinking of such a big dick his beta was. "Now, down to business," Alex said, "We need you down here as soon as possible.""But, she's still unconscious. I can't just leave her alone." Ariel was still very much unconscious, she didn't even move at all throughout the night."Come on now, Damien. They found something. You're needed right now. It's very urgent," Alex said as he disconnected the mind link. He looked at Ariel and held her face in his hand. He couldn't leave her alone, but he needed to. He needed to protec
