“It was Elle,” Ariel said, looking at Alpha Damien.Immediately he heard the name Elle from Ariel's mouth, he turned furious and his eyes bloodshot red, he looked like a monster who was about to devour his victim.“What did you just say?” He asked her, looking so angry.“I said it was Elle,” Ariel replied to him.She was not expecting what was about to happen, as she suddenly felt a hard slap on her face. She held her face and looked at Alpha Damien, who had just slapped her. Not only that, but she was so shocked, as she wondered what she had done to warrant such action from him.Then, she realised that she had just told him that Elle was the one responsible for her condition, but even at that, how was it her fault that Elle hit her resulting in her unconsciousness?Not only that, but why was he attacking her for merely being a victim when Elle was his girlfriend, and she was just a mere slave? It was obvious that Damien would take the side of Elle, even if she was at fault.Alpha Dami
Ariel left the bathroom, and went to her room to cry, the tears just kept on coming and coming. This time, she couldn't stop her mind from bringing those intrusive thoughts to her, and they just made everything worse, and it hurt her a lot.She missed her mother and her father and her freedom. She wanted to go home, to her happy place. Her wolf also needed to be free, she was tired of being hurt all the time. She was tired of being a punching bag to everyone in the pack. She hated this pack, she hated her pack, she hated Damien, she hated her life.She must have stayed a good hour bawling out her eyes, before she heard the door to her room open.Her breath immediately hitched, and she stopped sobbing because she knew who it was. Damien. She could never make mistakes with that scent, regardless of what happened or where she was.She wondered why he was here, she didn't want him to catch her crying before he punished her further. She willed her tears to stop flowing, as she closed the d
Ariel's heart was beating really fast now. She didn't know what Damien was going to do to her, and how he was going to punish her. She pinched the hem of her skirt and bit her fingernails nervously.Likewise, she couldn't stop staring into his eyes, neither could Damien. It felt like time stopped and Elle, whose presence was now forgotten, cleared her throat impatiently. She wasn't happy with the way Damien and Ariel were staring at each other.She stepped forward and placed her hand around Damien's neck. She did that to claim possession of him. Ariel shifted her gaze away from Damien, and she looked down instantly. Seeing Damien and Elle just like that, made her feel weird.Immediately, Elle placed her hand on his shoulder, Damien looked at her, and he looked back at Ariel. He saw how uncomfortable she looked, and he removed Elle's hand from his shoulder.Elle was about to protest against what he did, but Damien's voice stopped her. “I need you to leave, Elle,” He said and looked at h
She couldn't do anything, she was unable to move her arm nor her body, she felt like her body had suddenly gone numb from the way Damien's lips were pressed against hers.Damien continued pressing his lips against hers, trying to kiss her, but that wasn't happening because of the way Ariel just stood like a statue. After a few seconds, Damien removed his lips from Ariel's, and he slightly moved back, feeling really awkward.Damien cleared his throat uncomfortably. He looked in the opposite direction, not wanting to meet Ariel's eyes.Ariel was scratching her fingers against the wall that was behind her, and she looked down. She decided to look up. When she looked up, she saw the way Damien's Adam's apple slid down his throat in a sexy way. His face was a bit red and Ariel couldn't help but to wonder if his face was red from the little kiss that they had or if it was because of the weather.Her eyes suddenly moved to his slightly moist lips. She was sure that his lips had been wet from
Ariel walked slowly into the pack house. As she walked in, her body trembled in trepidation because she was afraid of whatever awaited her there. She knew she could never hope for nothing to await her because there was always something awaiting her; whether punishment or loads of work. She knew she could not escape them.Ariel was so afraid to the extent that her body started trembling uncontrollably, and she felt beads of sweat on her skin despite the cool atmosphere of the pack house. Gradually, the sweat on her body turned from beads to trickles, and she knew that it was not as a result of the temperature of the environment, which was mildly cool, but as a result of the temperature of her inner body. She was hot internally, her whole body was hot with fear on the inside, and it showed too on the outside, making her sweat as if she were in a sauna.Ariel tried to stop the trembling, but there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn't control it, and it wouldn't go away, no matt
Sounds of crickets chirping resounded through the night.Silence had engulfed the entire court as everyone had either retired for the night or was busy with one thing or the other.The big mahogany grandfather clock in the grand hall was ticking loudly.Time passed very fast, but for Ariel, who was boarded up in her room, it seemed like every second took ages to pass.She sat on one of the few palatable chairs in her room, rocking back and forth.Turmoil and confusion could be seen clearly on her face as she stared blankly at the wall.Her eyes skimmed the cracks on her wall, over and over again, but never truly seeing it.Her mind was in chaos as she tried to answer a question, which made her even more confused.The question in itself was the reason for Damien's weird behaviour towards her.To say she was confused would be a big understatement.All his actions were very conflicting and contradictory.Her mind recounted the encounter she had with him earlier, which, much like other inc
Thud!The sound of the door smacking against the wall violently could be heard.Alex shot up with a start as he stared alertly at the direction of the door, already reaching out to take his weapon.His hand had already reached his weapon when he froze.He stared at the person who had caused the disturbance with shock.He wondered why the hell Alpha Damien would appear by his door early in the morning.Was there some sort of emergency?Even if there was, he had no right to just slam at his door like that.A simple knock would have sufficed, but no!The great Alpha must exercise his rights.He had enough already!Anger boiled through him, and he made to rise and give Damien a tongue lashing, but froze midway.Something seemed to be weighing his hand down.He looked down and was shocked to see a woman's sleeping face staring back at him.Ariel?What was going on?Why was Ariel in his arms?He pondered deeply before it all came rushing back to him.He then remembered.The late night talk a
Ariel was thinking again. It seemed like that was all she did these past days. She had been thinking too much since last week, when Alpha Damien had given every slave the day off except her. He had done it as a punishment because she hadn't slept the night before that day.That day, she had worked her butt off. She had been working, doing hard work for many years now, and she thought she knew what it was, but how wrong she had been. How wrong she had been, to assume what she had been doing these past years was hard work, when she had done something far greater than it on that day when there was no other slave around to assist her.They had all looked happy after the Alpha had announced the day free for them and had left only her in the kitchen without glancing back at her.That day she worked and worked like never. That day, Her whole body ached like she had been thrown down from a tree, and she had been exhausted, almost to the point of giving up, staying in one place and willing the
