The day I turned 18 was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. The beginning of my future with my mate but it all turned to hell when I was rejected. He wanted someone powerful, someone equal to him. An accessory that could help him gain power...

For the next week, I have been spending time with Sin and Adonis, both of us trying to convince Sin that we were on his side. So far, the dumbass believes everything we make up about our hatred towards Ari. Sinclair has been pressuring me to move into his room, but I kept using the making-up excuses of how I'm not ready to be near a man like that yet.
"Sweetheart, are you ready?" Sin asked me from outside my door.
A few months ago, I would have loved that nickname, but now it disgusts me.
"Almost," I replied, putting final touches to my makeup.
After denying Sin's request to go on a date so many times, I finally accepted, so he didn't get suspicious of my reluctant behavior. I've been putting off telling Arius about my date because I didn't want him to worry about me, but it is now time.
"Ari?" I asked.
"Little love, is something wrong?"
"Well... promise you won't be mad," I replied.
"What did you do, amare?" Arius asks me.
"Nothing! I swear. Sin has been badgering me to go on a date for the past week and I finally couldn't reject him any longer because he's getting suspicious," I said.
"WHAT! My baby is going on a date with another man," Arius said.
I knew he was pouting on the other side of the bond.
"Yeah, so can you hurry up and save me."
"Don't worry, darling girl, I'll be there today and Sinclair Royal will regret ever getting his eyes on what's mine," he replied.
"Love you, Ari," I said.
"Love you too. Remember to put a jacket on, the lycan kingdom can be freezing."
Annoyed, I said, "Stop babying me, Ari, I'm a wolf. We were born to withstand the cold."
"I don't care."
Stubborn asshole.
"I heard that mate. Don't worry I'll punish you for that comment, but I've to go now. Be a good girl and if Sin tries to touch you, knee him in the balls."
"Bye, Ari."
"Remember to hit him as hard as you can-" he said, but couldn't finish since I cut our bond.
I rolled my eyes at my mate's antics as I walked to the door. Grabbing a jacket, I hid a small knife in the inside pocket before opening the door. Sinclair stood outside wearing a casual outfit and his blonde hair, tousled curls.
I prefer Arius's black dress shirts with the buttons opened so I could see his tattoos.
