ARI

“Run! Run and don’t look back!”

“But- but I can’t leave you!”

“You will! You must,” his calloused hands cradle my tear-stained cheeks. “You must be the one who survives so that you will fight for us one day.”

“But daddy …”

“I know my love. You don’t want to but you must. You are the hope of this clan. So you must run and hide, grow up, and be strong. Then go find those who hurt us and bring justice.”

“I don’t understand daddy, I just want to stay with you here. We can fight together. I can’t just leave you.”

He pulls me in for a hug and I know he is crying too. I am sobbing as I clutch his shirt, my little fists not wanting to let go. I don’t want to leave my daddy, I can’t not see him again.”

“I am not going to die,” he starts lying. “I am going to catch up with you when I am done curbing the spreading fire okay my princess?”

“You promise?”

He raises his pinky. “I promise.” Our pinkies intertwine. “Now go with Mommy, protect her for me before I get reunited with you okay?”

“Okay.

    ARIIs this a care package? And who would send me a care package? I know not to take it inside unless it is a package laced with acid or even tiny snakes to invade my room so I leave it outside and continue my way to the cafeteria.By now, all the students have had their supper and I know that if I want anything to eat, I will have to hunt. But going back to that forest is too soon, a little too fresh for me.There is no one in the dining hall as I sneak in, crouching low and going to the back where the door that connects the cafeteria to the kitchen.I hear sounds on the other side and it looks like they are preparing to leave soon by the sounds of it.I lay low, listening and waiting for them to leave until I hear a door shutting somewhere on the other side. I wait a little longer until I am sure none is in there before I push the door open and walk into the kitchen.The lights are off but that doesn’t affect me at all, as I walk over to the large cabinets and opening them all looki

    THIRTY MINUTES AGO“I just can't sit down and let her have you!”“Do you think is a game livie? Do you think I want us to be arguing about this right now?” I am so pissed at her.“You have told me that you are doing something to rectify this situation and yet I don’t see you doing anything!”My head feels like it's going to explode. “So you think killing her is going to solve everything.”“You are here with me right now aren't you?”Sometimes I hate how sure she is of herself. I hate how she thinks she can string me along and I will be her puppet, say yes to everything she does. She thinks she is the one calling the shots.“Do you have any idea of what will happen when she dies? Do you?” I take another step towards her and that cocky look she has on starts to crack. Do you know what you almost cost me tonight?” Her long manicured fingers trail on my chest. “I know that Zack isn't happy with me, but I'm doing all of this for you. I want us to be happy he can bond with my wolf, I want

    ARI“Open the door, Silvers.”That tone is too calm, too composed for me to open the door. Shit! Zade is here and I am pretty sure he is here to kill me. I wrecked his beautiful sports car, but I kind of don’t care.I take my time walking to the door, and as I open the door, I fake yawn and look at him with a bored expression. “What do you want?”He looks at me from head to toe, before pushing in. he is alone but I don’t dare close the door.“You need to leave, it’s the middle of the night and I have classes tomorrow.”“I am not leaving.”“What? Why?” I need him out of my dorm room now.“Did you forget the dal we had?”“What deal?”He goes and sits on the couch, sprawled and he easily fills it up, sitting like he is the king or something. “My wolf needs time with you otherwise he gives me a hard time. Tonight is one of those nights.”“Ew! Get out, get out!” I grab a pillow and start hitting him grossed out. “I am not some hooker you can come by in the midnight to satisfy you and then

    ARIZade’s car explosion is the talk of the school the next day.I keep my head down, hugging my books close to my chest as I make my way to my first class, avoiding anything that might sell me out. If they knew I was the one who did it, they would all eat me alive.Zade is their beloved prince, the most feared boy, and the alpha of the academy. It's clear whose side everyone is on. Starting a war with someone like that is plain stupid because not only are you facing him off but the whole damn school.But I am done trying to be good, fit in, and be liked. He deserved it so I won't waste my time trying to police my morality. That doesn't mean that I slept a wink last night since I kept wondering why he didn’t seem mad, why he didn’t drag me by my hair and execute me for torching his beautiful car.He seemed to … approve too like I made a point and he was pleased with it. I have never been so confused in my entire life as I feel now.I am caught up in my own head I completely miss the s

    ARIMy shackles rise as the tall girl approaches us, her mouth curled in a smile. Her eyes scan me up and down before turning to the person right beside me.I feel Mimi tense up as Olivia takes a step closer to her. “I was waiting for you.”I expected this, but that doesn’t lessen the twinge of disappointment I feel when Olivia takes Mimi’s hand and drags her away from me.“wh-what do you want?” Mimi’s eyes widen as she trips on her feet, almost falling as Olivia drags her away.“My homework, where is it?”“Oh, I have it, I finished writing last night. The theories explained are all-““I don’t need to hear about the homework, I gave you to solve it for a reason,” Olivia smiles, her voice cloyed with such sweetness you wouldn’t think that she could ever be malicious.I haven’t seen her since she left me for dead. I am angry, as she moves about as if she didn’t stab me. I look around the filling classroom and notice that we are the center of attention as if they are all waiting for a fi

I didn’t ask to be here in the first place.“Are you going to let her sit with us?” the flirt asks Zade who has been ignoring all of this and reading in his little book.“I don’t give a fuck what she does.”“Run along now,” one of the girls waves me off.“I will just tell the teacher we are not compatible then,” I smile, before rolling my eyes, smile dropping as I walk over to the teacher at the front of the class.“Is she seriously tattle-telling on us?”“Can I change the group? I don’t think-““You are Ari Silvers, right? New student?” she cuts me off.“Yes ma'am.”“In this school, we all try and get along. You are new here yes, but this is an opportunity for you to get to know your classmates.”“But they-““Is this going to be a problem?” her gaze turns cold.She is not going to help me.

