Malcolm Ariana Novels & Stories

“I do not make mistakes, and judging by your fumbled expression, I take it that you are well aware who I am, Alpha Dean.” “As for Arianna being an only child, then you are very wrong. Alpha Malakai De Mori, son of Mariana and the late Alpha Lorenzo De Mori has taken his rightful position as true Alpha. Your mate has been sentenced to an excommunicado by the order of the elders.” He said, and I glared at the man who smirked.

The men behind him murmured in agreement, their gazes fixed on me. Harlon continued, “We carry the weight of the merchant's fortunes on our backs. Without us, their wealth would dry up. Yet every time, we’re dismissed, made to wait, to beg for what we’re owed.” His voice hardened slightly. “We don’t seek more than what is fair.” “Merchant Arven refuses to pay,” Harlon continued. “The other merchants, too, are not even paying half the amount. Just enough to feed their families.” His jaw clenched. “They still refused.”

The truth hit hard. Marcus hadn’t just rejected her. He had feared her. Something inside Ariana shifted. Pain turning into something else. Something sharper. Colder. “Is that why they came for me?” she asked. “Yes.” Ariana closed her eyes for a moment. Then opened them. And something in her had changed. She wasn’t just confused anymore. Not just hurt. She was angry. “What happens now?” she asked. Kael’s voice was calm. But final. “Now…”

April’s gentle questions. But Ryker's patience seemed to be wearing thin. He stepped forward, his voice arrogant and demanding. "What's wrong with her, Doctor? Why did she pass out?" Dr. April's expression remained calm and professional, but I detected a hint of fear in her voice. Ah, he had that effect on everybody, then. "Arianna is malnourished and dehydrated, Alpha. She also shows signs of physical abuse,” she quoted off her clipboard. I felt a surge of vulnerability, my emotions raw and exposed. Ryker's eyes seemed to bore into me, his gaze piercing. I felt like I was being stripped bare, my secrets and fears laid out for him to see.

He was about to step forward to attack Ariel, but Sean held him back with a hand gesture. “You blackmailed Atika and turned her into a tool to blackmail me right?!? You’re not smart enough at that, you tried to sneak your illegal drugs into my plane going to a refugee camp in Bangladesh, you chose to do dirty business because your reputation was lost to Ariana in the music industry, you have a disgusting lifestyle.” “SHUT UP STUPID-“

88 ANNALISE The air was charged with energy, and I could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on us. I stood before Marcus, my heart pounding in my chest. This was it. I had to make this choice—not just for myself, but for everyone who had suffered under his cruel rule. “Marcus Blackwood,” I began, my voice steady despite the fear bubbling inside me. “You have brought chaos and destruction to this realm. Your actions have hurt so many, and now, you will face the consequences.”

Aiden's father asked his mother. "Yes, if you do." They may love each other or care for each other, but she was still a breeder and so still referred to her owner for everything. "Okay, what would you like to know Luna Kate?" "Your names would be a nice start." I joked. "I am so sorry." Alpha Reed said. "Bad Manners. This is Delta Squad Leader, Harry Tim, his breeder, Malia and their son, Aiden." "Thank you for talking to me. When did you buy Malia.

I screamed at him. The yelling made him turn to me. "What's wrong Aria?" He asked running to me and holding me. I just couldn't hold anything back. Not any more. The more I tried, the more it hurt. "I'm sorry." I said dropping to the ground amidst sobs. He dropped with me not letting go. "Sorry for what?" "For everything." "What do you mean Aria?" He asked. "Malcolm..." I said amidst tears. "He's alive."

Finally, she took a deep breath before saying, "I’m going to find out more. But I won’t do it alone." Leonard eyed her warily. "What do you mean?" Ariana met his gaze with determination. "I need someone who can dig for information without being noticed. Someone who can make sure whether Nathaniel was truly framed or just trying to save himself." Leonard frowned. "Do you have someone in mind?" Ariana nodded. "Mason." *** Mason was a private investigator who had worked for Ariana’s family in the past. He was known for uncovering the truth, no matter how deeply buried it was.

Alexander pov “Arianna's fate is already sealed. She’s already dead in the eyes of the world, Kael. You’ve broken her in ways I can’t even begin to understand. And yet, you still treat her like some pawn in your game. It’s sick. It’s beneath you. You’re a man with power, with options, and yet you’ve chosen this. You’ve chosen to twist her, break her, and push her to the edge of sanity."
