Kevin's POVSingularly, I could describe my entire day as shit. I couldn't believe I acted like a total freak with Ariel earlier today. Of course, she was bound to feel uncomfortable when someone demands a kiss; it is literally both unpredictable and fucking creepy. Fuck! Now I wonder what she thinks of me. I won't be surprised when she'll starts avoiding me and giving me the cold shoulder. I do deserve it. Throughout the day, I kept sighing obliviously, and the keepers noticed. Of course, they tried to help in any way they could, but I couldn't cheer up. The fact that my mate might tend to avoid me gives me the chills. “Kevin, if there's anything we could do to help you, don't hesitate to tell us. You are a nice gentleman, and we'll do everything in our power to reciprocate the help you have rendered,” One of the keepers said tenderly before I left the park. I merely smiled, before leaving wordlessly. Telling them about my problem will only burden them unnecessarily; that is someth

Ariel's POVWaking up the next morning, I couldn't bring myself to stand up. For some reason, I have a feeling that today will be nothing but shit. Last night, Kevin and I didn't get along so well. After making that statement, I went straight to bed without having dinner, and I could tell that got him upset. Again, he must have had the notion that I'm an ungrateful brat. If I explain to him, is he going to understand? If I tell him the story from the beginning, will he also be able to share my hatred for them? I can't imagine myself being all buddy-buddy with them again. I hate them; that is a summary of it.Letting out an exhausted sigh, I forced myself to get out of bed. Afterward, I dragged my feet into the bathroom and had an unnecessarily long bath. Why do I feel so bittered knowing that he is angry with me? Is this how it feels when your mate doesn't want to talk to you? It hurts. Like a lot. When I was foolishly dating Ace, and despite how temperamental he was, I never felt

Chloe's POV“Chloe, don't mind her. She doesn't deserve a friend like you,”“You deserve someone better than Ariel. Mind being my friend?”“It is understandable if you did her wrong, she's worthless anyway,” “I heard Ariel was partially responsible for the death of a grandmother. Chloe, you should stop hanging out with someone as dangerous as her,”“Despite all you do for her, she doesn't appreciate you. What a bitch!"All these comments kept flooding in as I sat on my chair. My face was lowered, and it made it virtually impossible for anyone to see the last smile playing on my lips.What a bunch of fools they all are. I can't believe my plan worked better than I expected. I only anticipated that'll throw shades at Ariel. But surprisingly, they keep on consoling me with cheesy comments. Now I'm the good guy while Ariel is the motherfucking btch.‘Does getting praised feels this amazing ?’ I wondered joyfully. I merely lifted my head once Ace's scent filled my nostrils. As expected, m

Chapter seventeen. Ariel's POVDue to the raucousness of my tone, Tyler got shocked, and he fell heavily on the floor.“Ariel!” he growled, visibly displeased at me. He winced while standing up from the ground. Yet, I couldn't believe what he just said. Kevin has a crush?Okay. I know that shouldn't surprise me, considering how deadly handsome he is, but we are mates. Despite that, he went to see some girl who is drooling over him?Isn't that a bit unfair? I clenched my fist angrily as I tried my best not to let out another scream. The news is so overwhelming for me to control that I stood up.“Is something the matter? Or you're going to scream again?” Tyler asked with his eyes fixed on me. I let out a deep sigh before facing him. “Nothing's wrong; everything's fine, totally fine. And I apologize for yelling unexpectedly,” I apologized with a small smile spreading on my lips.“It's nothing. And you can apologize by helping me make dinner,” he arose from his seat and began walking t

Chapter nineteen Ariel's POV“Calm down? The hell! Look what this bitch did to me? And hell! My flight's in 30 minutes!” Shantel, I assumed kept yelling at the top of her voice, gathering unnecessary attention. Truthfully, I would have loved to stick a cork into her mouth, but that'll seem offensive. The pay here is good, and it's not too stressful, and I get to head back home pretty late, isn't that enough reason to endure this bitch's nagging?So, I continued apologizing, even though it wasn't sincere; she's the one clearly at fault. Anyone with seeing eyes could tell, unless whosoever is dysfunctional. Her friend, however, seemed tired of her endless ranting.“Shantel, look it's just a little stain,” she said softly. Shantel's eyes flared up in anger.“A little stain? Mina, are you fucking with me!”“Okay. Forgive me. Let's go to a mall or something. Okay? The waitress has apologized. We should leave unless you want to miss your flight to France,” Minaj said suggestively. Shantel
