Ares Pov"Our dads want us to represent them at this year's Alphas summit," I told my brothers Ash and Adonis while we sat in the game room. "Why," Adonis asked "Too busy buried in mom," Ash said with a smirk."Okay, when your done getting your head out of the clouds, our dads are going out of town to see about some recent vamp attacks that have been going on within the packland" I explained."Typical of them to leave us with women", Adonis said with a smug look. "What about women?" Our mom asked, coming in with our sister Camilla and our Grandma Elena following behind her. "Just saying how glad we are to have you planning the summit gathering for the Alpha Kings," Ash says, getting up and hugging mom and grandma. As the youngest triplet, they always gave into him and his puppy dog mix matched eyes. "We will help you, yes, plus you are representing your dads as Alpha kings until the vampire issue is dealt with," Grandma Elena says, leaning against the wall. "Fine" Ash and Adonis
Arabella Pov Sam and I are getting our stuff ready for the Summit. The Summit lasts for 3 days. The first day consists of a meet and greet for everyone. The second day consists of business reports, as well as discussing possible alliances, etc. The last day is the royal masquerade ball. We have had a few masquerade balls here at the palace."Be in my limo in 25 minutes" King Damon's mind links me."Yes Alpha" I link back. I hardly doubt he will even be there in 25 minutes. Sam and I dont have much to pack. As for Omegas, we are only allowed to wear white t-shirts and black pants. It is the signature Omega look. It will also signify that we are not only omegas but servants as well. The lowest of the low. Sam is riding with the other omegas so we part ways once we get to the car lots. There are many cars lined up. One for the king, which is the one I will be in. The next for the queen. The next few are alphas and Lunas from the state that have decided to join. The rest are omegas and
Ares Pov All of the alphas are filling in the hall so we can spend the day going over reports they have. Ash is here beside me while Adonis makes sure everything else is going great. My mind is wandering back to the little omega servant from yesterday. I dont know why, but when I looked at her, I felt a sense of peace. Something I've never felt before and I was curious to know more about her, but by the way, today's reports are going, it looks like we will be here all day. She is so beautiful with her blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes. Her hair was wrapped in a bun, but I could tell it was probably long. She has such natural beauty and I admit I would have looked at her all day, but I had business to attend to. When I looked for her, she seemed to have disappeared. I don't know why I am taking an interest in one girl and my Lycan Strike won't stop pacing in my head either. I focused my attention back on the meeting on hand. I'm sure I will cross paths with her again.Arabella Pov T
Arabella PovIt's the last day of the summit. Thankfully, neither the king nor the Queen requested me last night and I was able to heal. Sam and I get ready for today. Since today is the ball, we have to be there walking around with drinks and serving others. It will be crawling with Alpha kings, Queens, so it will be all hands on deck.Sam, Cassie, and I walk together with the rest of the servants, while my mind goes back to the triplet called Adonis, and one of the other triplets from the first day. The one who made me feel warm inside. I believe he said his name was Ares. They have such appealing names. I shouldn't be thinking about them though. I shift my focus to the task at hand. The ball has already started and all of us gather near the kitchens. Some of the servants hand us all plastic silver trays with 4 glasses of what I assume is sparkly wine, and we go into the room where the ball is being hosted. This bathroom is stunning. There are 3 huge chandeliers on the ceiling. The
Adonis PovI'm in the bathroom talking to some of the kings when I see Briana linking arms with Ares and they leave together. That girl never gives up, and Area just entertains it. I looked around for Ash, but he was nowhere to be found. Where are you? I link AshListening to a beautiful girl about her issues, talk later, he replies and cuts the link. Typical Ash, always trying to help. I feel Kyle linking me and find him against the door with Clair, waiting for me. I followed him and we went to our study. Clair stands outside the door, but I know she can hear us. "So, what do you have," I asked him. He handed me some papers. "Alpha King Damon of North Carolina. 40 years old. Married Queen Liza but she isn't his mate. He reigns in the Blood Moon territory. The girl, her name is Isabella Blue, 23. She was taken in by the king and he raised her. She was found near their palace as a baby. The official report is that someone didn't want her, and they left her there, but after doing some
Arabella Pov The ball was ending, and I was tired. Cassie and Sam have been tailing me all night trying to get me to tell them how I got the wound on my face, but I didn't tell them. I just felt like I was slowly dying. The ball was concluding, and people were leaving the ballroom. King Damon approached me. I've been keeping my face down, half because I didn't want to look at him, after what he did, and half because I didn't want him to see the mark on my face, but fucking fate had other plans. He gripped my arm with one hand and my face in his with the other. "Who did this to your fucking face" He growls lowly. I tried to think of a lie. "I fell and hit my face on something," I tell him, but he grips me harder. "Do you think I'm fucking stupid, Omega, let's go" he says and starts to drag me out of the room. I feel royal in my head starting to bounce aggressively. Turn around, she commands, and I lock eyes with the triplet Adonis. I'm hit with a rush of feeling deep in my heart o
Arabella Pov I woke up with an intense pain in my chest. What is this? I asked Royal. Mate. Mate is cheating on us. Ares the son of a bitch.I saw two of my mates already in the room. I can tell they are my mates due to their smell. They both smell like fresh honey and baked bread. One of them is beside me, but I can't concentrate because of the pain. He pulls me into his arms, while another rubs my hand. My mate doesn't love me. He is cheating on me. It's all I can think about and Royal howls sadly in my head. Suddenly, I felt a pop in my knees.I'm sorry, but I need to come out. If I don't, I can't help with the pain of needles we are feeling. Focus on the mates in front of us, they will help with the pain of shifting, Royal says. I do as she asks and focus on smelling my mates, who are trying to help me through the shift. After what seems forever, I end up being pushed to the back as Royal takes over. The cheating pain of Ares has dulled down thanks to my focus on the shift. Roy
The Unwanted MateArabella PovI hear someone talking. It sounds like people are arguing. Men arguing. No... Mates. I dont like that. Why are my mates arguing? I have a battle with my eyes that don't wanna open until I win it. It's so bright at first, but everything is now coming into focus. It looks like I'm in a hospital room. Well, that's nice. I looked around the room and saw Sam asleep on a couch. Ares and Adonis are arguing back and forth with each other. Ash is just watching them. "Mates" I slurred, trying to get them to stop arguing. Adonis and Ash are at my side instantly, smothering my face in kisses. Ares is leaning against the wall looking at me with an unreadable expression. Do I see.... relief? "Bella, I'm so sorry," Adonis says, still planting kisses on me. "It's okay guys, I know it wasn't on purpose, and I can feel that I'm almost healed," I tell them. I sat up on the bed. Ares gave me a full body look over before turning around and walking out of the room."Ares"
