Ariadne POV"You shouldn't hug me like that often." I got up and went to the toilet but needed a minute before I recollected myself and started cleaning up. I got to clench the faucet and the water came rushing through.I hung my head on the wall. "This will all have to end either way," I muttered, My life has gotten much harder, I don't think it could get much worse but then it ripped my heart out too. I thought my luck was changing when I got a chance into Oak Borough. Seeing that I could easily get rid of my target and enjoy some certain freedom at the best. Every piece of me screaming at him, I truly realized how strong a mate bond could be. And the connection you get to make with people around you. My heart ached when Alpha Creed made mention of Hannah. Nothing thrilled me more when she said I'm her sister. I am wasted and don't deserve to be loved.On the contrary, came Decker's word, if I fail to kill Alpha Henry Bryson my life and that of those I loved and cared about would be
Ariadne POV28Meredith wouldn't have been here, but now I was getting to a certain point, the Alpha wants one thing which is me dead."Ariadne I met them some days back at the front of the hotel," Hannah explained and I simply nodded my head.I motioned for her and she followed me from the premise,"You forgot I have been where you are, me failing my mission and the Alpha sending you to do the cleaning up,""I haven't, you should give him a message that I have not failed and that I don't need a backup.""I'm sorry I didn't realize that, hope I didn't disturb you." She let out a chuckle."So what's the essence of coming over?" I asked settling down at a small restaurant with them. Hannah glanced at us and I threw her a warm smile."It's funny how you would come to a place like this in the whole of Oak Borough." She scanned around. I have my arms folded across the table glaring at her."We're here to hasten the procedure and meet with our accomplices." "Accomplice? Who are they?""The
Ariadne POV"We're here," Hannah said, opening the door and we dropped off. "I know, since you've met those blond girls, you haven't been yourself. What is going on?" Hannah asked as we got inside.I feigned a benign smile and she sighed, "Ever secretive Ariadne…" I said and she rolled her eyes with a chuckle."You already know what you're like Aria." She shouted from the bedroom. I found my hand in my pocket and fished out my phone glancing at the screen. "What are you looking at!" She jumped and stood over the chair in the living room."Privacy Hannah!" "Fine, fine." Sorry for intruding you know. "I can't watch you get angry at me like the other time, you know it was the first time you've ever gotten angry and yelled at me."I stood and reached for my purse and then to the door."Where are you going?" She asked."Going to see my mate, make sure to keep to myself on the good sides,'' I said."She always ignores me when I'm talking senses." She muttered sucking on her orange and app
Ariadne POVBy the time I finally decided to settle down and rest, my face became bright red and flushed with emotions and my breathing became short. I decided to rush from there straight to the toilet where I clenched the faucet and the water came guzzling out.Beta Williams was quite skilled, and it was great having everything turned into a duel on a friendly matter. I raised my head to my head as I tried to catch my breath."What is wrong with the Alpha, I mean when he stared up close at me?" I didn't do anything stupid and couldn't have possibly, I whined about my situation which only got to make me more angry and annoyed."That girl Cindy, I could have taught her the lessons of her life.""That would be next time if she doesn't mind her tongue." My wolf replied, and I smiled."Ariadne Hills, you seen pretty red, Christy got you. Didn't she?" One of the female Beta said, making me turn my head to see her walk over to me. I was impressed that she knows my surname. Not plenty does un
Ariadne POV It couldn't have been less provocative than it is already. I woke up yawning and Hannah's judging eyes followed everywhere. I knew today was going to be dreadful, after weeks of ignoring Alpha Creed and seeking sanctuary with the Ember-moon pack. "You've been here for close to a week now, what is going on Ariadne?" "Just you forcing me out of the bed with questions this early, seriously…" "Yeap, get dressed, we're going for a jog, I have been wanting to do that since I came here but I wasn't privileged to." "I'm not going anywhere." "What the heck has gotten into you these days Aria?" She leaned her flank on the wall. "Do you really think I would drag you along this time, you can stay there all day stuck in your business?" She said calmly more can't than her eyes gave her up. I rolled back into the blanket drawing it up to my head. What was she thinking about going all nice today? I let her go alone, I was in catalepsy from yesterday's event, and I could barely slee
Ariadne POV I reached for his torso pointing the knife against his disembowelment. The Alpha was engulfed in me and I have only one thing going through my head. How to strike it through him and ease the process. My eyes bore into his own not breaking contacts. He suddenly grabs my waist and moved me away from the side of the kitchen to the wall and tried to snip at me. "What the—" I gasped and launched myself into the Alpha's arm. I caught the humorous smirk on his face. I also caught the beads of sweat on my forehead. Several attempts to pummel the knife into his stomach weighed on every core of my grasp on the knife. I mirrored what would happen if I struck through him. After everything, he pulled away. I held onto the knife. His gaze drifted to my right hand. With a quick defence. I snapped. "Just curious whether you would love to take a bite into an apple." I tossed one up at his face. I couldn't tell what he was glancing at. "Sure." He sat down on the couch and I gaze up at
Ariadne POV "So where are we going?" I asked when we walked past the trees, back on our track. "Stressless for you and a whole lot of work as you would have to have spent a week staying away from me." He says before walking into the packhouse. It was another route roughly a pavement that connects the inside to the outside "You might need this in the long run." He started motioning for me to enter first. He heard me that I was avoiding him and he wasn't angry as I thought he would be. He was making me wander far and wide. "You have a passage here?" I asked, a little shocked and ignoring his compliment. I had no desire to be his mate. "No desire?" My wolf asked. "Sure, we're from the Abyss and can't get ourselves a mate. If you've forgotten I have to remind you." "Yes, I decided to be more present here over the few weeks, especially since you ignored the pack house and did not pick up your phone." I was ignoring him to be sure I could carry out my bidding but, it gets harder try
Bryson POV She stood by the side bent over perusing through the series of books lined up on the shelf while I bundled in the book. "All set, we should get going before the park members return from their run," I said. She snapped out of her trance, her body trembling to the bid of my husky voice. "Really… if it's for the park, then we should get going." She said pointing to the version beside him when she suddenly glanced at it making me look at her. "No, I am done with them, I'm training with them tomorrow, just that I have got something to do." "Oh is that so, extra activities?" "Yes, will be travelling away from the pack house." " I can only imagine." "That?" I raised my brow, trying to grasp onto what she was thinking. "You said you love it by the sea, maybe it's because you want to go there, you know something probably like that." There was an unending silence between us and I scoffed at her. Her theory was quite catchy but in her voice were cracks, fragments of emotion
