Ariana POVI thought Damien was going to find out about my secret when he came to the gym. I wondered how he knew I was there at the gym, training. It was something he didn't know about me. I wanted to keep it that way. As my arm hurt, I found it difficult to throw punches towards the punching bag. I kept the injury a secret from Diana until she saw me when I exposed the wound. I had to cook up a lie at the very last minute but I guess that she already had an incentive but I decided not to confirm it. The wound wasn't healing as fast as I would like. Going to the infirmary with Damien, made me very scared because I felt the truth might be discovered again. Each moment where I didn't tell him the truth, he was closer to it and that scared me the most. I appreciated that he told me the issue he had with shifting. I felt very terrible that he trusted me with something like that and yet, I was finding it difficult to tell him what I had been hiding. After we made up, we made out in m

Damien POVI wanted her to have a good time. There was nothing I wouldn't do for her. seeing her smile as she ate was the best thing. Sometimes, I hated myself and told myself why I sometimes pushed her away. I didn't like the way she complained. The project we were to handle was taking most of my time. I dreamt of her when the day was almost over. I loved her so much, I knew it was a bit too early but I was so sure about her. Although I felt like there were a lot of layers to her still I was happy that she was in my life.The park was a bit scanty, so I made the staff prepare for a smooth picnic. I just wanted a quiet day with just her, not with Diana hovering around me. A few times, I have wanted everyone to stay clear of me. The way I tried to move away from everyone, someone would think I had something going on. I just wanted to be by myself and when she came everything became easier. She was always in my mind every hour of the day."Ever since I have been here, studying, I have

Damien POV"What do you mean she collapsed?" I rushed out of my bed. It was too early to be listening to this kind of news. I wanted to hear her voice again. Suddenly, I wanted to fill myself with her scent of jasmine. Hide my face in her hair. All that went to shit with just one phone call."I was still asleep when she went to the gym and on getting there, they were trying to revive him," Diana explained to me as I put on some clothing."Fuck. I'm coming right away." I ended the call before she could say another word. As I stepped out of the car, the driver was ready to drive but I grabbed the keys from him."Where are you rushing to this early?" Darius interrupted."I'm going to take care of something, I will be back soon." There was no point in giving him the details because it was going to raise more panic and I didn't want that. Since she collapsed in an open area, the whole school might have beens aware. The gossip blogs may even intervene with their gracious self trying to plug

Ariana POVI was very scared.Scared of dying abruptly because the pain I felt was unimaginable. I wanted to rest in a place called mine, someplace where I would not be scared of someone invading my thoughts. A place where I can be free to think, to fear and still come up with my head held high. As safe as it was with Damien, it was stressful because of how much I had to be watchful of what I said or thought. I shouldn't be walking around eggshells with him. It was too exhausting to keep a secret. It was difficult to maintain a secret. To express yourself when you have everything to hide. I knew the moment my secret was revealed, it was going to take a lot to get out of that mess. I didn't want to experience what that was like. Now, he was waiting to see my wolf. A part of me that has refused to flesh out it was because of that my health decided to take a huge spiral and almost end me. If I wasn't at the gym or somewhere public, I would have been dead. It was a fact that gave me goos

Ariana POVI had gone to bed quite late because I had stayed up bingeing my favourite series that I hadn’t watched in a while and so I had woken up super late.I had not woken up on my own accord, my bladder threatening to burst if I didn’t relieve it made me wake up.So after freeing it, I decided to kill as many birds as I could with that singular stone, brushing, bathing and changing into fresh clothes before going downstairs.The scent of food assaulted my nose before I could even get halfway down the stairs.My stomach grumbled in appreciation of the scent and I knew that I had to hurry to the source of the scent immediately.As I walked downstairs I could pick apart another scent that wasn’t Damien or Darius or even anyone I knew for that matter.I made my way into the kitchen to find a servant there with another female talking.I could tell when they felt my presence because both of their backs stiffened and they slowly turned around to face me.The new person stared at me like
