~The sweet harbinger of death~Bryson POVIt wasn't that easy, I don't know how I could and was able to follow Douglas' request that I should bring Ariadne over.I simply obliged like it was some sort of obligation."Hey, you shouldn't worry that it will grow by itself and make sure you settle the bill.""It's my town. My pack.""That doesn't mean that you are an exception to paying for what you buy." Douglas flashed with a devious smirk, he doesn't care that his wife was there. Damn stupid dick!"Ain't you taking Tracy home?" I yelled more like a demand after him.He turned back and Juniper's face was expressionless. I liked the fact that she had accepted him for who he is, severally I have served as a judge while Eugenia with Williams serves as the lawyer. "You shouldn't worry, it's late at night. Just wait, I will send Aiden to come and get you to the mansion." I turned to her. She held her child to her chest.Maybe she won't have endured, maybe she could have gone had she not had

Bryson POV"Fuck!" I kicked the cardboard at my front. I shouldn't have let her know. My mate turned her back and walked out from me. It ran through my veins, it hurt like a tang. Like something, I have never felt before."Ariadne, where are you? Is everything okay? Did you arrive home safely?" I typed on my phone and clicked on delete again. Sending a message over has now become hard. So fucking hard.I feared that she might not respond.She is hurt. I caused it.I brought her closer and let that bitch rant about her mouth, her secret couldn't have remained locked away but it was safe with me and we would enjoy what we have. Now she would be labeled by the pack. There wasn't evidence. But Cindy had never led either.Fuck! Cindy!I hit my leg at the edge of the wall this time around. It hurts so much that I like the feeling. I deserve every feel of it.'You're ruined.' It played in my head like a tape. She had defended me on several occasions in her ways. Could it mean I couldn't he

~Ariadne POV~ Liliana latched the word to my throat by her sudden outburst. I glared around. The guests' gaze flickered to me as I walked out of the dead. Like I was a piece of shit. lots of murmuring, muttering hateful words.It breaks me the most.Liliana swore never to forgive me.How bad. How shocking the scumbag Alpha had won the heart of everyone. He is kind but stern.He's the law here.The monarch. And his father lived a legend. He wasn't as influential as Alpha Henry. He is born a self-made leader. Hannah found it hard to promise me. Which breaks me. If she knows it was because I'm from the Abyss, she would forget her promise and go against it. Just like everyone she would be frightened. But I don't blame her or anyone. I'm not proud of myself either. But I have no control over my identity. None of this will exist in some hours to come. Alpha Henry will be here to commemorate the moon festival as well as Alpha Creed with his own motives. I have to do this. I have to inf

~Bryson POV~"Is it that she wants to kill you? If she does, I won't forgive her." I smiled bitterly at what Liliana was saying.She had no idea.So I don't blame her.I love Ariadne already.It's too late to step back."What if… she doesn't do it. It's just a rumour and Ariadne is too kind to do something like that. Don't you think so?" Liliana stood by my side today just as I stood by hers and watched her grow."I believe so but I don't trust them, if she is from the Abyss it means she is cruel and doesn't have pity. At first, I had that impression of her, she smelled as described, sweet savoury smell, unique, but not anymore. It hurts me if it's true. Both of you are an essential part of my life.""You see you have answered yourself why are you still scared?"Maybe I'm overthinking things. It could be that. I felt she had changed, I know she has changed. If she hadn't I wouldn't have seen her come back and help Williams and look at me.Her attempt to hack at Williams to talk to me.

AriadneI walked out of the room and slowly traced the stairs while holding the rim.It was hard. So fucking hard. The decision. I watched through the window and saw the evening approach. The sun slowly fades into the sky. It was almost time and tonight was going to be a long night. The whole pack was now slowly drifting to the woods."Ariadne thank God you're here." Hannah rushed towards me. She has very sharp eyes and I knew she realized how pale I have grown in just a day."Hannah, you should go to the others I need to eat first." I lied."Great, I was suggesting that. Don't tell me you haven't eaten anything since daybreak. What about the food I kept at the diner? You didn't even take a bite, did you? It took me a whole lot of effort to prepare for it.""I will meet you on the field," I said calmly and walked through the steps.She wanted to scream after me. But held herself. I knew she had already heard the gossip. And for some reason was holding herself back from letting me know.
