Thank you for reading... Sorry for one chapter today... I'm still writing the other one. I'll update 3 tomorrow. Don't forget to vote with a gem and leave a review.
Ariana I woke up feeling weak, wondering when I had fallen asleep. The bed wasn’t as comfortable as it usually is, making me frown. I looked around, realization dawning upon me when I saw the different room I was in. My heart thumped loudly. Where was I? “... Lora the Alpha instructed me to take her to the pack. This was not what we planned.” My ears perked up, hearing voices outside. Jace? Was he the one who brought me here? Why? Who was he talking to? I wondered. “Oh forget about that old man. I didn’t plan on following his plan anyway. I’ll have her all to myself.” A woman’s voice reached my ears. “But she doesn’t even know what she is…” “Oh she will…that’s why I told you to bring her here.” I frowned, putting the pieces together as I recalled how I might have found myself here. ~Flashback hours prior~ I rushed out of the company and took a cab to the cafe that Jace was at, hoping he hadn’t done anything stupid. The moment I walked through the cafe doors, I was sudd
I have been here for a week. Every night, Jace would drag me outside for Lora to perform her spells on me, making me drink the bitter stuff she called potions. Each time she would get angry when she didn't get what she wanted. It seemed she was a witch and was trying to extract some power from me to make herself powerful. I was shocked that there were people who practiced witchcraft, thought it was just a myth. What was more baffling was they thought I was a witch with special powers. She said something like a person who could tell the future could conquer the world. But they got the wrong person. I had no such powers. I thought she would have known that by now since whatever she was doing wasn't working. The past few days have been hard. I would sleep off the day, trying to escape from reality, hoping when I woke up I would be back in Lewis’s arms. Gosh, I missed him and I wondered if he was looking for me or he had given up. Did he really believe that I had eloped with Jace? I
“Ariana.” Someone was calling me. It was a female. The voice was so soothing and I couldn’t help but smile to myself. “Ariana, child wake up.” My eyes flew open. I knew that voice. “Mama?” I called out, my heart racing as I looked around but I saw nothing. Where was she? “Baby girl… you can’t see me. I’m not really here. I just begged to talk to you briefly when I saw your spirit trying to cross over.” My mother said and tears streamed down my face. I wish I could see her. “I miss you mama.” My voice croaked. “I know my love. I miss you too. Ariana, don’t give up. You will understand everything once you read the letter, you’ve found him sweetheart. Your soulmate, he’s on his way to you. Now wake up… read my letter and destroy the darkness that looms in the Kim family…..” “What? Mama? I don’t understand!” I screamed out, panicking when her voice faded towards the end. “I love you….” Her voice echoed in my head and I ran around, calling out to her desperately. I was suddenl
Lewis I rushed to the airport with Tyson. Ariana's phone was found in the restroom. I wanted to see if we could get more information or ask around if they saw anything. "I pulled some strings. We can get the list of people who had actually boarded the plane and their profiles too." Tyson said as we entered the building and I gave a curt nod. I would do anything to find her and I just hope I'm not too late. We went to the office of an officer and I showed him Ariana's picture. "Can you scan this face and see if the person boarded the plane a week ago?" It was rude to just go straight to the point but Tyson had already talked to him prior. We didn't have time for pleasantries. "Um… sure sir." The man said and began to work. I paced around the room anxiously. It would be my fault if anything happened to her. I should have searched for her. Guilt welled up in me as I thought about my mate. After about 30 minutes, the man was done and he shook his head. "No Sir… our system can't
Ariana I was officially dick-whipped. If there was such a term. Heck, Lewis and I hadn't reached the last phase of our relationship yet but a single word from him would make me melt in his arms. I couldn't stay mad at him. I kind of understood why he kept it a secret. Who would believe someone who just went up to them and claimed to be a werewolf? If Jace didn't freak me out in advance, I would have probably lost my mind seeing Lewis shift from a wolf to a human. I couldn't believe Jace is a werewolf. He didn't look like one. I mean, look at Lewis. That man was smoking! His beauty was otherworldly… his blue eyes were like two deep pools, I could drown in them willingly. Hot water poured on me as I took a shower, washing off the blood on my body. We had returned to our home an hour ago. Lewis wanted to help me bath but I declined, I needed time alone to think. Everything that happened in the past week had drained the life out of me. I sighed, wondering when Jace and the crazy witch
Lewis I could hear her heart racing. She was afraid I would lie to her again. But I wouldn't… I stuttered because I didn't know how to say it. For the first time in my life, I regretted living a carefree life. I should have been loyal to the mate bond and waited for my mate. It's different for Ariana because she didn't know that her soulmate existed. Tightening my arms around her, I placed my chin on her head. "I didn't know I had a mate here baby." I said. "Then you just came to work in the company?" "No. I left my pack temporarily so I could move on… I thought I loved someone but it was just infatuation." I said truthfully and I heard her heart skip a beat. Silence followed after I said that, only the sound from the TV and our hearts beating in sync could be heard. Please say something my love. "Did you love her very much? Who is she?" Ariana asked in a low voice. I honestly didn't know how to answer the first question. Did I really love Zoe? "I thought I did… but whe
The few seconds that it took Lewis to answer were the most painful seconds of my life. I dreaded his answer. What if he said no? What would I do? I had never felt this nervous before, not even when I was writing my first exam. Lewis sighed and pulled me into his arms, holding me in place when I tried to wriggle free. “Don’t move and listen.” I stayed still, letting his warmth and the sparks calm me down. “I won’t lie to you that I would have loved you at first sight. But after getting to know you… your wonderful personality. You’re kind, hardworking and compassionate. I would have fallen for you even without the mate bond. So please don’t have such thoughts about us. If the bond was taken away from us today, I would still feel the same about you.” I nodded, not knowing what to say. Did I overreact? My thoughts were interrupted when Lewis curled his finger under my chin and tilted my head up. He leaned down and kissed me gently, pouring his love into it and I felt it. It was real.
Lewis The hatred rolling off Ariana’s aunt was worrying. My stomach turned when she told me to stay away from Ariana. I almost growled and pulled my mate into my arms possessively but I held myself back as I watched Judy pulling her into the house. Ariana motioned for me to wait outside with her eyes just as her aunt banged the door in my face. Fuck… it was like a punch in the face. I never knew I would encounter family drama when trying to claim my mate. I was learning a lot in the human town. Just because you love someone doesn’t mean she’s yours automatically. You need to make effort and looking at my situation… making her family accept you too was a given. A contrast to the werewolf ways. As long as you’re fated mates, your families had no choice but to accept whether they like it or not. I wasn’t complaining though. I would humbly beg mama bear to accept me as Ariana’s mate if I had to. Their voices reached my ears as I stood on the porch... Still a bit taken aback by the tur
