Arielle.
I watched Alpha Kael Drayke walk out of the room with a small smile on my face because he doesn’t even know how he trapped himself. I know I shouldn’t be so sure since I am already a virgin and I don’t even know the workings of it. But I’m also a medical student that knows the way everything works internally. Few more years and I’d become a great doctor and that is the dream I never ever want to give up no matter what I have to compromise. If Alpha Kael banished me from this pack, no other Alpha will take me in because they all fear his wrath. He is not a King but they fear him more than they would any other King if there was one. I think they’d even give him the title soon except that his pack is crashing right now. That’s a sign of weakness. I can’t go to the human world to become a medical doctor because I don’t care about their anatomy. I want to know about the werewolves, their weaknesses and their strengths and everything else in between. I slowly sat up after making sure his semen was moving deep inside of me because I can’t afford to miss this opportunity. I could still feel the warm spill of him sliding lower with every step I took and the thin silk between my thighs already useless against the heat and the slow filthy drip. My inner walls were still fluttering in aftershocks clenching around the emptiness he’d left and it made my walk uneven amd my breath shallow. Every move pressed his scent deeper into me, coating me and marking me and it was maddening because I hated it and yet my body wouldn’t stop pulsing for more. I pressed my legs tighter together as if that could keep him inside and keep the mess from running down my thighs but all it did was make me more aware of how deep he’d gotten. I need just few days to confirm if this plot of mine will work. If it doesn’t then I’m going to be in deep shit if he finds out he slept with his son’s rejected mate and thee Bastard. Knowing Kurt was going to come in to check on me anytime soon, I composed and look around the papers all over the room. I should leave them there in case he sent someone to get them but I packed everyone of them and tucked them away inside my clothes. I walked out of the room before Kurt could come in then went down the hallway to my tiny changing room. I kept taking deep breathe because so many things had happened in few hours and I need to wrap my head around them all before I have a panic attack. First I found my mate then he rejected me at the same time. That one is a shock on its own. Then I got evicted from my tiny home but home nonetheless. After that, I came here with the need for distraction but ended up getting completely fucked and wrecked by the Alpha that despise me. I didn’t know it was Alpha Kael at first until he started talking in that gruff voice I have nightmares about. Goddess knows how I managed to stay in control after finding out. I wanted to run out the door and vanish myself from the pack but I held still. If there is one thing holding me then it’s my need to become a doctor. I want to prove to all those nepo babies at college that despite me being the Bastard and freak, I could do it better than them. I am at the top of my class by far and that’s because some professors hated me. A quick knock came from the door before it was pushed open by Kurt whose eyes was taking me in as if he expected to see me in pieces of beaten. Yeah me too. But turns out the Alpha was too into his emotions of failing his pack that he didn’t scent me. I would have been dead to be honest if he had known. “You’re alive and smelling like the Alpha.” Kurt sighed in relief then lock the door behind him. Kurt is a good boy and I wished he was my mate. We would have flown from here and find somewhere to squat in another pack without being banished here. But Moon Goddess wanted to show me just how much she also hates me. “The business is failing in the pack and I don’t know. He didn’t scent me.” I shrugged trying to act nonchalant. “Now what is the plan? By morning he’d start thinking about banishing you for being his son’s mate.” Kurt went straight to the point. I look down feeling the papers inside my skimpy clothes hoping he won’t see it. I don’t know if I should tell him about my plans. Only Kurt knows I work here and he’s kept that secret away from everyone. Can I trust him with this? I need an ally when all of these collapse. “He fucked me.” I told him because even though he could scent him on me, he thinks I just gave a lap dance or blow job. Hell I also didn’t think I was going to give away my virginity but a voice was whispering in my ear that this might be my only way out. Even when I thought of revenge I thought it was a neighboring alpha I could hook with pregnancy. Not THE ALPHA KAEL! This whole thing might backfire but I don’t want to let this opportunity slip away just like that. This is literally my only chance at staying here and finishing my college. If the pregnancy goes through? I’ll keep it and tell Alpha he has a baby with me. He might kill me or make me remove it but I want to try first. If this fails, I’d move on (if I am left alive that is) thinking I tried my best to make myself proud and the parents I never met. That I tired to thrive in the pack that hated the mere sound of my name. “He did WHAT?” He all but screamed at me but I was looking down and didn’t see his horrified expression. “I’m also shocked okay? I didn’t know it was going to happen I swear. And he…..” I trail off not knowing how to continue. “And he what Arielle? This is serious!” He drag a chair and sat down on it. “And he came inside me. I’m thinking of using that against him and trap him. I know it’s stupid but that’s the only thing that can help me not get banished. I want to finish college.” I rambled on without stopping to even breathe. Kurt was quiet for a long time I raised my head to see him watching me with disbelief like he couldn’t believe the innocent nerd Arielle was thinking about trapping a wicked ruthless alpha like this. Yeah I also can’t believe it but here we are. Survival over everything else. “Wow.” He finally said after a while then blinked as he chuckle in disbelief. Oh well. “I had no idea you had it in you but I’m impressed.” He laughed again but I don’t even know what’s funny here. “It’s not funny Kurt.” I grumble. “Yeah you might get killed in the most ruthless ways or