The Pup's Mate

Chapter Thirty-Five

Chapter Thirty-Five

Arielle's POV

"I can't trust you easily without knowing what you want from me. You may as well reveal now, otherwise I will have the guards to arrest you for trespassing." I warned, glaring at her as I put my guard up.

If she was from an enemy pack, she would be in deep trouble for even daring to step into the pack grounds. I will definitely not stand here and do nothing about it.

She smiled in amusement, "Well then, have you been noticing your body releasing smoke due to you undergoing heat right now?"

Immediately, I grabbed her by the collars and glared deadly at her. "Who are you? How did you know so much?" My voice wasn't the same, it was as though I was being possessed by something stronger.

This wasn't what I would usually do. I was definitely not being myself right now.

"If you will follow me to a place briefly, you will understand your situation better."

"And how am I supposed to trust your words, seeing that you trespassed this area and spouted nonsense in front of me."

She pulled out something from her pocket and showed me an object. It was a small locket, intricate designs were spotted on the small art piece. It felt vaguely familiar, as though it was something I have seen before.

I grabbed the locket from her, slowly opening it up as it revealed a picture of me in ancient clothing with a quote on the other side of the locket.

The heart possesses the power to love.

I pondered over this statement, over and over again. It was very familiar, as though I have came across this before. All of a sudden, a flame appeared as she held her hand up in front of me.

My eyes widened at the flame in front of me. Flashes of pictures came across as I gasped, losing grip on the locket as I grasped my head in pain. One of the image pained me the most.

"Beyonce, were you the one who set 7th prince's residence on fire?" Her eyes filled with terror, staring back at the maniac version of myself. My eyes lit up, all I could see were flames and vengeance as I had set his residence on fire last night.

I breathed in heavily, tracing my scar down my left arm. "He deserves it for playing with my feelings like fire."

"Do you know what this means?" She grabbed onto my arms, shaking me from my thoughts. "To get punished for using my powers for the evil? Then let them come at me! I have already lost all of my senses thanks to that jerk. Nothing can be reversed back now, Fiona." I let it all out in anguish, pushing her away as I took a few steps back.

All of a sudden, my powers seemed to have lost control. I felt myself letting out flames without my knowledge, feeling the intense heat encircling me.

"Help! The flames! They are unstoppable! Fiona!" I screamed, hoping she would hear my pleas as I begged her to save me. But it was too late, the flames had taken over and burned me alive.

I closed my eyes, the memories of us flashing across me before letting myself surround in the darkness. He was gone, so was I as I stood there being eaten up by the flames. My own powers betrayed me just like how my first love did, turning me into nothing but ashes.

Tears ran down my cheeks as the memory crossed my mind. That happened decades ago. I have now reincarnated as a werewolf, and was given a second chance to live my life.

It wasn't my fault that the 7th prince had played with my feelings, turning me into a person full of hatred and vengeance. Yet, it was a lesson for me as I had used my powers against the innocent, and burned them alive.

But I couldn't remember how I was given this second chance to start over in this world. Looking by the sins I have committed, I should have been sent straight to hell.

"You were judged by the panel of judges at hell when you died. They weighed the sins you have committed and the good deeds you have done in your previous life. It balanced, seeing as how you have done a lot of good deeds before you got taken over by vengeance because of the 7th prince. Hence, they gave out the sentence and rewarded you a second life to start over with a mate who will only love you, and never betray you." She said, her eyes becoming soft as she stared at me.

I was suddenly reminded of my mate, Tristan. He had loved me for who I am and chose not to run away when he found out I was his mate years ago when I was still young. Until now, he still stayed in my life and embraced me with love that I shouldn't have deserved because of my past.

Though I still couldn't get over the image which had been haunting me ever since that day, but I missed him dearly. His letters were so touching as it kept on reminding me about the fact that he still loves me and holds me dearly to his heart.

However, those images were not as haunting as the ones I have gotten from my past life. If she hadn't showed up and reminded me of the past sins I have committed, my life would have went back to normal.

Once I have gotten over the heat, I would most likely be returning back to my mate.

However, everything is impossible right now. The fact that I have once taken a lot of innocent lives due to my desire for vengeance has made me very guilty.

I don't deserve Tristan in my life at all.

I closed my eyes, "Why did you have to appear in front of me again when I am living a peaceful life right now?" I wiped away my tears which were filled with guilt and remorse.

I just can't stop thinking about what I have done in my past life.

Her hand rested on my shoulder as she hugged my naked body. "I'm sorry, Beyonce. I know that I shouldn't be bothering you now that you are living a peaceful life. However, before you departed to this second life, the judges came up with a test for you. You have to prove to them that you are able to control your powers and never use it for evil desires."

I couldn't believe my ears.

A test to prove myself in order to keep this second chance to start over in life with Tristan. My eyes lit up with hope. If I don't at least prove myself that I deserve this second chance and Tristan's love, I will live my whole life in guilt.

I know I won't be able to meet his eyes the next time I see him.

If this is the only way to keep Tristan in my life, I will gladly do so. I am willing to take the risk just to be with someone I truly love and will never betray me. I want to protect everything I have right now.
