Chapter 46 Ariel POV "Are you ok?" His voice pulls me back to reality, and that is when it dawn on me that I have been hallucinating his other dark side. But what if that really happens? I'm going to die instantly, no doubt. "Hmm," I slowly nod my head as I turn my face away, trying to calm my heart that is already on a marathon from the moment I saw that imaginative look on his face. It was really scary. "Do you like it here? Come here... Cone has a look," He suddenly holds my hand gently and pulls me to the rail, and we stare down at the ocean together. I glance at him, and he has all his attention there, he seems to be lost in thoughts. What is he thinking about? I ask myself as I finally turn my gaze away from him. "What happened to your kids' mother?" I wanted to ask him since I've been really curious about it and to think that nobody has ever talked about it since I've been here, it's kind of not fine, but on second thought, I feel it's not the right time to
Chapter 47 Ariel POV The last two weeks of being Alpha Kai's girlfriend have been awkward, but I loved it, anyway. I don't know if I have been in a relationship before this time, but he is the best man any woman would dream of being with. After a long day at work today, I return home and put the kids to sleep. Alpha Kai wasn't in the office all day, since he told me yesterday that he would be away for the day. I've been having this strange feeling since morning, and I don't know why I feel so uneasy. It feels like there's a bomb within me that is waiting to explode, and I don't know what this feeling is. "What's wrong with you?" I ask myself as I gulp down the sudden lump that forms in my throat. I have read a lot of books, and I can say that everything I'm feeling right now should be because I'm horny, or what do they call it? I've never done this before, or I don't know if I've done it before now, but I just know that I'm suddenly feeling like doing it. The sound of my phone tha
Chapter 48 Ariel POV I feel my heart beating rapidly against my chest as an awkward silence creeps in the room. I can't hide the truth from him, knowing how he would feel later, and I can't also lie to him because I don't want him to see me as a liar. I am now torn between telling the truth to getting myself in trouble, and keeping the secret to save myself and the relationship. How would he feel when he finds out that I don't even have a root? How would he react when he realized that I don't even know who I am? "Uhm..." I pause and bite my bottom lip. "Why don't we know know about you first? I will tell you about myself after then," I utter, and he glances at me. "What happened to your kid's mother?" I further ask to be precise about my question, and a dead silence creeps in. For seconds, he only stares up at the ceiling, and I can tell that whatever happened, he doesn't want to talk about it. "You should get some sleep. I will be out for some time," And with
Chapter 49 Max POV It's evening already, and my body hurts badly. I have been trying to resist myself since yesterday, and decided to stay indoor. It's werewolves' heat period, and I feel really uneasy. I have tried to avoid anything that would make me do shit yesterday, but nothing seem to be working. The sound of the knock on my door pulls my attention, and although I haven't open the door yet, I can feel her scent all over the room already. It's not a good idea that she's here, but I can't also keep her outside and not let her in. Taking a deep breath, I stand up from the bed and advance toward the door, and as I pull the door open, her heartwarming smile welcomes me. "Good evening," She smiles excitedly as she covers her face with her palms, and I sigh briefly. Isn't she just too cute? "Good evening. Why are you here?" I ask her after I glance around the hallway, and she chuckles softly. "Uhm... It's my birthday today, but I didn't have the chance to co
Chapter 50 Alpha Felix "How long are you planning to stay like this, Felix? I have been doing my best to see that you change your mind, but you remain adamant. Are you planning to stay single for the rest of your life?" Again, Hazel rants as usual as she paces in my office, and I sigh frustratingly. I have many things going on in my mind right now, and the thought of them kissing yesterday is driving me crazy, but here my sister is, adding salt to the injury like I haven't been through enough already. "Can you just let me be, Hazel? You are frustrating me," I reply to her, and she scoffs as she finally stops to look at me. "Are you kidding me, Felix? I have tried to do something about this, I told you to move on already, Ariel is dead, and she's not coming back. Why are you insisting?" "Ariel is not dead, so just leave me alone. You can't force me to be with someone I don't feel anything for. Can't you understand?" I slam my hands on the desk, pissed this time. She
Chapter 51 Princess Sharon "Going on a blind date, again? Will this ever stop?" Rose, my best friend narrows her eyes when I told her about the blind date my mom just arranged for me with the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack. "I don't have a choice here, Rose. I can't even say that I don't want to go. My mom won't take it lightly with me," I shrug, and she sighs briefly. Being the only female child of my parents amongst two men, I am made to follow the orders of my mom because she believes that I can't make decisions for myself. She is worried about how a twenty-three years old werewolf that has an active wolf, has yet to find a mate. It's not my fault that I am like this, right? 'When are you going to find your mate, Sharon? Your mates are already settled with their mates and making pups' I am tired of hearing those phrases each day I wake up in the villa, and it's messing with my mental health. I can't count how many dates I've been to these recent years of my life, but sad
Chapter 52 Ariel POV My lungs clutch together, my chest and ribs contract, and I feel my breath coming out slowly. I try to balance my breath, but the more I try to, the more it seems difficult to do. My pulse keeps dropping, I can feel my soul slowly leaving me, as I drown in the water. I raise my hand, hoping I would be saved, but I was drowning in the water, and there was no one to come to my aid. "Help me... Help me, please... I don't want to die," I wanted to scream for help, but I could only scream silently. I don't want to leave my parents. I am the only one they have. "Ariel... Ariel... Please don't do this. Help my daughter. Please don't kill my daughter, I beg of you..." Hearing my dad's voice pleading, tears stream down my cheeks, but it only fades away in the water. Soon, the slashing of swords and screams of my parents shoot through my ears, and that is all I remembered. I feel something drawing me down deeper into the water. "Ariel... Ariel... Ar
Chapter 53 Sharon POV"Is he kidding me?" I scoff for the tenth time as I toss on the bed, before I sit up on it, running my fingers through my hair afterward. Isn't it enough that he humiliated me? Why the fuck am I still thinking of him? This is crazy, honestly. Driving home earlier today, I dashed into my room and stripped out of my clothes before I went to have my bath, and I just got back into the room now. I have been waiting to tell Rose how my date went miserably. The door finally opened, and Rose walked inside the room, but she stopped when she spots me sitting on the bed. "Hey, you're back? When did you get back?" She asks as she finally walks over to sit beside me on the bed, but I only sigh and lay on my back, staring up at the ceiling. "Yeah, I got back minutes ago. Where did you go?" I ask her. "I went to take a walk in the villa. You don't look ok... Did your date go well?" She asks, and I sigh deeply as I sit up on the bed. "No, it didn't. T
