Hi, just a nice chapter from Ariel's pov. I have some things planned her and Troy, so I hope you still like hearing from them. I went to therapy briefly after my dad died and when I was a teenager and I actually had to stand in front of the mirror and tell the therapist what I liked about myself, but I could only giggle because it felt so awkward. maybe Ariel will have a better experience ;)
Troy’s pov I went to the packhouse to pick Ariel up. I knew she wasn’t comfortable with me buying stuff for her, but she was my mate. I always envisioned spoiling my mate. Plus she deserved something nice. They were just clothes, I’d buy her the world if I could. Usually Ariel would wait for me outside the packhouse, but this time she wasn’t there yet. “Maybe she can’t decide what to wear,” Orlando suggested. I walked to her room and knocked on the door. “You can come in.” Ariel said and I opened the door. Ariel was standing in front of a large mirror, looking absolutely breathtaking. Her hair was even more beautiful than before. It looked a lot healthier too. She was wearing a bit of make-up and a really cute dress. It was a black halter dress with tiny straps. It covered her scar, which I knew was important to her and it hugged her body. It was short and showed off her legs. “You look so good! Your hair is gorgeous and that dress is incredible. You are incredible.” I told Arie
Ariel’s pov After three deserts we went home. My belly was way too full, but it had tasted really good. Troy even fed me some of his, making the date all the more romantic. “You want to see my house?” Troy asked. The thought of going to his place made me kind of nervous, I wasn’t sure if I was ready for something more than kissing. Troy must have seen my nervousness, because he put his arm around my shoulder. “We’ll go to the packhouse and then maybe tomorrow I can show you my house? We can have lunch together?” he said. “You’re not sick of me yet? That will be the third day in a row you’ve seen me?” I replied. “I could never get sick of you. I want to spend my life with you, three days are nothing compared to that. But if you’d rather have a day for yourself, it’s fine.” “I’ll come eat lunch at your place tomorrow.” I decided. Since coming here I had spent my Sundays in my room hating myself. So this would be a big improvement. Troy drove me back to the packhouse and we kissed
Osiris’ pov “Alpha? I know you told me to stay away, but I ran into that girl and I kind of lost my cool and yelled at her. She looked really scared and ran away. I am so sorry. Please don’t throw me out.” Larry’s voice said through the mindlink. I growled, “you were already warned Larry. I don’t have time to deal with you right now.” I didn’t have time, because I needed to see if Ariel was okay. First thing I did was call Ariel, but it went straight to voicemail. I mindlinked Troy, hoping she was with him. Shit, I really hope Ariel didn’t walk away again. “Is Ariel with you, Troy?” I asked. “No, she should be here any moment. Why?” Troy said, sounding concerned. I told Troy what Larry had said and Troy started to growl, “I will kill him.” “Just focus on finding Ariel right now, we will handle Larry after.” Larry had send me the location where he last saw Ariel and Troy, me and some trackers tried to track her trace. It took us all the way to the river and then we lost the trac
Troy’s pov I wanted to kill that guy, but I couldn’t leave Ariel. She needed me. I wanted her to see me when she woke up. “If she wakes up.” Orlando said, “you heard what Alpha Osiris said.” Orlando had been pushing me to mark Ariel, but I really thought she would come out of it. She had healing powers and she just needed some time. Maybe I was being selfish, what if Ariel didn’t forgive me for marking her without permission? But it wasn’t just that, she didn’t have a choice growing up and especially not with that Tyrion bastard. So to take her choice away again? “But to save her? She would understand.” Orlando said. Alpha Osiris said I had some time to think about it. I had been here for almost a week now. My parents came by on day two, trying to get me to go home, to shower and sleep. “Like you would go home if something happened to dad?” I said and they didn’t argue with me. Instead my mom went to my house and got me some clothes and toiletries and asked the hospital staff in
Ariel’s pov “Hi Ariel,” a woman’s voice said. I couldn’t really see anything. Did I die? I did die right? I felt this sense of peace and calmness, but that was suddenly gone. “Yes, you died. But Troy found you and he and the doctors have been trying everything to save you.” the voice said again. Did she just read my mind? “Yes,” she started to laugh, “get used to it girl. Because I am here to stay! I am your wolf Samantha!” Samantha sounded really happy and excited, but all I felt was confusion. A wolf? She came closer to me and my eyes were starting to get used to my surroundings. Not that there was anything here, it was just a dark space. But before me stood a ginger wolf. She wasn’t as big as Troy’s, but not small either. And she was beautiful. Blue eyes and fur the color of the sunrise. “Well, you’re pretty awesome yourself honey,” Samantha laughed. “I know it’s all freaking weird, but I will explain okay?” “So you know your father. That stupid bastard?” She started. “Yea
Cyrus pov “Please April. Even Troy said I should fucking try it.” April shook her head, ‘Cy, I love you. But we just had a baby. If something happened to you. If things went wrong. I couldn’t forgive myself.” “So don’t let Thea do it. Do it yourself. Just like the first fucking time.” I said seductively. “You want me to have sex with you four weeks after giving birth?” she asked. O no, I messed up. “Shit, haven’t you healed yet? I thought we didn’t have sex, because we were both too fucking tired to try. Shit April. I know humans take six weeks, but I’d figured you’d be faster.” April laughed, “I am healed dummy. I just meant I have a lot going on. Not to mention Leia wakes up every few hours, so,- “ I interrupted, “woman, I am not asking you to woo me and buy me flowers. I haven’t been able to touch you in weeks and you’re mere fucking touch would probably be enough to make me cum on the spot. I just want to be close to you and for you to mark me again. And maybe have some qui
Kane’s pov Life here has been good. Well, not all of it. But lately things have been great and Damian is so much happier now. It’s not just that he’s free physically, it’s like he’s let go off so much stress. I have my old Damian back, but better. Because when I first met Damian we were always hiding and at this pack we don’t have to hide. The biggest problem they had with us was not that we were gay, but that I was human. And that all will change if Damian accepts my proposal. I have been planning it for weeks, Mia has been helping me. I wanted to ask Luna Lily, but she just had a baby. Same for Cyrus, I don’t want to bother him. Meadow and Chris have helped too, since Meadow and Mia work so closely at the store, I had to fill her in too. Tonight is the blood moon and tonight I am asking Damian to marry me and mark me again. Hopefully I’ll get my wolf and then I’ll finally mark Damian. I didn’t want to do the whole blood ritual. Not when I knew there was a better way to be connect
Troy’s pov “She just woke up yesterday.” I told them. “I understand, but we just need a fucking minute. Please. You don’t get it, we’re a fucking team now.” Cyrus said. Kane laughed, “we just want to ask Ariel how it was for her. We won’t stay long.” Ariel shouted from across the room, “it’s okay Troy.” Ariel had woken up yesterday and she seemed a lot better. After I marked her, I saw nothing for a while. Until she began to look healthier. I called the doctor and told him that I marked her. He removed the breathing tube and the rest of the wires, because she didn’t need them anymore. But it still took hours before she woke. April and Damian had both mindlinked me halfway through, asking me if I had marked Ariel and what had happened. They admitted they had done the same and that both Cyrus and Kane were out cold. Prisha went by to see Cyrus and another doctor checked on Kane, but they were both fine. Just in a really deep sleep. But seeing them now, they looked different. It mu
