Arianna's POV
My screams and shouts, I wasn't sure, left the dungeon because no one came. I cried till the guards finally came to pull me out of the dungeon. It was time. I didn't struggle nor did I cry anymore. I was going to die whether I cried or not.
The entire pack had come to gather, in the same place where I was mated just a night ago, I was going to be executed. I watched how people spoke angrily, cursing and swearing at me for killing their Alpha. I wanted to tell them that I didn't do any of those things I was being accused of, but as Nicole had said, no one would believe me.
How do I tell the pack that their Alpha had killed his own brother for power? Who would believe me? Instead, that would be added to my crime.
I am already a murderer and a cheater in their eyes. I am a criminal, and there was nothing I could say right now that would vindicate me.
My eyes made their way to Lucas and Nicole, I could clearly see the devilish smirk on their lips as they watched me being tied and pushed to my knees.
I dared to silence the words of the crowd as they were saying hurtful words. But no matter how hurting their words were to me, it was never compared to the pain of seeing my sister and my mate plotting my death together. The tears in my eyes were finished, but the pain remained.
With clenched fists, clenched jaws, and eyes teary, I said to the moon goddess,
“Avenge my death. Cause the Dark Wand Park will never have peace until the truth is out. Avenge the death of Alpha Brian and I, moon goddess, this is my last and humble request”
My head was pushed to the wood, my eyes remained on Alpha Lucas and Nicole. I could see with my side eyes as the sharp axe was raised up by a giant man behind me. Breathing out like it was my last breath, I closed my eyes when I saw the axe coming down to my neck.
“Mate!” I whispered.
“What?!?” Both Lucas and I said it at the same time.
My eyes widened as I looked around myself. No way!
I looked down at myself, no scratch on my body, then I touched my head, it was in place. The scene before me looked familiar, I had seen it before.
Bloody hell! I exclaimed mentally when I saw what was happening. Did time just rewind for my sake, or is this a dream? I wondered.
Then I felt this cool breeze caress me, causing me to shiver in a delightful way. I felt the sweet presence and I just couldn't help but feel it was the moon goddess. A calm voice whispers,
“Here's your chance. Use it wisely”
My eyes closed as tears gathered in them. I never believed that this was the plan of the moon goddess. She did me good, she did me too good, and I will forever be eternally grateful.
Opening my burning angry eyes, I looked at Lucas who said,
“Mate?”
Looking at his face now, I could see that it wasn't a sweet smile I thought it was, but a disgusting one. He was never smiling at me, he was disgusted by me.
“Wow, one of the Alpha brothers got mated. The other seems to still be waiting” someone in the crowd said and I smirked. Of course, Alpha Brian was still alive.
The moon goddess had decided to bring both of us back to life. I will make sure to really use this opportunity very well.
“My mate,” Lucas smiled, a very pretentious smile. How come I didn't see all these before? How could I not have seen it? I raised my brows at him, waiting for him to come and announce to the public that I was his mate and Luna. And he did. He held my hand and raised it,
“My mate, my Luna!”
“I refuse!” I replied loudly for everyone to hear. The crowd gasped in shock. No one dares reject the Alpha. The smirk remained on my face as I watched the man turn to me with narrowed eyes.
“What?” He asked in a deadly manner, I fear no one except the moon goddess.
“I refuse!” I spat out loudly again. Nicole had made me understand how irritating, annoying, and hurtful to the Alpha's ego to refuse him. More reason I did it this way. And this was only the beginning.
My eyes searched for my sister, who had a deep frown on her face. Ah, have your man. Let the dark hearts pair with one another, I don't give a fuck.
Lucas opened his mouth to speak, but before his words could come out of his mouth, I walked away from him and headed straight to where Alpha Brian stood as he watched us.
“Can I be your mate and Luna?” I asked him, and he narrowed his eyes on me. I could see he found the scenario funny and annoying at the same time. Something in me quickly snapped telling me that he was about to reject me, so I said to him in a whisper,
“Trust me, you won't want to reject me. I know how to make you the next Alpha of Dark Wand pack. All that you need to get to that throne, I can give it to you. All you need to do is accept me publicly as your mate and Luna. It will also be a great way to publicly crush your brother's ego”
He looked at me like I had grown two heads, and I smiled sweetly at him. It wasn't fake like Lucas's own, but a real genuine smile because I was happy that he was alive. This was the same Alpha that had died in my hands.
I closed my eyes and opened them again, the pain and tears replaced with fire in those eyes as I prayed he would accept my offer.
Alpha Brian, in front of everyone, raised my right hand up as he announced loudly,
“My mate, my Luna!"
