Still Ari's POV:
"I love you." Wes holds my shoulders and shook, he didn't do it hard, just because he was happy, he smiles even wider, he's touching my markings.... and he says, "Ariana! Did you hear me!? I love you!" I just sat there, so expression, he notices and says, "What? Ariana, don't you love me back?" I can't even, did he forget about my ring? I lift my hand up to my face and my palm facing towards me so he could see the ring as plain as day, this is making my head spin, I bet his is too, his face blushes his cheeks are like tomatoes, but his face, his face frowns, he recognizes, he laughs and says, "You know what, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry that I even came here." I look at him like I'm confused, I reach and I touch his neck, I say, "Wait." He's getting off the bed, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a box, and throws it on the bed, I repeat, "Wait." as he's walking out the door, he says, "Call me when you're ready to know the truth. And I promise, I won't ever let you down, ever again." He smiles and then looks down with no expression and leaves, the last words that I mutter under my breath, "Wait...Wes, I love you." I reach for the box, it's black, it's not as small as a ring box, but it's a little bigger than that, with a gold ribbon wrapped around it, I slowly opened the box, it had a necklace inside of it, a pendant, engraved with an infinity symbol, and a heart inside of it and our intials in the heart, "A+W" and our rings were on the chain. My heart was racing, I loved Ryan, what am I saying, I love Ryan, but our history in the past week.... is like shit, it was just like.... strict, he never held my hand often, he didn't seem like he cared, and he tells me I'm his, and his only, and there's men fighting over me, all the time now, and where his Ryan, nowhere, it was always up to Jake and Mac, and the only person to actually tell me that they love me, and Ryan hasn't had the guts to tell me he loves me, was only my dad and Wes. I'm having a tough time, and all this time I thought Ryan was the good guy, and Alex was the bad guy, but woah plot twist and now instead of Alex, it's Wes, and he's the good guy and Ryan's the bad guy. Who do I choose?
Ryan's POV:
Why is that dude walking into that room with Ari? I can't say whatever, I press my ear against the observer glass, I can hear, "What happened to our child?" , "WHERE IS OUR CHILD?", "Where were you?", "I love you", "Wait", "Call me", I try to connect to Ariana, she blocked me..... I walk to the bathroom, I need to wash my face, this cannot get anymore messed up, I get to the sink, I turn on the faucet, I splash some water into my face, I look up, and I turn my head, there's a guy doing the same thing I am, he's the total opposite as I am, he looks and me and smiles adn says, "Hey, um, want to go grab a pizza in the cafe?" I nod and I walk out with him, as I'm walking with him I see the back of his neck, he's got tattoos..... and they look like Ariana's...... I touch them, he looks back, grabs my hand and says, "You've found out you're really not the one that was meant for her, let's talk about it." We get to the table, he asks me, "Cheese, pepperoni, or sausage? It's on me." I sit there smiling, he says, "Sausage, you're a spicy character but cheesy too." and he leaves, he comes back, sets the pizza in front of me, and says, "eat up, and before you say something, no, I've never tried to decieve you, I respect you, but I didn't know you were in the picture until Ariana's dad called me, and when I went in to see her she told me about our baby, and to let you know, she turned me down, she held up her left hand and pushed me away, but she figured out on her own that I had the same tattoos as her, she touched them, she was just wondering, don't worry." I get enraged, I ask, "How so come I can speak to her through my mind and feel her?" he laughs and says, "You actually fell for her, but you weren't matched with her, you mistakenly made her one of your pack, she's just a fake beta in your pack, soon she's going to leave tomorrow with me and join my pack." I shake my head, I say, "Why does she have feelings for me then? and just pushed you away?" he smirks and says, "I didn't tell her that you weren't actually the one, but I did tell her to call me when she wanted to know the truth, and she has a fantasy crush on you, you're hot... but I'm way hotter in her eyes." I shake my head once more, I ask him my final question, "Who are you?" He smiles and says, "You're in my turf, I think you should be saying why am I here? I'm Wes, I'm the Alpha of the Sacremento clan. My Beta's guarding the door, don't even try going in without me, and if she asks why we're both in there together, just say we're old friends, I want her to be happy, and I don't need you to mess with my mate." I look at him, he's so smug, and I say, "I'm not going to fight about this right now, Ariana's in alot of stress right now, but I have no authority to step up over your rights in your territory, but when you're ever in mine, expect a world of pain." he smiles and and says, "Agreed, you have about 48 hours to vacate, and hand her over with her things." I sigh, and I ask, "Can I at least see her one more time and explain to her what happened?" he nods, and says, "Sure, but, you need to wait an hour, I'm expecting a call."
