"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
Ariel woke up to her head pounding and something pulling at her legs. It didn't register to her until the person started pulling on hard and her eyes flew open."What are you doing?" She asked Layla who suddenly looked up from what she was doing."Oh good, you're awake. How could you mess everything up?" Layla yelled looking at the door to make sure that no one was coming. "You had one job to do and you didn't even do it right.""It wasn't my fault. I couldn't just do it," Ariel said, she was still very weak and didn't think she needed all these shouting at the moment. Her head pounded like crazy and she still felt like her insides would turn to dirt."You can't just bail out like that. You have to be steadfast and do what you have to do." Layla was beyond angry at the fact that said plan didn't work and that Ariel was there, laying in the Alpha's bed. This wasn't part of the plan and her plans always go according to plan."You can't possibly be telling me to do it," Ariel questioned,
Ariel watched him walk away in anger as she held onto her arm, she had been injured badly. In tears, she locked the door behind her as she examined her injuries. Why’d all these have to happen? Why’d he have to find out about how his parents had died just when she thought the moon goddess had listened to her prayers? Was it that she wasn’t destined to be happy? Was it that this was her life now? She closed her eyes as memories of how he’d tortured her hit her again. He’d now made it his daily routine to hit her and it hurt… it hurt so badly, especially when she knew that he was her mate and he knew equally as much.She closed her eyes and let the fresh memories of the pain that had just been inflicted on her flooded her head. He’d dragged her as he threw her to the door without any mercy while she’d screamed in pain. She’d not even recovered from the pain that was inflicted on her a few days before and hence, she hurt her arm. Not waiting for her to even recover, he grabbed her hair.H
The night was still, windless and clear, as a result of which, every sound was distinct and intensified, the howl of a wolf all the way from the neighboring pack border, could be clearly heard in the woods. On this night, the natural black hugs the stars as a mother to her newborn, the road is midnight under the cloud, yet beyond is the dawn. A cold night, a lucid moon, heaven's eyes shine in the black as a divine watchful mother. It borrows body heat as if it were a cup of sugar, yet when the new light of day returns it with honeycomb.The sound of heavy footsteps rang in Ariel's ears, but she was too deep in her sleep to open her eyes. The cell door creaked open as a figure entered the dark room, closing it softly. He walked slowly to where Ariel layed on the floor and knelt down, running his hands through her legs, Ariel is startled as she opens her eyes wide ready to scream, only to be stopped by his large hands."Wh-" she mumbled, struggling against him. "Shut up Ariel , it's me,"
