CIARA’S POVIf anyone knew where I could find Dylan, it would be George. New packs usually kept in contact with their old healers. I made my way to George’s for what felt like the millionth time since I got back.I had been trying to convince him to talk to the witches on Carter’s behalf but he insisted that he did and they would not listen. A part of me didn’t believe him. It was no secret that he didn’t like Carter. In my head I could picture him dancing over Carter’s withering frame. I walked up to the door and knocked. “Come in.” I heard from inside. I walked in, George was sitting on one of those old people chairs that had a recline and everything. He had a book in his hand that he seemed really into.“Hello Ciara. How are you today?” He asked.“I’m good George, what are you reading?” “Just a book on herbology. I’ve been meaning to get to it.” He explained. “Anything in there that can help Carter?” I asked.He gave me a look that said he was tired of that question. I put up b
CIARA’S POVThe directions Dylan gave me were not directions. Anyone who followed them would get lost. Which is exactly what I was at that moment, lost.I was in the middle of the woods, there was no one around here. There were no houses, where were the wolves living? I heard rustling in the bushes and out came Dylan. He was shirtless with a big smile on his face. He approached me with his arms spread wide, “Ciara, good to see you.” He enveloped me in a hug. “Nice to see you too.” I said, feeling very awkward. “Why are we in the middle of nowhere?” I asked him.“This is where we live.” I looked around us, there was no one else here. “We?” I asked.“Yes, we. Come on, I’ll show you.” I followed him further into the woods until we got to a clearing. There was a fire pit in the middle and logs around it. It looked very much like a camp. “Guys, she’s here.” Someone shouted from above.I looked up in the trees and it all made sense, there were makeshift tree houses. They didn’t look
CIARA’S POVDylan was looking at me funny. He had heard me, he just didn’t know what to make of it. “Why would I do that, Ciara?” He asked.“So you can turn the mystic moon into this, only difference would be indoor plumbing.” I told him. I tried to lighten the conversation with a smile but he was gone. “I can’t do anything for the mystic moon. That’s Carter’s pack, not mine.” “What if it were yours?” I asked him. He turned to face me now. It looked like he was done with the innuendos. “What are you saying Ciara?” he asked me.“I’m saying that the mystic moon needs an Alpha.”“It has one. Carter. Your boyfriend, I might add.” He said.“Don’t remind me, please. Anyway, Carter is not really at a hundred percent right now. You can challenge him and become Alpha. Like you were always meant to do.” I explained to him.I watched a multitude of emotions flicker across his face. Confusion, excitement, doubt, uncertainty.“I don’t need to challenge him. I have a pack of my own.” He said.
*Arianna's POV*I was walking through the dark streets alone, my whole body was shaking with fear. It was so late, yet my mother didn't think twice about sending me out to get something for her, something she would never do to my younger sister, I was the only one whom everyone hated and always wanted to bully and all because of what? Just because I'm an omega!Omega tends to be treated like rags since we're seen as weak and useless, but someday, I hope that will change and I can finally have a peaceful and normal life.I suddenly saw my worst bullies heading towards my way and fear gripped me, I searched around for somewhere to hide but it was already too late since they saw me already and there was no where I could run to."Look what we have here." Lucas, the gang leader said with a sinister smile on his face."P please don't bother me, I only want to go home, I didn't do anything." I stuttered, the fear was evident in my voice."Oh look at you, we haven't ever started yet and you'r
*Arianna's POV*"Tell me your full name right now." He ordered.I shook my head, tears were streaming down my cheeks, I didn't want to tell him my name."Say it!" He commanded and this time, he used his power as an Alpha and I couldn't resist, I found myself telling him my name against my own will."Arianna Sinclair." I said with a broken heart."I Carter Derulo reject you Arianna Sinclair as my mate and from this day forth, I want nothing to do with you!" Carter spat, the hate and rage visible in his eyes, the look he gave me was that of disgust and it shattered my heart completely.I tried to speak but it felt like I've suddenly lost my voice, the pain of his rejection was just too much. Why!? Why does this keeps happening to me? What have I done wrong!?"Accept the rejection Arianna." He commanded and that was exactly what I did."I accept your rejection." I cried and that moment, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, the pain was just too much that I fell to the floor groaning in pain.
*Arianna's POV*"Oh save it Arianna!" Ciara spat. "You getting rejected shouldn't come as a surprise to you, after all, nobody wants an omega for a mate and not even the Alpha. The moon goddess made a mistake by pairing you with the Alpha, but thankfully, that mistake has been corrected." She laughed and then she kissed Carter again.I knew Ciara hated me, in fact, she was my worse bully, but I didn't know she hates me this much, my own sister whom I love so much.I've done so many things just to earn the love of my family, but no matter what I do, I just can't change the way they feel about me and it breaks my heart so much."I didn't call you here to hear your silly words Arianna, go wait for me in the room opposite ours." Carter said."No! I'm leaving, I refuse to stay here for a single second!" I turned to leave but Carter's voice stopped me."Go wait for me in the room opposite ours." He commanded and this time, I couldn't resist his command.I tried so hard to fight his power of
*Arianna's POV*My eyes scanned the crowed and I saw my family among them, but from the look on their faces, I realized that indeed they were in on this too.I shut my eyes tightly as hot tears rolled down my cheeks, the pain this time was even greater than the pain I had felt when Carter rejected me and right now, the least I can do is not to care anymore and just accept my fate, everyone has abandoned me, even the goddess herself has turned her back on me.The light was focused on me, making me the center of attraction.Carter who acted as the auctioneer himself then called out the starting price for me, "We have a beautiful young lady here, starting bid at $20,000."The men in the crowd began placing their bids, "I bid $30, 000!""I offer $50, 000!" another man shouted.The price continued to rise as more men joined in the bidding, and my heart sank with each new offer. I couldn't believe that I was being sold like an object with meaningless value and I have no idea what my fate wo
*Arianna's POV*I felt someone's presence in my room and I hurriedly sat up. It's so late already and I should be asleep, but I found it so hard to fall asleep, hence the reason I'm still awake."Who's there?" I asked fearfully since the person's face was yet to be revealed."If you don't show yourself then I'll scream." I threatened."In my own home?" Luciano replied as he stepped into the light.I was surprised to see him here, I quickly got down from the bed and I bowed in respect. "Alpha." He walked to where I stood and after looking at me for sometime, he took a sit on my bed."I didn't specify what your duties here are before." He said.My body was literally trembling, I was nervous and scared at the same time and I would love nothing more than to be a thousand feets away from him right now. I haven't forgotten what he said to me before, nor the hatred I saw in his eyes, he looked so bitter and he directed that anger at me before, a man like this is certainly capable of doing a
