(Ariana POV)
When I woke up, I realize I only slept about four hours and found that Nat was still sleeping. I then looked over to Casmir to see if he was asleep just to see he still asleep, but my dad was awake talking to Gamma Jeremy. As I waited for Nat to wake up, I just sat there thinking about how much of my life is changing at this moment. I'll be going to a new school a private school that I know will be so much different not including the kids will also be werewolf's and witches. Im hoping it'll be better than being around humans who thinks Im a freak because the way I look. Wearing a school uniform might be odd at first but I should get use to it in time. I waited for a while until Nat decide he was going to wake up, but he still looked tired."Hey Ariana, how long have you been awake?""Only for a while.""You look like your deep into thought. Would you like to talk to me about it?""Well since were going to stuck in this van for a few more hours I might as well find out more about living in a pack. So, the Alpha is the highest ranking in the pack?""Well yes he's the highest rank in a pack like mine but there is something that is a higher rank than your uncle.""What would that be?""That would be the Alpha King. There are three of them in America. America is spilt into three territories. There is the west side, central and then there is us as the east side territory.""Wow, three kings but why so many?""Well America is a pretty big country. Usually in country has only one well expect Africa. I think there is at least seven but I'm not sure.""Who's the royal family here?""Well, its King Alexander Heinrich, Queen Aurora, Prince Marcus, Princess Alexandria, Princess Kiara, Princess Dannica, Prince Daniel and Damir that are identical twins are the royal family for our packs."The rest of the drive there I was deep in thought trying to figure out just how much my life is going to change. I really miss my mom right now. I was always so close to her cause she was the only one that understand me. Don't get me wrong I love my dad, but he's always been closer to Casmir than with me."Hey sweetie, we're here. Why don't you grab your bag and take it to your new room? Than get wash up and change so we can join your uncle for lunch.""Hey Nat, why don't you show Ariana to her new room?""Sure dad. Hey Casmir, I can also show you to your room as well since it's right across from your sister.""No thank you. I'll find my room on my own if you don't mind."My brother than walked away with my dad and the Gamma Jeremy. I'm not sure what's wrong with my brother right now and I don't think he's willing to talk to me about it. I went with Nat to go see my room that I'll be staying in for a few weeks before going to a new school. When I walk into my new room the first thing that I see was there were so many window to let the light into my room. I loved the colors that were picked out of many shades of a cream to a light brown. The bed was a queen sizes with two nightstands on each side of it. With a love seat and chair on the far side of the room."So, I'm guessing from the look on your face that you really like this room that was put together just for you.""Yes. How can I not. Wait, what do you mean it was put together just for me and by who?"He looked very nerves that either he slipped that info out or that I asked about it."Well, I wasn't really supposed to tell you about that, but it was Akasma the next Alpha of this pack.""You mean my cousin? Why would he even do that for me?""I'm not really sure. Well, you're going to need to freshen up and come have lunch with the family and higher up pack members."Like that he was out of my room before I could say or ask anything else from him. It didn't take to long for me to take a quick shower and get dress. I grabbed my long black sleeve shirt that does expose my shoulders, and black leather pants with zipper pockets. I always loved this outfit. I also grabbed my black boots and yes, I know wearing all black just shows off more of the idea how pale my skin is. As soon as I was ready to head down to the dinning room area that Nat made sure to give me direction to the room on my own. It didn't take that long even though I did get lost here and there but its not my fault for this place is as big as a small mall. I get into the room and it looks as if everyone else is already showed up with the food already on the table. The dinning room was large with a large wood table in the middle of the room. The chairs are made from black iron. The table can seat up to sixteen people. My father and brother is already here besides eight other people I have never met, but one of the men looks so like my dad. I wonder if he might be my uncle and the Alpha to this pack."Oh Ariana, I'm so glad that your were able to join us. I'm your uncle Cadmar and I'm happy to finally be able to meet you. No thanks to my brother."My dad just glared at him without saying a word."I'd like you meet my mate and the packs Luna Kalyna. My oldest son Akasma and future Alpha of this pack. The twins Consalvo and Rosalia. You met Gamma Jeremy and his son Nathaniel, but I like you to meet his mate Namid. I'm hoping you and your brother will enjoy living here with us and with that please enjoy your meal."We were having salmon, rice, with assorted veggies and a salad on the side. It seems all the adults and my oldest cousin were drinking a red wine. Everyone younger had a sparkling grape juice. I look around the table looking at all the new faces. I can see that my uncle has the same dark hair with blue eyes as my dad. My older cousin also had dark brown hair, but he had green hazel eyes. You can say he is a good-looking guy and very muscle. I can see all the girls just throwing themselves at him. The twins were different. The boy had dark hair and dark eyes but his siter was a light brown hair with light blue eyes. When I looked back to Akasma I noticed him staring at me in a strange way that made me feel uneasy."Ariana?""Yes, and you're Rosalia?""Yes, your cousin and I hope we can become good friends."She smiled at me with so happily, but I can still see in the corner in my eye that he was still watching me with a wicked smile upon his face.'Yue, what you think? I'm not sure why he's looking at us that way.''I'm not sure either, but I'm getting a bad feeling about it.''I guess we should stay on alert when were around him and especially when were alone with him.''That be best Ariana, but it be better never to be alone with him.'"Hey Ariana, come with me to my room. I need to show you your outfit for school. They were sent here last week, and you need to try them on to make sure that we got the right size for you. If not, well still have time to send them back to get the right size for you.""Sure, just show me the way."She walks away as I follow her to her room, but I can still feel him watching my ever move but why?(Ariana POV) When we get to my cousins room, I couldnt believe just how much her room reminded me of a princesss room. There was a queen size bed in room that looked almost like a canopy but not quite the same. The room was all in a cream color that made the room feel warm and inviting. "Here is the uniform that you'll need for your new school. My father had about three order for you. Why don't you try it on so were sure we gotten the right size from your dad and if not, we have time to order new ones." I walked into her bathroom so I can try on one of the dress that I'm not used to having to wear or wearing a school uniform. Her bathroom was so large and breathtaking. The outfit was a button up white t-shirt, a black tie, black skirt, knee high black socks, and black jack
