Ariana's POV"No, Ms Brown, it's too dangerous," Michael said to me."Michael, I can't sit here and do nothing. I can't sit here and watch Damien slowly drift away without doing anything. I want to go out there and do everything to find those ingredients," I said, my pain evident in my voice and my determination so strong in my eyes."Ms Brown, he is my alpha, and I have worked with him for many years before he met you. I can't say I understand your pain, because we both have a different relationship with him, but I will also do everything within my power, up to laying down my life for my alpha. It is my responsibility to protect his luna in his absence. And this is why I can't let you go out there into the woods with me. You will be safe here, my luna," Michael said."Good, it's your responsibility to protect me, your luna," I said with teeth clenched while tears streamed down my face. "How can you protect me when you are out there and I am here, exposed to anyone who might sneak up
Ariana's POVDamien and I arrived at the company and we went up to the office. Everything was okay until I noticed how restless Damien looked. I drew closer and touched his forehead. He was burning with fever. "Damien," I called out to him, but he just stared at me with droopy eyes. "Damien, are you alright?" I asked, but I was met with his silence. "Damien, what is wrong with you?" I asked, as I tried to steady him in his seat, because he was now all over the place. Eventually, he fell off the seat and I couldn't stop him. I called out to Michael, and he quickly rushed in."I don't know what is wrong with him," I reported to Michael, and he quickly stooped down to check on him."Oh my god, his being poisoned," Michael said, and I frowned."Poisoned?" I repeated the word as it sounded strange to me. "When? How?" I asked multiple questions at the same time."It's wolfbane. We need to get him to the hospital immediately," Michael said and pulled his phone out of his pocket."Get in, a
Damien's POVI returned home from work and was shocked by what I heard. Since when did cats become friends with rats, or Lions become friends with tigers? I rub my ears, trying to convince myself I'm hearing things. "Michael, do you hear that happy chatting?" I asked."Alpha, I do. It sounds like Ms Brown and Ms Victoria are having a good time in the living room," Michael replied. With Michael's reply, I moved into the living room and to my horror, I saw Ariana and Victoria watching a movie together, with a jar of drink and popcorn sitting on the table. Victoria was sitting on the floor with her back resting on the front rail of the three-in-one couch, with a bowl of popcorn sitting on her lap. And Ariana was lying on the same couch, picking popcorn from Victoria's bowl."What is going on here?" I asked, interrupting the scene that looked like something that could only happen in a movie. It's only been 8 hours, I left the house, and we both know Victoria, my father and Demitri are
Victoria's POVAll our plans had failed, and Demitri had been arrested. I know Damien would pull everything to ensure Demitri is buried with this one. He will make sure Demitri stays in prison. However, I am still walking free, and so is Alpha Leo. I do agree with Alpha Leo, we need to apologise.I moved in with Damien, since I am carrying his child. We don't share a room, but I still live under his roof. Out of boredom, I sometimes go to my sister's place. Adolf left town following the kidnapping failure. Eve was also taking care of some business elsewhere and enjoying her love life, but she remains in constant communication with Damien. One of the servants informed me, Ariana was back in Damien's home. I knew going to Damien was a lost cause. I have fooled him before with my first time crying and breaking down, so I knew he would not believe me. So, I decided to go through Ariana. I kept checking in, and lucky me, Ariana stayed home. I took a cab and came to Damien's apartment. As
Ariana's POVI threw my hands around Damien and hugged him. He was a bit slow, like the sudden hug freaked him out, but I felt his hands embrace me."I was so scared," I whispered behind his ear while still hugging him."I was so scared too," I heard him reply. I pulled away from the hug and kissed him without warning. He held on to my body and hugged me tightly while responding to my kiss. I pulled away from the kiss and rested my head on his shoulder with my legs folded under me and my behind resting on my heel. "How did you find me and what happened?" I asked. "I returned from the meeting and found the office empty. I figured you were in the cafeteria, so I sat down to work," Damien narrated. "I felt your distress. It was too strong to ignore. You are not a wolf by birth, you are only linked with one, so it was difficult to mind-link you, but it wasn't difficult to find where you are reaching out to Sapphira," he continued. "I knew the location. I got the police to follow me qu
Alpha Leo's POVI left Damien's office with Victoria and called Demitri on my way back to my apartment."If you say Ariana has a link to the white wolf, harness her. Make her yours, and we can use her to get Damien out of the way," I said on the call."What is in it for me?" Demitri questioned. "After leaving me and my mum and marrying Damien's mum, what do you want from me?" he questioned. "I was wrong. I had nothing when I was with your mother. I only married Damien's mother so I will get something to take care of you and your mother, but your mother married another," I explained. "Damien's mother left everything in her son's name for whatever reason. This was another reason why I couldn't come back for you. Your stepfather was doing well. Well, until he passed on and left behind a bankrupt company. All you and I have is the inheritance from Damien's mother; if not, we are nothing. So are you going to help me or not?" I asked. "What do I get from helping you?" Demitri asked. "Yo
