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
“Wh.. what are you saying?” She asked as she turned. “There’s no way I can do that,” she said and looked away. She was shocked, she had just been presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. In fact , it was more than an opportunity of a lifetime. She was sure she could never get this opportunity in seven lifetimes.She inhaled deeply, she knew she would never get such an opportunity in her life again, but if she did, it would make a rogue like her parents.She held onto her head, what was she supposed to do? She couldn’t let him go for all that he had done to her, but for some strange reason, she didn’t feel good planning to kill him.Layla smiled before going to her and putting her hand on her shoulder, “listen, I know you’re feeling strange doing this and I think it’s because you’re in love.” Ariel immediately turned to face her“Keep in mind, I hate him and I don’t love him. He has ruined my life, tarnished my parents’ reputation and I could never forgive him for it," she said and
Ariel wiped at her face as she walked back to the kitchen, holding the plate of food in her hand. She was getting tired of it - always wiping her eyes. Her throat still burned and her chest was not doing much better. It felt like someone had set her lungs on fire and she wheezed, hitting her chest while she walked. The familiar smell of smoke and roasted lamb attacked her nostrils as she entered the kitchen and she reeled the sneeze that threatened to escape her back in. The maids snickered as she entered, not bothering to lower their tone whilst they gossiped about her - not that she expected them to. "Serves her damn well right." Ariel glued her eyes to her socked feet and kept them there, trying and failing to lock them out. They would always have things to say about her, she'd realized. None of those things would ever be good. During her first days in the kitchen, she had fought them for their insults tossed at her parents. She had gotten into brawls where teeth and claws fla
Ariel swallowed, hard. Damien inched towards her and she backed away until she hit the door. He didn't stop walking and her heart thrashed against her rib cage with every step he took in her direction. She tried not to notice the rippling of muscles as he moved, or how low his towel was from his waist. She tried keeping her eyes on his face, and she failed terribly. Damien halted when they were close enough to share breaths and his nostrils flared when he smelled her. He let out a low sound - a growl, and his warm breath tickled the skin on her neck. Ariel shuddered and she felt her wolf stir again. Not good. "You called for me. What did you need?" She said, surprised at the steadiness of her voice, and made to move away from the door, away from him. Going to his room had been a mistake. The proximity wasn't healthy for both of them. Mated wolves who had neither accepted nor denied the bond, were ticking time bombs, waiting to explode. Ariel feared she would explode if she didn't
Alpha Damien looked at the girl standing in front of him. Granted she was a young woman who he was older than by five years, but irregardless of that, she was still like a girl to him. He glared at her and she inched back slowly, as if his glare was pushing her back. She stood with her head bowed down, cowering in fear like a homeless dog. Damien was lost in his thoughts, but his mind was still on the wimp in front of him t. Why her? he asked himself. He clenched his hands into fists, as the emotions swirled around him, threatening to swallow him whole.He shook his head to blink the thoughts - which were swirling through his mind at an alarming rate - away as his eyes focused on the person who was still standing in front of him. He took in her features. He looked at her obsidian black hair which was still shining, despite it being in poor condition. She was of average eyes and her posture was starting to become stopped because of the way she always bent her head."Who is there?" he b
Alex sashayed through the hallways, occasionally peering through the corners where he thought she might be. It was unusual that the woman was not in the kitchen scrubbing the plates or in the garden cussing at Damien's flowers and fruits, as well as the man himself. He had looked in the store as well, one of her many getaway spots, but she wasn't stealing a nap in there like she usually would. It was unusual that Ariel would be indoors, given the time of the day but it was the only other choice left. He had wanted to wave at her in the kitchen, just to make sure she was well and alright, but when he did not find her there or at the other spots, he actually did start to get worried. "Alex ?" Alex halted and turned slightly. His friend's eyes narrowed as they observed him and the direction in which he was headed. "Where are you headed?" Alex's brows rose in bitter amusement. "Can I not have a walk in our pack house anymore, Damien?" Damien's blonde brows knitted together as his fro
