RITUAL MATE GAMES: FATED ENEMIES

Aliaria’s Point of ViewI was so happy. Things could not have been better than they are right now. I tuck behind a loose strand of hair that has been disturbing me recently. One day, I’ll just do the giant chop and go bald. I could do it now but dad would never allow it. The only thing I had right now that I knew he definitely wouldn’t approve of was the piercing I had gotten right above my navel. It was cute and I wanted it. Sophie didn’t even have to talk me into it. Typically, she’s the one that makes bad decisions but I just couldn’t resist it. Well, dad would never notice either ways. I missed him though. He has always been there all my life but staying at this camp for almost a year without seeing him was torture. If it was this bad for me, I wondered how bad it would be for dad. He liked to prove he was tough and Macho and dominant as the alpha but really, he was the hugest teddy bear to exist. I look up from the book I was reading on history of werewolves and blah. I loved rea

Aliaria’s Point of ViewI looked at my children. They were my pride and life. I know I’m not supposed to say so because the pack is supposed to come first but I couldn’t help that it is hardwired into my genes to be a protective mother. Its even worse for werewolves than humans. I do not joke with my kids and I never will. They are such a vital part of my life. I look at Alyssa, my only daughter. She looks so much like me and generally, is like me. Right now, she is a preteen and all she cares about is Sephora and boys. Every time she talks about boys, I’m reminded of my first heartbreak, Kaidon Blackwood. It was so long ago but I was pretty hurt them. Dada was scared that I was going into depression. The annoying thing is that, he wasn’t my mate. He was my soulmate but somehow, even the moon Goddess knew that weren’t bound to ne together. Well, that was just a development arc I needed. Without that happening, I would never have found my true mate, Ethan Wilder. If I didn’t find him,

Aliaria’s Point of ViewSomething was wrong. The alarms were blaring nonstop. I flew from my bed and first ran to check in on the kids. They were all sound asleep, I don’t the how, but thank Moon goddess. I grabbed a coat and ran to the car, driving to the office. When I get there, there’s already Rand on top of things. The alarms go off eventually but there is still so much chaos. When Rand sees me, he pulls me to a corner to explain what had happened.“The pack was breached. We had an attack earlier.” He says, pacing around. He had a lot of nervous energy but strangely I was calm. I knew this day would come. I just didn’t think it would come this soon but I knew it would come nevertheless. It’s like we were about to war.“That is expected. We’ll pull through this. Who was it?” I ask, walking with him to the control rooms to check out the video. Werewolves were so proud that they never hid these things. Instead they tended to announce their arrival and attacks just to assert their do

Aliaria’s Point of ViewI made a point to spend the remainder of my days with my children. The name of the whole thing sounded innocent but it was literally the werewolf version of Squid Games. It wasn’t made to kill off people but there are times it got so intense that murder happened. I am going into this to win this is I know that I may have threats to my life. It is an opportunity of a lifetime. Also, it was also the biggest event so it would be filmed. I am not so sure I fully agree with that idea but I really needed to win this. “Mum! I want to get ice cream.” I hear Alyssa my youngest say. We were at the pack and I know that it would be a crime to not have at least a cone at that pack. I gather the children and we go to a truck. It was Papa Benny. He has been here since I was a kid. He offers to give it free o charge but I don’t agree. If he did that every time, he would be out of business. I take the children home. We were going to have a grown up dinner like we all liked to

Aliaria’s Point of View“Ari!” I hear Kai call after me but I don’t even turn back. I was so stupid. What did I expect? It was Kaidon Blackwood. He is the most selfish person I have met in my entire life. Honestly, I don’t blame him one but. I expected too much. What did I think was keeping him busy throughout his stay here? Of course he was with a female. The utter disrespect. We were supposed to be ritual mates but right here in my pack, he was sleeping with another girl, right under my nose. He just made me a laughing stock. That aside though, it hurt a lot. I am really vulnerable as I just lost my mate and I was thinking I could finally iron this out. I wasn’t even hoping for much but it would be nice if we became friends at least. Well, I know now that we would never just be friends. Seeing him like that really hurt. I realizes that I actually still have residual feelings for him. He is my first love. You never truly lose feelings for that person no matter how hard you try. I h
