Ariana When I was dragged to the dungeon, I wrinkled my nose at the bad smell and state it was in. The place smelled like someone had died and was left there to rot. It seemed they didn’t even bother to clean and maintain it just because it was meant to imprison people. I groaned as I was suddenly thrown into a cell a little roughly and landed on my butt. “You better start talking before they torture you real bad. The Alpha can be ruthless.” The delta who had brought me here said, averting my gaze. He looked like he was being forced to do this. But why did these people just sit around and not do anything when they are being abused? Don’t werewolves have rights or something? “The torture will be futile. I answer to no one.” I said and I saw his eyes flash. “You have no choice. It’s do or die. You don’t want your loved ones to die because of your disobedience, trust me, I’ve been there.” The man in front of me suddenly dropped his eyes and looked sad, spiking my curiosity. Did h

Lewis “Listen up everybody!” I called the attention of all the warriors who were getting ready to shift into their wolves and they all turned to look at me. “We don’t know what we will find once we enter the Winter mist pack. Some of us may even end up losing our lives there. I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of you in advance for volunteering to help. It’s not an easy task to leave your mates and go on a mission that’s not clearly known. And for that, I say thank you for being brave.” I said out loud, walking back and forth in front of them. I took a moment to look at the several men and women who might end up losing their lives and I felt guilt rise within me. I wish there was a way to stop them from getting hurt in case a fight broke out. “We are happy to help you and your mate, Beta.” One of them said as the rest began to murmur the same. I lowered my gaze, staring at my feet. No amount of words could express how grateful I was. Looking up, I smiled a littl

Ariana I refused to believe it but Lewis was gone. Vanished from this world. Forever. Not even a body was left for me to take back to his pack and give him a befitting burial. My heart was throbbing painfully. It was suffocating. Was this really the end? Reality hit me like a painful stab to the stomach. How did I not see this coming? I was supposed to be the one gifted with the sight of the future. But it was useless… I couldn’t save my mate from his unfair demise. It was my fault. The empty hollow in my heart was a painful reminder of the fact that the other half of my soul had been brutally ripped out. But why did I feel like all my soul had been torn away from me? I clutched my chest where my heart should be, crouching down as a gnawing pain hit my heart repeatedly. Goddess please… tell me this is a nightmare. My mind was awash with thoughts. If only I had focussed on trying to see new visions, I would have seen this and prevented it. I felt my lip trembling as t

I sighed against Lewis’ lips as he kissed me deeply. Parting my lips, I kissed him back with all I had. Pouring my heart and soul into it. My heart constricted thinking about how I almost lost him. No. In fact, I did lose him. He died right in front of me and it felt like the end of the world. I swear, I didn’t know what I would have done if I was only a human and couldn’t use magic to reverse time. For the first time, I was glad I was a hybrid. At least, I could use my witch powers to bring back my mate. We continued kissing for a couple of minutes until our lips turned a little bit numb. I didn’t plan on ending this anytime soon. I wanted evidence that he was really here and he was not a figment of my imagination. I wanted to feel his skin on mine. To touch him and taste him. I wanted our souls to mold as one, for me to feel that we would always be together and he would never leave abruptly like that again. Someone suddenly cleared their throat and interrupted our hot m

Lewis I could feel Ariana’s eyes on my side profile as I steered the car. We had been driving for hours and were almost arriving at the blackmist pack territory. “How long are you going to stare at me like that?” I asked her. She had been behaving rather odd since the day of the battle. More often, I would find her staring at me with sad eyes. As if she was afraid that if she took her eyes away from me, I would disappear. I turned to give her a side glance and she smiled warmly at me. “I just can’t believe you’re here with me.” She said quietly. Her words made me frown in confusion. Why did she keep repeating that, could it be that something happened to me that I have no memories of? “I’ll always be here with you. You know that.” I replied, returning my gaze to the road. “It’s just that you’re looking at me with wistful eyes. I’m here… in the flesh.” “Yeah… I can see that.” The moment she said that I felt her hand slide to the front of my pants, massaging my manhood. “How
