ARIEL THE CURSED WOLF

A week later

Patrick's POV

"Tasha, why did you make me do this? You know she was my fated mate. And she has saved my life countless times. Why did you do this to me? Why did you put me up to this?" I shouted at the top of my voice at Tasha.

I was so infuriated by what she just revealed knowing she put me up to kill and turn the love of my life into a mutilani. Tasha was my mistress and s*x tool until I met Ariel, but she's been jealous and wanted to separate us, I never knew she would deceive me to carry out such an evil act.

"Shut it, Patrick!... You're mine and mine forever! No lady gets to be with you forever, and not even destiny and fate can take you away from me." Tasha replied reciprocating the enraged energy fueled by jealousy as usual.

"Patrick I made you who you are today. With my influence, I put you to manage the wealth of the richest alpha in our world. I helped you build your pack to be the strongest in this clan. I made you to be part of the world government. And you think I would just let you marry a lowlife, and not just any lowlife... A vampire breed, NEVER PATRICK!" Tasha explained still angry.

But I wasn't wavering with my mode. I was still boiling in anger, if she wasn't a lady I would torn her to pieces with my claws.

"Calm down Patrick!... We would build an empire together. Don't you want that? You have no future with that lowlife vampire breed." She continued without any scent of remorse from her.

I couldn't believe I was put to carry out an abominable act by Tasha. I've always known her to be cunning and deceitful and I've tried not to fall into her trap, but it doesn't work most times. I don't know how I fell into this one. I sunk back into the elegant rattan chair of my master's chambers.

"You knew all this while that Ariel and Uriel were the lost kids of alpha Floyd, and Ellis and Ellie were the fake parents of Ariel and you didn't say a word about it," I said feeling so devasted and frustrated.

"You mean that all these years, Ariel has been the daughter and the rightful heir to the richest empire in this world? You're mean and wicked Tasha... I mean what would you possibly gain with all this wickedness." I continued.

"You're asking what I will gain or what we will gain?..." She replied as walked closer to me. She began to caress me seductively.

"You know, this wealth is safer in our hands than that of a vampire breed ready to kill. Can you imagine what she can do with all this wealth when she turns to her true form?... This world is done for, do you get it now? This empire is safe in our hands Patrick, don't be fool." She continued.

"So you rather jeopardize someone's life just to covet what's not yours than say the truth and allow everyone involved to make the right decisions?" I replied Tasha still feeling frustrated.

"Argh! You're beginning to annoy me..." She said feeling irritated. She made her way to the entrance.

"Whether you liked it or not. It has already been done and can't be undone. If you try to do anything stupid, trust me, I will run your life myself. So keep this truth to yourself." She threatened and left me alone.

"How did I not connect the dots since? Why did I let her use me that way?" I said to myself.

Alpha Floyd has been good to me. Since I started working with him and controlling his wealth, he grew fond of me and put me in charge because he was so sick and his wife wasn't in the right state of mind to handle anything.

One thing that has kept the couple alive in their sickbeds, is to find their lost daughters.

Just a few days after I killed my lover and sold her body to be a mutilani, all orchestrated by Tasha. Alpha Floyd told me how to identify his daughter.

He showed me a mark on his left lower back, it was a birthmark he shared with his kids. He sang a song also that only Ariel knows about, that's because he composed it only for Ariel and Uriel.

Ariel sang this to me all the time before I killed her, but she doesn't seem to remember who taught her the song.

The mark on the lower back, I've seen that too when I had s*x with Ariel. But why didn't I know this on time?

I've sinned beyond redeeming. I can't even find Ariel as only the moon goddess transports the body without our information. We get paid after the moon goddess returns.

But I wasn't to be blamed alone, Ariel's fake parents wanted to sell her so badly to help their impoverished life. I think Tasha also put them up to convince me more about killing her, making them think that she was that bad and needed to be sold.

I've betrayed Ariel beyond humanity can ever do. This isn't who I am, she trusted her life to me. How did I get deceived like this?

I began to shed tears feeling so guilty of my actions. I wanted to redeem myself, but Tasha's threats were never to be taken too lightly.

Tasha has me at my balls. She could destroy my very reputation as she has had me do her dirty bidding to date. One wrong move and all my dirty side would be spilled which could end my life.

I've killed so many werewolves, and poisoned a lot, she had schemed and made me take down threatening alphas competing with Floyd's wealth.

Above all, she is currently making me poison the Floyds with slow-death poison so they can die without any suspicions. I'm as vile as she is.

I couldn't stop thinking and shedding tears for all my atrocities.

"I'm I even capable of doing anything right again?" I asked myself in devastation.
