Arianna's POVMy eyes slowly fluttered open, waking up to the consciousness of the pain around my body. I slowly attempted to sit upright, but I hissed in pain, lying back on my bed as the pain was too much to endure. “Relax, relax. I just nursed the wound. You just need some rest to get better,” the nurse said, slowly adjusting the pillow behind my head. “I can't thank you enough…” “Catherine.” she introduced herself “Catherine. I can't thank you enough, Catherine,” I appreciated. “I'm Arianna, by the way,” I added, forcing a smile on my face through the burning pain. She smiled, touching my forehead softly. “Don't be so hard on yourself.” A knock came on the door, and Catherine responded, permitting the person to come in. The door was pushed open, and a man walked in, keeping a stoic expression on his face. His scent was quite familiar, but he wasn't a werewolf. I could tell from his scent that he was a normal human, which is rare to see around here. “Arianna, this is Ral
Arianna's POV“What do you mean I'm pregnant?” I snapped, forcing myself to my feet immediately as I moved away from her a bit. She took a deep breath as the smile that once covered her face disappeared immediately. “I'm so sorry. I never knew it would come as bad news,” she said, slowly dropping the bowl of water she had in her hand. “I don't understand,” my eyebrows furrowed deeply. That was when it suddenly dawned on me that I was about 1 week late. I wasn't observant about this due to the events happening in my life lately. “You're pregnant, ma'am. I have to come clean,” she replied firmly. “How did I get here in the first place?” The thought struck me suddenly. “Oh! About that. A stranger mentioned that he found you lying unconscious on the road, so he brought you here,” she replied. “A stranger?” My tights swerved deeper, trying to wrap my head around everything. “He also said that this is the bag the thieves you were after stole from you,” she gestured towards the bag
Arianna's POVMy eyes darted around, searching from corner to corner as I hoped to find Celine. “Celine!!” I yelled through the thick bushes. But all I got were just echoes of my own voice. The morning slowly turned into noon, and yet there wasn't a sign of her. I was worried, deeply pained that I made her walk into her own room, and she was probably kidnapped or taken away by some rogue wolf. But as I lifted my bag to resume my journey, I saw a note right under my bag. “I know you must be feeling bad after I have left. But you don't need to be afraid. I felt walking the same path with you was part of my destiny, but I guess I have my own path to walk,” the letter read. Tears streamed down my eyes as I held the letter close to my heart, feeling the emptiness left by her absence. Soon, I cleaned up my tears and braced myself to continue on with my journey. I was well aware that I started this journey all alone, and I was never forced into continuing my journey. Just as the ful
Damien's POV It was too hard for me to move past this new development. A life without Arianna was totally useless. I shouldn't have listened to my mother while she was persuading me so much. “My Lord, you haven't had anything good to eat or drink in days,” Victor interrupted my peace. Victor was my beta, and he was loyal as well. He was in support of me rejecting Arianna. “Why are you here? I asked you to leave me alone. I need some time alone!!” I yelled, my voice roaring and thundering with so much fury. “I'm sorry,” he apologised, quickly heading out of my chamber immediately. Just as he went through the exit, my mother quickly turned it to an entrance, walking in with a firm look on her face. “What do you think you're doing?” She asked, glaring at the empty wine bottle in my hand and my sober face. It was hard for me to get drunk, and no matter how hard I tried, I just ended up feeling fed up with the wine without getting drunk. “What does it look like,
Arianna's POV I quickly wrapped her in my arms, grabbing her shivering body tightly. Celine has always been faced with the trauma of a dream she has refused to tell us anything about. Over time, I learnt to respect her privacy and her reason not to tell anyone about the trauma she's been passing through for years. “Don't you feel it's about time you told me about this dream?” I urged, rubbing her back gently as she slowly grew calm. “We have a long day tomorrow. Go to sleep,” she quickly dismissed, backing me as she lay on her side. Unfortunately, there was no way to get her to speak to me. I just had to sleep and prepare for the journey ahead of us. As the sun rose upon our faces, we both packed up and prepared to head out for the continuation of the journey we began. “Arianna, you've been trying to practice shifting into your wolf form. How's that coming on?” Celine asked curiously. “Actually, I haven't tried for a while now. I was lost in my love journey with Damien
Arianna's POV I slowly turned towards her, but I was stunned by what I saw. “Why do you have a bag with you, and why do you look like you're embarking on a journey?” I asked confusingly. “How the hell will I let you walk this path alone? I told you I was going to be with you every step of the way,” she said, slowly walking towards me with a glowing smile on her face. “Where do you think I'm going to?” I asked, arms arched above my waist as I glared at her. “Anywhere you're going. Not like you have an idea where you're going to as well,” she replied. We both burst into laughter, hanging our arms over our shoulders as we both decided to leave together. But just as we were about to leave, grandma rushed out through the door, causing us to turn immediately. “Are you both thinking of leaving me without telling me anything,” she sobbed as tears trailed down her eyes. Seeing her break down emotionally, I quickly rushed to her as I grabbed her, embracing her tightly.
