I woke up the next morning to the sound of something and looked around the room I was in. My eyes blinked and my vision managed to adjust itself to focus on the surroundings. The place I was currently in was strange to me. It was the biggest room I had ever slept in for as long as I could remember and its furnishings weren't bad at all. As my mind came back to focus, I remembered how and when I had come to this room.Yesterday evening, after I had my meal in the totally empty dining hall, I managed to locate the Alpha's quarters and found an abandoned storeroom next to it. The storeroom was very dusty and it looked as if it hadn't been used in a very long time. It wasn't empty and all the items in the room had thick coatings of dust on them. As I looked closer at the items, I discovered that they were items of furniture. A bed and a mattress was there together with a closet and a desk and chair. There was also a dressing table with a very cloudy mirror affixed to it. The room was ver

Ariana's POVI stepped out of the bathroom, a clean light blue towel around my body which was still dripping with water. I dried off the water with the towel, sat down in front of the vanity and applied my lotion to my body before I got up and pulled the doors of the closet open. I looked through the clothes hung in it and came to the conclusion that someone close to my body size had once stayed in this room because that was the only explanation for the size of clothes I found in there. All the clothes I saw hung there looked like they were mine, like they were made for me. From dresses to pants to blouses and tops to skirts and even underwear and panties, all the clothes were my exact size. I pulled out a pair of dark brown skinny jeans and a cream colored sweater with pictures of wild flowers on it. I pulled them on and went back into the bathroom to take care of my hair rolling my eyes at my mistake. I should have done my hair immediately after stepping out of the shower instead

Ariana's POVAs Alpha Derek pronounced the sentence on Colin, my jaw went slack in surprise. Everyone else in the room were surprised too except Alpha Derek. I was puzzled. What had Colin done to make the Alpha order him to be whipped in public tomorrow? I wanted to know. I needed to find out, but I was saved from having to ask Alpha Derek when he himself spoke."All of you present in this office might be wondering what Colin did to warrant a public whipping and I will tell you. I normally eat what the whole pack members eat at all times, except that my meals are usually prepared specially. You, girl," he said pointing at me. "When you went to the kitchens this morning, and you met Colin there, what did he tell you the morning meal was?" he asked me. I blinked rapidly before I answered his question. "He said it was porridge, fresh fruits and cookies, Master," I replied.The Alpha continued. "And when you went to the dining hall this morning to have your breakfast, what did you eat th

Ariana PovI walked to the direction of the Alpha's quarters. I was just coming back from the kitchens where I went to ask the head cool what they were cooking for dinner. They had just started the preparation of the food when I got there and this time, it was the head cook who attended to me, a slim handsome man with low cut hair instead of Colin, the deputy head cool, who just shrank back in a corner glaring daggers at me as if I was the one responsible for the unfortunate situation he found himself in.I stared at him too, to show him that I wasn't the least bit bothered or intimidated by his look if that was what he was hoping for since I was not responsible for his predicament. No, I was not the one who forced him to prank me neither did I lie to the Alpha about the choice of food he had told me. I was free of everything so I did not feel guilty at all. Not even a tiny bit of guilt passed through me.The head cook introduced himself to me as Richard and I smiled at him as he shoo

Ariana's POVThe girl walked towards me purposefully, her beautiful face dissolving into an equally beautiful smile. Her strides were long and confident and her whole pose echoed the confidence in her. She had to be from one of the families who were at the top of the hierachy in this pack. I wondered what she must be coming to me for but I dismissed the thought. Her face did not seem to be coming for trouble and I would learn the purpose of her coming when she reached my side.Finally, she got to me and took a seat opposite me on the table. She beamed like she just found a missing treasure and extended her hand out for me to shake it. Puzzled, but still determined to make a good impression, I took her hand and gave it a firm shake. She was still beaming when she released my hand so I looked at her in confusion."Hi, beautiful. I am Diana. What is your name?" she asked."My name is Ariana," I replied, still confused."Ariana," she said, testing my name and rolling it on her tongue like