Silence enveloped the place, but I didn't care, I smiled at him as I mouthed a thank you, but he scoffed as he said in a low voice,
“Let's see how you can get me the throne”
ARIANA'S POV I faked a smile as a crowd, whose eyes were still fixed on me and Brian. Afterwards, he put down my heart, and my eyes went to Lucas again, and I could totally see anger pulsing through his veins. "This is just the beginning. I will make sure you pay for what you did to me and Brian. I'm never going to spare you because you really don't deserve it," I murmured under my breath as I finally turned my glances from him. I finally left the spot to join the little party going on, with Brian who was beside me. And I figured it was time for me to tell him about Lucas' next plans. "You better start telling me how you intend to secure me the throne," Brian turned to me, noticing we were the only ones there at the table while others were busy doing their business. "First, let me start by telling you what is going to happen tonight." I took up a glass of wine from the table, and took just a sip to soothe my throat before putting it back. "I'm still waiting for you to say somethi
ARIANA'S POV I already knew Lucas' plans, so I quickly took some warriors from the Pack house. When Brian left my side earlier, I quickly stopped drinking as I could remember how drunk I was in my former life and what happened because of my drunkenness. So I really had to prevent myself from getting drunk again so that I don't make one mistake twice. I tried to get the warriors to come with me as I could remember the spot where Brian was attacked from my vision. Without wasting much time, we rushed over there, and just as I predicted, Lucas was holding a silver dagger which he was about to use to stab Brian. Brian looked so frightened, his eyes were also shut tightly, and I guess he was already waiting to be killed. "Don't you dare do that, don't use that dagger on him," I screamed, making Lucas stop in his tracks and turn around only to see me standing there with the warriors, who rushed over to them immediately and fought off the men who had held Brian. Releasing him in the proc
"It's my choice. I'm not really interested in being a mate to Lucas, and totally into Brian, so that's why I did what I did," I responded to her questions, even though I knew within me that none of the things I just said were true. But I hoped it was convincing enough for her. "Do you know Brian before now, or have you been having an affair with him secretly that I don't know of?" Nicole asked me, and I smiled immediately as I stared at her. It was so obvious she was thinking that way because that's what she was doing all this while - having an affair with Lucas even though she knew she wasn't his fated mate. But I'm nothing like her and I'm never going to be like her. Honestly, I wished I could just confront her right away and tell her I know how she was sleeping around with Lucas, but I stopped myself before I could say anything. "I'm not the kind of person that has sex with any random man, but I have always admired him, so that's why I chose him instead of Lucas," I finally spok
I watched her leave my bedroom and once she was out of my bedroom I took a deep breath, as I poured out some wine into my glass and zipped it down my throat immediately.I think I will really need to get to work immediately, since she had talked about a new house. Just like she said, Lucas isn't going to be slow in planning how he was going to get rid of me, so I have to also be prepared to defend myself as well.I sighed softly as I got up on my feet. I was so ready to start my search for a new place. We really need to leave the Pack house as Soon as possible, because as long as we are there, we can't start our training without Lucas knowing about it, because he also lives in the pack house too.So I really need everything to be hidden from him, because that's the only way we can really outsmart him. I sighed softly as I finally walked out of the bedroom.I took two guards whom I trusted so much with me, as I left in search of a house. "Do you have any idea about a good place with e
"Let the way then." I told him, and he immediately got in front.Once I saw the house he was talking about, honestly I was impressed, and without taking much time, I made payment, and we soon moved in.Ariana really liked it and she was really so happy when we finally left the Pack house."So now that we are out of the Pack house, what is your next agenda?" I asked Ariana as we both sat together in the sitting room."We are to begin our training session immediately, we can afford to delay it." She finally responded to my questions, and I sighed softly."So when do we begin with the training?" I asked again, and she told me it would be the following day, which I totally agreed to.I later left her and went into my bedroom after having dinner. I started getting some things I knew we were going to need for the training.I really can't joke with anything she has told me, so I believe the fact that she had told me that our training session will begin the following day, I have to get everyt
"Come on, I have already apologised, I thought you have forgiven me." I said, moving closer to him, as I tried to hold his hand."I have actually forgiven you, but I really don't want to go back to that." He told me, and I just sighed softly."But why not?" I asked him, while fixing my glance on him."Nothing," he responded casually, and I kept persuading him to tell me again, but he kept saying he won't go back."Okay then, I guess you are still angry at me that's why you do want to tell me again, but believe me I'm really so sorry about it, and I wished you could understand me." I told him as I put my two palms together hoping it would touch his heart and make him have a rethink. As I popped out my eyes in a little puppy style."That doesn't suit you, you have to stop it." He smiled for once, and honestly I felt good."I'm not going to stop until you finally forgive me and tell me what I need to hear.""The truth is, I can't even remember what I was telling you before." He laughed c
It's really so hard to choose, but I have to. I thought as I continued staring at myself in the mirror now. "What do I do now?" This question popped into my head, as I frowned remembering the two choices I was given by my wolf."Why was I ever given these abilities?" I asked no one in particular as I frowned at myself in the mirror."If you weren't given these abilities you would have been dead by now, have you forgotten so soon." My wolf reappeared, answering my questions."I haven't forgotten, but it's just so hard for me to think of using it this way, please can you give me another option?" I tried to plead with my wolf for another option, as I really didn't want to embark on any of the two options she gave me before now."There is no other choice Ariana, that's the only two options you have." She told me, And I sighed softly but wasn't really to give up so I kept persuading her to think of another choice and give to me since I wasn't really ready to do any of the choices she gave
"Allow him rest for a while and please make sure no one comes in to disturb him, including you too, he really needs the rest." I spoke up, and she nodded, before I started making my way out."Ma'am wait up, you promised to explain how you know about my son?" I heard the lady's voice behind me, as I walked on, but I really didn't want to stop on my track, but she kept coming behind me, and soon caught up with me."I saw him in my vision, so I decided to come and save him." I told her, and she widened her eyes in disbelief, making me stare at her as I wondered what was in her mind."Did I say something wrong?" I asked as she continued staring at me without saying a word."No.. no you didn't." She stuttered, as she covered her face with her palms, while I just kept calm and stared on. I was hoping she would tell me why she was surprised when I told her I saw her son in my vision, but I hope she won't try to mock me."I just didn't know that such people with special abilities still existe
