Roles Reversed

Chapter 4

Ariella's POV
I didn't know who this male thought he was growling at me. And Did he not realize who I was.

I use werewolf speed to appear in front of him not really paying attention to him just his wolf who refuses to back down no matter how hard I push.

I was about to pull his head off and end his life without a second thought.

But as soon as my hand touches his neck I feel these amazing sparks and this warmth.

Something I'd never thought Id feel
again. I was going to end his life anyway. I already gave the world a second chance and look where that ended up.

But looking in those beautiful sharp gray eyes. My wolf whispers mate. Which is the first time she's talked in months.

Since Crystal died she pretty much went silent.

I repeated what she said like a question

"Mate?"

I saw his eyes slightly widen at this sudden realization.

I didn't know what to do. Was this the worlds way for trying to make up for Crystal, because no one could ever replace her.

Not even my mate. I did the only logical thing at the moment. I grabbed him by the collar despite him much taller than me and dragged him to my car.

"Your pack will be spared today." I say walking away from the starting eyes.

I push him in the car and sit down next to him completely silent.

I felt his body heat radiating off of him which made me shiver.

I took this time to take in his features. He had pitch black hair and a sharp jaw line. He wasn't muscular but he was lean which even being that was impressive considering males aren't aloud to work out.

He was quite handsome but his black hair and eyes reminded me so much of Crystal . The main difference is that while Crystal had pale white skin he had tan caramel skin.

He must've felt me starting because pretty soon his eyes meet mine. I quickly looked away feeling, a slight blush? Whoa that's new.

I then hear his deep husky voice. For the first time.

"I never imagined the queen to be this cute a pouty." He says with a chuckle.

I give him a side glared followed by a deep hateful growl. Does this guy have a death wish? Since the first time I've met him he's had some major balls.

I glanced at him again and he seemed completely un bothered by my growl . This was completely un nerving because until now there's only one person who had this reaction.

I guess I was shocked and it showed on my face.

He burst out laughing
,"I'm guessing no ones stood up to you before." He says very cockly,

"No,"I snapped

"Because all those who have, have ended up dead."

He all of a sudden go's silent and then a small smirk makes its way up to his face.

He leans close to me and whispers,"then why aren't I."

I was speechless, in all of 30 min he managed to revoke feelings I haven't felt in years.

Judging by his smell he's an omega. Meaning he doesn't know any of the things I've done.

I wonder what he'll do when he finds out.

I completely forgot how close he was until I feel him lick my ear. I yelp

And shove him away, a little to hard. I'm breathing hard that action was all it took, to put my wolf on edge. And I can feel her clawing at the back of my mind to claim her mate.

I could feel my eyes slowly turn red. He looked at me curiously. While I closed my eyes and took deep breathes.

We finally arrived at my castle and jumped out of the car and I mind linked an officer to escort him to my room.

I use teleportation to go to my room. I feel like I can breathe again. I look at the picture of me and Crystal on my desk and I feel my walls coming down.

I walk into my bathroom and and turn the shower to the hottest level. I step in welcoming the burning sensation to my skin.

Lucians POV
My mate was certainly very interesting. She had this cold exterior. But I can see the cracks I was making. Though there was sometimes where I felt she was looking at me like a different person.

It made my wolf angry at the idea that there's someone else that my mate holds dear. Shortly after she disappeared from me I could tell her wolf was fighting to come to the surface,

One of the queens advisors looked at me with distaste before leading my to my mates room.

The castle was huge so I started memorizing the layout. Soon I reached my mates room and I walked in. And I was in ah. The rooms main colors were red and black but it was beautiful. The room was filled with the faint smell of someone else's scent. You could tell this person hadn't been in here for a long time but was definitely in here a lot.

My eyes drifted to a picture of my mate and some girl. I picked up the picture and study it. I could barely recognize my mate. She was smiling brightly and her eyes were a warm honey brown. Instead of a coal black. And the girl was very beautiful. With black hairs, grey eyes, and pale skin.

A door opens in the room and out comes my mate in a towel hanging lowly around her chest.

I feel my eyes darken in lust. And I drop the picture back on the desk.

My mate stares intently at the picture I dropped back on the desk.

"What are you doing," she says in a deep eerily calm voice.

And for the first time I met my mate I actually felt afraid.

But what was making her so upset. I wondered.
I picked up the picture again. And earth shaking growl came out of her.

I can feel my wolf getting antsy in my head because of my mates ranging anger.

"Drop it." My mate says.

I drop the picture again. "Who is that in the picture."

My wolf grows slightly angry because I wouldn't be surprised if my mate was in a relationship before me, especially with a girl.

My wolf started growing jealous and angry at the thought of my mate being closer to someone else.

"None of your business." My mate snaps,
But so many questions were running through my mind. Who was the girl, where was she now, will my mate reject me for her.

My mate walks up next to me and grabs the picture. She stares at it without blinking. I can see her black eyes turn to the beautiful honey brown. It's like she's in a trance.

So I do the only logical thing any guy would do.
Attack her wide open neck while her guard is down.

My lips make contact with her cold skin and she tastes so good. My mate drops the picture with a bang.

I'm expecting her to push me away as I suck harder on her beautiful neck. Instead she lets out a soft moan.

My wolf starts getting more and more aroused. That's until she moans a name, not mine but "Crystal."

I instantly stop. I turn her around so she's looking at me. And she seems to forget where we are or who's she's with because her guard is completely down and she's staring into my eyes with wonder.

I shake her a little and she seems to snap out it it. And her eyes are back to their cold color.
