Chapter 93: Chapter 93
Ariana had her eyes stuck on Brian. He was clearly confused yet didn't say anything. Brian wanted to avoid this dare but that was too impolite since they had many people, watching over them. As an Alpha of future packs, he couldn't act recklessly.
Just a kiss!
He thought it was as simple as that without feeling Ariana's presence nearby. When he straightened his spine to sit properly, everyone screamed in anticipation. Ariana held her breath into her lungs, waiting numbly as her mate prepared himself to kiss his soon-to-be wife.
Brian lifted himself up slightly, bent over at Silvia to kiss on her lips slightly.
"Bang!"
A loud shattering noise was overpowered in the air as soon as they ended their brief kiss. Ariana was also startled, jumping back to see the broken tray. She was so absentminded that she didn't see the waiter coming.
" Sorry!", she stuttered her word in a broken voice and began to walk away hurriedly. She noticed that Brian had watched her obviously.
Brian's lips hung open in disbelief. At the same time, guilty feelings rushed over to his heart. He kept standing numbly at his place until Amy mocked the reckless move, done by Ariana,
" Just some village wretch! Anyways, let's start with our game, guys! "
Brian watched Ariana's flying back. Now that, his attention was focused on his mate, he felt the stung of pain through their mate bond. Brian couldn't wait anymore and excused himself from there,
" I will be back guys!"
Meanwhile, Ariana had no idea that Brian was following her. She thought that he would stay with Silvia there even after finding her existence in this bar. She ran out crying and felt nauseous at this least expected time. It was difficult to say whether it was the smell of alcohol or her emotions that were giving her the urge to throw up.
She came out of those noises to hop up into her car when Brian's voice stopped her,
" Ariana...Wait... please.."
She wanted to run away but Brian was faster in his Alpha steps. Pain shot through his heart when he found her crying, tears sticking against her pale cheeks. Brian tried to resonate in a pleading voice,
" Ariana..It was a misunderstanding.. just a game.. listen to me... "
SLAP!
The unexpected slap fell on his cheeks, stuck his words midway inside his throat. Tears poured from her eyes relentlessly as she blurted her words out painfully,
" I trusted you!"
Brian couldn't say anything, bit his lips too hard. He thought that it was going to be resolved soon but he was totally wrong. He hurt his mate repeatedly. Ariana opened her lips to spat something more but the sudden nauseous hit her hard. With a painful growl, she staggered few steps backwards and vomitted on the other side.
Brian forgot about the slap instantly. He approached her despite her hatred for him and kept asking with concern,
" Ariana.. What's wrong with you? Should I take you to the healer, Ariana?"
Ariana pushed his hands off from her body and wiped her mouth to glare at him. Brian stepped back abruptly and wondered why was she throwing up all of sudden. His gaze froze when a thought came across his mind. His lips trembled together in mixed feelings, asking Ariana in a low voice,
" Can it be.. you are pregnant?"
More tears slide from her cheeks. She wanted to give him this happy news for long time but he had known this at a time when their relationship was nearly over. Ariana composed herself after throwing up, turned around to speak loudly at Brian,
" None of your business!"
Brian jumped forward to squeeze her arms tightly, asking eagerly in an impatient voice,
" How can't it be? Are you really pregnant? Ariana..Damn it..just say something.."
Unfortunately, Ariana had nothing to say after what she saw with her own eyes. She got the fact correct. Brian preferred his Alpha status over everything even her pain, affection didn't matter to him anymore.
Without giving him any answer, Ariana pushed his hands away, shouted the most unexpected words in Brian's life,
" You want to become the pack Alpha without any obstacles like me, right? I will free you forever from this bond. I, Ariana Marshall, reject you as my mate, Brian Rogers. It's over between us!"
Ariana didn't even look at him after she spat those words and jumped into the car before starting the engine. Behind, Brian kept breathing hard. The pain of breaking a bond cut through his heart so deeply that he could barely breathe. He kept chanting, blaming himself consecutively,
How can you do this to me, Ariana? How... Please..I am sorry...I am so sorry..
