The Pup's Mate

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Arielle's POV

It has been a few days since I settled down in this place which brings me so much memories and reminds me so much of my past. I can't believe I would have lived till this day since all I ever wanted was a guy who loved me with all his heart and never betray my love.

I guess it's all fate. To be betrayed by my love in my past life, to be given a second chance to reincarnate and fall in love with a mate who loves me dearly.

I was reminded of the image where he beat up his Beta just because I found out he had bullied my mom when they were young. Ever since that incident, I felt that maybe I was too impulsive to leave on my own acoord.

I should have at least waited for his explanation, instead of jumping to conclusions. I sighed, shaking my head. What have I done?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was still childish, like the same old me in the past. It dawned on me that no matter what he has done, I still love him dearly.

I sighed again, this time missing Tristan. I wish he was here with me right now to go through this ordeal with me. Being in heat, having to deal with this newfound powers and even my past was tormenting me greatly.

I needed him so much. I needed him to stay by my side, to tell me that it was okay and he would be here with me to face this together. I craved for his touch at this moment, needing his soft kisses and embraces.

"You have been sighing for the nth time, Beyon- I mean Arielle." Fiona's voice broke me from my train of thoughts as I glanced up quickly. I sighed again, pouting my lips.

"I miss him." A chuckle escaped from her lips.

"Well, I guess it must be the mate bond." She said thoughtfully, staring at me intently. "But hey, your heat is going to be over and you can go back to him soon."

"What do you mean?" I questioned, suddenly sitting up in alert. "My heat is going to be over and I am free to go? What about my past? What about my newfound powers and how am I suppose to control it?"

"Whoa, whoa.. One question at a time." She laughed, bouncing in her seat. "First and foremost, I took a quick whiff. Your heat is slowly going away. Don't you realise you feel less painful and lesser moments when you have to take a quick shower?"

I mulled over her words, nodding my head in agreement. She was right, I felt much more like myself ever since I spent my days here rotting in her house.

"And to answer your second question, I would keep you here for a few months to teach you to control your powers and control your sudden outburst when you are reminded of your past because of something. However, you are a werewolf and you have a mate so I guess, that's a no. My next alternative is to make a deal with you."

"Hey, that isn't an outburst!" I denied, pursing my lips. She chuckled lightly, "Believe it or not, you do look like you are when you were suddenly reminded of the past."

"Geez.. And, what about the alternative you are offering?" I asked out loud, quickly changing the topic to avoid more embarrassment.

"I will need to borrow your locket for a while and transfer your powers to this locket so that your powers are concealed as of now. And, we will have to meet every Friday behind the building so that I can bring you back to this place and teach you everything that you need to know." She said as if it was something easy and brought her hand up as a gesture that she needed my locket.

I nodded, totally agreeing with her statement. I mean, since she offered to help, I wasn't going to reject. Plus, I could spend a bit of time with her, learning all I need to know so I could control myself in front of Tristan and the rest of the pack members.

I didn't want to be seen as a monster in front of them. Momentarily, I reached into my pocket and grabbed the locket in my hands tightly. "But, as of now, I do not wish to return so fast as I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and won't be at my best in front of them."

She clasped her hands over mine, giving me a huge smile. "I understand your worry. Why not we do it this way? You can stay with me here for one week, and I will teach you how to heal yourself whenever you see something that reminds you of the past."

I pondered for a while, "Sounds good to me."

"Great, before we are going to execute this, we need to go shopping first!" She said excitedly, clapping in delight. I laughed at her reaction, shaking my head. Guess she hasn't changed a bit, still the same girl who loves to go shopping.

"Alright, alright. When are we going?"

"Tomorrow!" My eyes widened in surprise. So fast?

"I don't think this is a good idea, Fiona.." I whined, not liking the idea of going out when I was still in heat. Other unmated males would look at me hungrily and might pounce on me anytime.

Not that I couldn't fight back, but I didn't want to hurt anyone with my newfound powers. That's the only thing that I fear of.

"Come on, Arielle! Don't be such a baby! Your heat is already over." She said, rolling her eyes. I stopped whining and looked up, staring at her intensely as I processed her words.

"What? Come again, my heat is over?" I asked, shocked.

She giggled, shaking her head at my reaction. "You heard me, lady. I took another quick whiff this morning and there was no horrible smell of you in heat."

"Did I smell that bad when I was in heat?" My face scrunched up in disgust and disbelief. She bobbed her head up and down.

I sighed, waving it off. Anyways, this tormenting period was finally over.

"Okay, are we now ready to go?"
