Operation Unite The Beasts.

Infidelity

    ~Ariana's POV~
I sat in the office of my University's Vice Chancellor, going over a few things when an intense pain ripped through me, I gasped, gripping the edge of the desk before me to steady myself as I was hit with constant bouts of pain in quick successions, I tried standing up but my vision grew hazy and I felt myself crumbling to the ground, the VC rushed around his desk to me, shouting for help while asking if I was okay, I nodded, stopping him from calling the ambulance as I grabbed my phone and dialed Leo's number as I struggled to my feet and staggered out the office.

"Leo, I don't feel too good, I don't think I can drive, can you come get me?" I asked in a shaky pain filled voice as the intensity of the pain kept increasing, and I bit my lip hard to keep from screaming out.

"I'm on my way." he replied without hesitation, his voice sounded angry but I knew it wasn't directed at me and I didn't have the luxury to ask right now.

Taking deep breaths, I held unto the wall and pushed my legs forward, so I could at least meet him at the parking lot, my mouth was slowly filling up with blood stemming from the wound I was inflicting on myself from biting too hard but I didn't pay it any attention.

I wasn't able to make it to the parking lot before I was consumed with pain, I still refused to scream, not wanting to draw attention to myself even as I crumbled to the ground, sobbing silently, unable to understand the oddity of what I was feeling. This was how Leo and the twins found me.

"Ana!" I heard Mia's voice scream in alarm as they rushed to me, Leo picked up my shaking body, taking me to the car, Dan held the door open for him as he placed me in the back seat before the twins both got in on either side of me and Leo took the drivers seat, driving off.

As the intensity of the pain increased, knowing I was in safe hands, I let out my screams of pain, as my consiousness slipped, it went on like this for about an hour, my situation slowing down the ride intensely before the pain slowly faded away, I took a deep breath in relief, now finally aware of my surroundings, to notice we were pulled over on the side of the road, my head leaned against a crying Mia and Dan was also letting out silent tears, Leo's eyes were red with fury and my brows furrowed as that nagging feeling I had in the morning came back with a vengeance.

"What was that?" I asked slowly, referring to the sudden pain from earlier, somehow I knew in my gut that they knew something about it, from the moment Leo answered the phone, he didn't seem surprised.

They all looked away from me avoiding my eyes and I sighed in anger.

"Will someone say something!" I snapped angrily and they flinched at my tone before Leo replied.

"Before you called, Jay had suddenly rushed into his office, I tried following him but the door was locked, however, I could hear his pain filled groans within, I had my suspicions and was about barging into Talon's room with the warriors when your call came in, the moment I heard the pain in your voice, I left everything to come to you, I hadn't realized you would feel it too considering you're human, but the moment I set eyes on your curled up form on the floor, I knew my suspicions were right." he said, I raised a hesitant brow at him, somehow knowing I wouldn't like his next words, I steadied my heart for whatever was to come however no preparation could save me from the pain his next words inflicted on me.

"What suspicion and why the hell would you want to barge into Talon's room with warriors, what has he got to do with what's happening with me and Jay?" I asked angrily and he sighed looking away before replying in a sad tone.

"The pain you just felt, the same pain Jay was feeling, it only happens when your mate is having sexual intercourse with someone else, in this case the mate in question would be Alpha Talon." he said, his features hard and eyes furious, I froze at his words, replaying them in my head, as my hand came up to grip my chest even as I felt an unbearable ache in my heart, I bit my lips against the tears welling up in my eyes, refusing to shed anymore tears for him, Mia pulled me into her arms and I leaned my head against her chest, my eyes closed as I fought off the pain consuming me.