    ZADEI have been having mood swings of late.It's so damn annoying I don’t know if I want to strangle someone or cry. This is too alien for me and I know none of these emotions are mine but that doesn’t make me feel them all any less.Like now, I am feeling so awful, so bad my chest feels like it's carving itself in and it’s all my fault.I know it's my fault that Silvers is crying and feeling dejected, and this hating game I have going on is tanking so badly right now.“You, good man?” Rowan sits next to me, putting his tray on the table. You look like you are mad at the food.”“I am fine.” Far from it.Ari and her girls all arrive at the table, and she opts to sit far from me. I guess we are still fighting. I haven’t gone to apologize and make amends so I know she is going to ignore me until I do. We lock eyes but she looks away, turning to Rhea to talk to her about something.I should be worried and thinking of how to make amends with my girlfriend. I should be preoccupied with tha

Lots of proteins, high-energy foods, and a glass of milk.” I turn to look at the wide-eyed girl who is looking so confused but wary.Does she think I will poison her in front of everyone or something? Not my style- the poison, I mean.“Don’t just stand there, get it and get lost, don’t make me regret this,” I mutter before making my way back to my table.I don’t miss the act that the whole academy just watched all unfold, probably heard everything too. No, my attention is back to my table and the way Olivia is watching me like she is going to incinerate me with just her eyes.Behind all that fury, I don’t miss the embarrassment and hurt. I am dick and I know it.“What’s that about? You are in team Ari now?” Rowan puts his fork down just as I sit down, exhaling. Livie“I didn’t know there were teams.”“What are you talking about?

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   I WILL LET YOU LOVE ME

    ARIZade is letting me take what I need from him, this time letting me have my way on my terms.It has been that way from the very beginning, but tonight, it's like he wants me to take care of myself using him and, in a way, take care of himself too, by using him.So when I guide him and press him on my opening, we both freeze, breathing heavily before I urge him with a pull of his hips to push inside me.And heavens, it feels delicious. The stretch, the feeling of him opening me up as my walls accommodate him until he is fully seated inside me …I contract, squeezing him, feeling the girth inside me and I want to swallow more of him, suck him in and keep him there … it’s a heady, good feeling.“Why won't you love me?” The hoarse whisper makes me open my eyes just as Zade looks at me. He is …crying?“What?” I ask, eyes wide.“Why did you say you can't love me?”“Because,” I shift, and we both groan. His hips jerk in response, and he starts moving slowly. He has forgotten about the que

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   SLOWLY THAWING

    ARIWhen the body is exposed to extreme cold, at some point, it stops supplying the less important parts with blood in order to save the vital organs.It has been quite similar to me. I have spent most of my life just functioning, and apparently it has been necessary for my body to cut off supplies to some of the things anyone my age would deem normal to have.There hasn’t been a case where I could feel anything other than flight and flight. But eventually, here I am.My body is thawing, slowly coming to life, and it feels so good.Zade’s tongue is slicking inside my mouth, seeking and touching every crevice inside. His body is pressed to mine to keep me up, one thigh pressed between my legs, one hand grabbing my butt, hips flushed.I am weak at my knees. I want him, I can feel him, and I am floating. I know I am kissing him, but I am also falling and falling, feeling safe that he will catch me.It’s a dam that has been let loose.He is mine. I shouldn’t feel this way. I should feel g

    ZADE“But then it will be another, then another… if you can be swayed so easily, then is it even worth it?”“I wasn’t swayed easily. You and I know that there is more to us than a bond between mates.”“Hard to believe that when all that connects us is that.”“Our parents do connect us, too. Do you think we wouldn’t have crossed paths if we hadn’t been mates?”“We could have, but you would be intent on killing me or destroying my life like you did at the beginning.”“That’s true. But you can just chalk up my feelings and invalidate them, simplify them to one variable.”“It’s the only thing that is making sense. I mean, here I am, sitting in your love sanctuary, surrounded by your memories with her, and yet you are telling me it's me you want. What about her? Why was it so easy for you to just leave her?”“If you hadn't shown up, I already knew it would rather be her that I pretended with, cosplayed my inner wishful thinking even though it wasn’t true.”I close my eyes briefly before lo

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   DRAG ME DOWN WITH EVERY WORD

