Alice heaved a sigh of relief when Arianna cracked a smile. She went through Arianna's things but found nothing incriminating. She was sure that Arianna was hiding something but couldn't find it. How does one look for what he doesn't know? She followed her back into the room, and Arianna put her through the Algebra equations. Her mind was far away from what she was being taught, it was until Arianna touched her arm before she looked up. " Where did you go?" She asked.Alice shook her head to get rid of the malicious thoughts that clouded her mind." I am with you."" What did I say?"" Huh?" Alice asked." Admit it, your mind was far away. What are you thinking about? Do you want to share?" She asked."No, I've just been spacing out a lot lately, I think I should see a specialist."" Well, I wish I had powers, I could have healed you." Arianna answered with a laugh, though her words were not playful." Powers?" Alice feigned surprise.Arianna dropped her pen and closed her book, " Yes,

"You are doing the same." Lucas retorted not backing down."Break it up, you two." Brianna intervened. "Go your separate ways, come down when you are calm." She ordered and each of them went to their respective rooms.Alice rolled her eyes, why didn't Brianna allow them to fight?" What is causing their spat?" Brianna asked Alice who shrugged." I'll be in my room." She announced and went upstairs.Brianna knocked on her daughter's room door. " What the hell happened downstairs?"" He wanted to guilt trip me."" Because you didn't take him along with you."" Like we expected. How could I have been foolish to love such a manipulator?" She asked." You couldn't have known, you have always loved him ever since you could express yourself, and he preyed on that. He had us all fooled. It is such a pity that he turned out to be this way." Brianna replied." I just wish I can drive some nails into his head. I wish I can make them feel how hurt I am feeling right now. They took Dad away from m

Walking down to school with her head held up high, Arianna hummed a song, it was from kindergarten, and it stuck to her head. " Where are we gonna be tomorrow?" It depicted her real-life situation. No one knew where they were going to be in the next minute. One minute she was dead and the next, she was on a mission for revenge. Her father was in the great beyond." Will we still be friends tomorrow?" She was lost in the song that she didn't know when Lucas caught up with her." Hey." He touched her, causing her to stop. He was panting heavily." I have been calling you forever. Where is your phone?" He inquired." My pocket, I didn't hear it ring." She replied." Why did you not take the car today?" He asked when he caught his breath.How was she to tell him that she felt suffocated whenever they rode together to school? " Nothing, I have been very lazy, I needed to stretch my legs." She replied." Why don't you come to the gym? get your muscles toned and all, not that they are not to

He opens the door“Arianna Good morning,” he said“Good morning” Lucas repliedShe noticed he was a bit nervous and was behaving suspiciously.I hope you are well.she asked with her eyes widening.I'm good, he said, nodding his head in affirmation.I want to borrow your note. I need to compare something in it with my notes before I get prepared for my makeup test.Arianna said to him.Hold on, let me get it for you.He said.He shut the door and made a relieved sigh. He found the note and gave it to her.Ohh Thank you, Arianna, said.The news about her forthcoming birthday and coronation had spread wide and far all over social media, reaching the corners of the pack and beyond.Brianna knew time was no longer on their side; they needed to start planning for the event.She has sent out invitation cards to the people she promised to invite properly.Lucas' heart brimmed with joy because he knew his long-awaited dream of being the Alpha of the pack will come to reality in a few weeks.H

Arianna immediately tried to open the bag which seemed to have a lock. Hurriedly, she left his room to pick a carver which she intended to rip up the bag with.Surprisingly, she found Alice on the staircase on her way back to his room.She immediately hid the carver by putting it by her right side.“Did I frighten you”? Alice asked jokingly noticing the tension all over her.“Frighten”? She replied laughing out loud.“I wasn’t expecting to see you, I was only surprised” she added.Alice remained suspicious due to Arianna’s countenance and how impatient she was getting.“I was just on my way to Lucas's room to check on him,” Arianna said cringing.On hearing she was on her way to Lucas's room, Alice instantly felt like strangling her right on the spot.The feeling was mutual as Arianna also felt like using the carver on her right-hand side on Alice who was delaying her from finding out the contents of the bag.Arianna knew she had to get to Lucas's room as soon as possible if she wante
