Chapter 11: Duct tape Ari's POV "I do not have time for this! I do not have time for you! So, be quiet and we are taking a trip to the palace to get my mate back and if you insist on giving me a headache, I will place a duct tape on your mouth" "This is kidnapping!" Aniston yelled as I carried her back to the car. She struggled to break free but her struggle made no difference to me. It was either her or me at the end of Alpha Ryan's fist and wrath. And it wasn't going to be me. I didn't have the time to be apologizing to anyone when I was yet to find Storm. "This is kidnapping!" She yelled again like I didn't hear her the first time. "Hush, if I wanted to kidnap someone, it would be a sane person. Just see this as a temporary collateral for losing my father's key. Just explain to Alpha Ryan what happened and you are free to find a bridge in Bayblue and jump off of it. So, we have a deal? Cool" I kept walking until I saw her grab what looked like strawberries. I quickly put h

Chapter 13: The big bad wolf Aniston’s POV “Are you going to apologize to me for knocking me unconscious?” His voice resonated. I stared at him. Have you ever met someone and you instantly know they were meant to be in your life? I mean the sky doesn’t change color and it doesn’t rain blood or anything like that but maybe it should. Maybe if it did, the boy in front of me would realize something I realized the very first moment I set my eyes on him but, it is more subtle than that. It was more like a feeling emanating from my abdomen like butterfly or maybe I had dysentery and I am yet to be aware of it in which case I should probably find a toilet but I know this wasn’t it. This was something more. I can feel it in my bones and Malia, my wolf hasn’t exactly been subtle about it. She’s been whispering in my subconscious too – Ari and I were destined to be something to each other, I would say soul mate but that would be a stretch. I want to tell him and I want to fight for what we

Chapter 15: All around scum Aniston's POV Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Aniston, come on! I tried to but my whole body screamed in protest. Breathe. It was a struggle not to go into a full panic attack mode but I had to since I needed to put on a brave face for Ari. You are damn right, I placed a smile on my face until he was out of sight but out of sight wasn't out of mind. Sometimes I wonder why mankind can invent helicopters and planes and bombs or a freaking space station but no one thought to make a breakup pill…I mean how hard would it be to make a pill that would make a heart broken person forget the existence of someone else…someone who had caused them unimaginable pain. How unfair is that?! Ari's appearance in my life was supposed to be a second chance but that was gone now. He walked away…no hesitation, no pause just…walked away. If that doesn't scream the end of the world, nothing else would. Nothing made sense anymore and the buzzing in my ears won't stop,

Aniston POV As Stormi drove us to a place I didn't know, we didn't talk much. I didn't ask any questions…questions a reasonable person should ask like 'where are you taking me?' 'Will I be welcomed?' 'Are you a family of werewolf serial killers?' I know…I know! The last question seemed a bit of a stretch but when you have the kind of bad luck I have then you will quickly realize that anything was possible, I once got stuck by lightning, I mean nobody gets struck by lightning but I did. I once rescued a baby cat but turns out it was actually a baby tiger and the mama came looking for it and found me holding it….try outrunning an angry tiger mama at fourteen, then we will talk. Bad Luck is my new normal but for some reason, I was not bothered. So, I sat there with my eyes closed and my face turned towards the open window. The sound of the wind drowned the voices in my head and the feel of the breeze on my face was soothing, it was my favorite feeling since I stopped feeling joy

Ari's POV I must have blinked about a million times, which I know is an exaggeration but it really felt like a million times yet the girl in front of me didn't disappear into a puff of smoke like I wanted. I blinked one more time, silently praying that Cephas laced my food with hallucinogenic mushrooms that was making me see the last person I wanted to see and she was somehow standing in my freaking hallway! I blinked again and again and again until the figment of my imagination leaned in like I was something she was trying to figure out and yelled. "Dude, stop blinking! I am real! Surprise!" She had this smile on her face like she was enjoying my pain…how was she enjoying my pain?! I realized I was asking the wrong question. My first question should have been, what the hell was Aniston aka suicide girl doing in the mansion in Bayblue? I opened my mouth to speak but she walked past me to the painting that was hung on the wall behind me. I blinked and turned around. I gotta stop
