Arianna: I frowned as I opened my eyes in a strange room. A comfortable white duvet was draped over my body, and I couldn’t help but let out a low whimper as I caught his, my mate’s, scent. My heart raced against my ribcage, and I went to sit down, wanting to look for the man who felt close as my wolf wanted to shy back, clearly embarrassed of her mate. However, I was quick to frown when a person who looked like a doctor stopped me. “Ma’am, you need to rest,” the doctor said, looking at me and I frowned as I took sight of the Alpha sitting beside the bed. His eyes met mine and I could have sworn that I saw pain in them. “Your child is going to need you to get enough rest and less stress to grow.” “You can leave, Nikifor,” Alpha Dean said, looking at the doctor who nodded as he took a step back. The Alpha’s eyes were fixed on me, and I physically had to stop myself from squirming under his hard gaze. Hell, if looks could kill, I doubted that I would be alive right now. “She needs

Arianna: My heart raced against my ribcage as I saw the news. My father’s men were the ones sending the news reporters, wanting to cause a scene, and knowing that they never did that unless he was behind this worried me more than ever. “Pick up the fucking phone,” I said, glaring at the device, calling my father through the safe line. If he was here, then the last thing that I wanted was for him to find out about me being here. And the idea of him being here was frightening enough to begin with. “Dad, you can’t be killing innocent people right now. You got what you wanted,” I said, shaking my head as I glared at the phone before letting out a low growl as I realized that he wouldn’t answer. The man was either too busy or was avoiding my calls, either way, I knew that this was not going to end well. ‘’Fucking hell!” I snapped before throwing my phone on the wall, smashing it as I called and was ignored for the sixth time. I glared at the door for a second before looking around the

Arianna: I stared at my pack members for a second too long before shooting the first of them. My heart raced at the sight of his body dropping, and though I knew that all the men were surprised at my reaction. It wasn’t one that I was going to regret. If anything, I didn’t sign up to be a killer of innocent people, nor did I sign up to harm those who have done nothing wrong. Them being part of the pack was not their fault, and even if they were members by choice, those who were kids shouldn’t have been dragged into this. “Arianna, what are you doing?” Luca, one of the pack members asked. He was an omega, a friend of mine, and to see that he was part of this made my chest ache. The man knew that I had a soft spot for him. The two of us were more or less intimate, and the last thing that I would have expected was to see him here. What kind of monsters did I unleash? “I should be asking the same thing, Luca.” I said, shaking my head at him. “The last person that I expected to be part

Arianna: “Mama,” I called, walking around the empty house. The smell of cookies in the oven made my chest swell, it was something that mom always made for me when she wanted to give me a treat. Her presence always meant that there was food and dessert being cooked, and that was something that I loved. “Yes, baby girl?” She said, peeking her head from the kitchen’s door. I ran toward her and she smiled before lifting me in her arms. She was away with daddy for a few days, and I was at preschool when the two of them arrived. “You came!” I said, clapping my hands as I looked at her before she laughed and wrapped her arms around me. She kissed my cheeks, and purred as I giggled. “It seems to me that I have no place in that hug, do I?” Daddy said, making me squeal. Mom laughed and put me down before I ran to him. He was my hero, and though I didn’t know what it was that he did, I knew that he was always protecting the pack against those who wanted to hurt us. It was something that ma

Arianna: I glared at the door for a second too long before shaking my head, knowing that at this point, I wasn’t going to be able to do anything about it. I clenched my fists, trying to control my anger as I did before shaking my head as I took a deep and slow breath. Not only was I held against my will with a stupid cuff, but I was also going to be dragged to my enemy’s home. “You brought this upon yourself, Arianna.” I muttered to myself as I looked down at my stomach. “Why didn’t I take the stupid pill when I was supposed to? Hell, it would have saved me a whole fuss. Sexual active or not, why the fuck did you not take the pill, Arianna?” I shook my head at myself. I was getting angry with myself over something that I wouldn’t have predicted, but that was the main mistake that I had. I didn’t put different plans IF things went wrong, and it wasn’t me being pregnant that was wrong. It was the fact that I created a monster out of the man that I was supposed to call father. And
