The Blue Wolf
Chapter 21

Arabella’s Perspective:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arabella’s Perspective:

I didn’t look back at the Balcony where I knew Will was standing in shock looking at me.

As I started walking carelessly, I mind-linked Ryker asking him where he was at the moment and to pick me up. Ryker responded “Wait Ara how are you linking me? we’re not in the same pack.” I answered back “I’m a Blue Wolf, I can link anyone.”

Ryker replied “That’s f*****g awesome. Look, dude. Don’t get me wrong, I do wanna hang, but I don’t wanna be a wedge in your and Will’s relationship. I think it’s better if we hang tomorrow, you know like you said.” If only Will could see this side of Ryker, he’d understand he’s harmless. I said “Alright, but I might not be here tomorrow.” After that, I cut the link.

At this very moment, William linked me “Arabella, the minute I find you, wherever the hell you are. I’m not letting you out of my sight after that.” I laughed and linked back “Good luck with that. But shouldn’t you be focusing your attention on finding yourself someone new? Someone less of an embarrassment?.” Will said, “No you ruined that for me, you already marked me.”

I put a guard upon my mind after Will said that: I suddenly thought of Will with another woman, any other woman, I imagined him kissing someone else, it made my heart hurt. I took the guard off again, Will said “I’m dead serious, I’m keeping you by me at all times after this.”

Will doesn’t know Blue Wolves have the power to turn invisible if they want.

What? You’re wondering if there’s anything Blue Wolves can’t do? Yes, there is. They can’t resist falling in love with someone, which is what happened to me with Will.

William’s Perspective:

What the hell is she doing? Did last night really not mean anything to her? Every k**s? every time we held hands? Every time we gazed into each other’s eyes? If it weren’t for the damn council and their traditional rules and oh yes how could I forget? Their honor for dear Ryker, I’d reach into Ryker’s chest and yank out his heart. Even though I and Michael haven’t been able to find any proof against Ryker ever since I started being suspicious of him, all those years ago, much before I met Ara. My, I and my wolf just know there’s something up with Ryker.

Even years ago when he saved me and my family. Despite his selfless act, there was something creepy I felt. When the council was awarding him their Honour Award.

I remember I felt like it was wrong. Even though it was my pack he saved. I played the very thankful future Alpha with him back then, but now he was coming in between me and my Arabella. Now it was f*****g personal. I didn’t miss his little sly sentence “What could you possibly be afraid of?”

Why didn’t Ara understand? Before I left to go find Ara. I mind-linked the entire situation that happened to Michael, Sami, and Sophie but told Sophie not to tell mom or dad anything, they’d just say I was being overdramatic. Sophie said “I think Ara’s hilarious. Finally, someone to bother you.” Thanks, Sophie.

I was walking somewhere in the woods at the moment and I suddenly smelled Jasmine. My Ara’s scent. As I tried to track the scent, I thought about why the f**k did he have to show up anyways? We would have had such a perfect morning after our near-perfect night.

I tracked the scent and when I got near a certain tree I thought I’d see her sitting behind it, reading or something. To my surprise, her scent was very strong there but no one was there. I started walking away, but then all of a sudden, I heard Arabella’s distinctive laugh. I looked back and still nothing. I realized I must be going crazy until I heard Arabella’s voice say “No no I’m cheating now. You caught me. You caught me. Wow, your nose is insane though.”

I looked around me, on my guard now, confused and a little freaked out but then I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and I whipped around. She was standing there in just her runners, underwear, and my shirt.

I said, “Wait where were you ?” She laughed and hit my shoulder and said “I can go invisible. Wanna see?” I nodded my head. Poof, she vanished, then she reappeared, then vanished again, then re-appeared. I said “Ok stop. You’re giving me a headache.” She stopped, frowned, and started walking away from me.

Once I comprehended what I just saw, I mind-linked only Michael to tell him. Michael said “Dude that’s so cool. Our Luna’s so gifted.”

When I saw she was still walking in the distance I called out to her “Araaaaaa? where the hell are you going now?”

She mind-linked me saying “Up your a*s.”

I said back “Nice Arabella, really classy.” I mind-linked her “My love, what are we doing right now? Can we just sit and talk?” She responded in an angry tone saying “Oh, talk? Talk about our mating ceremony that you didn’t tell me about?” Whatever that is.” I immediately cut the link and closed off my mind. Oh f**k. Great. It was probably that sleaze, Ryker, he probably said something about it.

The most serious part about the mating ceremony is the mating part you have to do at night, obviously alone. We’ve already had s*x. So that’s already checked off. I mean the rest is just dressing up and getting married for life in front of my entire main pack of two thousand people. Oh shit, that sounds terrible. Well explaining this to Ara isn’t gonna go well.

“I already heard you. You dickhead.” Oh god. I said, “How?” She chuckled and said, “Cause you’re shit at building up a wall with your mind, that’s why?” I became furious now and I said “You know Arabella, I’m not accustomed to being spoken to like this. I only stand it because you’re my mate. Otherwise, I would have banished you.” She laughed and said, “Do it, I dare you.”

She knew I could never do it. I already started feeling sick when I saw her going into the woods after she jumped off the balcony. Not having her near me after I made love to her the night before was driving me nuts.

I said “Arabella, please just come back. I’m sorry okay? It’s not just him okay? I hate any guy in your company. At least not for the next few months at all.”

She sighed and in a second she was in front of me; “That’s not healthy. That’s not a healthy relationship. That much possessiveness and jealousy. Not letting someone have their own life, and grow. That’s insane. I’m not down for that.”

I looked into her eyes and said “Okay I’ll try to be less like that.” She said, “So tomorrow can I go?” I said “NO, he’s off-limits. I’m telling you, there’s something off about that guy. Doesn’t your Wolf feel it?”

She shook her head “Gem hasn’t given her opinion on him at all.” I rose my eyes at Arabella “Gem? And what does Gem think about me?” Arabella gave me a hard look and said “She thinks you’re a d**k and that you should stop being such a d**k.”

I rolled my eyes at her and said “I highly doubt that. She probably thinks I’m hot and intelligent.” Ara rolled her eyes at me, then looked at me with a seductive expression, it made my knees weak “Hey you wanna have s*x in the woods?” I grabbed Ara’s hand tightly and said “No, my men run through woods during the mornings.” She stuck her tongue out at me; “Dude you’re so boring.” I kissed her gently on her lips not letting go of her hand that I had a firm grip on.
