Episode 19

...Arya Narrating...

When he leaves, Liana comes to my room.

"Arya? Are you in there?" She opens the door and sees me sitting on the bed.

"Liana."

"Hey, calm down, what happened? The alpha left here so angry." She comes up to me and sits beside me.

"You need to help me get out of here."

"I can't, there are guards outside."

"What?" He said that Vincent would stay here, I didn't think he would put guards on.

"Calm down, Arya."

"How do you want me to calm down if my parents knew? I don't even know what tragedy this would be."

"Your parents? Why tragedy?"

"It's complicated... I'm the youngest of three sisters, I'm old enough to have my wolf but she hasn't appeared yet, I'm an embarrassment to my pack, you don't know how hard that is. (Sigh) and then I recently found out that I was adopted, someone abandoned me to my own fate when I was just a baby."

"Arya, I'm so sorry."

"I grew up with a lot of love, of course nothing in life is perfect, but I've always been reckless, as my mother says, when I found out that I wasn't their daughter, I felt such rage, that's when I decided to come here, they would never approve, I didn't want any more problems, I came here looking for solutions and look at me, surrounded by guards, my parents always overprotected me, this situation wouldn't please them at all, second option of the alpha of the North, then I am the daughter of A..." I stop talking and start pacing, Liana comes up to me and hugs me.

"Oh Arya, I'm so sorry, so sorry."

"It's okay! It's not your fault; let's change the subject; tell me, where's Garden?"

"It's two days from here, if you had a wolf you'd get there in less than a day, why do you want to know?"

"I will go there with Damian, I will leave some things here, he will think that I will come back, but I don't intend to come back anymore, Liana."

"Are you crazy, he won't let you go that easy."

"I'll find a way, I just want to thank you for everything and forgive me for anything."

"There's nothing to forgive."

"Can you take care of Atlas for me? Until I come get him?"

"Atlas?"

"My horse!"

"Of course, I can."

We hug and she leaves, I take some things out of my backpack and take only what I need, I put on some lotion so they won't smell me, my cell phone rings and it's Lucio, I don't answer, but I send him a quick message.

📲 I can't talk right now, I'll be home soon, and don't worry, everything is fine. Kisses, I love you!

I send the message, put my phone on silent, leave it on the table and go to the window, I'm lost in my thoughts when Damian walks in.

"Let's go." He says and comes towards me.

"My bag is on the bed." I say and walk past him, down the stairs, the car door is already open, I get in and put on my seat belt, he's right behind me.

We were two hours into the road, the silence was embarrassing.

"What the hell." I say shaking my head.

"What's wrong?"

"Can we go back? I forgot my cell phone."

"Your phone isn't going anywhere, when we get back you'll see it again."

"Why are we going there?"

"We're going to see Morgana, she's the oldest witch in Garden, no one knows for sure how old she is or how long she's been here..."

"And?"

"She will help me with you, when your wolf appears I will mark you and you will mark me, and then we will be one."

"What about the princess?"

"Screw it, I want you Arya, I'm not going to get caught up in an expectation when I'm living something real with you."

"If you mark me and she appears I won't be able to take it, a broken bond hurts more than anything, I won't be able to bear losing you, rejection is the same as death and besides, you know we don't last long when we are banished."

"That's not going to happen!"

"You know what they say, don't you? About destined wolves? Even if they fight it, they will feel an attraction to each other immediately. Everything becomes more intense. The Moon Goddess sometimes plays tricks. I am your second chance mate. If you feel this close to me, imagine what you would feel close to Princess Selena. It would be much stronger. My mark on you would have no power when she returns. You will be attracted to her and abandon me without a second thought."

He slams on the brakes and looks at me.

"No matter what I say now, I know what I feel for you, I just want to get to Garden, bring your wolf, have you as my mate, then you can go with me, you will be by my side forever." He says and goes back to the road.

"Go where?"

"We will attack the South soon and I want you by my side."

"A mate will make you stronger."

"I don't want her as a mate because of that, I'm already the strongest, I just want you with me, what I feel for you is surreal and I see how unhappy you are for not having your wolf."

My voice caught in my throat, how could they attack again, I looked out the window thinking about what I would do, hearing Damian declare himself made me happy, but I couldn't help but feel sadness, my parents were in the South, how could I tell him that I am from there, how could I convince him not to attack.

But that wasn't all, and I wasn't prepared to hear what came next.

"Hey, don't worry, we'll free our prisoners and get Vincent's mate."

"Vincent's mate is there?" This is not possible,"I said to myself."

"Yes, he smelled her once, enough to drive him crazy, I know what he's going through."

"What do you mean only once?" I asked, waiting anxiously for an answer.

"She must be masking her scent just like us, something that impressed me, there aren't many wolves with that gift, we even tried to teach some but it didn't work out."

I remained silent, my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest, it can't be, it can't be, I kept repeating to myself, what would be the probability of that in a million coincidences, our family was the only one that could mask the smell in Sedam, Hellen was now married so Hanna would be Vincent's mate.

We were silent once again; I tried to focus on the road, we were hours into the road, I tried not to look worried but it was harder than it looked.

"What's bothering you?" Damian asked me.

"I'm tired, can we make a stop?"

"The next town is an hour away, we'll sleep there."

"Ok"

It had been about forty minutes when I felt a liquid running down my legs, no, no, I was talking to myself, I looked at Damian, his hands were gripping the steering wheel tightly, his teeth were clenched and his chest was rising and falling rapidly, I knew he was feeling it, I was in heat.

"You need to go faster." I said.

"What do you think I'm doing?" He growled and accelerated.

I grabbed my backpack and took the liquid from the bottle, I should have taken it yesterday, I was always very regulated, it always came down for me on the same date and I literally forgot about it, tomorrow I would be better but what would I do today, I squeezed my legs trying not to get carried away, but it was too late.

We stopped at the first hotel we saw, I tied a jacket around my waist and we went in, there were other wolves there and I knew they could smell me, they knew who Damian was so they didn't dare come near, we got a room, I saw how hard he was trying to control himself, as soon as the door closed, he advanced on me.

He ripped my dress off and I helped him get his clothes off, he put me on his lap, his member was throbbing, and I thought I couldn't be more attracted to him, well I was wrong, Lucio always gave me portions to avoid this and before I knew about the portions he would always stay in my room when my cycle started, it avoided a lot of things, but today would be different.

We caught each other in every corner of that room, he didn't want to leave me for a single second, even when he came, he wouldn't stop, I was exhausted, he had possessed me in every way possible and it was all wonderful, Bless took over a few times, he demanded much more from me, I didn't have my wolf and that put me at a disadvantage, they were two and I was one.

When he kissed me, I felt my breath hitch, I lay down and sighed, I was exhausted.

"I'm going to wash you."

"And let me rest."

"Forgive me if I overstepped the mark, Bless is crazy, we need your wolf or you won't be able to take it."

"I know, don't let him take over."

We both laughed.

"I'm going to help you and then I'm going for a run, if I stay here I'm going to want you again and again and again."

His eyes turned red just talking.

"You can go." I said because I knew he was struggling with his wolf for control.

And then he walked out unsuccessfully, I went to shower, after I cleaned myself I got dressed and lay down, passing out immediately.
