Just when Ariel was about to open the car door, she realized her hands had brushed against something, Zeres had also made the same attempt and while doing so their hands brushed against each other for a brief moment.There was a sudden surge of electricity within her over the brief contact. She wondered if it was him or static. She retracted her hands back and quickly said."You don't have to open the car door for me, I'm not incapable of doing so myself."Zeres didn't comment, he just blatantly ignored her and she knew it was intentional. "Rude." She muttered underneath her breath and rolled her eyes. For some unknown reason he was undeniably quiet than usual, he couldn't compliment her. Hailey had putting enough efforts in dressing her up for the goddamned club or whatever. Why was she even expecting a compliment from him? She definitely was dumb.The driver rev the car engine ready to start, when Zeres stepped into the car beside her."Wait! Wait! What are you doing?" She shrieked.
Zeres had known. He'd known she would be trouble the minute he'd set his eyes on her and when Alpha Damon had asked for a guard to keep an eye on his daughter and he had opted to do it himself, he knew he was f”cked. Well he wasn't exactly asked, but told, because Alpha Damon dealt in orders, not requests. But Zeres could have easily given the assignment to one of the lesser guards but he had wanted to.Him guarding the daughter of his enemy and the mate who rejected him, when all he wanted was to do was forget she ever existed? Worst idea in the history of bad ideas but he didn't have time for regrets. Then, he’d looked at her beside Alpha Xander and he saw something in her eyes that tugged at him unfortunately. Maybe it was the hint of loneliness or the vulnerability she tried to hide.Whatever it was, it was enough for him to say yes, albeit having vengeance in his mind— what better way to get revenge than punishing her with his proximity. Crazy, how she'd thought rejecting him wa
“N-nothing.” The asshole said finally catching up with the mess he had landed.That took a while, Zeres had to admit but what was he expecting from a twerp— no— brained asshole anyways. The boys face had reddened with panic just from the little hold of Zeres. Zeres was sure the boy would have peed his pants if he carried out his wolf’s threat..“I don’t think it was nothing.” Zeres uttered tightening his hold on him, and the boy whimpered in pain. “You used a very derogatory word on my lady here, don't you think you need to apologize?.” Another tightening, another whimper. “Or would you prefer we do it my style, hmm?” Zeres didn’t need to spell out what his style was. “I’m sorry,” The boy mumbled begrudgingly to Ariel, who passed a stony look back to him She didn’t respond.“I didn’t hear you, say it like you mean it.” Zeres uttered adding a smile that made him look more unhinged. The smile contained more threat than humour. The boy’s eyes flashed with unmistakable hate, but he wasn’t

She stepped down and walked to the mansion with her head held high. It has been five good years since she had left the blue moon pack to further her education and learn different cultures. Some omegas at the corridor offered her a bow which she nodded to.She reached the living room and was received by a modest welcome from her family.Her parents, Alpha Damon and Luna Irene were situated at the living room waiting for their daughter.

Chapter twoAriel marveled at how handsome he was under the moonlight. He had a magnificent physiqueThey was no need to speak as their gazes on each other with the evident broad smile on their faces said it all.Zeres observed his mate with admiration. He was happy at the same time he wanted to badly curse the moon goddess for having to pair him with the Alpha's daughter, his enemy. It wasn't now he was almost.. almost close to fulfilling his goals. At the thought of letting her go, his wolf whimpered. He wanted to ruffle his hair in frustration.Ariel felt an inexplainable urge to kiss his delicate full lips. She controlled the urge, even though he was her mate she wouldn't want to look cheap in front of him."You are the Alpha's daughter, sorry to bump into you." Zeres apologized with a lowered head, it was better to act indifferent to the brewing mate pull. This was the right time to cut all ties even before there relationship intensifies.Ariel was a bit dumbfounded at the sudden
Chapter threeAriel sat in the dining room after finishing her breakfast. Her father had ordered her to remain behind that he wanted to speak to her, numerous thoughts flash through her mind which she shook off as it felt near to impossible.'Maybe he found out about her rejecting her mate or ...'Her mind was running different thoughts and different assumptions, her father never asks to see someone like this, unless it was something close to business."Ariel, have you found your mate??" Her father asked when they were the only ones left behind. Ariel could feel her hands turns sweaty. Why was her father questioning her if she had found her mate all of a sudden."N- No Alpha, I haven't" she stuttered, her father gave her a doubting look before nodding his head."Good Good".She wondered if that was the question that needed to be spoken in private.She had an inkling idea of why her father was asking. She knew all this were bound to happen but she never knew it will occur this fast.Her
Chapter fourAriel and zeres stood in silence, Hailey had gone to attend to the wounded warriors leaving them both alone. Ariel had a lot she wanted to say to the man standing before her and she knew this was the right time. She inhaled a sharp breath and rubbed her hands together before turning to look at zeres"Zeres, about the other day...""You don't need to explain anything to me"Zeres cut her short, his tone was stern and it sent shivers down Ariel's spine. Was it wrong to say that through all that guilt and confusion she was also excited? No, no… the excitement was coming from her wolf.Ariel gave a nod of understanding, she knew he was a bit pained by the way she rejected him and he had all the reasons to act cold towards her. "But can I speak with you,, please"Without a word, zeres gestured toward the path on the right and Ariel followed after him. She understood they needed to speak in private to avoid unnecessary words getting out.A minute later, Ariel stood in front of a
Chapter fiveAriel was unlike any other daughter of an Alpha of her age. The simplest things always gave her a sense of satisfaction but she wasn't stupid not to know how the society works and the do's and don't's of the world she lived in.Instead of staying at home all day. Ariel had decided to take a walk around the building to clear her head. The person whom her father had told her she was going to meet was yet to arrive, she wasn't even curious to meet the unknown guest at all.While walking, she had tried to search for zeres around, but she couldn't find him. An hour passed and as mentioned, the unknown guest had arrived at the mansion."Ariel Fenlon, it is good to meet you," the man whom visited moved his hand forward and Ariel took it to shake the man's hand. She scratched her head trying to remember the name of the man."Alpha Xander," Ariel greeted the man with a polite smile. Alpha Xander was a tall and bulky man who had jet black hair.The man was undoubtedly a handsome Wa
