Ariel stormed out of the garden, wiping furiously at the tears that rolled down her cheeks. Her chest caved in painfully and she still had a lot of tears to give out. She was exhausted and in pain. Tired of everything. Maybe it was why she blew up and yelled at him. Maybe she was out of line. Maybe she shouldn't have spoken to him that way. He was Alpha after all. What did she expect? That he would help her get the apple she had been reaching for? All she had wanted to do was make a pie. It's not like she had been plucking them for her own use. He put her here and made her serve. She was just doing her job. Who was he to tell her what she could do and what she couldn't do with respect to her job? Yes. He was the Alpha but it was enough. She wasn't the one who killed his parents. She did not even know what drove the actions her parents took. She knew absolutely nothing of it all but regardless of how much she cried, how much she begged, how much she pleaded, he would never listen. He
Preparations for the celebration of the moon festival started the next morning after the night of the blood moon. The festival usually took place on the night after the blood moon, and for a busy day of the festival because of all manner of preparations, it was going to be an even busier night that day. It was a normal ritual day for the wolf pack and all members partook in the celebrations and the ritual rites involved.Damien, locked inside his room, was pissed about what had occurred the previous day. He had not even had much sleep since finding out that his long awaited mate was the daughter of his parent’s killer and the maid who he enjoyed humiliating. He had even almost killed her once amidst countless thoughts of doing so and now the one he considered his enemy was to be his mate. He became more angry just at the thought of it. He had expected someone else of more class and dignity, not a common peasant whose name had been dragged through dirt every single day among his pack an
Ariel's bottom lip shook as she trailed her fingers around her swollen eyes. Her eyes were swollen and puffy with dark circles under as she heaved out an exasperated sigh. She removed the hair band that she used in tying her hair, taking a clearer look at herself in the mirror. Her hair tumbled over her shoulder as she forced out a smile that made her cringe instantly.She shifted her gaze from the mirror, sauntering to the wardrobe whose door had broken. She pulled out a hoodie and a pair of jean trousers as she removed the cloth she was wearing earlier. She slipped her legs through the trousers, letting out a wince because of how the hard material of her jeans brushed through a wound that was still healing.She zipped up her hoodie, covering her head with the hoodie's cover. She pulled the cover forward a bit and all this was in a bid to hide her puffy eyes that had swollen because of the tears that she had drowned herself in. She would never forget how she bawled her eyes out last n
The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky, casting long shadows on the earth, the trees rustled, its leaves creating a melodious sound of nature as they danced with the calm breeze, the sky was ablaze with the twinkling sky, like a blanket of stars that spread into infinity.The occasional howls of patrolling wolves broke the silence of the night as the constant hoots of owls and chirps of crickets sang their own sweet song. It was a calm cold night, calm enough for two lovers to express their feelings.The crescent moon casted its dim light on the shutters of a window reflecting through on two mates lying on the floor of the light room.It was magical as the moon reflected its light on them, blessing them.Ariel was wrapped in the arms of Damien as they lay peacefully on the floor of the light room, with soft smiles on their faces; they let out soft snores wrapped in each other's warmth, they looked peaceful together.Their wolves were happy to be in each other
"What the fuck did I do!" Damien yelled grabbing his air, he placed his room wondering how he had ended up with her in the Lightroom."This was a huge mistake"he exclaimed taking a seat on his bed, he stood up again grunting as he paced his room."She must think that I now care for her, that I now accept her as my mate, how absurd!!""I have to correct this, I ha-" a knock on his door cuts his mumbling as he stares at the door. He wasn't in a mood for visitors but the sweet scent of Elle brings a mischievous smile to his face."Come in" he said, placing a sweet smile on his face."Damien" Elle called entering his room with a flirty smile on her face."I have missed you" she said pouting her lips, she wraps her hands around his neck biting her lips."And I have missed you to baby"His eyes roamed around her body as he bit his lower lip in lust wrapping his hands around her waist, Elle shivered from the effect of his dark obsidian eyes on her her insides heated warmth spreading all over
Ariel hated her wolf hearing more than anything at that point. The sound of Elle's moaning as well as the movement of their bodies slick together filled the air and she cursed her existence, her heritage, herself, her life, and most of all she cursed Damien. Damien growled, whispering things to Elle that caused Ariel's wolf rampage in her belly. She doubled over, whimpering and panting. It felt like her wolf was fighting within her to get out of her body. It was painful. She was in unbearable pain. She slapped her hand over her mouth to stifle the scream that erupted from her when her wolf pounded into her belly, wanting out, fighting out. If he would just let her leave. She needed to leave. She couldn't bear the hurt in her body, her heart. She felt like she was going to die if she stood there for a minute longer. Her vision blurred as the pain grew intense and she found herself gripping the wall to keep upright. She couldn't override Damien's command to stay in her head. Perhap
Damien watched as Alex dragged her away from the place. He didn't know how he felt about Alex dragging her away, but all he knew was that he didn't like it because he wanted to watch her get humiliated and disgraced right before everybody's eyes.Damien had told Alex not to take her away, but he was so stubborn. Damien thought he was the only stubborn one, but with everything that happened, it looked like Alex was almost the most stubborn one.He couldn't deny the fact that he liked and enjoyed the way everything was affecting her negatively.Out of anger, Damien dashes into his bedroom to have a nap. The nao would make him feel a little bit better and a little less angry at everyone.Five minutes later, Elle walked into Damien's room casually and she sat down at the edge of the bed. She started rubbing her leg, as Damien was still sleeping.She started looking at his face. She knew that he was so fine, but she didn't know that he was this fine. She would be really happy to be his mare
She ran to her room in tears as she shut the door behind her. For some reason, she was emotionally hurt. She slid to the ground in tears, she could no longer explain how bad things in her life were turning. She sniffled as she went to sit on the bed, wiping her tears. She could vividly remember how he’d told the elders that Elle was his mate when he clearly knew Elle wasn’t . She didn’t like him so why did his words affect her? Why did she feel bad when he addressed someone else as his mate? She sniffled before bowing her head on her laps, she was sure she didn’t want to be known as his mate but then for some reason, she felt bad when he addressed someone else as his mate. She felt as sad as a wife who’d just heard her husband profess love to some other woman. She inhaled deeply and wiped her tears.“Did you not make a promise to yourself Ariel? You promised yourself that you wouldn’t cry because of this palace affair any more didn’t you? So why are you in tears now?” She asked herself
