Ariana's POVI opened my eyes at the beeping of my alarm and stretched lazily on my bed, my eyes caught the time by my bedside, it was 6:39 am, "damn, why does this always happen to me?" I quickly stood up from my bed, I must have sleepily snoozed my alarm to this time, it was supposed to ring and wake me up by 5: O'clock, I quickly changed from my robe and ran to Dylan's room, I had been up most of the night worrying about him, I raised my hand to knock on his door just as it suddenly swung opened as if he has been expecting me, he was all dressed up and I was puzzled by that, "are you going somewhere?"He stared at me for a moment and raised a brow, "you must be suffering from loss of memory, let me remind you that I have a business to run"He was going to work? Although he looked all Hale and fully recovered but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't rest a bit to make sure he has fully recuperated, "I have my memory intact, I just don't think it's the right thing to

Ariana's POVDylan had set a date with Myla and had sent me home earlier than before, why was he going out with her, had he started developing feelings for her once more, I'm aware of the fact that they were once sweethearts but I don't know the entire story of how they broke up, all I know was that Myla wanted the both of them back together and now it seems as if Dylan wants to give in to her, I was such a fool for thinking that there was a slight chance that he has started developing feelings for me, my heart constricted painfully as pain clogged up my throat, how could you do this Dylan? I whispered to no one in particular as tears welled up my eyes, no, I can't continue like this, I would have a word with him when he comes back, I think I have paid up my debt to him as a slave, it's been six months since I became his slave, I think he has to let me go. I was so lost in my thoughts as I walked out of the office that I didn't see Eric until I bumped into him, I didn't say any

Ariana's POVI groaned in pain as I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar house, I was lying on a bed, although the room was dark, I could see that everything in it was in red, bloody eerie red, where the heck am I and who had brought me here? "Hello! Anyone there?" I called out but my words only echoed around the room, I squirmed, trying to loosen the bound on my wrist, my head was bounding and I was sure even without touching it that it would be swollen, who the hell had brought me here and what does he want from me? From the corner of my eyes, I saw a shadow detach itself from the wall and moved towards me but it was too dark to see his face, my lips trembled and I jammed them together to still its trembling, "who...who..are..are..you?" I asked in a shaky voice, I knew I shouldn't exhibit fear but I couldn't help it, I would have to admit that I was scared out of my wit, the shadow made no reply but only came towards me, " do not struggle too hard, your bound won't come off"

Author's POVDylan smiled to himself as he thought of Ariana, he was ready to take their relationship to another level, no more the relationship between a master and a slave but that of a man and a woman, "I'm ready to accept and Ariana Lien, I love her" I whispered to my wolf and I felt it's joy, I was finally accepting a mate for him after so many years of estranging myself from love and relationships, he was practically singing in Glee, "why don't we give her a romantic dinner out today" Lien suggested and I almost laugh out loud at it's exuberant, "Slow down, will ya" I admonished softly"Don't wanna slow down anymore, I've waited long enough" I smiled, he had indeed waited long enough, now I am ready to open my heart and accept love once more, to accept what I am feeling for my slave, "alright! We'll take her out for dinner but first, we'll need to get her some good clothes don't you think?""Great idea" I almost rolled my eyes at his immediate excited response,

Ariana's POVI opened my eyes and stretched lazily on the bed, memories of what had transpired between me and Dylan assorted me and I blushed, my body felt pleasured, I could hear the shower running and guessed he was in the shower, I glanced at the bedtime clock, it was well into the night, I pulled off the blanket as I made to stand up and was met with my naked flesh, I became self-conscious of my nakedness and picked my cloth that was lying carelessly on the floor, I was just about to put it on when he came in only with a towel wrapped around his waist, I didn't hear the shower stop, unconsciously, my hand went to my breast, trying to shield it from his gaze, I saw his brow ache at my action, "isn't it too late for that?"I swallowed as he drew near, tearing the cloth away from my grip and throwing it away, "that's my cloth" I said weakly, feeling bare as I feel the night air against my naked flesh, "I know" he answered, as a matter of fact, putting his hands on my shou
