After Ariana was taken to the car, the man used a cloth to cover her nose and she passed out.
Barbie, Mia, Ava and Dave were in a deserted house in the middle of a little forest when Ariana’s unconscious body was brought inside.
Dave began to feel pity seeing her. “Be merciless, she rejected your proposal in front of your friends” His wolf advised.
Barbie smirked as she saw her body. “Next time, you’ll never mess with me” Barbie thought with a grin as she sipped her wine.
“Where is her phone?” Barbie demanded.
“They could track it with the phone before we got her so I threw it in a different road” Ray, the ex-convict replied.
“Let’s move to business now” Dave suggested, staring at Ariana lustfully.
“Not yet, I haven’t done the real jobs, Ray, send a picture and detailed message to this number and send another message without a picture to the second” Barbie said, handing a paper to Ray.
“If we would do anything, she must be awake. She’ll be fully aware of every part” Mia said and Dave slumped to a chair.
“They’re trying to track the number but I keep blocking them” Ray declared and the three girls laughed.
“I knew he would be competent that’s why I advised we use him” Ava praised.
“How long would it take before she wakes up?” Mia demanded.
“About 30 minutes more” Ray replied and they groaned.
After 30 minutes.
Ariana opened her eyes slowly as she stared at her surrounding, confused and slowly realisation hit her. “Ahh!”. She yelled when a torch was pointed at her eyes in the darkness.
“She’s awake, switch on the lights” She heard and the light came on. She was shocked to see her captors.
“Dave please” She pleaded, trying to break free from the rope they used in tying her leg and hand.
“Shut up! Whore” Mia shushed, slapping her face and she let out a gasp, as it stung her face.
“A little warning before other things, I don’t ever want to see you with Austin, anywhere near the school or his house. Okay?” Barbie warned and Ariana stared at her blankly.
“You answer me when I talk to you!” Barbie yelled, holding Ariana’s hair as Ariana cried in pain.
“Go get the camera ready. It’s time to have some fun” Barbie instructed and Ray brought out a camera and set it on the stand.
“I want my face to be blurry” Dave said and Ray nodded.
“No, please don’t do this Dave!” Ariana pleaded and began moving back.
“Please shut up, I gave you a chance to be my girlfriend but you declined now I’ll see if Austin would rescue you or forgive you after seeing the video” Dave replied coldly and she sobbed.
“Austin, where are you? You promised you’d never let anyone hurt me” Ariana let out, tears pouring out of her eyes as her face turned red.
Barbie laughed. “This would be very funny, take the camera back” Barbie ordered and Dave groaned but she paid no attention.
Ariana heaved a sigh as Barbie brought out her phone and began videoing Ariana. “For each wrong you’ve done, you’ll get a slap” Mia let out and Barbie squealed.
“This is for making Austin suspend me and for making me go through lots of troubles” Barbie muttered and slapped Ariana twice, each stinging more than the first.
Mia and Ava took turns in slapping her and her face swelled and turned bright red, there was a cut on my lip. “This is too much, what did I ever do to deserve this?” Ariana questioned within as she sobbed silently.
“Dave, now you have your chance” Barbie declared, patting his shoulders as he licked his lips.
“I need to have her hands tied to the two poles and her leg apart” Dave instructed and Mia tied held her leg, she struggled and wriggled as Mia held her but got slaps from Ava which wore her down and Mia tied her to the poles.
“Wait! What’s that thing gleaming?” Ava inquired, looking at the necklace on her neck.
“This is weird, I’ve seen it a few times, a see it for a day and for a very long time, I won’t see it” Ariana thought.
The necklace was glowing with a big green spot, it looks like an eye. “Not the vampire eye” Ava gasped and dragged it off Ariana’s neck.
Austin walked inside, sniffing. His eyes became dark when he saw Ariana tied to the wall. The way Ava removed the necklace made Ariana scream, she felt like her neck was being sliced and suddenly her screams revolted around the room, a heavy wind blew them away, leaving Austin who was trying to maintain his balance.
The ropes cut like wax, she felt something alive within her as a force lifted her and her hands began to change, her fingers shoot out, bringing out long, sharp claws.
Her eye changed to blue, and her hair spread out, flowing as the wind graced her body. Her body became longer, light and lethal. “What is happening to me?” She thought as her hair turned black and she landed on the ground lightly.
Auatin ran to her, sniffing as he held her to himself. She wondered why he was sniffing and hugging her tightly.
“Why would he hug me after seeing me this way” She wondered. She gazed at Brooklyn who had a different look, one of hatred, hurt and shock, masked into a cold face.
