Arianna's POV
I woke up fully when I heard the groan of a person beside me. My eyes widened, was it Lucas? I pushed myself away a little to see who it was, only to find the other brother on my bed,
“Alpha Brian?” I asked. Fear gripped me, what was the other Alpha brother doing here in my room and on my bed? What if Lucas or someone else sees this?
I jumped out of bed ready to run and leave him there when I saw the look on his face. He looked weak and stressed, he was in pain, I could see it on his face, so I asked,
“What… what is wrong?”
He pushed the duvet that covered his body away, and my eyes widened.
Blood!
How?
Cold gripped me, and I began to tremble, as I had never seen this much blood in my entire life. My head was also banging from the too much drink I had taken last night but I ignored the pain.
Was he… he was hurt
“Al… Alpha…. Brian… are… are you…. Alright?”
“He… help” he forced himself to say.
Oh my goddess, what do I do in a situation like this? My mind wasn't thinking, I was scared to the point of tears. My cheeks were stained with tears as I wondered if it were a dream.
Looking down at myself, I could see that the blood had also stained my gown. He tried to reach for me, so I made my way to the bed before pulling his head to my thighs,
“You'll be alright,” I said as I tried to search for where he had gotten wounded. Where was he hurt?
“You're an alpha. A strong one, so stay with me”
His eyelids were closing, but I kept speaking to him to remain with me. I was trying to find the spot where he had the cut, so I could tie it and then go get help. He wouldn't even let me go, his grip on my gown was so tight that I couldn't help but start crying.
“Moon goddess, please…” I cried.
“You… should… you…” he was trying to say something, but he was stressing himself to speak
“Shhhh, you'll only get worn out if you keep trying to speak. I'll go get help” I was about to push myself off the bed when his hand that held my gown dropped.
“Al… Alpha Brian. Alpha Brian!” I called again but no response. In fear, I ran out of the room looking for Alpha Lucas. I didn't even know his room in the large pack house.
As I ran, tears continued to roll down my eyes. I hope he wasn't dead. I hope Alpha Brian wasn't dead? My eyes clouded with tears, I went from room to room, not caring if I barged into someone else's room.
My legs ran faster than they have ever been before, as I was searching, I was praying. I prayed so hard that Alpha Brian wasn't dead.
Questions filled my head, so many questions I really wanted to know the answer to. What was he doing in my room? How did he get in there? How did he get injured? Why didn't he go to the hospital instead of coming to lie on my bed?
If there was anyone who was allowed to come into my room and lay on it, it was Alpha Lucas, after all, he is my destined mate.
I pushed one of the doors open and immediately regretted it as I saw two people in a heated moment, having sex. I didn't hear their moans, not until I saw them.
“Sorry” With speed, I turned around and quickly apologized, backing them. Then, like lightning, I recalled the lady's face and my eyes widened. What?
Slowly, my legs began to move on their own accord. I really do not want to believe what I think I saw. I wasn't sure I should look again, but my legs moved on their own to face the two couples who were having sex.
My face immediately lost its color, turning extremely pale when I saw who they were.
Nicole, my older sister? Alpha Lucas?
“Nicole?” I called with a shaky breath. She had a pleasurable look on her face, ignoring me, her fingers dug into Alpha Lucas's hair. As for Alpha Lucas, he ignored me as well as he continued to fuck my sister in my presence.
Tears trim down my cheeks, more tears. Forgetting my reason for coming here in the first place, I watched my sister getting fucked by my mate, whom the moon goddess had given to me. He never really liked me?
As I watched, my heart broke, my body hurt, my fingers clenched into fists. My blood kept boiling, yet I couldn't do anything as I was more hurt than I wanted to fight. My world came crumbling, I couldn't believe it.
My legs remained frozen in the spot that when I wanted to go and fight, I couldn't. Even when I wanted to just leave, I still couldn't. Alpha Lucas groaned and Nicole's moan filled the room till they were done, and I could only stand there listening and watching with cold fingers and feet.
“You're still here” I heard Alpha Lucas say as he stepped down from the bed. He threw Nicole's dress to her while he picked his up and began to dress up.
“You…” I wanted to speak up, but no words came out. Nicole and I had come together for the mating ceremony, as she hadn't found her mate either. She wanted mine?
Was I dreaming?
“What's that?” Alpha Lucas asked, pointing at my gown. I looked down with teary eyes only to see the blood on my gown and remembered the reason I had been searching for Alpha Lucas.
My eyes went wide,
“Al…. Alpha… Alpha Brian…” I stuttered before turning on my heels and running back, searching for the room I had come out from earlier.
Behind me, I heard Alpha Lucas and Nicole's footsteps as well. When I got there, I pushed the door open, only to see the Alpha lying in my bed the same way I felt him.
I rushed over to where he lay,
“Alpha Brian! Alpha Brian!” I yelled and cried.
“Guards!” I heard Alpha Lucas called, and I turned to meet his eyes.
Arianna's POV“Guards!”In less than ten seconds, more than ten guards came into the room.“Seize her!” Lucas yelled, pointing at me. My eyes widened as I stuttered,“Alp… Alpha Lu—”“You killed my brother! And she is sleeping with my brother, she is cheating on me!”Tears began to roll down my cheeks as I tried to explain that I had not done any of what he was saying. I can't kill a person, I didn't even look twice at Alpha Brian.I don't know how he got into my room. Yes, I drank a lot last night, but I wouldn't kill anyone. I would never do that.“I didn't… I didn't, you have to believe me!” I cried as I saw the guards coming to me. They dragged me from the bed like I was an animal. Falling on the floor, they didn't care but continued to drag me.“I didn't do anything. I didn't, I woke up and saw him on my bed” I tried to explain, but Alpha Lucas shunned me by screaming,“She killed my brother!” I saw him rush to Alpha Brian as he cried,“Brian, get up. Get up, brother. Get up!” He
Arianna's POVI stood there in the dungeon staring at the high window as I watched the sun begin to go down. I have cried, begged, prayed, and cursed too. I have done all I could. No one was listening to me, no one cared if I died or not. I was nobody, just a weak omega.As I watched the sun go down, I fought back my tears, I was tired of crying. I had prayed to the moon goddess to save me. Something supernatural should happen, something unexplainable. So I stood here waiting for what would happen.“Well, if it's not my favorite sister” I heard Nicole as she made her way closer to the cell I was locked in.“Nicole” I spat coldly as I eyed her. She giggled as she fanned herself with her hand.“I'm flattered. I mean, did you hear how you called my name? Exactly how I had always wanted to hear it from you” she smiled. Her expression immediately switched as she hit the cell with her palms.“You think you could get mated to my Lucas?!? How dare you even think about it, Arianna? Lucas is mi
Arianna's POVMy 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 tie
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