he will collect the baby from you and still banish you. You need more plans than this. You’re a smarty nerd think about something else before you go through wit this.” He said after a short thinking time. He is right. That won’t be enough to stop him from banishing me but I have to try and think later. This all depends on his reaction that I will see in a week when the pregnancy is confirmed.Arielle. The café smelled like roasted beans and sugar with that kind of sweetness that usually made me feel warm and safe and normal. But nothing felt normal anymore. Every head has turned to our table tlo. I felt it before I even met their eyes all of the resentment. That sharp and cold kind that hides behind tight smiles and fake greetings. I adjusted my scarf forcing myself to look ahead and pretend I didn’t feel the stares cutting into my skin. Diane was already sitting at a corner booth waving at me like she didn’t notice the tension. Bless her for that.“But seriously you’re glowing maybe that’s why they can’t take their eyes off you.”I laughed weakly and sat down. “Pregnancy glow, maybe.”I said trying to joke though my voice sounded hollow. The truth was I didn’t even know what glow she saw. I felt exhausted and constantly tired and Kael’s absence was starting to gnaw at me. I shouldn’t care this much but I did. He’d promised something that night. I didn’t even know what
Arielle. I almost didn’t notice it at first. The phone was sitting there on my table like it belonged there all sleek and black with its surface catching the afternoon sunlight that streamed through the curtains. It looked out of place almost too perfect for my cluttered desk full of notebooks and pens and half written assignments. I frowned approaching it slowly, my fingers brushing over the cool glass. It wasn’t mine. Kael never allowed me to have one. I wasn’t even sure if this was meant for me.But then the screen lit up with a faint glow and there one single contact saved. No name, no emoji nothing. Just Alpha Kael. My stomach twisted. It had to be him. It was so typical of him, to give me something and still keep control like he did my number. Here there was Only his number. No one else and no fucking choice. A reminder that even when he wasn’t here his shadow stretched across everything I touched.But who kept it here? I almost laughed, a small bitter sound that didn’t make
Arielle. I didn’t even know when he left. No warning sns no goodbye with no message through anyone. Just gone. The morning after that night, I woke up expecting to hear him somewhere in the house maybe in his office maybe brooding like he always did but the mansion was too quiet. I waited through breakfast and waited through lunch even stayed awake longer than usual thinking maybe he’d show up late but he didn’t. The next night I didn’t even bother to eat. It was strange how something that once felt like a prison suddenly felt too empty without him in it.The silence became its own kind of noise. Every corner of that house had a sound attached to him. The heavy footfalls on the stairs. The faint clink of glass when he poured himself a drink. Even the way he closed doors carried something commanding. Now there was nothing. Just air and walls that felt colder than usual. The guards didn’t speak much either. They looked at me like they didn’t know whether to bow or just look away lik
Arielle. The hospital scent still clung faintly to my clothes even though I’d been discharged days ago. I could still hear the doctor’s calm voice in my head nd the same one that always asked the same questions. “How are you sleeping, are you eating enough, are you still feeling dizzy!”I was never the kind of girl who confided easily but that day, something had cracked in me. I had gone there to ask about vitamins and ended up blurting out something that had been burning inside me for weeks.I remembered sitting stiffly in that cold office my fingers twisted together the air smelling faintly of disinfectant and lavender. The doctor who was now quiet woman with kind eyes had looked up from her chart and asked gently. “Is there anything else you’d like to tell me Arielle?”I don’t know if she’s nicer than the man but she’s his assistant all the while in the alphas mansion clinic. I hesitated swallowing hard. My tongue felt dry.“I’ve been…” I started but the words stuck. My cheeks w
Arielle. I spent the morning in a half-daze my books open in front of me but my mind somewhere else entirely. Every time I tried to focus on notes or diagrams, my thoughts drifted back to the same thing. That dream. That punishment!!! The way Kael had looked at me and how my body had responded despite my mind screaming at me not to. I shook my head, trying to push it away but it clung to me like a shadow. I could feel heat rising to my cheeks as I scribbled down my lecture notes pretending to be absorbed. I wasn’t fooling anyone, least of all Diane who was sitting across from me in the library pretending to read while clearly watching me like a hawk.“You’ve been distracted all morning.” she said finally her tone light but with a sharp edge that told me she wasn’t letting me off easy. I blinked startled then tried to focus on my notebook again.“I’m fine.” I mumbled hoping my voice sounded casual.Diane snorted softly leaning forward with her elbows on the table. “Yeah, you’re fin
Arielle. The morning light was too bright almost cruel. I had barely slept after that dream tossing in damp sheets wifj my skin still hot like it carried the ghost of Kael’s hand. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw him again with that expressionless mask turning sharp with command, that voice cutting through me that laugh when he realized what my body was doing against his thigh. My thighs clenched under the blanket just remembering and I cursed at myself under my breath.It was only a dream. Nothing real. Nothing he would ever know about. But the shame of it clung to me like smoke wrapping around my throat until I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.By the time I dressed and made my way to the dining hall, I already knew I looked a mess. My hair was neat enough my clothes the same as always but there was no hiding the faint flush on my cheeks or the way my steps faltered every time I thought of his hand striking me. Worse I could smell him before I saw him. His scent hit me
