Ariel’s pov I got up from my chair, feeling the tears come. “No Troy, you can’t just give up your life for me.” Troy tried to grab my arm. He looked so good today. His black shirt was hugging all his muscles and he had a lot of them. His hair was really cute and his dimples, o my god. His dimples were adorable. He was so good looking, why in the hell was he interested in me?! Not just that. He was also so nice and sweet and just the best man ever. I couldn’t even imagine why someone would pair Troy and me together. Not because of our looks alone, but because of me. Of my sins. This date had been wonderful, but it was an illusion. In a few weeks I would be leaving and Troy would be heartbroken. I should just end things. But I had no idea how to reject someone and I didn’t want to. It was selfish of me and I should just do it. I walked out, hearing Troy call my name. I didn’t know where I was going, I just walked and five minutes later Troy was right behind me. He grabbed my arm and

Osiris’ pov After Troy told me everything, I went back to sleep. I was too tired to think, having spent the day working and being with the kids. Those first weeks were always the hardest. “And the cutest.” Santos said. “Now, who is the big softie. Asher and Kate have changed you just as much as they did me.” I joked. Santos was right, Kate was adorable. I would just watch her sleep or sometimes see her stare at something. Everything was new to her. When I woke up I felt rested, well a bit. Kate only woke up three times this time and Lily had the hardest part, breastfeeding Kate. I changed the diaper after she was done and checked on Asher. I knew it made Lily sleep better knowing he was safely in his bed. The realization of what Troy told me suddenly came to me. Ariel’s father had used his daughter as an excuse to do horrible things. But he had experimented on Ariel as well. She didn’t ask to be this. I could never hold her responsible, especially after everything she already wen

Troy’s pov I went to the packhouse to pick Ariel up. I knew she wasn’t comfortable with me buying stuff for her, but she was my mate. I always envisioned spoiling my mate. Plus she deserved something nice. They were just clothes, I’d buy her the world if I could. Usually Ariel would wait for me outside the packhouse, but this time she wasn’t there yet. “Maybe she can’t decide what to wear,” Orlando suggested. I walked to her room and knocked on the door. “You can come in.” Ariel said and I opened the door. Ariel was standing in front of a large mirror, looking absolutely breathtaking. Her hair was even more beautiful than before. It looked a lot healthier too. She was wearing a bit of make-up and a really cute dress. It was a black halter dress with tiny straps. It covered her scar, which I knew was important to her and it hugged her body. It was short and showed off her legs. “You look so good! Your hair is gorgeous and that dress is incredible. You are incredible.” I told Arie

Osiris’ pov “Alpha? I know you told me to stay away, but I ran into that girl and I kind of lost my cool and yelled at her. She looked really scared and ran away. I am so sorry. Please don’t throw me out.” Larry’s voice said through the mindlink. I growled, “you were already warned Larry. I don’t have time to deal with you right now.” I didn’t have time, because I needed to see if Ariel was okay. First thing I did was call Ariel, but it went straight to voicemail. I mindlinked Troy, hoping she was with him. Shit, I really hope Ariel didn’t walk away again. “Is Ariel with you, Troy?” I asked. “No, she should be here any moment. Why?” Troy said, sounding concerned. I told Troy what Larry had said and Troy started to growl, “I will kill him.” “Just focus on finding Ariel right now, we will handle Larry after.” Larry had send me the location where he last saw Ariel and Troy, me and some trackers tried to track her trace. It took us all the way to the river and then we lost the trac

Ariel’s pov “Hi Ariel,” a woman’s voice said. I couldn’t really see anything. Did I die? I did die right? I felt this sense of peace and calmness, but that was suddenly gone. “Yes, you died. But Troy found you and he and the doctors have been trying everything to save you.” the voice said again. Did she just read my mind? “Yes,” she started to laugh, “get used to it girl. Because I am here to stay! I am your wolf Samantha!” Samantha sounded really happy and excited, but all I felt was confusion. A wolf? She came closer to me and my eyes were starting to get used to my surroundings. Not that there was anything here, it was just a dark space. But before me stood a ginger wolf. She wasn’t as big as Troy’s, but not small either. And she was beautiful. Blue eyes and fur the color of the sunrise. “Well, you’re pretty awesome yourself honey,” Samantha laughed. “I know it’s all freaking weird, but I will explain okay?” “So you know your father. That stupid bastard?” She started. “Yea
