DamienIf I had known about them being mates with Diana then maybe things wouldn't be so messed up. Diana was just a figure that stood beside me just because of the pack. I never knew she was a ticking time bomb. When she risked everything to me, it all made sense. While she was always near, especially when I needed to talk to someone. There was nothing else that would have fit in if she wasn't in the pictures Her aunt being Ariana's step mom, it felt like the final piece to a puzzle. It was clear why she was always disappearing even when I knew that she was cheating. I didn't know someone higher than her was also influencing her decisions. Darius had no reason to hide that information from me. “Yes, I would have cared. Maybe it would have been a way to stay with Ariana all along.” He scoffed. “Can you even hear yourself? Do you need me as a reason to be with your mate? Someone that has been with you since the very beginning of your relationship. You wanted a figure for your reputa
Ariana's POV"You abomination! You no longer my daughter, from now!""What do you think you have done? Pack your things, a car is waiting for you out there. Get in and leave!” my dad yelled at me in rage, his eyes holding a certain kind of disgust I had never seen before.Watching him, tears streamed down my cheeks as I darted my eyes from him to my stepmom who was having a grin on her face. She liked to see me suffer, and I was sure it was part of her plan just to get rid of me.Slumped to the floor, I was confused about what to do. I knew he asked me to go study in Blue Moon pack, but that wasn't what I wanted.“You are still here? I would rather not find you here when I get back!” he yelled again.“Dad, believe me. Marcus is lying. I never tried to seduce his brother.” I explained.“You didn't what? Your stepmom caught you, yet you want to deny it? How despicable can you be? All you are invested in is to tarnish my name. That won't work, not when I am alive!” he grumbled.“She fabr
Ariana's POV“We have math. I hope you are ready?” Diana said as we headed for a classroom.“Maths?” I stuttered. My pupils circled in their sockets.“That's her! She always behaves like the Queen of the school. Gosh, I hate her.”“I know right? Acting all bossy just because her dad is the Alpha.”Some girls whispered while staring in disgust at us, most especially Diana. I looked at her only to see her teeth grinding tight. Her fingers balled into a fist while her eyes burned in anger.Suddenly, they started changing from normal brown color to blue and I could tell she was on the verge of bringing her wolf out.“One more word and your heads will be sent rolling down the floor.” she snapped at the girls and immediately they scrambled off in fear due to her change of aura.She looked so terrifying, and even I was caught in it. Was this how it was when someone had a wolf? I thought to myself. Since I was wolf-less, I was treated like a bag of trash in my house.The day I clocked eightee
Ariana's POV“mate?”“Mate!”I said right after him, staring in shock. Back then in class, I didn't get to see his face properly, but up close I was speechless. His face was perfectly structured and beautiful.The way his lips were carved was so sexy that I could feel a magnet pulling me right to him to capture them in mine. My thoughts turned chaotic. I was stuck between admiring his beauty or saying something.“You are my mate? Wow, not bad.” he suddenly smiled, still staring at me.My heart began to pound heavily in my chest. This was the first time I was confronted by a boy who happened to be my mate. The other guy, Marcus, came to me with nothing but lies.All I had for him was hatred, but with this person before me, I felt pulled towards him. He was giving me butterflies, and I was able to tell he was my mate.Sniff! Sniff!He started sniffing the surrounding air. All these while I could see he had something to say but had been holding back. His sudden action tucked me to the ed
Ariana’s POVI couldn’t get my head over what Diana said as we made a run through the pathway heading to the exit. For some reason, every student had also gone out of the school and must be on that pack run Damien talked about.It must be a race, right? That was what I thought as we then took another route heading towards a gathering. The day had traveled into the night, but one can still see his path.The gathering was large and ahead of it was filled with trees lined up. Every student was facing those line-up trees while some teachers were around giving speeches.“It’s a leg race, right,” I said turning towards Diana, but shockingly she started ripping her clothes off leaving me stuck and dazzled.“A leg race? Hell no! It’s called a pack run because we are expected to run in our wolf form” She giggled, while I felt like I was hit with a massive bolt of lightning.“With our wolves?” I yelled with open eyes as though I had seen my worst nightmare. It was only my first day in school, a
Ariana’s POV“What the heck is going on back there?” Someone said from afar, but his voice was loud enough.“I thought all the students were here. Whose voice was that?” Another said.“You all should shift into your wolves and begin the run. The Alpha himself is coming to watch you, so you better impress him.” The first voice said. “Now let’s go over there and check who made that scream,” he continued.Hearing this, my heart thumped faster. I looked at Diana with bloodshot eyes. Even though I didn’t say a word, I hope my eyes had told her what she did was quite foolish.“Let’s go.” She said and started dragging me out of the building we were hiding over to the open field.“We are going to get caught,” I said terrifyingly. At this point, I was more bothered about getting caught than the pain I was engulfed in.“That’s expected. They will catch us anyway so it’s better to give them something convincing. You’ll have to thank me later.” She smirked and started dragging me until we were fu
ArianaI didn't know how to tell him. He was already sensing that something was wrong. I was in serious pain and I kept praying to the goddess that the secret I was trying so hard to keep was kept safe. I tried to make up scenarios in my head where I had to with the lies I had decided to tell. It means everything to me that I have found my mate. Everything felt like it made sense. It was meaningful to me that I had the person, I was going to spend the rest of my life with. "I asked a question." His voice was a little darker. I could sense his worry. "Yeah, I haven't been feeding well because you know, I had work to do. The lack of nutrients affects my healing most of the time."He narrows his eyes at me. "I don't get it. That shouldn't be a problem.""I don't understand." I pretended. I faked my confusion. "As werewolves, we have to eat. It is a necessity that always has control over us because of our animalistic side. You lacking nutrients isn't just right because as a wolf you ha
Damien pov"Who the hell told you that?" I growled.As the son of the Alpha, all my life I have tried to navigate the rumours that are mostly thrown at me. Some I know of others I do not know of. It was crazy to think about it but I never knew that attitude was always going to follow me. Even in this school where I had just come to study. .my vision was blaring red, I wanted to know the asshole that has chosen to ridicule me to my mate.It was surprising that someone had already come to let her know all of these things, especially when I had just found out about her after a few hours. "Answer me, Ariana or I would not take it likely with you?" I gritted. "Is it that bitch?" "I would take anything from you but I would not be able to Take that kind of insult towards my friend." I wasn't going to take back what I had said because I knew just how much of a bitch she was. She has always acted shady towards me but I haven't been able to give her the attention that she so craved. It was