    ZADEThere is something dark, alluring, and compelling about Ari Silvers that I have never been able to fully comprehend.Her beauty and magnetism are not the traditional kind. It's raw, demands that you see her, revere her, and ache to be close to her, so you can bathe in it.She is beautiful in the traditional sense as well, but then you look again. And again, and again. You are drawn in, wanting, needing, desiring, and even wanting to corrupt.She is pure, she is dark, she is innocent, but also twisted. She is all that you wish you could hold and covet to yourself, but you cannot. For it is not to be held by others and coveted, stolen, but to be looked at, worshiped, and if you are good, to be bathed in.But never yours.She is sitting on the rooftop.I followed the feeling of our bond, and I am surprised, a little unsure why she would be here. This is where she fell, almost to her death after all.Her knees are pressed against her chest as she looks at the far distance, lost in wh

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   YES, SHE HAS ME BY THE COLLAR

    ZADEI stop behind one balding man, I think he is here because he is a legacy. Not the official family but still as important. I can see the sweat trickling down his neck into the stiff, tight suit he is wearing.If I wasn’t so sure before, now standing behind him as he reeks of fear … it's solid. My hand goes through his back, and I touch the organ that’s beating and warm in my palm.Gasps echo around, but no one says a word, as they look at me with horrified expressions, save for my father, of course.“This man,” I turn to Jude, “you missed this man.” My fingers close around the beating organ and pull my hand back. The body shakes, twitching before his head thumps on the table like a log. The scent of blood permeates the air, thickening it with the tension and fear pulsing in the room.I walk over to Jude and let the organ fall on his file, and he looks at it, eyes wide. I am sure he isn't breathing. After all, I just killed a legacy, and he has a lot of mess to clean up.And also,

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   JUDE, YOU ARE FAILING

    ZADEWe are back to ignoring each other.Or to be more precise, Ari has gone back to hating my guts and ignoring my existence. And when she sees me, when our eyes meet, those first two seconds, time seems to slow down, and it's only us. The world fades away, and it's us, and I usually get this feeling in my chest, this heavy thing that is threatening to drown me, but in a sweet way.It's only us, as if we know something, just the two of us, and then the moment is snapped and broken, and she is back to scowling at me, rolling her eyes.But I know, those few seconds, where it is only us, when time stops and we only see each other, feel each other… that is the truth of us.She told me she wanted devotion and then proceeded to lock herself in the bedroom before she left early in the morning, even though we did spend the night together.I didn’t sleep, not when she was in the next room and I knew she wasn’t asleep either. I listened to her breathing, every turn and twist in the bed.I list

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   ALL OR NOTHING

    ARI“What's going on inside this little mind?” his voice is so close to me, nose brushing my temple.I should feel something. A tingle, but I am so damn tired. All I want is to sleep, forget that I exist for a few hours before I start going back to my life. I can't escape it anymore, now can I?“Nothing,” I sigh. “I am just a little sleepy.”Is he expecting more from me tonight?I wish I had the girls with me. They would allow me to be in your space. Maybe I should call them, text them, but I don't have my phone. I remember crashing it in the hotel suite before I walked out into the traffic.Maybe I am not as okay as I think. But getting a grip is important.If I am going to avenge and face the people who ruined me to begin with, I can't let go of the reality. I need to be focused and work hard to make sure they don’t destroy me before I destroy them.I know I am not going to come out of it. The plans I made to go study law as further studies, get out of the pack and live my life as a

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   BROKEN DOLL

    ARIMy life is a mess.It’s a fucked life, painful, dry, bland, void of colour.I am ugly too, rotting slowly inside, underserving of anything good because that’s just what is set in stone for me.Despite it all, despite feeling all of that, as Zade looks at me like I mean something, like I matter … I can't help but want to be under that gaze for a longer time.He is looking at me how he used to look at Olivia, like he might love me, like I mean something. He wants to know if I am okay, taking care of me, a gentle, caring touch on my cold, withering soul.I don’t deserve it, and yet.I yearn for it. Crave it. I can't not shudder under it.“Do you want me to ask you?”Yes. I want him to ask me. I want him to push for me to tell him what's going on in my head. For him to fight for me. I am selfish like that. Mother didn’t say anything untrue, because here I am, asking and taking what doesn’t belong to me.I came into this life, took Olivia’s man under fate’s guidance, and yes. It hurt.

  • THE REJECTED LYCAN PRINCESS   WHY WONT YOU ASK ME?

    ARII don’t think I have ever truly let myself think deeply about Zade, who is becoming, and his birthright. I am not one to attach my identity to the boy I am seeing or crushing on, and in this case, the boy I am mated to.But it's still heavy. I find it … sexy that he is already so mature, powerful too, and it's only going to get even better.Yes, I think I am crushing on Zade, and I can't control choking on my water once that fully hits me.“Are you okay?” he asks me as he rushes to my side, rubbing my back.“Yeah,” I wheeze out. “Guess I am a little surprised.”“Why?” he chuckles as he gets back to cooking.“The first thing someone sees when they see you is how spoiled you are.” That’s not true.The first thing I saw and felt when I first laid my eyes on him was just how magnetic and powerful he was. Yes, you could tell from miles away that he is wealthy, but it wasn’t the kind I got from the rest of the students.No, his was the quiet, generational wealth that just didn’t come fr
