~Ariadne POV~ Liliana latched the word to my throat by her sudden outburst. I glared around. The guests' gaze flickered to me as I walked out of the dead. Like I was a piece of shit. lots of murmuring, muttering hateful words.It breaks me the most.Liliana swore never to forgive me.How bad. How shocking the scumbag Alpha had won the heart of everyone. He is kind but stern.He's the law here.The monarch. And his father lived a legend. He wasn't as influential as Alpha Henry. He is born a self-made leader. Hannah found it hard to promise me. Which breaks me. If she knows it was because I'm from the Abyss, she would forget her promise and go against it. Just like everyone she would be frightened. But I don't blame her or anyone. I'm not proud of myself either. But I have no control over my identity. None of this will exist in some hours to come. Alpha Henry will be here to commemorate the moon festival as well as Alpha Creed with his own motives. I have to do this. I have to inf
~Ariadne POV~"What are you doing here?" That was the first question that came to my mind. "What I'm I doing here?" His voice was hoarse. His face hadn't changed and it was still menacing as it was. "I meant you said today and today hadn't even ended. I intend to get it done with. You have to trust me." "You've found them more intriguing. I saw everything. You can't be like them, you ain't them." "My life is bound to the Abyss the oat I made…I know that line and I'm not fucking stupid." His hand smashed against my cheek. "Don't you dare! I will make sure you pay for disrespecting me. What were you thinking?" My two all were still held to where his five fingers' golden ring landed. The ache was paramount. "I'm sorry Alpha, I need time and I won't fail you." Were those words coming out from me? Yes, they were. I will use my chances. Get to Alpha Henry. Text him maybe but that would sound awash and irresponsible. I need to buy time. "I know what you're thinking don't do anything s
~Bryson POV~"Is it that she wants to kill you? If she does, I won't forgive her." I smiled bitterly at what Liliana was saying.She had no idea.So I don't blame her.I love Ariadne already.It's too late to step back."What if… she doesn't do it. It's just a rumour and Ariadne is too kind to do something like that. Don't you think so?" Liliana stood by my side today just as I stood by hers and watched her grow."I believe so but I don't trust them, if she is from the Abyss it means she is cruel and doesn't have pity. At first, I had that impression of her, she smelled as described, sweet savoury smell, unique, but not anymore. It hurts me if it's true. Both of you are an essential part of my life.""You see you have answered yourself why are you still scared?"Maybe I'm overthinking things. It could be that. I felt she had changed, I know she has changed. If she hadn't I wouldn't have seen her come back and help Williams and look at me.Her attempt to hack at Williams to talk to me.
Bryson POV"Not just that. I thought you should know about the invasion of my father. I found it still related to the Abyss."Lucas that prick!What was he thinking hitting me with his taunting words?I froze for a moment thinking about what to do."Well, it's a good thing. I mean you should get something to calm your nerves. What do you want? Desserts? Drinks?"This is the best I can offer right now. It was either I cover up or I squirm. Lucas coming here wasn't pure intention after all. He might just have known enough than I thought.But instead, I would feign demureness and cover my perplexed self.I made him follow me to the dining, which was filled with lots and lots of desserts and fruits and meats.Samuel too followed behind us, it was nice having them around. Not nice for me. I hate sitting among them. But the pack members loved it. They see it as a smooth running of affairs and keep their mind at ease.Aiden rested his flank on the wall and crossed his leg. I clicked the glas
AriadneI walked out of the room and slowly traced the stairs while holding the rim.It was hard. So fucking hard. The decision. I watched through the window and saw the evening approach. The sun slowly fades into the sky. It was almost time and tonight was going to be a long night. The whole pack was now slowly drifting to the woods."Ariadne thank God you're here." Hannah rushed towards me. She has very sharp eyes and I knew she realized how pale I have grown in just a day."Hannah, you should go to the others I need to eat first." I lied."Great, I was suggesting that. Don't tell me you haven't eaten anything since daybreak. What about the food I kept at the diner? You didn't even take a bite, did you? It took me a whole lot of effort to prepare for it.""I will meet you on the field," I said calmly and walked through the steps.She wanted to scream after me. But held herself. I knew she had already heard the gossip. And for some reason was holding herself back from letting me know.
Ariadne I can't do this, the way he looked at me. It melts my heart.Every ounce of me wants him to fold me into a hug."I have been thinking all morning.""About what?" He breaks the stick in his hand."I don't know, maybe if we could have…" I press my lips together. "I can't stop thinking about it.""What have you been thinking about?" He placed closer to me his hot big colossal body."No," I sigh. "That I can't let you die and I can't see myself away from you. I'm saying bullshit. Why even bring me here..."His hand moved on to mine. He raised it and brought it to his chest. Every pounding of his heart I felt through my hand.My heart squares in my heart even though I tried to mentally shut it.I stare into his warm blue eyes. The thought of Bryson's hand touching me, asking me. Made me shiver as I await to decipher the emotion in his eyes. I love the way they feel rough, almost like fine sandpaper against me and the way his stubble scratches along my skin—it was inevitable these
~Ariadne~Alpha Bryson leaned in and then I leaned backwards. “I’ll be honest with you, Ariadne.” I blinked as he used my first name for the first time, how they sounded in my ear. “I want you.”“You… what?” I blushed as I felt his hand settle on my knee rubbing it, so gentle. “Want me where?”“On my desk. In my bed. On the floor. Right here with me ” He spoke low, his fingers slowly trailing up the inside of my thigh. “Your legs are exquisite. I want to know what they feel like without pants.”“I… I…” I bit down on my lower lip as hestarted massaging the inside of my thigh.“You can’t be serious.”“I’m completely serious.” I want this, I want to feel him. He has had me burning with desire. "Don't you feel it?""Feel what?""The need to fuck."My breath tensed. "Well, that is bold.""That is what I felt after my near-death experience, fear of you not talking to me." He said with a giggle." I wanted to so fuck like a rabbit. Monkey. Wolf. Whatever the visceral feeling, you were a big
~Bryson~“You look a lot happier than you did when you left,” Williams said.Oh mine. Oh mine. She made me this way. “Did you kill him? Do I need to help you bury a body? I’ve got a shovel at home.”“No, I did not kill him. What is going on, are you able to find snarky movements?”“Who are we talking about?” Ariadne looked confused, which made sense considering the way I left and paced to another side.“Alpha Lucas. Mr Lucas Bancroft.”“Now you’re scaring me,” she said. “I thought he was shutting down the festival along with uhm.” she fumbled rubbing her neck, her delicate beck that l marked. "The other Alphas.""He is," I said. "Now, who else is here? I need a partner to sit across there with me.''Alpha Lucas left in feisty.I couldn't have imagined seeing him."Wait. Where are you two coming from?" Aiden's gaze hovered from Ariadne to me."What happened?"He couldn't see any stains.We were careful marking each other.And our scent wasn't too obvious."Nothing, if it's what I'm t