She felt a sharp bite on her neck, and a feeling of power be in zapped out of her. She felt relieved after some seconds and she turned to see the scariest and most ugly beast ever.
He was exactly like the man from her dream. She opened her mouth agape and stepped back with fear and panic. “Come with me let’s rule the world” He said, stretching out his dark green hand.
“Why?” She wondered and something within her told her to accept him.
“Go and fulfil your destiny” A voice said to her.
“I didn’t speak out. How can it hear and reply?” She thought with surprise.
“No, I’m not going with you” Ariana replied, shaking her head as Jayden stood in front of her.
“Haha. You would regret your actions someday. I’ll be back for you” Dracula said loudly and disappeared.
Austin held her hand and teleported her home, but she didn’t fail to look at Brooklyn who was still frozen and Barbie who had a look of fear and shock.
“Ahh! Monster! Don’t kill me” Charlotte shouted with fear and passed out. Ariana’s countenance changed, she couldn’t imagine living her life this way. She felt pained and horrible, why was she a monster. With tears rolling down her cheek she racked her brain for reasonable answers to why she was this way but couldn’t find any.
“It’s Ariana” Austim said to Donald who was holding Charlotte, though he was surprised.
“What happened to her?” Donald questioned, observing her closely.
“She’s a demon, she was trapped but Ava removed something from her and she became free” Austin briefed as they sat down.
“Ava? How did you find her?”
“Dave, Ava, Barbie and Mia had kidnapped her, I was about to perform the rites when a force began to pull me and a strong scent filled my nostril, I followed it and that’s how I saw her” Austin explained.
“How would I change to my old form? Is this how I’ll be forever? I look so hideous I wish the ground could swallow me now” Ariana mourned, choking on a sob.
“No, don’t have such wishes, you look beautiful this way. How to matter what form you take, you’ll always be beautiful to me” Austin comforted her, holding her face as his lips touched hers. His tongue parted her lips as he kissed her gently, passionately expressing his words.
She vibrated at his touch and her body felt hungry for his touch, she wanted him to take her to the peak of pleasure. He broke the kiss and reluctantly she sighed.
Brooklyn teleported home angrily. “Congratulations, we’ve won already” Dracula in his demon form laughed as Ava sat on his lap.
“Does this feel like winning to you?. She’s Austin’s mate, it’ll make him powerful”. Brooklyn reminded.
“That’s little, my armies would take care of him” Dracula responded.
“No, I want Ariana to be mine, she’s the first girl I’ve liked after Nicole died. I’m in love with my brother’s mate, my heart does strange things when with her” Brooklyn explained, sitting down as he ran his hand through his hair.
“Sorry about that, just move on” Ava consoled and he held her neck, taking her to the wall as she winced with pain.
“S… to.. p, y… o.. u..’re… hur.. tin.. g.. me” Ava choked with tears running out of her eyes.
“Let her be. Austin is the one who you need to vent your anger on”
“Austin collected my birthright, my title, my company, my first love and now my second. I’ll never let you get away with this. You would regret this” Brooklyn said, veins popping out of his hand, he dropped Ava roughly.
“I’ll still come for you for kidnapping Ariana” He said and walked away angrily as Ava coughed violently.
“Now we’ll start bringing the most powerful forces from the underground world” Dracula muttered, smiling to himself.
The court members were feeling nervous as they waited for Austin. It was late already but they insisted on having the meeting.
“Was it the demon you saw or your mate?” Harry asked immediately after Austin entered.
“My mate”.
“Can we find another day for the rites?”
“No, I can’t explain why but I don’t think Zeus wants us to find her” The shaman said Zeus was regarded as their maker.
”Who’s your mate? If she’s a wolf whose daughter is she?” Carlos quizzed.
“Not your daughter” Austin replied and left while Carlos fumed.
He got home and saw Charlotte touching Ariana’s face, Donald must have explained to her.
“Please can I see your wolf form?” She requested with puppy eyes and I sauntered into my wolf form and she gasped.
“Wow, you’re cute and your eyes are gleaming. Why do you have two colours and why are you so big?” Charlotte bombarded me with questions, as she moved close to me, wanting to touch my fur and I growled at her.
“He doesn’t like being touched” Donald cautioned and Charlotte retreated and I shifted back.
I stared at Ariana. Today’s stress was more than enough, how would I tell her she’s destined to be my mate and the court members would use her as a sacrifice to forever cement the portal from the underground world that leads to Earth?. It’s all messed up. With a sigh, I went upstairs.
