Ariana's POV
I huffed angrily as I entered my office, "how could he make such a drastic decision without informing me first?" I rolled my eyes as I paced in my office, but the thought of being the face of the company's calendar is exciting just as it was scary, my heart skipped a bit just thinking of it, "gosh! I'm gonna mess it up for him, for goodness sake, I'm not even pretty" "No, I can do it..." A knock sounded on my door interrupting my thoughts and the knob slowly turned to reveal Mr. Aziz, the messenger, he walked in when I beckoned for him to come in but stood beside the door looking all scared and nervous, I was puzzled by his action, why was he here and why was he looking so nervous? He stretched his hands towards me only then did I realize he was holding a piece of paper which he was now handing over to me, I slowly walked towards him and collected it, "what's this and who sent it?" His eyes only widened at my question, why was he behaving strangely? He sAriana's POVI walked beside Dylan into the building as his name was announced that he had arrived, eyes turned towards the door, gosh, they even had to announce his arrival, I felt so self conscious as we were led to the seat reserved for him, I sat in a huff and took a deep breath as I tested my wobbling legs, thank God I didn't insist on wearing those heels, the way my legs are shaky, I would have fallen straight on my face and further disgraced myself, "relax, they don't bite anyone in here" Dylan's tone was filled with amusement and I rolled my eyes, he just wouldn't get it, my eyes took I'm the decor if the big room, the high chandeliers and marbled floor, soft music were playing and there are waiters and waitresses all up and doing, just as soon as we were seated, Dylan was approached and asked what brand of wine he would like to have, the women were all dressed in different kind of beautiful gowns, like those shown in operas,I almost smiled broadly when I realized that
Dylan's POVI saw her standing alone and obviously wiping tears from her eyes, I gritted my teeth, I'll deal with whoever was responsible for those tears, I quickly walked towards her, the moon was high in the sky and I felt myself changing when the rays fell on me, "what the ...!" And then it hit me, how could I possibly forget that today was the night of the new moon, it was no longer a surprise to me about why the hunters were here, it would be expected that on this day, werewolves would not be able to hide their forms, this was the day that every werewolf needed to be careful and here I was, like a fool, now I'll not only be in danger, I've managed to also put Ariana in danger and my secret would now be revealed right before her, I needed to get my ass outta here Asap, I could feel my furs on my skin and my paws already at the tip of my fingers, no! I can't turn into a wolf right now, "lien, help me please, I don't need you out" I whispered to my wolf, "I can't control it, you kn
Dylan's POVMy heart constricted painfully at her words, she's leaving, "you can't leave me" I gritted,my heart racing, not wanting to believe what she said, I swallowed hard, trying to swallow the bitter taste of betrayal, she didn't say a word, she just kept on putting her clothes in her bag, I dragged the clothes she was holding and about to put inside the bag and flung it and watched with satisfaction as it hits the floor, you can't leave me, I yelled grabbing her shoulders, I shook her hard that her teeth chattered, "you're hurting me" was all she managed to say and my eyes went to where I had grabbed her by the shoulders and noticed that my claws were digging into her, I didn't even know they were out, abruptly, I left her as if she burns, I took two calming breathe carefully letting my claws go back right in, I ran my fingers through my hair and repeated more calmly, "you can't leave me" she kept a straight face and I felt like shaking her again, I grabbed her and looked deep i
Samantha's POVI paced the hospital waiting area, worried sick, at interval, I glanced at Ariana who was twisting her fingers in a nervous gesture, I wondered why she had to come back, it was a welcomed relieve when she was taken away as a slave, I truly do see her as bad luck because whenever she was around, only something negative do happen to us, she came back this morning and look father is undergoing surgery, I wished I had a normal sister like some of my friends, one to chat and tell everything, someone who doesn't bring Ill luck to the family and most especially, someone who isn't a freak, I wondered why she was back, perhaps, her bad luck had been reflected to where the boss is and he had sent her packing, I frowned but if that was the case then why had he come to our house so this morning, perhaps the rumor was true that she was sleeping with the boss and they had a lovers fall out, again, I shook my head at my silly thoughts, Dylan Sabastine will not even glance her way twic
Ariana's POV"Oh my gosh! What am I gonna say?" I could feel my body trembling uncontrollably, they were asking who the wolf was, that means the CCTV didn't capture Dylan when he was transforming but what if they find out? More cameras flashed and I used my hands to shield my face against the flashing light of the cameras, my body was suddenly so cold and my legs were finding it difficult to hold me up, how do they know that I was here? Now, my name was being linked to a murder case, for the umpteenth time, I regretted luring Dylan into the moon, besides, it wasn't murder, it was self-defense, those people were going to kill him, "where is the wolf?" Another reported screamed and I licked my suddenly dry mouth, "speak up madam will you?" Suddenly their voice seemed distinct and faded, I tried to focus on their suddenly blurred faces as they bombarded me with questions and hoarded around me like a shark with teeth bared and ready to devour me, I felt my legs give way and I was slipping
Samantha's POVI watched as Ariana walked away with the doctor, how dare she, we've been living fine without her, I didn't want her to donate her filthy blood to my dad but right now, my hands are tied, "freak" I whispered"Such venom, why do you hate your sister so much?" I had forgotten he was here, what was he doing hovering around me, I felt like smacking him across his face so that next time, he would mind his damn business, "look Mr..." Damn I don't even know his name, I saw a flicker of a smile cross his face, "you can call me Damien" "I don't care what your name is, just mind your business okay""Tsk, tsk, tsk, such hateful behavior, all fire and brimstone, can't you learn a thing or two from your sister?""Oh shut up, you don't know her, what does she have that's worth emulating, no thanks, I'm okay the way I am" he looked like he was about to say something but thought twice about it, better, I don't want to hear any word that will get me all riled up either, I paced the hal
Ariana's POV Soon, dad was discharged from the hospital, he gradually got better but have not been able to meet my eyes nor had he even utter a word to me since he regained consciousness, it hurt so bad deep inside but I pretended I was okay in front of everyone and they bought my charade, at least I thought they bought it, not until Dylan drew me aside when I was about entering the house, "are you alright?" I withdrew my hand from his grasp, still pissed with him, "what does it matter to you?" "Of cause it does matter to me, my feelings towards you have not changed""Oh yeah! Well mine towards you has changed, just let me be" a pained expression crossed his face, he opened his mouth to say something but I guess the words got stuck because he had to clear his throat before trying again, "I can't do that, I can do anything for you except staying away from you" he said the words with such fervor that I felt my heartbeat skipped a bit and liquid heat pooled in my belly, no Ariana, don't
Author's POVDylan paced his office, he kept glancing at where Ariana would have been in her office but of cause, she wasn't there, did she want to quit now? He gritted his teeth as just the thought of that made his heart boil, "I won't let her leave just yet" he whispered fiercely, the thought of losing her for good was scarier than death, he had faced many difficulties and dangers in life and not once has he ever been afraid of anything, he always faced them Headon but he just doesn't know what to do about Ariana, the thought of losing her scares his pitiless, his wolf has not responded to him since that time at her house when she blatantly told him off, his wolf has been badly hurt by her words and Dylan wondered how they would be able to get out of this mess they were in, he grabbed his phone and punched her digits, grateful that he was able to get her phone the other day, although, she had at first rejected it but he wouldn't take no for an answer, he had told her to go throw it
