“That is a question for the moon goddess and not me,” Selene remarked.“I wouldn’t get answers to any of my questions?” Arianna inquired.“Brian will explain all you need to know to you,” Selene said.“I do not ever want to see that betrayal”“He could hurt me,” Arianna said.“He’ll explain everything to you when he comes,” Selene remarked.“He’s coming here?”“You came to save me as he approached me remember, you knew he wanted to harm me”“And now you allow him to come here?”“How did he find this place?” Arianna asked.“Brian isn’t what you think of him right now, hear from him, and then you can judge him”“He won’t hurt you, trust me” Selene mentioned.“When is he coming?”“You’ll be by my side throughout his stay right?” Arianna inquired.“If that would make you feel safe”“He would be here in no time” Selene responded.Arianna and Selene remained in the living room, awaiting Brian’s arrival, after a couple of hours he arrived.“Ari,” he said smiling as he stood close to her.“Do
“She mentioned something about her being a witch, I’m not so sure she knew what she was saying,” Brian said.“Yes, she is,” Arianna said.“Alice is truly a witch?!”“All this while?” “She has been pretending!” Brian yelled.“Yeah, she would witches are frowned upon in your pack after all” Selene cuts in.“But I’ve been at her place for months training, I never for once saw you here” Arianna protested.“Our meeting was agreed to be kept a secret, he was afraid Alice might have eyes on him”“He comes here disguising and you were always training those times, you wouldn’t even notice him,” Selene remarked.“And you didn’t mention anything to me?” Arianna protested.“Yes, since you both weren’t working against each other”“If I had told you wouldn’t be able to conquer Alice, you might have developed cold feet and not want to challenge her in a fight even when the fight was necessary” Selene mentioned.“The potion took roughly two months to be ready, hence the reason I insisted your traini
Walking down the hallway, dressed in a long black dress, Arianna, the dead Alpha's daughter, had a small and lifeless smile on her face. It was her 18th birthday but as she took the next step, she halted."Hmmm..." She heard someone moan and she froze. A few feets away from her was her lover's room.Slowly, she took a step forward, and the moans from that room filtered into her ears.Arianna could feel her heart shake, in fear. Her lips quivered as she took another step."Lucas! Harder!" She heard someone scream. The voice was incredibly familiar and Arianna's eyes widened in disbelief."No! It's not true!" She said to herself, not choosing to believe what was before her. Clutching her chest in fear, she moved closer and opened the door.The squelchy sounds in the bedroom wafted into her ears. Her eyes widened in shock and her heart twisted in pain. The scene before her was damning.Her lover was thrusting into her best friend, Alice, with so much speed."Lucas..." She called out, as
"Ahhhh!!" Arianna's screamed as she felt like her body was being squeezed for life. Her eyes looked lifeless and in the next second, she was carried up and slammed against the wall.Her bones cracked as she fell to the ground. Her gown was torn and she was exposed."did not know you could do that!" Lucas came from behind and applauded Alice."Watch this!" Alice said, brimming with joy. She also wanted to please Lucas, with her powers.Yes! She had the powers of a witch and she could control magic!Swiftly, she put out her hand and tightened it into a fist. Arianna who was on the other side, felt like she was being strangled."Please.." Arianna let out as she felt really suffocated. At this point, she pleaded for death."Kill me." She managed to say. She was ready to join her parents in the afterlife. There was nothing she was living for! Everything had been taken away from her.They should just take her life and end the torture."You want to die?" Alice asked as she raised her hand sl
"Brain..." Arianna called out, in a weak tone. Her eyes looked straight at him and she saw the sincere look in his eyes. Her stomach churned painfully and she could feel her skin touching her bones.She had become really thin like a skeleton. The poisonous liquid she was fed had started to react.In the next second, she coughed out blood, spraying it on Brian's uniform."I'm sorry! I'm sorry for not protecting you!" He said, with remorse in his voice.However, she smiled scarily at his words and she looked back on her life, in regret.Her parents trusted the Beta's family and she did too."I never thought they would do that to you! I should have known!" Brian said, feeling low of himself. He was always traveling around as he had to go to war or settle the Pack's border issues.He chastised himself for not looking after the person he claimed to love.On the other hand, Arianna could not blame him for anything. They weren't so close and he could not have known that the Beta's family was
Arianna staggered in disbelief seeing her father's lifeless body.She did not know what to do and her brain had turned into mush.In the next second, she heard a loud scream and her head snapped to the side."Mother!" She yelled and immediately she ran down the hallway, with a frantic look.Soon, she was before her mother's bedroom.Pushing the door open, the sight before her was jarring.Her mother was in the pool of her own blood, laying lifeless.However, she was not dead!Zora hovered over her and was about to stab her mother in the heart!"Stop right there!" Arianna yelled, with red eyes.On the other hand, Zora froze and then looked at Arianna. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes."What are you doing here? You are supposed to be asleep! Drugged!" She said, with an angry look in her eyes.At this point, Arianna realized she had been drugged in her past life as well as this life.It was Lucas' doing.Taking the image of her dead father out of her head, she smirked and then said
" What do you mean by the same reason I'm here?" Lucas asked, trying to pretend that he didn't just try to kill her." I am alive and well. Aren't you supposed to be happy?" She asked." I am, I am very happy. You just look different." He lied smoothly. He was not happy within." Great, then it's nice to see you again Lucas." Arianna replied without missing a bit. Her face was impassive betraying what she actually felt.Lucas walked back slowly, he didn't understand the person before him. She was cold." Okay, I'll be in my room. You seem to be in a foul mood." He replied.She felt his eyes on her as he walked away. Good, Arianna was glad at the shock on his face. Who did he think he was fooling? She must have been too naive to not see the signs that he was just a user, he never loved her in the first place. Well, enough of Lucas and Alice, she had other important things to do. Like take care of her mother.She and Lucas were even now. She also had to start preparing for the announcem
Things didn't go as expected for Lucas the next day. He called his mother's phone continuously last night, still there was no response. Surely, she couldn't have been partying when a grave incident happened in the pack. Did she know what kind of image it gave her? Surprisingly, no one had asked after her yet. It was all a matter of time before people started asking. They were still caught up in the burial preparation and what not.After Arianna announced the death of the Alpha to the whole pack. All activities stopped and everyone mourned the Alpha. One could practically taste grief in the air.Everywhere you turned, people were talking about it. That was why he needed his mother to return now that people's attention was divided." How are you doing?" He asked Arianna when he reached her room. Where he used to enter freely before now became kind of forbidden.He didn't expect the welcoming smile Arianna gave him. " Hey, babe." She continued smiling, and Lucas thought he entered an alt