“Won’t you eat?” Charlotte asked.
“No”
Ariana didn’t understand why she felt so attracted to him, she smelled his scent everywhere and she wished she could sleep beside him.
“Stop being dreamy” Charlotte teased and Ariana blushed as they both retired to bed.
Ariana went to the kitchen to make breakfast. “Who’s my prom date?” She asked herself and laughed.
“What’s funny?” Auatin asked, going to make coffee.
“Good morning sir, I was just thinking about prom” She replied, he nodded and left.
Charlotte came down, grumbling for food and Ariana laughed. “Where’s Travis and Taylor?” Ariana questioned.
“I sent them back home, they’re too troublesome”
“I’m making French fries and chicken burgers” Ariana informed and Charlotte sniffed then smiled.
“Would you help set the table while I dish out the food?” She pleaded and Charlotte left happily.
She took the food to the dining and called everyone downstairs for breakfast.
Donald was the last to come and he keep grumbling about how he and Charlotte slept in the same room.
“Who’s your prom date?” Charlotte asked Donald and he choked on his food.
“Damn, Shantel asked me to be her date” Donald thought.
“Shantel” He muttered.
Charlotte’s face dropped but she didn’t let anyone notice.
“What about you Austin” She asked boldly.
“I don’t attend parties”
“You’re so boring and uncool. Don’t understand what Ariana likes about your cold-ass” Charlotte blurted boldly and Ariana stared at her with shock.
“Dude, she doesn’t know what she’s saying, it’s the pregnancy hormones” Donald apologized.
“It’s cool, she’s saying the truth” Austin replied with a shrug and Donald stared at him.
When they finished eating, Austin volunteered to do the dishes with Ariana making everyone shocked.
They went to the kitchen and he stared at her as she washed the plates. “Who in the world would ever think she’s my mate?” Austin wondered.
“Who’s your mate?” She questioned, listening to his thoughts.
“You can hear what I’m thinking?”
“Yea, I think I can hear everybody’s own too” Ariana responded with a grin and Austin made a mental note to reduce his thoughts when around her.
“What do you wanna do today?”
“You mean what do I want to do with you?. Nothing for now” Ariana teased, wrapping her wet hands around his neck he put his hand on her waist and she gasped.
“I’m still your boss and can punish you for your words”
“Yes you are but I still have the freedom to read your thoughts” Ariana responded, giggling.
“Today is prom, I’m not asking you to be my date but don’t go there without a date” Austin whispered huskily and left.
Ariana was surprised. “What had changed?. Before I couldn’t talk to him but now he’s more cheerful. Wait! Did he ask me to be his prom date?. “Don’t go without a date. What does that mean, he knows if I wanted to go on a date, he’s the only option because I have no friends” Ariana thought as her tummy flipped with excitement.
Excitedly, she went to Charlotte’s room, she saw Charlotte downcast and dejected. “What’s wrong?”
“Donald would attend prom with Shantel but I’m not allowed because of my baby bump” Charlotte sulked, putting her head on Ariana’s shoulder.
“It’s alright, you would go no matter what. I still have Austin’s credit card, we’ll go shopping” Ariana comforted.
“Let’s leave now” Charlotte said beaming with a smile.
Ariana went to her room and got dressed, she searched for her old cloth and removed Austin’s credit card, with a smile she took her purse and left her room.
“We’re going to the spa to spend some time since my baby bump would cause a commotion” Charlotte hissed at Donald as Austin tried not to laugh.
“If you’re in danger, just imagine the house, slice a finger through the air and you would teleport home or just try your best to call me though I’ve put a tracker on you already” Austin said with demonstration.
“Thanks, I’ll meet you at school. When we arrive I’ll text you” Ariana whispered and nibbled on his ear as he sucked some air. She walked out with Charlotte sticking her middle finger at Donald.
“What’s up with you and Ariana, you guys are acting all lovey-dovey” Donald teased, covering his face shyly.
“Nothing, why won’t you let Charlotte attend prom?”
“Nothing, so who’s your mate?. I mean it’s only when you find your mate that you get a strong scent and pull. Is Barbie your mate or Ava?” Donald questioned dramatically.
“Fine, it’s Ariana” Austin confessed and Donald burst into laughter.
“You’re lucky, you were already heading over heels for her. So your wish was granted” Donald lectured.
“And you you’re what?. You’ve always had eyes for Charlotte even when your dick chooses Shantel, your heart and head still chooses Charlotte, though I wonder if you won’t have a second child with Charlotte because restraining yourself is what you’re very terrible at” Austin taunted and ran off.
