Ariana's POVAs I walked toward the source of the sound, dreading what I would find there, I was certain that someone was screaming. After all, it was only a human being who could produce sounds like that; an animal could not. As I continued my trek along the hallway, I hoped that the screaming person was not in some kind of danger. But if the person was not in danger, what then was the cause of such pained screams I was hearing? It had to be something dangerous. Still, I pushed my thoughts aside and placed my focus on finding the source of the screaming.As I walked further and further along the hallway, I was surprised that I had not yet gotten to the source of the sound. It had sounded more closer than it seemed when I first heard it. Why then had I not gotten to it yet after about a minute of walking? Still I was determined to locate the screaming person and do what I could to ease their pain because clearly, the person was in pain. I just hoped that when I finally traced the scr

Ariana's POVAs Colin, the former cook lunged toward me, it was just like the scene with the wolf from when I had just come into this pack. The wolf had lunged at me and I had been defenseless. This scene too was like that, only that the difference in them was that the first time, a large black wolf had charged at me but this time, it was a pudgy middle aged man who had an injury covering his entire back. The difference was clear.The wolf that had tried to kill me then was the Beta of this pack but that was not the point. The point was that if I could manage to dodge the wolf of the Beta of this pack, clearly a strong man, then who was a sick fat man that I couldn't dodge? I shifted my stance, positioning myself properly against his massive frame. Before long he was almost on me, his huge stomach in my face when I side stepped him at the last moment, making him fall to the floor of the room with a heavy thud. I had known exactly how he wanted to move. He had wanted to land on me as

Ariana's POVWhat did you do to him, Ariana?The question still rang in my brain. What was I to do? Should I tell her the truth or not? Why did she even want to know about it? What business of hers was it? What exactly had Colin said to make her think I had done something to him? Here I was, asking many questions with no answers. Before I could think of what to reply Claire with, she cut into my thoughts."You did something to him, didn't you? Tell me the truth, Ariana. Your secret is safe with me," she said. The smirk was still on her face and it annoyed the hell out of me to the extent that I wanted to wipe it off with a strike to her face."And what makes you so sure that I did something to him? He might be lying for all you know," I said, mirroring her smirk with one of my own. "He is a patient, after all, and from the looks of it, he was delirious. Surely you have been taught that you can't believe everything that comes out of a patient's mouth, especially one as delirious as th

Ariana's POVClaire and I moved to the lab so that she could carry out the test on me. Considering that I had spent seventeen years on earth, I had never had my blood tested before and I was not scared about it. How could I, when I had been totured for many years. Of course, just a little withdrawal of blood didn't scare me. I just wanted to see how it was done. Claire settled down to work and got busy, preparing the equipments that she would need. When she was done, she spoke. "Give me your left hand."Since we were sitting opposite each other on white cane chairs, it was easy for me to outstretch my hand to her, and she took it, pricked the inner skin of my index finger and let drops of blood fall onto the glass, and that was it. She only had to run the test.I settled down to watch her as she moved around the equipments, set the test running and moved back to my side to take her seat. I watched her and she watched me but this time, there wasn't even a hint of animosity between us.

Ariana's POVThe voice called out again before I could turn around. "Ariana! Wait up!"I whirled around and came face to face with the smiling face of Henry, Diana's brother. He waved cheerfully at me as he saw that I had turned around. Then he walked towards me, the smile on his face never dissolving. When he got to me, he spoke."Hi, Ariana," he greeted."Hi," I answered, but it was a bit awkward. Henry and I had never spoken except that time when the Alpha had sent me to fetch him, and I discovered that he was Diana's brother.Henry smiled even more to make up for the awkward situation. "And how are you doing today, Ariana?" he asked."I'm fine, and you?" I replied."I'm fine too," he said, the sides of his eyes crinkling with joy."That's great," I replied.Henry was a very handsome young man but he did not have the type of appeal that Alpha Derek did. Alpha Derek was hot but Henry was cute. He had beautiful green eyes just like Diana and his lips just like hers, too. Henry's nose