(Ariana POV) The morning came and I didn't hear anything from him as I get the rest of my stuff into the van to start our trip to the school that will take at least a three-hour drive to get there. While we were driving to the school, I had time to think how this will be the first time to be in a school of werewolves. I've been in school that had only humans in it, and I never felt like I fit in with them. My skin was very pale, with my silver hair and eyes so they treated me like I was a freak. I always had to control Yue while I was in school because humans don't know anything about us and might not take what we are well. I hated that I always had to hide who I am and lying to anyone who would even try to be my friend. I guess it didn't even matter if I did made friends because in time we always had to move for some reason. We will only stay in one place about six months or one-year tops. I asked my parents many times why and I was always told that it
(Ariana POV) "Hey, can I ask everyone something? Can someone please explain the whole mate thing?" Everyone stopped eating and Look up to me with a confusion on their face. My brother who seemed to be all wrapped up in Maddie look toward me as well like I had said the stupidest thing in the world. "What would you like to know about mates?" "Well Nat, I want to know everything that you know. Like, how does the mate bond work? How can you tell who your mate is? What happens when you find your mate or what if you never find your mate? What is it with this marking your mate does, and do you mark each other? What happens if you or your mate doesn't want to be together?" They all stared at me like I grew a second head. "Wow Ariana, you're not asking much are you. S
(Ariana POV) I really don't remember the rest of that day because it went by so fast, too fast for my liking. None of us felt like cooking so we all order takeout food. My brother is busy with Maddie setting up their in-living area. I would have loved to talk to Casmir about this mate thing but knowing him to track this guy down and kill him for hurting me. It hurts because my brother and I never kept anything from each other, now I feel things are changing between us. I decide a quick shower and off too bed I go. I shut down my mind to anyone trying to link me, I just want to be left alone. I'm not sure how long a slept before I hear my door opening, like who the hell would dare to wake me up without getting hurt. "What the hell sis? Why did you shut me out when I was trying to tell you good night? Are you mad at me?"
(Marcus POV) We were both walking by the river hand to hand, just me and my silver rose. The woman I love and wanted to not only spend my life with, but to have my pups with. As we were walking, I watched her silver hair blowing into the wind, her pale porcelain skin glowing in the moonlight, and her musical laughter caressing my ears. Before I knew it, she let go of my hand and started to run ahead of me laughing as she looks back at me wanting me to chase her. I smiled as I started to chase my beautiful mate, but the more I chase the further she got from me until I no longer can see her. I stop to try and pick up her scent of Gardenia and vanilla, but not even a hint of it could be found. Out of nowhere the winds started to pick up to become cold and cruel against the skin on my face. Then it became deadly quiet until a scream cuts into the silent air, and it was my silver rose screaming in pure pain. I ran toward the sound to find her still body lying on the forest floor with blood
(Marcus POV)Before I called my Dad to ask him what I should do, I decide to see why my mate was there in the weight room in the first place. I remember following her scent to Mrs. Diana Macey office, so I decide to go back to see why my mate was there in the first place. That's when I found some paperwork on her desk and found information on her. I found out her name is Ariana Silverio, her wolfs name is Yue and that her wolf is silver. She's the girl in my dreams with the silver hair, and now I know I had really fucked up big time. I hurry out of the building as I called my dad hoping hell know what I can do to fix this."Marcus, whats going on? I wouldn't think you would be calling me so early in the day.""Dad, I really messed up with my mate.""Marcus, please calm down and tell me what exactly happened.""I had that dream again Dad, so I went to work out like I usually do when that happens. As, I was finishing up this female that I can't even remember her name walked in, starts gi
(Ariana POV)I ran back to school to get away from my so-called mate Marcus and just made it to my second hour class before it ended. Mr. Magnar Ragnvald wasn't happy that I was late for the first day of class, but for some reason he didn't punish me for being late. He's the teacher for my werewolf's history class that I really need to take so I can better know about our history. My next class is Creative Writing and my teacher in that class is Mrs. Shade. I was glad I was able to take this class since I've always been rather good at writing and had a lot of time to do so since I really had no friends to hang around. After getting to my fourth hour class t
(Ariana POV)I just sat there while Principal Hermoso Muerte and my so-called mate Marcus pretty much plan out my future living without even asking me what I wanted.“Wait, don’t I have a say in this?”They both just looked at me as if I grew a second head or something.“Ms. Silverio, do you understand how this mate bond works?”“No, not really. I haven’t really lived with other werewolves, so no I have no clue about this world.”I knew this was going to bite me in the butt one day.“Please trust me Ms. Silverio and kno