But nothing could change the truth that they weren't mates anymore. For the first time in years, Brian cried his heart out, howling in pain of losing the love of his life.

" No, we are inviting the councilmen! It's not a big deal!", Viona shouted at the pack's meeting table to hear an annoying growl coming from Damien. The other members watched the Alpha and Luna in bewilderment. For the first time in a pack, they both had different opinions.
The blood moon eve had only one day left to be celebrated in their pack house. Invitations had been sent to neighborhood packs although they weren't sure whether they would come or not. Practically, they were a rogue pack now, abandoned by other packs because of councilmen's restrictions. But it was their duty to send invitations.
Their argument heated up when Viona suggested to invite the councilmen too. But Damien was opposing it strongly. He wasn't ready to fix their relationship with councilmen. But Viona had different thoughts. As pack's Luna, she wished that their pack would live happily ever after in their werewolf community. This Celebration was their best opportunity to reunite their bond.
Damien raised his hands in the air, scoffing in an angry voice,
" I won't call those people who don't respect me, my luna or my pack!"
Viona suggested, glaring hard at Damien,
" They are needed in our pack's life. Please, Alpha! Think about this! They might act forgiven now."
Damien raised his voice, slamming his fist in front of Viona,
" I am the Alpha. I will say whatever I wish!"
Hurt reflected on Viona's eyes. For the first time, Damien had insulted her in front of other pack members. She swallowed hard, muttered after getting up from the chair,
" Do whatever you wish!"
After that, she strode upstairs to lock herself inside the room. Celeb and other important members remained stiff in this tense atmosphere. After a short silence, Celeb finally gave his opinion too,
" We also agree with Luna, actually! A pack can't lead alone, Alpha. You should at least invite them. Being arrogant wouldn't solve our pack crisis. We are already getting tired after working hard."
Damien thought through this matters deeply. Indeed, his pack members were never off duty either working, protecting or patrolling always around. Letting out a long sigh, Damien left the table before ordering,
" Send Invitations to all those councilmen's houses."

The door was jarred open loudly. Viona pretended to sleep but she knew that Damien could see through her lies. His chiseled body soon wrapped her from back, forcing her to squirm under his touch.
Viona growled furiously,
" Let go of me!"
She was mad at him. She never said anything without thinking of the consequences. Yet, he decided to turn down her reputation in front of others.
Damien bit her ears hard, causing her to moan passionately,
" You kept disobeying me instead of convincing me. You should be punished too, Luna. Now, get up and get on your four."
He ended his command with a slap on her ass cheeks. Viona let out a startled moan but refused to obey his order. She kept tasting his patience, wiggling her ass against his hardness on purpose,
" Why should I? You never listen to me!"
Damien let out a low snarl, hissed gripping her ass harshly,
" I have sent the invitations already. If you keep moving your ass, I will fuck your butt hole today. Now, get up and kneel!"
A smile soon spread across her face when she heard that he sent those invitations. Sitting up from the bed, she began to strip on herself under his lustful eyes.
Clothes off, Damien followed her by taking his clothes off too and watching her, getting on her knees to give him her naked back. Damien smirked, crawling up on the bed to press against her back. His hand went down to rub her sex, growled after her liquid coated his fingers,
" So fucking wet!"
Viona bit her lips in excitement and spat dirty words to incite him more,
" For you, Alpha! Take me rough! I like it when you hit my womb!"
Damien growled into her ears, yanked her hair back to claim her lips, his dick getting hardened slowly. He groaned between kisses, the other hand rubbing her clitoris,
" Your wish is my command, Luna! I will fuck you so hard until you learn to obey me without argument. But first..."
Damien paused abruptly, licking their mark to hear her moans. She was dripping too much in his fingers.
Fuck! He was so hard already!
Viona kept getting impatient for her arousal. He was delaying so much that she nearly wanted to jump on him to ride his dick. Damien licked and sucked her skin to growl a question into her ears that took her ears,
" You aren't hiding anything from me, are you, my temptress Luna?"
